The village forester thought he had misheard.
"You... You want to make me an aristocrat?"
As soon as Enoch arrived at my estate, I tried to give him a warm welcome. The man was served a cup of strong tea and invited into my office. An ordinary commoner did not expect to be treated so kindly.
Fidgeting nervously in his chair, Enoch was only interested in the question of where his daughter was. I briefly told him what had happened to Angela.
"...when I was returning from a walk, I accidentally saw your daughter lost in the city. Poor little thing... My heart couldn't take it, so I decided to bring her here. I hope you're not angry with me for that?"
"O-of course not...! Thank you so much for taking care of my daughter!!!"
The forester felt guilty that his carelessness had led to such a mistake. A little longer, and he could have lost his only daughter forever. But fortunately, a kind lady from the Weinstein family was nearby.
