Chapter 14: Wait, She's a Tsundere?!
It was known that of all the princes, he was the weakest.
His health was not the best, and he was bullied frequently by his step brothers.
Meanwhile, Harry finally reached the castle. He entered it and then started walking peacefully, almost as if his previous excitement was non existent.
He said in his mind, "Scope On!"
Suddenly, a blue lens covered one of his eyes, and it was extremely translucent, almost transparent. It was only visible to Harry, of course.
Harry wanted to test it out on his mother and Aoi. While he was thinking of that, he came across a maid walking across him.
Two maids worked in the castle. The pay was extremely low for now, as Harry used the remaining few copper coins in the treasury for paying the maids salary. He didn't want to let his mother and Aoi work.
If anyone was willing to work as soldiers for him, he could probably pay for their services with those few coins, but the problem was that the poeple of Lyria were extremely against him. Hiring mercenaries was an extremely costly matter, so that was out of the question.
And thus he ended up without any soldiers working for him at all.
Harry glanced at the maid with his scope and a "Ding" sound rang out in his head.
A translucent screen covered his eyes which had something written on it.
[Name : Amelia Williams
Job : Maid.
Relations with Host :
Loyalty : 30
Love : 10
Hate : 0
Conclusion :
Would betray Host if a tempting offer comes up, and even though she does not hate host, does not love him either.
Inner Remark:
"This so called king pays me so less... He's just a young boy but wants to rule over us Lyrians! Well, I have no better job, so I might as well work here..." ]
After reading all that, Harry was speechless. She acted so nice and all smiles. I mean, he expected her to have some resentment about the low salary and he didn't really blame her for that either.
But all this about him being a 'young boy' and her extremely low level of loyalty towards him was slightly shocking to him.
He sighed. He decided to use this personality scope on the other maid too.
He walked towards the kitchen and pointed the scope at the maid who was cooking something.
A translucent screen again covered his sight and Harry started reading what it said while walking away from the kitchen.
[Name : Vanessa Hayward.
Job : Maid.
Relations with Host :
Loyalty : 80
Love : 70
Hate : 0
Conclusion :
Would only betray Host if threatened with something that meant the world to her (family). Likes Host in a motherly fashion.
Inner Remark :
"Poor boy. The king of Andestein is just too ruthless. Sending that weak boy to Lyria of all places with no guards. His father didn't even give him any money! He thinks I don't know, but I've seen them using the money left in the treasury. The job's not too bad either. Their temperament is very good and don't get angry easily, and the jobs I have to do are easy too."]
Harry was speechless once again but for a completely different reason. This maid usually acted slightly cold on the outside and did not speak unless absolutely necessary.
What he didn't expect was that she was a tsundere, cold on the outside but warm in the inside.
And when the hell did she see him taking money from the treasury?! He didn't even notice her! She seems to be very sneaky. Good thing that she had no bad intentions towards him.
