Chapter 431 The Secret Maid

Seeing Sherin drink the wine in the glass, Savannah straightened up, saluted to Sherin, and said softly: "Savana greets Master Malfoy. I was ignorant before on the ghost ship and offended the master..."

She raised her head and looked directly at Xie Ling with her icy blue eyes. There was no hesitation or shrinking, only a kind of self-reflection and determination to the end. "Please punish me, or give me a chance to atone for my sins."

Xie Lin gently waved his hand and said, "Since you are Karkaroff's adopted daughter, just let those little things go. You don't have to take them to heart anymore."

"Her loyalty... is beyond doubt." Karkaroff added quickly, his voice unconsciously lowered, his eyes showing a hint of flattery, "Savannah has been with me since she was three years old. After years of careful training by me, loyalty has become an instinct deep in her bones. As long as you, Master Malfoy, say a word, no matter what you want her to do, she will absolutely obey without any intention of disobeying."

Then he showed a lewd smile that every man would understand, and said in a very low voice: "Savannah is the goddess in the eyes of many male students in Durmstrang, but under my strict discipline, she has never had any one-on-one or close contact with any man. She is actually still a virgin."

Xie Ling coughed lightly with some embarrassment. Savannah was an excellent choice in terms of both appearance and talent. Coupled with her cold and unapproachable temperament, it was no wonder that she became a goddess admired by boys. However, such a cold and arrogant beauty suddenly had to become his humble maid. The huge gap between the roles still made Xie Ling feel weird.

This was the second time someone had "given" a maid to Sherin. Although it was not unusual for European nobles to have maids, Sherin had always been independent and had no habit of needing others to serve him. Even the house elves of the Malfoy family were rarely used by him. But both times, there were reasons he could not refuse - Latifa's presence could ensure that Sherin and the people around him would have an extra life, and Savannah, in addition to her special magical combat ability, could also provide assistance in many matters of the Sleeping Dragon Society.

After a long while, Xie Lin slowly looked at Savannah. She stood straight and calm, without any hesitation or resistance.

"I want to know what you think." Xie Lin said lightly.

Savannah knelt on one knee without any hesitation, her movements were meticulous, as if this was a sacred ritual that had been rehearsed countless times. She raised her head and looked directly at Sherin, her ice-blue eyes showing no sign of hesitation, only unwavering faith.

"Since the day my parents died, Karkaroff has been Savannah's adopted parent. His orders are my mission. Since he ordered me to serve you, from now on, you are my master." Her voice was calm and clear, without any emotional fluctuations, but with an unswerving sense of mission. "I will serve you, assist you, obey your every order, and dedicate everything I have to you."

Xie Ling lowered his eyes and looked at her, the corners of his mouth slowly raised, and a meaningful smile flashed in his eyes. Karkaroff seemed a little unreliable on weekdays, but he was really good at training his subordinates. Whether it was his students in Durmstrang or Savannah, they were all trained like Muggle soldiers, with iron discipline, meticulous rigor and unswerving loyalty.

"Very good, get up," he said in a low and pleasant voice, "from now on you will follow me! I have a secret base in Great Britain, and you will live there from now on, and will be responsible for handling all correspondence and intelligence exchanges from Germany, Northern Europe and Eastern Europe for me. When the time comes, I will let a house elf connect with you, and you can find me through it if you have any questions -"

Xie Lin has made up his mind to let her live in Ella's Cottage so that her existence will not be discovered by anyone and she can secretly handle new personal connections and intelligence networks for him. As for those letters sent directly to her, they can be forwarded by the house-elves.

"In addition..." Xie Ling's eyes flashed with a strange light, and he said in a stern voice: "I officially grant you the title of 'Secret Maid'. You have the power not to be restricted by the Malfoy clan rules and family rules, and you only obey me directly." After speaking, he stretched out his right hand and lightly pointed at Savannah's silver-white hair in the air.

A faint bell sound was heard in the void, and a faint white light emanated from Savannah's body. There was no change in her resolute face, but an extremely mysterious force seemed to form an invisible link between Xie Ling and her.

"Savannah will obey the master's orders." For the first time, a faint smile appeared on Savannah's cold face. Even Karkaroff beside her was shocked by her smile. She felt that her heart seemed to be filled with a mysterious power, which made her cold heart feel warm after a long time.

She lowered her head, stretched out her hand without hesitation, gently lifted up Xie Ling's right hand, and kissed the back of his hand respectfully to show her loyalty.

[“Secret Maid” Savannah Karkaroff obtained it! 】

"Well, let's go!" Sherin gently pulled Savanna up, turned to Karkaroff and said, "I am very satisfied with your gift, Karkaroff. If there is anything else later, I will let the house-elf pass on the message to you. Now we will say goodbye." "Yes, Master Malfoy, please take care." Karkaroff showed a victorious smile and said respectfully.

"France, Provence, Delacour Manor!" As the flames of the fireplace rose, Sherin took Savannah's hand and they both stepped into the fireplace.

……

The Delacour Manor is located in the center of a rolling lavender field near the Cote d'Azur. Its azure roof and white stone walls combine luxurious aristocratic style with the tranquility and elegance of nature.

In the lavishly decorated hall, Sherin and Savannah walked out from the fireplace hand in hand. Both of them were handsome, and at this moment they looked like people walking out of a painting, immediately attracting the attention of everyone in the hall.

The spacious hall was filled with about fifty people, and standing in the front row were the guards of the Delacour family and the guards of other allied families of Schelling in France, such as the Evreux family, the Bonacourt family, and the Amorinus family. There were about 30 people in total.

They were all dressed in black, and their identities could only be identified by the clan emblems draped on their left shoulders. All of them had solemn expressions and remained silent, holding their wands tightly in their hands. It was obvious that everything was ready and they were ready to go.

At the end of the front row, Sharf in a dark green robe and cloak, and Latifa in a snow-white wizard robe had been waiting here for a long time. When they saw Xielin, Sharf immediately gave him a charming smile, and Latifa gave him her usual aristocratic sweet smile. Xielin also nodded to them.

The two of them should not have arrived much earlier than himself, because it was only after Xie Ling saw the information passed on to him by the Delacour family at the dinner table early this morning that Xie Ling sent the two of them an emergency summons.

The reason they were able to get here in such a short time was thanks to the highly efficient communication system that the Sleeping Dragon Society had established under Schelling's strict requirements, which allowed Sharf and Latifa to receive notifications in a timely manner. In addition, the major forces under Schelling had already been linked on the Floo Network, and were able to gather people in one place in the shortest possible time, demonstrating extremely strong organizational mobility.

There were about twenty more people standing at the back of the team. They were warriors transferred from the Silver Spear organization. There were a total of twenty Silver Emblem Battle Mages, led by a hot young woman. As far as Xie Lin knew, this leader was Desiree Akaht, a disciple of "Knight", one of the four great wizards of Silver Spear. She just turned 20 this year, but she was already a Gold Emblem Battle Mage.

As we all know, the Silver Spear Organization is an organization composed of duelists. Members often duel with each other, and the final reward is that the winner can get "points". Only by accumulating a certain number of points can one improve one's status in the organization. Among them, the gold badge is the highest level, the silver badge is the second, and the bronze badge is the last. As for those members who can't even get the badge, they can basically only be peripheral members, and their combat power can be ignored.

It is generally believed that the comprehensive combat strength of the Gold Badge Battle Mage is no less than that of the elite Aurors of the Ministry of Magic of various countries.

"Sherin, you've arrived at the perfect time. The portkey will be activated in three minutes," said Mr. Delacour.

The Portkey Charm was also regulated in France, but this did not pose a problem for Mr. Delacour, a master herbalist. He obtained approval from the French Ministry of Magic in advance on the grounds that he would go to the mountains of Eastern Europe to collect and study herbs, and made the Portkey using the mark made by Fleur.

As the various small objects that served as portkeys emitted dazzling lights, everyone touched them at the same time -

Let’s go! (End of this chapter)
