New Coming

Early the next morning, Anna walked briskly to the earl's mansion. The knee injury is no longer a serious problem. It took less than half an hour to walk. Working hours start at 7 am, and she needs to get up at 6 o'clock in the morning. Fortunately, It was not difficult for her.

Now that the spring is just beginning, the sky is bright early, Anna is walking on the road, and you can see the busy civilians coming and going. Common people need to run around for a living and must get up early, but the nobles have a comfortable life, and there are often banquets in the evening until the early hours of the morning, and they wake up after nine in the morning, so the kitchen maid will only work at seven in the morning.

As for the evenings with banquets, many preparations will be done in advance, and the maids who come home every day like Anna can get home from get off work at 7 o'clock, and the rest of the maids who live in Earls Court can do well. There salary is also higher than Anna's.

After greeting the guard at the back door of the earl's mansion, Anna entered the earl's mansion. She walked safely to the kitchen along the road Rebecca took her with yesterday.

The kitchen in Earls Court is very large, and there are more than a dozen people working there. The kitchen was divided into several rooms. In the corner of the largest preparation room, there was a clock. When Anna arrived, the clock just showed 6:55.

When Anna arrived, she went to find Rebecca. Rebecca was busy finishing the banquet last night. Seeing that Anna was coming, she asked her to help.

Rebecca is only three years older than Anna, but has been working here for five years. She is an old maid trusted by Mrs. Mary. Her words and deeds also seemed to be moving closer to Mrs. Mary, but at the age of twenty, she always had a straight face and an impersonal appearance.

"Anna, you wash these napkins first, and I will teach you how to fold them later." Rebecca said to Anna with a solemn face. "

Anna nodded: "Okay, Rebecca."

Rebecca first showed Anna how to wash the napkins and how to remove stubborn stains. Anna listened very carefully.

Because it was the first time to wash napkins, it took Anna half an hour to clean all ten napkins and dry them out. Rebecca checked it first and nodded without saying anything, but Anna knew that this showed that Rebecca was satisfied with her results.

As for the next folding of the napkin, it was a piece of cake for Anna. She has dexterous fingers, good memory, and very good spatial imagination. After Rebecca demonstrated it, she learned the method.

Rebecca had just planned to polish the cleaned silver tableware before completing one. Anna, who had expected it to take at least one or two hours to stack up to a qualified level, came over with her work.

It was a folded napkin with a petal-like appearance. Although it was the simplest requirement of the Earl's Court Maid, it was also relatively complicated. Rebecca did not expect Anna to fold it so quickly, and she looked very good.You folded it yourself?" Rebecca asked.

Anna nodded: "Yes, after memorizing the trick, it's very simple."

Rebecca is polishing the silver tableware. This is a very important job. Only a kitchen elder like her can touch it. So she thought about it and called another person over to teach Anna other tricks.

Seeing Anna's concentration while studying, Rebecca also had a little more recognition in her eyes.

When Rebecca finished her work, she walked to Anna to check her progress.

At this time, the maid who taught Anna had already left, and only Anna was folding flowers there. At this moment, her hands were performing tricks that Rebecca had never seen before.

Rebecca coughed, Anna looked up and smiled: "Rebecca, I have finished learning."

Even though she knew that Anna was learning fast, Rebecca still couldn't believe it after hearing about her progress at this moment.

It's not that she has never brought newcomers before, and it usually takes about three days for them to learn courses like folding napkins.

But now it's only been two hours at most.

"Next, I will evaluate you. If you pass, you can continue to the next study." Rebecca remained stern and did not show much emotion.

Anna put away her smile and nodded seriously: "I'm ready."

Rebecca's assessment is very simple, just name a napkin pattern and let Anna fold it out. In Anna's opinion, this has the same meaning as English words in middle school.

There are a total of twenty kinds of folding napkins, and Rebecca drew three basic ones, three difficult ones, and Anna didn't feel embarrassed.

Rebecca's stern face couldn't help showing a very faint smile: "Good job."

"Thank you, the teacher taught me well." Anna said modestly.

Rebecca nodded, did not say much, and then taught Anna about the placement of tableware.

There are also many doorways here. The nobles have a lot of ways to eat. There are three or four sets of knives and forks. Different dishes require different tableware. Anna must remember.

Compared with the various report data that Anna needed to remember in the past, they are all in pediatrics. She still learns very quickly and successfully passed Rebecca's assessment.

According to Rebecca's idea, after she taught Anna, she could do her own thing, and let Anna practice the rest. But because Anna learns fast, Rebecca patronized her to teach her for half of the first day.

Fortunately, Rebecca has also taught many newcomers, so there is nothing to teach in advance.

When Rebecca was going to teach Anna more table manners, someone hurried over and shouted at the kitchen door: "Where is the new maid?"

Anna was stunned, is he looking for her?

The visitor was a teenager. Seeing no one answered, he glanced around and asked again: "Which is the new maid?"

Anna raised her hand: "It's me."

She recognized that this young man had been with Master Parrish. He was sitting outside the carriage and should be Master Parrish's personal servant.

how to say? The tree wanted to be quiet but the wind continued, and the demon was not so kind to let her be alone.

Fortunately, Anna was already mentally prepared.

After accepting the demon's help, having to continue dealing with him was the price she had to pay.

The boy looked at Anna, as if confirming her appearance, and then said, "Master Parrish is going to have a meal."

Anna struggled a little bit: "I'm still learning the rules, I'm afraid that it will affect the young master's mood if I don't do it well."

The boy sullenly said: "Master asked you to go by name."

What's the name... I'm afraid that the demon still doesn't know her name, so the manservant next to him also refers to her as the "new maid".

Anna had been mentally prepared for a long time, seeing that the struggle was useless, so she had to respond.

It was already twelve o'clock, and the rules of Earls Court were almost nine o'clock breakfast, 1:30 p.m. lunch, four o'clock afternoon tea in the afternoon, and eight o'clock dinner in the evening. Therefore, a lot of lunch is almost ready, and Master Parrish wakes up late, and the kitchen has always prepared his breakfast, because he did not specifically order, Rebecca asked Anna to bring breakfast.

Waiting for Anna to leave, the maids who hadn't been paying attention to her originally, and the maids who hadn't lived in their hands all got together in twos and threes, and the topic of discussion was naturally about Anna.

Only Mrs. Mary knew about Anna's situation when she was hired yesterday, but the people who were eliminated yesterday will naturally complain to the elders in the family when they return. Therefore, there are many rumors about Anna.

Anna, who had just come to study for a long time, didn't feel the pressure brought by the rumors. She carried the food box and followed behind the teenager who called herself Wodo, thinking about how to deal with the demon for a while.

In fact, it is not too difficult, as long as she firmly refuse it.

The place where Anna saw "Master Parrish" again was in the sun room of his residence.

The glass in this world is no different from what Anna had in mind. The transparent glass with a few bubbles is combined in pieces to tightly wrap the entire outwardly extending balcony. The sun shines through the glass and can even be seen from different angles. Colored rainbow.

Master Parrish, wearing a white shirt, was bathed in such unheated sunlight, his whole body seemed to be covered with a layer of radiance, and his handsome eyebrows were as moving as angels.

Of course, this was a sight seen by others, but Anna immediately lowered her head after seeing the evil spirit hidden under the handsome skin, for fear that she would accidentally meet the devil's eyes.

She cautiously stepped forward, opened the warm food box, and took out the breakfast in exquisite porcelain. There were Arnando sausages, warm Missa Plateau goat milk, white bread baked with refined flour, and meat sauce as a dipping sauce.

Anna placed the food on the table where the devil was sitting, and stepped aside. During this period, she felt that the demon was looking at her, and she had been staring at the desktop, completely afraid to look at him.

According to the etiquette that Rebecca said casually when she taught her, she had to wait aside and wait until the demon had finished eating before packing up and leaving, unless the other party instructed otherwise.

Damien did not withdraw his sight.

Last night, Earl Wilson hosted a banquet, but he didn't go there because of his illness. He was very disgusted with dealing with those hypocritical human beings, and he was not interested in doing anything else, so he just fell asleep. It was a bit unexpected for him to wake up today. In the past, he might sleep for several years as soon as he slept.

He thought about the bet with Balan if he wanted to come.

The Abyssal Tree Seed is something he must get. Since Balan is so generous to make a bet, how can he let the opponent down?

Speaking of betting...

Damien looked at Anna and curled his lips slightly, but that didn't mean he was happy.

On the contrary, he is very, very upset now.

Why can't she obediently accept his marriage proposal, and then suffer all the torture in the years to come before taking her last breath?

Why does she want to play so much?

Damien recalled Parrish's memory, propped on one elbow on the table, with a charming smile on his face, and his eyes lightly fell on Anna: "My dear girl, how are you in the kitchen? If anyone bullies you, you must tell me and I will protect you."

Listening to this "affectionate confession", what Anna thought in her heart was that the demon really didn't know her name!

Of course, she didn't feel the need to remind him that it was absurd to say "deep love" without knowing her name.

She respectfully said: "Thank you very much, Master Parrish, for your concern. I am very good in the kitchen and everyone takes care of me."

Damien smiled and pointed to the place beside him, "I have the honor to invite you, who is beautiful, to have a meal?"

Parrish has a lot of suitable words to choose from in his memory. This is something Damien is quite satisfied with. If the first human woman he meets is not the one with the deep scheming in front of him, he may be about to win the bet.

Whether it is to kill this human woman directly or whether she finds someone else, it may be a better choice, but these two options, no matter which one they choose, are a humiliation to Damien.

It should have been extremely easy for a hypocritical human woman to agree to his marriage proposal, but when he encountered such an anomaly, he regarded it as a provocation.

The gambling appointment has just begun, and he has plenty of time to repay her provocation.

Anna lowered her head and replied: "Master, I am just a maid, and I dare not humiliate the reputation of Master, please don't do this, Master."

If this demon actually appeared in front of her, she might still dare not resist, what he said is what he said, but since he is possessed by others, it seems to be restricted by some rules, of course she must make good use of it, and honestly. "Revolt"!
