Most of the aerial structures I've seen before are just small villas of 3 to 5 stories, with the tallest being a 10-story building; they can only be considered aerial structures.
What appeared before Yulia now was not just a building, but should more accurately be called a floating island.
The floating island is shaped like an inverted pyramid, with a surface area of at least 5 square kilometers on top. It is home to several exquisite two- or three-story villas, as well as a huge building that looks like a castle from a picture book, except that it is made of alloy and inscribed with various magical runes.
“That’s where my grandfather… who is also the current head of the Melson family lives. The atmosphere there is usually very serious, and I don’t really like going there.”
Emerald first pointed out the largest castle to Marcy and Julia before pointing towards the southwest corner of the floating island:
"I live over there, and I prefer a quieter place."
Beaufort was also driving his magical hovercar in that direction, and eventually stopped on a well-manicured lawn.
"Welcome home, young lady!"
As soon as Amelie opened the car door, a unified cheer rang out as two rows of people lined up outside the car to welcome her home.
Among them were beautiful maids in short skirts and stockings, butlers in tuxedos like Beaufort, and manor guards in combat uniforms.
"Ah."
Emery nodded naturally:
"Leave two people with me, everyone else can continue with your work."
"Yes, Miss."
Everyone responded, and one of the maids and another butler stayed behind, while the rest returned to their posts and continued working.
Emerald lives in a three-and-a-half-story villa. The villa does not have a fixed maid, but maids arranged by the manor come to clean it every day. It is still in much the same state as before Emerald left.
"Please pick two rooms you like to stay in here. Either one is fine, or you can even stay in my room if you want~~"
After entering her residence, Emerald first instructed the maids and butler who had come with her to take good care of Julia and the others. She then winked at Julia and smiled meaningfully.
"Hmph, I would never live with you! Dream on! Hehehe!"
Yulia, true to her usual proud and stubborn self, asked curiously:
"And you, Emery? Where are you going?"
"I need to go and say hello to the lady first... well, that is, my father's current wife. I can skip going to the castle, but I still need to see her."
Amelie chuckled and explained, then thought for a moment and said:
"My younger brother and sister will definitely come over to play with me tonight, but I still need to go to the company to see my father. I'll have to ask Julia to play with them then."
"No problem, don't worry, I'm very good at taking care of kids."
Yulia patted her chest confidently:
“When I was in school, I often chose to take care of children during my social practice classes.”
"Okay, then Bobo and Lulu will be in your care... who knows, they might even be your fans now~~"
Emery smiled and nodded. Seeing that the maids and butler had already started working, she temporarily parted ways with Julia and the others and walked alone to another villa nearby.
Even from a short distance away on the path, one can clearly see the characteristics of this villa—there are many flowers and plants around the house, and the owner is obviously someone who likes to grow flowers.
At this moment, in the garden in front of the villa, there was a tall and voluptuous woman wearing a gray-white dress, watering the flowers and plants with a large watering can, followed by two capable maids.
"Mrs. Catherine, I'm back."
Emery walked up to the woman with great grace and even gave her a light hug.
"Welcome home, Ellie."
Catherine's attitude was also gentle. She smiled brightly as well, and after embracing Amelie, she handed the large water jug to the maid. She then took Amelie's hand and sat down side by side with her on a bench in the garden.
"Hmm, it's been over a year since I last saw you, Ellie, you've gotten even more beautiful... How's your entrepreneurial trial going? The movie you made seems really interesting; Bobo and Lulu have been asking to come to Locke City to visit you several times..."
"Thanks to you, everything has gone relatively smoothly..."
Amelie smiled sweetly and chatted with Lady Catherine.
Lady Catherine, Amelie's stepmother, would hardly be the case if you said she treated Amelie like her own daughter and treated her two children equally. But she was definitely not as wicked as the stepmothers in fairy tales. Her relationship with Amelie was one of amicable respect.
After chatting for a few minutes, Mrs. Catherine asked with a smile:
"By the way, since you're still in the trial phase of starting your business, Ellie, why did you suddenly decide to come home today? Is there something you need help with?"
"To be precise, I came back to discuss business and happened to stay at your place for one night."
Emery shrugged, making no attempt to boast, yet her words sounded exactly like a boast:
“Mr. Hausman Vance of Vance Properties, you know him, right? He personally wrote me an invitation to come and discuss cooperation, so I could only come back once.”
"Oh? Hausman Vance? Little Ellie, you're already able to discuss collaborations directly with him? Looks like your startup is going really well!"
Lady Catherine indeed covered her mouth slightly in surprise, then thought for a moment and said:
“I don’t know much about Hausman either. I’ve only dealt with him politely in social situations with your father. However, your father has worked with him quite a few times and should have some experience in negotiating with him. You could ask him for advice.”
"That's exactly what I was thinking. I plan to go to the company tonight to talk to my father."
Amelie nodded with a smile.
"Well, it's good that you thought of that. I don't know much about doing business, so I'm sorry I can't help you much."
Catherine smiled, then took Amelie's hand and stood up again.
"Then I won't take up any more of your time, Ellie. Go ahead and do your own thing... I already told Bobo and Lulu, and they're so happy to know you're home. They probably won't be staying at school in the dorms tonight; they'll definitely come over to your place."
"Yes, madam, don't worry. Now that I'm back, I'll definitely spend some time playing with Bobo and Lulu before leaving... I'll get back to work now."
Amelie gave Lady Catherine a light hug before taking her leave.
There was still some time before evening, and after thinking for a moment, Amelie decided to take care of Marcy's matter first.
Back at her residence, she called Marcy, and Amelie led her toward the Melson Manor administration office. Julia, curious, followed along with Pancake Cat.
"Young Miss."
The people at the manor management bowed and greeted Amelie, and were also very polite to Julia and Marcy.
Emerald simply nodded to them without saying much, and led Marcy to the innermost part of the management office, where she pushed open the office door.
"?"
Inside the door was only a middle-aged woman working at her desk. She paused for a moment, surprised to hear someone enter without knocking, and then quickly bowed upon seeing Emerald.
"Miss."
"Thank you for your hard work, Aunt Laura."
Emerald smiled and nodded at the middle-aged woman, then pointed to Marcy beside her and said:
"She was the maid who followed me during my entrepreneurial trials. I plan to make her my official personal maid from now on. Aunt Laura, could you please guide her through the process?"
Marcy then gave Laura a slight bow, smiled gently, and her demeanor was quite elegant.
"...Oh? So, Miss, you've finally decided on your personal maid?"
Laura was clearly surprised, and gave Emerald a meaningful look:
"I arranged quite a few young and beautiful maids for you before, but you asked me to replace each one with a new one in less than half a month..."
"Cough cough..."
Noticing the sudden strange look in Julia's eyes, Emerald quickly coughed to interrupt Laura, raising her voice slightly:
"In short, Sisi is great, I'm very satisfied, so I'll leave it to Aunt Laura."
"Haha... okay."
Laura smiled gently, then said seriously:
"However, according to the rules, even if Miss Marcy is someone personally chosen by you, Miss, she still needs to undergo a test. Is that alright?"
"Of course, Sissi is wonderful."
Emery patted Marcy on the shoulder with confidence, while Marcy maintained her elegant and proper smile without saying a word.
"...Hmm, it does look pretty good."
Laura observed Marcy for a few seconds before beckoning:
"Come with me, I'll personally take you to the test."
The test content wasn't anything new; it consisted mainly of basic maid skills, focusing on etiquette and various service techniques.
As a half-elf, Marcy's physical abilities were already much stronger than those of humans. Coupled with the experience she had gained from following Emery for over a year, passing the test was a piece of cake for her.
Laura didn't make things difficult for Marcy, but when she was processing Marcy's paperwork at the end, she couldn't help but ask out of curiosity:
"May I ask, Miss Marcy, what other special skills do you have? After all, I've arranged quite a few beautiful maids for the young lady before, but none of them could keep her entertained."
"This……"
Upon hearing this, Marcy immediately looked at Emerald, and seeing Emerald nod slightly, she stretched out a hand with her palm facing upwards, conjuring a ball of flame:
"I think that's why I've always been favored by the young lady."
"!...This flame...could it be...?"
Laura was genuinely surprised this time. She quickly took out a magical device resembling a monocle, put it on, and examined it carefully for a few seconds before sincerely exclaiming:
"It really is the Flame of Life... Young Miss, you're really capable, turning a half-elf with the bloodline of the Crimson Moon family into a maid... Won't the Crimson Moon family cause trouble?"
The Scarlet Moon family is the most prestigious noble family in the Elven Kingdom. To Laura, the fact that Marcy was working as a maid for Emerald was probably similar to the young master of Melson serving a rich woman in the Elven Kingdom. So she couldn't help but be surprised and cautious.
"Don't worry, it's okay."
Amelie explained with a light laugh:
"Sisi's identity is special, and the Scarlet Moon family will only pretend that she doesn't exist."
"That's good."
Laura didn't ask any more questions and continued processing Marcy's paperwork.
With Laura, the head of the household affairs at Melson Manor, personally in charge, Marcy's identity registration was completed quickly.
From this moment on, Marcy was no longer an elven slave sold to a human kingdom, but a maid of the Melson family with official status, protected by the laws of the Allen Federation and under the protection of the Melson family.
Aside from the change in status, how could a maid who is a direct descendant of the Melson family not receive any benefits?
Laura first gave Marcy a bank card, and then every month, the Merson family would transfer 15 rons into this account as Marcy's salary.
Not only that, Laura also took Marcy to the storeroom of the Melson Manor's interior affairs department and brought out three maid outfits for Marcy to choose from.
"These maid outfits... are all Mystic Codes?"
Yulia, who had been watching the commotion silently from the sidelines, finally couldn't hold back when she saw the three maid outfits:
"And the magic circuits in these maid outfits... I don't recognize 8% of them? Am I a fake top student at the Magic Engineering Academy?"
"Because many of the magical circuits on these maid outfits, like my [Saintess] outfit, are exclusive technologies that only members of Melson can use. They won't be available on the market for at least another 10 years. It's normal that you haven't seen them before, Julia."
Emery smiled and patted Julia's head, explaining:
"That's why I brought Sisi along to go through the formalities. Otherwise, I could have just secretly gotten her two maid outfits myself... cough cough."
Seeing Laura suddenly look at her with a serious expression, Emery quickly coughed twice and deliberately looked away:
"Of course, I know that doing this violates the family rules. Even if I am the eldest daughter of the direct line, it is still very troublesome to violate the family rules, so I will try my best not to violate them."
"It's alright, as long as I can stay by the young lady's side, I don't care about magical costumes or anything like that~~"
Marcy first looked at Emerald with adoration and said this, before politely asking Laura for her advice again:
"What's the difference between these three magical costumes, Ms. Laura?"
"Of course... Depending on your strengths, the maids of our Melson family can be roughly divided into three categories, corresponding to these three different magical costumes."
Laura explained it to Marcy very carefully, and first pointed to the most daring of the three maid outfits, which was almost indistinguishable from a erotic costume:
"This is a dormitory maid outfit... As the name suggests, the main duty of a dormitory maid is to provide physical pleasure to her master. This magical outfit is inscribed with many pink magic spells, which will allow the dormitory maid to enjoy herself even more with her master while performing her duties!"
Marcy's eyes lit up immediately, as if she had already made her choice, but she decided to listen patiently to Laura's explanation first.
Laura then pointed to the most dignified and proper of the three maid outfits:
"This is a maid outfit. A maid is someone who accompanies her master to entertain guests and attend social events, and is also responsible for daily cleaning and other tasks. This magical costume can make the wearer's temperament more outstanding, and it is also engraved with many practical life magics."
Finally, Laura pointed to the maid outfit whose style was somewhere in between:
"This set is the combat maid outfit. As you can tell from the name, it is most suitable for maids who can also serve as their master's bodyguard. It enhances combat abilities."
