Chapter 131 - To The Point
When the two of them heard the word \'also,\' at first, they were confused, but then they saw the elf maid they hypnotized was standing with a confused face.
"Yes, my lady," Laura answered first while kneeling before Leona.
When Annie saw Laura, she was rendered speechless. She then felt a cold gaze from Leona. "I am the same, my lady." Annie demonstrates the same move as Laura, kneeling in front of Leona.
Leona\'s face twitched when she saw these two beauties are their maids now. She then looked at her son and found him looking back at her with a smile.
"All those new maids, I\'m the one recruiting them, mother." With Desmond\'s words, the pressure Leona was putting on Annie and Laura loosened up.
After seeing this, Desmond returned to continue telling his reason why he was looking for new maids.
....
After hearing the excuses from her son, Laura didn\'t know whether to praise or scold him. The main reason is that the maids in this house have a more lively atmosphere, unlike the puppet on command, and to refine the disguise of their families\' strength against the kingdom.
Of course, Desmond didn\'t say anything about his experiment with this elf; he also told the other maids to either forget the experimental words he carelessly said or about the incident that caused his hand to disappear.
He told all the maids to act normal and only accept the news that he was actually bitten by the Husk Wolf he bought.
Besides, he also did not tell his parents about the class he had just acquired, and for the change of race, he used the excuse of a husk wolf bite to trick them.
Sometimes telling all the information I know isn\'t good either, even to my parents, Desmond thought.
"In my opinion, the reason is quite reasonable. "Bastian opened his mouth; he looked serious while supporting Desmond.
Laura rolled her eyes when she saw this. Just say you want to have a cute, beauty and fresh new maid! She snapped in her mind.
Leona then fell silent, seeming to be seriously thinking about this. While Desmond was already feeling nervous, if there were no Laura or Annie, his plan\'s success would have decreased by at least 50%.
"Mother, I actually have one important reason that could make you support my decision." Desmond hastily opened his mouth when he saw the motion of his mother\'s lips which seemed to want to say \'no.\'
Leona saw her son, as did Bastian. They both are attracted by the \'reason\' that makes their son confident.
Before Desmond could explain, he looked at his new maids and motioned to leave the room.
After seeing all the maids leave, including the one who had previously called Annie and Laura, Desmond looked at his mother.
Leona understood what her son meant when she saw all the maids leave. She chanted an incantation while closing her eyes.
"Advance Spell: World Isolation!"
An invisible dimension suddenly formed from the middle between Leona\'s palms. The invisible dimension then slowly expanded until it finally covered the entire room.
At first, Desmond couldn\'t feel anything, but then he realized that the sound of the wind gusts that usually entered through the doors, windows, and roof of their house was no longer heard.
Bastian just remained silent and calm seeing this situation, but there was something flashed in his eyes. After Desmond felt that this dimension was working, he looked back at his parents.
"Actually, I just want to take them to go with me to the academy," Desmond stated calmly, causing his parents to widen their eyes.
Before they opened their mouths, Desmond cut in. "Of course, that would be impossible for that elf maid case; I just felt like something big happened will happen there."
"Is this related to your elder sister kidnapping case, Alice? "This time, it was Bastian who asked. It seems that he is earnest about this.
"Actually, we also had investigative on cases that, but we could not find the information useful," Leona added and narrowed her eyes at her son.
"Don\'t look at me like that; I just told the new maids to investigate it, and they got good results." Desmond paused for a moment. " Therefore, this ability can already prove them useful."
Desmond knew if he was telling the truth that he got the information himself by sneaking into the enemy base and losing his hand in exchange.
Instead of being proud or grateful, his parents would punish him if it was true, or the other reaction is, they couldn\'t possibly believe in his power.
Desmond thought it is possible that they still don\'t feel safe even with protection from the kingdom.
Leona and Bastian were silent for a while when they heard Desmond\'s answer. It was true that they couldn\'t possibly believe it if their son had said that he got this information from his actions, but thinking about this possibility, they couldn\'t deny that either.
"If this information is correct, then we can also go to the city with you -"
Leona wanted to continue her words, but Bastian suddenly cut her off, "- No honey, we can\'t go with our son. At least after you take care of the stacked report. " Bastian stretched his hand forward to stop his wife from speaking further.
When Leona heard this, her spirits grew dim. Her husband just reminded her of a very troublesome thing. "Umm ... won\'t we be able to do that next year?" Leona leaning on her husband\'s chest while acting spoiled.
Leona is a Master Witch, where she has to make a report every month, which will be submitted to the king. Unlike Bastian, he only needed to carry out his duties calmly.
Because of this, when Leona watched her husband casually without a troublesome task, she then tried to procrastinate the task until it ended up piling up.
" No. Do you want Noel to punish you again?" Bastian answers his wife firmly and strictly. He still remembers that his wife complained about the punishment from their friend, Noel, had given her.
Remembering this, Leona\'s expression turned ugly. She looked away and then tried to change the topic.
"What\'s your plans to bring the maids into the academy?" Leona remembers clearly that the academy rules state that it is forbidden to bring pets and maids accompany them to the academy.
But a second later, Leona swallowed her words. She turned and saw Annie and Laura, who were chatting with the other maids.
I see, so they just need a false identity... thought Leona as she nodded in agreement.
Seeing his mother, who was quick to understand, Desmond felt a little happy. Having an intelligent person in the family really saves energy! Thought Desmond.
While he and his mother understood, Desmond secretly glanced at his father and saw him staring at them like statues in silence.
After completing this important matter, then Desmond talked about his desire to hone all his skills, from the sword to learning new spells.
"Father, I actually wanted to ask for some information regarding sword techniques."
When Bastian heard this, he immediately looked at his son and gave him a thumbs up. " Sure, are we going to practice now? "Asked Bastian with enthusiasm wandering in his eyes.
* bang *
"Ouch ...." but then Bastian felt something big hit his head. He turned and saw his wife.
"Stupid, aren\'t you tired ?! we just arrived without sleeping all day in the horse-drawn carriage. " Leona, who had just reminded her husband, also looked tired, and even a wrinkle could be seen in the corners of her eyes.
"Hahaha ..." Bastian laughed awkwardly. "That\'s right, as your mother said, we\'ll do it tomorrow."
Desmond was speechless; he just nodded at the answer from his father. "I also want mother to teach me some spells."
"Eh? Aren\'t you mastering enough spells already? "During the trip, she also heard rumors that Desmond had defeated a former noble\'s son twice with a very domineering spell.
"It\'s just a built-in elemental spell," Desmond answered honestly with a wry smile. It is true, though even his energy is equivalent to the 2nd Wizard, the spell controlled only limited to that.
For example, the spell her mother chanted can only be stored in the system; he still has to understand how it works in order to learn the spell.
"Well, I can only teach you a little because your elements are not suitable with my spell works," Leona answered after considering what spells to teach her son.
Leona added, "Besides, you can learn this later at the academy. Are you sure?" Leona asked once again to confirm her son\'s intentions.
She thought Desmond was wasting his youth time just learning the same spell twice, considering that a beautiful girl was waiting for him in the future.
"Of course, mother. The sooner, the better." Desmond\'s face twitched as he understood what his mother meant but the last part...
He wanted to tell her and say it was just a transaction to help a friend, not that he really loved Diana to the point of proposing to her.
