Chapter 37 The Housekeeper's Achilles' heel

"Simple?"

The girl with long black hair who kept standing up had a surprised expression on hearing this.

Looking at Andy in front of her, she seemed to be looking at a drunk who was talking nonsense.

Did this person forget how miserable he was suppressed by the housekeeper?

Even though she was No.1, she was deprived of all rights and interests with just a few words from the housekeeper.

He was supposed to have an infinitely bright future and become a hero touted by everyone.

In the end, instead, he suffered all kinds of indifference and humiliation, and even had to hide in this remote island, working hard on how to become an official transcendent.

Not long ago, the person who rescued him was tortured by the housekeeper, and the ugly scene of howling and begging for mercy was watched by thousands of people in the form of video...

All of these all show that the strength gap between the two sides is extremely wide, and they are not at the same level at all.

As a result, Andy now said that the old butler who made him extremely embarrassed was very easy to deal with?
"Are you trying to say, assassinate him?"

Lily immediately thought of a barely reasonable explanation, and felt amused for a while.

"Let's not talk about how serious the consequences of assassinating the royal housekeeper will be. The assassination itself is simply impossible."

"The butler himself is a senior professional wizard, and his abilities are well-known in this country, not to mention that he has many subordinates and secret treasures as protective means..."

Thinking that Andy, an outsider, didn't know the pros and cons, the nun who sat down again explained it carefully to him.

However, Andy was not referring to the assassination.

"Do you usually like to go shopping?" He asked a question that seemed to be wrong.

"I have a friend who likes it very much." Lily replied, with a puzzled look on her face, not knowing what Andy meant by asking this question.

"So, you and your friends." Andy asked again, "Have you ever experienced certain luxury stores in the past, but were neglected by the staff?"

"There are no luxury stores."

Lily frowned and said, "However, when we go to the Imperial Royal Bank to handle business, we are always annoyed by the bank staff's arrogant attitude."

"Why are those people so arrogant?"

"Bad personality, I still can't figure out why the bank manager attracts such a group..."

Her voice gradually weakened, and finally stopped the sentence completely, and the look of bewilderment on Andy's question on her face turned into understanding.

"Imperial Royal Bank's business is relatively high-end, and they receive a lot of big shots, and big shots are usually very polite to them."

"So gradually, they think that they are on the same level as those big people, and naturally they are not very patient with small people like us who come to handle business - am I right?"

Before Andy could respond, she said again:

"You mean that the butler is just like the bank staff, the qualification to be rude to customers is not derived from themselves, but by their position?"

"No," Andy said, "You have to think about it, why do I say that the butler is very easy to deal with?"

"Think about it?"

After pondering for a moment, the girl came to a faint realization: "The Royal Bank hired those staff members to serve customers, not to let them rely on the power of the bank to act recklessly?"

"Their current behavior may be protected by their leaders, but once the real boss of the bank knows all this, those arrogant staff will definitely be punished or even fired?"

"Think about it further," Andy repeated, "Why would I say that the butler is very easy to deal with?"

"Go deeper?"

The girl frowned upon hearing this.

Looking at the black-haired boy sitting on the other side of the wooden table, whose face was slightly hazy due to the dim light in the early morning, she pondered for a while, and suddenly understood.

"The purpose of the royal family hiring a butler is to hope that he will serve the royal family, rather than relying on the authority of the royal family to act recklessly."

Seeing Andy's brow raised, she hurriedly added: "But the butler himself has ignored this point, working for the royal family all the year round, making him mistakenly believe that the authority of the royal family is his own authority, so he has done some actions that seem to serve the royal family one after another, but are actually satisfying his own desires."

"To put it simply, the butler has lost himself in a power trap that doesn't belong to him, and his mind is not clear. He looks majestic, but he is destined to end badly!"

The more she talked, the more correct Lily felt that this idea was.

It can be seen from the fact that Andy was suppressed in the Starry Church.

It is obvious that Andy can be dealt with in private, so that Andy disappears and exits without a sound.

The housekeeper, however, wanted to stand up at the right time, when the crowd was excited, and suppress all opposing voices...

Of course, this can be seen as an act of killing chickens to make an example of monkeys and advocating the inviolability of the royal family's majesty.

However, the authority of the thousand-year-old royal family like York has already penetrated into the bones of all subjects.

Does the butler need to do something that looks majestic, but actually makes the onlookers suffer a blow, feel greatly aggrieved, and even annoyed?
In this incident, Andy was the biggest victim, but those onlookers who once supported him, don't they feel offended?
There must be.

During this period of time, everyone dared not say anything in public, but in private, there were always discussions about Andy.

The news even spread to neighboring countries, causing many mocking voices.

What good will this do for the York royal family?
In addition, from what happened yesterday, it can also be seen that the butler has been "lost" and cannot recognize his own evidence.

Distribute the execution video to all the extraordinary families in the area to deter the rebels in the dark.

This move is understandable.

It is barely acceptable to search the homes of the major families to collect clues against the thieves.

But what is the reason for letting the extraordinary people write the impressions of the execution video?
Could the housekeeper still be able to dig out clues about who the traitor is from the afterthought?

What is the use of such a humiliating act other than satisfying his own desire for control?

It can be said that this kind of behavior will not only not bring deterrence to the rebels, but will also expand the potential group of supporters of the rebels...

"He won't be from our side?" Lily even had this idea.

A servant does not take the master's interests as the core of his actions, but instead relies on the authority given by the master, indulges recklessly, does not care whether his actions harm the interests of his master, and even makes a big splash...

Thinking about it now, the effect of service brought by the butler to the royal family is not as strong as the destructive effect he brought!

The royal family knows all this, but is too lazy to care?
Or, the royal family didn't know, because someone above covered the butler and concealed some "small details" of work for him?
unconfirmed.

But in any case, this kind of temper that wantonly uses power that does not belong to him to "seek profit" is a weakness for the housekeeper.

Achilles' heel!

He no longer knows how to restrain himself!

Just like a corrupt official amassing money, the more "greedy" he is, the more negative impact he will cause, and the more deadly he will be!

It is even conceivable that the housekeeper has been so arrogantly using power for personal gain on the surface, but secretly, has he done more "profit" things for himself?
If so, after digging out all this, can the royal family remain indifferent?
Does he have a backer, something to rely on?

But you must know that the royal family of York is fighting crazily for the upcoming crown prince teacher...

This discovery made Lili's heart beat faster for a while, and she had a faint feeling that she might be able to accomplish a big event.

But then, she suddenly realized the other side of the matter.

Andy's words made her realize suddenly, and she saw the butler's Achilles' heel.

But this weakness is so obvious that even a young man like her can react with a little reminder.

Didn't her elders find out?
Found it, but didn't tell her?
impossible.

The conversation with my grandfather last night can be described as open and honest. The old man couldn't be more straightforward about many dark sides, and he even did not hesitate to expose the family scandal.

If the grandfather really understood this matter, then when she, a granddaughter, felt frustrated, she would definitely use it to boost "morale".

Even if her grandfather didn't tell her, her father would definitely mention it to her!
Why don't they say it?
Because you don't know?
How could you not know?
Is it because you are too stupid?
Or, they, and even everyone in this country, have been... domesticated?

Domesticated by the thousand-year authority of the York royal family, they turned a blind eye to even the most obvious weaknesses of the butler, taking it for granted?

But if this is the case, then what are the so-called rebels, the so-called resistance organizations, using to lead this rebellion?
Their mindless, non-aggressive will?

"It's easy to get rid of the butler, but the way to get rid of him requires the use of the behemoth of the royal family."

Seeing that the excited expression on the girl's face quickly cooled down and became cloudy, she didn't speak for a long time.

Andy, who was sitting opposite her, comforted: "This is a certain risk. Some people may have thought of it, but they think it's not worth doing."

"When you do great things, you cherish your life, and when you see small gains, you forget your life."

The girl with the blood of the island country slowly spit out an old Far Eastern saying.

"There is a risk, but how big can it be? Everyone knows that the royal family is currently fighting fiercely. If you use that weakness to get rid of the steward, what risk can you have?"

"Even a mere housekeeper dare not target, who would believe that they dare to fight the royal family head-on?"

Andy didn't say a word.

There are some things he can say, and some things are inconvenient to say.

As the girl said, the risk of this matter is indeed not great, and if it is handled well, there will not even be any sequelae for the anti-thief organization.

But what's the use of this?
Stewardship is the result of problems, not the source of them.

Without this result, there is another result.

It can even be said that with the existence of a housekeeper, the rebels will benefit instead...

But the nun in front of her was already emotionally overwhelmed and didn't think about all of this.

Maybe it was the severe humiliation she received last night, maybe it was her grandfather's words that made her unbearable, and she was eager to prove something.

"What do you think I should do?"

Sure enough, the girl asked this question next, with a firm expression on her face, as if she was willing to take the risk.

Andy didn't speak. After looking at the nun with a slightly complicated look, he got up and went to the bedroom to get a piece of letter paper and a pen.

After sitting back in his seat, he wrote the letter without raising his head and said, "To be precise, it's what we should do."
