Chapter 41

"Outside?"

"Yes."

"Well. There's a limit to telling her to stay inside."

Kentrail sighed. It has already been quite some time since he left the children alone in the mansion. The number of people who can enter the mansion is also restricted, so it was difficult to hire a tutor.

Above all, he felt sorry for Ellie for not attending school.

When they find out that the nanny has betrayed them and lives here, young Ellie will most likely be taken hostage first, so he has no choice.

Because of the situation, it seemed that he was only causing such discomfort to young children.

"Would it be okay?"

"Hmm... then, I'll put Derek on her."

"What? Him?"

"Yes. Now he's almost done with his covert work, so it doesn't matter. Besides, he's the best at it, so you can count on him."

"I'll tell Ellie."

"Yes. Aren't you cramped? If I could just leave the mansion, I'd give you a walk on horseback."

"You can do it after the culprits are caught," Marie said with a light smile so that his heart was not heavy.

"Thank you for saying that."

"Do you have any idea who the culprit is...?"

"No, it's more complicated than that. When my sister-in-law's letter arrived and the accident happened, I found out that one of the maids was missing from Brielle's mother's house."

Kentrail's face darkened as he spoke. Marie's face hardened as well.

She hoped that what doesn't feel right didn't happen.

"Maybe the maid changed it?"

"I don't know. It's just that it's more likely. I'm looking for the maid as much as I can right now."

"I see."

Kentrail was worried if he was right to tell her the situation frankly. He wondered if it would just put a heavy weight on the nanny's heart. However, it was decided that she should be able to know the situation and act in case anything goes wrong.

"The tea is cooling down. It is a tea that clears the head. Go ahead, drink."

"All right."

It was a tea that she deliberately asked the butler for. The tea was said to have come from the East and was fragrant and calmed the mind.

"Try some cookies in front of you. It tastes sweet, so it's good when you're not in a good mood."

"Yes."

Knowing that the men in this family like sweet things, Marie smiled.

"The Young Master ate it as a snack during the day, too."

"Really?"

"Yes. He grabbed his head around doing the homework the Count gave him, and he put one in his mouth every time he took a break."

The figure of his nephew grabbing his head was painted clear.

"Was it too difficult?"

"No, it wasn't. After wandering around for a while, he found a solution right away."
