Madam Roux

"The well is a bit far, and everyone in here has too many things to do because of the upcoming festival. If you do not mind, you can fetch for them, Madam."

Wow... I thought. 'The audacity of these people, even in front of the guests.'

And then realizations struck me.

Even though we were the guest of the Earl, the Roux Family we go by had no noble status. These servants probably believed that Jaime Malum let us stay for the night because my son was friends with the Earl.

Were they trying to give me a hard time so we won't come back again? Hah... how silly and pathetic. I truly felt bad for the young Lord in this place. Just what sort of person were they trying to create by maltreating this innocent boy? It reminded me of the sad childhood of the La Crox siblings.

"This is the cleanest, huh?" I glanced at the two boys and smiled at them weakly. "I'll fetch you some waters myself."
