Chapter 4 - William Hildenman

In the study room there are 2 people who are sitting, the one who is sitting in the study room seems to be Mr. William. His face still looks quite young and handsome with a slightly messy beard. And beside him stood a very beautiful and elegant maidservant whose hair color was golden yellow.

"Gentlemen, please have a seat, and Cinnamon will you please get some drinks and snacks for our guests."

"Okay senpai..."

Cinnamon immediately went to get drinks and snacks for the guests.

Then the old servant and the young master then sat down, after being invited to sit by this golden haired female servant.

"Good afternoon gentlemen, my name is Annabelle, the head maid of this mansion and next to me is Mr. William Hildenman."

"Good afternoon Miss and Mr. William, I'm Albert Chaffer"

"And I am..is Westly Richard"

For some reason the young master seemed quite nervous to see Annabelle. Annabelle does have a beauty like an angel that can make men crazy when they sees her, but it seems this young master can't let go of his nervousness so he stutters out words.

"You were sent here by that damn father huh?"

"Master, please don't say things like that in front of our guests, even though that old man is a pervert and always causes trouble for us, but we must still respect him in front of guests"

"Saying something like a pervert is still respectful? I'm just annoyed, because he always brings troublesome problems for us to solve when our company's work is still piling up like this."

"Yes sir William, Father Coldberg sent us here. Because he said you are experts to solve problems like this"

"Well actually it's not my main job, I'm just a businessman in the transportation sector around this area who happens to be forced to help out with the troublesome tasks like this from church and..."

"Master, you know that some things from the church must be kept secret, right?"

"Okay.. well.. I just wanted to explain a little to them that I'm not an expert. But just a person who often experiences strange things, and is also forced by the church to do things like this… Yes, somethings like that."

Feeling strange about the existence of this mansion and his head that has a myriad of questions with the strange place and weird gardener. Make the young master subconsciously ask his question.

"Strange things? Does it make sense to have a mansion in a place like this and live close to the forest? And why do you have such an odd gardener too? And if you have a business in the transportation sector, wouldn't it be a little better to live in a small town nearby?"

"Quite a reasonable reason young master. It's quite strange that someone would want to live in a place so far from the crowds like this. And gardener you mean Gylebrat? If he dresses strangely like that, just assume it's because he had some disease that can't stand the sun so he has to dress like that. But can you guess the reason why I have to stay in a place like this?"

"Reason? Hmm.. If you look at the mansion you have, the collection of artistic objects in it, odd gardener and you have such a strange job now besides your own business. So the reason why you chose to live in a place like this, maybe you really researched things like this? Or continue research like your teacher?"

"The answer is not quite right young master. But, you could say that I'm only looking after Master's legacy here. By the way, how do you know that I have a teacher, young master? Ah Cinnamon must have told you huh.."

"It seems like that one child still needs to be given a 'lesson' huh?"

Annabelle's face that had looked like an angel became a little scary. The young master who was always fascinated by her beauty, twitched at the head maid change and the scary slight aura she emitted.

"I'm very sorry Mr. William, we didn't mean to remind you with your teacher. Young master please be careful when you speak. We've been warned not to talk about it."

"I.. I'm just explaining my analysis based on what I saw and heard."

"Miss Cinnamon just told us about the collection art that you had is your teacher's. And we need to be careful when talking about your teacher Mr. William. She didn't talk about anything else, please don't be angry at her."

"Ah.. I don't have any problem. Do I look that fragile? Hey Annabelle, what did you order the other maids regarding my teacher?"

Annabelle sighed and glanced at him as if she couldn't believe what her master had just said.

"It's not important now and we can talk about it later master. How about we better focus on our guest's main problem?"

Then William stood holding Annabelle's chin and brought her face closer where they could kiss in a few centimeters.

"You're so cold Annabelle, you've always been the most serious but I didn't expect you to be this cold to me."

"Enough joking master, we are in front of guests. And you must remember that although I am only a head maid in this mansion, my other main duty is to be your assistant."

Annabelle then lowered her master's hand that was holding her chin.

"Besides, you don't want to get a reputation like that perverted father, do you? I know you don't like this job, but you have to remember that we have a contract with the church. And maintaining a reputation in front of guests with any job we accepted will come in handy sometime in the future."

"I'm just kidding Annabelle, you don't need to be so serious. I know the time and place too. Besides that, I'm just teasing with my pretty maids."

Annabelle looked at him once again in disbelief.

"What kind of look of disbelief is that Annabelle?!"

"Please be a little serious sir. It's better if we immediately listen to their problems and solve them, right? Don't you want to settle your mounting business problems, sir?"

Annabelle said it while pointing out the pile of papers work that already piling out to the right and left side of the table. This made William surprised and come back to his senses. He had to immediately finish the client's work in front of him before he could finish the work that had piled up..

"Alright, enough of the small talk and joking. So, can you guys start telling me what problem you have?"
