Unspeakable bubbles

"A secluded place? Are you hiding your secret stash of money?" Joan couldn't help but ask.

"No, no, Bubble is helping Carmen find a place where she won't be disturbed."

"Have it!"

Before Joan could ask any more questions, Bubble dashed off to a well.

"Carmen, this place is nice. It's cool and no one will bother you. In a while, you can crawl out of here and find Bubble!"

As she spoke, the little girl ripped off the ruby ​​hanging around her neck and threw it down.

"Ah, don't throw it!"

Joan couldn't stop it in time and could only watch with heartache as the ruby ​​disappeared into the well.

What beautiful gemstones! How come I've never noticed them before?

"Bubble, that's a huge gem that could sell for a lot of money, why did you throw it away?"

Joan walked over to Bubble and put her head close to the well opening.

"It's such a deep well, should I try jumping in and pulling it out?"

"Carmen will climb up on her own eventually; now is not the time."

"..."

Seeing Qiong's conflicted expression, Bubble said with a smile, "Let's hurry up, or we'll be late today."

"Hmm, never mind. Anyway, the gem is yours, Bubble, as long as you're happy."

Joan shook her head: "Let's go, let's have some fun today."

........................................................................

"Your Excellency, over here!"

Upon seeing Bubble's carriage in the distance, Becky's maid held up a sign and shouted loudly.

"coming!"

Joan, who was working part-time as a groom, responded and, after slightly adjusting her direction, focused her attention on the group of fully armed soldiers.

'The Earl's private army? Their equipment is quite impressive.'

Joan immediately thought of the patrol team under Bubble's command, whose only weapon was the sturdy wooden sticks tucked into their waistbands.

'What a difference!'

"Becky!"

The little girl lifted the curtain and jumped down before the carriage had come to a complete stop.

"Slow down, be careful not to fall."

When Bubble got closer, Becky stamped her foot and said, "Bubble, your maid is so clueless! She saw her master about to do something dangerous and didn't stop her in time!"

"Get rid of this third-rate maid as soon as possible! I have plenty of maids, I'll send you a professional one another day."

"Damn it, I'm just a third-rate maid, I'm so sorry."

When Joan walked up to Bubble and heard Becky talking bad about her, she rolled her eyes inwardly.

"Look at her, she still looks unhappy!"

Becky became even more displeased when she saw that Joan showed no remorse whatsoever.

"Qiong is Bubble's bodyguard; the maid is just a part-time job," the little girl said with a smile.

"Guards?"

Becky scrutinized Joan with a critical eye, then turned to Kid behind her and asked, "My knight, what do you think of the Viscount's guard? Is she capable of protecting her master?"

"Miss Qiong is quite capable."

Kidd objectively commented, "He can at least defeat 70% of the knights under the master's command."

"That's amazing?"

Becky was taken aback, and her gaze toward Joan immediately became much more respectful.

A capable person will be respected no matter where they are.

"Bubble, how about I give you a maid when we get back today?"

Becky laughed and said, "It's really a waste of Miss Joan's talents to continue serving as her maid."

Section 361, Chapter 360: The Strange Guy

"As for the maid, Bubble's classmate will be coming over in a while. She's a very capable maid."

The little girl looked at Qiong and said, "Qiong, you won't have to work so hard then."

"Actually, it's alright. I'm okay as a guard, but as a maid... I really don't have much experience."

"Joan, is there anything else you want to do?" the little girl suddenly asked.

"Huh?"

Qiong paused for a moment: "If there's anything I want to do, it's that my master has been incredibly kind to me, and I want to repay her kindness."

"Are there any bubbles that can help you?"

The little girl said, "Because Qiong helped Bubble a lot, Bubble was thinking about whether there was anything she could do to help."

Hearing this, Joan was immediately moved.

but……

'Given Bubble's current situation, asking her to help open a martial arts school is rather unrealistic.'

After all, she's just a young girl with the title of viscount.

Thinking this, Joan smiled and said, "I'll talk about my business later. Today, Viscount's task is to have a good time all day."

"Becky, are we going back to the academy after our dinner party today?" The little girl turned to look at Becky.

"No need, I've also invited a juggling troupe to perform here today, we can watch until the afternoon."

Becky thought for a moment and then said, "Of course, I haven't forgotten about Bubble's 'Great Adventure' either. When the show is almost over, I'll take you for a walk in the woods."

"That's roughly the schedule for today. What do you think?"

Eating, watching acrobatics, strolling through the woods—to be honest, Becky's itinerary wasn't very interesting.

Fortunately, the little girl is easily satisfied.

She nodded happily: "Bubble thinks it's fine!"

Just as the two were talking intimately, the little girl felt that familiar gaze fixed on her again.

"Ok?"

She looked in the direction she felt and saw a girl with freckles on her face quickly lower her head.

"Bubble?"

“…Becky, she’s looking at Bubbles again.” Bubbles pointed to the girl who was looking down.

"Eileen, is it her again?"

Becky said rather unhappily, "I asked someone to inquire before, and she clearly said that nothing was wrong."

"How about this,"

“We’ll invite her along when we go for a walk this afternoon, so we can talk things out face to face.”

"kindness."…………………………………………………………………………

"Wow, that monkey is so obedient!"

"Six plates, can he spin more with one hand?"

"Another bullseye! The red-nosed clown's darts are incredibly accurate!"

"Look! He, he swallowed the sword!"

A group of girls were shouting and yelling, but Joan watched with little interest.

Well, the higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment.

She had been looking forward to Sain's circus act, but it turned out to be nothing special.

"Joan, are you sleepy?"

The little girl noticed that Joan looked listless and said with concern, "If you're sleepy, Joan, why don't you go back to the carriage and sleep for a while?"

"It's not that I'm sleepy, well, it's just that those people are using the same old tricks."

Joan said softly, "Bubble, didn't you and Miss Becky agree to go for a walk? When are you planning to leave?"

"Let's go now."

Bubble greeted Becky's maid, who had been watching her closely, and the maid immediately nodded in response.

Bubble and Joan left the crowd first, and a little while later, Becky led a few people toward them.

"Bubble, sorry to keep you waiting, let's go."

Becky led the way into the woods, Bubble followed lightly beside her, while Eileen lagged behind, head down as she followed.

Bringing up the rear were Kidd and Joan, who served as bodyguards.

"It's been a long time since I've had a leisurely stroll in the woods, and it has really lifted my spirits."

As they walked, Becky said with a smile, "I remember the last time I went on a long trip was half a year ago when I went hunting with my brothers."

"Finally, I got to go on a long trip again today!"

“Becky, it’s not that far from here, it can’t be considered a long trip.”

"Oh, I almost forgot, Bubble, you traveled all the way back from the Federation."

Becky looked at the little girl with some envy: "Bubble, you're so lucky. You've been to so many interesting places before."
