After the two got into the carriage, Lydia signaled the coachman to set off.

A carriage pulled by two white horses galloped down the street, and rows of well-proportioned houses quickly backed away. Because it was late and the streets were already empty, Lydia was not worried about hitting pedestrians.

Emil and Sain were both nervous, not only because it was their first time to ride in such a luxurious carriage, but also because after seeing the coachman's clothes, they suddenly noticed that their clothes were too shabby. This was not qualified in any way.

The appearance of entering a noble house.

They should feel extremely honored that Mosswood is willing to invite them to the manor as guests. Or maybe Mosswood wants to show his sincerity and specially asks the beautiful and generous Lydia to take them back, but even so, they are inevitably

Developed an inferiority complex.

Emil knew very well that this was not Lidia's fault, but something deep in the bones of common people like them.

However, he also thought that Lidya was already so good to them, and if he showed his inferiority complex, Lidya would undoubtedly be unhappy, so he had to pretend to look at the scenery outside.

Sean was at a loss at first, but after seeing Emil's actions, he had no choice but to do it.

However, even if it was such a small behavior, Lydia saw through it immediately, but she said nothing because this was the respect a knight should have for the common people.

There were two rows of seats facing each other inside the carriage. Lydia sat alone in one row, facing the two of them. There was still some time before they arrived at their destination, so she decided to find something to talk about to break the awkward atmosphere.

"By the way, Emil, I heard that you were a blacksmith before joining the army." Lidia said casually.

"..." Emil was stunned for a moment, and then said, "No such thing, he is just a blacksmith apprentice."

"Indeed, Emil is just an apprentice. Only a master like Mosswood can be considered a blacksmith."

Sean also joined the conversation. He didn't mean to belittle Emil, he just told the truth, but Lydia seemed to hear some hidden meanings.

"That's right, but you probably don't know what a blacksmith is yet. In fact, at Emir's level, you can obtain a blacksmith certificate as long as you pass the empire's assessment."

"Really? Even if I only know a little bit about it?"

Emil obviously didn't believe it and just thought Lidia was making fun of him.

"Then how can I take part in the assessment?" Sion asked.

"Sion, don't you understand my ambition? I don't want to be a blacksmith." Emil wanted to stop him from asking.

First, because this is indeed his true thought. He just wants to establish meritorious service on the battlefield, and working in the weapons workshop is only temporary. Second, because he does not want to trouble Lidia. If Lidia knows that he wants to become a professional

The blacksmith will definitely find a way to help.

"It's okay, just ask first."

"Actually, I'm not sure about this," Lidia didn't expect them to ask, so she scratched her head sheepishly and said, "After all, I'm just a trainee knight. If you really have this ambition, you can ask me

Grandpa, anyway, I heard that grandpa passed the imperial examination when he was as young as you."

"Oh, that's no trouble." Emil said with a smile.

"How can that be done? We can't bury your talents," but Scion refused to give up and continued, "Think about it, ordinary people like us, even if we make relatively big achievements in the future, may not be able to do so."

You will be recognized by the nobles, but if you become a blacksmith, you may be able to get rid of your status as a commoner one day like Mr. Mosswood. Then I can rely on you, right?"

Emil was grateful that Sion could speak for him, but he couldn't accept the behavior of troubling others for his own sake, so he spoke his true thoughts.

"Needless to say, I actually don't want to trouble Mr. Mosswood."

"But……"

Thain wanted to say something more, but when he saw that Emil was talking about this, he finally chose to remain silent.

Just like that, the atmosphere in the carriage became awkward again, and Lidia could only sigh secretly. She didn't breathe a sigh of relief until the carriage arrived at the door of a manor.

Lidia went down first and told the servant to open the door, and the two of them got out of the car. When they saw the tall building in front of them clearly, they all showed expressions of disbelief.

When they came to this town, they thought that the ridiculous restaurant was gorgeous enough, until they saw the current four-story building, and it was definitely not on the same level as that restaurant in terms of style and scale.

"Is this a castle?" Sean suddenly asked.

"What castle?" Lydia wondered.

Even Emil felt embarrassed at this time. Although in his impression, the castles in the storybook illustrations were nothing better than this, but it was obvious that only the great nobles could afford to live in castles, and the most in front of them was

Just a manor.

"Hahahaha," Lidia suddenly understood and couldn't help but laugh out loud, "So I meant my family. I'm sorry to misunderstand you. In the Elnos Empire, only members of the royal family can afford to live in the castle.

This scale may seem big enough to you, but this is just a manor for a small noble. By the way, do you know the rank of the nobles?"

"What? Expensive

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Thank you for your hard work." Lidia nodded to them, and then looked at the introverted maid helplessly, "Margaret, haven't you adapted to this place yet? Did Phyllis not guide you seriously?"

"No, no, I..."

Just as the maid named Margaret wanted to speak, another maid spoke first.

"It's impossible. I have taught her very patiently. She is too nervous and can't do anything well. It's really useless. Alas, if you ask me, you shouldn't let her come here. We are here

Where is this place that a commoner like her can come in?"

Upon hearing this, Emil and Sean were shocked and both felt ashamed.

"Tsk, Phyllis, what are you talking about?" Lidia raised her voice, obviously angry.

Phyllis heard Lidia's emotions. Although she didn't understand what she said wrong for a moment, she finally understood what was going on after glancing at the two guests.

However, she did not think that she was wrong, but felt that as a noble lady, Lydia was too willful and did not understand the difference between superiority and inferiority.

"Miss Lidia, please wait a moment, I will prepare dinner for you." Phyllis bowed and left the living room.

"Miss Lydia, this..." Margaret felt at a loss and seemed to think she had messed up.

"Margaret, you don't have to worry about it," Lidia quickly comforted her. "That guy is too arrogant. If you ask me, she is not suitable to stay here. You must not have any psychological burden. Do you understand?"

"..." Margaret nodded silently.

"Oh, Lydia, don't say that, it seems we really shouldn't be here." Sion said with an embarrassed look.

"Tsk, Sion, do you want to make me angry too?"

"Don't be angry, Lidia," Emil quickly stood up to smooth things over. "Thank you very much for speaking for common people like us, but it would be bad if it affects your relationship with your servants because of us."

Lydia was indeed very angry. If chivalry etiquette had not been strictly observed, she might have asked Phyllis to leave the manor on the spot.

She had always been dissatisfied with the nobles' self-respecting attitude, and she even scorned them. But she didn't expect that when she became a noble, she found that even the servants had that attitude.

She sometimes thought that maybe those servants looked down on her and her grandfather who were from common people.

"Oh, I'm so sorry for you, this happened when we first came here." Lidya apologized.

"It's okay, it's okay, we are all used to it." Emil smiled and waved his hand.

"Yeah, I'm used to it." Sain couldn't help but smile bitterly.

After a while, Margaret suddenly spoke timidly.

"Well, Miss Lidia, there are two other guests. You can sit down casually for now, and I'll make you a cup of tea."

"Well, you go ahead." Lidia nodded.

Margaret turned to leave, but as soon as she reached the door, she was stopped by Lydia again.

"Wait a minute, go to the warehouse and take out the black tea for brewing. It's the one that grandpa brought back a few days ago. You should know."

"But," Margaret hesitated, "such precious tea leaves..."

"Huh? What's going on? Do you even want to say such a thing?"

Lydia was immediately unhappy. Even if Phyllis looked down on common people, why did Margaret, who was originally a common people, do the same?

"Yes, I'm sorry, I was wrong, don't drive me away, please, Miss Lidia."

Margaret quickly apologized, her voice trembling, as if she felt she had made a huge mistake.

"Oh, it's really troublesome," Lidia muttered in a low voice, and then said, "Okay, okay, I don't blame you, go and come back quickly."

"oh oh."

Margaret nodded and ran out of the hall quickly.

"I'll make you laugh, I actually have such an incompetent servant at home." Lidia said with a wry smile.

"It's okay, we don't care."

"That's good. Anyway, we still have to wait ten minutes before dinner. You should take this opportunity to take a bath and change your clothes. I will ask someone to bring it to you."

After Lidia finished speaking, she stood up from the chair.

"Uh, please..."

Emil wanted to know where the bathhouse was. After all, the servants were busy and they wouldn't be able to find it without someone to guide them.

"Don't worry about this, the housekeeper will take you there." Lidia seemed to have expected that he would ask this, so she walked to the door and said to the door, "Jolsen, help take the two guests to take a shower."

May I?"

There was silence outside the door for a while, and then someone pushed the door open and came in.

It was an old man with black and white hair who looked to be in his fifties. He was tall and wearing a black dress. Time had already carved rich lines on his face, but he still looked very energetic and full of energy in every move he made.

Got demeanor.

Butler Joelson first bowed to Lidia, and then said in a magnetic voice.

"I understand, but before that, please allow me to greet Mr. Daniel."

"...What? Is that guy back too?" Lidia was surprised.
