Chapter 312 Safety Measures
Brian mused over the offer and immediately asked about the safety measures that would be put in place for the girls while they were on and around the property. He wanted to know what would be permitted if the girls accompanied the young lady into the city, as well as what preparations would be necessary if they were to leave the safety of the estate. He inquired about how people would treat the girls if they were alone and or with Tersa.
Brian presented strong arguments and questioned the extent of their responsibility, specifically whether they would take responsibility if one of the girls were to injure herself through no fault of their own. Additionally, he sought clarification on how they would handle situations where other nobles might be involved, either by chance or circumstance.
Jeremy was surprised by how meticulous the man was in his details and appreciated his discerning nature. With his impression elevated, Jeremy said delightfully, "We will be able to handle your issues handily, and the maids and other staff will attend to their needs. However, they must be able to manage on their own, as not all of the staff will be pleased with the relationship they will have with my daughter. But don't worry; they will be dealt with accordingly, as our head maid has trained them well and, if necessary, will punish them accordingly." Jeremy then shifted his gaze toward the maid overseeing his daughter, who was grooming the cat that had safely returned.
Jeremy continued, "Regarding their safety, I can't promise that our guards will defend them in an emergency, as their standing orders are to protect Lady Tersa. However, they will not antagonize anyone without justifiable reason." He paused, contemplating the situation. "If the two were to interact with nobility, I suppose they could choose not to speak and simply bow in their presence. If approached, they should show the utmost respect. That's the best I can come up with on the spot," Jeremy concluded.
Brian contemplated the lord's proposal carefully and replied, "If we have the rules in writing, I can pass them on to our director. They can review the proposal, suggest changes, and add any details I might have overlooked. They will confirm or deny the proposal. In my opinion, these are good initial measures, so if you two can communicate and negotiate from there, there should be no issues with us making this deal."
