章節 27: Chapter 26: Your Tea My Lady...
In the bedroom, Graham had already changed into clean clothes and was admiring Priscilla's sleeping face.
Although this woman always spoke arrogantly, and offended people for sport, it was undeniable that she looked quite cute when she was asleep.
With the 'Royal Selection' approaching, and Leip having lost his mind, she was in a very advantageous position.
In just over ten days, Priscilla had already used her unique charm to win over everyone in the territory, including the thousand-strong 'Crimson Battlefront' army, who were willing to follow her commands.
The mansion was also very peaceful; no one dared to cause trouble. The servants, for the sake of their future, could only focus more on fulfilling their duties as servants and working diligently.
Moreover, as time went by, they also began to realize that Priscilla was very open-minded.
Apart from her arrogance, she outshone the old man Leip in every other aspect.
More importantly, if you did your job well, Priscilla was never stingy with rewards.
Therefore, as long as they did their jobs well, everything would be fine, and they might even receive bonuses. This naturally resulted in them respecting Priscilla, their mistress, even more.
As for Leip? Who was that?
Oh, there was indeed such a person, but the princess called him 'Old Skeleton'.
True to his name, he was over 70 years old, had lost his mind, but was stubbornly clinging to life. He was indeed a tough old man.
"Excuse me, Lord Graham, you came out of the Lady's room again. Did something happen? Can you please tell me? I'll be sure to keep it a secret."
"...Are all maids as gossip-loving as you? Or is it because of your gossiping that you became the head maid, Yae?"
"Gossip? Lord Graham, you are such a strange person, always saying things I don't understand! But according to the Lady, you are interesting, right?"
The girl in front of Graham smiled playfully. Not only was she not scared off by his cold expression, but she also teased him back.
Her name was Yae Tenzen, a tall, beautiful woman with red hair, wearing a maid outfit with red and white as the base colors. She was also the head maid employed by the mansion, a very capable person.

Priscilla had a keen eye and was quick to recognize Yae's extraordinary abilities, so she often sent her on errands. Over time, Graham became familiar with her as well.
"Yae, if you keep prying into the princess's affairs, she might dock your pay, so do be careful okay?" Graham glanced at her and warned.
"Pay?"
"Your salary for working hard as the head maid in the mansion."
"I know that~ But Lord Graham surely won't tattle on me, right!"
Upon hearing about her pay, Yae immediately put on a pitiful expression, looking as if she was begging for mercy.
"Depends on my mood~" Graham smiled slightly.
"Tch. Lord Graham, you're so mean!"
Yae pouted, looking disdainful, but quickly regained her energy. "By the way, what do you think of the Lady, Lord Graham?"
"In what way?"
"Whichever way you think of~"
"I think the princess is great. No matter how much I stare at her, she never gets angry~"
Recalling certain scenes, Graham's face felt a bit warm.
"Oh~ there's a story! Definitely a story! No way, so that's what you were doing in the Lady's room!? I'm going to report to the Lady, saying that Lord Graham was peeking at her..."
"Hey, hey, I wasn't, I didn't, don't make things up!"
Graham raised an eyebrow. This maid was really cheeky!
"Hehe~ who knows?" Yae smiled sweetly, as if she suddenly remembered something. She took out a cup of tea from behind her and handed it to Graham.
"Lord Graham, I suddenly have some urgent business. Please deliver this tea to the Lady for me~!"
"Isn't this a maid's job? You're blatantly slacking off. No way, I'm going to report you!"
"Oh~ Lord Graham, you're such a 'bad' guy. You're exuding 'danger' as a man! I don't even know why the lady keeps you around..."
"Haha, don't you go falling for me now Yae. I'm way above your legue, a man you'll never get. I'll take care of the tea, you go handle your business."
Graham didn't mind Yae's teasing at all; after all, he had thick skin! [T/N: To read such a cringe on a Saturday! :'(...]
"Then I'll leave it to you, Lord Graham! Don't drink it, okay~!"
With a mysterious smile, Yae hopped away.
Watching Yae leave, Graham looked at the tea in his hand, a peculiar smile appearing in his eyes. After Yae's words, he really wanted to take a sip!
Thinking this, he lifted the tea and took a gentle sip...
Walking through the corridor lined with luxurious red carpets, Graham arrived at the hall.
At this moment, Priscilla was lounging on a luxurious sofa, quietly reading some documents. Her lazy posture only highlighted her infinite charm as a woman.
"Princess, your tea."
Graham's expression was strange as he gently placed the cup of tea on the table beside Priscilla, then stood by and observed her.
Priscilla's nose twitched, and her sharp gaze suddenly swept over him.

[T/N: To those who read ahead on the Chinese site, how is it so far? Should I be worried about the MC suddenly being Mount Tai and face slapping hidden ancestors?]
