825 First story: Hidden encounters

The daughter was brought to Jan about a year and three months ago - a paragraph of disturbance surrounding the Count Turan family, and it was only a short while ago.

In the cook at Count Dalaim's house, Jan was preparing under dinner that day. So Shayla, the samurai, came with her daughter.

"Um, Master Yang... this is Nicolas, who is going to be helping Jan with her work from today on."

Instead of Shayla, who looked puzzled, her daughter, Nicola, had stripped her of her defiance. She was noble, but on top of herself, who was to live as a civilian because of her great sin.

Shayla, who is still young, will also have a part to lose track of how she should treat these opponents.

But for Jan, who has lived nearly three times as long as Shayla, it wasn't even about being moved. Nobility comes from the beginning as nobility, but it is not always possible to remain noble until the end. It was not so uncommon to lose identity and property and to fall a nobleman, especially in recent years, because of the flourishing power struggle centered around the Count Turan family.

(Besides, this girl broke herself for her own evil deeds. If so, there are reasons to be emotional)

Jan, complacent that honesty was the only handle, thought so.

And don't even let that kind of inside out on the yawn, and Jan lets you try to give her a round of praise as usual.

"Nice to meet you. My name is Jan, and I'm the head chef here."

"... nice to meet you. My name is Nicolas."

Though the tone and the material waist were polite, there is still an evil look on its face. I guess it is only in so far as humiliation is concerned that nobles live as civilians.

(And this daughter hears that she cut off her soul-returned grandmother's wrist with a blade. I think about my sister's whereabouts, so it was an inevitable place to work... but still, I guess she's originally a rough daughter)

"Um," Nicola raised a pointy voice as Jan was silently testing her.

"So what kind of work shall I do?

"Oh...... I am looking to ask you to help me with my work in Accommodation Town"

"Accommodation town? Why are you, the Count's head chef, in such a place?

"There was a situation. But if it doesn't seem to go your way, get ready for another job"

Nicola lifted her eyebrows and said away.

"I will surely fulfill any work! Don't insult me just because I'm a noble daughter!

"I'm not insulting anything. But you serve this house today. Can you say that attitude is worthy of it?

Nicola lowered her head slightly as she let her lips crouch like a toddler.

"... I'm sorry. Thank you for your forgiveness."

"If that word is not false, then nothing is wrong. But in the Inn Town, you're going to work with people from the city well. There seems to be some disrespect there, and this job is boring."

Nicola shuddered her shoulders small as she bit her lips.

"… Do you think I am looking down on the servant man because I was born of nobility? If so, that's a misunderstanding. I am above all averse to people in that capacity."

"Really? So you're not looking down on me."

"Naturally. I was just... careful not to lose my job. I apologize again and again for any disrespect."

Jan thought to herself, "Oh." Nicolas still had a tough face, but he didn't look like he was making excuses to sneeze on the spot.

"It's hard to come to work with seriousness, but you don't need to elbow that much. A little more, you might want to help."

"But I -!", Nicola swallowed the words there.

Jan said, "What's up?," and make him nod.

"From today on, I will be your superior. If you have any thoughts, I'd like to ask you not to hide them."

"... nothing like that, it's not a big story. However, I... have to survive by rinsing the muddy water."

Jan felt like she understood Nicolas' mood.

Nicola's sister committed a greater sin than she did and was sentenced to imprisonment. Since this sister was talking about no other intimacy, I guess Nicolas won't even be able to welcome her sister, who would have been released sooner or later, if she hadn't stood up as a person in the city well.

(Besides, the young gardener, who was Nicolas' thinker, was also told that he had been imprisoned. The gardener talked about just lending a hand to Nicola's evil deeds... but after all, the fact that civilians deceived nobles and guards has led to him being sentenced to heavier sentences than Nicola)

Then it is also natural for Nicolas to disagree with the Kingdom's identity system.

Besides, if you were originally the kind of person who weighed the identity system, you couldn't have made love to a gardener.

(If so, don't worry about her working rudeness to the people of Innkeeper Town)

Jan felt calm and saw Nicolas.

Nicolas then dyes her cheeks red, keeping them in a rugged face.

"Duh, why are you laughing like that?

"Were you laughing? I apologize for that. Now, I'll explain the steps of the job, so please clear your hands."

Nicola glanced at Jan with a red face before heading toward the water bottle that was ready on the edge of the cook.

Shayla whispers to Jan as she drops off that little hindsight.

"Um... I'm sure she doesn't seem as rough as she looks. I'm sure you have a delicate temper, so you're prone to spilling emotions?

"Yeah, I think so too"

When Jan answered that way, Shayla gladly lowered her mouth.

Along with Nicolas, Shayla was planning to help Jan with her work. Shayla had such a soft temper and was a compassionate daughter that she felt optimal as Nicola's work companion, who would be deeply wounded in the heart.

(My cook is going to be noisier than ever)

Jan was in her heart and snapped like that.

Jan worked with the Forestside cooks on the task of spreading novel ingredients to the Inn Town.

Jan never imagined, such as withholding fifty years of age close and making her life so noisy - unexpectedly, those days were popping Jan's mind.

(If you put yourself in such a noisy day, Nicola won't have a lot of time to be sad either)

Jan thought so as she saw Nicolas coming back here on the top of the Buddha.
