...

At exactly 8 o'clock in the morning, Eileen arrived at the Lord's castle.

Because she had been researching military signals for the army, she had been staying in the courtyard of the staff headquarters or running to the military camp for discussions with the officers.

After the military signals were initially developed, Paul ordered her to relocate her office inside the castle.

A servant led her to her "office," a small room containing only a desk, a few chairs, and a bookshelf with a few cooking books.

Eileen sighed and thought to herself, "What an employer who knows nothing about the finer things in life!"

She didn't complain that Paul was too stingy because she had seen Paul's own office, which was just as monotonous and no better than this one.

"Well, I'll just slowly decorate it myself in the future."

She looked around the room, pondering decoration plans.

At that moment, she heard the sound of the door next door opening.

Suddenly remembering that the servant had mentioned there was another advisor in the Lord's mansion, with an office adjacent to hers, Eileen felt it was appropriate to establish a good relationship as colleagues. After all, she was no longer the dazzling princess everyone sought to impress.

Eileen walked out and gently knocked on the door of the adjacent room. A pleasant voice from inside responded, "Please come in."

"She sounds like a lovely girl. I hope the Earl isn't a lecher."

With these thoughts in mind, Eileen opened the door and was stunned.

Standing before her was the lady scholar and adventurer who had rescued her from the tiger's jaws several months ago — Miss Ladia.

Clearly, Miss Scholar was just as surprised by Eileen's presence.

Eileen quickly regained her composure and said graciously, "Oh my, I didn't expect this. So Miss Ladia is the new advisor recruited by the Lord's mansion. Hello!"

Ladia smiled back and replied, "Hello, Miss D'Arshi. Lord Grayman mentioned you to me several days ago, but I haven't had the chance to visit you. I apologize."

Eileen waved her hand, saying, "You wouldn't have found me in the past few days. I've been at the military headquarters, where it's not easy to come and go."

"Don't be so formal with me in the future. First, you saved me, and now we're colleagues. Perhaps it's fate."

Ladia nodded with a smile, relieved that her earlier slight worry had disappeared.

The day she rescued Miss D'Arshi from the leopard, although the other party thanked her, for some reason she always felt that Miss D'Arshi was a proud person. Now it seemed that they wouldn't have difficulty getting along.

"So, have you given up your career as an adventurer?"

"Yes, after traveling and adventuring for these years, it's time to rest."

"Haha, I'm sure you've accumulated a lot of knowledge in your adventurous career. I'll have to ask you for advice."

"Likewise. As fellow scholars, please guide me as well."

The two women engaged in lively conversation, bonding over their shared identities as female scholars.

About half an hour later, a servant knocked on the door and respectfully announced, "The Earl requests the two advisors to meet him in the dining hall."
