"Private servant only? Of course you can, whatever you want. However, take some classes I prepared." Said Gordon.
"A. I want to." Query smiled happily.
"This also applies to your mistress Russell, as the foster mother of the young master. You will also get further education. For a time my Russell family business and the lawyer will be holding it. Waiting for you as his guardian has had readiness and the young master is old enough." A brief explanation from the butler.
"But the DNA test hasn't come out yet." Cresia hesitated.
"Less likely not. My subordinate has gone to the orphanage. The result is Query's baby clothes first, has an RL symbol in the corner. So it's unlikely that the DNA test results aren't appropriate." Sentence after sentence that made the pair of mother and child look at each other nervously.

Cannot go home or do activities freely. They can't tell someone.
The child who stared at the closed fruit stall. He nodded, no news or anything at all.
Running at high speed like a ninja, he headed for the flats. But the result was the same, no one answered when he knocked on the door.
Until a neighbor passes by."You're Query's friend, right? Yesterday Query and his mother moved in a hurry."
"Pi... moving?" Rachel sat down on the floor and her tears flowed.
"Routing just one talented person to help Edward deal with Alfred Russell can be this difficult!" His cry was annoyed half to death.
He remembers Alfred Russell's description in the original novel. Black-haired, white-skinned, with a mysterious smile that conquers any woman. The only person to sit on the throne of the Russell family. A young genius that only Alira can conquer. Edward's greatest enemy in the original work.

Rachel finally decided to go home. Eating the side dish he left for Query alone. The annoyance is still there, even though Query has been considered a good friend by him. But just leave, without notice?
"Why? Upset because your friend moved out?" asked Edward who was sitting next to her while reading a book. Rachel did not reply, only looking down silently.
"Therefore, never betray me. You are enough to stay and only pay attention to me. Then-" Edward's sentence stopped, when he realized Rachel was bowed while crying.
"Why are you crying?" continued.
"I'm friends with Query because I want to make Query the one who's on your side. He is smart, can memorize the contents of the book in detail once read. All because I wanted Edward to have a friend who was smart and trustworthy." Sentence by sentence with a vibrating tone of voice.
Edward was silent for a moment, everything for him? Rachel became friends with Query so she could also be friends with Query? Want Query to side with him? A ridiculous thought.
Edward put down the book he read. Then hugged Rachel."For my own future, I don't need anyone else. I just need you. There won't be any other girlfriends or male friends among us. Forever we will stay old in the Snowden residence, until we become really old and die together."
"But your soul mate Alira is stupid! Perfect beauty all the time! Good-natured innocent woman! You instead chose to be an old virgin your whole life!? Then what about my imagination about the three children you would have if you married Alira!" It felt like Rachel was screaming, but her mouth was still closed.
"Rachel, my beloved servant." A warm word from Edward let go of his embrace. Then kiss Rachel.

Although Rachel who tried to get close to another child ended up being put aside. Maybe only with Edward can he make friends at a new school. Sometimes Rachel also visits the stall and the hamlet hoping to meet Query once. Just to say goodbye as a friend.
Today Flint just got home from a business trip. Quality time for family? Of course it does. Installing a train assembly in the living room with Rachel and Edward.
"Edward, help your brother! He can't yet!" Flint said intentionally.
"Rachel's not my sister!" Furious Edward.
Everything was going as usual. However, the roar of the car engine sounds. Stop in the parking area.
The Snowden family's Butler, a young man in his 30s. Walk closer, down."Sir, Gordon, Russell's butler wants to see you."
"Let him in." The orders from Flint, his face smiling.
Flint began to sit down, accompanied by two mice who were still trying to assemble the train, which they just got as souvenirs.
In the end that person came as well, a loyal subordinate of the Russell family. Men with gray hair who always look neat. Unexpectedly, Russell's family ran out just like that, a disconnected descendant. In 10 years the Russell family fortune will be handed over to the state, if no heirs emerge. But why did this guy suddenly come here?
Gordon's bowing in respect."Sorry for coming unannounced, Mr. Flint..."
"It's okay, the Russells don't know manners, do they? Sit down..." Spicy words from Flint Snowden.
That's why Gordon is the laziest to deal with the Snowden family. This white fox sucks half to death. Though the position of their families can be said to be equivalent at this time.
"So what makes the venerable Russell family butler come to my cramped home." Flint asked shortly after Gordon sat down and the waiter served and pastries.
"It's really cold snow." Sarcas Gordon, drinking tea in front of him.
"Just in person, is this about the auction fight a week ago?" tanyanya sat full of hubris.
"No, it's about my young master, the only surviving descendant of the Russell family, Alfred Russel." Smile words from Gordon.
Rachel who initially only concentrated on assembling a toy train with Edward was now distracted. Alfred Russell's? It is impossible to find it now. It should be about a year away, why can the storyline go faster than it should?
"Russell family members are indeed fast in reproducing huh? I thought it was over, was there one left? So what do you want? Want me to play soft in business on a kid?" Question from the cunning white fox.
"No.but this..." Gordon gave me a map.
Flint immediately grabbed it, the tantalizing content of data weakness of other rival companies abroad. Completely complete data. This data is not profitable at all for the Russell family, but it will have a big impact on the Snowden family company.
"What's your wish?" flint was interested.
"Having a living employer is a fortune to me. Because that's whatever it wants I'll grant. That's why Alfred Russell, wants your son's personal servant. If it's not Rachel's name, is it?" Sentence after sentence full of smiles and confidence. An unlikely offer was rejected by Flint just to retain a servant.
"Why was my name brought up! Alfred Russell is the protagonist! The goddamn protagonist that the antagonist has to take down!" Rachel's mind doesn't know what's going on.
