Book 2: Chapter 22: His and Her Plan Part 4
Roughly a week after the School Festival, Grave, the head of the Rosenberg household, was feeling very troubled. The source of his troubles was the amount of headache-inducing reports that increased every year regarding his beloved daughter.
It all began about six years ago. The spark that lit the fuse was his exclusive butler, Cedric, recommending his own son as Sophia’s exclusive butler apprentice.
At that time, Grave hadn’t expected in the slightest that a six year old child would be able to carry out the work of an exclusive butler. He simply thought that even the calm and level-headed Cedric had a soft spot for his son.
However, Grave also thought that he always made his own daughter feel lonely. Since he was being recommended by Cedric, the child would at the least have manners and could become Sophia’s playing buddy. That was the reason why he had approved of Cyril becoming her butler in training.
However, that was the first thing he was mistaken about. Cyril wasn’t just a child exceptional for his age.
At age six, soon after he became an exclusive butler apprentice, he had found proof of a maid pilfering and exposed her crime. What’s more, he even said that this maid had been secretly harassing his beloved daughter.
However, this maid was two-faced, so no one had been aware of her actions. Cedric informed him that, if he were to listen to his daughter’s pleas and dismiss the maid, his daughter, along with Grave himself, would be criticised and called tyrannical by the other servants.
Therefore, it was easy to imagine that Cyril’s intention had been to eliminate his daughter’s enemy. However, Cyril had acted before the maid had begun to harass Sophia. It was as if he had known that the maid would start harassing his daughter in the future. Without a doubt, Cyril wasn’t a common child.
Since Cyril had led his investigation under Cedric’s name, there were few people who knew the truth.
