"Leonia Boleoti. That's your new name" Phileo instructed
The child was shocked a took a few seconds to respond
"It's too long" she said
"Leonia is your name, idiot" Phileo replied
"I'm not an idiot!!" Leonia shouted
Phileo picked Leonia up looking her up and down
"I should call an etiquette tutor when we get back to the dukedom" Phileo said
This caused Leonia do flail around and hit Phileo's arm
"My.. My lord!" Rupert yelled but he got ignored as Phileo got in the carriage sitting Leonia next to him
"This mister! Are you having fun, messing with a child!?" Leonia questioned rather loudly
"It's more fun than I thought." Phileo said poking Leonia's head
"This mister seems like a pervert!" Leonia yelled moving her head
"Wait a moment! What just happened...!" Rupert asked but the carriage door slammed in him

(Phileo explained his friend having children and making him wat to experience fatherhood)

"So that's why your adopting me?" Leonia asked shocked
"Yeah." Phileo answered resting his head on his palm
"I MEAN! PEOPLE USUALLY ADOPT BECAUSE THEY ARE UNABLE TO CONCEIVE A CHILD! OR BECAUSE THEY LIKE CHILDREN SO MUCH, OR BECAUSE THEY SAW THEM WHILE VOLUNTEERING! OR MAYBE THEY LOOK LIKE A DEAD CHILD OF THEIRS! BUT YOU'RE ADOPTING BECAUSE YOUR FRIEND TOLD YOU ABOUT HIS KID? REALLY?" Leonia yelled
"You look unsatisfied," Phileo said
Leonia sighed
"Mister are you stupid?" she asked
"My only child seems to have quite the vocabulary. Didn't you want this too? Isn't that why you blocked my path?" Phileo questioned
"...Yeah" Leonia answers looking to the side
'He finally let me escape from this gloomy old orphanage. It was something close to a gamble. I never thought I'd ever be this fortunate though.' Leonia thought
"You know, I have a request. The teachers at the orphanage, they're embezzling funds" Leonia explained
"I figured" Phileo answered
"They abused us. They've been talking to pimps and slave merchants now too." she continued
Phileo turned to her shocked
"Do you know what a pimp is.." he asked
"I know! They're people that sell others to brothels and stuff!" Leonia yelled
Phileo looked down at her shocked and kinda concerned
"Theyre planning to sell off one of the girls to the pimps!" Leonia said quietly her voice breaking "So can you punish them?"
"All of them?" Phileo asked
"Everyone except Miss. Connie, she took good care of us." Leonia corrected nodding
"..A woman with brown hair and a broken finger right?" Phileo asks thinking back on the visit
"Right howd you know about that?" Leonia questions
"She was the only one who took care of the children" he explained
"He always hits us when he's drunk." Leonia states
"The dean?" Phileo asks
"Yes" Leonia nods
"That bruise on your arm?" Phileo points out
"This is because of another teacher, the bruises on my back are from the dean, So punish him" she explains lifting her arm showing a red and purple bruise covering her entire elbow
Phileo's expression darkened
"How? Should I kill him?" He asks
"No. Torture him until he begs for a quick deah" Leonia answers
Phileo turns to look out the window
'Is she really only five?' he thinks
"Your grace"
"Rupert." Phileo says
"Yes?" he questions
"You stay here" Phileo orders
"Pardon?!" Rupert yells
"It was pretty dirty. You should do some cleaning for them. Clean it thoroughly, and leave dust behind" Phileo orders
"I understand" Rupert interaly cries
"MISTER! iF YOUR GOING TO CLEAN IT, TEAR THEIR ARMS AND LEGS OFF! HIT THEM IN THE BACK WITH A LEATHER BELT!! PUT THEIR NOSE ON A PLATTER! CUT OFF EVERYTHING UNTILL THEY CAN NEVER STAND AGAIN! EXCEPT FOR MISS CONNIE AND THE EVIDENCE IS BEHIND THE PHOTO FRAME IN A SAFE" Leonia yells
"Shes spirited" Phileo comments
Rupert stands there dead inside
They drive off leaving the knights and Rupert behind
"Are we sure she isn't some secret love child?" One of the female knights questions
"First, let's finish our work," Rupert says turning around and facing the knight's
A dark expression taking over his face
"Yes, sir!" the knights yell

"Young master, Armaros."
"What?"
"It has been reported that the master will be returning soon, please finish your work so you can turn it in"
"It's been finished why else do you think im here instead of my study"
".. Be prepared to make your report to the master"
"I don't report to that piece of shit, he doesn't give a fuck about me. I get pushed off onto Rupert"
"Please refrain from calling the master such filthy words or else I will have to report you"
"Go ahead, get me into trouble, get me punished I dare you"
"..Goodbye young master"
"I fucking hate this place"
