## Chapter 139 – The Plum Blossom Swordsman Reincarnated Into A Baron’S Family
139. The Plum Blossom Swordsman Reincarnated into a Baron’s Family
The forty-one ordinary female slaves and one elf slave purchased from the Bailen slave market were imprisoned in the basement of Eugene’s mansion without question on the day they arrived.
It wasn’t a prison. A prison was being built separately, a little ways from the mansion. The basement of the mansion was a place made for slaves, a training space, so to speak.
In the case of the elf slave, Elnoa, she was isolated in a special training room using a mana suppressor.
The other forty-one slaves were sitting quietly in a cold room in the basement, waiting.
“…Is it true that they’re going to use us as maids?”
One of the women cautiously opened her mouth. She couldn’t believe what she had heard. In this world, a job working as a servant in a mansion was not easy to come by. It was rare for an employer to easily accept someone just because they wanted to be a servant.
“……Well, we won’t be ordinary maids. There’s no reason to use slaves like us as maids. At best, we’ll be nobles’ sex toys.”
Such a magnificent mansion could not be owned by anyone other than a noble. And the servants who worked in the mansion were at least commoners. In particular, the servants who assisted the nobles up close were either children of nobles or commoners with education.
Logically, there was no way they would use slaves, who had not learned anything, as maids to do housework.
“It’s better to be a sex toy.”
One of the women said. Everyone’s eyes turned to her.
She was a woman with dark blue hair. Her name was Kelly. She was from the far north, where it almost always snowed.
“Do you know how serfs work? They have to wake up early in the morning to feed the livestock, then go straight to the fields and work until sunset. Then they have to be called by their master to sleep with them, and if things get bad, they can be sold as prostitutes.”
Kelly was a virgin. This was a story she had heard from an old woman who had been locked in a cage with her at the slave market.
“But if you become a noble’s sex toy, things change. At least you don’t have to live as hard as a serf. If you receive the noble’s favor, you can even become a commoner. Being a noble’s sex toy is much better than being a serf.”
“……”
“And you’ve all heard of slaves who are worse off than serfs, haven’t you…?”
“……”
The female slaves quietly lowered their heads. There was no way they, who came from the slave market, wouldn’t know. Slaves who were treated really badly were better off dead.
Tap, tap.
Footsteps were heard. The slaves looked at the door with nervous eyes.
The door opened and a maid appeared. The maid with long, silvery-blue hair scanned the slaves once with her icy blue eyes.
The slaves were overwhelmed by Yuria. Her beauty was secondary; the charisma she possessed bound the slaves.
“I believe you all know your situation and are not foolish enough to act rashly.”
“……”
“I am Yuria Grace. I am the exclusive maid of Eugene Prukerus, your master, and the head maid of this mansion. When you call me, you can call me Head Maid.”
“……”
“This mansion is your home and workplace. There is much work to be done in the future. Follow me.”
The slaves followed Yuria.
They arrived at a bathhouse built in the basement. It wasn’t just any bathhouse. It was at least three times larger than the bathhouse in the Prukerus barony. It was so large that even if 100 people entered together, there would be plenty of space.
There were more than five tubs and even a swimming pool on one side. The facilities were so good that they couldn’t even compare to a decent public bathhouse in modern times. In addition, magic was used to ensure that clean water was always available.
On one side, there were four sauna facilities: wet, dry, salt, and ice.
Eugene had put a lot of effort into this bathhouse in particular. One of the reasons was that he liked to take baths, but he also had a hidden desire to bathe with many women.
“Everyone, take off your clothes. The first thing you need to be concerned about is your master, and the next is hygiene and cleanliness. Put all your clothes in that trash can.”
Yuria said to the slaves as she took off her maid uniform.
The slaves obeyed Yuria’s words without complaint. They knew their place. Above all, Yuria had taken off her clothes first and was naked, so they couldn’t insist on keeping their ragged clothes on.
“I’ll start by showing you how to use the shower.”
Seeing is believing. It was better to show them once than to explain it in words.
“Always shower before entering the tub. Do not enter the tub during your period. Is anyone currently menstruating?”
A few raised their hands. Yuria nodded and began to explain how to take a bath properly.
After hearing the explanation, the slaves began to wash themselves in the way they had been taught.
Yuria walked around them, thoroughly checking their cleanliness.
“There’s still dirt on your back. Wash properly. If it’s hard to do it alone, ask someone next to you for help.”
“Serin, wash your hair two more times. Don’t forget to use conditioner.”
“Aisha, the genitals are important. You need to maintain cleanliness even more when you’re menstruating.”
Yuria paid special attention to the young girls.
“Nephia, there’s still soap in your ear.”
“Laura, I know you’re not good at it. I’m not scolding you. Don’t cry. Come here. I’ll wash you.”
As she did so, Yuria watched one woman carefully. She was a woman who was particularly good at helping the children. Her name was Fatima. She was a widow in her mid-twenties who had come to the mansion with her daughter. She was full of maternal love and took good care of the children.
An hour passed. The slaves all had clean faces and bodies.
“…It seems like they still need a little work, but I’ll let it slide for today. Now, let’s go outside. Your clothes are prepared in the dressing room.”
“This is…”
“It’s a maid uniform. Maid uniforms must always be neat. Don’t forget that, and put on your maid uniforms.”
Yuria nodded as she watched the slaves put on their maid uniforms.
After that, she took them to the dining room on the first floor.
The dining room on the first floor was for the maids. It was quite large, so it could easily accommodate dozens of people at the same time.
“I didn’t have time to prepare a proper meal today.”
No matter how versatile Yuria was, she only had one body. It was impossible for her to prepare meals for more than 41 people by herself. Of course, she had prepared and served a perfect meal for Eugene first.
“This… you’re saying this isn’t a proper meal?”
Fatima looked at the food on the table with surprised eyes.
Bread, soup, and fruit.
Although the bread was cold, it was an incredibly good meal for slaves. In particular, the bread looked very soft, and there were large pieces of meat floating in the soup.
“Yes. I didn’t make the bread; the master gave it to me. He probably bought it from Earth. I just made the soup roughly. Eat the soup before it gets cold.”
The slaves began to eat. Fatima put a spoonful of soup in her mouth.
“It’s, it’s delicious! It looks like ordinary meat soup, but…! Is there something special in it?”
“Monosodium glutamate.”
“…Huh?”
“It’s a seasoning commonly called MSG.”
“Seasoning…?”
“Think of it as similar to spices.”
Mealtime was over. The slaves had all eaten everything without leaving anything behind. It was a slave’s basic instinct to eat as much as possible when they could.
“I’m thinking of choosing a few of you to be maids in charge of the kitchen. If you’re confident in your kitchen skills, please raise your hand.”
Nearly 20 women raised their hands.
“…There are more than I thought. I’ll choose the kitchen staff after a test tomorrow.”
After that, they went back down to the basement and began their training.
“Just because you’re wearing maid uniforms and doing maid work doesn’t change the fact that you are slaves. Eugene Prukerus is your master. Your master’s orders are absolute, and you must give everything for your master.”
Yuria intended to make this training thorough.
There could be no exceptions, even for young children. Rather, they needed to be trained more carefully because they were young.
After the training was over, Yuria assigned them rooms in the basement. Five to six people went into each room. There were no beds or anything. All they were given were pillows and blankets.
“The children will use the rooms on the second floor from now on. And… Fatima.”
“Yes… Head Maid.”
“You are now a full-fledged maid. Your job is to manage and teach the children. You could say you’re a nanny. If you don’t like the job, you can tell me.”
Fatima looked at one of the children. It was her daughter.
“…No. It’s okay. I’ll work hard.”
“Good. Your room as a full-fledged maid is not here, but on the second floor. It’s next to the children’s room. Since it’s a good opportunity, let’s all go up together and see the rooms of the full-fledged maids.”
In this mansion, there were rooms that maids could use on all floors from the first to the fifth. It didn’t have much meaning, but if there was a meaning, it was for Eugene’s protection. For reference, Eugene’s bedroom was on the fourth floor.
The slaves who looked around the room that Fatima would use were surprised. It was much larger and better than they had imagined.
There was a soft bed, a wardrobe, a desk, a mirror, a clock, and all the other basic necessities.
“There are five maid uniforms in the closet. Two for going out and three for the mansion. Always be careful with the management of your clothes. And you will receive a monthly salary. I don’t care how you use your salary, but you must not forget that if you show a disgraceful appearance, it will tarnish the master’s reputation.”
“Um… what are those white and black things on one side of the ceiling?”
“They’re air conditioners. They can provide heating and cooling. I’ll show you how to use them. The thing next to it is a camera that monitors your every move, so live honestly.”
For reference, the electronic devices such as the cameras and air conditioners could be controlled through the computer room on the fifth floor of the mansion.
The children’s room next door was nothing special. There were small beds and desks lined up to fit the children’s sizes. The children would live communally here until they became full-fledged maids.
Yuria looked at her watch.
It was 9:40 PM. It was time to prepare for bed.
“There are plenty of rooms for you to use. If you become a full-fledged maid, you will all be given a private room. Excellent maids will be rewarded, and maids who break the rules will be punished.”
The slaves’ eyes lit up. They had a premonition that they would live a more prosperous life than before they became slaves.
“How you live in this mansion is up to you. Now, go back to the basement and go to sleep. You must wake up at 6:00 AM tomorrow morning.”
They went down to the basement without complaining at Yuria’s command.
“Fatima.”
“Yes, Head Maid.”
“You have something to do tonight.”
“Something to do… What is it?”
“It’s to serve the master.”
Yuria took out clothes from her shadow.
It was a maid uniform. The skirt was very short, and the chest area was so deeply cut that it was almost completely exposed. There was even a lewd red panty with a split center.
“I’ll go to the basement for a moment. In the meantime, please change into these clothes.”
“Serving in these clothes… Don’t tell me.”
“It’s to serve the master with your body. Surely… you’re not refusing?”
Yuria asked with a smile.
She was clearly smiling.
Her face was beautiful even when looking at it again.
However, Fatima felt a chill run down her spine as she looked at her smile.
“Ah, no. I will serve.”
“Fatima, I believe that you, as a widow, will do well. You are a maid and a slave. The master owns you and your daughter. Don’t forget that fact.”
“…I’ll serve diligently.”
Yuria nodded and headed to the basement.
