Zongman: From No Job to Becoming a Collector King

On a sunny morning, you can hear the chirping of birds

“”Master, it’s time to get up~”

A pleasant female voice came from the side.

Rhode rubbed his eyes and looked at the source of the voice.

The pretty maid was wearing a black and white high-necked Gothic maid outfit. Her black high-heeled boots made her look very heroic. Her waist-length golden hair was casually draped over her shoulders and down to her waist.

Rhode yawned.

“What? It’s Xiludi……..”

Xiludi puffed up her cheeks and pretended to be jealous.

“”Your Majesty, are you reluctant to part with Miss Rita? How about asking Miss Rita to continue to be your personal maid?”

Ten years have passed since the three consecutive summons that day.

Five years ago, Rita had to take on the duties of an administrator around the clock because of the rapid development of Arcadia and the rapid expansion of the land area.

So she recommended the relatively free Xiludi to serve as Rhodes’ personal maid.

Although Xiludi and Rita both have bangs covering their eyes, they have very different personalities.

Rita is the type who will talk back to Rhodes because of his willfulness, but Xiludi, perhaps because of her maid devil roots, is quite doting on Rhodes.

“How could that be? I love every girl in the palace equally!”

“so……My lovely Xiludi, let me sleep again…….”

After finishing his scumbag speech, Rhode rolled up the blanket and lay down on the bed again.

“This month’s share of spoiled children has been used up.~”

“Besides, Master, you don’t want Miss Alice to wake you up, do you?”

Rhode’s groggy head suddenly became clear.

He rubbed his eyes, kicked off the blanket wordlessly, and muttered something in dissatisfaction.

“Damn, I shouldn’t have let Charlotte bring that unruly girl back home!”

Xiludi smiled and took Rhode’s hand, took him to the bathroom, and wiped his cheek with a wet towel.

“You have said this three thousand six hundred times. After all, you are not the one who loves her the most in the palace~”

Alice was kidnapped by Charlotte three years after she left.

Charlotte Corday was traveling in the Kingdom of Asura. While carrying out the assassination plan distributed by Rhodes, she was planning the kidnapping plan.

It happened that she saw the notice of the Greyrat family recruiting teachers, so she decisively chose to apply.

Although Alice was still young at that time, her notoriety was already known far and wide.

The eldest daughter of the upper noble Greyrat family, the granddaughter of the lord of Fitoya territory, and the daughter of the mayor of the capital Roya, she had multiple buffs.

And she had a brainless and doting grandfather.

At a young age, Alice became a wild, bold, rude, and strong woman with well-developed limbs. She was secretly ridiculed and excluded by all the self-proclaimed civilized nobles.

Dignified etiquette and full of talent are the two Alice has none of the standard qualities of a rich lady.

Alice was even expelled from the aristocratic school she attended because of her violent personality and frequent violent attacks on others. She was given the title of”Mad Dog” by those around her.

All five tutors who had worked for Alice resigned because they could not bear Alice’s violence.

Until Charlotte came.

Charlotte’s rank as an assassin meant that no matter how Alice attacked, she could not succeed.

But Alice was like a stubborn bull. She kept fighting after repeated failures and did not know how to give in.

With permission from the opponent’s father, Charlotte used her ability to block her breath to fight back every time she was attacked, and each time she scared Alice half to death.

Every time she fought back, Charlotte would forcefully tell the story of a boy the same age as Alice.

The previous king died in battle, the country was in decline, and wolves were all around.

How did the young boy… Growing up step by step in a desperate situation where death is almost certain.

Rectifying the officialdom, training the army, rebuilding the city, and establishing the Chamber of Commerce.

Eventually, developing a small country that was far inferior to Roya City into a party that could not be ignored in the dispute zone.

Alice and Charlotte’s attack game lasted for a whole year.

Later, Alice was not sure whether she did this for revenge or just to get to know the boy better.

Alice sneered at the beginning, then gradually became curious, and later even had a faint sense of admiration for the boy’s amazing wisdom.

Although she herself has always refused to admit this.

Half a year later, a fat minister of the Kingdom of Asura coveted Alice, and sent a large number of killers and housekeepers as an insider to try to kidnap her.

Charlotte released the treasure in front of Alice for the first time.

After witnessing that scene with her own eyes After the battle, Alice became obedient in front of Charlotte.

Charlotte took this opportunity to explain her intentions to Alice’s father.

It was just a trial move, but the other party actually agreed after considering it for three days, but the condition was that Alice’s grandfather must be kept in the dark when she was sent away.

Whether it was out of concern for his daughter’s situation or the nobles’ nature of making a shrewd investment in the future.

In short, since then, the red-haired mad dog has arrived in Arcadia, which she has always been curious about.

Rhode washed up with the help of Xiludi, changed into leisurely home clothes, and came to the hall together.

Compared with the environment that the homeless man saw ten years ago, the hall has become much more luxurious now.

Huge white stone pillars support the four-story building, and a five-meter-long giant crystal chandelier hangs straight from the high ceiling to the sky.

The murals on the roof and the statues on both sides are from the hands of famous artists.

Exquisite carpets with various patterns cover the corridors and rooms.

Rhode walked straight to the white jade chair. As soon as he sat down, he heard the red-haired girl snort in dissatisfaction.

“Too slow! Even though he’s grown up, Rhode still likes to sleep in!”

Rhode rolled up his sleeves and started his daily pre-meal tasks with great momentum.

Bickering with Alice!

“Humph, I don’t know who it was, but he always liked to sleep with me until three years ago. Once we were separated, he would cry.”

Alice crossed her arms and glared at Rhode with a red face.

“Blah, blah!”

“That woman just praised me for my rapid progress. Be careful that I will beat you up after I surpass you!”

Rhodes covered his forehead and sighed helplessly.

“I said, she is our teacher after all, you should respect her more!”

Alice pursed her lips, turned her head and snorted.

“I don’t admit that guy is my teacher!”

Rhode looked at Gilena who was sitting next to Alice.

In the palace, Gilena and Alice had the best relationship except for Rhode and Charlotte.

It might be true that the Greylat family had genes that liked the beastmen.

However, Gilena also looked helpless.

After all, this girl would do what she set her mind to, even if it meant getting hurt.

“I’m full, I’m going out to practice swordplay!”

Although she was still rude, Alice still saluted Rhode honestly, and then strode out aggressively.

Standing next to Rhode, Xiludi couldn’t help her curiosity and leaned over to ask in a low voice

“Your Majesty, why is Miss Alice so hostile to Captain Unohana?”

“Leader Unohana is the most gentle person I have ever met. Would she also have a conflict with a child?”

Rhode scratched his head and took a sip of hot milk, looking a little embarrassed.

“This may have something to do with me.”
