Don't confiscate my citizenship
Chapter 674 Lanqi’s price/performance ratio is too high
Two days later.
Count Baptiste's Palace.
In the capital of Paris, the August noon sun slightly distorted the air on the stone-paved streets, and a vehicle slowly stopped in front of this mansion located in a prosperous area.
This is a mansion passed down from generation to generation by the Baptiste family. The morning glory iron gate in front of it has been coated with a light layer of rust over time. The tall poplar trees on both sides of the gate guard the solemnity and tranquility of this garden like guards. .
A blond girl got out of the car.
She was wearing a thin summer dress with no sleeves, forming a perfect line from her shoulders to her neatly manicured nails.
The loose design looks very airy and light.
Presumably due to her daily exercise, her slightly exposed figure is ideal.
She hasn't been home for a month.
Her name is Christina, and she is the eldest daughter in the family. In addition to a brother who is five years older than her, she also has a younger sister and cousins who also live with them.
It can be said that Count Baptiste's Palace is a quite large family.
Christina loved her family.
Last month, she went to the Aloran Kingdom in the east to study in the first grade of Aloran Royal Academy.
It was a public holiday, so she came back.
Public holidays in the Kingdom of Aloran are generally one week long. Counting the previous weekend, there are nine days of holidays in total.
If he skips two more days of classes, he can have an eleven-day long vacation, which will give him plenty of time to return to Posen Kingdom.
Although the reputation of Count Baptiste's family in the local area has not been very good, they enjoy endless prosperity and wealth relying on their ancestors' achievements and inheritance.
But her family has always been very kind to her.
He has pampered her since childhood.
This also led to her being known locally as the villainous daughter Christina Baptiste.
As she grew older and interacted with peers, Christina gradually realized that some of her family's behaviors and habits were stupid.
For this reason, she chose to study abroad in the Kingdom of Aloran.
She was reborn in the new environment.
Everyone no longer has any prejudice against her. On the contrary, it is the manners she has developed since childhood that make everyone think she is a real fair lady.
"It's so beautiful."
The air that filled Parrieux at noon in summer caressed Christina's face for the first time in a long time.
This month's campus life made her very comfortable.
Of course, I miss Huadu Parrieux every moment.
At the first opportunity, Christina came back.
She believed that her family must still be as lovely as ever.
Christina proudly raised the back of her hand and gently waved her long blond hair.
Sure enough, everything is human-made.
As long as she works hard, she can definitely become a countess with excellent reputation.
One day she will be able to get rid of her bad reputation as a villainous daughter.
"By the way, it seems that Senior Sister Kallen is also coming to Posen Kingdom to take the platinum level card maker exam. I wonder if I will have a chance to meet her."
Christina said to herself while carrying her small suitcase.
In their Aloran Royal Academy, the third-year gold-level card maker is quite popular. She is sought after and loved by many people. She is also the little angel type woman Christina aspires to be.
Christina had heard a lot about the deeds of her seniors soon after she entered school.
certainly.
There was also last year’s academic visit to Icerita where only half of the people came back.
It is said that the Icerite Academy student union is a bunch of unimaginable beasts, capable of anything.
The dean of Ikerite Sage Academy is also a scandal-ridden person. His scandals are constantly going back and forth, and there are more and more outrageous news.
After much deliberation, Christina did not choose to study abroad in the turbulent Icerite Academy, but instead chose the Aloran Royal Academy with a relatively stable reputation.
In a short time, the driver who brought her back had already moved the larger suitcase down, and the familiar maids greeted her and took over her luggage.
"Miss, the master and his wife are both at home. It is lunch time now. They are not sure what time you will arrive and they are not waiting for you. However, if you go directly to the restaurant now, you should be able to eat directly."
said the maid.
"No problem. By the way, are there any changes in Yue's house this month?"
Christina nodded.
Today is Saturday, and her family is most likely at home.
"Hardly. If I must say it, there is a new butler."
"good."
Christina and the maid were chatting and laughing, and walked into the courtyard, where a neat row of flowers came into view.
From passionate red roses to fresh blue wind chimes, each one swayed in the summer wind. The paths were separated by carefully trimmed hedges, making every step they took feel like they were in a fairy tale world.
In the mansion in the distance, flowers carved from stone bloom on the intricately carved window frames and balcony railings. Every detail is a testament to the craftsman's exquisite skills and the owner's wealth and style.
Looking at her family's mansion in the distance, Christina's heart was filled with warmth and excitement.
Although the life of studying abroad in the Kingdom of Aloran is fulfilling, every time I think of this home, I can't suppress the sense of belonging that surges up in my heart.
Soon she returned to Earl Baptiste's palace.
Passing through a series of corridors and doorways, she walked directly into the large dining room on the first floor of the mansion.
This is a room of hundreds of square meters filled with the light fragrance of classical furniture. The tall windows bring soft natural light, which reflects on the tablecloths and silverware. A long dining table is placed in the center, and the table is filled with Poisson-style delicacies, fine light and shadow dancing on the tableware, and the crisp sound of clinking porcelain add a bit of vitality to the quiet afternoon.
"I'm back."
Christina smiled and waved to the family members in the living room.
The family is sitting around the dining table, with my father sitting at the head, my mother, brother and younger sister sitting on one side, and my uncle and cousins sitting on the other side.
"..."
After two seconds, the restaurant was still so quiet. The family members at the long table just glanced at her, smiled at her, and then continued to eat.
Not all the staff gave her a warm welcome as she expected.
"?"
Christina didn't know if there was something wrong with the way she entered.
"Christina, sit down."
Her father, Count Baptiste, gave her simple instructions.
"okay."
Christina was stunned for a moment, then came to her senses, pulled out the seat next to her younger sister and sat down.
As soon as she sat down, the maid who received the instructions brought her tableware.
Everything seems normal.
The family members all maintained the dignified etiquette at the table. No one got up, but calmly welcomed her return, as if they were imitating some kind of elegance.
This unexpected calm made Christina suspicious, and she couldn't help but wonder if she had missed a new family rule.
"By the way, who is this?"
Christina's eyes inadvertently swept to the side of the restaurant and asked her father at the main seat.
She noticed the men in butler uniforms she had never seen before, standing by the wall of the restaurant, as if waiting for their orders and ready to serve them at any time.
He was a handsome and gentle young man with brown hair, and his emerald green eyes exuded an aura that made people approachable.
"Mr. Rocky McCarthy, our new butler."
Count Baptiste replied briefly.
"..."
Christina felt that not only her father, but also other members of the family would subconsciously glance at Butler Lodge when they were preparing to speak or make decisions, as if they were worried about offending him.
This butler's status in the family far exceeds that of ordinary servants, and he can even influence the behavior of family members.
Although Christina was full of questions, she still remained polite at the dinner table, carefully observing the family and things around her, trying to find answers from these details.
The housekeeper seemed to be aware of her curiosity about him, and occasionally cast a friendly glance.
Lunch progressed slowly in this delicate atmosphere.
Christina couldn't tell what was wrong.
But my heart is always a little bit hairy.
Just as she was trying to adapt to the too quiet atmosphere of the table.
A small accident suddenly broke this thin layer of calm.
Bang.
Christina's uncle, a gentleman she considered elegant and unhurried, inadvertently knocked over the glass of water in front of him.
It seemed that because of the look between her and the housekeeper, the housekeeper's eyes passed through her uncle's side several times, and his uncle also became nervous.
Clear water quickly spread across the table.
Everyone in the family cast their eyes on him.
Including Christina.
It wasn't anything, but she didn't expect her uncle to make such a mistake.
What she didn't expect was.
The uncle's face instantly turned pale.
In his panic, he stood up from the chair, almost as an instinctive reaction, bowed his head deeply to the brown-haired and green-eyed butler, and apologized repeatedly with a trembling voice:
"I'm very sorry. Please forgive my carelessness."
His attitude was not like an apology to a servant, but more like a sincere fear when facing an elder with extremely high authority.
Christina's eyes widened, and the air in the entire restaurant seemed to freeze.
She looked at the other family members in shock.
But.
No one in her family said anything, their expressions were complicated.
"Mr. Rocky, I'm really sorry!"
The uncle quickly knelt on the ground and tremblingly confessed to Butler Lodge.
"it does not matter."
The butler just smiled gently, knelt down and helped his uncle up, quickly cleared the table, put a napkin on him and asked him to continue eating.
"have a good meal."
Although his voice was not loud, it conveyed an irresistible majesty that made the uncle seem to want to obey his instructions involuntarily.
Then, I saw a happy smile on my uncle's face, and he sat back in his seat and began to eat, just like a child encouraged by the teacher.
The butler with brown hair and green eyes just retreated to the wall again.
"...?!!"
At this moment, Christina felt unprecedented panic and confusion.
It was obviously noon in summer, but she felt chilled all over, and her back tensed subconsciously.
what on earth is it?
The entire dining room was filled with a strange atmosphere, as if it was not the home she was familiar with, but some evil presence had come, polluting this warm home, turning Count Baptiste's house into the evil god's dinner plate.
Nothing seemed right, but the rest of the family didn't think there was anything wrong with the uncle and the housekeeper, and they were still enjoying their lunch happily.
The restaurant was so quiet that Christina couldn't sit still.
At best, her family seems to have been deeply purified, gained true peace, and found faith. At worst, it seems that their mental state has completely changed!
She even suspected that all of her family had become cultists!
When Christina looked towards the wall again.
The butler with brown hair and green eyes stood back to his original position, waiting for everyone's orders. He was like a puppet master behind the curtain, silently smiling as he watched his dolls stage a family dinner drama.
Christina didn't dare to say anything.
I just suppressed the timidity in my heart, tried to think on the bright side, and accepted the facts.
At least this is the center of Huadu Parrieux.
If someone openly entered their count's house to commit murder, I'm afraid the entire Huadu security would be compromised.
The clock on the wall read just before one o'clock in the afternoon.
Count Baptiste's family had finished lunch.
As usual, everyone gradually left the dining room and went about their own business.
The family members dispersed at this moment, making Christina feel like normal again, and her heartbeat slowed down.
The butler named Rocky also started his work, directing the afternoon work of the servants in the house.
Although Christina feels that the danger is not that great anymore.
But she always felt that something was wrong with this home.
The weird feeling I had at lunch just now is not without problems at all! !
Just thinking about those emerald green eyes that were a bit eerie gave her goosebumps.
On the first floor of the mansion, Christina walked as if nothing had happened, glancing at her father and mother who were still sitting in the dining room.
They were chatting after dinner with Lodge Butler.
Christina couldn't hear what exactly they were talking about.
However, his father would smile with joy at Butler Lodge, as if he had found a soulmate, and his mother's cheeks would turn slightly red because of his compliments.
After a while, Butler Rocky walked out of the dining room.
Her brother Kyle found a housekeeper again.
"Mr. Lodge, do you have time this afternoon?"
"certainly."
"Then I'll make an appointment with you."
"No problem, let me see the work schedule."
Christina watched in disbelief as the housekeeper and her brother walked past and headed to the second floor.
Even his brother, who had always been a playboy, became like a gentleman, treating him respectfully and calling him teacher.
The elder brother followed the housekeeper like a student and a professor, chatting about academic topics as they walked.
She thought to herself that she hadn't been back for just a month!
Then, the younger sister and her cousins gathered around Rocky again, clamoring for him to play with them.
Rocky started coaxing everyone again.
far away.
"How many days has Mr. Rocky McCarthy been at work?"
Christina quickly waved to call the maid in the living room, looked at the back of the housekeeper in the distance and asked.
"Three days."
The green-haired demon maid bowed slightly and responded,
"Two and a half days to be precise? Mr. Lodge was brought back by Master Kyle at noon the day before yesterday."
The serving demon maid looked at the clock and added.
""
Christina's scalp felt numb as if she had seen an evil god.
It happened that at this time, Butler Rocky turned around.
It seemed that all this was seen by Butler Rocky, as there seemed to be eyes on his back.
The butler's gaze came over and met Christina's eyes.
Christina quickly lowered her head to hide her trembling eyes.
"Master Kyle, please excuse me."
Butler Lodge and the blond young earl next to him apologized, and at the same time touched the heads of his younger brothers and sisters.
"No problem, go ahead."
Master Kyle patted Butler Lodge's arm casually.
So the housekeeper walked towards Christina in the living room.
"Miss Christina, are you okay?"
Butler Rocky walked down the wide steps on the second floor and came to the living room to ask Christina and the maid.
"fine."
Christina looked at the housekeeper warily and said.
She subconsciously constructed magic that could counter mental attacks in advance.
"Miss Christina, first of all, I am not a spiritual mage."
Butler Rocky smiled helplessly,
"If you think I am suspected of using magic in my house, you can take your family members for a checkup. I will not stop you."
he said slightly sadly.
"..."
Christina was slightly embarrassed when she was discovered to have magic in her body.
After all, she had gone to school and had some understanding of spiritual magic.
If you want to achieve true mental control, it is a million times more difficult than simply controlling the body with your mind.
Moreover, this kind of mind-controlling magic is not only of extremely high rank and grade, but also has strict prerequisites. If it is activated in the residential area of Huadu Parrieux, it will definitely trigger a surveillance barrier reaction.
Her family also has a protective barrier passed down from her ancestors.
It's really not very possible.
"Then Miss Christina, if you have any instructions, just come to me at any time. Of course, my working hours are every Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and from 1 to 2 noon. Break time."
The butler said politely, bidding farewell to Christina and the maid.
For a long time, Christina was still standing in the living room.
"Go and do your work."
Christina said to the maid, then frowned slightly and walked in the corridor on the first floor of the Earl's Mansion while thinking.
No matter how she thought about it, it felt wrong.
It's like the family is being manipulated.
Father and mother were okay, they just showed a strange affection for Rocky.
My brother and uncle are the ones most at fault.
If it’s not spiritual magic, then isn’t it a medicine man?
Suppose you use a special potion to drug your family members during three meals. It may be possible to induce hallucinations and achieve short-term control!
In this way, it has nothing to do with rank, and it will not trigger magic detection reactions.
The more Christina thought about it, the more reasonable it became.
Her pace also quickened and she walked towards the kitchen.
After all, the demon servants at home didn't look abnormal, but her family members had changed!
The servants did not eat the main meals on their table.
And precious drugs that can affect the will cannot be wasted in large quantities.
Furthermore, the demon maid in the family even has a sixth-level expert. If you want to control such a high-level person, the difficulty has increased countless times.
"Hey, miss?"
The cooking demon maid in the kitchen noticed Christina's arrival and saluted her.
But before Christina could give her instructions, the cooking maid saw Christina's gesture of silence.
"Go to the door and watch, don't let anyone else in."
Christina walked into the kitchen and began to check, leaving the cooking demon maid to guard the door.
She rummaged nervously, sometimes looking in the upper cabinets, sometimes squatting down to look in the lower drawers.
Once she finds the evidence, she will report the housekeeper!
But she didn't notice.
She opened the cupboard in a hurry, and half of the storage boxes were hanging outside without being pushed in.
Shake and shake.
Just when Christina noticed the suddenly larger shadow on the ground, she realized something was wrong and felt a chill on her neck.
"!"
She closed her eyes.
But there was no severe pain like he had imagined when his head was hit.
When she opened her eyes again.
I saw a figure standing aside, looking at her with concern.
"Miss, it's very dangerous."
Butler Rocky appeared in the kitchen at some point and raised his hand to hold down the storage box that was about to fall.
"!"
Christina quickly stood up, took a few steps back, and then trotted to the cooking maid's side, holding her arm.
"Butler, why are you here?"
Christina asked the brown-haired and green-eyed butler with lingering fear.
"I'm... a little hungry and want to get some afternoon snacks. The master has given me permission."
Butler Rocky opened his eyes and answered with a slight embarrassment.
"hungry?"
Christina looked at the housekeeper's unwillingness to lie, as if she was being threatened by someone to come get some snacks.
The servant's lunch time has just passed, so why is he hungry? Does he have to eat six times a day?
Of course, Christina quickly realized that she couldn't just believe this guy's slander.
"Replace all the ingredients at home. I don't like eating these stale things."
Christina asked the cooking demon maid.
"But...Miss..."
The cooking demon maid was in a bit of a dilemma.
"I felt that the ingredients were not very fresh today, so I came to take a look."
Christina looked at the cooking maid's undecided look and didn't know how to convince her.
"Just do as she says."
Lan Qi glanced sideways at the demon maid and ordered.
"yes!"
The demon maid responded decisively, bowed respectfully and stepped back.
"...?"
Christina looked at the housekeeper.
Why?
Which one of us is the eldest lady of the earl family?
Now Christina finally realizes.
It seems like it's not just her family.
Everyone in this family is extremely convinced by this new Rocky butler!
After Butler Rocky got a large box of pastries wrapped in tin foil from the freezer, he started walking back with the carton in his arms.
"What kind of magic did you use to make everyone in this family obey you?"
Christina followed out of the kitchen unconvinced and questioned behind the housekeeper.
"With all your heart."
Lanci replied.
"Are you kidding me?"
If Christina hadn't been slightly "rescued" by the housekeeper just now, she might be angry now.
She still felt that this man was very strange and dangerous.
"Someone asked me to teach your brother a lesson, so I came to teach him. As you can see, he has gradually turned into a new and motivated young man."
Lanci added calmly.
"..."
Christina became speechless.
This is totally black talk.
She knew that Brother Kyle was easy to attract hatred, and it was not surprising to offend others.
But Christina felt that the person who asked Rocky to teach his brother a lesson should mean to teach his brother a lesson, not to actually teach him a lesson.
Christina couldn't tell whether this Rocky was a good guy or a bad guy for a while.
The two of them walked all the way to the room next to the tool room at the end of the first floor without realizing it.
"Okay, miss, please stop."
Butler Lodge stood inside the door of the butler's lounge, looked at her feet, and signaled Miss Christina not to cross the threshold.
Christina naturally stopped.
Before she could say anything, Butler Rocky closed the door with a smile.
The door sign says his lunch break.
Even if she paused for a moment, she couldn't hear the sound in the room.
There wasn't even a sound of eating cake.
The other party obviously added a soundproof barrier in the room.
"Who is..."
Christina could only look back angrily.
It seems that this housekeeper has not revealed any flaws so far.
…
A whole afternoon followed.
Christina was sitting on the sofa in the living room on the first floor of the mansion, pretending to read a book.
In fact, she was filled with uneasiness and had been focusing her peripheral vision on the figure of housekeeper Rocky at work.
As a result, the minute hand went round and round.
She didn't see anything unusual about this housekeeper at all.
Instead, he observed him and became more and more convinced of his work quality.
He controlled the other servants in an orderly manner, and at the same time he was working wholeheartedly, making the Earl's Mansion run perfectly like a machine with closely interlocked gears, and making other members of Count Baptiste's family happy. Everything they need is ready for them.
It can be said that no action is redundant.
If she had to rate his housekeeping business, she could only give it 100 points.
The kind of person who gets paid to do things well no matter what.
Before she knew it, she was lying on the sofa, reading a book and eating potato chips.
The potato chips on the table were brought by the maid, who seemed to have found her leisurely reading a book and thought she might want some snacks.
"etc."
Christina paused holding the potato chips.
If the maid brought it to you, wouldn't it be on the instructions of the butler?
She quickly threw half of the potato chips in her hand into the trash can, treating it as something ominous.
Just when Christina was full of fear.
She heard footsteps in the distance in the long corridor of the mansion's reception hall.
"Rocky, it's almost half past three in the afternoon."
Her brother Kyle came over, holding a textbook in his hand, and stood by the wall and said to Rocky remotely.
"Master, please wait a moment. After I help Madam choose an evening dress, I will go to give you a fashion design class."
Butler Rocky looked at his watch and responded to the blond young master Kyle.
"It's okay, I'll wait for you in the room!"
Kyle smiled heartily and waved to Butler Lodge.
Christina on the sofa in the distance was holding a book in one hand, full of doubts.
"..."
Christina probably understands why her brother wants to learn fashion design.
He just wanted to make some new clothes for his favorite demon maids.
Her brother had thought about this before, but Christina never expected that her brother would actually calm down and take the initiative to study!
The flower capital Parrieux is recognized as the fashion capital of the Southern Continent. The annual Poisson Fashion Week is one of the most eye-catching events in the fashion industry of the Southern Continent. It brings together many top fashion brands and designers and leads the Southern Continent’s fashion trends. fashion.
Fashion designers and pattern makers are both promising jobs.
Parrieux is also an important education and scientific research center in the eastern part of the southern continent, with many world-class higher education resources and research institutes, such as Poisson Polytechnic, Parrieux University of Design, etc.
Previously, the family hired a professional design teacher from Parrieux for my brother, but he was too lazy to study for two days.
Now he looks like he is thirsty for knowledge and wants to take the school exam again.
"Where did Brother Kyle invite him back from..."
She sat upright on the sofa and muttered to herself in great confusion.
Even the teachers at Aloran Royal Academy don't have this guy's extremely elegant demeanor in his words and deeds.
I don’t know how long it took, but Christina was lying on the sofa, unable to sleep for a long time.
My mind is filled with questions and worries.
The afternoon sun in the courtyard of Count Baptiste's residence gradually turned into a slightly deeper golden orange, accompanied by a wisp of fragrance of flowers, which reflected into the reception hall on the first floor of the mansion, announcing the flower capital Parrieux. The arrival of sunset.
Christina's cheeks were gradually covered by the color of the sunset.
Just then, she noticed a figure walking through the living room.
"housekeeper."
Christina stopped the housekeeper who was carrying a suitcase and seemed to be about to leave.
"Miss Christina, what's the matter?"
Butler Rocky stopped.
"What exactly did you do to my family?"
Christina sat up straight, stood up and walked over, deciding to talk to the butler straight to the point.
No matter what the other party's intentions are, whether they are kind-hearted or malicious towards their family.
He was tough and she couldn't resist him. Just as her other family members had been impressed by this Lodge housekeeper, her resistance was probably just a moth to the flame.
If she could negotiate, she would definitely have to find a way to negotiate.
"I'm just trying my best to be a steward."
Butler Lodge replied.
"No, you're lying to me, you definitely did something to them, like, like brainwashed them!"
Christina clasped her hands tightly and said to him.
The way this guy played house with her was simply toying with her.
She has never seen any housekeeper who can make the employer addicted collectively.
"..."
The butler turned around, with a trace of regret in his eyes.
"Miss Christina, it turns out that's how you see me."
He breathed a sigh of relief.
"I have a question. Have you ever considered yourself before others? Is every will of yours determined by yourself?"
The housekeeper put his suitcase on the low table for the time being, preparing to have a good chat with her.
"You were born into the well-off family of Count Baptiste from an early age. You received a good education and were praised as a talented woman. You are also qualified to inherit the family business. You will eventually become a high-ranking figure in the capital of Paris. Your This should be roughly the road map of life.”
"Of course my will is determined by me. If not, I would not go to the Kingdom of Aloran to study abroad!"
Christina immediately retorted.
The other person's words made her very unhappy.
Although not offensive, she wholeheartedly disagreed with the statement.
"In my opinion, you should like the flower capital Parrieux very much, and also like Count Baptiste's family, otherwise you would not have come back during the vacation just one month after school started."
The butler analyzed it as if changing the topic again.
"Of course I do."
Christina admitted.
This was the only thing she would not deny. She was proud of being the eldest daughter of Count Baptiste's family.
"Do you think that you chose to study in the Kingdom of Aloran because you clearly like the capital of Paris and your own family because you want to escape the reputation of Count Baptiste's family? If the answer is yes, to some extent To put it bluntly, doesn’t it appear that you are very concerned about other people’s eyes and your own negative reputation, and that you were influenced by others and made this decision helplessly. Is this really your own will to obey your heart?”
The housekeeper asked Christina sincerely.
"..."
When Christina heard this, she fell into a brief silence.
Seeing that she didn't speak.
"On the contrary, the family members whom you dislike from the bottom of your heart all live a comfortable life. They have never been as easily influenced by others to make decisions as you are. Don't you find that they are more relaxed than you?"
Butler Rocky continued to ask, his voice still so gentle, making people feel drowsy in the sunset.
"Me, my situation is different from theirs, but I'm not dissing them, absolutely not."
Christina immediately shook her head vigorously and denied to Rocky.
"Then the question is, are your family members or you the ones being brainwashed? Is it possible that the one who is really abnormal is actually you?"
Butler Lodge stared at her and asked.
"The one who was brainwashed... was it my family... or me...?"
She held her head and staggered back two steps.
Are the scenes she has seen since childhood, the ideas instilled in her by her family, and the life guidelines she follows really correct?
"No, that's not right."
Christina felt a cold sweat on her back.
She shook her head sharply.
It was like pulling myself back from the cliff.
If she had truly believed him just now and started to question and break her previous cognitive patterns, this calm man would have immediately taken over her heart!
"There's definitely something wrong with you!"
Christina pointed at Ranch and shouted.
She seemed to understand a little bit. This guy did not use magic, but he had a strange kind of magic power.
It was as if a cult bishop had invaded their home with ulterior secrets.
She remembered what was said in the news that two or three cardinals of the Church of Resurrection were suspected to be in the Poisen Kingdom, and the more she thought about it, the more frightened she became.
However, none of the bishops of the Resurrection Church have brainwashing abilities, which is incredible.
"How can I terminate your contract!"
Christina questioned.
At least Butler Rocky seemed to be someone he could communicate with. Even if his brother really offended someone and brought this guy to his door, there should be a way to get him away.
"Your brother spent 50,000 pounds to hire me back. The contract is a five-year long-term contract. During the period, if one party proposes to break the contract, the liquidated damages will also be 50,000 pounds."
Lan Qi held his right elbow in slight distress and stroked his cheek.
"Do I have to pay you fifty thousand pounds if I fire you?!"
Christina asked in shock.
Although theoretically there is no possibility of this happening.
Who would take the initiative to fire a housekeeper who spent so much money to hire?
The treaty appears to have been merely to prevent the stewards from breaching the agreement themselves.
"Yes, after all, if I get fired, I will lose face. When I look for a job in the future, my employer will suspect that I have committed a major dereliction of duty after seeing my resume."
Lan Qi replied sheepishly.
He opened the suitcase and took out a contract and handed it to Christina to read.
"Five, fifty thousand pounds."
Christina flipped through the terms and quickly found this item, with the amount of liquidated damages clearly written on it.
She is still in school and has not saved that much pocket money at all, nor has she inherited part of the family business like her brother.
If you ask for money from your family members and say that it will be used to fire Rocky's housekeeper, all the family members who are obsessed with Rocky will definitely not agree!
The housekeeper took the contract back from the stunned Christina and put it back in the box.
"Then Miss Christina, my work is over for today."
Lan Qi put on his hat and stood sideways in the dusk, with a hint of smile in his emerald eyes.
"According to the treaty, any family member can occupy you for up to two additional hours per week. You can also participate in competitions as a servant of our family. Then you come with me to play in the competition!"
Christina summoned up the courage to shout.
She remembered every piece of information she had just seen on the employment contract to the best of her ability.
Even though she had never won any money in the Huadu Demon Competition, Rocky also seemed to have little fighting ability.
But she just wanted to make Rocky suffer a little, and then be overwhelmed and take the initiative to terminate the contract.
Even if this kind of thoughts might be guessed by Rocky, this was the only way she could do it.
"..."
"Okay, let's go then."
Lan Qi said with a smile.
As long as it is a contract, he will not violate it.
