Chapter 65: -57- The Lost Loyal Servant_2

Because if it wasn’t for a strong obsession, their Majestic Skill wouldn’t have responded to her casual remark.

In other words, Charlotte’s simple apology had completely ignited the couple’s deep-seated loyalty!

They were loyal servants!

The lost loyal servants of the Castel family!

Charlotte had her answer.

"Uncle Frank, Aunt Mina, how many others, forced to leave the family just like you, are still in the Outer City District?"

She asked softly after a moment of deep thought.

Old Frank sighed:

"There are many..."

As he spoke, he gratefully looked towards Sebastian:

"We must also thank Lord Sebastian, for taking us in after we lost our strength and our bodies were nearly spent."

"Now, under the protection of the Rose Association, we have all found work in the Outer City District and can barely survive..."

Sebastian?

Charlotte unconsciously looked back at the butler standing behind her.

Sebastian cleared his throat and hastily explained:

"It was just a coincidence, my lady. You know, people like Mr. Frank and Miss Mina, even if they’ve lost their strength, their experience and knowledge are extremely valuable."

"Gold will shine anywhere, and for the Rose Association, they are precious talents."

Charlotte looked deeply at Sebastian, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

Then, she looked at the elderly faces of the couple, the two beautiful little girls peeking from behind the stairs at her, and the emotionless, beautiful young girl standing behind the couple...

After thinking it over, Charlotte said:

"Uncle Frank, Aunt Mina, have you ever thought about... returning to the family?"

"Grandmother has already Fallen, and she even wanted to kill me. Her expulsion of you was illegal from the start."

"If you are willing, the gates of Castel Manor are always open to you."

Upon hearing the young girl’s words, Old Frank was momentarily stunned and then almost immediately became excited:

"We are willing... uh..."

He didn’t finish his sentence, as he was interrupted by Mrs. Mina.

The former Chief Maid remained silent for a few seconds, then forced a smile with an apologetic look:

"I am sorry... Lord Charlotte."

"Although we would like to return to the family, we are also satisfied with our current life."

"After so many years, we... we’re tired, and so..."

"I am sorry..."

She guiltily lowered her head.

Mrs. Mina’s words took Charlotte by surprise.

Though regretful, since they had declined, she didn’t press them further.

"Alright, I was presumptuous, I apologize."

Charlotte sighed.

A forcefully twisted melon isn’t sweet; the couple was no longer young and desired a peaceful life away from strife, which she could understand.

But...

Having been politely refused right to her face was so darn awkward!

Charlotte felt the atmosphere in the entire room stiffen.

"Heh, Frank, we’ve reminisced enough; let’s get back to the main topic. We’re here today to find some new servants for our master."

Sebastian said, smiling as he broke the awkward silence.

Hearing his words, Old Frank perked up.

He was about to say something but was pulled back by Mrs. Mina.

"Lord Charlotte, may I ask what kind of servants you wish to hire?"

She asked respectfully yet distantly, a stark contrast to her previous excitement.

"Newcomers, I want some newcomers, those with clean backgrounds who have never worked for other nobles."

"Of course, if they have already received some training, all the better."

Charlotte relaxed and thought aloud.

Old Frank’s eyes lit up instantly.

But he was quickly pulled back by his wife.

"Your requirements are not strict, I think ... we should be able to find the people you need. How many do you need?"

Lady Mina respectfully asked.

"About fifty."

Charlotte replied.

"Fifty people ..."

Lady Mina pondered, seemingly doing some calculations, and after a moment, pulled Old Frank to stand up:

"I understand."

"Please wait here for a moment, Frank and I will go upstairs to find the relevant documents."

As she spoke, she also said to the beautiful young girl standing aside:

"Sherry, heat up a cup of milk for Lord Charlotte."

After speaking, Mina forcibly pulled Old Frank upstairs.

Why does the whole world know I like to drink milk?

Watching the silent beautiful young girl prepare the hot milk, Charlotte couldn’t help but mutter in her heart.

...

Lady Mina pulled Old Frank to the second floor.

But as soon as they reached the top, Old Frank angrily broke free from his wife’s grip:

"Mina! What were you just doing? Why did you refuse Lord Charlotte!"

"Isn’t it you who longs day and night to return to the Manor? Aren’t you the one who dreams every day of going back!"

"Not to mention ... even for Sherry’s sake, we must return to the family!"

"Sherry has awakened dual talents, and without substantial financial support, her future development cannot be sustained."

"And this ... only the great Castel can achieve!"

Just as he finished speaking, he paused slightly, seeing his wife already in tears, completely lacking the calm composure she had downstairs.

Lady Mina wiped her reddened eyes and said softly:

"Frank ... do you think I don’t want to?"

"I also want to return to Castel Manor, I also want to return to Lord Charlotte’s side ..."

"That’s my beloved young mistress, you know, I was the one who helped her learn to walk when she was just a little girl ..."

"But ... we are not what we once were ..."

"We have grown old, we have lost our strength, we have been labeled as once polluted by the Flame Demon Disaster ..."

"To survive these years, we have also done a lot of dirty work for the Rose Association, and this is no secret, it could likely become a handle for other nobles or even the Church to attack Castel and Sherry."

"People like us, we no longer qualify to return to the manor, we would only become a burden to Castel, a stain on the family, a drag on Sherry ..."

"We ... can no longer return to the past."

Old Frank stared blankly at his sobbing wife, and for a moment, he felt disheartened:

"Then ... what about Sherry ..."

"Should we let her become one of those transient, wandering Transcendents?"

Lady Mina suddenly raised her head, her gaze more resolute than ever, and her expression more passionate than ever:

"No, Sherry is different."

"Perhaps we ourselves can no longer stand proudly behind our master, but Sherry can ..."

"We have imparted all our lifelong knowledge to Sherry over the years, isn’t it all for this day?"

"We followers who serve the Castel family are inherently intertwined with the family ... the family needs us, and we need the family."

"All these days, you and I have been keeping an eye on the happenings at Castel Manor, surely understanding the young mistress’s dire situation well."

"The young mistress personally coming to the Outer City District must mean she’s desperate ..."

"This is the time she needs our strength, and it’s also the time for us to offer our strength to her! Meanwhile, this is also an opportunity for Sherry to return to the family on our behalf!"

"Sherry will return to the family, she will have a broader future, perhaps one day she could even follow her master and marry into a good family, even earn a title!"

"And we ... cannot become a burden to her!"

"Frank, go tell everyone about Lord Charlotte coming to the Outer City District."

"Go tell them, Castel has arrived, tell them, the opportunity for the children to return to the family is here!"

Lady Mina was excited.

Meanwhile, downstairs, the keenly sensitive Charlotte also let out a long sigh and slowly shifted her gaze away from the second floor.

In her eyes, there was deep emotion.

They ... were not only loyal servants.

They were also parents who went to great lengths for the future of their child.
