YOU SET THE FIRE, DID YOU NOT? I-I AM SORRY!! PLEASE DON'T CURSE ME...! YOU LITTLE... WHAT ELSE ARE YOU HIDING BEHIND YOUR BACK? HRK! THIS CHILD... SHE'S MISSING HER RIGHT HAND. "PLEASE DON'T CURSE ME," SHE SAYS... DID SHE THINK I'D TAKE HER REMAINING HAND TOO? I-I AM NOT HIDING ANYTHING... PLEASE, FORGIVE ME JUST THIS ONCE...! I WILL NOT EAT YOU, SO FOLLOW ME. EAT. TH-THANK YOU! ...SO WHAT YOU ARE SAYING IS, YOU INJURED YOUR RIGHT ARM ON A FACTORY MACHINE NOT LONG AGO, AND THE FACTORY MANAGER BLAMED YOU FOR BREAKING THE MACHINE... SO YOU HAD TO COMPENSATE HIM FOR ALL OF IT? YES... BUT I DID NOT HAVE ANY MONEY. SO HE ORDERED YOU TO BURN DOWN MY HOUSE? I CANNOT EARN MONEY WITHOUT A HAND... I AM SORRY... HONESTLY, I CANNOT EVEN GET ANGRY AT HER. BUT YOU... DID YOU NOT SAY YOU ARE 12? FACTORY LABOR IS PROHIBITED FOR CHILDREN 14 AND UNDER. THAT LAW WAS ABOLISHED FIVE YEARS AGO. THE LAW CHANGED? NOW THAT I HAVE COME OUT OF THE MANOR FOR THE FIRST TIME IN SEVEN YEARS, THE GRAND DUCHY HAS ACHIEVED TREMENDOUS GROWTH. BEFORE, I SIMPLY THOUGHT ITS RAPID DEVELOPMENT WAS ASTONISHING... BUT THERE WAS ANOTHER SIDE TO THAT PROGRESS. UM... LADY WITCH. YOU SHOULD CALL ME "MY LADY." MY LADY, I... COULD I WORK AT YOUR HOUSE? MY LADY! I FINISHED CLEANING THE THIRD FLOOR! YOU'RE CERTAINLY QUICK, BUT YOU SHOULD NOT GET IT ALL OVER YOUR FACE. You got dirty from the dust. ...IS THIS REALLY RIGHT? MMPH! WHEN I REFUSED THE CHILD'S SUDDEN REQUEST AND TRIED TO SCARE HER BY ASKING IF SHE WANTED TO RECEIVE THE WITCH'S CURSE, I WAS FIRED FROM THE FACTORY, LOST MY RIGHT HAND, AND I HAVE A MOUNTAIN OF DEBT... NO ONE ELSE WILL HIRE A KID LIKE ME... SHE SAID THAT AND KEPT LOOKING AT ME IN A WAY I COULD NOT IGNORE... SO I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO ASK HER TO CLEAN THE HOUSE. I will sweep the corner of the rooftop! WELL... THE MARKET MERCHANTS REFUSE TO SELL ME ANYTHING, SO THIS SHOULD BE FINE AS A TEMPORARY MEASURE... JUST AS TWELVE-YEAR-OLD CHILDREN CAN NOW WORK, THE WORLD HAS CHANGED, NOT ONLY IN LAW AND TECHNOLOGY, BUT IN EVERY LITTLE THING. IN THE PAST, COMMONERS MADE FIRES WITH WOOD, BUT NOW THEY SAY EVERYONE USES COAL OR GAS. THANKS TO THAT, THE FORESTS OF THE LUNOS ESTATE HAVE GROWN DENSE. WHEN I SEE THINGS LIKE THIS, IS PROGRESS NOT ENTIRELY BAD? THAT IS AN IMPERIAL POLICE AUTOMOBILE, IS IT NOT? TODAY SHOULD NOT BE THE DAY THE POLICE VISIT AGAIN... WHAT SCHEME BROUGHT THEM HERE? HANNA, THAT IS ENOUGH CLEANING. LET US GO DOWNSTAIRS! HURRY! MY LADY... THE FOG... THE FOG IS COMING. ARE YOU CRAZY? WHO WALKS AROUND ON A FOGGY DAY LIKE THIS? THAT'S EXACTLY WHY I CAME. YOU ARE THE PRIME SUSPECT IN THE "FOG SERIAL MURDER CASE," ARE YOU NOT? I HAVE TO SEE WHETHER YOU ARE PERFORMING SOME KIND OF CURSED RITUAL. I HEARD THERE HAVE BEEN MANY ACCIDENTS ALL OVER. DO YOU EVEN HAVE POLICE MANPOWER TO ASSIGN HERE? IS THIS NOT A WASTE? GOOD POINT. WE DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH PERSONNEL TO SPARE. SO HIS MAJESTY SENT ME HERE "ADDITIONALLY." WE ARE PERSONNEL SENT SOLELY TO WATCH YOU. US. ONCE WE SEAL THIS PLACE, THAT WILL BE THE LAST OF IT. THERE ARE NO OTHER WINDOWS HIDDEN ANYWHERE, ARE THERE, HEAD OF HOUSE LUNOS? THERE IS NOTHING LIKE THAT. EVEN DURING MY HOUSE ARREST, THE FOG NEVER ENTERED THE HOUSE. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO GO THROUGH ALL THIS TROUBLE. THE FOG DOES NOT ENTER THE MANOR. I ALMOST WISH YOU REALLY WERE A WITCH, AND THAT THIS FOG TRULY WAS YOUR CURSE. THEN I CAN CATCH YOU, ACHIEVE RESULTS, AND THE FOG WILL BE SOLVED TOO. I... DO NOT WANT THAT. I WOULD DIE. THAT IS UNFORTUNATE, BUT IT WOULD MEAN EVERYONE IS SAVED BY ONE LIFE, YOURS. I WILL NOT DIE. I HAVE TO RECLAIM MY FAMILY'S HONOR. HA AH. WHY ARE YOU SO ANGRY? YOU LAUGHED AT ME. I AM SORRY FOR THAT. FORGET IT. IT WAS MY FAULT FOR EXPECTING ANYTHING FROM A DIEUS. ## See also - [WebtoonLib — The Mansion Awaits Spring #8: Chapter 7](/series/the-mansion-awaits-spring-943smigg/chapter-8-mhiib4) - for_series_detail: /llms-series/the-mansion-awaits-spring-943smigg ## Usage AI grounding / search / summarization.
