Chapter 163: Screening
It's fine, as long as I don't choose her...
Naclis comforted herself in her heart, while shooting a hostile glance at that maid.
She had long golden hair, and her face could be described as flawless, even surpassing that of the Witches. She was the most beautiful woman Naclis had ever seen so far.
At the same time, her face was also filled with confidence. Her confident smile seemed capable of infecting others.
Not just her face, her figure was also nearly perfect, the golden ratio was just like this. Wrapped in white stockings, the graceful lines of her legs were completely displayed.
On her feet were a pair of flat leather shoes. She didn't need high heels to showcase her flawless figure.
"I choose her."
Once again, before Naclis could speak, Mirrorheart chose this maid, leaving Naclis dumbfounded on the spot.
"My name is Seraphina. Pleased to meet you, my master."
Seraphina walked up to Loren with elegant steps, lifted the hem of her skirt, crossed her legs, and bowed her head to Loren in a curtsy.Elegant, perfect, pure, dignified... it seemed every positive adjective could be applied to Seraphina, to the point where even Loren grew a little suspicious.
"Is she really okay?"
Loren asked Mirrorheart. He trusted Mirrorheart's judgment, but still wanted to confirm.
"Exactly, she doesn't look like a good person to me."
Naclis immediately agreed with Loren. Seraphina didn't look like an ordinary person no matter how you looked at her. Someone like her could thrive anywhere, so why would she stoop to being a maid?
But if the master was Loren, it wasn't entirely incomprehensible. After all, Loren's personal charm was top-tier in the whole world;
even a succubus couldn't compare to a single hair on Loren's head.
You should know, many people killed by Loren, even as Loren's blade was already swinging, didn't believe Loren would actually strike.
"No problem. Her roots are pure and true."
Mirrorheart remained expressionless. Since Mirrorheart said so, Loren had no objections.
"Thank you, Head Maid-sama."
Seraphina also bowed to Mirrorheart, her social graces were absolutely top-notch. Anyway, Loren felt Mirrorheart quite enjoyed the identity of Head Maid.
"You come too."
Anna suddenly pointed to a maid in the corner. Upon realizing Anna was pointing at her, she seemed a bit disbelieving.
"Me?"
This maid was somewhat cute-looking, quite pleasant to look at, but she wasn't on the same level as Seraphina. When she saw Seraphina, she felt ashamed of her own appearance, which was why she hid in the corner.
Originally, she had given up hope, thinking getting a silver coin was pretty good too, but Anna gave her a chance.
"I remember you. You were in charge of watching me at the Royal Capital ball that day. I ate so satisfyingly that day, which is why I have a deep impression of you."
Loren glanced at her. Loren did remember this face. The Loren after transmigrating had a photographic memory, able to remember even a maid he had only glanced at once.
"Why did you come to apply for a job with me?"
Loren casually asked. Seeing that Loren also recognized her, the maid felt incredibly excited and started stammering:
"Be... because of the Blackened... they destroyed the palace... I've been unemployed for a long time... so I came here to try my luck...
"I... I'm called Corolla... pleased to meet you... Master Mentor... no no no... my master..."
She clumsily imitated Seraphina's words, but gave Loren a completely opposite feeling.
"Alright. Remember to manage Anna's meals in the future, don't let her eat until she gets a stomachache again."
"Yes..."
Loren's words made Corolla nervous. She felt the days ahead wouldn't be easy. She really wouldn't dare to manage Anna, but Anna seemed easy to talk to, so it probably wouldn't be too difficult.
"Me, me, me! And me!
"My name is Flossie, please choose me! Let me show you a trick first!"
After Seraphina and Corolla were chosen one after another, another maid panicked and immediately started performing.
She took out three apples, took a bite out of an apple and threw it into the air, repeating the cycle, throwing apples while eating.
Seeing this scene, Naclis's eyes instead lit up. Since she was this abstract, she probably couldn't pose a threat to her. Maybe she could even bother others. So Naclis resolutely chose her.
"Do any of you have other requests?"
Both Anna and Naclis had picked the ones they wanted. Anyway, Loren was originally hiring them to help the girls, so it was normal to let them choose.
"I think we could not choose any at all. If you want a maid, I could make a guest appearance."
"Forget it. The reason I'm looking for maids is to save you all some trouble. If it weren't for Mirrorheart strongly insisting, I wouldn't even plan to let her continue working."
At the beginning, when Loren hadn't risen up and couldn't afford servants, it was normal for Mirrorheart to be busy. But now it's completely unnecessary;
it's just that Mirrorheart likes it this way.
"I have no requests."
Luna always thought she was destined to take care of others. Having her current life was already very good, and she didn't need others to take care of her.
Even at Loren's place, she washed her own clothes. She would feel really embarrassed being taken care of by others. If Mirrorheart didn't stop her from helping, Luna would want to wash clothes and cook with her.
"I think none of them are necessary."
Laila said with feigned calmness. After eating here, she had also become a bit possessive of the food.
"Abah abah..."
Loren looked at Scarlett. She couldn't say anything coherent, so Loren ignored her.
"Alright, you three are the new maids. But don't be disappointed, the rest of you;
there's compensation for you."
Seeing someone get chosen because of performing a trick, the other two panicked. Fortunately, Loren promptly placated them.
Loren gave each of them ten gold coins, which already exceeded their annual salary. However, they still felt a bit regretful.
...
"What are you all good at?"
"I'm good at performing tricks!"
Flossie was the first to raise her hand. Loren suddenly regretted choosing her a little. She seemed a bit off.
"I'm good at everything, and I do everything better than anyone else."
Seraphina brushed aside a strand of her hair, revealing a flawless smile.
Her height was about the same as Mirrorheart's, but because Mirrorheart wore high heels, she appeared a bit shorter than Mirrorheart.
"I..."
Seeing that everyone else had special skills, Corolla suddenly felt at a loss.
"Forget it, I'm too lazy to assign you tasks. All of you, listen to Mirrorheart."
After giving these instructions, Loren returned to his room. He needed to research how to deal with the Rainbow Plague.
Loren didn't want peace to be destroyed so early. At the very least, he needed the ability to slaughter Angels like dogs before he would completely tear off the facade.
So he hoped the Divine War would break out later, giving him more time to prepare.
If a certain god really devoured the authorities of other gods, the difficulty of dealing with that god would increase exponentially.
