Combat Maid Harem

Albert gave Aleshia a measuring tape and a paper with lists of all the measurements she should take. Aleshia wrote 160 cm in height before she quickly finished taking all the other measurements. Albert took a look at it and nodded in satisfaction.

"I will have your maid uniform done by tonight. For now, just rest inside your living quarters."

After giving an order to Aleshia, Albert quickly left to see a tailor. He would have the tailor make Aleshia's maid uniform.

Aleshia nodded her head and went to look for her living quarters. In this mansion, the guards and the butlers have their own living quarters. They live in the mansion so they wouldn't have to enter and exit the noble district.

Aleshia felt sad after knowing that she left her little sister alone at home. She would sneak out later to meet her. She still couldn't trust anyone to keep her little sister safe. The high pay of the bounty is enough to even make the most cheapskate of a bounty hunter to give the poor people in the slums a gold coin.

It would be enough for them to live comfortably for a few months or to even buy things that they wanted. It was just the power of money.

Aleshia lied down on the single bed inside the small room. She smelled it and it smelled really good. She felt the softness of the bed and a relaxed expression appeared on her face. Sleeping on a soft bed would be really comfortable. If Ella could only sleep on something like this…

Aleshia was regretful that she couldn't buy something like this for Ella. After all, she had to save even a single gold just for Ella's treatment.

What Aleshia didn't know was that Lawrend was peeking at her from the cracks of the door. Lawrend was just very curious about her. Since she was an assassin and also very beautiful.

"Cough. Young Master, what are you doing?"

Albert just came back from the tailor. He wanted to teach Aleshia the rules of this mansion. But he instead saw the Young Master peeking inside her room like a pervert. Even he was bewildered by it.

"I-I'm doing an inspection."

Lawrend immediately went stiff and thought of an excuse. It was very embarrassing for him to be seen by one of his butlers. Aleshia heard the commotion outside and opened the door.

"..."

Albert was speechless at his Young Master's shamelessness. He didn't know that Lawrend could act like that. It certainly opened his eyes.

"What's going on?"

Aleshia couldn't help but ask after seeing the two of them outside her room. Lawrend immediately turned towards her and spoke.

"I'm here to give you this."

Lawrend passed to her a piece of paper. It had the stamp of the adventurer guild and also written in it was "Alive Bounty Contract". Aleshia took the piece of paper and was surprised that it was the paper that could be used to cancel the Alive Bounty in the adventurer guild.

"Thank you."

Aleshia smiled sweetly at Lawrend. Lawrend smiled back and nodded his head. Albert was suspicious after seeing Lawrend pass the contract for the Alive Bounty that he and Alfred posted several days ago.

"If you want, your little sister could also stay here with us."

Lawrend suggested to her. He knew that she had a little sister and knowing that she's very protective of her, it would be hard for her to take care of her if she's left alone at home.

"I will think about it."

Aleshia had some misgivings to let Ella come here. That's because Lawrend could take her hostage again just like he did with the Alive Bounty. She would have to know him more before deciding if letting Ella come here would be a good idea or not.

"Don't worry. I won't mistreat you."

Lawrend consoled her. He was aware of her thoughts about it after seeing the changes in her facial expression earlier. f𝔯ee𝘸𝘦𝚋𝒏oѵ𝐞l.c𝒐𝓂

"Do you still have anything for me?"

Aleshia asked him after seeing that he had nothing more to say.

"Here's an early pay."

Lawrend pulled a cheque from his pockets. It was a 100 gold worth of cheque. Aleshia was baffled seeing it. She didn't expect Lawrend to give her a cheque so early. She hasn't even worked yet!

"Why?"

Aleshia asked in puzzlement.

"I want you to trust me."

Lawrend replied simply. He wanted to build a good relationship with this assassin. After all, she could still kill him if she wants to. If there's not conscience holding her back, she wouldn't hesitate to do so.

"I'll try."

Aleshia took the cheque and replied flatly. She felt weird after being treated so nicely by Lawrend. She expected him to be very cautious around her. She entered her room and closed the door.

"Let's go. We shouldn't disturb her anymore."

"I understand, Young Master."

Lawrend and Albert left. Albert was even more confused after seeing their earlier exchange. He thought that Lawrend met her on the streets but there seems to be something more to it than meets the eye.

Aleshia was looking at the cheque in her hand with a smile. Lawrend was more interesting than she thought he would be. She doesn't mind working for him after seeing him act like that.

She waited for a while. When enough time had passed, she opened the door and looked left and right. After making sure that no one was around, she sneaked out of the mansion. She came out of an obscure alleyway and headed out of the noble district. It was still very early so Aleshia couldn't just scale over the wall. If she did so, all of the city guards would see her very easily. So she could only leave through the gate.

The city guard saw her leaving and was confused.

"Miss, did you get rejected?"

The city guard asked. It would be sad if she had been rejected for her job. It would be something that was supposed to pull her out of poverty.

"I'm gonna go visit my little sister."

Aleshia replied with a smile. She sneaked out to visit her little sister. Since she still hasn't decided whether to bring her to Lawrend's mansion.
