While side-tracked, I explained the important parts
While explaining things to them, they were for so reason surprised to hear that Claire and I would be managing the business together. I suppose Mr. Ekenhart had left that part out.
They were also surprised that I called her by her first na now.
“The master probably wanted to save it as a surprise for you all.”
“Haha. That does sound like him…”
Sebastian sighed and shook his head.
“In that case, we will not only be serving under Mr. Takumi, but Lady Claire as well?”
“Indeed, as they will be living under the sa roof… However, you will be mostly working for Mr. Takumi. Lady Claire will be taking her own servants from this house. As for those of you who are now chosen, you will stay here and work under . After all, Lady Tilura will be staying here.”
Sebastian answered Alfred’s questions.
“I understand. However… If Lady Claire and Lady Tilura are separate… This will be a distributed rule for nobles…”
“Distributed rule…?”
“Is that not it?”
“That is not the intention at all. Well, the result is similar. Mr. Takumi. Distributed rule is…”
According to Sebastian, it was when mbers of a noble family lived in different territories as a way of making sure they were able to govern every part of the land.
In this world, contacting others could take days. And so by living in different parts, they would be able to ensure that the lord’s eye reached far and wide.
However, if the family did not get along, such things could create rifts among the territories, so it was not all good.
“It is really not like that. Please don’t worry about it. Now, Mr. Takumi.”
“Uh, right…”
After that, we returned to the subject at hand. The matter of days off and salary.
For the most part, it would be the sa as the servants in this house.
“In that case, if we are hired, there will be no great changes compared to before?”
“Yes. Well, we will be living in a village instead of a town. So that will be quite different. Also, there is a beastkin child…and another beastkin. Are you fine with that?”
I nodded at Alfred and then told them about Liza and Ms. Delia.
I wasn’t really worried about their reaction, but wanted to make it clear anyway.
“We were inford about that by His Grace. Uh, Lady Liza. Though…who is this other person?”
“She is a beastkin who was found near Ractos village and raised there. She is an adult and will be working as a tutor for Liza. Mainly to teach her to read and write.”
“I had no idea there were other beastkin on the duke’s lands… But it won’t be a problem. We have no ill feelings towards them, and have been taught to not care about those baseless rumors.”
“I am glad to hear that. Well, then… Sebastian. Is there anything else?”
“Indeed… I assu you have all heard about Sherry?”
“Yes. The fenrir who is now the familiar of Lady Claire. The others at the main house were quite happy to hear it. Lady Claire has accomplished quite a great feat.”
It seed Claire had a good reputation back at that house.
Well, I suppose it was not easy to do that with a wild fenrir.
Though, Sherry was still very young. But even then, a familiar contract seed to be very impressive in their eyes…
