"Is it for me, my lady?" He asked surprised.
Can someone who cries like this be a pawn of my father? What if it's acting? What if he is a great actor? He might be someone who will add poison to the food my mother consumes in the future. If I can't take a correct guess, I can just--
"Please don't cry. I always loved your word. Thank you for working hard, and I hope you continue producing great food and taste to my mouth" I smiled brightly.
"Madam!!!" He started crying more loudly than before.
"Someone take him out of the room" Uncle Wan spoke and two people who looked strong in their muscles raised him big bear body as if he doesn't weigh anything and carried him outside. Damn! Who the hell are they? And they both look kind of the same!
Twins?
If Chef Ronnon is not yet a person who is working for my father and can become one in the future, then I can take this opportunity to turn him to my side and also know what's happening in the kitchen. Still, he doesn't look like someone who can do something as dangerous as poisoning someone. But I can't trust my father, who can use any weakness of anyone to give his son whatever he wants. First, I need to know if Chef Ronnon is on my father's side or not, or if they knew each other or met each other at least once in their lives. Even when we were working out on the streets for the common people. For that, I need to have full information about Ronnan. Not only Ronnon, maybe I should gather every little thing about the people working in this family. I can't possibly ask Uncle Won for information about these people. Although he will bring me the information without any question, he will also inform my mother about this which won't be so good because I just entered this mansion as her daughter who is previously the daughter of Viscount Jasan.
The twins came back in 5 minutes and stood in the same place as before.
"What work do you do?" I asked, looking at them.
"We work as gardeners, my lady. It was an honor for us to have such a beautiful lady talk to us" he said with a small smirk.
Woah! I am a 10-year-old boy!
And gardeners?
Do people these days gain that much muscle just by doing gardening work? They look like knights but--
I looked at them both and they both smiled at me at the same time. They are kind of weird. I am not liking them.
"Names."
"Kogan"
"Logan"
Wow, their names are weird too.

"Thank you, everyone, for giving up your precious time to meet me and I and very grateful for all your contributions to this house till now and I hope you all continue to work the same in the future for the Ebdout family. I am looking forward to it" I said with a smile, and they left the room.
*Sigh*
That was tough!
"Would you like me to bring you some tea, my lady?" Ruby asked.
I looked at her and gave her a small smile.
"Thank you, Ruby"
She left the room soon, leaving alone me and Uncle Won.
"Uncle, Can I go outside tomorrow?" I asked him, trying to keep my eyes as innocent as possible.
"May I ask the reason why, madam? I can get everything you want he--"
"This is a secret, so please don't tell mother, okay, Uncle won?"
"Madam?"
"I want to buy a present for my mother. So, please let's go outside tomorrow and don't tell mother about it for now. I want to surprise her"
"I sure will keep my lips closed Lady Anemone," He said as he bowed, but I know he will definitely tell this to mother.
It's fine. Now, my mother will be so happy that she won't object to me going out, and I can see him if I can go to the market.
If I can't ask Uncle Won for information about the people working in this house. I have only one option.
The friend of my previous life who I have yet to meet. Whose secrets are only known by me.
Ziki!
At this time he must be present on the streets robbing someone, but soon he will become the great grand master of the information guild. He will dig the secret of people that even they don't know.
He must be 12 of age right now. He will start his guild by 13. If I can befriend him before that. He will be a very useful pawn for me in the future. He will hold every information of everyone I need.
Ziki... Just wait for me.

"I heard you spoke to the servants today" Mother spoke taking a sip in her bowl of soup present in front of her on the dining table.
"Yes, mother," I said with a smile, keeping my spoon down.
"That's great. Did anyone misbehave or spoke something that they shouldn't have? If so, you can tell me I can cut their--"
"Everyone is a very friendly mother. I wish I can talk to them again. They are workers of this family. They know more things about this house than me. Then disturbing Uncle Wan or you all the time. I hope I can befriend them and learn things by myself"
"Nonsense. I would be glad if you can come to me for everything you need"
"Thank you for saying that mother, but I am sure Uncle wan will help me too"
"Uncle Wan?"
"Yes," I said with a bright smile.
"I wonder when the butler wan became so close to my daughter that she is calling him UNCLE wan...can you explain butler?" She spoke to Uncle wan with a smile.
"That is ...my lady.."
"I wonder why you are so free these days. Come to my study room later. I have a special work for you"
"Lady Cicelia!!"
They do get along well.
