gentleman's servant

Chapter 78 Butler

As a housekeeper, Hilton considers himself fairly qualified.

Since his grandfather's generation, his family has been engaged in the butler industry, and his father, brothers and even cousins ​​are all butlers.

He received a subject education in arithmetic and Latin, then inherited his father's duties, followed the previous baron, and then served the young master.

The grievances and grievances of the Bruce family do not need servants to intervene, and Hilton knows this truth well.

Masters are always just employers, and you shouldn't put too much affection on them.

But Hilton, who has never been married and has no children, always finds it difficult to let go of that child.

He is the Baron's only son Oscar, a quiet and sensitive child, very smart and kind, always hiding in the room and reading alone, he is so young and harmless, no one should be cruel enough to hurt him.

But there are always cruel people in this world, who seem to have lost the meaning of life, not only ruining themselves, but also ruining others.Perhaps the pleasure gained from spoiling others is all the motivation for these people to stay alive.

The young master was kicked out of the gate by the Baroness's lover in the cold winter and snowy weather. When Hilton found out, the child had already had a high fever from the cold.The lover was drunk, staggered, pointed at them and laughed, that cruel laughter Hilton still clearly remembers.

The young master had been lying on the bed for more than a month, and finally he was able to get out of bed, but his back was very weak, so he became disabled.

Disability in appearance has a lifelong effect on a person, it doesn't take time to understand a person, appearance alone means everything.

The world always treats different people more harshly than imagined.

But his young master is not someone who is easily defeated by fate. He grows up quietly, full of wings in dormancy, and when his arms are strong enough, he strikes back powerfully at everyone who has hurt him.

He returned to his position once again, the honorable and wealthy Baron Oscar, he made people awe-inspiring, and no longer dared to despise him because of his appearance.

The life in Delman Manor is very peaceful, like an old man, only those who have business dealings with the baron will visit occasionally, and Mrs. Alice who never stops, she will only think of her when she is short of money son.

Such a peaceful life is very good, but occasionally, Hilton will suddenly remember that his young master is different from him. He is already very old and will go to the grave in a few years, while his young master is only in his early 20s, and A long, long way to go.

One day he will leave the young master, who else can stay by his side at that time?

Since then, Hilton has been very active in bringing up the subject of marriage in the young master's ear.

He would inadvertently mention the beautiful daughter of a noble gentleman's family, or mention the newborn heir of a neighbor's family.

The young master is very smart, he understood what he meant, but he never said it clearly.Until one time when he brought up this topic again, the young master said something very intriguing to him.

He said that he did not want to make his future wife unhappy.

Hilton has never understood the meaning of these words, how could the young master make his future wife unhappy.

It wasn't until a few years later, when he brought that beautiful male servant home, that Hilton suddenly figured it all out, and everything he didn't understand in the past became clear.

It was a very beautiful young manservant, with blond curly hair, blue eyes, and a tall and straight body, as handsome as a sculpture in an art gallery.As soon as he came, the maids were restless, and he even ordered the housekeeper to reprimand the maids several times.

Maybe others couldn't see it, but Hilton, who had taken care of Oscar since he was a child, could tell it at a glance. The young master liked that male servant, and his eyes always followed him.

It's almost like the look in his eyes when he was a few years old when he was expecting his mother to visit him.

Those dark eyes had a gleam of anticipation that had dimmed so many years ago when he had disappointed Mrs. Alice, and that gleam had returned now.

He quietly waited and waited, the heat in his eyes was clear at a glance.

Hilton was very anxious. He should have advised him that getting married and having children was the right way, and he shouldn't walk on those rough roads, which are very difficult things for anyone.What's more, he didn't know what the kid named Owen was up to. There were not many people in this world who looked like a man on the outside but were as evil as a beast on the inside.What if he was just using the Baron?Use his young and beautiful face to deceive the young master's pure heart, so as to gain power and money, and even ruin the young master's reputation.

The young master was getting closer and closer to him, and Hilton knew he couldn't stop it.For many years, this was the first time he saw such a vivid light in the young master's eyes.

If he can really make the young master happy, maybe all of this is not so difficult to accept. Deep down, Hilton hopes that the child he takes care of will be truly happy, instead of being like this castle, which has not yet had a spring. It has already entered decay.

It's a pity... the manservant was not worrying, he seemed to be playing with the baron's feelings all the time, and Hilton heard the melancholy sound of the piano coming from the baron's room again and again.

After he made the young master lose his temper once again, Hilton decided to teach this ignorant brat a lesson.

Hilton wants to let Owen know that without the attention of the Baron, he is nothing at all. It is simply a dream to rely on the Baron's love and self-righteousness.

He ordered the low-ranking servants to bully him, to push him to do all the dirty work, and he ordered the kitchen to delay his meals and drive him out of the castle.

Then he reprimanded Owen to his face when a handsome lawyer came to visit.

"Don't think that you can take advantage of the baron by grasping his weakness, whether you want money or other things. If you let me know that you have ulterior motives and endanger the baron, I will definitely not will make you feel better."

The young man seemed to have been kicked heavily, and his face was as pale as paper on the spot.

Hilton was a little hesitant. Maybe what he said was too serious, but at least it made him understand his identity. He should stick to his duty in the future, and won't make the young master feel uncomfortable by relying on the young master's love.

Who knew that he left because of this, during the festival, he left in the rain all night.

When Hilton picked up the lamp that the boy left outside the Baron's window, he suddenly regretted it. Maybe this boy was not as despicable as he thought. He also had feelings for the young master, and he didn't play tricks on the young master.

The young master looked for him everywhere like crazy. Hilton had never seen him like this before. He used all the connections he could find.

Hilton understood that the young master had fallen in love with that person.

That is the person the young master has been waiting for. He may not be able to give the young master a family or an heir, but he can make him happy.One day when he leaves the young master, he will be the one who will always be by the young master's side.

Hilton thought that he shouldn't use his imagination to affect other people's lives. If the young master lost his lover, how would he face the young master in the future.

Fortunately, the young master found that man back.

He was a little embarrassed, keeping his head down all the time, as if he was embarrassed to face the people here.

But the young master finally smiled.

Hilton felt that as long as the young master was happy, there was always a solution.

But things got a little weird when the young master asked him for the key to Owen's room for the first time.

Hilton still remembers what happened that day.

The usually calm and introverted young master suddenly called him to the study, looked around, hesitated, and asked him with a blushing face for the key to the male servant's residence.

During the time he was stunned for a moment, his young master's ears turned red.

He stumbled and explained: "I think... I can take the backup key, so that... I don't need to use it sometimes..."

"Oh, of course, my lord." Hilton quickly untied a bunch of keys.

When the young master was about to take it in a hurry, Hilton withdrew his hand again, took one of them and handed it to him.

"I think this one will suffice," he said. "You won't need any other key."

Seeing the young master being speechless, Hilton suddenly found it very interesting.However, as a serious butler, he never easily showed his emotions in front of his master, so he tried his best to hold back his smile.

It's fun to poke fun at the serious young master once in a while, but young people just don't know moderation.

Hilton also had a time when he was young. He knew what it was like for boys to fall in love, and he knew that young people were impulsive and didn't care about anything.

But in the middle of the night, there were ambiguous noises from the next door, unbearable groans and the sound of the head of the bed hitting the wall. It would be too much if it didn't stop until three or two o'clock in the middle of the night.

The young master of his family has always been a cautious and conservative gentleman. If he hadn't been seduced by that uneducated and troublesome pretty boy all day long, he would never have done such absurd and unseemly things.

They had to be thankful that it was him, the old man, and not someone else who lived next door, otherwise they would have been discovered long ago.

In order to remind them, Hilton had to block Owen early the next morning. No need for verbal hints. The male servants are very clever. Just look at him more, and the young man will understand. run faster than a rabbit.

From this day on, Hilton never heard any strange noises from the next door at night.He could finally go to sleep without the fear that he had been worried about other servants waking up in the night and finding out about it.

He was even prepared before, if the boys still ignored them, he would disregard their faces and reprimand them face to face.Fortunately, they still have some sanity left, and they won't be so hot-headed that they forget everything.

There are more and more smiles on the young master's face, and you can feel the joyful power from him, as if the whole world has changed.

The castle where they live is no longer as silent as a tomb, but because of the happiness of the owner here, it glows with the warmth of spring.

It's just that occasionally inappropriate things happen, and he, the butler, needs to watch them.

Therefore, Hilton feels that he is still a long time away from retirement.
