Children always think that they can do things perfectly, but in the eyes of adults they are still full of flaws. The difference lies only in experience.
Just like Ezio and other children, they thought that they would go into a kitchen of a certain house, take food, cover it up and leave without anyone noticing. But early the next morning, the kitchen was robbed.
He was stabbed in front of a certain magician.
The person who discovered it was of course the servant from the family of the Grand Duke of Kawe, the chef in charge of the kitchen. After all, the kitchen was his one-third of an acre. If there was something missing or something added and he couldn't find it, it would be better to do it as soon as possible.
Returning to my hometown and retiring, it is not suitable to serve such a big shot in his kitchen.
However, the chef did not come to the magician in person to complain. Instead, he explained it to the deacon who took care of all the affairs for Marquis Balan. The loyal butler naturally wanted to come to the owner of the house, the housekeeper.
The magician reports what happened.
"So, the house was robbed?" Lin confirmed in surprise.
"Yes, Your Excellency." The deacon replied simply. Although the stolen items were food, and in terms of amount, they were not very expensive items, but they were paid for by the Marquise's family after all. No matter where the thief was, he could steal something from a nobleman.
It's a mistake on the head.
If he were to stay in the Grand Duke's castle, the thing being discussed now would be how to deal with this thief who has not yet been caught. It depends on whether he wants to skin him, stand in a cage, or hang him. But now that he is on the magician's territory, he also has to respect what is in front of him.
This person's opinion.
For Lin, in his eyes, the protection of this home was not watertight. But it was still hard for him to believe that he was attacked by a thief. So he asked: "What did we lose?"
"A lot of food was stolen from the kitchen."
"food?"
"Yes, there are all kinds of food. Most of the bread, some fruits, one can of milk and some chocolate are missing." The deacon stated truthfully.
"Girl, what's going on?" Because it's breakfast time, most of the people are waiting for breakfast in the restaurant. The two apprentices, as the main caretakers, are also busy in and out. Someone will ask by name,
Of course, this is because they are also responsible for the system inspection and monitoring of this home, although this part is mainly handled by Kaya.
It is impossible for a thief to invade and escape surveillance. Unless the opponent has reached the level of elusiveness or elusiveness. Or the opponent has escaped the automatic alarm mechanism by luck, and the two girls who are the review mechanism are dozing off. So when
Teacher, of course you have to ask.
Kaya just put breakfast on the table and the work at hand came to an end. So she reached out and wiped it on her apron, walked towards her teacher, and said at the same time: "Teacher, this is Ezio."
Everyone's ears stood up when they heard the name of the fat boy who had been missing for several days. Although the Marquise's butler remained calm, he also complained that he was indeed a stupid boy without parents.
However, Lin knew that his apprentice often skipped words and spoke only half the words. So he still asked in detail: "What happened to that kid? How did he sneak back to this house? Who threatened him?"
, or control him?"
"No, teacher. Ezio sneaked back with a group of children and took the food for themselves and other children."
Lin frowned and asked, "Are you sure?"
"Yes, Hardy and I followed them and saw the whole situation." Kaya said with certainty. She briefly told what happened in the past few days, when she and the gray cat Hardy took turns following the group of children.
"In other words, that kid is hanging out with other children now?"
"Yes, teacher."
After confirming the situation, Lin's brows widened and he said, "Then just ignore them."
The butler of the Marquise asked in confusion: "Your Excellency, what do you mean?"
"It is the responsibility of us adults to let the children have enough to eat. Besides, if a group of children can eat as much as they want, let them take it. If the Marquis thinks this is a loss, then calculate the amount. Let me make up for it." Lin seemed to be saying something very natural and said with a smile.
This attitude seemed to suit Kaya's liking. Although her face was expressionless, she secretly weighed her toes. If she had been in the past, she would have flicked the two braids without leaving a trace. Now her hair is tied up. , but she couldn’t see the childish look of her braided hair, but that didn’t stop her teacher from knowing from the gently dancing hair that this girl was in a good mood.
The person who also noticed these subtle signs was not the blond girl who grew up with Kaya, but her friend of the heart, the Marquise Balan. Although her face could not be shown in front of outsiders and men, the Marquise had to eat The location is separate from the others.
But before eating, she would still gather in the restaurant. Sometimes she would chat with the dark-haired and brown-skinned girl, and sometimes it would be to see if what she was eating was the same as others; of course, most of the time it would be in her own name. He goes to the teacher's side to see if there is any need for his own help. When it comes to his apprentices, Fen doesn't let them go free at all, he simply lets them go...
In short, the Marquise Balan, who noticed Kaya's mood, said to her housekeeper: "Mr. Adil, will the value of the food taken away be very high?" The Marquise avoided the word 'stealing', and she was in this situation. After living at home for a period of time, my outlook on money is no longer the same as it used to be. I don’t know everything about it.
Facing the problem of the family leader, the deacon said without subjectivity: "Master, the loss is not much." He evaluated in his heart that compared with the output of Balan's territory, even if it was stolen by those children for a whole year, Food loss is really just drizzle.
"Okay, then don't worry about them." Marquis Balan set the tone for the matter.
"Yes, Master." The deacon bowed and agreed to the matter. Although he was opposed to this kind of behavior of being stolen in his heart without saying a word. But after all, Adil is not the decision-maker, but just a member of the noble family. A managerial executor who has no authority to question the family head's decisions.
Unbeknownst to those children, their food had a fixed location. However, they were still kept in the dark and happily followed Ezio every day, sneaking into the home of a magician they thought was stupid and lazy. , and then secretly retrieved delicious bread and other food. Ezio's prestige among the children increased day by day.
Rowan, the eldest son who originally led the children, did not stay aloof. He followed every bread-stealing operation except the first day. In addition to confirming the situation with his own eyes, he also felt that he needed to take care of everyone. If something happens temporarily, he can solve it as soon as possible.
It's just that everything went too smoothly, so smoothly that it seemed like it was all fake.
