The Romantic Life of a Goblin

Just when she was feeling a little disappointed, another rumor caught her attention.

Several drinkers mentioned that they had seen Lord Patrick return to the mansion in a state of disgrace.

According to fellow adventurers, they were ambushed by goblins in the forest and almost wiped out.

What's worse, the construction materials and supplies loaded on the ten carriages they were escorting were also stolen by the goblins.

These building materials were originally precious gifts given to the Earl by merchants and were worth a lot of money.

Hearing this news, Avella couldn’t help but feel worried.

She realizes that the goblin attacks could pose more of a threat to the town.

At the same time, she began to think about how to deal with this situation and protect the safety of herself and her family.

This incident immediately became the focus of attention, and everyone was discussing it heatedly, wondering what the goblins were going to do with the tables, chairs, benches, bricks, tiles and stones.

Elvira knew that Patrick was the younger brother of Baron Isaac Seran and Cecilia's uncle.

Although she had received the news that her mother was safe and sound and she no longer needed to borrow money from the noble lady, she had already agreed to work for Cecilia and she had no intention of going back on her word. In addition, her uncle had been robbed by goblins, and perhaps there would be a time when she, a priestess, would be needed for help.

So Elvira finished her meal in a few bites, said goodbye to old Carter, and hurried back to Baron Seran's mansion.

Looking at the mother and daughter coming and going in a hurry, old Carter couldn't help but sigh that if he hadn't retired after being shot in the knee, he would probably be busy making a living like this now.

……

In the goblin's lair, Allen and Nelson were lying on a shabby, rickety wooden table, arguing over some crumpled draft papers.

These draft papers are full of patterns drawn by Allen himself. Although they look a bit like Peppa Pig's family, he thinks that this has well demonstrated his majesty and dominance as the Lord of the Sith.

However, Nelson scoffed at his childish painting skills and even said that such paintings were not worthy of being displayed in a formal setting.

Facing Nelson's questioning, Allen seemed unconcerned. He defended himself without any shame:

"My painting skills are not important. What we are discussing now is the composition and light and shadow. If you look closely, this picture adopts a triangular composition, with me as the center, surrounded by a group of beautiful women. The cold light above symbolizes passion and power, while the warm contrasting colors below are intended to highlight the charm of women and their admiration for me..."

However, before the boastful goblin could finish his words, Nelson interrupted him rudely:

"Please forgive me for being so frank, Lord Darth Allen. You cannot be called inexperienced in the art of painting, but rather a complete layman."

Artists compete fiercely in their own professional fields, refusing to give in.

One of the artists excitedly said:

"This kind of composition has no depth of field at all, it's completely flat and has no three-dimensional sense at all! And what you said about light and shadow, although it makes some sense, it's not right at all. You should know that the most taboo direction of lighting is straight up or straight down, which will make the picture look very stiff."

Another artist retorted: "Then tell me how to deal with it? Should we scatter the light? That will only make the picture chaotic!"

However, the female scholars knew nothing about the art they were discussing and had no interest in it at all.

She just came over to greet sisters Betty and Becky who were following Alan.

I heard that these two girls have learned arithmetic and accounting. They are rare "talents" in the nest!

So the female scholar decided to take the twin maids to a nearby cave and train them well.

When talking with the twin maids, the female scholar learned that they were actually from the Yunkai Chamber of Commerce, and she couldn't help but feel more satisfied.

After all, the Yunkai Chamber of Commerce was a notorious slave trader guild, and its slave girls were known for their high quality and considerate service. Therefore, the female scholar believed that the twin maids would be able to become her capable assistants.

As the Demon King's secretary, the female scholar was about to form a logistics staff team. Apart from herself, there were not many people in the lair who could read and count. Currently, only the two maids, Julie, and Allen's mother Ronelle were of acceptable level.

Elodie had a good chat with the two sisters and asked them about their expectations for the future, which was also considered an interview:

"You were originally sent to the Earl. So, if you had not been captured by the goblins, what kind of life would you expect to have? What plans do you have for the future?"

Betty shook her head slightly, indicating that she had never thought about such a question:

"We haven't really thought about this. The best case scenario is that it might be given to a knight of the earl..."

The female scholar agreed and explained:

"This is indeed a better destination for female slaves, but as far as I know, most knights will not marry women whose status does not match theirs. They prefer to marry the daughters of big merchants or small nobles to lay the foundation for obtaining titles in the future. You will most likely be raised as lovers for a period of time, and then sold or given to other people."

Becky frowned, considering this possibility, and then proposed another idea:

"Perhaps, the Earl will...will enjoy us?"

There was a hint of uncertainty and worry in her tone.

The female scholar glanced at her and said, "Let's not talk about Count Lockart's age. Even if you can climb into his bed, you will never become a countess. If you give birth to an illegitimate child, the ending will be even more tragic. Winnie in the nest once gave birth to a daughter for a minor noble in the capital, but when she was pregnant, her legal wife found out and drove her away."

The twin sisters were a little confused. The only education they received was how to please their master, but no one ever taught them about the future of their lives.

Betty hesitated for a moment: "Well, now we are all slaves of the goblins. The count will never want us again."

The female scholar nodded: "Yes, but what I want to tell you is that this is actually what you hope for."
