Chapitre 35: 035 I Choose You
Aurelius's gaze scanned the maids who were standing in front of him. There were about fifteen of them and each one of them wore a black maid outfit that emphasized their curves, giving Aurelius a hard time from scanning the maids for potential targets to checking them out.
'System, show me their information!'
Aurelius mumbled inwardly; he planned to convert one of them as it would be really helpful to have someone working for him from the inside.

Blue screens appeared above the maids' heads, and Aurelius read each and every one of them very carefully.
He came across some of the maids who were above level twenty-three, but Aurelius ignored them for now as he couldn't convert them yet.
'I need someone who is a little talented but also easily manipulated.' He mumbled to himself as he filtered out two people from the bunch—Iris and Elise.
They both were werewolf demons, belonging to the nation Drakkarn—the nation of wrath.
Iris had two fluffy red wolf ears on top of her head and a luscious red tail swaying rhythmically behind her back.
Noticing Aurelius's gaze, a small smirk bloomed on her face as her red eyes, which were blazing like a fire, glinted while she emphasized her assets. 'Looks like I have one prospect already in the bag!' she muttered to herself as she bit her lip with anticipation.
'But why is he wearing a hood?' she wondered, curious to see his face. 'Wait, what if he's ugly?'
But then she shook her head inwardly as she murmured to herself, 'No matter, as long as he is rich, it doesn't matter!'
But then a frown developed on her face as she noticed Aurelius's gaze shifting toward Elise. 'Why is he looking at the bitch!'
But then, she eased her brows as a mocking grin developed on her face, 'Well, no matter, who would want that bitch anyway?'
Aurelius noticed the mocking gaze of Iris from the corner of his eye, 'Looks like these two have something going between them.' He mused but shifted his attention toward Elise.
Just like Iris, Elise too had wolf ears and a tail, but they were light blue in color. The contrast between Iris and Elise was their demeanor.
While Iris looked like a confident woman with pride in her eyes, Elise was slumped, her wolf ears drooping low and her tail on the ground, lying limp.
There were some scars on her face that she tried to cover with her makeup but clearly failed. Her hands tightly clamped the ends of her dress, pinching her dress while her eyes were fixated on the ground.
Elise scrunched Aurelius's gaze; she lowered her face even further while biting her lips.
'Looks like I found my lamb!' Aurelius muttered to himself as he smirked inwardly. He then looked away from Elise, wanting to see how others would react to the attention he had given to Iris and Elise.
SNICKER
And only a moment later, a soft snicker reached Aurelius's ears; he glanced toward the source only to see Iris snorting at Elise with arrogance.
His eyes then observed the reaction from the rest of the maids, and their reaction surprised him a little. Some of them glared at Iris, some of them looked at Elise with pity, while some of them had small smiles on their faces.
Elise's body scrunched up even more as she noticed the gazes she was receiving. She bit down on her lip as she tried to stop the tears at the corners of her eyes from falling down.
Aurelius watched all of this with an impassive gaze, while Esper had an annoyed look on her face. "Tsk!" she clicked her tongue in annoyance, startling all the maids.
AHEM
One of the senior maids cleared her throat and stepped forward, "We are sorry for the display, my lady." She apologized, bowing her head to Esper.
The rest of the group, including Elise, bowed to Esper while apologizing.
The senior maid then looked at Esper and continued, "My Lady, each of the VVIP guests can choose a maid among us. We will stay with you and be at your service for the rest of the journey."
"Hmph!" Esper just snorted at her with annoyance but didn't want to make a scene; she then walked toward Lilith and mumbled, "I suggest you choose this one," she said while pointing toward the maid who stepped up and apologized, "At least she has some sense in her."
"Playing politics in front of their guests! How unprofessional!" she muttered under her breath as she glared at them, but due to their being close, all of them could hear what she said and could only smile wryly.
Lilith didn't care about the petty politics of the maids but did agree with what Esper suggested; before she could say her choice, she turned toward Aurelius, wanting to know if he wanted her.
Aurelius, noticing Lilith's gaze, turned toward her and shook his head, allowing her to choose.
A small smile bloomed on Lilith's face as she turned toward the senior maid and said, "Then I will choose you!"
