"My na is Albert. I have been serving the Horiel family for 20 years."
The butler introduced himself to Aleshia with a smile. He was one of the old butlers of the mansion. He is very experienced when it cos to training new people. A new maid like her still needs to be trained after all.
"M-my na is Aleshia. I'm 18. From the slum district…"
Aleshia introduced herself shyly. This was her first ti interacting with a butler face to face. There was a feeling of inferiority in her as she revealed that she was from the slum district. After all, it was not sothing to be proud of.
Living in the slum district ans that you have the lowest possible quality of life in this city. It was sothing people from the other districts frowned upon.
"How did you et the Young Master?"
Albert is really curious about how she ca to et Lawrend. After all, the only ti Lawrend left the mansion recently was when he and Alfred went to the adventurer guild to post a bounty.
"I t him on the streets. He offered a maid job because he likes maids."
Aleshia lied to Albert. She couldn't just tell him that she t him inside his room. It would either turn into an affair or it would make her really suspicious. After all, no one saw her enter or exit the mansion.
"Oh. The Young Master is too bold to ask that to a beautiful girl like you."
Albert laughed to himself. He didn't expect the Young Master to have the guts to do sothing like that. It would be really embarrassing to just approach so beautiful girl and ask her to be his maid just because he likes maids.
"Yes."
Aleshia smiled back. This butler is quite nice. Her impression was that he would look down on her after knowing that she was from the slum district. Instead, he did none of that.
"And you agreed?"
It was beyond Albert to think that there could be beautiful girls out there who would be willing to accept such an offer.
"Yes, the pay is really good."
Aleshia nodded her head. This part was true. She was desperate enough to accept even a maid job from a man known to be fond of maids.
"Anyways, we are here. I'll be guiding you on the training inside. Don't be too shy when eting the Young Master. He is a nice person."
Albert quickly explained to Aleshia after the carriage stopped. He stood up and left the carriage. Aleshia followed behind him. The gates of the mansion opened and the guards were looking at her in curiosity. This would be the first ti a woman would be working here in years.
Lawrend was pacing back and forth inside the dining room. There was food on the long table for two. She never said when she would co so he was waiting in anticipation for her arrival. He sent Albert, another one of the reliable old butlers in this mansion, to check on the noble district gate.
Before long Albert walked inside the dining room. Lawrend looked at him in anticipation.
"Is she here?"
Albert was just about to open his mouth but instead, he was interrupted by the excited Lawrend. Albert smiled lightly after seeing that.
"Yes, Young Master. She's here."
Lawrend was imdiately overjoyed when he heard Albert's words. Aleshia entered the dining room and showed herself in front of Lawrend. Lawrend was imdiately awestruck when he saw her. She was very beautiful.
His image of her would be a plain girl, but it turned out that he lucked out. It was so contrasting to the assassin he saw last night that he was even doubting his own eyes.
"Cough."
Albert couldn't help but remind Lawrend when he saw that he was entirely focused on her. He was acting unlike what a noble should do.
"Ah yes, Nice to et you! My na is Lawrend Horiel."
Lawrend imdiately went forward and offered his hand in a handshake. Aleshia took it and shook it in embarrassnt. She felt entirely different now that she was eting Lawrend in her ordinary form. Unlike when she's in her black cloak, she feels comfortable that no one would see her face and expressions.
"My na is Aleshia."
Aleshia tried her best to smile. Lawrend was imdiately able to notice the unnatural roughness of her hand. He couldn't expect any more from an assassin like her. She had the rough hand of an expert.
"I'm glad that you ca here so early. I was waiting for you in anticipation!"
Lawrend already forgot that she was the sa assassin as last night. Her form right now is just too different from it that his mind couldn't connect the two. Aleshia smiled wryly after hearing his words. As expected of soone who is very fond of maids.
Albert already left long ago. Seeing his Young Master acting like that only made him embarrass himself. He was totally not like a noble.
"Thanks?"
Aleshia didn't know what to say after hearing such a complint from her supposed target to kill. Lawrend didn't mind her response. In fact, it only made him excited that she was not being too cold with him.
"Ah, right. You still need to be asured for your maid uniform."
Lawrend rembered after he noticed the old dress that she was wearing. Aleshia's eyes imdiately dilated when she heard the words, 'maid uniform'. Her heart was still not ready to wear sothing like that.
"N-now?"
Aleshia asked nervously. After all, she clearly knows that she would beco Lawrend's eye candy after she starts wearing one.
"Of course! The sooner the better."
Lawrend didn't notice her embarrassnt, but rather he spoke to her with blazing excitent. He was too excited to see soone as beautiful as her in a maid outfit to care about any other details.
"..."
Aleshia couldn't object to him after seeing his excited expression. She was then taken by Albert to a changing room where she asured herself.
