Betrayed By The Hero, Loved By The Lord novel Chapter 271

Chapter 271: Playing matchmaker (3)

"No, you are not bad at it. I am surprised a man of your status would want to use his time to speak with a maid. I am Selene’s maid, as you said. Nothing more," said Agnes.

"I am well aware of who you are. What status are you referring to? I don’t hold a status like Xavier. If I do, I wasn’t told it was passed on to me. Where is my land?" Isaac joked.

"Not that kind of status. You worked in the court. I don’t think I have ever heard of men from the court going around chasing ladies who work as maids. If this is some joke to annoy Lord Blackthorn, it won’t work," Agnes said, viewing it as nothing.

"The reason I want to ask for a moment of your time is so you can get to know me. I have never tried to annoy Xavier. Truthfully, all I want is to avoid him, but I find myself here over and over again. This isn’t some joke. I have an interest in you," Isaac cleared up.

"And about the men from the court being with maids," Isaac continued. "You’d be surprised by who they spend their time with. They will deny most of it to not be embarrassed, but I have seen it myself."

"I see," Agnes replied, thinking over the offer.

"You can say no, and we can forget this moment ever happened. I don’t want to pressure you into doing something you don’t like. I can leave you be right now," Isaac said, staying back instead of continuing to follow Agnes.

"I am flattered by this. It has been some time since anyone spoke of wanting to court me. I had not considered how much had changed for me to receive an offer," Agnes said.

With everyone avoiding Selene in the past, naturally, Agnes wasn’t approached by anyone unless she would leave Selene’s side. Agnes had become used to it and devoted her time to Selene.

"I am also a mixed-blood," Agnes mentioned.

"And I am a pureblood. Not one from a well-known family, which I hope you do not mind. What next must you point out?" Isaac asked,

"Nothing. I have a day off from work in two days, but with all the attacks, Selene suggested I stay near the estate. It would be best if we leave during the day," Agnes suggested.

Agnes grew nervous now that it dawned on her that she would be spending a day with a man. It had been so long that she had forgotten what needed to be done or said.

"Moving around the day is best," Isaac agreed. "I will arrive at noon and have you back before nightfall, so you don’t worry about the dangers."

"Thank you. Wait, do you need a drink, or was that a plot to speak to me? I would love to avoid taking a guest to the kitchen for the head maid to see," Agnes said, smiling to sway him to return to his seat. "I can get you wine. Also wine for Francesca."

"Some blood would be better for me. The wine should be brought for Francesca. I can find my way back from here," Isaac said, seeing Agnes off.
