Inheritor Of Magic: The Magi King

Chapter 1110: 1110 Kitchens Are Important

Belle stepped to the side with the Petros Family butler candidate, and Wolfe turned to the rest of the Head Maid candidates.

“I will start with the bad news. There are five among the twenty of you who have a horrible reputation with your former coworkers, and one whose employer granted the staff a day’s leave and access to his wine room to celebrate the fact you will never be returning to their home.

I won’t say which one is which, but I will say that such a lack of recommendation puts you out of contention for the department head positions. However, I will not be dismissing you entirely.

If you receive a black paper, you have been eliminated from contention for a department head job. You are free to leave, either back home, or to one of the other locations in this world. Or you may stay and join the general staff as one of the castle maids and attempt to redeem yourself and earn a spot in the hearts of your coworkers.

For this first batch, I do hope that you stay and try to make a better impression here than you did at home. None of you would be welcomed back.”

The candidates all went silent and stared at Wolfe in shock. Did he have no sense of tact and delicacy? Or just how bad were these first five eliminations? They hadn’t even done any tests yet, and they had been eliminated simply because of their former employer’s opinion of them.

Wolfe stepped forward and handed out the five papers. One began crying, while four of them glared at Wolfe with hatred in their eyes.

“You can’t be serious.” One of the women insisted.

Wolfe didn’t reply, instead he opened the portal back to her home castle, and amplified the noise in the background.

“Finally, that bitch is gone. No more random whippings because she got turned down by a stable hand, no more kicking over the wash bucket to get us beat for slacking off at work, no more head maid taking bribes to let the guards have their way with us.” One of the women in a nearby room was ranting, while the others cheered, obviously drunk.

Wolfe deactivated the spell, and shrunk the portal again.

“Did you want to hear more of what your coworkers thought of you? I will warn you right now, you will be on probation here, and if I hear of any similar misbehaviour from you in the future, you will be dismissed entirely.

I agreed to give all of the candidates that we took in today a chance, but that doesn’t mean more than one chance.” Wolfe informed her, while the other candidates looked at her in disgust.

Even the others who had been black paged looked at her the same way. They might have been hated, but they had never gone that far.

The candidate that was crying looked up at Wolfe with red, puffy eyes.

“Will you give us an honest chance? I swear it’s not my fault that they all hate me. I was just the daughter of the Lord’s Mistress, who poisoned his wife.” She pleaded.

“We will. That goes for all of you. I expect that everyone here will give the others the same courtesy. Do not hold their past or their elimination from the interview today against them. There are more of you than there are positions, and many of you have the same skills.

Not all of you will get a head of department job, but you may get one in the future, or an equivalent position within the staff housing on the other side of the valley.” Wolfe explained.

The candidates began to get serious at that. Wolfe was right, there were more of them than there were departments, so not all of them would be getting top jobs.

“Might I ask what order will the positions be determined in?” One of the candidates, a burly blonde woman whose arms were nearly as thick as Wolfe’s legs, without any sign of chubbiness to her figure, asked.

“I will confer with my Pentacles to pick the Head Maid, then the Head Maid will work with us to determine the other department heads who work under her.

The only one who will not be under the head maid is the Kitchen Head and her chefs. The rest of the kitchen staff will be under the head maid, but we have always treated chefs as professional tradespeople, and not part of the maid staff.” Wolfe explained.

That startled a number of them. Normally, the cooks were just maids who could cook. They were rotated in and out on weekly job rotas, not full-time chefs.

A slender old woman gave Wolfe a curious look. “And what positions will the Head Chef be responsible for?”

“They will be choosing the full-time chefs who come to apply later, if there aren’t enough of them among the applicants here. We will need a head chef, plus four others. One for each meal and one for pastries and desserts. However, they must be able to cover all roles, so we are not missing meals when someone has a day off.”

The old woman smiled, and the one whose employers had been bemoaning the loss of the lemon danishes winked at her.

The big woman who asked about the order laughed. “I can see it already. The positions for castle chefs will be more tightly contested than the Head Maid position. We might all be proud of our work, but that doesn’t hold a candle to how proud some of us are of our cooking.”

The others nodded, and the old woman nodded. “Cooking is a passion for most of us, and most households rotate maids through the kitchen.”

Cassie smiled. “We will too, just not the official chefs. There will be close to a hundred people to feed every day, and one woman per meal is not enough for that. So the chefs will have a staff from the maids, and the Head Chef will be the Kitchen Head as well, in charge of inventory and meal planning.

Now, if you would like to be considered for Head Chef, put your hand up. We might as well do that now, as it appears that there is more passion for that job than leading the maids.”
