I needed to ask so things but the receptionist had no clue about the stuff that I asked and looking around there was no one as probably all had already gone to do their things.
As I waited after ordering so bread olettes at the reception, I saw an average-looking maid mopping the floor.
She was lost in her work and by the ti she noticed , I was already beside her.
"Hello, Miss!"
"Umm"
"Hello!"
She was surprised as rarely anyone disturbed her during her work-hours.
She quickly bowed and lifted the hem of her skirt as she greeted .
"I have been looking for soone to ask so trivial things but… Alas! My poor luck there is hardly anyone here from whom I can ask."
"I saw this gorgeous-looking girl humming a beautiful rhy as she was diligently doing her work and I couldn't lift my eyes from her, I don't know if this beautiful young miss will honour with her grace by spending a few minutes talking to ?"
"Be…beautiful?"
"I am no young miss."
"I am just a part-ti worker here."
"Ittt..No, instead it would be my honour to help you!"
-she blushed at the unexpected complint.
It was a technique that I learned before, whenever you have to ask soone for anything, always praise him/her and the person would be pumped up with the sudden praise and would do their best to accommodate your requests.
After all, everyone likes being praised…human nature is like that, affection is a contagious disease!
"I heard there was a legendary sword kept at the city museum?"
"I am a traveller and have been looking for so opportunities here and there to keep my life entertained as I keep doing the things that I want. This ti I ca to this capital city of the kingdom of light and heard about this sword, as I looked at you doing your work so sincerely, I thought how could soone know more than the young miss, you must be well aware of the situation, right?"
-I gave her my charming gentleman-like smile.
The average-looking maid who was never praised before had small self-esteem and suddenly being complinted by made her heart flutter.
"Don't worry, Sir!"
"I know everything about this city."
She made a fist and patted her flat chest as her eyes were filled with enthusiasm.
I had long heard about rumours of this sword and since I had so free ti, I decided it was best to check it out.
'Maybe I may end up picking a treasure? Who knows?'
"Sir, it was said that long ago when countless strong people road wild on the continent, a tear appeared in the sky above our country, and then a big dragon ca out from it!"
"The dragon was too big, he breathed fire and easily killed so many strong people. Everyone thought it was the end of ti."
"There were many casualties and everyone decided to flee the country."
"But when everyone lost hope, a light shone from the sky, it was too bright and when it descended a little, everyone saw that it was a sword."
"Like a hamr of judgent, it pierced the dragon.
The dragon was pinned down on the ground with the sword pierced right through its heart."
"Its body slowly decayed but the sword was still half buried in the sa place for many years. A lot of people later tried to take it away but no one could move it."
"Eventually, it beca known as the legendary sword and a museum was built around it."
Hearing the maid, my eyes lit up!
'Isn't this a treasure? Probably the dragon and the sword ca from a bigger world.'
'I already have a one-shot technique but I lack a good sword to display its might…if I could sohow get my hands on it.'
-Just thinking about it, my breathing sped up.
"But Sir, there is a formation around the sword being set up by the Lynn aristocratic family and only those with the token can enter it, I have heard that no one has been granted that token to enter by that family for many years."
'Wait Lynn family? Isn't the full na of Jasmine, Jasmine Lynn?'
'Oh gosh, this must be another opportunity for David with Jasmine's help if I had not interfered in the normal plot.'
'City Museum, legendary sword here I co!'
I subconsciously licked my lips.
Seeing my actions the maid thought I wanted to do sothing bad with her and she blushed even harder.
"Si...Sir!"
"I rembered I still had work to do, my na is Ellie. You can find later when I am free", saying she ran away as fast as she could to hide her bashful appearance.
I didn't bla her for running away, her little heart was already beating hard and seeing her timid and introverted way of talking, it was clear that it was too much for her to carry on the discussion.
We can always find her later.
'This girl looks a bit interesting!'
After knowing what I wanted, I returned to the receptionist as she had already brought the breakfast I asked for in a tray.
"Sir, you don't have to worry!"
"We will ask a servant to bring it to your room."
Hehe~
I gave her a wry smile.
"If your boyfriend brings you breakfast when you get up after a tiring night, how will you react?"
"Sir, I already am old enough to have a boyfriend but if it happens I would jump out of the bed and kiss him hard on her cheeks", she exclaid with great zeal in her eyes.
"See, you already have the answer!- I winked at her.
Ohh~~~
She suddenly rembered that my partner in the room was a girl.
She gave a knowing-smile as she passed the tray containing bread olettes.
Without waiting for the food to turn cold, I quickly carried it upstairs.
