Pseudo-Villaines

The Neighborhood Feast (1)

Jean was helping some employees tidy up some boxes of fruit in the barn when uncle Hull came to her.

"Yo, Jean! How, you like your work environment?"

"Ah, uncle! Thank you so much for giving me a job. I really like the job I'm doing now."

In addition to being Charlotte's personal servant, Jean also became Hull's uncle's assistant. In certain moments, Uncle Hull invites Jean to see the negotiation process with important people directly.

Uncle also did not refrain from teaching various kinds of negotiation tricks, ethics when meeting people who are in a higher status, and things related to business and economics.

"Haha! Goody! Thank goodness you liked it. True too, Today Charlotte was invited by her playmate who was the daughter of a noble to have tea together. Come with him."

Eh? Join in the tea ceremony? Well, Jean was Charlotte's maid. But usually escorts are not included in his work. Especially to participate in prestigious events organized by nobles such as tea or other parties.

"Gosh, there's no need for that! I've heard the story of how you took out the man who wanted to hurt my wife and son. I believe in the power and ability you have.

"In addition, your appearance is not bad either. You have a handsome face and a very good posture. You'll be fit to be Charl's bodyguard at that tea party! How's it?"

Jean took a breath. Even if Jean wanted to, she couldn't resist. This is an order from Uncle Hull, not a request. Jean had no choice.

"Well Uncle Hull, I'll accompany Miss Charlotte."

"Good! That's the spirit of young people! Okay, I'll get the waiters to bring some clothes that suit you. Now, go get ready. Your body stinks a lot because it's in the barn! Ahhaha!"

And Uncle Hull just left with a bang. Huhh.... Although Uncle Hull was a good person, he was a rather strange person with a sharp tongue. But Jean was used to it. After all, Uncle Hull isn't really serious.

Jean immediately tidied up some boxes of fruit and immediately rushed to the public baths that were commonly used by officials. He bathed there, then after finishing the bath wrapped himself in a towel, and rushed to his room.

Five minutes later, Jean was done getting ready by eating the clothes the maid had brought to her room.

"Good afternoon, Miss Charlotte. The car for you is ready. Please come inside."

Jean stands at Uncle Hull's door. A chariot and a horse and his coachman were already there. Jean opens the car door and invites Charlotte to enter.

Charlotte didn't say anything. He simply looked at Jean with an inexplicable gaze, then walked into his carriage. Jean also went inside and sat down in front of Charlotte. Then they left after that.

Along the way, both were silent. No one starts the conversation. Jean is not either. With reason of decency, he did not open the chat. While Charlotte, she avoids Jean's gaze as much as possible.

But under these conditions, keeping quiet and not talking about anything makes you tired. Not physically tired, but mentally tired. Jean was forced to open the conversation. Anyway, there was one thing he wanted to make sure of.

"Miss Charlotte, this is disrespectful. But may I ask you?"

Charlotte did not answer. He kept trying to take his eyes off Jean. This time with a bow. But Charlotte kept nodding.

"What...does Miss Charlotte hate me?"

Jean asked this deliberately. It's been two years that Jean has been Charlotte's servant but the interaction they have had is minimal. Or rather, one-way communication. Jean was on the side that always spoke whereas Charlotte, she simply nodded or shook her head in response.

Jean didn't get an answer. So he could only sigh. If Charlotte hates him, Jean can't do anything about it.

"I-I don't hate you. I. I'm just scared. You smile when you do that."

Did that? Oh, Charlotte meant when Jean killed the man who hurt you Charlotte and Cassie. But smiling? Did he do that?

In the end, Jean understood why Charlotte was scared.

"Miss Charlotte. It should be at that time....."

"No! Je-jean doesn't have to apologize! I-I want to thank you! But I'm afraid you're gonna hurt me."

After hearing Charlotte's reply, Jean held back her laughter! The way he spoke was truly adorable! Ah, but Jean obviously wouldn't hurt Charlotte!

The atmosphere that had been cold, slowly began to warm up. Rather different from Jean's expectations that Charlotte is a shy girl, it turns out she is an expressive girl. Jean is happy with Charlotte. The vibes the girl gave him was really similar to his older sister, Jeanne.

Until in the end, the exhilarating atmosphere was destroyed because Charlotte who accidentally turned her head outside with her window that made her expression turn 180 degrees.

Jean saw it too. It was especially the sight of a small child, perhaps their age, who was being kicked, beaten, and beaten by adults.

Seeing that really made Jean very, very furious. The sight evoked his memories of a very inhumane torture. But Jean is even more surprised to see that Charlotte is much angrier than she is.

Uhhh! Even their mood was already shattered before the trash at the party venue. Jean would probably think of how she could avenge that crowd.
