Chapter 884: Response
Children always think they can do things perfectly, but they are still full of flaws in the eyes of adults. Where the gap is, only experience.
It's like Ezio and the other children, who thought they would go into the kitchen of a certain house and get food, and then cover up and leave. But the next morning, the kitchen was burglarized, and he was stabbed in front of a certain magician.
The person who found it was, of course, the servant from the family of the Grand Duke of Kaveh, the cook in charge of the kitchen. After all, the kitchen is his one-third of an acre, if there is something missing or something more, there is no way to find out, then it is better to go back to his hometown as soon as possible, retire and retire, it is not suitable to serve him in the kitchen of such a big man.
However, the cook did not come to the magician himself to complain, but explained it to the deacon, who took care of the affairs of the Marquis of Balan. Naturally, the dutiful gentleman had to come and report what had happened to the master of the house, the magician.
"So, there was a burglar in the house?" Lin confirmed in surprise.
"Yes, Your Excellency." The deacon replied simply. Although the stolen thing was food, in terms of amount, it was not a very expensive thing, but after all, it was the expenses of the marquis's family. No matter where the thief is, it is a mistake to steal from the nobles.
If you stay in the Grand Duke's castle, the matter now is what to do with the thief who has not yet been caught. See if you want to skin, stand in a cage, or hang yourself. But now it's the magician's territory, and he also has to respect the opinion of the person in front of him.
For Lin, the protection of this home is in his eyes, although it is not yet leaky. But the fact that he was robbed still made it hard for him to believe. So he asked, "What did we lose?" ”
"A lot of food was stolen from the kitchen."
"Food?"
"Yes, all kinds of food. The bread was the most, there was some fruit, a tin of milk was missing, and the chocolate was missing. The deacon stated truthfully.
"Girl, what's going on?" Because it was breakfast time, most of the people waited in the restaurant for breakfast. The two apprentices, as the main caretakers, are also busy in and out. Someone will ask by name, of course, because they are also in charge of the family's system inspection and monitoring, although this part is mostly handled by Kaya.
And it is impossible for a thief to invade this kind of thing to escape surveillance. Unless the opponent reaches the realm of supernatural and elusive. Or the other party has escaped the automatic alarm mechanism, and the two girls who are the review mechanism are napping. So if you are a teacher, of course, you have to ask.
Kaya had just brought breakfast to the table, and the business at hand was over. So she reached out and wiped it on her apron, and then walked towards her teacher, and at the same time said, "Teacher, it's Ezio." ”
Hearing the name of the fat boy who had been missing for days, everyone's ears stood up. Although the deacon of the marquisess was silent, she also slandered that she was really a muddy boy with no parents.
However, Lin knew that his apprentices often saved too much of their words, and had the problem of only saying half of what they said. So he still asked in detail: "What's the matter with that kid?" How did you steal back to this home? Does anyone threaten him, or control him? ”
"No, teacher. Ezio sneaks back with a group of children, bringing food for themselves and the other children. ”
Lin frowned and asked, "Are you sure?" ”
"Yes, Hardy and I followed them and saw the whole situation." Kaya said with certainty. Briefly tell about the past few days, and take turns with the gray cat Hardy to follow behind the group of children.
"So that kid is messing with the other kids now?"
"Yes, teacher."
After confirming the situation, Lin's brows furrowed and said, "Then leave them alone." ”
The deacon of the marquis asked puzzled, "Your Excellency, what do you mean?" ”
"It's the responsibility of those of us as adults to feed our children. Besides, how much can a group of children eat, since they want to take it, let them take it. If the Marquis's Mansion thinks that this is a loss, then calculate the amount and let me make up for it. Lin said with a smile as if he was talking about something that was taken for granted.
Such an attitude seems to be in line with Kaya's heart. Although her face was expressionless, her toes were secretly checked. If she had been before, the two braids would have been flicked without a trace. Now that her hair is coiled, she can't see the childish appearance of throwing braids, but it doesn't prevent her teacher from knowing the fact that this girl is in a good mood from the gently dancing ends of her hair.
The same person who sensed these signs was not the blonde girl who grew up with Kaya, but her friend of heart, the Marquis of Balan. Although her face could not be seen in front of outsiders and men, the place where the Marquisette dined was separate from the others.
But before she eats, she still gathers at the restaurant. Sometimes it's to talk to a girl with black hair and brown skin, sometimes it's to see if you eat the same as everyone else; Of course, more often than not, I follow my nominal teacher to see if there is a time when I need to contribute. For his apprentice, Fen is not free-range at all, it is simply free-......
In short, the Marquis of Baran, who sensed Kaya's mood, said to her butler: "Mr. Adile, will the food that has been taken from be of high value?" "The Marquis avoided the word 'steal', and she has lived in this home for some time, and her view of money is no longer the same as in the past.
Faced with the question of the head of the house, the deacon said without subjectivity: "Master, the loss is not much. He estimated in his heart that compared to the output of Balan's territory, even if it was stolen by that group of children for a whole year, the loss of food was really just a drizzle.
"Okay, then leave them alone." The Marquis of Balaam set the tone for the matter.
"Yes, master." The deacon bowed and agreed. Although in my heart I oppose this kind of behavior that has been stolen, but I am silent. But Adil was not a decision-maker after all, but only a management executive in a noble family, and he did not have the power to question the decisions of the head of the family.
It was also when the children did not know that their food had a fixed place. However, they were still kept in the dark, and every day they happily followed Ezio into the house of a magician they thought was stupid and lazy, and then secretly retrieved delicious bread and other food. Ezio's prestige among the children grew.
The eldest who originally led the children, Rowan did not stay out of the way, he kept up with every bread stealing operation except for the first day. In addition to confirming the situation with his own eyes, he also felt that it was necessary for him to contribute to taking care of everyone. If something happens temporarily, he can solve it as soon as possible.
It's just that everything is going so smoothly that it's all going as if it's all fake.
