Chapter 234 The Maid

"What would you like?"

"Whatever you want, you can get something good."

One of the women walked slowly down, the woman who had been scalded by the hot water still standing where she was.

By accident, I found her staring at me secretly.

I take the initiative to make conversation to say: "you have been so standing not too tired? Sit down in the chair for a while."

She shook her head slightly.

I then stimulate with words: "you can't talk ah?"

"I can." She was startled: "Is not before and the leader have spoken?"

I laughed, and after a moment of tension, she laughed too. I stopped laughing, and she stopped laughing too.

I continued, "Then why didn't you talk to me?"

Finally, she looked up at the stairs and whispered, "We're not allowed to talk to anyone."

"And that girl you were with, do you talk?"

She shook her head.

"Don't you talk in private when no one's around? Don't even need to chat?"

"No, the gods do not allow us to speak."

My in the mind a burst of depressed: "god and no wind ear and clairvoyant, private time how can know you chat."

"We just don't talk anyway, and we spy on each other, and if we get caught, there's punishment." As she spoke, there was a noise downstairs, and she stopped immediately.

When the woman brought the meal, she put it on the table. It's quite a feast. With meat and vegetables, the staple food is boxy steamed buns, which they probably have forgotten how to make.

Because the thing is quite many, I a person also can't finish, greeted them to say: "you two also eat together."

Both shook their heads.

"Let's eat. There's no one else."

The two men retreated a few steps. In the process of eating, I noticed swallowing movements in both of their throats.

"When are you going to eat?

"In a moment."

"Why don't you take turns eating, so one of you can always be here to wait on me?"

"We're in no hurry."

"Go." I pointed to the woman who was serving food and said, "You have been working hard just now. You go first. If you do not obey me, when I see the gods, I will not blame you to the gods."

Both of them got down on their knees, said they were only little maids, and told me not to trouble them.

"If we do, we won't be in trouble." I purposely made it a little harsh.

The woman walked slowly down the hall. When the door closed, I stood up and took her hand. "Come and have dinner with me."

"No, chief." She could neither accept nor resist.

"Come on." I pushed her into a chair, and as there was only one set of chopsticks, I took out a dish, gave her the fork, and took out my dagger to serve as a cutlery.

After giving her a lot of food, when I put it into her hand, she said in bewilderment, "Chief, why are you so nice to me? I'm just a maid, and I don't deserve attention."

"Eat, eat more." I directly with the hand picked up a long spareribs gnawing: "you eat is not very bad?"

"Well, what we eat is prescribed, and we never get to eat anything like this, except on the god's birthday and special occasions."

I looked at her graceful figure and felt sorry for the people here. All men here, except the gods, seemed to be beasts of no position.

Seeing her eat a small mouth, I urged her to hurry up to eat, do not let the woman came back to see.

While she was eating, she began to cry.

I understand why, and I don't try to persuade.

After eating, she quickly wiped her mouth, looked at me and said: "Thank you leader, I still eat so many delicious for the first time."

I picked up an apple and gave it to her. "You can eat it when you're alone."

She gave a gentle hum and squeezed the apple tightly in her hand.

"What's your name?"

"Irene Brook."

"Irene, it sounds good. Which floor do you live in?"

Once again she looked astonished. "We don't have a home. We all live together."

"What about family?"

She shook her head sadly. "No, I don't even know who my mother is."

"Oh?" It is a curious thing, not knowing that the father would understand, not knowing that the mother would know, animals still know who their mother is.

Eileen explained that they are taken away at birth and given special care and upbringing before being trained intensively. In their minds, there is no concept of family. Everyone exists for only one purpose, and that is to be loyal to god.

"Can we be friends then?" I held out my hand.

"What is a friend?"

"Just two people who can talk quietly and look out for each other."

She hesitated for a moment, then put out her hand. Her hands were cool, but smooth.

As SOON as I grasped it, she drew back, looking very unaccustomed to the gesture.

In case the woman suspected anything, I told Erin to put the table away. Soon the woman came back.

Shut up in a small room with nothing to do, I stood at the window. The view from the round Windows was full of houses and few trees, and few people. This huge castle is a visual shock to the first comer, who will be horrified by its hellish truth after entering it.

Bored, I asked as I made my way to bed, "It's getting late. I'm going to bed. You two should go and have a rest, too."

Irene said, "We live downstairs, chief. You can call us if you need anything."

"Is there a sleeping place downstairs?"

"As soon as we have room, we can sleep."

"That...... Go to bed, then." Living a mechanical life, I can't understand how they can stay so content with the status quo.

There was an oil lamp in the room, and when I lay down I heard only a small noise from downstairs, and then nothing. When night falls completely, I also fall asleep. I had a dream that Li Wanxue took the initiative to come to my house. She was dressed in white and beautiful as a fairy from earth.

Late in the night, I vaguely heard footsteps. I stood up and saw Irene walking across the room to the bathroom. She was stunned.

"You go to the bathroom?"

She fell to her knees, blaming herself, saying, "I'm sorry to disturb your rest, chief."

"It's all right, you go." I waved my hand.

I waved to Irene as she came out of the bathroom. She went over to the bed and I patted it.

She said, removing the white veil that covered most of her face and revealing a pretty face, a half-breed face, delicate and delicate.

"This can be removed?"

She again HMM 1, began to begin to take off his clothes, I busy stop her hand: "you are going to do what?"

"Rest with the chief?"

"Rest with me?"

"Yes, chief, you are a distinguished guest, and we must grant you all your requests."

I never dreamed of such a beautiful thing, but MY heart did not waver. I'm not here to have sex.

I took her hand away. "Either that or I want you to sit here for a while."

"Don't you want me, chief, because you are good to me?" She looked extraordinarily incomprehension.

"Of course not. You've had guests before?"

She shook her head. "No, we don't have any guests here. You're the first one."

"Oh." I suddenly felt the need to give her some advice on gender. "Irene, since you're still a girl, you can't just give your body to a man. You have to learn to love and protect yourself. How will you ever get married?"

"Get married? What does it mean to marry?"

"It's marriage. A man and a woman start a family. Live a life together and have children, can you understand?"

"I seem to understand. We women do need to have children, but we're not allowed to live alone with any man all the time."

'And to be a maid all her life?

"Yes, but when we get old, we'll be thrown into the gluttonous pool, where there lives a dragon who eats people."

"Has anyone seen the dragon?" I felt more and more strange, obviously is a group of scientists team, now how completely play the ancient feudal superstition? I don't think civilization is going back so fast.

Irene said, "No one has seen it, but anyone who is thrown will be swallowed up. There will be nothing left. If the Gods say there is a dragon, there is a dragon."

Just then, there was a cough downstairs. I looked at a small voice of say: "you stay here for a while more have no matter of?"
