"Of course, I agree. Now what is it that I heard about compensation?" As a poor person in his previous life, his interest would be piqued whenever free money was mentioned.
"Yes, her highness is giving you money as compensation for breaking off this engagement. You should feel gratefu-"
"Alright, alright, give me the money first then you can continue with your ramblings."
Maid's face darkened after hearing that, she took out a pouch from her pocket and threw it at him.
"Careful with that, you might damage the coins" he quickly caught the pouch.
The maid snorted at his money hungry personality.
After catching the bag, it seemed like there was something wrong with it, it didn't feel as heavy as he thought it would be.
"Hmm. How much money is in there? Do you know miss?" he asked her.
"Hmph. There are 100 gold coins in that pouch, that is enough for you to live comfortably for a decade." she sneered.
"Oh, your princess is only worth that much? I heard someone saying that a night with the chief courtesan from the city's most famous brothel costs about 500 gold coins. I mean, you do the maths here, isn't 100 gold coins too low for your princess's hand?" He asked, scratching his chin.
"You! Do you know what you are saying? How dare you compare her highness to some whore? Guards this useless man has committed a treason by besmirching the princess's good name, teach him a lesson he won't ever forget." The maid yelled furiously.
The guards too, feeling enraged at his words, circulated their mana preparing to beat him unconscious.
'Tch, these guys are taking too much time to attack.'
He took a step forward and appeared in front of a guard and grabbed him by the collar and slammed him into the other guard's face.
Both of them flew off into the distance due to the impact and collided with a wall breaking it and fell unconscious on the ground.
The maid's jaw fell to the ground due to what happened to her guards.
"The-they are grandmasters and you, you casually threw them off like that? How is that possible?" she stuttered.
"Nevermind that, now tell me did that princess of yours really give only 100 gold coins as compensation?"
"Y-yes" she said feeling nervous.
"Is that so, but it's too little, I guess I will just go ask the princess myself for more" with that he turned around to leave.
"Wait, she gave this pouch also, you take it" she quickly stopped him and handed him another pouch.
Raymond smiled amiably at the maid and took the pouch, after weighing it in his hand, he frowned.
"This is also not much from before, I should just ask her directly for more money."
"You! How can you be so shameless? Remember she is your princess too, you can't just ask her for more money, she will feel insulted if you do that" she said indignantly.
"Hmm, she might be your princess but she ain't mine, my princess is sleeping in that room, now tell me where can I find your princess, I really need to discuss this compensation money and how her maid tried to keep it for herself" he said smiling.
The maid was flabbergasted by his shamelessness. She initially thought that she could just hand over 10 percent of what the princess gave and keep the rest for herself.
After all, this Raymond was a lost cause, he would simply waste the money by drinking, so she took it upon herself to give him some money and give the rest to her princess's fan club as a funding.
Moreover she didn't think Raymond would ask for more money, the Raymond she knew was a pushover, he would just take whatever was given to him.
Tears threatened to fall out of her eyes when she thought what would happen if he really went ahead and asked the princess and if she found out about her little involvement..
She shuddered thinking about the consequences. After all her princess was very prideful, she wouldn't forgive people who damaged her prestige.
"Y-you what do you want? I can do anything,please don't tell the princess." she pleaded, scared for her life.
"Hmm, You can do anything?" he thought aloud while roaming his eyes over her body.
She shivered feeling his eyes on her and backed off a little.
"You! I would rather die than give you my body"
"Tsk, who needs your body? I was looking at that necklace you are wearing, that does look expensive,hehe, how about you give it to me and I will not ask the princess for more" he said rubbing his hands.
"What? This necklace? It was passed down in my family from generations? It is my ancestors' prized possession. I won't give it to you." she was outright crying now.
"Oh, now I want it even more, hehe, do you think you can come here and disrespect me and walk all over me?" He sneered.
"If you don't give that necklace now, I will go to the princess, then you can meet your ancestors directly in the afterlife, I am sure they would be thrilled to know your adventures." he said smiling at her kindly.
To the maid that smile looked like a devil was smiling down on her.
"You bully! I will not forget this" she quickly threw the necklace at him and ran away crying.
He caught the necklace and sighed while watching her departing back.
"She still didn't understand that it wasn't about money, it was about respect." He shook his head thinking that humans from this world didn't have basic respect for their fellow humans, they only respected strength.
Raymond was someone who respected people if they were decent enough, and he would never respect those who didn't give him even a basic human respect.
He quickly unlocked the door and found that Jasmine was still sleeping unaware of what happened outside.
He didn't have the heart to wake her up, so he quickly started packing both of their belongings into a bag.
He didn't have much, only three sets of clothes excluding the one he was wearing.
He packed Jasmine's clothes and needed one more bag to completely pack her belongings.
'What kind of a master am I? Even my maid has more clothes than me.' He laughed inwardly.
He waited for two hours to see if she would wake up, but when she didn't wake up even after the moon rose up in the sky, he had enough and pulled her cheeks to wake her up.
"Ouch! What happened?" She looked around to see the broken bed and thought that someone must have attacked.
"Master, where is the enemy hiding? Don't worry I will protect you."
She jumped up and quickly took a stance to defend her master.
Only when her boobs jiggled did she realise that she was buck naked.
Feeling embarrassed she turned around to see Raymond looking at her with dead fish eyes.
"If you are done with your nonsense, quickly get dressed, we are moving out of the room" he said while showing her the packed bags.
"Master, you didn't have to pack my bags" she said feeling embarrassed that her master had done her work.
"Whatever, check if anything is missing after you have dressed."
She nodded her head and got dressed. After making sure everything was fine, she hugged her master and gave him a quick kiss as a reminder of their first time here.
With that both the laid-back master and the airhead maid made their way towards their new home.
