Annice blushed under his praises and smiled. This man in front of him was really pleasing to the eyes, not only that, he was even polite and respectful to her, unlike all other rich men who treat her like nothing.
Annice had a good impression of him.
She then sat on the other chair and questioned,
"Sir Dio, may I know your purpose for coming here"
"You see, my Brando Merchant Company is new but I can guarantee you that the products we have are all high quality. The competition we faced in the Woods Dynasty is too much, so I decided to come here and test my luck believing that products from another kingdom might sell faster here and have more demand.
I also wanted to sell my products to the royal harem and learned that the best way to do that is through the head maid. Since I can't directly contact the head maid, I came to you.
I hope you can help me with this."
Annice nodded in understanding, this wasn't the first time someone came to her like this, but unlike others, this person treated her politely and is good looking. She wanted to help him to the best of her abilities.
Seeing that she didn't reply, Nux continued, "Of course, I will not ask you for this favour without giving you anything-"
"Mr. Dio, please don't say that, you don't need to give me anything. Today was my last day off; I will return to the royal palace tomorrow and tell the head maid about you.
Don't worry, I guarantee you that you will be talking with the head maid day after tomorrow at the same place, at the same time. I just request you to not be late since the head maid is strict when it comes to time"
"Ah, thank you very much." Nux then took out a bottle of perfume and spoke, "Miss Annice, this is my little gif-"
"Mr. Dio, as I said, you don't need to give me anything-"
"This is not for you helping me meet the Head maid; this is for the delicious tea you served me. Miss Annice, please take it. Consider it me gaining some points so that I can come back here again someday and drink the tea" Nux replied with a smile and placed it in her hands.
Annice did not deny it this time; she blushed a little before keeping the perfume in front of her mirror.
The two then talked a little more before Nux left.
…
"Tsk Tsk, last day off my foot! According to Skyla, she should still have at least 4 days off. Tsk Tsk, to think that she would choose to annul her week off just so she could help you quicker. Having a good looking face really helps huh…" Felberta snorted in annoyance. "Oh, c'mon, it wasn't due to my face, it was because I was gentle and respectful with my approach"
"Do you even hear yourself? Gentle and respectful? If only it was that easy!
Hmph! Won't she will be willing to sleep with you if you asked her more 'gently and respectfully'!?"
"…" Nux stayed silent.
"…she might, huh…" Felberta understood what his silence met.
"Having a good looking face really helps" Skyla muttered from behind and Lane nodded.
Nux's lips twitched seeing the three of them acting in sync, he then calmed himself and smiled,
"C'mon girls, isn't that a good thing? The faster we meet the head maid, the faster our plan progresses, right?"
"…That's what the problem is." Skyla and Felberta replied at the same time while Lane nodded in agreement.
Nux just shook his head and chuckled.
"Alright, alright, doesn't act like this; don't we still have two days before I meet the head maid? Shouldn't we enjoy the time we have rather than talking about this?" Nux suggested.
Felberta's eyes brightened as she snorted,
"Hmph, you don't have to tell us that! We know what to do!" ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀꪶ

"Miss Annice, I believe I have been honest with you and did not offend you in any way; then why are you still trying to cheat me?" Nux questioned as he glanced at the woman in front of him and Annice following her.
"W-What do you mean, Sir Dio?" Annice questioned in panic and confusion. She didn't cheat him at all! Why would she ever try to cheat such a han- gentle man?
"I have obviously done some research before coming here and know that the head maid is a woman who is over 40 years old, how is this lady you brought here is no older than 25?
Even if you wanted to cheat me, you could have at least brought an older woman, rather than bringing this beautiful girl here"
A smile appeared on the 'young girl's' face when she heard him and she replied.
"Mr. Dio, you have misunderstood. Annice did not cheat you in any way, I am indeed the head maid of the royal palace, Edda Osburn"
"Wha- What?" Nux put on a surprised expression before he completely changed his expression into an appologatice smile and turned towards Annice.
"Miss Annice, I am really sorry for not believing you"
"N-No, it's alright…" Annice nodded with a smile.
Nux then turned towards Edda and smiled, "Miss Edda, I must admit, you have maintained yourself well. You look stunning"
He was still surprised that this girl who looked no older than 25 was a more than 40 years old head maid of the palace... well, not really.
He already knew the truth, he just wanted to compliment her and get on her good side.
