Chapter 23: The Support Club, Action!
“Inner thoughts?”
Alice looked like she had a blank mind.
“But… the guy from the slave trader said that as a master’s property, a maid shouldn’t have her own thoughts,” Alice said seriously.
She had noted down every command that the slave trader had taught her.
Anya felt a bitter taste in her mouth upon hearing this.
Alice was different from other girls. She wouldn’t cry or laugh, worked tirelessly, and never complained about being tired.
To some nobles, a maid who acted like a tool was ideal.
But Anya didn’t think so.
She believed Roy didn’t think so either.
Anya put on a calm smile again: “The slave trader’s maid was wrong. In fact, having your own thoughts makes for a good maid. And a diary is meant to record your thoughts and feelings on paper.”
Alice looked even more puzzled. She hadn’t even figured out what “thoughts” were, and now there was a new term: “feelings.”
“I… I don’t know how to write.”
“No, you do. Think carefully about what you think about the most in a day. When you think about him, what do you feel? Just write those down.”
Anya could see that Alice’s diary seemed empty, but it wasn’t devoid of emotion.
Following Anya’s guidance, Alice picked up her quill again, pondering.
What did she think the most about?
What did she feel?
Alice held the pen motionless, making Anya doubt if she was frozen.
After a long pause, she finally wrote the first sentence.
[Master has been working hard lately, he’s amazing]
[But, there’s less time alone, it’s a bit lonely]
[I can endure]
The first time is always tough, but once the pen starts moving, the thoughts flowed like a bubbling spring.
[Master likes Princess Charlotte a lot]
[Princess Charlotte is excellent, beautiful, noble, confident, totally different from me]
[For Master, Princess Charlotte must also be special.]
[What about me?]
[Am I still special to Master?]
[If Master is with Princess Charlotte…]
Writing to this point, the pen tip paused, ink stagnating on the paper, and the blonde girl let out a lonely murmur.
“If Master is with Princess Charlotte, does he still need me?”
Hearing this, Anya felt that the girl in front of her was so weak and helpless, as if invisible arrows struck her heart.
She really wanted to cry!
Master, what are you doing? How can you be obsessed with the princess while neglecting your true love?!
The Master × Maid True Love Support Club, led by the chief CP head of the Ainbrad family, Anya Karen, couldn’t hold back any longer.
“Alice, you should definitely be a little spoiled and demand that Master spend more time with you!”
“But, Master is very busy lately…” Alice lowered her eyes but quickly suppressed the loneliness in them and raised her head as if nothing had happened: “It’s okay, I can endure.”
You can endure, but I can’t! Anya roared in her heart!
After finishing today’s tutoring and confirming Alice was asleep, Anya hurriedly made her way to the dining room.
She felt like she had rehearsed this a thousand times, reaching out to touch a spot on the wall.
The wall suddenly stirred, revealing a hidden underground passage.
This was one of the lord’s secret passages, leading directly to a hidden refuge.
But right now, it served a different purpose.
Reaching the end of the passage, under the dim candlelight, there were already dozens of maids waiting here.
Even Karl, the head of the family, didn’t know that a secret organization had quietly formed within his lord’s manor.
The Master × Maid True Love Support Club!
As the founder and president of the True Love Support Club, Anya naturally sat in the highest chair under the watchful eyes of everyone, hands crossed, resting on her chin.
“Everyone, the situation is worse than we imagined.”
“Master might have fallen for Princess Charlotte.”
At this, the room erupted in chaos.
“Darn it, even Master can’t resist the charm of that lady?”
“Well, Princess Charlotte is a perfect match for Master, and her looks are impeccable. A normal person would be stirred.”
“Ha, saying that, this pairing between the princess and Master doesn’t seem too bad, huh?”
“??? We’ve got a traitor among us!”
“Silence!”
Anya shouted in a low voice, instantly silencing the chattering maids.
In the small basement, one could hear a pin drop.
“The current situation is very serious. We miscalculated.”
Anya explained the night’s findings in detail to everyone.
Now everyone’s expressions turned grave.
Originally, they didn’t worry about Alice’s feelings for Roy; after all, no matter how excellent Charlotte was, she was ultimately out of reach.
Whereas little Alice was like a cotton-padded jacket by Roy’s side.
As they say, feelings that grow over time are the ones that can stand firm.
But Alice insisted on suppressing that feeling, wasting the precious time for development!
Alice could endure, but they couldn’t!
“Everyone, it’s time to activate the emergency plan!”
Every maid showed an expression as if they were ready to die!
The emergency plan of the True Love Support Club.
When Roy and Alice’s relationship fell into crisis, the club would actively intervene to assist!
The next morning, after finishing his morning exercise, Roy came to the dining room for breakfast as usual.
The maids would already be waiting in the dining room by then.
“What to drink today?” Roy glanced at the table filled with food and drinks, muttering, and Alice immediately understood and poured a cup of warm milk, also setting up his utensils and breakfast.
“Oh, thanks.”
“You’re welcome, Master.”
Roy didn’t even notice that Alice had already engraved his habits in her mind.
For instance, Roy loved coffee, but when he said he didn’t know what to drink, it meant he wanted to change to milk.
Also, Roy liked his fried eggs fully cooked and preferred green cabbage over purple cabbage in his salad.
As the master’s maid, she had to pay attention to these details.
However, what Alice didn’t know was that while serving Roy, Anya was also watching her.
What a considerate girl. Surely, only Alice is the perfect partner for Master Roy!
Anya’s mouth curled into a smile of joy.
But what Anya didn’t know was that Karl was secretly watching them, sighing inwardly.
What a warm family. Unlike those loud nobles outside, they were all pure and casual, with no strange thoughts.
Yet Karl didn’t know that at this moment, Roy was…
Roy was completely absorbed in his fried eggs and bacon, his mind blank.
Amid this peaceful atmosphere, Anya finally spoke up.
“Master, you’ve been working hard lately. Would you like to take a break?”
