Chapter 68 Service

Billis knew he was awake, but it felt like a dream; his eyes seemed to fly to the sky with his thoughts, where he saw the vast ocean on land.

There was a small island with boats at both ends, and snow-capped mountains on it. Several mermaids waited at the entrance of the waterway for the uncouth sailors.

A little further on, the view gradually opened up, and wherever Billis's thoughts went, there was the sight of the sea.

Suddenly, my gaze swept over a patch of wreckage. The area of ​​the scattered floating debris was as large as a village. The largest piece was a brown wooden pillar, which was probably part of the tavern's main hall.

Billis felt terrible. His gaze continued to wander across the sea and sky, where the same wreckage appeared every kilometer.

Just as I was about to see the culprit, my thoughts suddenly stopped, and my vision went blank.

He arrived at a place wider than the sea, a place that does not exist in any corner of the earth, and those who enter can never come out.

Eyesight was blocked; only ears were ringing.

They could barely hear the sounds of the outside world. A group of barefoot imps were standing on the scorching lava, holding pitchforks, followed by a large number of three-headed hounds.

The demons were chattering as they herded some prisoners to one place, then locked them in cages, followed by sounds that could only be heard in hell.

Struggle and resistance.

Just then, someone outside mentioned the agent's name.

"Master? Master? Master?"

The voice, filled with an air of mystery, seemed to come from a cave. Strangely enough, the little devils became docile after hearing the voice, and the creatures in the cages gave up struggling.

Thoughts traveled back to the sea, broke through the white sky, fell into the castle, and entered the body.

This wandering thought has finally returned home, but Billy's body is still weak and powerless, remaining in a state of half-awake and half-asleep.

Billis was surprised by his own physical condition, not expecting to recover so slowly. In the past, he would have been full of energy after a good night's sleep.

Unable to get out of bed, not only is the body weak, but even moving the dry lips is difficult.

There was someone hiding outside the room. By carefully observing through the crack in the door, I realized that the person who had been calling for the master was her.

Billy deliberately shifted his body on the bed, making a noise that startled the person at the door.

It's certain that she is not Lisa.

That leaves only Elsa.

Billis said, "Come out. You're part of this family too. Why are you hiding from me?"

Aisha gently pushed open the door, and Billy looked at her as if she had walked out of a holy light, as if she were an angel only seen in palaces, dressed in luxurious attire, her eyes a deadly poison to every man who desired her.

You've become even more perfect after three weeks apart.

But Billis was unmoved by her beautiful face; Aisha's soul, body, and mind were all very simple, as pure as a blank sheet of paper.

As soon as she entered the room, she innocently said, "Master, are you feeling better? I'm yours from now on."

As if he'd been slapped across the face several times with a horse's tail, Billis asked, "Who taught you to say that?"

"Yes, Mrs. Lisa,"

"Is that really how she taught you to speak?"

Elsa looked like a child who had done something wrong, her hands trembling as she clutched her princess dress, unsure of what to do.

Billis's energy has recovered somewhat, his hearing is sharper, and he speaks more forcefully.

He could have gotten out of bed and put on his shoes by himself, but Aisha quickly ran to the bedside in the manner of serving her master, squatted down, and pulled the boots out from under the bed.

This series of actions made Billy feel uncomfortable and even annoyed.

“I’ll do it myself!” Billy shouted.

Elsa held the boots tightly and said, "Don't do that, my master. You've just woken up from a dream. How can you have the strength to put on shoes?"

"You said I don't have the strength to put on my shoes!"

Billy got angry and insisted on stepping barefoot onto the floor, but before he could even stand up, he fell headfirst back onto the bed.

He really didn't have the strength to put on his shoes.

"Mrs. Lisa is right, you do need to be served."

"Alright then, let me lie down for a while longer, but please don't put on my shoes, and I'll dress myself."

Elsa learned very quickly under Lisa's tutelage, mastering the basic skills of human life in just a few days, from washing clothes to cooking.

Since all activities are currently confined to the castle, she hasn't yet mastered communication. From the few sentences just now, it's clear that she might have a misunderstanding and not clearly distinguish between family members and servants.

There are still many skills to learn, including how to maintain one's dignity.

Billie lay on the bed, the dome adorned with constellation patterns and cute little foam elephants, oval ducks separating plastic penguins from the other animals by two-thirds, and a clumsy big bear tied in the middle.

The bear circled around its head like a star, and all the other animals circled around it.

Something just doesn't feel right.

This is not the agent couple's room at all!

“Who brought me here?” Billis asked.

Elsa learned all her skills from Lisa and listens to her very much, but when Lisa is not around, Elsa doesn't know how to cope.

Billis understood that Aisha was still a child at heart, so he stopped shouting.

It's easier to fall asleep in quiet environments.

Just as his thoughts were about to soar to the heavens, Aisha suddenly said, "Before Mistress Lisa left, she instructed me to serve you well. I carried you to my room because, because it's more convenient here."

Billy felt a chill run down his spine. He sat up in bed again and asked, "Where did Lisa go?"

“She said, ‘We’re on a mission. She’s also an agent and part of the family. You can’t bear this responsibility alone.’”

"While I was still asleep, who came to the castle?"

"An elemental being, who looks fierce but speaks very kindly."

"Rich from the intelligence department! What else do you know?"

"Before leaving, Lisa opened a door from underground, and long flames shot out from it. She said to me, 'I'll be back on the Leviathan coast in a few days. Please look after him for me in the meantime.'"

Billy sat quietly on the bed, feeling frustrated that Lisa had to go out and take over his work, even though he needed a long rest.

So he stood up, and just as he was about to lean against the wall to go out, he tripped and fell on the ground.

Nevertheless, he remained nonchalant about what had just happened, and this imposing agent mustered all his courage to open the door.

The murals in the corridor were cleaned spotlessly. The hunting, snake catching, and eagle chasing scenes were different from before, making sensitive people afraid to approach, as if they had all come to life overnight.

In the courtyard, at the end of the first tree, hung out to dry beautiful boots that had been worn out in the mountains, an awkward dress, a winter coat that wasn't worn often, dark trousers, and a pretty top hat.

From the bedroom to the hallway, from the kitchen to the living room, Elsa kept every item in the castle perfectly organized.

It can be said that she learned all the housework in just three weeks, and she became proficient in sweeping, cooking, and washing.

She practically worked as a servant in the castle, taking on the dirtiest and most tiring jobs without ever feeling unhappy.

What a sensible child!

So Billy called Aisha to his side, patted her head, and said, "I want to go to Queens County. Do you want to come along?"

Elsa had never traveled far from home! Her only memory was of this castle; she didn't even know where Queensshire was, and she had never been to a forest, let alone a snow-capped mountain or the sea.

All her common sense came from Lisa, and she knew nothing about the Great Reboot.

Elsa was overjoyed by Billis's words, and her mind suddenly became as active as a mouse emerging from its hole.

"Master! Master! Master! Can I take my little backpack with me?"

“You can even bring a doll.”

In the blink of an eye, Billis became so kind and gentle that Aisha couldn't figure out what had influenced her master, nor did she bother to ponder the meaning behind the smile on her master's face.

"Master? Why are we going there?" Aisha asked.

Billis replied softly, "That's where Lisa and I originally lived, and it's also the place where I brought you home."

"Why don't I remember anything?"

"Perhaps, you had just hatched from your egg at that time."

"Do you need me to carry you and fly?"

“No! No need! I’m much better, really!” Billis suddenly looked up at Aisha and said, “You’ve always been a member of the family, Aisha. Please don’t use the word ‘serve’ anymore.”

"Understood, Master!"

"The word 'master' cannot be used either!"
