Chapter 241

"Eh?"

"To put it simply, that's it. Will doesn't need you now. Well... as the person who owns you, he thinks that you and our System family are not in an employment relationship or a slave relationship, so he doesn't need you. , you can embrace the freedom you’ve always dreamed of.”

Yiel understood the implication of Carver's "not saying it".

Just like when she was first adopted, only Will said that she was not a slave of the System family, but a maid he recognized as growing up with him.

Carver would not say it out loud, but he was willing to "free" a person who was originally a permanent servant or even a slave of the System family.

Can express this meaning...

only……

Only the young master.

Carver seemed...

Not lying to myself.

The young master doesn’t need himself anymore!

The young master doesn’t need himself anymore——

The young master does not need himself...

he……

unnecessary……

By yourself?

This does not seem to be a "no need". Will, as the "person who owns her", said this...

yes……

abandon?

The first question of "Three Hundred Questions on Darkness": First check, do you have the belief that if he loves you, he will definitely not abandon you?

"Hmm...are you going to cry because you are so happy? Okay, I'll leave right away and let you digest it."

Carver interrupted Yiel's "review".

Yi Aier didn't even notice that her nose seemed to be sore at this time, but her body seemed to be holding back tears, so her expression must have become very ugly.

Will said that he didn't like the expression on her face that looked like she was about to cry. As a wolf, one must have the strong will to overcome difficulties with one's own hands.

"Master, Master, did he really...really say that? But...but I have nowhere to go..."

"No need to be modest. I can see what Will has done. Although he is indeed interesting in cultivating elites in the dungeon, you have also worked hard. At least for now, you can come to our Adventurers Association tomorrow. For a newly built building in the capital, apply for an S-level assessment.”

Carver's every word was full of "business matters", and his tone seemed to intentionally guide her to ignore her feelings for Will as much as possible.

"S-class Holy Shields are very rare. Most adventurers either fought alone or learned from the academy - both are better at cultivating offensive rather than defensive talents."

He praised her sincerely and looked at the shield that Elle placed in the center of the room - obviously, a weapon like this that requires a lot of "financial resources" to be made by someone must have been tailor-made for her by Will. prepared.

"After all, only those who have a partner to protect behind them from the beginning will choose a career that requires and is needed by others."

but……

Every word of Carver's words is full of "vaguely private things", and his words always contain "keywords" that intentionally or unintentionally remind Elle to think of Will.

"I...I'm strong? I...can I really leave the young master and go...to live alone?"

Yiel said the words that showed "confidence" with a tone of disbelief.

"You are very strong." Carver nodded, "The reward from a single A1 level dungeon is enough for you to take a break for half a year without having to do any tasks... Thank him for his training."

A tear flashed across Yi'er's right eye.

"Of course...if you are willing to stay at the System's house as an 'experienced maid', that's not impossible. Your Aunt Susan has retired, and you have been at the System's house for the longest time. The maid is qualified for this position.”

Carver took out a card from his pocket and placed it lightly on the table. It was the business card of the head of the System family—not the business card of the manager of the Adventurers Association.

"In this way...can I meet the young master?"

"well……"

Carver sighed, using this sigh to deny Yiel's words.

"He is already in the royal family. The royal family may not like the maid we raised. But... you can try."

"It's just that he's getting married. I'm really not sure whether Your Majesty Treya will like a personal maid who grew up with him."

Yes.

Master... No, Will is going to complete his final engagement with Treya.

He seemed very happy.

If something is wrong, I must have made a mistake.

He has a new life.

As expected...

"Oh, yes. If you are interested in the head maid, you don't have to go back to where you lived before to find me. You can just go to the Adventurers Association and ask."

"...Huh? What happened to the previous house?"

"We moved a long time ago. It was originally intended for Will to live in and play. After he left, we moved south one after another. After all, in the past... being close to the capital meant being far away from other family properties."

After Carver said these words, he stood up without any intention of staying.

"Master...sir, don't you plan to stay? It's very late, it should be..."

"Oh. I did come to the city to do some business, but I won't live here. After all, this place is too cramped. Only people who are self-made and have ambition and patience can get used to it."

"Um?"

Yi'er felt that there was something in this sentence.

"The System family does have a bigger house in the capital. I'll leave first."

"Please think carefully about the next step."

…

…………

"Ma'am? We're here. No unregistered cars can be parked at the royal palace. You should come down and walk for a while as before."

"Um."

Elle held her forehead.

The wooden door that Carver closed when he left in his memory has become a small door on the carriage.

She... was still thinking about her chat with Mr. Carver last night.

Since she is already...

A person who can stand alone.

There were some things that she was willing to go to Will and confirm for herself.

even though……

He is now in the royal family -

Chapter 270 Yiel’s Wandering (2)

"Master, there are some things about "Three Hundred Questions of Darkness" that Yi'er doesn't understand."

——One afternoon at a small house in the capital, Yiel asked when Will came home from school and ate the potato pancakes baked by Yiel with the freshest tomato sauce.

"Haven't you been reading it for many years and almost memorizing it by heart? Why are you suddenly asking this now?"

Will ate very happily. He took a big bite and seemed to be a little burned. He stuck out his tongue to breathe.

In Elle's eyes, he looked particularly cute in this scene. So, she took out her handkerchief and wiped away the ketchup from the corner of his mouth.

"It's precisely because I can understand it better now. After thinking about it carefully... I feel that there are many places in it that teach Yiel to take the initiative."

"oh?"

"For example, the 200th question, the 166th question, the 97th question... and many more are encouraging Yiel to go out and do whatever comes to mind, and don't hold it in your heart - is this Are there some repetitions?”

Yi'er was wondering if his understanding of "Three Hundred Questions of Darkness" was not deep enough, so he gradually understood different questions into the same meaning.

She was waiting for Will to wag his finger and say "No, you have to understand more" like before, or even hit her on the head with his pen.

Unexpectedly...

Will crossed his hands and nodded.

"It's very good. Compared with what is given to you by text alone, you can now integrate it into your own understanding more naturally. It's worth encouraging."

"Really...really? Then...then Yi Aier's understanding..."

"Yeah. That's right."

"Um?"

"You probably haven't noticed, but I teach by making up for whatever is missing."

"?"

The ears on the top of Yi'er's head stood up, as if he was very confused about this statement.

"Some people subconsciously want to deny others and their own feelings; some people can't see their own feelings or their own hearts clearly."

Will cut the potato pancakes into pieces, picked up a small piece with a fork, then put it to his mouth and blew on it to cool it down.

"But you are not... you will not deny yourself or others, and your ideas are very simple."

Then, Will pointed a piece of potato cake in his hand at El.

"Try one. It was very good today, but it was a little hot."

Yi'er obediently leaned forward and took a piece of it into his mouth.

"You have always lacked the initiative to at least express your love. What you lack is the courage to take that step..."

She always remembered——

That day, the potato cakes she made were very sweet. After dipping them in tomato sauce, they were sweet and sour.

Very delicious.

The young master fed it to him.

So...it tastes better.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now Yiel is taking "one step of courage" to move forward.

"I always feel that something...is not quite right here today, but I can't seem to tell."

Elle was walking on the path leading to the main entrance of the royal family. She was holding up the skirt of her maid uniform because the edge of the skirt could easily rub against the weeds nearby.

It was a maid outfit customized by the System family. It was the outfit she wore the longest, and it was also the outfit she thought she could best show off in front of the young master.

Therefore, she did not want the young master to dirty it.

The weather is sunny and sunny today, and it is rare to find a "warm" day in late autumn. Before winter comes, it is probably difficult to find such a warm autumn day as today.

However, after experiencing Carver coming to her door last night to tell her such a "fact", Yiel really couldn't warm up.

Even if I hugged my tail tightly, I couldn't feel the warmth that I usually feel when I hug my tail.

Yiel's idea is very simple.

In fact, she never cared whether the young master was really engaged to the royal family.

In fact, she has never cared whether the young master really has his heart.

She didn't care at all whether the young master really ran away with someone.

All she cares about is...
