Chapter 134 New Maid
Leaving the room with Daphnia and Delvi, they went to meet Sariya and Lyra to greet them and let them know about their arrival.
The news about Velian's arrival already spread around the mansion gaining the attention of different parties.
Velian wanted to meet Naomi and Elda as well since he missed them but he had to give priority to Sariya and Lyra.
"Sister, did anything interesting happen here while I was absent?" Walking along the hallway, Velian questioned his sister. She had no plans to meet Sariya as she was all sweaty and wanted a bath before doing anything but she followed Velian to talk with him without caring about her sweaty body.
"Interesting, nothing really I expected some bandit or monsters to attack but none of them acted against us," Her words were enough for Velian to understand how bored she was.
"It's reasonable because most of them are now afraid of us since we did the major clean up, I hope those bandits won't leak out information to others, even if they did nothing is useful now as we are going to war anyway," Remembering their attacks against bandits and monsters, Velian said with a little smile.
It took them several more minutes to reach Sariya's office, it had a large beautiful door showing how wealthy this mansion had become under her control.
All the maids and butlers working in the mansion were happy to serve their new lady, unlike their previous one since they got paid more than before and Sariya treated most of them as humans, unlike Viscount.
Delvi didn't come with them as she had no purpose to meet her so she went to clean herself.
"Sariya, can I come inside?" Velian asked while knocking on the door, he couldn't knock on it more than three times as it suddenly opened with someone hugging him rather tightly.
"Veli," Hearing a cute voice, Velian understood who this cute koala-like girl was as he patted her head with a gentle stroke.
"Elda, how are you? It's good to see you again," She didn't even notice Daphnia looking at her with a rather conflicted look.
"I'm okay Veli, Mel told me you are back so I came to meet mother since I knew you would come here," After a few minutes only Velian saw her different clothes.
"A maid outfit? What are you doing wearing that?" He was pleasantly surprised to see a noble daughter like her in such an outfit.
"She won't leave me alone telling me that she wants to be a good maid, so I asked our head maid to train her," Velian heard a familiar voice talking with a helpless smile looking at Elda who was puffing her chest with proud look.
"Sariya, Is it really ok for a noble daughter to do all this?" Velian didn't really care about it instead he was actually happy to see her in a maid outfit but he didn't think that Sariya would allow her to do that.
"I told her that she's a noble daughter so this isn't suitable for her but she kept crying so I had no other choice," Sariya had an exhausted look on her face while talking.
"Oh! It's unusual, especially from her," Hearing Velian's words Elda looked at her with a little smile.
"I can't really fight like Delvi or do city management like my mother, I would like to take care of you guys and help you from the sideline so you don't have to worry about these mundane things," Sariya looked at her with a complicated look but both Daphnia and Velian had a happy smile on their faces.
"What a good girl!" Even Elda couldn't avoid Daphnia's huge boobs as her face got sandwiched between her cleavage.
"Aunty! Hard to breathe," She struggled for a few minutes until Daphnia released her feeling Velian's touch.
"Welcome back both of you, I awaited your arrival to proceed with our plans," Sariya just gave a light-hearted smile welcoming us.
"How's the situation? I think the kingdom should be in a huge conflict right now with their food and soldiers being caught up with the empire army," Curious, Velian decided to question her.
He had a doppel in Rapidclaw kingdom who gave most of the information to him but according to its knowledge, most of the soldiers who went to protect borders were now in disorder with the fall of Malfoy's army.
Those who had families in the Malfoy kingdom surrendered to the empire as they didn't want anything happening to their families but some of them joined with the Rapidclaw kingdom to fight the empire.
"It's a mess right now both kingdom and cities around them, I heard some of them even started rebelling against the kingdom," She looked troubled by the fact that her family is supporting part of this.
"Sooner or later, we will have people coming seeking our protection, what do we do then?" Looking at her with a serious look Velian thought for a minute.
"Do we have enough space to shelter them?"
"We don't, if we accept this to this city it will cause a lot of problems," Sariya answered Velian's question.
"We need to finish our road project, I marked the closest route to the alliance from here so we will build the road along that line," Sariya quickly ordered Elda to bring a paper to note down his orders.
"At the same time, we will accept those refugees for now while getting ready to fight,"
Velian had a cruel smile on his face remembering something.
"Kingdom won't expect an attack from us neither empire, we will attack at the most crucial moment and destroy both armies giving them despair, we won't help kingdom or empire, we will be the one to emerge victorious in this mess," Sariya wasn't too sure about his idea, just like the normal self she was anxious about this whole thing.
Daphnia had a proud smile on her face listening to him, after knowing about his power she just wanted to catch up to him so she can protect her son.
She didn't really care about war or empire but her hatred remained without diminishing.
"And another thing, I heard adventurers are coming here under the orders of their guild master, they said they want to form a guild here," Hearing Sariya's words, Velian got confused.
"Now? Hmm~ what is that old man up to,"
"Whatever, but if he wants to play with me I will show him hell just as I promised," Thinking about it, Velian went inside the room to talk about Sariya's life and help her with a massage seeing her stiff shoulders.
