Chapter 121,368 words12 min read

As fellow women, Heidi naturally wouldn’t focus on body figure at this time.

In her impression, Flora’s body was indeed excessively good.

Full of vitality and energy aside.

Although she always clumsily fell, the minor bumps and scrapes on her body always healed very quickly, almost completely within half a day.

And usually, Flora didn’t fear or dislike the dirty and tiring work… she didn’t mind working in the kitchen, which wasn’t surprising at all.

Now that things had come to this, Heidi couldn’t change the Crown Prince’s decision and could only complain resentfully,

“Seriously, you’re too impulsive. Is it really necessary to go this far for someone like Yara?”

“I’m not doing this specifically for Yara.”

Flora said somewhat awkwardly.

Although that was the result, and she did plead for her, it was more because she couldn’t stand the Crown Prince’s actions.

As a result, the old butler and Heidi mistakenly thought she was a kind girl.

But she wasn’t kind at all, even the complete opposite… not to mention her very existence was a deception.

“I don’t know what to say to you… If you encounter any difficulties in the future, just come to me. If that doesn’t work, ask Mr. Charlton for help. Don’t try to handle everything alone!”

Heidi thought Flora was still stubborn, so she gave up trying to persuade her and instead gave her instructions.

Flora also wanted to end this topic as soon as possible, so she repeatedly agreed.

Perhaps feeling that so many things had happened and Flora was tired, Heidi didn’t continue to pester her, giving her plenty of quiet space, and even boiled hot water early, urging her to take a bath and relax.

Flora didn’t refuse, after all, the more carefree she seemed, the less worried Heidi would be… although she really didn’t care much.

But to say that Flora wasn’t upset at all would definitely be a lie.

“Sigh…”

Especially after entering the shower and removing her disguise, she couldn’t help but sigh.

Because her future work location meant that she would no longer have any interaction with the Crown Prince.

No interaction meant that the Crown Prince’s favorability towards her, which had already dropped to negative, would no longer change.

“Forget it, worrying so much is useless… As long as I persevere and work hard, as long as I can stay in the mansion, I don’t believe there won’t be a turning point!”

However, Flora never despaired when faced with difficulties… soon she adjusted her mindset, took a comfortable shower, and fell asleep in bed.

In the morning, Flora got up quietly, washed up, dressed, and then quietly went out.

This wasn’t because she maliciously wanted Heidi to be late, but because the maids in charge of the kitchen had to get up earlier than others to make preparations.

“Good morning, everyone!”

Arriving in the kitchen, Flora greeted the chef and apprentices cheerfully.

“Stop talking nonsense and get to work.”

The chef said unpleasantly, “Torin, tell her what to do.”

“Me?” The apprentice who was named looked distressed, but unable to refuse, he walked to Flora dejectedly, “Listen carefully, I’ll only say it once. Everyone is busy and doesn’t have time to waste on you.”

“Understood!”

Flora replied energetically, not at all dissatisfied with his attitude.

There were thirty-two servants in the mansion, twenty-four permanent guards, eighteen rotating guards, plus the old butler and frequently arriving assistants, as well as occasional guests such as teachers…

Therefore, the chef and five apprentices had to prepare food for at least seventy people every day, and they had to carefully prepare top-notch food for the Crown Prince, and occasionally deal with distinguished guests.

In addition to that, they also had to do cleaning, purchasing, and washing dishes… They simply didn’t have the leisure to put on a good attitude for a small maid.

However, it was rare to see a maid as energetic as Flora.

The apprentice, Torin, couldn’t help but take another look at Flora, but he quickly remembered that there was still a lot of work waiting for him, and quickly put aside any unnecessary thoughts, pointing to a cabinet full of tableware.

“Take the things out and arrange them. These are for ordinary servants, those are for the gentlemen servants. I’ll teach you how to distribute the food for ordinary servants later.

You don’t have to worry about the others. Don’t do any cleaning work now. Can you wash vegetables, peel things, have you used a knife?”

Torin introduced and asked as if he was in a hurry.

Flora noted everything down.

The only problem was that she had never cooked before…

This wasn’t saying that a gentleman should stay away from the kitchen, but that she used to be busy and didn’t have the time or need to study cooking.

Moreover, she wasn’t picky about food. When she was hungry, she could eat tree bark and roots.

“Another young lady…”

After learning that the blonde girl couldn’t cook, Torin felt even more tired.

They had encountered maids who couldn’t do anything before, and thinking back on it was still a disaster.

At this time, the blonde girl didn’t forget to add insult to injury, saying proudly:

“I’ll be working in the kitchen for a long time… But I’ll try to learn from everyone!”

Who has time to teach you!

Torin couldn’t help but mutter in his heart, telling her some simple tasks and going back to his own work.

“Too slow!”

As soon as he returned to his original post, the chef scolded.

Torin had to accept his bad luck.

But no matter how busy people were, they couldn’t concentrate 100% of the time.

After working for a while, Torin felt a little dazed, so he shook his head and moved his gaze elsewhere.

As a result, he saw the scene of the blonde girl clumsily falling to the ground.

Torin was speechless.

He looked back at the others who were busy and knew that he would be the one responsible for comforting the crying girl again.

“Forget it, consider it my bad luck today.”

Torin turned around resignedly, only to find that the blonde girl was already working as if nothing had happened.

The fall just now seemed fake… If it weren’t for the oil stains on her originally spotless apron, Torin would have thought he was hallucinating.

Quite resilient… Torin had a slightly better impression of the blonde girl, but not much.

It wasn’t the first time he had seen maids who were willing to endure hardship, but after all, she wasn’t specifically working in the kitchen, and there was very little she could help with.

But even if it was limited, it could slightly reduce some of his pressure.

Torin quickly walked to the blonde girl’s side.

“Put those small things aside first, let’s start serving the food. Remember, don’t touch those, we’re responsible for this part. I’ll only demonstrate it once.”

Saying it was a demonstration, Torin was just scooping all kinds of food into the bowls and plates in large spoonfuls.

Anyone who didn’t know would think he was preparing to feed pigs.

But after all, this was the Crown Prince’s mansion.

The servants didn’t eat very well, but the portions were sufficient, and the salary was quite good, so no matter how busy Torin was, he had no intention of quitting.

“Understand?”

After demonstrating which foods to distribute, Torin asked.

The blonde girl nodded and began to carefully pick up the spoon…

Although her movements were very novice and clumsy, such a simple task wouldn’t cause major mistakes.

Even if there were mistakes, it would only be the servants who were unlucky.

Torin didn’t look much and quickly returned to his post to continue working.

Today it was his turn to prepare some food for the gentlemen servants, so he couldn’t be careless.

When he finally completed the most urgent part of the work and looked back to check on the blonde girl’s progress, he was immediately frightened by the scene in front of him.

“W-What is this?”

The bowls and plates that were supposed to be prepared for the lowest-level servants were filled with food of VIP quality.

Man, this is just sad at this point. She has no life skills, like nothing at all.
