Candidates for senior servant positions arrived. As expected from Marquis Onofrio’s recommendation, they were all polite and behaved properly. First, Calogero introduced himself. “Even though you come with Marquis Onofrio’s introduction, I believe some of you may have complicated circumstances. I am also the High Priest, so if you wish, please take this opportunity to confess and atone.” Right from the start, he said something outrageous, and the candidates were either taken…-

Edward didn’t bother to hide his displeased expression as he asked Calogero to use his sin-revealing skill. “It’s an untrustworthy skill, but better than doing nothing.” “The untrustworthy thing is your sin, isn’t it? It’s about time you atoned. Listen, just because someone did something to you doesn’t mean you can do the same back – that’s childish reasoning. And you should recognize that it’s an actual sin. You’re not that young anymore, are you?” “I’m younger…

A reply came from the head of the Onofrio Marquis family. Edward read it aloud to Sylvia and explained it in simple terms. After that, he called Gina and Calogero. “They said they would send a tutor… apparently a marquis’s daughter.” Gina and Calogero exchanged glances. Gina looked puzzled, and Calogero slightly furrowed his brows. Edward scratched his head. “Hmm… maybe they consider Lady Sylvia’s education to be more important? It seems a maid will come along too, so…

Edward reluctantly consulted Calogero about the matter of maid training. Calogero also listened unwillingly and agreed reluctantly. “…It would’ve been better if Ms. Gina had asked me directly. Asking a middle man do a middle thing is just a waste of time.” “She asked me because she couldn’t trust you! Try to understand Gina’s distress.” As usual, they exchanged sharp words, and Edward and Calogero decided to ask Marquis Onofrio for help. They chose not to ask Baron Eliseo…

“By the way, there’s one more thing I wanted to ask.” Gina brought it up. “Actually, this request might be even more important… I want someone to train me as a lady’s maid. At this rate, I feel like I won’t be able to properly serve Lady Sylvia, a Duke’s daughter.” Edward, who had been walking beside her, looked at Gina. That was something Edward had been thinking about too. Indeed, she had done well despite lacking knowledge. But Edward himself didn’t know the proper…

The more people moved around, the more troubles, big or small, broke out. In particular, those hoping to immigrate from neighboring countries caused a lot of trouble. After filling out the necessary forms at the government office, immigration applicants had an interview with Sylvia. On such occasions, Calogero also attended along with Edward, and used his sin-revealing skill to see their guilt. Edward didn’t trust Calogero’s skill at all, since he himself was a special case, but…

The peninsula governed by Sylvia had abundant resources and a thriving primary industry. Because of that, even though it was isolated, it had avoided becoming a ruined town. Furthermore, after the bridge was built, people came from the neighboring country looking for business opportunities, and trade rapidly became more active. Crops that had often gone to waste suddenly started being traded, and Edward and the Mayor had to hastily impose restrictions. The sudden influx of people caused confusion…

But Gina didn’t come back even after several days. The workshop had already become dependent on Gina, and once the employees finished the sewing tasks they had been assigned, they didn’t know what to do next. They asked the master for instructions, but he didn’t know what Gina had been doing or how far she had gotten. The mistress had also left most of the household matters to Gina. Gina couldn’t cook no matter what, so that was the mistress’s job, but Gina had been handling…

When Gina ran away from home, it was the morning after she had left that the master, his wife, and their son realized she was gone. It was because Gina hadn’t been having dinner with everyone for quite some time. Long ago, when they sat at the table together, the master had said sarcastically, “Sitting leisurely at the table during such a busy time, how carefree. If you’ve got that much free time, you should’ve taken on more work.” Because of that remark, Gina wouldn’t eat…
