Chapter 415 Secret Protection
Kenya seemed to see her only then.
"You're Archie's wife, the legendary lady, right? Nice to meet you. You can just call me Kenya like Archie."
Natalia just smiled gently, "Hello."
Seeing this, Mrs. Stevenson greeted Archie and some of the youngsters of the Stevenson family and sent them to the back to play chess while the ladies chatted in the front.
Most of the men didn't like what the women were talking about, so Natalia didn't mind.
But Archie squeezed her hand secretly before he left, fearing that she might not be used to being here by herself.
"Just sit down for a while. I'll have a word with them and then I'll come over."
Natalia nodded.
After Archie left, she went over to the sofa but found it already full, and then a maid brought a stool over. She then sat down on the stool and listened to them quietly. When Kenya saw this, her eyes twinkled.
She smiled and said to the group of women, "Do you know what we ate when we were marching in the field? Let me tell you, it was all real. We had only brought enough food for three days, and we wouldn't have anything to eat until we got across the Amazon all the way to the base on the other side. The various traps and secret posts along the way were hidden and we didn't even know about them beforehand."
She had been in the army after all, and these things were so new to these pampered ladies of the gentry that everyone listened intently.
Someone asked, "How can you get through the Amazon jungle in three days when it's so big? And they don't even tell you about the traps. What if you get hurt?"
"If you get hurt, just bear it." Kenya had a proud look on her face, "I remember when I came across some African natives and almost got caught by them. But luckily, I ran fast and didn't fall into their trap." "African natives? Were they cannibals?"
"Well... something like that! But they don't eat people. They sacrifice them, cut off their heads, and put them on the altar on moonlit nights...'
"Oh my! Stop it. It's horrible."
"What's so horrible about that? Cannibals are fine, but the scariest part is the variety of poisonous insects and beasts, swamps, and miasma inside. Once you're not paying attention, you can easily become food for those things. Speaking of this..."
Kenya suddenly turned her head to Natalia and said thoughtfully, "At that time, if Archie hadn't saved me, I wouldn't have been able to get out of there."
Archie?
What did it matter to Archie that she was training in the army?
Natalia was expressionless, but Mrs. Stevenson explained with a smile.
"Archie came to Othua for a while about six or seven years ago. He happened to run into her and saved her."
So that was it!
Natalia caught on, and Kenya laughed, "I was a little girl at the time, so I couldn't have dealt with so much. If it wasn't for Archie's secret protection all the way, I would probably have died there."
She added, "At that time, I was bitten by a giant poisonous snake and my whole body was paralyzed and I couldn't move. It was only because Archie sucked the poison out of me despite the danger, and stayed with me all night that I survived. In that way, we're sort of comrades in arms."
"I was wondering how you two got on so well now. I guess that's when you formed your bond! I've always heard that Mr. McCarthy is cold and unapproachable. You were the only one who could talk to him all the time."
Kenya smiled sweetly, "What's so cold about Archie? That's because you don't know him well. I think he's quite nice."
"You always speak up for him."
The group laughed happily. Natalia also chuckled, but her heart was inexplicably cold.
Just then, the maids made fresh tea and brought it up.
"Natalia, try some. This is the top quality tea I took from my father especially. He likes it very much. Seeing that it was so good, I rushed to bring it to you to try too."
Mrs. Stevenson laughed, "Won't your father scold you for bringing such good tea from him?"
"No, he won't. My dad is very good to you! He's just not available. If he was free, he would have sent it over himself."
"You're so good at pleasing me."
The group laughed while the maid poured tea for each of them. The cup was small. Natalia picked it up and smelled it, and there was indeed a fragrant aroma that filled the tip of her nose.
She had heard of this type of tea before, which was a special offer. If you weren't a senior member of the state, you couldn't drink it. The McCarthy family, of course, had it, but it was all at William's room. Knowing that neither she nor Archie was keen on tea, William had never bothered to bring it out to them. Whenever he wanted to drink it, he would only make himself a cup.
"Natalia, what do you think of the tea?" Mrs. Stevenson smiled at her.
Natalia tasted it. The tea was slightly bitter at first, then a little aromatic, with more of a clear sweetness than other teas. Other than that, there was nothing different.
Of course, she was not going to be so disrespectful as to tell the truth. She just smiled and nodded, "It's quite good, as expected of a special tea. It's really different from what we normally drink."
Hearing what she said, Mrs. Stevenson smiled with satisfaction. At that moment, one of the maids who had come to refill her cup shook her hand and spilled a pot of freshly brewed tea all over Natalia's body. "Ughhh! What's wrong with you? Are you blind?"
Kenya instantly screamed and hurriedly asked Natalia, "Natalia, how are you? Did you get burnt?"
The tea was very hot, but Natalia was quick to avoid it, so she didn't get much of it and it didn't hurt, except for a big wet spot on her skirt.
"It's okay."
No sooner had Natalia said that than the maid burst into tears, "I'm sorry, Mrs. McCarthy. I didn't mean to. I'm sorry."
"What's the point of saying sorry? Can you afford to take the blame for burning Natalia?" Kenya looked stern.
The maid became even more frightened and stood there with her head bowed. Her eyes were red with fear and she was trembling.
Natalia couldn't bear to look at her like this and spoke out to stop her, "I'm fine, my clothes are just wet, and I didn't get burned. She didn't mean anything by it. Don't blame her."
When she said this, Kenya gradually calmed down.
Mrs. Stevenson also frowned and said to the maid, "Be more careful next time. Got it?"
The maid nodded repeatedly, "Yes, Mrs. Stevenson. I won't dare to do it again."
"Let Kenya take you to change your clothes. It just so happens that you are about the same height. You should be able to wear hers."
Mrs. Stevenson instructed Kenya again to take her to change.
Natalia looked at her dress. It did look a bit unflattering when she was dressed like that, as the water splashed just below her waist, so she nodded. Kenya stood up immediately and smiled, "I just bought some new clothes yesterday. Natalia, let's go to my room."
