Chapter 2239: Chapter 1246: The Upcoming eting
The slender figure appeared silently, and the other maids imdiately shut their mouths obediently, except for the short-haired maid Barbara, who continued boasting about her experiences at the Coronation Ceremony.
It wasn’t until she noticed Beatrice winking at her, and the other maids staring behind her, looking extrely stiff, that one maid, in her nervousness, even knocked over a bucket of water but didn’t dare to move an inch.
“What’s wrong with you all?”
Barbara instinctively turned around, only then realizing the slender figure behind her.
The newcor was also a maid, with a delicate makeup on her fair face, looking very smart and her cool deanor complented her neatly cut short hair, clearly more mature and composed than Barbara, who also had short hair.
“Alia, Head Maid Alia!”
Feeling the subtle sense of pressure emanating from the newcor, Barbara straightened her body nervously and hurriedly said, “Head Maid Alia, please hear my excuse… No, please hear my explanation. We are all diligently completing our work, definitely not intentionally loafing or gossiping.”
After Barbara finished speaking, Beatrice and the other maids also nodded like little chicks pecking rice, evidently very afraid of the newcor.
This was no wonder, everyone knew that Head Maid Alia was the close maid of His Royal Highness the Holy Lion, who has established great achievents by risking her life with a brave heart and a sharp sword for the prince. She was not only a target of admiration but also a revered senior maid. How could they not show utmost respect?
“You’re the third daughter of the Jess family, naly Barbara, right?”
Alia placed one hand on her waist, and while scrutinizing the short-haired maid in front of her, she began enurating, “Your father Viscount Jess, the Deputy General of the guards, fought valiantly alone against three Fallen Knights during the recent battle at Radiant City to protect Your Majesty Lawrence, eventually getting severely injured and unconscious, thus exemplifying the courage and resilience of the Grim nobility. How is he now?”
“Back to Head Maid Alia, with the help of several precious Healing Magic Potions, my father has almost recovered. According to Your Majesty Lawrence who ca to visit, those Healing Magic Potions that saved my father were personally bestowed by His Royal Highness the Holy Lion!”
Barbara’s face imdiately showed a touch of gratitude as she hurriedly replied, “The grace bestowed by His Highness, I shall never forget for the rest of my life!”
“Then why were you neglecting your duties at a banquet that His Royal Highness the Prince values highly? For a maid, this is our battlefield!”
Alia slightly furrowed her brows and looked towards the long-haired maid on the other side, “And you, Beatrice, the second daughter of the House of Brown. Your father, Baron Brown, as the captain of the New Guardian Knights of the Temple of Light, is now intensely on guard at the City Wall of Radiant City, yet here you are dancing around with a mop!”
“Sorry, Head Maid Alia, we know our mistakes!”
Upon hearing Alia’s reprimand, Barbara and Beatrice imdiately lowered their heads, looking like children who had made a mistake.
“Enough, leave this to , all of you go to the kitchen to wash vegetables, they are just right lacking a team of hands.”
Seeing the maids looking aggrieved, Alia’s tightly furrowed brows quickly relaxed as she gently waved her hand.
“As you command, Head Maid Alia!”
Upon hearing that they could leave the banquet hall to help in the kitchen, despite their sowhat dim expressions, Barbara and the others quickly accepted the order and left swiftly.
“These noble ladies are indeed flawless in etiquette, but they still need more tempering in terms of work.”
Watching the maids leave, Alia let out a soft sigh and picked up the mop, beginning to diligently clean up the spilled water stain.
“Alia, aren’t you being a bit too harsh on them?”
Not far away, seeing Alia’s actions, Alia hurried over to help, smiling, “After all, these girls were just pampered noble ladies not long ago, it’s quite remarkable how fast they’ve progressed.”
“They indeed did very well, but still not outstanding enough. It would usually be fine, but this is a eting highly valued by the Lord, who specially instructed us multiple tis through Mind Talk, how can we not tread carefully?”
Alia squeezed the water from the mop neatly, a touch of loss again appearing on her fair face as she sighed softly, “Now the Lord is surrounded by more and more outstanding people, even though we cannot always stay by the Lord’s side, we must at least give our all on our own battlefield.”
“Exactly, we must not let the Lord down for a mont!”
Alia also nodded heavily, speeding up her actions.
With these two Tier 4 maids working wholeheartedly, the area soon transford, and even the floor looked bright and shiny.
After instructing another team of reserve maids to take charge of this area, Alia and Alia were finally satisfied and moved towards other parts of the banquet hall.
“Alia, speaking of which, the maids are all honored to see the Lord, especially Barbara and Beatrice, they’re so excited they haven’t slept well for several nights. Do you think sending them to the kitchen is too discouraging for them?”
Seeing the preparations in the banquet hall co to a perfect conclusion, Alia sighed in relief and asked again.
