“I’ll do it. If you’ll let me, I’ll like to move to manage the orphanage full time,” I blurted out before I could stop myself.

King’s emotionless face transformed into a look of frank surprise while I felt Reiner stiffen next to me as he turned to glare at my face. After saying that so boldly, I had no other options left but to hold my ground. I am not going to back out of my words. Although my idea was crazy at best, I didn’t regret my proposal at all.
“Will you…allow it, please?” I asked King when he failed to give me a response.
“Interesting. Very interesting…” King commented as he rubbed his chin in thought.
“I cannot allow it. We’ll find another way,” Reiner spoke up before King could come to a conclusion.
