Chapter 82: Observed

Jason and Arthur finally arrived at the basement before the princess came out of the elevator.

This was because she didn't take a step right away.

Her eyes scanned everyone in the basement first, especially the workers who were practically most needed right now.

She looked at them one by one until Aldric.

When her eyes fell on him, she looked surprised, evident from her raised eyebrows.

Since everyone was indeed surprised when they saw him because he was too young to be a freight worker, so he didn't feel strange about the princess's surprise.

It was just that she suddenly seemed to smile for a few moments.

He wasn't sure why.

The princess then exited the elevator, followed by her two bodyguards.

It seemed that even in the palace, security was highly guarded.

The butler, Jason, immediately approached her, followed by Arthur who walked behind him.

As a businessman, the man was showing a very humble attitude now.

"Your Highness!" Jason and Arthur greeted the princess.

"I'm just here for a quick look, please continue with the work," the princess replied in a soft-sounding tone.

Jason and Arthur nodded. The latter gave instructions to all the workers to work again.

The two were then ready to follow them.

"Right, Mr. Jason, invite all the workers for dinner tonight," added the princess as Jason had just taken a step.

He was somewhat surprised to hear that while Arthur looked very pleased.

They were finally invited to dinner and it was by the princess herself.

Jason nodded and replied, "alright!"

After that, Aldric and the workers descended the stairs again while carrying luggage.

They all occasionally glanced at the princess.

Meeting her in person was truly an honor, everyone became very excited to work.

However, Aldric felt increasingly confused.

Every time he glanced at the princess, he found her still staring at him.

It was true that he was used to being stared at constantly by women. Even Jenny were crazy about him, but this one was a famous princess.

She had met all sorts of impressive people.

It seemed unlikely that she would be impressed by him, especially since here he appeared as a freight worker.

This time, he and the other four workers moved faster as they were already getting used to the stairs.

Back in the upper basement, Aldric still found the princess watching him.

This was repeated until he transported the fourth suitcase.

After that, when he went to the basement again, she was gone.

Perhaps meeting her made people feel honored, but the atmosphere was more relaxed when she was gone. After all, the scrutiny from the princess put a bit of pressure on.

The workers, servants, and maids dared not chat under her gaze.

This time, the workers finally dared to chat and were very excited as they descended the stairs.

"We must hurry, after this we will have dinner with the princess. Perhaps the queen will also attend," said one of them, wanting to get the job done as quickly as possible.

Actually, Aldric was working faster than them.

When they had only carried 10 suitcases, he had already carried 14, so Arthur and the maids were impressed by his physical strength.

Even the maids asked him how he was so strong when he asked them for drinks.

Time continued to pass and finally it was almost two hours.

All the suitcases had been moved to the lower basement while the exhausted workers lay down with sweaty bodies.

They were all exhausted including Aldric.

Only, compared to the others, he had moved almost 90 suitcases, far more than Arthur had expected.

With that amount, he was paid 675 pounds.

Arthur also paid immediately by sending it to his bank account, and as he had promised, he gave a bonus of almost £100.

Aldric thought this was really a very high-yielding job, and he happened to be very productive at it, but unfortunately, it was a very rare job.

He wouldn't find it all the time.

Plus, if it was elsewhere, as Arthur said, the pay would be only £3 at best.

It was obviously because the palace wanted to keep their prestige that they paid more to Arthur, which made him also pay a lot to the workers he recruited.

"By the way, the butler told me that you should take a bath and change your clothes first before having dinner in this palace," Arthur said after he paid all the workers.

Hearing his words this time, everyone's expression froze then started laughing.

Of course, they had to bathe. If they ate dinner in this palace with their bodies full of sweat, they were worried that they would be kicked out.

Under Jason's lead, they were taken to a place in the palace. It was where the servants lived, which was still in the basement but the first floor basement.

There was even a large swimming pool and many bathrooms.

Of course, Aldric and the other four workers took a bathroom bath.

They brought new clothes that had been provided by the servants.

However, since this was an impromptu event, they only provided regular clothes consisting of casual shirts and long pants.

This was more comfortable for Aldric since he never wore elaborate clothes.

Maybe he wouldn't look good in those clothes.

With the shirt, he looked charming.

The servants still had a hard time believing that he was someone who worked to transport goods.

After all, with his appearance, he was more suited to be a famous model that many women would love.

Unfortunately, he didn't care about a job like modeling because he had no talent in that field.

Now he was excited that he would actually be taken to the palace instead of the hallways and underground.

He, Arthur, and the other four workers followed Jason to the dining room for dinner.

First they passed through a long hallway.

After passing through the door at the end of the hallway, they actually arrived at the palace hall which was right behind the main door.

It was a grand and tall spacious hall where the ceiling was dome-shaped, full of huge pillars arranged on each side of the hall about seven meters apart.

The walls and floor were dominated by a bright golden color that seemed to reflect the light.

Extremely luxurious, that's what everyone thought when they arrived at the deserted hall where they could only hear the sound of clockwork.

The most interesting thing about the hall was of course the throne that was at its deepest end.

It was high, sitting on a floor higher than the floor of the hall.
