[I command you to serve Ekaterina as you served the Princess. She is the mistress of Yurinova until Ekaterina is married or I take a wife.]
When Alexei finished, all of the servants bowed respectfully.
…I’m curious about what will happen from now on.
I wonder if any of them have some hidden agendas…
Ekaterina thought calmly.
She didn’t have the knowledge or experience in the housekeeping genre, but in order not to cause trouble for her Big Brother, she would do her best to control the servants as a mistress!
Novarus asked Alexei, clenching his fist over his chest as he always did.
[This is from Lord Novadine. He is staying in the Vine Rose Room. It seems that he was planning to join you for dinner, but… would you like it?]
To their surprise, the Novadine father and daughter were staying at Yurinova Castle without permission. They truly believed they would be treated in the same manner as when their father, Alexandre, was alive.
Alexei ordered the old butler to [get rid of them] immediately.
The servants, on the other hand, were slow to act because Novadine’s father and daughter, particularly her father Ishdol, must have known Alexandre since they were children and had been in and out of the mansion since then. In addition to the old butler, there were other servants from different branches of the family, and there must have been complicated relationships or interests among them.
Novadine may have intended to show Alexei that he could behave in the same way as his father had.
Alexei could see it, and he nodded his head.
Then he turned to Ivan, his servant, who was always by his side.
[Ivan, get him out of here.]
[Yes, sir.]
Ivan responded cheerfully as usual.
[Call out to the Knights as well and tell them I have ordered them to deal with the platoon.]
[As you wish.]
[Young Master…! No, no, my lord…]
The steward, Novarus, sounded aghast.
[It’s a branch family, your family. It would be too much for the knights to be sent out-]
[Shut up.]
Alexei said it with a strong light in his neon blue eyes, but when he saw Ekaterina’s gaze looking up at him, his eyes dimmed with melancholy.
[…You must consider me to be horrible…].
[No. I know you are rather kind.]
Ekaterina replied while the servants looked at her curiously.
[By the looks of things, I’m not sure how far she’ll go to undermine Big Brother’s authority. They may eventually send an army of knights to forcefully crush the other branch families. Big Brother is a kind man who is trying to prevent such a situation from happening by teaching them well while you still can.]
In my previous life in system development, I had to give a hard time to the clients who casually added or changed specifications, from the very beginning. Otherwise, I would have been in trouble later. We once went to court with a client from another company, and the client lost the case, and the payment and court costs were a huge blow to the client.
So, what Big Brother was doing was the right thing!
[You are a smart girl. I’m glad that you understand].
Alexei said sincerely.
[Just a reminder, Big Brother, dealing with Keira is going to be a problem for the Order, and you should ask Mina to help you with that.]
[Right. The Knights would be more than pleased to leave Keira up to you, Mina]
[Yes, Your Excellency.]
Mina bowed her head nonchalantly as usual.
Ivan and Mina strode together to the guest room.
Ivan and Mina entered the father and daughter’s respective rooms without knocking, pulled out their bags without permission, threw in a change of clothes and other things, and quickly packed up their belongings. Thoroughly ignoring the surprised yelling of the uninvited guests.
