School Faction Riot Part One 3
After returning to the mansion, I began moving to protect the children from the slums in earnest.
First, I summoned a maid and instructed her to have them washed, while in the meantime, I wrote a letter to the master for permission to hire them.
I put the reason for it being that they could become teaching materials to help educate Lady Sophia in the ways of understanding human nature. This might sound terrible, but without permission we wouldn’t be able to keep them here either way.
By the time I finished writing the letter, the maid returned with the children to my office.
“Cyril, I washed the children just as you told me. I couldn’t tell at first because they were really dirty, but they’re quite the hidden gems.”
Behind the maid, the two siblings were curiously inspecting the surroundings. The clothes they were wearing were probably borrowed from one of the servant’s children.
Although it wasn’t possible to completely hide the poor upbringing shown in their appearance, they both had the potential to shine if polished.
“Thanks for your hard work. I’ve told the chef to prepare some confectioneries, so you should go down and take a break.”
“Are you sure? As expected of you, Cyril. Please let me know if you ever have trouble sleeping, I’d be happy to keep you company at night.”
