Preparations for the herb fields were going smoothly
The next day, I made more herbs than usual. Though, I had been doing that for the past few days.
I then gave the herbs to Sebastian, to make sure that there was enough.
“This should cover for the time that I am gone.”
“Indeed… While they have been selling very well at Mr. Kalis’s store, this should still be enough. And if they run out…”
“Yes. You can use the herbs from the fields.”
“Also, the messenger I sent to Breiyu village has returned with Ms. Delia’s answer. While she was surprised, she has also agreed to it.”
“I see. In that case, preparations for the journey are complete.”
Sebastian had sent out a messenger the day after our talk. And Ms. Delia had agreed to welcoming me as someone she had met by coincidence in Ractos.
“Ah, and the others?”“I have told them as well. There is your Gift, and this involves the duke’s house. And so they will keep it a secret when signing the contract.”
“Thank you.”
Aside from Ms. Delia, he had also contacted the people who I had decided to hire.
I could not leave them hanging without saying anything… It would be very uncomfortable to wait for an answer.
While they were told to abstain from talking about the Gift, they also did not even know that it was Weed Cultivation yet.
I suppose I would tell them once they were all gathered together in Range village.
“Also, there is one other thing, Mr. Takumi.”
“Yes?”
“It is best that you decide on the butler soon. As you will be overwhelmed with work if you are alone.”
During these past few days, I had spoken with Ms. Lyra for advice, and listening to the progress with the house… But I had also been feeling that it was a lot of work.
Besides, I wanted to be sure that I could spend time with Liza and Leo.
“Did you find someone promising?”
“Once the business starts, and things settle down, you will have to think about hiring more. But for now, a few of the butlers from the main house can help you.”
“The main house… The duke’s butlers? Can he spare them?”
“It will not be a problem. They are well trained, and with the best ability. And since you are involved with the duke, they will not object. Besides, His Grace seems to be enthusiastic about it.”
I had never met any of them, but there were other butlers here, outside of Sebastian.
And it definitely looked like they had been trained well.
“Currently, they are preparing to make their way to this house. I think they will arrive after you return from Bleiyu village. And then you can meet them and make your decision.”
“I don’t like having to choose, but I understand. And the ones who are not chosen will be sent back?”
“No. After all, Lady Claire is going to Range village as well. Along with the butlers here, some will be going with her. But then again…if they are not chosen, it might be necessary for them to train again.”
“No, no, no. I don’t think… Not being chosen by me would not mean that they lacked any ability!”
“Hoho. I was merely joking.”
If I could not hire all of them, then someone would be left. That was all. And so he should not be harsh on them.
In the first place, they were from the main house, so it was surely not necessary. But then again, Mr. Ekenhart might send some new ones too, just for his amusement.
I could hear him now, ‘I can’t wait to find out which one Mr. Takumi chooses’…
