Chapter 273 – That Maid Seems Naive (2/2)

As Elena guessed, while Lin Xiao used his spoon to feed Elena, the young aristocrats at the same table started quietly discussing.

“Hey Higgings, what’s with that bumpkin, he didn’t sneak in did he?”

“No, he’s Princess ShenDai Ying’s distinguished guest, apparently he’s her benefactor… I heard that from Pelle at the door.”

“Puh… what kind of distinguished guest, he has no manners.” Someone next to him almost laughed, leaning towards Higgings and pointed towards the master-servant pair, “He’s actually personally feeding his maid… nonsense, a mere lowly maid is fit to eat the same food as us? He’s humiliating us!”

“He indeed has no manners and is probably a poor student, but he isn’t feeding the maid to humiliate us.”

“Oh? Then why is he…”

“Heh, do you not see the look in his eyes?”

“His eyes?”

After he heard that, he curiously looked towards Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao foolishly laughed as he fed his maid. It was like he was even happier than eating it himself, his maid was also very cooperative, her cheeks dyed red as she parted her cherry-pink lips and ate the food her master fed bite by bite. Sometimes she would get some on the sides of her mouths, so she would use her tongue to lick it off, then continue to wait for her master to feed her.

How in the hell was this feeding, he was just straight up flirting in front of them!

“From what I know, some bumpkins would treat their maids as outlets and in the process would even fall in love with their maids.” Higgins rationally analyzed.

“So… that kid and his maid has that kind of relationship? Eh… how disgusting.”

To nobles, servants were no different than ox that ploughed the field, or the horses they rode. They were all lowly tools, not humans. Even a beautiful maid was nothing but a tool to relieve boredom, and they would never get emotionally invested.

But it was evident that the bumpkin in front of them broke that rule, his loving eyes betrayed his heart.

This guy truly liked his maid.

“Sigh, but his maid is indeed beautiful, if it was me, maybe…” Higgins gazed at Elena’s silver hair, red eyes and beautiful appearance, as well as her exaggerated figure and was entranced.

“Hah? Higgins, you’re not interested in her, are you? Please, didn’t you just say you were chasing after Princess Pelle a couple of days ago, how can she compare?” His companions ridiculed him without mercy.

“Peh! What do you know?” Higgins awkwardly cursed and in order to not attract any attention, he quickly lowered his volume and whispered, “You don’t get it… you can tell that she’s a naive maid, I’ll trick her and play with her then give her back, isn’t that interesting?”

“Hehe… right, she’s probably eager to get all over an aristocrat like you!”

The companion agreed and laughed together, but he suddenly widened his eyes and tugged Higgins soothes.

“Hey, stop talking… he’s coming!”

“Ah? Is he finally here…”

After hearing his companion’s urging, Higgins quickly arranged himself and stood up along with everyone else and faced the King that was walking into the hall.

The originally boisterous hall suddenly became completely silent.

Along with an escort of several attendants, a blond middle-aged man appeared at the main entrance.

Wearing a crown and golden robes, even if he was aged and had wrinkles he still had his heroicness. He held a golden scepter inlaid with gems while slowly walking into the hall.

Even if he didn’t say anything, everyone respectfully lowered their heads. The king ignored it and walked to the center spot and sat between ShenDai Ying and Caesar.

“Long live the king!”

“Long live the king!”

Everyone hailed the king, the momentum was overwhelming and the causal atmosphere was completely swept away and stopped Lin Xiao who was gorging himself, dead in his tracks.

The king gently coughed and waved his hand and spoke of some greetings before getting to the main topic.
