269 Chapter 267 : : Finally Online

'Hugh.. 65%? now that you mention it, shouldn't it be at least 75%, 65% accuracy is the least you had analyzed until now,' Rex asked.

[That's the thing, a while later before she saw you, her temperament seemed highly composed and firm which was almost like Lucia, but when she saw you it brought a drastic change in her personality that's why I am only 65% sure this time]

'Hmmm…' Rex looked at Ria.

He subconsciously decreased his pace.

The rays from the setting sun were reflecting upon her face making it look slightly red. When Ria noticed Rex intensely staring at her face she blushed again making her face look redder.

Ria also decreased her pace matching up to his.

"Cough.." Mia wasn't able to take more of this and finally interrupted their peaceful movement.

The second she coughed, their pace returned back to normal.

[And I was just thinking of starting the BGM]

Rex ignored the comment and acted as nothing happened.

"This… isn't this the castle," Ria suddenly noticed that the path they were walking on was leading them to the main entrance of the castle.

"When I discovered this place for the first time and started to build a city here, I moved all the attractive flower and herbs in the whole region to the castle garden, there are hundreds of types of flowers here I think we can definitely find the ones that suit you best," Rex said with a smile then took them in.

The Combat Bots stationed at the entrance remained unmoved and didn't stop them.

Ria was a little excited when she entered the castle, the colorful flower petal that flew out of the castle while chasing the wind always attracted her attention but the main castle wall blocked her vision.

It would be a lie to say that she didn't want to enter the castle but she was cautious when she thought what type of person the founder of the organization would be, in her view Rex was only a subordinate working for him so using her ties to enter the castle may be too much to ask.

When Ria entered the garden, she was surprised, the scenery in front of her was like the entrance to an evergreen valley. Both the left and right side of the stone-paved path was covered with dense green walls made of tall green trees, the trees on both sides were curved towards each other connecting with the top of each other like forming a welcoming entrance for them.

On a clear look, Ria noticed that there were several flowery vines covering those trees they were the ones responsible for keeping them connected. The natural ceiling above had blocked the sunlight from reaching the ground but it was not dark.

There were street lantern-like poles on both sides of the road, a crystal was attached to their top, the crystal was emitting dim light rays lighting the path ahead. Because of this kind of setting in this part of the garden, it was hard to tell if it was daytime or night.

"Beautiful," Mia on the side subconsciously uttered out.

"Thanks.. it was mostly managed by the head maid of the place though, she really takes care of all the matter regarding the castle," Rex said. He didn't feel like it was good to snatch Lucia's credit.

[If it was Jiang Shuang doing the work, then I am sure your words would be quite different from the ones just now]

'Brothers can share the pain, leave the love for maidens,' (Rex)

"Haha… how long are you going to keep staring like that, come let me show you the place with the best flowers," Rex took the opportunity to grab her hand walk ahead.

Ria didn't resist and followed him.

Rex took her to many places, at some places the whole ground was covered with flowery wines and the firefly like insects flying around them while the other had rare trees with precious spirit fruits hanging on them.

At the start when Rex collected all the herbs and trees in the forest that he found attractive… he didn't even know their uses and planted them all near the castle.

It was only later that he knew their use but by then he had already had new channels to get the herbs he wanted so he left them there for Little Aru and…to show-off.

By the time Rex took the two sisters to the last place it was already night but no one mind it.

The last place was the mini flowery valley… this place was an open area and was completely exposed to the two moons in the night sky, this place was also covered with flowers like other places, the only specialty was that there were no two flower plants of the same kind, every flowering plant had different types of flowers with different looks and smell.

"So how's it? do you like it?" Rex asked with a smile.

Both Ria and Mia were holding a big flower bouquet in their hands, they had made it after collecting a lot of flowers on their way, Mia's bouquet was mostly made by Ria because she couldn't add more flowers in her own bouquet.

Ria nodded as her gaze swept around all the flowers in the garden.

Rex smiled then picked a bright sky blue flower from a nearby plant, the flower had four big petals and a long stamen in the center, it was shining like someone had sprinkled powdered crystal on it, the twinkling lights on its petals look like the flower was trapping the moonlight falling on it. The flower was actually a rare herb… The Starlight Flower.

With the flower in his, hand Rex walked closer to Ria, before she could react he inserted the flower in her hair above her right ear.

"These small flowers can only be used to bring out the true beauty of a big beautiful flower like you," Rex said with a smile after making sure that the flower looked really good on her.

Ria stared at Rex in the eyes for a brief moment then after figuring out the meaning behind the sentence her cheeks again turned red.

"Master Rex, I am here, what can I do for you?" Lucia came out of the other side of the garden and asked while looking at Ria and Mia.

As per Rex's request, Lucia didn't call him Young Master Rex in front of outsiders but just Master Rex.

Rex had called her over a while ago when he arrived at this place.

"Miss Lucia, I heard you were searching for talented assistants to assist you in the management related work, so how about giving these two a chance? they both have traveled for a long time before joining the beastman village that's why they possess a lot of knowledge and experience about the outside world than other workers here whose movements were limited to a certain area all their life," Rex said while looking at Ria and Mia.

Both the sisters looked at Rex in surprise.

"If Master Rex recommends them then it's a given that I give them a chance, as long as they meet my minimum requirements I can take them both as assistants," Lucia said after thinking for a second.

Rex nodded in satisfaction then again looked at the twin sisters.

"Rex if you are doing it for making up for that then the flowers are…." Ria started speaking but Rex interjected.

"It would be a lie if I say that I am satisfied just by giving you flowers to make up for my mistake, but I am really not offering this job just based on that, I heard from Alfred that you two haven't joined the beastman village for a very long time and were traveling in the continent alone, even when your cultivation base wasn't high and your appearance does not allow you to disguise as humans you two were still able to survive.

This shows your intellectual abilities… in simple words you two are smart enough to survive even without much strength that's why I think you will be of good help to Lucia, if you agree to take the job then you will get a good salary, and cultivation resources furthermore you can enjoy the scenery of this garden anytime you want… how?" Rex asked.

Ria was silent, she seemed to be in a dilemma, Mia on the side didn't speak either and just looked at Ria like saying she would choose whatever her sister chooses.

After thinking for a while Ria again looked at Rex in the eyes with a serious expression, Rex felt awkward when he saw her like that but he didn't avert his gaze because he had a feeling that it won't be a good sign to do that.

Ria kept staring at Rex in the eyes for a few seconds then she smiled and nodded indicating that she agreed.

"Good, so now that it's decided you two can move to the castle, Lucia arrange two rooms on the second floor for them okay," Rex said, but when he saw that Ria was about to speak he continued.

"From now own you two are assistants of the head maid so it's a given that you two live in the castle like her, it will also make it easy for you two to work there reducing the time taken to travel from home to castle every day, I will send someone to help you shift the luggage tomorrow," Rex said.

Ria didn't speak more and helplessly nodded she could see that Rex now had no intention to actually hear a no as an answer.

"Then we will see Miss Lucia tomorrow," Ria addressed Lucia in the same way as Rex then nodded and left the garden with Mia.

Although it was already night, Rex knew it won't have a good impact if he asked the sisters to stay the night in the castle at the moment, he knew he had already forced his way quite deep just now.

Lucia also had work to do so she left after the sisters.

After they all left Rex checked the wrist band or we can say \u003cSmart Band\u003e on his hand to check if there was something else on the schedule that he had missed, he had named the device: SB v2.0 Smart Band to define it more clearly.

Now that he had made sure that he has nothing to do Rex just stretched his arms and was getting ready to head to his room and sleep, just then he received a notification alert, not from the Smart Band but from the… Friend List.

Rex quickly checked and found out that the offline status of Zakiya has turned Online, when the user on the Friend List is sleep, unconscious or in a meditative state then their status turns offline and when it turns back online then it means they are awake.

'Instant-Transmission,' (Rex)

Rex didn't think more and headed towards his position in the core zone of the forest.

On the other side, both Ria and Mia had left the castle and were heading back to their residence.

Ria was walking with a faint smile on her face, although there weren't many people on the streets at moment but even when someone met her they would politely greet her and worriedly advice that a beauty like her shouldn't overwork till night because she might encounter some drunk men and have trouble dealing with them.

On the whole way, Mia didn't ask anything about the assistant job.

After they both arrived at the second floor of the two-story building and Mia closed the door, Ria sighed then lied on the bed, her smile has long been disappeared as she stared at the ceiling.

"Sister, was there any need to accept the job, it's a waste of time and the resources they will provide can't help us much. Coming to this city had already restricted our moments a lot and if we move to the castle then….wait could it be he wanted to keep a watch on us," Mia suddenly said.

Right now she didn't look like she was the same quite and anti-social type girl as outside as she spoke without hesitation or choking on her words.

"You think too much… he doesn't suspect us, he is just chasing me," Mia said as she touched the flower on her hair while still expressionlessly looking at the ceiling.

"Oh, then sister why are you letting him get so close to you? he doesn't seem to be the loyal type or useful in any way, he seems like a kind person but he may be faking it.

Even if he isn't faking it such personality is of no use in our way.... and more importantly, it really looked like you fell for him, err.. you don't really like him… right sister?" Mia asked with some uncertainty in her tone.
