Western Fantasy: I can write unlimited entries

Diana, 26 years old, 1.73 meters tall, joined the Baronial Palace as a maid at the age of 14. She worked in the palace for the same period as Joyce, which was also 12 years.

Regarding Diana’s family background, it is very tragic. In Egbert’s information, it is written that: Diana was born into a wealthy merchant family in the town of Cote, and her family ran a food business; Diana was the eldest daughter, and she had a younger brother 4 years older. age.

When Diana was 14 years old, her family was robbed. Only she escaped by hiding in the kitchen, but the rest of the family did not survive.

This tragedy caused a great sensation in the territory at that time. The former lord personally ordered the capture of the prisoner, but there were no clues.

The former lord saw that Diana was lonely and literate, so he kept her as a maid in the baronial palace.

The above is the basic information about Diana.

Ron read the page again and slowly put it down. If he remembered correctly, this maid named Diana was the only one among all the maids besides Irene who had her own entry.

Its entry is white and its name is [Self-discipline]

[Self-discipline (white): Improve concentration and improve self-ability in all aspects under self-discipline. The stronger the constraint, the greater the improvement. 】

——

This is the entry that Diana carries with her. Irene once mentioned that this person is very strict, whether at work or in daily life.

"Tell me your reasons." Ron didn't make up his mind immediately and asked Joyce to see what kind of explanation she could give.

Joyce said smoothly as if she had an idea: "Sister Diana is serious and responsible. In the past, when Ms. Elva was out, it was sister Diana who helped arrange affairs. Even if there were any mistakes, sister Diana would take care of them." Take remedial measures.”

Joyce closed her mouth after saying that. Seeing that Ron didn't make a statement, she frowned slightly, her thoughts swirling in her mind, and then said: "The most important thing is that Sister Diana is trusted by everyone and will obey her arrangements. "

Hearing this, Ron raised his eyebrows, and it seemed that Joyce also saw the key.

Perhaps, from Eggbert's point of view, this was just a small matter of choosing the head maid.

Ron's status as a nobleman is there. It is an honor for the other party to be the head maid, and they should be grateful to accept it.

But he didn't think so. After dealing with government affairs for so many years, Ron came to the conclusion that any position should be filled by people who are suitable for it.

Breaking the rules and letting Joyce enter the study to read has already caused the maids to have objections to her. If she follows Eileen's idea and lets Joyce serve as the head maid, there will probably be trouble.

Common people have a deep-rooted fear of nobles, but no matter how powerful they are, they cannot completely control people's hearts.

Even in the Arnold territory, there are some people who hate Ron, just because he is a noble and the owner of this land. There is no reason for it, and this is something he cannot avoid.

Egbert has done a good job, but he underestimated people's hearts and should not have put Joyce's information on the candidate list.

Ron took a serious look at Joyce, took out the piece of paper with Diana's information and put it aside, and said: "Have all the maids in the mansion wait in the lobby tomorrow morning. I have something to announce."

Joyce saw Ron's actions and replied with a sigh of relief: "Yes, Lord."

Afterwards, Ron and Eileen left the study, and Joyce stayed here to continue reading.

She was a little absent-minded at the moment, and she always felt that what the lord just said to her had deep meaning, like a temptation, or a test.

Joyce took one book from the shelf and put it back again, each one not reading more than a page or two before switching to the next one.

"Huh?"

Joyce pulled out a heavier book from the corner of the bookshelf, opened the cover and found a wooden box inside. The cover was just a disguise for the wooden box. When she was organizing the bookshelf, she didn't even notice that the wooden box had no lock. It was obvious that someone had hidden it in the study.

The study is the lord's private room, and perhaps the only one who can hide things here is the former baron.

Joyce did not dare to open it privately. When he wanted to put it back, he was worried that the box contained something important, so he picked up the wooden box and walked out of the study.

——

Ron left the study, and Eileen followed him glumly. Because Ron had just punished her not to eat his dessert for a month. Not only that, he also canceled Erin's vacation.

"Do you know you were wrong?" Ron said calmly.

These punishments were just for Erin's gaffe in the study just now. How could she interfere with the head maid's choice? As Ron's personal maid, this was unqualified.

Punishing her not to eat dessert may not seem painful to outsiders, but Ron was also afraid that if the punishment was too severe, Eileen would change her personality and he would lose his fun.

Depriving her of delicious food was a suitable punishment for Irene.

"Master, I know I was wrong." Irene lowered her head in frustration, not daring to speak.

Seeing her sluggish state, Ron asked, "Eileen, do you really dislike Diana that much?"

"It's not that I don't like it, it's just that Sister Diana is too strict. I may never be able to make snacks by myself again." Irene's eyes moistened as she thought about the sadness.

Ron was confused, "Is there any relationship between her being the head maid and you making snacks?"

Ron also tasted the snacks made by Eileen. The taste can only be said to be pretty good, but not to say how delicious it is.

Maybe it's due to lack of experience, but it's pretty good for her to be able to do this at her age.

"Sister Diana is strict with herself. She can make a list of what time to get up, what time to finish work and eat, and what time to wash up and go to bed."

"My job in the mansion does not allow me to enter the kitchen. I usually rely on the help of the head chef. If Sister Diana finds out."

Ron could even see a trace of fear in Irene's eyes, and he couldn't help but said: "Then her skin must be very good, right?"

Erin: "???"

"It's okay, you make your snacks, and then just say I want to eat." Ron didn't make it too difficult for Eileen. This child chose to run away even when her own family arranged a marriage, so she couldn't stand this kind of oppression.

Erin was not happy for a few seconds when Ron said again: "Wait until the one month punishment is over."

"Yes, Master."

——

The next morning.

In the hall of the Baron Mansion, Ron announced Diana as the head maid in front of all the maids.

"Thank you Lord, I will do my duty and not let you down." Diana said meticulously.

She has chestnut hair, a beautiful oval face, long eyelashes, and a serious look in her clear eyes, which makes people dare not make any jokes when talking to her.

This is a complete beauty.

"Well, I'll leave the housekeeping of the mansion to you. You'll pick up new clothes later, as well as a room dedicated to the head maid. You can choose on your own." Ron said a few words briefly before leaving with Eileen.

Ron visited Egbert in his room and told him about it. Egbert didn't react much. He just smiled and nodded and said he understood. He didn't care who held the position of head maid, as long as he could share the worries of the lord, it was good.

"You have a good rest. It's time for me to get busy. I still have a bunch of paperwork that I need to deal with."

After not chatting for long, Ron left and headed to the study.

The amount of government affairs to be handled today was several times that of before, and Ron was getting more and more confused. In the process of reviewing documents, Ron discovered that among the three major villages and towns in Arnold Territory, if you want to pass a simple theft case upwards, it requires a very cumbersome process.

At the beginning, the victim needs to report the situation to the guard. After the guard confirms the situation, he will report it to the upper level. If it can be solved, then it will be fine. If it cannot be solved, he will continue to report to the upper level until the mayor writes a document and submits it to the Baron Palace.

The three villages and towns are different, so there are three processes, which are very complicated.

"With such a small population, it is still divided into three villages and towns. Maybe it should be merged into a town instead of a village?"

Ron's mind suddenly flashed with the idea of ​​merging the town into a unified management, streamlining various staff, and removing those complicated reporting processes.

In this way, it will be easier for the Baronial Palace to implement some policies.

"It's too early to think about these things now. We have to eat one bite at a time. The potatoes haven't grown yet, and the people in the lord can't fill their stomachs. The impression of the lord is still the same. I'm afraid there will be backlash if I take a tough approach. This matter will wait until I hear from the king." Let’s talk about it all when we come back.”

Ron dismissed the thoughts in his mind and carefully reviewed the paperwork. Not long after, there was a knock on the study door, Eileen opened the door, and Joyce walked in.

"Sister Joyce has a day off today?" Irene beamed with joy.

"Well, Sister Diana has arranged for someone to clean the mansion. I'll read a book if I have nothing to do." Joyce said, looking at Ron behind the desk with his peripheral vision.

Last night, she handed the wooden box to Ron, but she didn't expect that it contained a big secret of the Baron family. When Joyce was scared and didn't know what to do, Ron acted like a normal person and told her to keep quiet and go back to sleep.

As for what happened to the wooden box in the end, Joyce didn't know.

"Joyce."

Hearing Ron suddenly call her name, Joyce trembled and said, "Yes, Lord."

"Don't be nervous, I need your help with something." Ron smiled. He naturally knew the reason for the other person's nervousness. It might be a big deal to outsiders, but Ron didn't think so.

Later, Ron handed Joyce a document and explained: "This is about the issue of businesses in the territory closing one after another. You can deal with it and see if there is any way to solve the problem."

"But my lord, I am."

Ron didn't give her a chance to refuse, "Let me check it after you've written it."

As the saying goes, it takes a thousand days to raise an army, but it takes only a moment to deploy it. It’s time for Joyce to come into her own!

In desperation, Joyce went aside to think about countermeasures.

Time passes unconsciously.

Ron and Joyce have something to do so they don't get bored. Eileen was in a daze all morning. Normally she could try some desserts to relieve her fatigue, but after being punished, she was really not allowed to do anything.

"Alas~"

Seeing Irene's pitiful look, Ron sighed and said, "Let's do this. I'll give you a task. If you complete it, your punishment will be shortened by half a month."

Hearing this, Irene was overjoyed and asked quickly: "Master, no matter what the task is, I will definitely complete it!"

"Well, don't you like to make snacks? I saw a food called 'pudding' in the book. It is very delicious. I will tell you how to make it. If you make it and it tastes good, you are done."

The raw materials for making pudding are not difficult to find, but the main thing is the production method. Ron handed over the matter to Eileen and gave her a week's deadline.

After Irene left with the formula given by Ron, Joyce came to the table and said respectfully: "Lord, this is the solution I have thought about. Please take a look at it."

Ron took the document she wrote, and there was a lot written on it.

Joyce considered several possibilities for businesses to close and proposed corresponding solutions to these possibilities, each of which was justified.

"How did you come up with this?" Ron asked curiously.

Joyce replied: "There are similar things in the books I have read, and combined with my own ideas, I have these."

"It seems you read a lot."

Ron nodded lightly and circled one of the plans with a pen, "Just write this one down."

Joyce was puzzled and couldn't help but ask: "How did you know, Lord, that this is the case?"

Ron pointed to the pile of documents next to him, "These documents describe what happened in the territory."

"There are good things and bad things. They do not exist alone. Every thing that happens will inevitably affect another thing. If you find the connection points, it is not difficult to deduce the whole story."

Ron said with a smile, and Joyce suddenly realized that she was not stupid and could naturally understand that Ron was capable of handling these documents. He was just testing her just now.

But what is the point of such a test? Let her handle the territory's government affairs in the future? Joyce didn't dare think about it.

In Ron's opinion, Joyce's processing ability was quite satisfactory and did not exceed his expectations. This may be related to her lack of entries.

From Ron's perspective, the entry is a person's talent.

Joyce is good in all aspects, but there is no one that stands out. This does not prevent Ron from training her, as average ability is also a specialty.

In the next period of time, Ron will give Joyce some government affairs and let her solve them independently.

This made Joyce not happy, but scared.

At night, lying in bed, Joyce felt uneasy. She felt that her premonition would come true.

In Joyce's impression, Lord Ron is a relatively taciturn person. He usually stays in his room and rarely communicates with outsiders. The only people who can talk are Eileen and Mr. Egbert beside him. .

But since Ron inherited the title and took charge of the territory, Joyce has faintly discovered the hidden edge in him.

When they were dealing with territorial government affairs together during this period, Ron's bottomless wisdom made Joyce unable to compare, and she felt deeply the gap between herself and Ron.

While Joyce was distressed, Irene jumped onto the bed next to her, looking very happy.

Joyce couldn't help but sigh, if only she could be as carefree as Irene.

"Sister Joyce, why are you sighing? I secretly tell you good news. The task assigned to me by the young master is almost completed!" Irene leaned her head over and whispered.

Joyce smiled when he heard this.

"The young master said that the pudding is very delicious, but I don't know if it is true or not." Joyce fell asleep in a daze during Eileen's illogical chat.

——

After several days of training, Egbert's physical condition finally improved. Early in the morning, he was standing in front of the mirror to tidy up his appearance. From today on, he would officially return to his position as butler.

After looking at it, Egbert was satisfied that the butler uniform suited him.

Boom, boom, boom.

At this moment, there was a quick knock on the door.

Egbert frowned, turned around and opened the door. His son Blake broke in and said in a flustered and anxious manner: "Father, the lord's illegitimate son is here!"

"Asshole! The Lord is only 15 years old this year, where did he get an illegitimate child?" Egbert immediately scolded him.

"I'm the one who's nervous. He must be the illegitimate son of the previous lord!" Black corrected.

Hearing this, Egbert frowned and said, "Take me to have a look."
