"I believe that you're not a bad person. I believe in you!" Trish looked Rennes straight in the eye and said.
After that, Trish lowered her head and continued to eat the delicious food.
After all, she had worked hard for many days. A good meal was not easy to come by.
Seeing the dragon girl wolf down her food, Rennes felt a little helpless. It seemed that the girl was determined to stay no matter what.
"Tomorrow, your job is to trim my garden and add some kindling to the fireplace in my house. If you don't know how to do these things, you can ask the other maids in the palace!" Rennes said.
"My lord?"
Trish's eyes widened. She did not understand. Didn't she fail?
Why would he...
But now was not the time to think of the reason. Joy sprouted on Trish's face.
In her excitement, the chicken meat that she had yet to swallow fell down from her mouth onto her chest.
Trish did not notice Rennes averting his gaze slightly.
"Great! Now there's a chance of dealing with the Black Storm! I can also contact my kins so that the dragon race from the Far North won't go extinct!
"You're indeed a good person, my lord. As expected of someone who came from the Abyss. You're different from the other humans!"
Trish's mind was filled with ideas about Rennes. In her mind, Rennes was almost a saint.
"What are you waiting for? If you're done eating, hurry up and get to work!"
A calm voice broke Trish's imagination.
"Oh!" Trish smiled in embarrassment. She quickly wiped her mouth and walked out.
But after she walked past Rennes and reached the door, she suddenly turned her head around.
Her eyes were full of stars as she looked at Rennes. It was as if the man standing in front of her had a halo on his head that subconsciously sucked her in. She mumbled to herself, "Your body smells so good, my lord!"
"Let's go. I'll arrange a place for you to stay in and a clean set of clothes for you to change into. I don't like my maid dirty!"
After Rennes had walked far away, Trish, who was still in a daze, quickly followed after him.
After returning to the palace, Rennes prepared a place for Trish to stay in. The place was right next to his residence. If there was anything he needed her to do, she could come to him right away.
As the Chief Consul, he naturally had his own personal residence.
The magic plants outside his window were growing wildly. Some of the weeds were affected by magic energy. They grew crazily and had almost covered the walls completely.
Seeing Rennes gesturing with his eyes, Trish rolled up her sleeves, full of energy.
"Trish will help milord right away!" said Trish.
"Good. Control your strength. If you destroy the wall, there will be no dinner for you tonight!"
Rennes casually reminded her. He smiled when he saw Trish's sad face.
Then, he left the palace and went to Lifa's administrative hall.
When he arrived at the administrative hall, Lifa was sitting at her table, dealing with something.
There were many sheepskin books on the table. They recorded the various crimes that the Lucas family had committed, and were the result of the law enforcement officers' investigation in the last two days.
If all these crimes were reported, they were enough for the entire Lucas family to die more than ten times over.
Obviously, some of the crimes recorded had made Lifa extremely angry. Judging from her furrowed brows, she was not in a good mood.
"How is it? Has the dragon girl been dealt with?"
Seeing Rennes enter, Lifa raised her head and forced a tired smile.
"Yes, I made her my maid!" Rennes replied.
Lifa's eyes flashed with surprise at Rennes' words.
Although her heart stirred, she did not say anything.
After all, Rennes was free to do what he wanted.
Moreover, Rennes must have considered it carefully before he decided to keep her by his side.
But no matter what, the girl was still a dragon. If she was exposed, Rennes might be accused of colluding with the dragon race and being a traitor to the human race. His reputation would be affected.
Lifa wanted to say something to him, even if it was just explaining what she was thinking, but seeing Rennes' calm eyes, she forcefully swallowed what she wished to say.
Because right now, there was an even more urgent matter that she needed to discuss with Rennes.
"Lord Rennes, we've investigated the Lucas family's crimes. I plan to hold a public trial against them in the Capital Square in a week's time!" Lifa said.
"Good!" Rennes only nodded.
"In addition, the nobles plan to hold a banquet. All the nobles in the kingdom will be attending. The banquet will be held tonight, at the Sound of the Night Hotel in the northeast corner of the capital.
"They invited both of us. I've already accepted the invitation myself.
"I think the nobles plan to put aside their pride and try to gain our trust.
"Will you go?" Lifa's voice suddenly became nervous when she asked the last question.
After all, in a sense, this could be considered a date.
At least, Lifa thought so in her heart.
She looked at Rennes with anticipation in her eyes.
"I guess I will!" Rennes naturally noticed the glint in Lifa's eyes and answered with a smile.
Rennes was actually feeling pretty bored every day.
The increase in the mysterious light spots in his body had become a new joy in his daily life.
Of course Rennes would not miss the opportunity to face the entire nobility faction.
It would be great if some incidents could happen.
It would give him a chance to solve the problem and make an impact on the world.
That way, the number of mysterious light spots in his body might increase.
Although the specific function of the mysterious light spots was not immediately obvious at the moment, Rennes believed that there would come a day when quantitative changes would lead to qualitative changes.
Hearing Rennes' affirmative reply, Lifa inwardly heaved a sigh of relief. She was afraid that Rennes might find it troublesome and refuse the invitation.
After all, she herself was extremely annoyed and disgusted with some parts of the nobles' lifestyle.
"There's one more thing, Lord Rennes. I want to formally promote the method written in "Introduction to Magic" to the entire kingdom!"
"Currently, the Noah Kingdom is lacking in military strength. Our neighboring countries are all making military preparations. The retaliation from the Raytheon Empire is also a major hidden danger. The formation of a strong army is imperative. But I feel that I have to ask for your permission first, Lord Rennes!
"This revolutionary masterpiece will surely become popular throughout the entire Arnold Continent very soon. At that time, a large number of mage apprentices will appear on the whole continent."
Lifa explained the possible impact of this matter logically, as well as the concern in her heart.
After all, Lifa did not know if Rennes had made any plans on the Arnold Continent.
If she caused a huge impact and disrupted his plans, she would lose Rennes' protection and the Noah Kingdom would be placed in danger.
Lifa stared at Rennes in silence, waiting for his reply.
