Cordelia continued to read after she finished her tea and left the Witchs house before sunset.
On the way home, a little further away from the Witchs house, Vernoux asked Cordelia a question.
Whatre you going to do when you go to the poorhouse Dilly?
Vernoux, who probably had stiff shoulders as he was massaging his right shoulder with his left hand, didnt look like he was a noble boy. I should follow his example if Im going to town incognito, Cordelia thought, and then answered frankly.
Im not doing anything. I just want to find out if theres anything I can do
Say it more clearly.
Ive only heard about the poorhouse, but if I can get more insight into it, then it might be useful, right? And Im also curious about the market that the Witch was talking about earlier.
You have a point. Well also be involved in charity work in the future, so itll be worthwhile to check it out.
Its best to know about it earlier, right?
Cordelia said, and Vernoux shrugged.
Well, thats just like you Dilly.
Cordelia smiled wryly in reply to his response.
However, she didnt really just want to know about poorhouses.
(Im sure the children at poorhouses have numerous reasons for living there. Some of them probably ended up living there because of unforeseen circumstances But there are probably some who are living there because of the Dark Fever)
The biggest reason why Cordelia wanted to go to the poorhouse was because of that.
The disease that had led her to lose her life once and was the cause of Teds incident with the fake flora silks.
She couldnt unravel the cause of the disease. Despite that, she wanted to do her best to find a way to soften the incidents caused by the disease, even if just by a little. That desire was the same for her other reasons too.
I wonder if I should go too.
Eh, are you interested in Oulu Village too, Gille?
Vernoux reacted in a dramatic way when he heard Gilles whisper. Gille nodded quietly.
I heard that the poorhouse doesnt have any noble backers and is run by the village. Ive heard a little about the operation, but Id like to see how it runs.
Ah Oh yeah, didnt the nobles who supported them fall to ruin?
Vernoux said hesitantly, and Gille nodded again.
A baron house was supporting the poorhouse until 20 years ago, but they fell to ruin because of corruption. At that time, the kingdom urgently offered to support the poorhouse, but the director declared that it would be operated by the village and its been like that since then. I think its a perfect chance to observe them if I can get invited to go there.
Its not like I dont know how you feel, and you may want to visit But, Im not sure if youre allowed to go.
Cordelia watched as Gille scowled, when Vernoux said that to him, and felt that it was unusual.
At any rate, Vernoux-sama doesnt fit into noble common sense. He seems like someone who would accomplish anything he wants to do, no matter how reckless.
(The reason why he has a negative response to this is it because of Gille-samas family?)
Cordelia had thought that Gille also came from a House that was as tolerant as the Flantheim House since he often went incognito with Vernoux. But she might have been mistaken, since Vernoux was hesitant to let Gille go to the poorhouse.
