Brooks started with a question, "Should we really leave like this? You know, after what we did with the gangs."
Lady Vena waved his worries away. "I'm sure he will be fine."
Brooks wasn't so sure of that. He said, "But we created a lot of trouble for him. I'm afraid that..."
She interrupted him, "After seeing him hold up against Jake, I have decided to have faith in him."
Then she asked him, "Don't you have faith in him?"
Brooks had no choice but to nod and say, "I have faith in him. But I think the least we can do is inform him of the trouble we created for him."
She shook her head. "No. He can't find out what we did or he will think I am meddling in his business again. Besides, after hearing about the fight, the gangs will leave him alone."
"It is not as if they dare to kill him in the first place. But now that they know that he is not an easy nut to crack, they will just avoid him."
Brooks sighed and nodded.@@@@
That was the end of the matter because he could tell that Lady Vena had made up her mind. So he changed the subject.
"I think Jake will be able to enter a sect. The Dyson family will gain at least one new sect member after the exam that will start next year."
Lady Vena took the bait and scoffed. "Jake is not so great. He is just normal. Now my boy Arthur is great. He will achieve great things. Just wait and see."
At the very least, their help will be better than what Arthur received from the Dyson family as a bastard. But he also agrees that they might drag Arthur down with their troubles.
Besides, he doesn't have a choice in the matter. So he kept his mouth shut.
It just so happened that they passed by the field where spirit deer is raised. Lady Vena saw the herd of deer and smiled.
She remembered what Arthur did on his last night at home. She also remember the first time Arthur encountered the deer.
She said to Brooks, "Do you remember that day that Arthur came home with a scared look on his face and his hair clumped up?"
Brooks smiled too. "I remember. Geltra became hysterical."
Lady Vena laughed. "She was screeching and out for blood. I had to kill that deer to shut her up."
Brooks said solemnly, "That was an unpleasant encounter for the young master, but he didn't cry. He even still woke up early in the morning and went on the same route to give out bread. That's how I knew that his bread-giving was not going to be a phase. He was too determined for a three-year-old boy. I immediately gave up resistance and sighed his bread truce."
Lady Vena sighed and said, "Just come out and say it. You don't like that I created trouble for him with the gangs."
Brooks smiled and shook his head. "I never said that. I don't like it, but I never said it. I think you're overthinking things because you're feeling guilty."
She huffed. "Me? Feeling guilty? You must be mistaken. I am doing this for his good. I have nothing to gain from this."
Brooks nodded and said sarcastically, "Right. You have nothing to gain from this. You don't want him to come home and train with you. You also don't miss him. You're just doing all of these because you're a saint."
Lady Vena insisted. "I am a saint. Now let's talk about coming back here tonight to avenge Arthur. Those deers need to pay for their sins many over."
