Chapter 18: First Maid Acquired (1/2)

Albert gave Aleshia a measuring tape and a paper with lists of all the measurements she should take. Aleshia wrote 160 cm in height before she quickly finished taking all the other measurements. Albert took a look at it and nodded in satisfaction.

”I will have your maid uniform done by tonight. For now, just rest inside your living quarters.”

After giving an order to Aleshia, Albert quickly left to see a tailor. He would have the tailor make Aleshia's maid uniform.

Aleshia nodded her head and went to look for her living quarters. In this mansion, the guards and the butlers have their own living quarters. They live in the mansion so they wouldn't have to enter and exit the noble district.

Aleshia felt sad after knowing that she left her little sister alone at home. She would sneak out later to meet her. She still couldn't trust anyone to keep her little sister safe. The high pay of the bounty is enough to even make the most cheapskate of a bounty hunter to give the poor people in the slums a gold coin.

It would be enough for them to live comfortably for a few months or to even buy things that they wanted. It was just the power of money.

Aleshia lied down on the single bed inside the small room. She smelled it and it smelled really good. She felt the softness of the bed and a relaxed expression appeared on her face. Sleeping on a soft bed would be really comfortable. If Ella could only sleep on something like this…

Aleshia was regretful that she couldn't buy something like this for Ella. After all, she had to save even a single gold just for Ella's treatment.

What Aleshia didn't know was that Lawrend was peeking at her from the cracks of the door. Lawrend was just very curious about her. Since she was an assassin and also very beautiful.

”Cough. Young Master, what are you doing?”

Albert just came back from the tailor. He wanted to teach Aleshia the rules of this mansion. But he instead saw the Young Master peeking inside her room like a pervert. Even he was bewildered by it.

”I-I'm doing an inspection.”

Lawrend immediately went stiff and thought of an excuse. It was very embarrassing for him to be seen by one of his butlers. Aleshia heard the commotion outside and opened the door.

”...”

Albert was speechless at his Young Master's shamelessness. He didn't know that Lawrend could act like that. It certainly opened his eyes.

”What's going on?”

Aleshia couldn't help but ask after seeing the two of them outside her room. Lawrend immediately turned towards her and spoke.

”I'm here to give you this.”

Lawrend passed to her a piece of paper. It had the stamp of the adventurer guild and also written in it was ”Alive Bounty Contract”. Aleshia took the piece of paper and was surprised that it was the paper that could be used to cancel the Alive Bounty in the adventurer guild.

”Thank you.”

Aleshia smiled sweetly at Lawrend. Lawrend smiled back and nodded his head. Albert was suspicious after seeing Lawrend pass the contract for the Alive Bounty that he and Alfred posted several days ago.

”If you want, your little sister could also stay here with us.”

Lawrend suggested to her. He knew that she had a little sister and knowing that she's very protective of her, it would be hard for her to take care of her if she's left alone at home.

”I will think about it.”
