Are you worthy of saving the world?

The black-haired boy had a calm expression, and that posture made Annabelle feel deeply powerless.

I felt like a little white mouse that was entangled and coiled up, with no room for resistance in front of him.

At this time, Yuli stood up from the sofa and glanced at the pink-haired woman who was kneeling devoutly at his feet.

"Erin, Anna just arrived and doesn't seem to know the rules very well. The training of the new maid will be left to you."

"Yes, Master. Please leave it to me."

Irene leaned forward and lowered her head as much as possible, respectfully seeing off Yuri's receding back.

Then, she slowly moved to Annabelle, who was hugging her body tightly and looking pale, and gently took her hand.

"Come...let's go, Anna."

"By the way, I forgot to ask you, how is the maid costume? Does it fit? Is it too tight?"

Erin asked as she wrapped her arm around Annabelle and walked through the living room.

"Oh, um... no problem..." Annabelle looked away and nodded.

"That's good... Hehe, the master is really careless."

"..."

Hearing Irene calling Ulysses "Master" affectionately and naturally, Annabelle felt unreal again, and both of her legs felt light as she took steps.

In the end what happened?

Why would you, Erin...

Is it because of me...

While she was hesitating whether to ask her friend what happened, Irene had already started to instruct the new maid.

The first step was to introduce Annabelle to the overall configuration of the mansion.

There is a living room, reception room, kitchen, warehouse, tea room, etc. on the first floor.

The second floor is the guest room and study for guests, as well as the rooms used by servants, which are at the end of the corridor.

The third floor is Stella's attic alone.

There is a small courtyard outside the mansion, where Yuli grows cucumbers.

"That's the exact situation...Okay! Any questions, Anna-san?"

Erin asked with a smile, poking her chin as she imitated what she did at school.

Annabell shook her head and Erin pulled her wrist.

"Well, let's go to the kitchen..."

"Come, Anna, this is the kitchen. Inside is the storage room, which contains some ingredients that can be stored for a long time and not very expensive wines."

"If you find that any food is moldy, remember to throw it away as soon as possible to avoid affecting other ingredients."

The pink-haired maid explained incessantly and with great interest.

She is obviously a teacher at the school, but for some reason she looks very much like a maid outfit.

"The work in the mansion mainly includes three parts: cooking, laundry and cleaning the room."

"Cleaning the room is just a quick job, the most important thing is cooking..."

Irene leaned close to Annabell's ear and whispered with a wicked smile, "Because the food in St. Cromwell's canteen is terrible, we must ensure that the master has breakfast and dinner at home?"

"By the way, the host's favorite dishes are his seafood fried rice and..."

"——Erin."

Annabell interrupted her friend coldly. Her patience had finally reached its limit.

Irene tilted her head: "What's wrong, Anna? Is there something you don't understand..."

"That's not what I want to say. Why are you so calm? What kind of dedicated maid job is that? Isn't that stupid?"

Annabell grabbed the wrist that was reaching out to her and glared at Erin.

The look that was filled with murderous intent was casually brushed off by Irene with a relaxed expression.

"I understand. Anna feels that the work of a maid is very hard. Can you accept it for a while?"

She put her hands on her hips and said gently, as if she was comforting a grouchy student, "I felt the same way at first, but after actually working, it wasn't that hard.

I feel more fulfilled now that I have an extra job, and I can learn a lot. For example, when washing clothes, I have to choose the cleaning method according to the material of the fabric. I can’t use magic to clean silk products…”

Irene spoke happily and fluently, and Anna just felt that the pink-haired woman standing in front of her was a stranger.

"Yes, yes, the master..."

"Stop calling that little devil master!"

Master, master, master...

"He is your student, right?"

Annabelle's chest rose and fell violently with her heavy breathing.

The light that flickered in Irene's eyes when she talked about her life as a maid was real, and Annabelle could no longer suppress the anger in her chest.

"Answer me, Irene! Why on earth are you here?"

"Because I want to ask the master not to pursue your bet on your behalf."

Irene wanted to just smile and get away with it, but seeing Annabelle's furious look, she answered truthfully, "If Annabelle must be punished, I hope to share the punishment with you."

Annabelle had of course vaguely guessed this reason.

It's unnecessary.

If it were any other time, Annabell would have reprimanded her severely, but—

But Irene didn't look like she was accepting punishment at all. She was clearly enjoying it.

"Are you happy as Ulysses' maid? Do you really regard that little devil as your master?"

"Anna..."

Irene took a breath and answered with great certainty.

"Yes."

"Varied……"

Annabell was so surprised that she let go of Irene's wrist, leaving a noticeable red mark on the wrist that was grabbed.

Irene covered her aching left hand with her right palm and stared at her face.

At such a close distance, one could clearly see other emotions besides anger hidden in Annabelle's eyes—

That was the look of someone who felt betrayed.

"I lived with Ulfis in this mansion for nearly a week without telling you, so I got to know him better."

"Ulphis is indeed an exceptionally good kid. No wonder he is the savior predicted by the prophecy."

"He has a unique leadership quality and charm that makes people want to follow him. It has nothing to do with teachers, students or age."

What Irene said was mostly improvisation to convince Annabell, but it was also mixed with some of her real thoughts.

"Then, Ulphis asked me if I would be willing to serve him after he came of age... and I agreed."

Irene smiled beautifully: "Because you see, Ulfis is a super high-quality potential stock, right?

He is the future savior, and he has a handsome face and a good personality...

Haha, as long as we follow Ulfis, even the Farah family will be revived!"

Erin said as she walked over to Annabelle and squeezed her hand.

Facing the eyes filled with anger and incomprehension, Irene spoke seriously.

"Ulfis is not as incompetent as you think.

He is not ordinary, nor bad, nor weak, but the most special child I have ever met."

"Anna, do you want to follow Ulphis-san with me?"

She held Annabelle’s hand and whispered, “I don’t know why you hate him so much, but I think there must be some misunderstanding.

Even though your master always seems to go against you, he actually cares about you very much.

Even though he didn't say it explicitly, he actually wants to establish a friendly relationship with you. I'm also a woman...so I can understand.

Ulysses-san speaks very highly of you, I am a little envious... Just kidding, hehe."

Although she said it as a joke, there was obvious envy in Irene's eyes.

Annabell's eyes widened.

"and many more……"

She was stunned for a moment, and asked in astonishment: "You told him everything about me?"

Irene nodded: "Because the master cares about you so much... Anna?"

"enough!"

Annabell screamed hysterically, "Why are you on his side? Haven't you always been on my side?

You've been talking to yourself since just now... You know I hate him so much, but you still flatter him! Do you really want to please the Son of Prophecy?"

"Anna!"

Annabell slapped away Irene's outstretched hand, glared at her with tearful eyes, then turned and ran out of the kitchen.

"Wait for me, Anna! Where are you going!?"

Annabell ignored Irene's shouting behind her and slammed the door and walked out in her maid outfit.

After she came outside, she found that it was raining on the street at night.

There were few pedestrians on the road. Annabelle, who was escaping from Yuli's house, ran all the way, just wanting to get away from here as soon as possible.

She originally thought that Irene was the only person in the world she could trust.
