Chapter 18: Converse
" ....And this is Maid quarters, where we, the servants live " said the maid in front of me with her cold, professional smile.
This make my heart flutter, it made my heart beats faster every time I saw her smiles.
It's not that I'm a masochists.
It just that this woman before me made me wanna run to her and gave her..... a slap to the back of her head, knock her out and just ran away from this compound!
Seriously! Every time that we went into a place that filled with servants, she, the current maid in front of me, always command all the servants in the room, bow to me. It's so embarrassing!
I could still remember it clearly when we came into the kitchen.
----------------------------------------
*Boom
The door slammed open.
"Attention! You!, yes you!. All of you, this is the Young Lord of this Xue family, please give your respect now! " The maid shouted with a bossy attitude, I didn't even knew that the maid before me could do something like this.
I thought that she's just somewhat cold and indifference maid.
But now.... watching the scene before me, I feel like I'm about to cry soon.
' Are you sure you're a maid and not a bandit? '
Did she think she could do all of this thing with my mom's order. Did she think my mother could defend her against the slander among the servants?
No!, wait!
Did she ever think about this though?!
----------------------------------------
Back to the servants.
They immediately stopped what they were doing and do a ninety degree bow, and said.
"Welcome home, Young lord!"
I could only cough and sent them a wryly smiles.
"Rise!" I said.
I immediately turn back and covered my face with my hands, as someone who really cares about his face, I am too embarrassed to faced them.
If it's the former me, before I go to another world. I could easily greet them with ease, as I'm quite a joker, and made what the maid just shouted as a joke. Such as.
"Yo, this is your lord, thee shall obey me!"
" All of you shall obey me till the day you died! Gahahahaha" accompanied with an evil laugh.
And many other thing I could done to ease the situation. 'Or maybe I'll just creep them out even more!'
The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
But now, with me being alone for a year and only talk to something that's part of me: Kuro and Shiro, as I bought them and they became the very part of my soul and don't forgot that greedy system!
And also a month of planning behind the scenes.
It pretty much concluded, that I, almost forgot how to converse normally.
What? Do you think conversate with that battle maniac Shiro is good enough?
Of course not! It's already lucky enough for me to hold a normal conversation for a full five minutes before he challenged me into a duel!
As for that black robed guy Kuro?
It's lucky enough for me to hold a serious conversation for a minute before he fully immersed himself into reading the comics, again!
But now! I need to act as a shy teenage, and fortunately I could act like one , it''s easier this way, even though I need to conversate, I won't conversate much.
Even a mute man could conversate! Either with symbols, or even write it on paper! So why shouldn't I?
Acting shy didn't meant I don't need to conversate!
----------------------------------------
After we went to the kitchen, we then went to the garden.
"Attention! You!, yes you!. All of you, this is the Young Lord of this Xue family, please give your....."
All the places that have some servants in it, be it outside or inside, she always shouted like that.
I even wondering slightly.
'Are you perhaps a Robot?'
The way she talks, the way she shouted, the way she walks, all of it are in such a rythm.
Even the tone she shouts are always the same.
----------------------------------------
Back to the present situation.
"And this is your little sister, Xia Wenshu quarter, please be quiet, as she is always cultivating and need some focus." the maid said with a shushing motion with her right hand.
'It's you who should be quiet!' I complained in my mind.
But when I heard the last sentence, I froze, this family is a family of cultivator! Maybe I could learnt something from this family, for free!
For example, the way you meditate, the way to comprehend some skill, the way to.....
My thoughts were broken when the maid opened the door for me.
Inside, there were a girl and someone standing beside her, seems to be her guard.
The girl had a black hair with wavy pattern, phoenix like eyebrows, and a rosy lips that could match mine, her looks are perfect with her snow white robe.
She looks so much like me, is this what I'll become if I were born as a girl?
As for the guard, she have a short hair, common eyebrows, common face..... All in all she is too common.
But when I looked at the guards attire...
'Damn girl, you even have a personal maid that guard you!'
----------------------------------------
Feeling someone opening the door, the guard maid opened her eyes and glanced at the door, after seeing the maid that brought me here and use an inspecting gaze at me, she then closed her eyes again.
Even though I wanted to inspect the maid before me and check the cultivation prowess of my little sister, I just can't get myself to do so, as I felt the chill emanating from the guard maid.
And if I used my qi to inspect them, with my lacked control. It will be my fortune if I only got questioned, worse, they'll see me as an impostor and hunt me till the end of the world..
I knew that, the way I lived in this so called 'home' would be like walking on a thin ice, one wrong step and I'll be hunted down.
That's why I need to be careful.
----------------------------------------
Feeling that I shouldn't be here, I quietly get out the door while dragging the noisy maid.
Feeling that I've already seen all the places in this compound, I asked her.
"Now that I've already look all around the house, and my feets felt a bit sore, I think it's better if I have some rest" I said with a smile.
"En, please have a good rest young...." Just before she finished her sentence, I cut her off.
" Oh right, what should we do about my clothes, the clothes in the closet are just too tight, and I feel the needs to buy some clothes."
As a shopaholic, how come I didn't go to a mall when I have enough money to bought the thing that I want! For example the newest gaming devices to play some games! games from the future! I'm so excited that I couldn't help myself to grin.
Of course all of this is just to hide myself even more.
Just like a wolf in sheep clothing, stalking for his prey.
----------------------------------------
The maid just blinked her eyes, and nodded her head.
"I'll report it to madam Xia. Please wait for the answer young lord." She said with a bow.
