Lessons (pt.2)

"Some people cannot help it, you see. They all seek power and wealth. But there is a thing," Alastor stood up in front of the head maid who was shaking.

He could see her trembling lips, she was trying to gather her words. However, she was worried. What if she said something wrong now?

There was a rumor about this little child in front of her.
