I listened to Mr. Aloysius first
“It’s nothing really important… Just, when you were riding on Fen. It kind of seed like you were threatening Walter?”
“So you noticed… How embarrassing.”
What Aloysius then said to , it related to Ms. Cheryl as well. In fact, several of the servants who had co.
In other words, the ones who were orphans.
Aloysius, Keith, Gilbert, Cheryl and Chita.
Aloysius and Cheryl had been from the slums before entering the orphanage.
Cheryl, in particular, had been from a town that was close to the duke’s main house. But Aloysius…
“I was not from here, but in a different territory entirely. Even if it was the sa country, slums can be quite different depending on the lord.”
“Really?”
He explained the rest with a grim expression. It was even worse than what Liza had been through.
Fighting with weapons was normal, as were people stealing your food if they had the chance.
Even if you were wounded, you could not expect help from others. The area was so poor that there were not even stores he could steal from.
There were so guards to keep the peace, but they rarely acted in the town unless soone was killed.
From what I was hearing, it was hard to think this was the sa country…
“Back then, in order to survive, I had to threaten people. Of course, I was just bluffing, and I stopped doing it after coming here…”
“I see.”
“I was surprised how things were much safer here. I had fled and was a wanderer, but they did not drive out. Instead, they took in at the orphanage. There was an orphanage in my old town as well, but you needed money.”
“Money for an orphanage?”
It was a place to offer protection and raise orphans. It made no sense to take money from them.
According to Claire, noble lords were actually required to run and manage orphanages… But perhaps so saw it as a ans to make a profit?
“They did not receive much money from the nobles. And so even if you got in, the life there was so so poor…you might even be better off in the slums.”
“So that’s why…”
“After I left the orphanage, I decided to work for the duke. With my life, I wanted to serve him.”
Ms. Cheryl and Ms. Chita nodded in agreent.
It was like Sebastian said. Those who were hired from the orphanage were very loyal to Mr. Ekenhart.
“In that case, wouldn’t you hate having to work for …?”
“Not at all. The master explained it himself. This is very important for his house. By serving you, I can help to repay my debt to him. And after seeing the Silver Fenrir and fenrir, I understand what he ant.”
“Exactly. We all know how this house is related to Silver Fenrirs. And you can also use the Gift…”
“We believe you are very important, Mr. Takumi. For both the glory of the duke and this country.”
“…I think you are exaggerating. But if you are fine with it… I’m glad.”
