Chapter 520: Need More Money.
Elodia blinked, caught off guard by her husband's unexpected question.
"Teaching? Me?"
She repeated, her voice laced with confusion.Roland nodded, his expression serious yet encouraging.
"Yes. You’ve already been running the orphanage so efficiently, guiding and nurturing those children. I’ve seen how they respect and look up to you. It’s not much of a stretch to imagine you teaching them - and others in a more structured way."
Before becoming Roland’s wife, Elodia had already worked for him as a store clerk. She had been perfect for the role, her years of experience as a guild receptionist making her exceptionally qualified. However, that was before Roland had risen to prominence as the Knight Commander. His new position brought heightened dangers to their lives. As his wife, Elodia was inevitably at risk as well.
The store itself posed challenges. As it attracted customers who were trained adventurers and potentially tier 3 class holders. Many individuals in this world didn’t require weapons to inflict harm or cause wanton destruction. In the past Arthur's brother’s knights had attacked her and Agni, something that still bothered him to this day.
If Roland could transition Elodia into a more controlled environment, such as a teaching institution, ensuring her safety would become significantly easier. He could station sentries throughout the building and conduct background checks on any new children allowed to participate. It was a plan that would protect her while allowing her to use her talents meaningfully.
"I don’t know... Teaching is quite different from running an orphanage. What exactly are you suggesting?"
Elodia’s tone was hesitant, but the fact that she hadn’t dismissed the idea outright gave Roland hope. Now he just needed to convince her.
