Chapter 51

"Young Master, what about me? What should I do?" Annie asked since everyone else had something to do.

Lucas froze when he heard Annie call him young master. After all, it meant that Annie was really willing to follow him. "You can also be my assistant. Nicole has way too much work to take care of." Lucas looked at Nicole's slightly dark circles under her eyes, which was a sign that she had been overworking.

Nicole was his Chief Secretary and Chief Internal Affairs Manager and had too many things to do. She was so busy that sometimes she didn't even have time to take breaks.

Nicole blushed when she heard Lucas's words. She didn't expect that Lucas had been paying attention to her.

This made Mina, who was eating snacks at the side, pause for a bit. 'I might be the only one that doesn't have anything to do aside from guarding Young Master. Wait, no, eating is considered work. After all, delicious food will go bad after being left out for a long time- yep, eating is also a job.'

"Okay, I'll work hard." Annie said, nodding her head. She glanced at Mina, who was eating quite ferociously.

"Then Nicole, you can hand over some of the documents first and then take Annie to get some stuff from the inner vault room." Lucas took out his notebook, wrote a few things, and tore off the page and handed it to Nicole. "Just get these things."

"Okay!" Nicole took the paper and looked at the words on it. "Lady Annie, please come with me."

Annie froze for a bit and then immediately followed Nicole. "Lady Nicole, what is the inner vault room?"

"The inner vault room?" Nicole smiled faintly and whispered, "It's the Young Master's treasure room. Only four people have ever entered it."

"Ah?" Annie's eyes widened when she heard that. Then she…

"The four people are Young Master, me, my father, and Mina." Nicole said proudly. "You are the fifth person that's allowed to enter the inner vault room." She had been the person who had been managing the inner vault room. To be honest, she would rather handle internal affairs for Lucas than doing chores in the territory.

Annie hadn't expected Lucas to trust her so much and her heartbeat sped up. Was this Young Master's charm?

The two arrived in another study room, which was originally Fez's study room (Previous Baron's son). When Mina found a hidden room in the study room, Lucas ordered a remodel and added protection, making the hidden room the inner vault room.

Nicole pushed open the bookshelf in front of her, revealing a door made of steel with three huge locks on it. They were high security locks that Lucas had brought from Earth.

Nicole took out three keys, opened the door, and took Annie inside. The inner vault room gave Annie the impression of a mysterious warehouse. There were a ton of boxes and shelves with strange things.

"What is that? Is that also a treasure?" Annie asked, pointing to a corner with something that had two circles. "It has a strange appearance."

"Oh, that thing? I asked the Young Master before. He said it was a type of transportation tool that could allow people to travel quickly. It's called a bicycle." Nicole said, putting her hands out. Although she was the one managing the inner vault room, she probably didn't even know what 90% of the stuff was.

"What does a transportation tool mean? Could it be that this bicycle could move by itself? But it doesn't look like a cart at all." Annie said, staring at the bicycle with curiosity in her eyes.

"Uh… To be honest, I don't know either." Nicole said, shrugging. She had learned this move from Lucas.

"Wow! That armor is so cool." Annie exclaimed, rushing to an armor. There were stars in her eyes as her fingers gently touched the armor.

"That's the armor worn by generals in Young Master's hometown. I think it's called Scale Armor. It's pretty heavy." Nicole said. She came over and stroked the armor. " Don't you think it's more beautiful than the armor worn by the other knights?"

She felt the same way as Annie did when she first saw the armor. Ben had been way more excited than they were. He had been so excited that he had stayed in the inner vault room to look at the Scale Armor for the whole day and even ate his meals in the inner vault room. Nicole wanted to laugh whenever she thought about it. Lucas had even wanted to let Ben wear the armor, but Ben kept refusing and saying that he was satisfied with just looking at it. After that, Ben moves his set of knight's armor to the most visible place in his hall and into his room.

"It's so beautiful. If those big nobles knew about this armor, they would probably be willing to spend thousands of gold coins to buy this armor." Annie exclaimed.

"Well, it's time to get the things the Young Master asked for." Nicole took out the paper and started to take things according to the numbers on the paper. "Box 1, one notebook. Box 2, one ballpoint pen…"

Annie held the notebook with both hands. Mina had one and refused to even let her see it and said that she would snatch it away. 'Hmph! I just wanted to use it for a few days.'

Now she no longer needs to, as she also had her own notebook and a ballpoint pen, which was way better than the quills that the nobles used to write with, especially since there was no need to use the stinky black ink to write.

Most of the nobles use quills or sharpened reed pens, both of which required to be dipped in ink to be able to write.

"Box 7, a bar of soap. Box 9, a set of toothpaste and toothbrushes…"

Annie followed Nicole as she took the items. Her breathing sped up every time she took an item.

"Am I going to live a better life than high nobles?"

"Yes. My father once said that the Young Master is living a life comparable to that of a prince or even better." Nicole said, nodding her head.

Annie's eyes widened in disbelief. "Really?"

"Yes, really. Come on, here's box number 13, a pack of sanitary pads…"

"What is this?"

"Cough cough… ask Mina at night!" Nicole said, blushing. She remembered how she had hid from Lucas for two days when he had first explained to her how to use that thing.

"Huh? Nicole, why is your face red?" Annie asked, confused.
