No matter which world you live in, you will be able to see people who want wealth, thrones, and everything to rule the world. Where you stand, you will also see the people who fought them. So whatever happens to you, you just have to deal with it wisely.
If you can't fight them, relax, you just need to support those who are against them. If it turns out you can fight them, face it to the best of your ability, show that you can. You will find your place, a place that can be called "home".
Just like what I said, I found rotten people in this world, who want everything and are willing to sacrifice others to the point of suffering. I know that while there are such people, the world will never find peace. Even if it was just a trivial conflict, between nobles and other nobles, this would still cause other people to suffer. For that, in this case, Arsenio explained his mindset about what he knows to me.
There were dozens of maids and servants in this house, but the longest there was only one. The servant had worked for the De Jansen Family for 36 years, ever since he was 17. However, he wasn't that Arsenio suspected, but someone else.
Indeed, since 7 years and 9 months ago, this family suddenly had a lot of maids servants, and the average of them were women aged 20-25 years. Even so, that wasn't what Arsenio suspected either.
Before I go to Arsenio's explanation, I will explain the data I got about the maids and servants of this castle from my mother, Cecelia. I can help and simplify what he explained to me. With that information, the explanation can make sense to me.
Arsenio explained this because he realized something, I realized that too, that's why I know that it makes a lot of sense. What he realized was about the "insider" in this castle, who helped find a magic teacher for me.
Cecelia once told me about the maid.
Ten years ago, a young woman suddenly signed up to become a maid for the De Jansen Family. At that time, the young woman had just decided to retire from her position, namely a knight.
She managed to work here and become a maid for Androcles and Cecelia in this castle. She worked hard and diligently, was able to clean all the dirt in this castle in detail, and was able to cook well and deliciously—I've tasted her cooking before.
She was kind to me and Arsenio. She is like a professional babysitter to me. She didn't forget to give us some snacks, some toys, and also didn't forget to clean our bodies when we were 2 years old. And the best thing about her is the breasts that she has are so big. I used to stare at it for so long, and it felt like I wanted to suck on it more than Cecelia had. That's very tempting.
"Hehehe..."
"You must be thinking about perverted things again, right?" Arsenio asked.
"Nope. Somehow she has amazing boobs."
"See, I was right."
"My wife died a long time ago since my daughter was born, so I'm free to think about lewd things."
"You perverted little boy."
"Hehehe..."
The maid was named Jamila, a woman with long brown hair who is currently 30 years old with a curvaceous body and no husband.
Jamila works here and says she will be loyal to Androcles and Cecelia. She was given the trust by Cecelia to become the Butler of maids because of her diligence in that work. Androcles and Cecelia trusted her more than anything, and that put her in full responsibility for the maids in this castle.
However, when I think back, and what Arsenio did; won't trust humans anymore easily; it seems Jamila isn't a good person to Androcles and Cecelia.
I think this time, I will not be easily fooled by humans. I thought so after Arsenio said that he wouldn't trust humans anymore. For that, suspecting Jamila, it doesn't matter to me at all.
Even so, I still have to suspect with clear evidence. So, I should not be careless to judge other people who are near me, moreover, she is Cecelia and Androcles' confidant.
Jamila was the one who recommended Evan to be my teacher to Androcles. She managed to gain the trust for it and was able to get Androcles to quickly have Evan come here, to teach me magic.
With that evidence, with Jamila recommending Evan to be my teacher, it was clear that she was an insider at the castle, "which helped Evan to get to work here as my magic teacher".
For that, realizing that alone made Arsenio suspicious of her.
"So that means we have to beat two people?" I ask.
"I guess so. Do you know where she worked before?"
"I don't know. I don't have that information. Cecelia just said that she is a former knight."
Most likely, Jamila and Evan had worked at the same place.
They were both former knights and probably worked for a noble family. So most likely, the place they worked before was the one that sent them here, to kill Androcles and Cecelia—I mean, to kidnap Arsenio.
So, it wasn't just Evan who was aiming to do that, but Jamila too. For that, they will work here and carry out the mission they have been given.
"It's like this again," I said, sighing.
"Yeah, a conflict is still a conflict. They will do whatever it takes to win the conflict. In this case, a conflict occurs between a noble family and another noble family. However, I'm a little confused."
"Why are you confused?"
"You know, that maid is a maid, who has been working for quite a while, but why she hasn't done her mission yet? She could have put poison in the food that Androcles and Cecelia were about to eat, and she could have kidnapped me when I was careless. That was easy for her, right?"
"I didn't know that. It's just..."
"What?"
"It seems that both of our parents had something to be aware of. Maybe both of our parents had magic to detect poison, or if she did that, she would be caught quickly and killed, or whatever. That's why she never did that."
"I see. I see. So, having the wizard come here, will it help her mission??"
"It seems so. And coincidentally, since Androcles and Cecelia wanted a teacher for us-"
"Only for you, not for us. I don't want to be taught by him," He reproached, rejecting my words.
"Oh... Alright. So, since Androcles and Cecelia wanted a teacher for me, Jamila quickly recommended her friend to help her mission? What a coincidence."
"Yeah, this feels like a coincidence. After all, they will soon carry out their mission, kidnap me, and get a reward from that noble family. What has been delayed all this time, the mission given to the maid, which has been 10 years has passed without success, this time it will be successful thanks to helping for the wizard. All of this is a real coincidence. It just so happens that there is a conflict on the De Jansen family with that noble family. It just so happens that we live in this world."
"By the way," I said, realizing something. "If that mission had been given to her since 10 years ago, that would mean-"
"Ssshhh! You shut up!"
Arsenio reproached me again. He knows what I want to say. He didn't want to admit it. He told me to be quiet.
What I'm trying to say is, "If the mission was given to Jamila from 10 years ago, it means that the mission wasn't aimed at kidnapping Arsenio. In other words, the mission was clearly to kill them, Androcles and Cecelia!" but stopped by him.
Well, at least, he realized it. He didn't want his thinking, that he would be kidnapped, to be something that turned out to be wrong. After all, Jamila worked here before Arsenio and I were born. She has worked here since 10 years ago.
"We know that, but we can't necessarily beat those two," I said, truthfully at my current age and the system in this world.
"Relax, Ernesto. Are you my brother?"
"What do you mean by that, Arsenio?"
"This is very easy, so you should be aware of it. Humans are born with envy, jealousy, and hatred towards other people."
"Then?"
"We will make the wizard hate the maid. We will create conflict between them. That way, they will be divided and jealous of each other. We can take advantage of that afterward. We can find out what mission they came here for, who's behind all this, who ordered them, and who hates our family. We can prevent that from happening. We have time to find out."
"I see. You have a good mind, Arsenio. You deserve the post of Major."
"Wherever you and I are, there will always be conflict."
"And we can create a conflict."
"That's right."
Judging from our age, we can create a conflict for adults easily. Trust me, when you are 7 years old, you can make your parents separate easily.
How to? Do you ask that? Of course, it's very easy. You just need to tell your mother that your father walked into the hotel with another woman. In other words, you made a false claim that your father cheated on your mother for the sake of a prettier woman. Your mother will believe that because you still don't know anything. You're still innocent, still so holy to know that. That way, your mother, who wants you to have a good life, will choose not to be with your father anymore. They would separate, and worst of all, they might get a divorce.
That's a conflict you can create at 7 years old. I suggest not to do that so that your parents do not separate.
"I have a good conflict for them," I said.
"Well, that's good. I had planned to create a conflict between them, but in the end, I didn't come up with any ideas. So, what's your idea?"
"Ah. We'll make them..."
"Could you stop putting on that perverted face of yours? Could it be... you're planning some perverted thing?" Arsenio asked, looking straight at Ernesto who was smiling slyly.
"Hehehe..."
