Reincarnated Maid is About To Be Captured by All Players

Around 7:40, Nora came to inform that Enrique’s merchant convoy had appeared near Ende.

Hornheim confirmed through private messages the scouting situation of his external team members and found no suspicious ambushes. Perhaps Enrique’s plan was not what Nora had imagined.

Sigdrifa and Caro Cat had changed back to their usual attire and were hiding in the castle, waiting for Enrique’s demands.

Five minutes later, the impeccably dressed Enrique visited Ende Castle.

“Greetings, Lord Enrique. May your life be peaceful and fulfilling.”

“Good morning, Miss Anastasia. You seem to have become more adept at dressing up since our last meeting.”

Enrique said jokingly, looking in a very good mood.

“Thanks for the compliment. Please, take a seat.”

“Miss Christiana is not here to greet me? Only you?”

“Yes. But this is not out of disrespect from Lady Chris. She thought it best not to appear, as you might not want outsiders to disturb.”

“Fair point… Then I shall accept this courtesy from Miss Christiana.”

Enrique sat in the elegant chair, leisurely crossing his legs.

“Miss Christiana must have conveyed my intentions to you yesterday. I am honored to have my wish granted today. I am willing to provide my merchant convoy to cover for Amalilis’ departure from the city. It pains me to ask for a reward from such a beautiful lady like Miss Anastasia, but I still hope to satisfy some of my modest conditions.”

So, it’s not without a cost after all.

This was a normal outcome, I inquired seriously.

“Thank you for your assistance. However, I am but a mere maid and fear I cannot offer Lord Enrique a satisfactory reward. I hope for your understanding.”

“A mere maid, you say…”

Enrique’s mouth curved slightly.

“Let’s set up a 【Zone of Silence】 first, can you do that?”

Does he not want Christiana and the others to know about our conversation? With limited time, I did as Enrique requested.

“Claiming to be a mere maid is a bit too humble.”

“Uh… What do you mean, Lord Enrique?”

“Don’t forget, you are the daughter of a witch.”

The daughter of a witch.

Enrique confidently revealed my identity, but I remember it being part of the character setting and already public information to adventurers, not a secret.

On the contrary, since Enrique emphasized my irrelevant identity, it means his target is… my mother?

Eh… So he’s into mature women… Wait, what am I thinking? He must have a task for my mother, right?

“Indeed, my mother is a witch.”

“There are few means in this world to reach a witch. Miss Anastasia, your magical talent must be inherited from your mother’s excellent genes. I have always wanted to visit the legendary witch in person, but have had no way to do so. My request is… I want you to take me to meet your mother.”

Enrique’s request was unexpected.

Not a demand for me to do something, but a wish to meet my mother.

To be honest, having lost my mother in infancy before crossing over, I lack a sense of reality for my mother in this game world.

Witches are mysterious and rare, and my mother is one of them.

“…I am very sorry, but I cannot fulfill your request.”

“Why?”

“Since settling in Rothschild, my mother has never visited me.”

“I know that…” Enrique raised his eyebrows, “Could it be… you don’t even know how to find your own birth mother?”

“I am truly sorry.”

I apologized with a bow, actually having no idea how to find my birth mother.

But even if I knew, would I really reveal it? I’m not sure about my own thoughts, but I vaguely feel that I don’t want Enrique to approach my mother, even though I’m very vague about her appearance.

Enrique seemed quite troubled, a mother who can’t even find her own daughter is indeed rare to see.

“So, do you have any information? Name? Appearance? The area she’s active in? You must have some impressions.”

“Mother… um…”

I think about what I know.

Her name? She didn’t tell me.

Her appearance? I can’t remember.

I shook my head, indicating I knew nothing.

Enrique looked at me as if to say, “Then what was the point of your mother giving birth to you?” But how would I know? My mother never asked for my opinion when she gave birth to me…

“Anyway, your mother will one day come to visit her own daughter.”

“I hope so.”

“So although you cannot pay the reward I want now, you can in the future. How about signing this contract as a temporary payment?”

Seeing he couldn’t get more information about my mother from me, Enrique took out a contract.

It seemed like Enrique was asking for my opinion, but I didn’t really have a choice.

I read the contract word by word to avoid carelessly signing

some weird indenture.

The contract had a certain binding force, but overall, I was still free. The main condition Enrique put forward in the contract was that, until he actually contacts the witch, I had to work as a maid under Water City Commerce’s senior councilor Enrique.

The witch again…

Why is Enrique so obsessed with the witch?
