The mist rose, and Fitch hid his expression in it. Relying on the devil's face, he could say anything without frowning or blushing. This is a very powerful ability. The human heart is separated from the belly, and his heart is not a devil. Therefore, when he chose to hide something, he did not want to be exposed to the eyes of the old man Kipling.
"The water vapor is too heavy, and chatting is really troublesome." The old man stood up: "You'd better soak for another half an hour, and think about what code you want. Come to my room with Eddie later, and I'll give you the documents related to the procedures. You can only keep the name Feige, and the surname Hall can only be put aside for the time being."
Feiqi nodded, and this one could be seen clearly through the water vapor. Although Bingfeng Fortress is not a prison, it is still an exile place. People who come here will throw away their surnames and say goodbye to themselves in the past. All members here use "Bingfeng" as their surnames and get a code name they think of.
For example, the old man Kipling, his full name is actually "Kiplin Snow Owl Ice Peak". Giles is "Giles Snow Storm Ice Peak", and Kelly is "Kelly Frozen Fist Ice Peak". Bingfeng is rarely used as a surname and is only common in the official documents of the Church of the Goddess of Truth. When performing church tasks, in order to avoid the historical crimes represented by the exile's name, it is all called code names.
The code names of members of the Ice Peak Fortress must be related to ice, snow and mountain rocks, so that they can reduce the duplication of code names with other members of the fortress. Feiqi had expected such a day, so he secretly thought about his code name: "Snowman".
Literally speaking, snowman is definitely not as fierce as snow demons, but he really wants to have the word "man" in the code name. It can be said that the word "man" is the premise of his code name. Having the characteristics of a devil is more likely to fall into a devil than anyone else. This sense of crisis makes him particularly value the attributes of his "man".
After confirming the word "man", there are not many choices that can be combined with it. Iceman gives people a feeling that it is too cold. Shanren has his own meaning and is not suitable for use as nicknames. Frost man sounds easy to be cleared. Frost man is definitely a name used by villains, so it is better for Snowman.
"Snowman" was soaked in the water, and the water became a little cold for a while. Eddie took the initiative to carry a new bucket of hot water in without waiting for Fitch to greet him. "Young master, let me give you a little, I'm going to pour water, don't burn it."
"Oh, OK." Feiqi stood up and turned to look at Eddie: "Eddie, you must be careful on your way back, don't be reluctant to spend money, want...huh?"
Feich has been in a state of meditation, and his soul is in a state of flame in his eyes. Eddie is a depressing, slow and inadequately burning yellow-green flame - red man green woman, and this color is the one for women.
"Eddie, are you a woman?" Feige looked down at his clothes that did not exist, and immediately squatted back under the water. His voice trembled: "You...you...you...really a woman? Giles saw it when he first met you, right?"
Eddie was holding the bucket, and her cheeks turned red after hearing this, and she slowly lowered her head. After a while, in the mist of hot water, she nodded and admitted it. "My father wanted me to learn the skills of a housekeeper, so he concealed my gender..."
"You...I... Why haven't I seen it all... Your age is true?" Feiqi looked up and down at Eddie and muttered in a low voice: "The makeup skills in TV series are so poor, they are all cheating people. There are really people who can pretend to be a gender and can't tell..."
Eddie's body trembled slightly, and his face turned redder: "I'm thirteen years old. But I never dared to eat too much. I can lose weight if I'm hungry, and I can't tell..."
"Why do you pretend to be a man? Women..." Feiqi's question was halfway through, and he had already got the answer from Master Hall's memory. There was no female housekeeper in the customs of the Principality of Aria, only men.
In a noble family, the steward's responsibilities are very important. Take the Count Hall family as an example: Internally, the steward handles various affairs of the castle manor by directing the gardener's head, maid, chef, stable manager, etc.; externally, the steward can deliver letters to other nobles on behalf of the Count's family, do the work of welcoming and sending, and dealing with the civilian class. In many cases, the steward even comes forward more times than the Count himself.
The steward cannot control the following responsibilities: the Count's subordinate nobles, enfeoffed knights, tax officials, grain officials and accountants. They represent the power of judgement, military power and financial power, so they report their work directly to the Count himself.
Because the butler has many external affairs, in this country dominated by aristocrats and knights, patriarchal power is far stronger than feminism. The nobles tacitly chose the butler so that they would not be "embarrassed" when dealing with each other.
The Eddie family has been serving the Hall family for generations, and Eddie is her father's only child and may not be able to continue working as a housekeeper. But this is a pretty good job after all. She is protected by the Earl, has a good social status, has a pretty good income, and does not have to go to the battlefield of adventure or cultivate the land. Fitch can understand Eddie's father's idea, but he just doesn't understand that this is really useful?
"Do you want to be a family housekeeper? You know that it will be found out sooner or later."
"I know. The family housekeeper is impossible. Maybe one of my cousins ​​will do it, or maybe it is someone I don't know." Eddie put down the bucket and lowered his head and said, "My father wants me to learn some housekeeper skills and then marry the future housekeeper..."
"I remember you followed me since you were seven years old, and you had this plan at that time?"
"No..." Eddie just said no, and he didn't want to say anything later. Feiqi leaned over, lay on the edge of the bathtub, and kept asking, and then she said, "At that time, Master, you were still a very powerful young genius alchemist, with a bright future. The master told my father that he hoped that his two titles would be separated, and that the Templars would leave the titles of the Royal Earl for you. I was sent here later."
"My father... the count knows that you are a woman?"
Eddie shook his head: "It shouldn't be known. If he found out, I don't know what would happen, but it's certainly not as calm as it is now."
"Okay, don't worry, I won't tell your secret - just help me pour the hot water first." Feiqi leaned out, picked up the hot water bucket with Eddie, and poured it into the bathtub. He shivered with scalding, and took the opportunity to make Eddie happy.
"Eddie, I didn't know you were a girl before, and I didn't avoid you in all kinds of inappropriate things. Don't be angry! Wait... I should be at a disadvantage in this matter, right? Why do I apologize to you?"
Eddie finally stopped lowering her head, instead of covering her mouth with her hands, and laughing blatantly in front of Feich. Feich remembered this expression in her heart and placed it in the memories of Eddie.
"My life is like this, I can only exile at the Bingfeng Fortress. I missed a lot and a lot of mistakes." Feige honestly said to Eddie: "You take good care of me, even when I was the most bastard, I will never forget this. After you go back, if this matter is discovered and brings bad situations, or you encounter difficulties and problems, please remember that I am in Bingfeng Fortress. You can and must come to me. Oh, maybe I need a housekeeper in the future, and I only look at my abilities, so I don't care whether you are a man or a woman."
Eddie blinked. She deliberately hungry herself, causing her cheeks to become thinner, so her eyes looked a little big, and she always felt that it was not very stable when she blinked. But the meaning in her eyes was very obvious: Did you lie to me?
Feiqi sighed: "It's not good to be hungry, it's not good, it will affect your health throughout your life. I...I can only persuade you, but you have to walk your own way. Oh, knowing you are a woman, please let me take a shower by myself. There is a letter pressed on the head of my room at the bedside. I just wrote it yesterday, so you can send it to my parents."
Eddie nodded, waved his hand at Fitch, and slowly retreated. "Wait a minute. You can see that letter. It's full of apology and blessings, and it doesn't say that you are a girl. I will keep your secret unless you want to restore the girl's identity and regain your destiny."
"Thank you, I believe in you."
"Don't, I don't believe in myself! You'd better read it! I didn't ban the letter. I was going to ask you for help to see if there were any mistakes. Hello, you're leaving so fast, did you hear a squeak?"
Feige started all his senses, and he didn't hear a "squeak". But he knew Eddie had agreed. Is Eddie a woman? Feige sat in a basin and tried to digest this amazing message. He kept searching in his memory bank and finding out what was not suitable for doing in front of girls, but he was just in front of Eddie.
I don't know if I don't know, but I was shocked when I looked. Eddie started following him, apprentice, follower to the most trusted manager and the last servant when I was seven years old. Eddie didn't know about his things. If Eddie wanted to write a book to make money one day, it would be absolutely fine to use his various black history to make a book "Playing in the Second Young Master". (The Second Young Master of the Dandy Really has this book, so this is an intentional typo)
But Eddie finally left, left the exile site of Ice Peak Fortress, and returned to the Earl's manor castle. Regardless of whether her identity will be exposed, Feiqi only hopes that she can be safe, happy and happy.
Feiqi left the bathtub, wiped her body clean, and changed into thick clothes she usually wore. After taking a shower, even after the enhancement ceremony, his identity was washed away from then on. The title "Master Hall" belongs only to the person in the mirror from now on. "Feich Snowman Bingfeng" is his new name.
On this day, Feige had to say goodbye to many things, with the surname one, Eddie one, and of course Feige's parents. The naughty Feige Hall in the past would definitely not have written letters to the Earl Hall and the Countess, but now Feige Snowman is not so slutty.
Through mere memory, Yan Rui could not bring Earl Hall and his wife into the emotional position of his "parents", and probably would never be possible, but this does not mean that he cannot tell the difference between good and bad. Even if he was exiled and broke up with the family from then on, Earl Hall was still giving money and manor, and he was still paying for him. This was experienced by Yan Rui personally, and he could not remain indifferent.
So, he wrote a letter as Fitch Hall, which was a farewell, but implied an apology and a rehabilitation guarantee, which was to do what a son should do for the person locked in the mirror.
