Tilura returned after being scolded
I nodded at Mr. Halton’s words. And though I felt like a fraud, I decided to accept the money anyway.
After all, it would trouble him if I refused it.
“Of course, we have not decided which products to sell and at what price yet…”
Still, he suggested that I would be paid two or three coppers with every sale.
That seed like a lot for just slippers, but it was apparently going to be about twenty percent of the price.
“I would be fine with just ten percent. I wasn’t really thinking about profit to begin with…”
“No, that will not do. You are connected to the duke. While it will not be made public, so people may still find out. And it could affect your reputation.”
“You…think so?”
“It is possible. In any case, there is a right price for everything.”
“Well…if you insist.”
I suppose if you always buy things cheaply, people will underestimate you?
Regardless, I decided to leave matter to Mr. Halton for now.
“Well, things will get quite busy now. Still, if you have any ideas, please feel free to tell us, Mr. Takumi.”
“Yes….if I do…”
“Thank you. Now, have a good day.”
We moved to the entrance hall and I saw Mr. Halton off.
As for making suggestions, I was already doing that with Sebastian and even Ms. Helena.
There was only so much that I could do. And I didn’t want to get overwheld with other things.
“The last thing I want to do is beco overworked again. I would rather live a quiet life. Like how things were in Bleiyu village.”
“Mr. Takumi…”
As I was standing in the entrance hall, I saw that Tilura was looking at hesitantly from the hallway.
She was a little teary-eyed, so it was clear that Claire and Sebastian had been talking to her.
“Uh…”
“What is it?”
“…I, I’m sorry! Not just to you, but to Leo and Liza. For causing so much trouble!”
“Yeah. I see…”
Tilura bowed her head and shouted loudly.
It was a good thing that she could apologize.
“Aside from my sister and Sebastian…the others were upset with too…”
“The others?”
“Uhhh… Not Lyra and Gelda… But the head maid…and the other servants. Johanna too.”
“Ah… Hahaha! Well, it’s because they were worried about you.”
Apparently, so of the servants had scolded her as well.
I suppose having so many adults be upset with you like that…could be scary. But she had done sothing very dangerous with Rahle.
Normally, servants would not do sothing like that, given their position. So I saw it as a sign of just how much they cared.
After all, when we were headed towards Ractos, the people who ca with us had all been so worried about her…
