Clayton looked at him with a shocked expression. He couldn't believe what he heard from the future lord of the estate. "W-what-?" Clayton asked. 

Alton looked at him confused as he thought he explained it in a way everyone could understand. "What's wrong?" Alton asked.

Clayton was stilling looking Alton and then looked around the room noticing that no one else was there so he looked back. "your going to what?!" Clayton asked him.

"I don't get what's wrong with what I said. They deserve it. All my life the dutchess and those stuck up so called ladies have been beating me. Even thought they didn't know who I was at the time but the way they looked at me I don't think that would have mattered." Alton started to speak.

Not even Clayton could deny what he heard wasn't the truth. Everything he had heard was the absolute truth. They would have just treated him like a thin if the count already had a son a legitimate son. Alton looked back at the samples and then looked around the room. "I'll make sure they pay. And you don't have to worry I'll give the staff members an option to leave or stay I won't give them anything bad so they will be able to find other jobs if they wish to do so." Alton spoke up.

Clayton smiled as his future new master said that to him. "Young lord that's very kind of you to say." Clayton said to him.

"Ah. . . Speaking of jobs can you find someone that will be able to teach me swordsmanship?" Alton asked.

This left Clayton rather confused, "Swordsmanship? But your going to be the lord of this estate why would you need to learn that?" Clayton asked him.

"Well that's an easy question to answer. I am not going to let the soldiers of this family go off on their own. I'll be going to fight with them if needed. I'm a fast learner so if I train now up until the point I do need to enter battle I'll be okay." Alton spoke up.

Clayton was yet again shocked with what his young lord said to him. He was so use to the count telling him to send out the soldiers and making them fight on their own that he never would have dreamed that the new master would want to go into battle. Clayton smiled and nodded his head. "Yes sir if you want to train there is the Captain of the knights! He was high ranking noble from the east and he joined as a knight since his family are all knights. His name is Arthur Elis." Clayton spoke up.

"Yes he'll do. I need to go visit the knights at some point anyway. I do need to introduce myself to them. Let's go then." Alton said while getting up and walking off.

Clayton looked at him for a few seconds and then ran after him. Telling him which way to go to get to the knights quarters.

Once they arrived that's all they heard was someone shouting. "Come on keep up! You got 20 more laps to do!"

When they both walked over to the where the shouting was coming from they saw a guy with navy blue hair and orange eyes shouting, his skin was pale and he had a scar on the bridge on his nose going either side of his face.

The man noticed Alton and Clayton walking in his direction and he raised an eyebrow. "Clayton why did you bring a brat here? I'm in no mood to baby sit a new worker!" The man said.

This was when Clayton was going to speak up but before he could Alton stepped forward. "I am actually Alton Von-Lowther. I'll be the new heire to the estate." He explained.

That's when the man eyes widened in surprised and he kneeled down bowing his head. The rest of the knights done that same thing. Alton was looking at them all and Clayton was trying not to laugh at all their surprised faces.

"I'm so sorry my lord!"
