Kai and Kirie (3)

Kirie was poking snow from the path leading to the back storeroom when from the direction of the knights' dormitory several knights ran towards the front of the mansion. In almost three seasons with the workers at Lucsor mansion never once had Kirie seen knights running around like that. He became curious and thought of joining in the run to the front. 

"Where are you going, Kirie?" asked a servant who was working with him. 

Kirie did not run and then looked back. "I want to see what makes the knights run in such a hurry." Kirie pointed at the knights' footprints in the thin snow that had just been cleared. 

The manservant glanced at his waist after throwing his shovel towards the unplowed snow. It was upright there. "What if it's a villain? And when that knight doesn't even realize you're there then you'll be in danger!"
