You call this a black hand?

As the steward of Chelsea Manor, the round-faced grandfather Fox is of course the direct descendant of the lady.

But no matter how direct he is, he is not as important as the face of the big family——

As a servant, he kissed his master's cousin, and made the scene known to everyone.

This is a taboo.

Although the old housekeeper was very innocent in this matter.

But innocence or innocence is not something that a master needs to consider.

The master will only consider letting the old man be the steward of the manor, so what will the servants think of when they see him?

What do foreign guests think of when they see him?

Think of this old man who works hard and treats others with courtesy?

This is possible.

But more often than not, they will only focus on certain gossip events, and then look at the old man strangely.

The effect is comparable to that of Melen before pouring dirty water on the old widow.

This is human nature and cannot be avoided at all.

Mellen figured this out easily.

Then he understood that the old housekeeper had come to ask for mercy from his apprentice.

He hesitated about this.

Mellen had a good impression of the butler named Fox.

Because if the housekeeper hadn't stopped him, he wouldn't have gone to see the teacher.

Without a teacher, you may not be able to enter the wizarding world so smoothly.

At least he won't get the Sun Knight Breathing Technique that has benefited him so much.

So even though I was stopped at that time, I still felt aggrieved.

But now, Melen thinks that the old housekeeper is a good person, who is as good as a matchmaker for him.

However, he didn't think the teacher could listen to him on this kind of issue involving the dignity of the family.

But even if he didn't think the result would be good, Melen still planned to give it a try.

Since people are asking for help, whether it can be done is another matter. At least we can't remain indifferent.

"It's just that contacting the teacher now seems a bit too fast and not fermented enough..."

This regretful thought flashed through his mind, but on the surface, he had already opened the book of secret words to the page corresponding to the teacher.

After thinking about it, Mellen did not mention it immediately, but instead talked about what happened last night.

"I don't know exactly what you went through last night, but I can feel your difficulties and understand why you did what you did."

Mrs. Chelsea has not contacted him yet. She is obviously concerned about some behavior between the two parties, which has gone beyond the relationship between master and apprentice.

Therefore, classifying this matter as a serious matter rather than an ambiguous matter can reduce this concern to the greatest extent.

But if you want to use this to "break the ice", it is not enough.

"I have always thought that you, teacher, are a majestic yet kind person. Although sometimes you are too silent, which makes it difficult to communicate, but overall, in my heart, you are always a person who cares very much about students.

A good teacher is an elder."

"This concept will not change because of some accidents."

When you praise someone, you can't just say good things. Praising the other person's strengths while adding some less important shortcomings will make people feel more authentic, credible, and sincere.

However, Mellen is not only praising Mrs. Chelsea, but also expressing his current thoughts.

What made the teacher silent after this incident was that besides feeling that she had done something wrong, more importantly, she was not sure what the student Mellen would think of her because of this.

She wasn't sure what Melen was thinking, so she would become suspicious and subconsciously think about things in the worst possible way.

So now that Mellen expresses what he thinks, he can remove this suspicion to the greatest extent, and then let the teacher feel the stability of the relationship between the two parties again.

In a sense, this actually gives the other party a sense of security in the relationship, so that when she thinks of her apprentice, she no longer has to waste energy on being immersed in the uncertain state between the two parties.

"The Sword Comes"

The situation was similar to torture. After waiting for a while, I finally received a reply to my confession.

Or something like a student exam.

Before the test results come out, students will feel uneasy and nervous, but as soon as the results come out, no matter good or bad, they will immediately relax——

Unless your grades are too bad, you will face a severe beating when you return home.

"But no matter what, this matter is obviously beyond your tolerance. I can understand your current attitude and thoughts, and I can also know what you are worried about now."

"So I will leave the manor next, and I will no longer beg you to go with me to the world in the storybook."

This passage is very simple, use retreat to advance.

After three sentences, Mellen put down his quill, sat back on the sofa, and began to wait quietly.

Responding with routines will be much more effective than talking nonsense dominated by emotions.

But the human heart is the hardest to grasp. In fact, he dare not say that what he does will definitely succeed.

So Mellen is still feeling a little nervous now.

However, a few words from the other party soon after made him relax immediately.

"I have some physical problems. I am not deliberately neglecting you. Don't think nonsense."

"Of course I won't just let go of what I promised you."

It seems that in order to increase the persuasiveness, the opposite person added another sentence.

"I've been busy these two days, so just wait a little longer. I'll take you to the challenge around the 13th."

The teacher is really innocent...

Looking at these replies, this thought flashed through Mellen's mind.

Then he couldn't help but raise his hand and touch his mouth, as if he was recalling the raw and intense deep kiss when someone held him last night.

A proud smile appeared on his face.

But then, in the tone that a student should have, he told the story about the old housekeeper who came to him to plead for mercy.

He didn't say much, because bringing this up was just a statement.

The other party's response was simple.

"I don't have the time to pay attention to these trivial matters, but you can tell him that even if you want to transfer him, he will only be moved to a higher-level position. Now, he can do whatever he needs to do."

This is actually what it should be.

In addition to considering face, the master also considers the servant's years of service and what other servants will think.

Therefore, the old housekeeper can only be "promoted" but not "demoted".

As a party involved, the old housekeeper certainly couldn't have missed this point.

But the crux of the matter is actually, what position is better than staying next to my wife?

Mellen said nothing more about it.

Seeing that there was no reply from the teacher, he turned the book of secret words back to the page with the little round face, and then passed on the teacher's response.

Then, without waiting for the other party to say anything, Mellen closed the book of secret words.

Since the old butler opposite him can communicate with him through his little round face, he will definitely not ignore the fact that his status as an apprentice cannot be known to outsiders.

So Meren doesn't have to worry about what he says being known by the little round face.

But in this matter, he felt that he was just a sounding board, nothing special, so he didn't pay too much attention.

However, what Melen doesn't know is that this "ability" to be able to contact Mrs. Chelsea in minutes, and even directly ask the other party's thoughts, is not something that just anyone can do...

…

"The teacher is considering giving your grandpa a better position, but he hasn't figured out how to arrange it yet, so you can ask Butler Fox to wait patiently."

This line of reply that appeared in the Book of Secret Words was no more than ten minutes away from the one sent here not long ago.

Staring at these words, Butler Fox fell into silence.

"Can Iger really think of anything else?"

The little round face that Grandpa was using in the Book of Secrets was sitting not far away. Seeing his appearance, I couldn't help but be a little curious.

"Although he is very smart, he can't possibly think of any way to influence Madam's decision, right?"

"No one in the world has the ability to reverse Madam's decision."

Butler Fox replied.

In fact, he had already anticipated the outcome of being transferred.

So right now, he is thinking about another thing——

He believed that no one knew more clearly than him what was going on with Mellen and his wife.

After all, he was someone who had been in contact with Mellen since he was still a secular person.

It can be said that he witnessed with his own eyes how this young man transformed from a secular person to a wizard step by step, and then became the madam's apprentice.

But in his understanding, Mellen became Madam's apprentice only because he had some strange "bond" with Madam, which made Madam want to take on an apprentice by chance.

Although it later turned out that this apprentice was very talented and had strong personal abilities.

But this is not the reason why Madam is particularly fond of this apprentice.

However, right now, the other party can so easily hear the lady's thoughts...

Although there is nothing worth hiding in this idea.

But if Madam had cared about this matter, she would not have passed the news through the apprentice, but would have told him directly.

In other words, he, a direct descendant of the Chelsea family, now uses the book of secret words to contact his wife, but he does not get a reply at all.

But the other party did it easily.

Moreover, Butler Fox still clearly remembered that the "old widow" who caused his "career crisis" not long ago was an executive at the Ministry of Magic and his wife's cousin.

I wanted to see Madam, or even convey her thoughts directly to Madam, but I couldn't do it.

Mellen, this little apprentice...

"If it wasn't Ige, could anyone else have responded?"

The little round-faced man sitting not far away had no idea of ​​anything going on.

He was surprised to see his grandfather's expression suddenly mixed with confusion and confusion.

Grandpa didn't put too much hope in Iger. After all, no matter how smart he was, Iger was just an outsider. He could only give out ideas and couldn't do anything more.

So before that, Grandpa actually contacted other people, hoping to help and beg for mercy.

But this kind of contact was made by grandpa using his own book of secret words...

"You don't have to pay attention to this matter."

The old housekeeper did not explain this.

After clearing the chat messages, he stood up and returned the book of secret words to his grandson, with a serious expression on his face: "Next, you have to think about something."

"What's up?"

"After entering Fort St. Grant, find a way to become Egg's roommate."

Becoming Iger’s roommate?

The little round face was shocked when he heard this.

"Didn't you tell me to find a way to become a roommate with Kevin? Why have you changed your mind now?"

Small wizarding families rely on countless large families, and it is not easy to stand out from them.

To achieve this, ability level is secondary, the most important thing is actually to have a good relationship with the masters.

Therefore, Butler Fox had been telling Little Round Face to become a communicative friend with Kevin, the future son-in-law of the Chelsea family, and to try his best to win his roommate qualification at Fort St. Grant.

It can be said that this is related to the foundation of our future survival and cannot be careless.

So usually, Little Round Face has been preparing for this matter, and the progress is actually pretty good.

At least among the many vassals of the younger generation of the Chelsea family, Kevin's friendship with him is unmatched by others.

But now...

He didn't give the little round-faced boy a chance to continue asking.

Because a servant came to report that a truth believer named Guderian was waiting outside the manor with one of his companions.

The old housekeeper hurried away.

The little round face was left alone, feeling very confused.
