"Wow! Is this Castle Manor? Where we will work in the future?"

"So...so big and beautiful! It's not as scary as the rumors say!"

"Trees! Lots of trees! And flowers! Wow! And a fountain!"

"What a big house! This...is this a palace?"

"It feels... it feels like a dream."

In the Castel Manor, the boys and girls who got off the carriage looked at everything around them curiously, with very excited expressions.

Even the most anxious child has bright eyes at this moment.

Having lived in the outer city since childhood, they had never seen such a scene.

Even the young girl Shirley, looking at the colorful flowers and flying butterflies in the garden, had a hint of light in her cold eyes.

"Of course, this is where everyone will work from now on."

"Not only that, from now on everyone's monthly allowance will be equivalent to that of a trainee priest in the church, which is twenty quintana a month."

"And if everyone does well in the future or reaches a certain rank, their salary will be further improved."

Looking at the excited teenagers and girls, Charlotte said with a smile.

After listening to her words, everyone became even more excited:

"Two...twenty quintana?!"

"Oh my god! It's more than my father makes in a year!"

“Castle Manor is amazing!”

"Long live Lady Charlotte! Long live the Castel family!"

The boys and girls cheered.

Looking at them who were extremely excited, the corners of Charlotte's mouth slightly raised.

Different from the servants hired before who are already quite old, these young girls are blank slates, and they are at the age where they are best molded and most easily satisfied.

Facing them, Charlotte didn't need to put as much effort into training her servants as before. At that time, it took a lot of effort just to make the servants not regard her as a little girl.

Adolescent children tend to eat soft food rather than hard food.

Facing these newcomers who are not much different in body and age from hers, as long as you are nice to them, as long as you let them feel that you are one of their own, coupled with your natural aristocratic status and master status, you can completely win the favor of most people.

Recognition and loyalty.

In other words, facing these newcomers, the charm effect of the prestige technique may be much better than the intimidation effect.

The most obvious evidence is that from the moment they first saw her, the young trainee knights and trainee mage apprentices in the team were already blushing and their eyes were evasive, but they were all full of energy and seemed to be eager to become

The girl is a loyal follower.

Especially when Charlotte looked at them inadvertently.

She smiled slightly, her long golden hair shining in the sun, and her pure blue eyes like the clear sky, which seemed to carry a deep magic power that almost attracted the souls of the young people.

Charlotte perfectly replicated that sense of innocence and goddess, just like first love on campus.

The spirit of chivalry and desire for protection buried deep in the young man's heart were aroused almost instantly. They could not wait to kneel down on one knee to the girl and offer their loyalty.

Although... in fact, they may not be able to defeat Charlotte alone.

Transcendents who have not yet entered the level are also different.

Although most of these extraordinary children have awakened extraordinary powers, they are not as powerful as Charlotte, who is a vampire.

However, they are Castel's hope for the future.

With a little training and the use of Castle's vast financial resources, Charlotte will be able to make a name for themselves in a few years.

They are Charlotte's future bodyguard knights and court mages.

Besides them, there were the maids, twenty-three of them in total including Shirley, who claimed to be a magic apprentice and trainee knight.

Almost all of them have received professional training, and the professional training is suitable for the Castel family etiquette.

Although the charm effect is less effective on them, every time the girl smiles at the girls, they will blush and lower their heads.

Except Shirley.

This maid who had the strongest overall ability, could work in the hall and in the kitchen, was more skilled in cooking than the manor chef, and even had the strongest awakened supernatural power, had always been cold to Charlotte.

"The mask you are wearing is really deceptive."

She said coldly.

Charlotte smiled slightly, not caring at all about the girl's ridicule and provocation.

She knew that the girl was very wary of her, and she didn't want to stay here. She wished Charlotte would return her goods immediately.

She also knows why.

After communicating with Quasimodo, Charlotte learned that Shirley witnessed how her parents were kicked out of the manor when she was a child, and also experienced a very difficult period.

Under such circumstances, it is normal to distrust Castel, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is disgusted.

But even so, she still listened to her parents and came to the manor silently, which also showed that she was an honest and good child.

Charlotte is looking forward to the day when she can open her heart and win her loyalty.

This gave her a sense of excitement and challenge similar to a strategy game.

After all, the more thorny the rose, the more fragrant it will be when it blooms.

…

The participation of more than fifty boys and girls made the originally deserted Castel Manor lively.

However, Charlotte didn't stay outside for long.

The sun was out, and the longer she stayed, the more uncomfortable she became.

Back in the study, Nice finally came back out of breath.

It collapsed on the ground like a dead cat, looking at the girl with eyes full of resentment:

"Xia...Miss Charlotte...Master Cat...no, how could Nice have offended you again?"

Charlotte glanced at it lightly and did not answer directly, but asked:

"How many people know about Thorns and Roses?"

Nice's eyes suddenly widened.

It instantly understood why it was being punished, and felt guilty for a moment:

"Uh... um... Lady Charlotte, this is all a misunderstanding. I hadn't become your servant at that time..."

"Meow... You know, even a cat has to spend money to buy dried fish... The church won't give us a subsidy, so of course we have to find our own way..."

Charlotte glanced at it coldly and repeated:

"How many people know about Thorns and Roses?"

Nice shrank his neck.

It thought for a while and said:

"Um...it shouldn't be much."

"I did resell the information...but, I only sold it to the Rose Society..."

"Wait! Did that guy Sebastian tell you?! This bastard who has no spirit of contract!"

As if he realized something, Niss suddenly became furious.

But seeing Charlotte's cold gaze, it shuddered again, withdrew its gaze, curled up its tail and continued:

"Well... apart from the Rose Society, I probably only have Raoul, Carla, the Duke, and the high priest."

"No, wait... there should be someone else who knows the name of the second son of the Gaston family... um, Jordan?"

"As a vassal's child, he must serve the lord's family for a period of time, and he is a knight of the Duke's palace."

"After Carla reported the matter to the Duke, she mentioned that she happened to meet him when she went out, and he looked away at the time, so he probably heard it outside the door."

Jordan? The peacock who was scared to death by Sebas?

Charlotte's heart moved slightly and she looked at Sebastian beside her.

"A cowardly loser, but... he has made a bunch of bad friends. Maybe you can investigate him carefully. The secret of your Holy Emblem is likely to be leaked from him."

Sebastian said.

Charlotte nodded slightly:

"You do this. In addition... prepare some extraordinary blood for me, just like last time."

"I will obey your orders."

Sebastian saluted respectfully and was eager to try.
