Chapter 3 - I am just hiring a cook and a maid!

"A cook and a maid?", Anna's father gave a confused look.

"Yes, just a cook and a maid. Last time when I went to the town, I been hearing people talking about how well the house keeping skills your daughter has. Due to her loss of mother quite early in her life, it seem she did well fulfilling her role in her place."

( I absolutely bullshit that but Anna does have great house keeping skills. It one of her many traits when she was first introduced to the player in the demo.)

"Well you see this mansion has a severe lack of women, yes elegant women that does houseworks. All I have currently is just bunch of rough dudes in their late 30s and 40s working for me. Plus they're all muscle and no brain! I told them to ask you two about employment opportunities and yet they forcefully bring you here!"

"..." he stare at Edgar suspiciously.

"You did tried to court her though."

"Yes, someone as pretty as your daughter of course I will give it a try. I am a healthy young man after all. Any how back to the main topic, I also hear that you're a retired chef from a famous restaurant in the capital right? So how about it?"

"Can I see Anna?"

"Of course you can! I still need you to clear up some misunderstanding between me and her. Apparently after my men forcefully brought you in, she though I kidnapped you to blackmailed her. She think I lust after her! Well I do appreciate beauty, I have you know that I am a righteous and noble person!"

(What an acting skills, I deserved Oscar for that one. I don't think he completely trust me but the tension is certainly lower than before.)

"Frederick!"

"I am here milord"

"I need you to do something... (whisper into his ear)"

"It will be done shortly."

He bow and left the room.

"Well now, let go see your daughter shall we?"

After led him around the mansion on an extended walk, Edgar brought him to the living room.

"Father!"

"Anna!"

The father and daughter immediately embraced each other. This scene will have people think he is some villain who is gonna separate them.

"Lady Anna, I see that you're even more gorgeous in this dress!", Edgar trying to act friendly.

He had Frederick moved her from his room to here and as well as gave her a proper clothe to wear. He can't allow her father see her wearing a clothe like that and inside his room as well.

Anna is truly a pretty woman, long brown hair, big eye, small nose and a pretty mouth. Her most prominent feature is that chest of her's, It's big! Edgar in his previous life was already thinking of getting her sole ending in the game when he play the game. She just hit every single one of his strike zones. It will be great to have her as a maid, much better than staring at bunch of dudes, Edgar fantasizes.

"Lady Anna, I believe Frederick had explained everything to you right? I sincerely apologize for causing any troubles before. I will also have my men apologize directly."

With a clap of his hand six men walk in.

"Bunches of muscle ape with no brain! I told you guys to be gentle! Do you know what gentle mean? It mean not doing it by force you fucking apes! You are representing your lord out there, you are ruining my reputations!"

Lowered their head with a frown face, each of the six men can't understand what their lord is saying but can only go with it.

(Weren't you the one who like that woman and want her for yourself? That why you ordered us to kidnapped her father. Also since when you care about your reputation?)

All six can't but felt being wronged by their master.

"Ok, as for the punishment, all you six's salaries will be deducted for this month and be given to lady Anna and her father as compensation for this trouble. Go back to work."

"Yes milord" each of the six said in a extreme pitiful voice and leaves.

Turning his face back to the father and daughter, they gave him a surprise look.

"Father, wasn't the lord said to be an unreasonable person? How come he is so different now?", she whispered.

"I don't know either."

Seeing as they whisper to each other, Edgar began to worry if they are still suspicious of him.

"Regarding the job opportunities, I hope you two will consider it. I could use more people. Also working for me meant you two are under my protection. If there any troubles, you can come directly to me."

"Can you give us some time to think about it?", the father answered first.

"Sure, no need to rush anything. So if you do consider it please come and see Frederick, he is my butler and manage most of this mansion's business. If there nothing else he also will sent you two back to town."

"Wait, I hear Roy is here too and is being locked up. Can you release him too?", Anna spoke up.

(Shit, how did I forgot that about one?)

He facepalmed himself and hoping the good points he earned doesn't go soured with this one.

"Frederick!"

"Yes milord, how can I help?"

"Bring us to that childhood friend of lady Anna."

They went to the guard's room and there is Roy, tie to a rope on a chair. Finally they had met, the protagonist of "New Fantasy 15" and the throw-away villain. He is quite young, sixteen years old, has an attractive face that definitely can capture the hearts of many women.

"Anna and uncle!? You bastard what did you do to them!" in a angry voice he shout toward Edgar.

"Nothing kiddo, also watch your mouth. I am merely giving them both an opportunity to work here in this mansion. Not what you think."

"Liar, everyone can see you tried to court her and when you failed you kidnapped uncle to blackmail her!"

"Whatever you think, guards, release him.", he gave the order in a nonchalant tone.

(I am not tiring myself with this again.)
