Quick Wear: But I just want to be a little transparent
Chapter 158 Baby Robot 1
Edmund Mansion.
The ancient castle was built in the Middle Ages. In the magnificent hall, the walls are covered with family portraits, including those of the Surrey couple who had just died in the war.
Two maids in servants' attire hesitated at the head of the stairs.
"Master Hutt didn't eat breakfast again today, and he was so angry that he even overturned the table."
"If we don't eat, the housekeeper will be angry with us."
The young maid said with a sad face: "Of course I know, but since the news of the marshal and his wife's sacrifice came back, Master Hutt's temper has become unpredictable. The servant who delivered the meal in the morning was scalded by the hot soup on his arm. I'm afraid..."
She said no more.
The other maid didn't say anything either. She was also afraid of Hutt, the only young master in the castle.
Suddenly, her eyes lit up and she waved to the man standing quietly in the corner.
"Arnold, come here."
The man standing silently in the dark began to move. His steps seemed to be planned by a ruler, and each step was precise and standardized.
His face was gentle and there was always a slight smile on his lips.
His eyes were half covered by his shaggy hair, and he was looking gently at the two people who were giving him orders.
The maid placed the tray in Arnold's hand and instructed: "You will deliver today's lunch, and you must make sure the young master finishes it. You must know that the housekeeper spent a lot of money to bring it back, so it must be of some use."
Her tone was not very polite, and she never said a word of thanks for the help she needed.
Arnold seemed accustomed to it, carrying the food upstairs with steady hands.
There were whispers from below.
"Will it work? Will anything go wrong?"
"What could possibly happen? Would a robot be afraid of being scalded by hot soup?"
Song Xun was forced to accept once again that he was a robot.
It is also a baby robot specially used to coax children.
This is an interstellar age, where technology far exceeds that of the ordinary world. Mechas, interstellar spaceships, and holographic games have long been commonplace, including high-demand technological products such as domestic robots.
There is a long corridor covered with dark carpet on the second floor of the castle. The wall lamps make up for the dimness due to the lack of windows, and there is almost no sound when walking on it.
In absolute silence, Song Xun stopped in front of the innermost door and knocked on it with one hand.
There was no movement inside, as if no one was there.
But he knew Hurt was inside, so he continued to knock.
When I knocked on the door for the fifth time, I heard the sound of something being thrown inside, and the child’s childish voice was filled with anger: “Come in.”
Song Xun pushed open the door, held the tray in one hand, placed the exquisitely presented food on the table, and then walked into the inner room.
Dark red bed curtains spread out on both sides, hanging down over the head of the bed, half covering and half closing it. The entire carved wall exudes the ultimate luxury.
The Surreys doted on their only son and put a lot of thought into every layout of the room, selecting the best furniture and materials.
There was a small bulge in the middle of the soft bed, and on the stacked pillows, only half of the back of the child's head was exposed. His sun-blond hair was slightly curled.
It is a unique certificate of the noble Edmund family, representing the purity of his bloodline.
Song Xun lowered his voice: "Baby Hutt, it's twelve o'clock noon, you should get up and eat."
The child's voice came out muffled from under the quilt, greatly reducing its lethality.
"If you dare to call me that again, I will immediately send you to the repair yard to be dismantled."
"Sorry, there is no other address option in the command I entered." Song Xun didn't want to be so clingy, so he suggested: "Or you can ask the machine engineer to modify the command for me."
Song Xun expected a reply, but Hutt stopped talking.
There was no intention to get up and eat.
"Baby Hutt, seven years old is the age when your height grows. If you don't eat, you won't grow taller."
The little silkworm pupa on the bed finally moved twice, and the soft quilt was roughly lifted up.
Hutt's eyes were blazing with fire: "Do you think I won't ask someone to tear you apart?"
The blond and blue-eyed little boy is cute even when he is angry, and he is so delicate that he looks like a miniature action figure.
But Song Xun is no longer fooled by his appearance. Contrary to his angelic looks, Hurt's character is that of a lawless devil.
Song Xun recalled that when he was first brought into this room by the butler, Hutt was quietly building blocks on the ground.
A child who was not even as tall as his legs was sitting cross-legged on the ground obediently. His eyes were very beautiful, as if they contained a handful of clean lake water with the blue sky reflected in them. His eyes were slightly drooping, and his eyelashes were thick and long, showing a bit of melancholy.
Song Xun praised him unreservedly. As a robot specially customized for babies, his settings retained his enthusiasm for the people he served, and his tone also had a touch of coaxing a child.
Hurt, who had no reaction to the entry into his room, put down the building blocks in his hand, looked up and waved at him.
Song Xun approached without any precautions and received a sturdy cup in front of him.
The beautifully patterned ceramic cup fell to the ground and unfortunately broke into pieces, splashing water all over his face and damaging his forehead.
Today's robots look like normal humans and are waterproof, but their structures that imitate human skin are very fragile.
On the first day at the master's house, Song Xun was sent back along the same route for repairs.
Only then did he put Hurt's face on the brutal and radical protagonist in the plot.
This world is very special. It is a tricky world where even the 996 work schedule is difficult to manage.
In the original plot, the protagonist Hutt grew up in a happy family. His parents were senior military officers of the Koser Empire. They made great military achievements in defending the empire against foreign enemies.
Hutt, who came from a prominent family, was well educated by his parents. He was humble and gentle, neither servile nor arrogant. When he grew up, he became the dream lover of countless single women in the empire.
When he was eighteen years old, he was diagnosed with 3S-level mental power, becoming the first case in the Koser Empire in a hundred years.
After graduating from the Interstellar Strategic Academy, Hutt naturally entered the Imperial Military Base and became a leader of the new generation, surpassing his parents in achievements.
There will be setbacks and crises in the process, but they will all be resolved in the end. Generally speaking, Hurt's original destiny should be smooth and glorious, and he should be a favored figure held at the center of the world.
But a problem arises. The plot of this world seems to have been tampered with and reorganized, and the direction of the plot has undergone earth-shaking changes.
The Surreys died inexplicably in the war, leaving only the young Hutt alive from the huge Edmund family.
This is where the plot twist occurs.
Overnight, the obedient and sensible Hurt was provoked to the point that his temperament changed drastically. He became moody and unpredictable, and for a while everyone avoided him.
The royal family of Koser felt sorry for him for losing his parents at such a young age, so they decided to adopt him as their adopted son and treat him as their own son.
But this still failed to put Hurt back on the right track.
His stories of fighting, talking back to teachers, and bullying classmates were magnified and circulated, which soon squandered everyone's respect and honor for the Surreys, and they began to blame the noble Edmund family for having such an outlier.
As an adult, Hutt received special care from the royal family and entered a military base, where he got a sinecure. He spent his days playing with cats and dogs and not doing his job. Almost all the nobles in the empire were offended by him.
The royal family of Kother never gave up on him, but the royal family that raised him with care was betrayed by Hutt, who, with the help of his parents' old subordinates, teamed up with the third prince to force Queen Isabelle to abdicate and rebel.
The entire empire was outraged by this, but fortunately Queen Isabelle had been prepared and did not allow the two rebels to succeed.
After this incident, Queen Isabel and Hutt's relationship completely broke down. Kurt was sent to a military court, where his crimes were listed for half a day. In the end, he was executed by firing squad on the highest trial platform in the main city of Tubusi.
The people of the empire applauded. Even after Hutt's death, his crimes were still unforgivable. Whenever his name appeared, he would be cursed.
The beloved young hero turns into a despised street rat, and this plot change is more exciting than a vertical roller coaster.
The plot was completely subverted, and Song Xun's mission was changed through temporary modification of the world consciousness to correct the tampered plot, to influence Hurt, to prevent him from becoming a rebellious minister, and to get back on the right track.
"Robots without problems or faults do not need to be disassembled, and repair shops will not accept them."
Song Xun looked at the child on the bed with some complicated feelings, unable to distinguish him from Hurt, who was executed for treason in the plot.
His tone unconsciously brought out a trace of pity: "Being angry frequently will also affect your growth. Keeping your emotions calm is good for your body and mind. Hurt baby, hurry up and get up to eat."
The child stared at him, slid off the bed, and ran shoelessly to the outer room where lunch was placed.
Song Xun thought that he was still very receptive to advice, and there was hope. The next second, the crackling sound of tableware falling to the ground resounded throughout the room.
"Who allowed you to look at me like that? Who allowed you to talk to me like that?" Hutt overturned a chair that was taller than him, stood in the mess and looked at Song Xun coldly.
Song Xun realized that he seemed to have unintentionally hurt Hutt's fragile and sensitive self-esteem.
At this time, the door was pushed open, and the only butler who could enter Hutt's room without permission appeared.
A middle-aged man in a tuxedo with a pocket watch on his chest approached Hurt, took him to a comfortable armchair with concern, and knelt on one knee to wipe his feet that were stained by food.
"You are a noble person and should not put yourself in danger. The sharp fragments are likely to injure you."
"It's not just me who's worried about you." The butler said respectfully, "Your Majesty will be worried about this, too."
Hurt was surprisingly obedient to the butler, hanging his head like a child who made a mistake and was afraid of being punished: "I'm sorry, I was wrong."
"No, you don't have to say sorry. You are never wrong." The housekeeper turned around and looked at Song Xun who was standing beside him. "The only ones who are wrong are those who failed to take good care of you."
"Arnold, you shouldn't be standing there stupidly. You should hurry up and pick up the things on the ground to avoid hurting the young master."
"Yes."
Song Xun received the order and acted. From the outside, he looked like an ordinary robot without any thoughts of his own, following instructions step by step, with no distinctive features.
The conversation between the butler and Hurt continued.
"You are the only one left in the mansion now. His Majesty intends to take you to the palace. Why do you refuse, young master?"
"I don't want to go. There are traces of my parents here..."
"It's my fault for making you sad, but the palace is heavily guarded. The current situation is turbulent and the border is unstable. You will be safer in the palace. Besides, your favorite prince is there. Don't you want to see him, young master?"
There was a long silence, and Hurt didn't speak.
"Well, I disturbed the young master's nap. I will ask someone to send food up later. The young master can eat after he wakes up."
The butler stood up.
At this time, Song Xun packed up his things and went out with the tray.
Behind him, the housekeeper called him: "I have something to tell you."
Under the dim wall lamp, Song Xun respectfully waited for orders.
He is the most special existence in the entire Edem Mansion. The nobles have always disdained the use of robots. In terms of flexibility, they are obviously inferior to humans, and they cannot add confidence and prestige to the family.
His existence was due to the fact that the only young master of the Edem family suffered this incident and resisted all strangers from approaching, so the butler brought him back.
All of Arnold's configurations are of the highest level, whether it is flexible movement, human-like appearance, or more sensitive reaction ability.
The butler said calmly: "The young master will be enrolled in the Royal Academy in two days. The young master's condition is still unstable, so you need to accompany him at all times."
As the name suggests, the Royal College is a junior college specially established by the royal family. Students are all children of nobles and earls from the main city. There is teaching tailored to each age group until they graduate at the age of fifteen. They can choose advanced colleges of various majors according to their credit scores.
However, since the establishment of the academy, there has never been a situation where students needed to be accompanied to class.
Of course, these are not within Song Xun's consideration. This situation is more conducive to the completion of his mission. He can stay with Hurt at any time and find ways to restrain his wrong behavior.
"Yes." Song Xun replied.
"Your duty is to take care of the young master's daily life at school. Don't interfere with other matters. Just follow the young master's instructions."
The butler stared at Song Xun and moved his lips.
He has typical eyes with three whites, small pupils and lots of white, and he looks extremely sharp when he looks at people.
Song Xun lowered his eyes slightly: "Yes."
He was brought back by the housekeeper, and he felt inexplicably nervous from the first time they met, as if if he looked into those eyes for too long, all his thoughts would be seen through, which increased his sense of uneasiness.
The castle fell into silence at night, with only the occasional chirping of unknown insects.
Song Xun returned to his corner. After the servants finished cleaning up the living room, they passed by Song Xun one after another, talking about the interesting things they had encountered.
No one will pay special attention to the robot around them. After all, it is just a robot. It does not have human emotions and cannot bring any emotional value to people.
The hall was suddenly plunged into darkness after the lights were turned off, and it was eerily empty.
Song Xun began to feel bored, his stance gradually relaxed, and finally he began to walk around the hall.
Just as he picked up a piece of cake on the coffee table and wondered whether he could eat it, faint footsteps sounded from upstairs.
The footsteps were so light that you couldn't detect them at all if you didn't listen carefully.
Song Xun quickly put down the pastry in his hand and stood back to his seat.
