At La Villa Real.
Claudio Belles stood respectfully next to Old K, listening to her teach, “That … Miss Claud, you can do anything in this house, just don’t enter Sr. Eduardo’s study, if you enter Sr. Eduardo’s study without permission, Sr. Eduardo will really throw you in the river and feed you to the fishes.”
Besides, Sr. Eduardo’s study is full of hidden traps, and if one accidentally touches them, one could be injured or lose one’s life.
Claudio Belles nodded with his hands behind his back, “He just asked this one, by the way, he said I can’t live here and eat for nothing, so what is my job and my task?”
“Mr. Eduardo said you could follow Julian and prune the plants and trees in the yard, and if Julian needed any help, you could help.”
“So my job is, in fact, Julian’s assistant?”
Old K couldn’t help but laugh, “Pretty much what it means.”
“And pay my salary?”
Old K: “Ahem, I don’t think this … Has one.”
This girl is quite wealthy, Mr. Edward has agreed to take her in and keep her in this village and feed her, and this girl expects to work for a salary? Oh, how naive.
“Very well then, I’m off to find Julian, the housekeeper. ”
“Go on.”
…
Studio on the second floor.
The man stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, his dark eyes watching the girl downstairs absentmindedly pruning the flowers and trees with her large shears.
Old K sent all the information he had gleaned from the post-study investigation and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, following Edward the Third’s gaze as it rested on the girl in the courtyard.
“Your Excellency, this is more detailed information that was discovered.”
Eduardo Tercero took the file, scanned it and landed on the name column, Claud Belles, a name that was, literally, awkward.
“From what I’ve gathered so far, Miss Claud does have a clean record and doesn’t look like any kind of undercover agent.”
Edward the Third growled softly, “She’d be better off with constant amnesia.”
If he found out she’d lied to him, he’d break his fine neck, I’m afraid.
…
In one morning, Claudio Belles got to know everyone at La Villa Real.
Edward the Third should have had a large number of servants, but probably to exclude the eyes, there were not many servants waiting in the royal forest, and the only ones in charge were Julian and Soledad.
It was noon and lunch was being prepared when Soledad asked Claudio Belles to go upstairs and call Eduardo Tercero to come down for dinner. Claudio Belles had just gone upstairs when he saw Eduardo Tercero already coming down with his long legs and quick strides.
“It’s lunchtime and Soledad asked me to come and get you.”
Eduardo Tercero’s gaze did not settle on her face and he just spoke coldly, “No, you can have lunch.”
From the looks of Eduardo Tercero, he was probably going on an errand.
Claudio Belles, hungry after a morning’s work, though not heavy, sat down at the table as soon as Eduardo Tercero arrived at the door, fork in hand, and tried to eat.
Julian stood and could not resist reminding himself, “Claud, this is not the place for you to eat, get down.”
Claudio Belles frowned slightly, forgetting that she was now a servant in her own right. Shit!
Claudio Belles pursed his lips and was about to get down from the table when Eduardo Tercero, who had arrived at the door, suddenly turned and shouted at him, “From now on, eat at the main table, no need to come down to eat.”
With these words, Eduardo Tercero walked out the door without looking back.
Julian on one hand was a little confused, but Soledad saw right through him and joked, “You still don’t get it, you old fool, don’t you see that Miss Claud was picked up by Mr. Eduardo, but Mr. Eduardo likes Miss Claud. ”
Claudio Belles: … Is there one?
It must have been a long road to get Eduardo Tercero to like her.
