<span style="font-weight:400">"Hmm?" Keith tilted his head.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Keith, you shouldn''t have done that," Orin grabbed his head.
<span style="font-weight:400">Mendel exined, "Young Master, by saying you would put your honor on the line, it''s a vow. If you don''t uphold it, you will be shamed for a lifetime," A nobleman''s honor meant everything.
<span style="font-weight:400">Not upholding it meant he would be shamed and humiliated.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Oh, that. I know about it," Keith learned it long ago from Sophia and William.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Then why did you say it?!" Michael retorted. It was essentially risking his life!
<span style="font-weight:400">"Because I know I can aplish it," Keith answered with the calmest expression. The three stared at Keith. His eyes were still and unwavering.
<span style="font-weight:400">There was no uncertainty in them.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Can you really do it?" Michael wasn''t sure now. It was an uncertain factor. He did things out of everyone''s expectations. But this might be over his head.
<span style="font-weight:400">"I never make promises I can''t keep," Keith dered.
<span style="font-weight:400">"..." The three had no words to say.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Now then, let''s go home and get yelled at," Keith smiled as he walked home. He already understood what was going to happen.
<span style="font-weight:400">However, what he didn''t know was his words spread throughout town! Keith had vowed his honor as a nobleman to fix the slums!
<span style="font-weight:400">It spread like a storm!
<span style="font-weight:400">...
<span style="font-weight:400">"Keith, why did you do that?'' William stared at his son as he questioned. This time, he had a frustrated look.
<span style="font-weight:400">"I did it because I have to," Keith answered.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Hmm?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"I saw people in our town suffering. And I want to change it," When Keith saw how the adults and children were suffering, he wasn''t going to stand still.
<span style="font-weight:400">"I love your intentions. But do you understand how difficult this is?" William understood his child''s intentions. But saying it and aplishing it were two different things!
<span style="font-weight:400">Fixing the slums? Of course, William wanted to do that. But he had been trying to do this all these years! Yet, he couldn''t eradicate it!
<span style="font-weight:400">"I can do it," Keith stated with confidence.
<span style="font-weight:400">William frowned, "Do you understand the repercussions if you can''t?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"I understand. But I don''t care about it. And father, you told me before, as nobles, it''s our duty to improve thend to the best of our abilities. The people in the slums are our people. We need to help them out," Keith remembered those words William told him before.
<span style="font-weight:400">It resonated with him.
<span style="font-weight:400">"..." William took a deep sigh, "Alright. I will do whatever I can to help you. But how are you going to aplish this?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"I have an idea," Keith answered.
<span style="font-weight:400">"...Alright. If you''re serious, I will hand you 10 mithril coins. That''s the amount you can use per month," William stated. That was how serious he was about this situation.
<span style="font-weight:400">"That''s more than enough! Thank you, Father!" Keith smiled.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Good luck," William smiled.
<span style="font-weight:400">...
<span style="font-weight:400">Keith entered the library to get to work on his new idea. While he was doing this, May had a worried look, "Is the young master going to be alright?!"
<span style="font-weight:400">May was worried when she heard all the rumors floating around. Some said that Keith was crazy for saying this. Others said they believed he could do it.
<span style="font-weight:400">Either way, they all thought Keith was a little dangerous for saying it. The slum was a difficult ce. It was there for years.
<span style="font-weight:400">It was something that couldn''t be changed like that!
<span style="font-weight:400">"Keith can do it!" Fira was riding on May''s shoulders and stated.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Keith was so cool as he said this to all those people!" Fira found him awesome.
<span style="font-weight:400">May had a wry expression. She couldn''t say anything about it as the little spirit wouldn''t understand. It didn''t take long for Keith to open the door.
<span style="font-weight:400">"May, can you go and call Michael. I need him for something,"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Understood!" May nodded. It seemed that Keith had an idea of what to do.
