No Relatives

(What a little rascal.)

Flora could see that the black-haired boy intended to mock her with “small fry, small fry.”

But she was actually worried about not finding such an opportunity to talk, so she nodded with a smile.

“That’s right!”

The best way to deal with people who ridicule you is always to stick to yourself and always be confident.

As long as you are not embarrassed or ashamed, the others will be!

Sure enough, the black-haired boy’s playful expression froze, then slowly returned to calm.

Despite his calmness, from his slightly dissatisfied expression, you could see that he was brooding over not being able to make Flora lose her composure.

Flora didn’t plan to let the Crown Prince feel unhappy and indulge in momentary pleasure, so she immediately explained:

“Reporting to Your Highness Ryan, I plan to keep organizing everyone to greet you and see you off.”

“Boring.” The black-haired boy said disdainfully.

“It’s not boring, it’s a very meaningful thing.”

Flora said with great enthusiasm,

“According to my observation, the maids in the mansion are very lazy in terms of discipline.

This kind of work that requires concerted effort helps to cultivate their team awareness and team spirit.”

“Is this the rule you mentioned before?” The black-haired boy was still a little disdainful.

“Your Highness Ryan actually remembers, that’s great.”

Flora exclaimed, then her expression became serious,

“Of course, I am very clear that the maids are not soldiers, not even close to the guards.

It is unrealistic to expect them to obey orders without question.”

“So I only plan to let them reach the level of helping and cooperating with each other in normal work.

To this end, I plan to add a reward and punishment incentive system.”

Flora took out the manuscript she had written during her free time in the afternoon from her pocket and handed it to the black-haired boy.

“The benefit of doing this is that it can solve the discipline problem at the same time and let them supervise each other, but in order to avoid unfair competition, the punishment for slandering, framing, and defamation will be even more severe, and the judgment criteria must be revised and supplemented at any time… What I have listed now is just the first version.”

The black-haired boy carefully read the contents of the second page of the manuscript.

“Too cumbersome, they won’t remember it.”

“Regarding this point, I plan to conduct a law education and explanation once a month, and a simple reminder once a week.

I don’t expect them to remember the specific rewards and punishments, as long as they roughly know what should and shouldn’t be done.”

“Also, I have re-arranged the work tasks of the maids.”

Flora took out another stack of manuscripts from her pocket,

“The core logic is to let the maids who are good at cleaning do more cleaning work, and let the maids who are good at washing do more washing…

According to the difficulty of the work, combined with the previous incentive system, give certain rewards.

I have listed what each maid is good at and what they are not good at, and I have also made a schedule.

In this way, they can get more rest time and greatly reduce their physical and mental burden.”

“But this is just an expedient measure. Even if there are rewards, no one will always be willing to do the troublesome work.

So I still hope that Your Highness can recruit more people, whether it is the kitchen or the maids, they are now working a bit overloaded.”

The black-haired boy quietly read the manuscript over and over again.

After a long time, he raised his eyebrows slightly.

“That rest time you’ve made… is it a trap?”

Flora smiled with relief and nodded.

“Yes, that’s what I plan to do for now.

With a reward and punishment system that supervises each other, and regulations that stipulate that you can’t go out casually at night and can’t do other things during work hours, if you really want to do something, you can only do it during rest time.”

This was Flora’s way of catching the mole, fixing a specific time and revealing obvious flaws.

After all, there are only four secret guards stationed here, one staring at the cafeteria, two guarding the Crown Prince, and the remaining one wants to cover the entire mansion, which is impossible.

Before, the secret guards put most of their attention on Flora, so they failed to notice who the apprentice Kohn contacted.

They could only find that he was poisoning in the kitchen. Once Kohn died, the clues were completely cut off.

If Flora’s improved system is used, the secret guards only need to observe which maid has abnormal behavior during rest time.

In theory, this method can be extended to all servants, including guards, and the rest time of each person can be staggered through scheduling, which is convenient for the secret guards to track and observe one-to-many or even one-on-one.

If you want to make it easier, you can also stipulate that they rest in a fixed place… but in that case, any normal mole would be afraid to leave easily, so Flora doesn’t recommend it very much.

“Not bad, let’s promote it among the maids first.”

The black-haired boy nodded silently,

“As for recruiting new people, I will let Moric discuss it with you tomorrow.”

“Understood.”

Flora lowered her head deeply, waiting silently.

“Step back.”

Hearing this, Flora was slightly stunned.

Don’t look at her taking out these plans and schemes, as if she has convinced the Crown Prince.

But doing so has a core problem that cannot be explained—why does a small maid like you know these things?

Are you hiding your identity?

For this reason, Flora was ready to be questioned, or to face the guardian deity again.

But the black-haired boy didn’t do that.

He didn’t even do the targeting and sarcasm that he had planned at the beginning.

Instead, he listened to her very seriously and thought about what she said.

Impartial.

Trust in your subordinates.

(As expected of His Majesty’s child.)

Flora couldn’t help but smile proudly, then raised her head and said:

“Your Highness Ryan, I have one more thing.”

“Speak.” The black-haired boy didn’t even raise his head.

“When the maids greet you, can you show a little smile?”

The black-haired boy stopped checking the manuscript, he slowly raised his head, his scarlet eyes staring at Flora coldly.

“It’s okay not to smile, just make your expression a little softer, for example, this kind of look is very undesirable…”

“Get out.”

“Please wait, Your Highness Ryan, everyone has always been very afraid of you, but this situation can be changed…”

“I told you to get out!”

“Your Highness Ryan, please don’t be so indifferent to your family, this way, you will experience the feeling of home…”

Before Flora could finish speaking, she was picked up by the black-haired boy and thrown out of the room.

But when she landed, there was an obvious levitation magic that pulled her, so she only landed lightly, neither in pain nor injured.

But even though the ground is cleaned every day, Flora still had a face full of dust.

(Damn little brat… don’t think I’ll give up so easily!)

Patting the dust off her face, Flora turned around and bowed, and went back to her room.

Inside the study.

“This damn woman is really annoying…”

Ryan couldn’t help but curse, his mood, which had finally calmed down, became chaotic again.

He actually wanted him to treat these unrelated servants as family members?

What a joke.

He has no family, and no relatives!

Especially that bastard Anos, and the old guy sitting on the throne, are all objects he will destroy sooner or later!
