Chapter 9: chapter 9

The mansion is a three-story building, about the size of a school sports gymnasium.

　My room and Elina's room are on the third floor, and my father's bedroom and study are also on the third floor.

However, the rooms are located on opposite sides of the house.

Therefore, it was a bit of a walk for me, a two-year-old, to get to my father's study.

　In fact, it took me five minutes to get there.

　In a previous life, I shared a room with my third sister and felt quite cramped, so I was longing for a bigger house. ......

　I never thought it would be too big and inconvenient.

　Knock-knock.

　After knocking on the door twice and saying, 'This is Luke,' I entered the study after being told to come in by my father.

　In the study, my father was sitting on a chair, looking over what appeared to be documents at hand and talking with his butler, Sebas.

　I don't know what they were talking about.

　Incidentally, the butler, Sebas, is a tall, bearded, first-generation grandfather in his late fifties.

　He is a super butler-guardsman grandpa who has mastered self-defense and swordsmanship, and in addition to his butler duties, he also provides security for the mansion.

"What's up Luke?" my father Lloyd asked me why I had come to his study.

"Yes, I came to talk to you about Arche."

"What about Arche?　Tell me."

"Yes, Arche has a child. As a mother, she would like to live with her own child, so can't that child also be raised with in the mansion?"

　"Father," I said.

"Her own child, huh?"

　After a short pause, he asked me a question.

"Luke, is this not your own idea, but that of the next lord?"

"The idea of an next lord?　"

　What do you mean ...... Oh,i get it.

　I am the next lord who will succeed my father as lord in the future.

　In other words, he is saying that in my position as the next lord, I will have more power and responsibility in what I say, like a vice-president. Probably.

　Thinking this, I replied to him with a strong 'yes.

"I understood. Then I will give you all the rights to the servants, including Arche. Do as you please."

"What?"

I was about to reply, "Yes," when I realized what I had been told.

Was I allowed to do so?

　Not only that.

　I was given some kind of servant's rights, what does that mean?

I was not sure what he meant, so I checked with him to make sure I understood what he was saying. "And I can do whatever I want with Arche's children?" Yes. He said . ......

What is this development?

I was going to bite back after he refused, so I can't keep up with the flow of the conversation!

"Isn't it so hard and fastidious a rule that it's obligatory?"

'Don't be ridiculous!' I thought I would be told harshly, 'It's natural for the servants to serve their Lords! I was expecting to be told something like,"

　I really didn't expect that.

　I was so stunned that I was left standing on my feet, but my father took two keys out of his desk drawer and handed them to Sebas.

I am so sorry, sir," he said."

　Sebas then led me out of the study and into the hallway.

　Meanwhile, my father was looking over the papers in his hand as if nothing had happened.

"Then, Master Luke, shall we go?"

"Where are we going?"

"In the basement of the mansion."

"The basement?"

"Yes, Master Luke."

　If you go down the central staircase from the first floor, you will find yourself in the basement.

　There is one long hallway there, and there are five rooms that are locked. ......

why would we go down there?

I guess you have a key, so you must have a used those rooms.

　Sebas led the way, walking slowly ahead of me as I was two years old.

　It takes us probably close to 3 minutes to get to the basement.

　I took advantage of the three minutes to ask Sebas what I really wanted to ask my father.

"Hey, Sebas. Why did my father entrust me with servants ?"

"Luke-sama asked for the authority of the servants. Lloyd gave his permission. That's all there is to it."

I asked for the authority of a servant?　I only mentioned Arche, didn't I?

"I want Arche's children waqs rised in the house. That's what I said, isn't it?"

"Yes."

"Raising a child other than Elina's with her will be a heavy burden for Arche. She will not be able to do the things she used to be able to do. Arche was entrusted not only with the childcare, but also with the housework."

"Oh, ...... then someone else will have to take care of the housework that she can no longer do. It will be hard for Arche, too, so we all need to help  her ."

"That's right. We all have to support Arche even more than before. Although the workload may be small compared to Arche herself, the entire mansion is still in motion. What Master Luke said to Master Lloyd will affect everyone who lives in the mansion".

　......Wow.

　I hadn't thought that far ahead.

"I'm sorry, Sebas. I was only thinking about Arche.

It's okay, Master Luke, you just have to think about it, learn about it, and know about it from now on. Just go to .......""

"Just what?"

"If Master Luke cannot organize us well, the servants' rights will revert to Master Lloyd and the status quo will remain."

　I'm not sure how I feel about that.

I'm not sure how good I can handle it.

I want Arche to be able to spend time with her own children.

　But how exactly can I ...... do that?

"Sebas, how can I get everyone together?　How can I make sure that Arche's child can live in the mansion?"

Sebas stopped and gently opened his mouth with a smile, bending his knees, his eyes meeting mine.

'That's it, Master Luke."

"That's it?"

"If you are having trouble understanding, you can ask the others. I am sure that I will be able to help Luke-sama in any way I can."

 

"　Thank you Sebas, I will take good care of all of you from now on."
