"..." Mr. Cross had no words to say. With the maid as proof, she had admitted that his son would commit a crime.
While her words alone shouldn't carry this much weight, Mr. Cross's silence told me everything.
"What punishment do you think your son deserves? For someone with such a sign of courage, don't you think his punishment should be the weight of his actions?"
"Master, should I leave..?" Currie, who stood there, wanted to leave. She realized she must have done something wrong and felt it wouldn't be a wise choice to stay.
"Stay. It would be more enjoyable with you here." Her plans of leaving were put to a stop with my words.
"Mr. Cross, we could discuss the punishment once I meet your son. Let us start the tour." Since Mr. Cross wouldn't speak, there was no point in forcing him to do what he didn't want.
While I may be cruel, I wasn't here to purposely add a reason to destroy any household. After all, if I did that, most noble households would be destroyed.
