Chapter 1095
The conversation ended with some hope
I just wanted to grow herbs and enjoy life with Leo and Liza. I didn't want to be superior to others… It just looked so troublesome.
Indeed, with the power of Leo and the fenrirs, one could probably do anything they want. But that was not why I had befriended the fenrirs.
And I would never use Leo for such a thing.
"That being said, as Mr. Takumi and I only learned of this now, we cannot make any suggestions to His Grace."
"Ye-yes."
"Of course, this system is only applied when there is an opening for such a position. And being recommended is no guarantee that you can become a noble. Please keep that in mind."
"I will…"
"And one word of advice… The master is currently interested in this house, Ractos and Mr. Takumi. Whether you stay here or go with Mr. Takumi, you will have plenty of opportunities to make yourself noticed."
So…it seemed like the problem had been solved.
"Still, was everything really alright, Sebastian?"
"What do you mean?"
Once Winfield was gone, I took a sip of my tea and turned to Sebastian.
He looked as if he did not understand, but I knew that he did.
"The way you said it, it seemed like being recommended is quite likely? But what if there is no need for a new noble for a long time…"
Surely it was not something that happened often.
As for Ms. Anne, she had changed quite a lot since she came here. She had been shown mercy, and knew there would not be another chance.
"Well, there are many nobles who have committed crimes that they hide. It may not be long until another one is stripped of their title."
"Still, I think you said that so he would work as a servant. If he was not convinced, he would continue to blame himself."
Sebastian nodded.
And then Claire entered the room while talking.
"Claire…you came in through the window. Liza and Leo too… Ah, Leo, you're too big. You'll have to come around."
"Wuff…"
"Mama, let's go together!"
"Lady Claire. That is not very polite."
"Ah, I'm sorry."
Sebastian scolded her, but Claire just apologized with a laugh.
"Hah… At least it was not while other people were around. Though, Mr. Takumi did see you."
"Ah! Mr. Ta-takumi! I just forgot myself for a moment…that's all…"
"Haha. It's fine. If you wanted to come in with that timing, you had to come in through the window."
"In any case, Winfield will likely work more seriously from now on. He is young and has potential, so it should be good for the house and Mr. Takumi."
"Yes. Everyone has ideas and feelings they can't give up on…"
Now that I thought about it, Claire had some special feelings when it came to Silver Fenrirs.
She had said it when we were searching through the forest. That she would try not to care about it so much now.
And so she understood how Winfield felt.
"Papa!"
"Wuff. Kuun…"
"Haha. You came through the house. Good, good."
"Hehe. Welcome back, good Leo."
"Wuff!"
Previously, Leo would try to look more mature when around Liza and Sherry. But these days, she would always rub up against me and wanted me to pet her.
Apparently, she did not care any more.
Perhaps it was because of that time Liza saw me rubbing Leo's belly.
Also, she might know that if she hesitated, I might pet the fenrirs instead? I might be overthinking it, but I had a feeling that I was not wrong…
