<span style="font-weight:400">"Can we really trust his words?" One of the residents of the slums questioned. It was a week since Keith had made his deration. Everyone remembered his words.
<span style="font-weight:400">It was like a dream.
<span style="font-weight:400">"We have to hope," Hugo interjected. There was no point if they didn''t hope. It was something they couldn''t lose.
<span style="font-weight:400">They had lost hope before. They knew about the Marquis''s work on trying to solve the problem.
<span style="font-weight:400">He brought hope for them that the slums would be alright. But that never happened. He fixed some of the slum''s problems. But it wasn''t enough. There weren''t enough jobs for everyone to work.
<span style="font-weight:400">That was how the slums continued to exist.
<span style="font-weight:400">They had lost all hope. Their lives would continue to be like this till the end. But now, a new hope came. The Marquis''s son stated he would solve the problem!
<span style="font-weight:400">It was something unbelievable. Keith was only a child. But the look on his eyes caused him to shut up. His eyes were serious. It was unwavering.
<span style="font-weight:400">He was going to ce his hopes on him. As they were talking with one another,
<span style="font-weight:400">"Everyone! One of the knights of the Marquis hase! It seems he''s talking about jobs!" Someone roared out! Hugo''s eyes widened when he heard that.
<span style="font-weight:400">Jobs? Hugo and the others didn''t hesitate as they dashed towards where it was. There were a few knights sitting at a table,
<span style="font-weight:400">"As the fourth master stated, we are looking for people to hire! They will be cleaning the streets and the sewage. This willst for eight hours, and it will be every day! You will obtain three silver a day!"
<span style="font-weight:400">"..." Their eyes widened as they heard that! They didn''t even hesitate as they raised their hands!
<span style="font-weight:400">"We want to do it!"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Please! I want to work!"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Please line up here! The maximum number of people we are taking is 100 people! Also, we need everyone to line up and tell us what strengths and experiences you have!" The knights added.
<span style="font-weight:400">When that was said, people were split into two lines.
<span style="font-weight:400">The knights began to take notes on every one of their strengths and weaknesses. It took two hours for everything to finish. But it was enough,
<span style="font-weight:400">"The people who are enrolled in cleaning the sewers, please follow me to get the tools. The knights will teach you how to clean the sewage," The knights stated as they brought them over.
<span style="font-weight:400">Hearing this, the people were shocked but excited. The knights handed the people their uniforms. It was a white one-piece suit.
<span style="font-weight:400">They also handed something to cover their mouths,
<span style="font-weight:400">"Wear this so there isn''t any sewage stuck on your clothing," Like that, they entered the sewage.
<span style="font-weight:400">"We''ll teach you how to clean!" The knights started to show them how to do it. The workers were attentive as they stared at the knights.
<span style="font-weight:400">The young master wasn''t lying to us! They remembered Keith''s words. He said he would give them jobs, and he meant it!
<span style="font-weight:400">"Have you seen the workers in white?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Those people are from the slums. They have been cleaning the sewers and streets."
<span style="font-weight:400">"No wonder it''s so clean now!"
<span style="font-weight:400">"It feels easier to breathe!"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Young Master Keith wasn''t lying when he said he would give them jobs,"
<span style="font-weight:400">People kept talking about it like no tomorrow! That was because Keith''s actions were enormous! 100 people got jobs in a week! That was a chunk of people in the slums!
<span style="font-weight:400">The man himself who caused all of this was sitting in the library. He had a smile on his face.
<span style="font-weight:400">This is good.
<span style="font-weight:400">...
<span style="font-weight:400">A few days ago, Keith was in front of William. Keith had devised a way to create more jobs for the people. And he went to William to discuss about it.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Keith, what n do you have?" William questioned,
<span style="font-weight:400">"Father, the way to get jobs for the slums is through cleaning!"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Hmm? Cleaning?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Yes!" Keith nodded, "I realized the roads are dirty."
<span style="font-weight:400">As Keith walked, he noticed the roads were covered in dirt and garbage. It wasn''t cleaned most of the time.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Don''t you think it would be better to have the roads cleaned and tidy up? It will make the town smell better and look nicer than before!"
<span style="font-weight:400">"I see," William thought about it. It would make the town more pleasing to the eye for everyone. That will definitely help out.
<span style="font-weight:400">"We can also create jobs for the sewers," Keith added.
<span style="font-weight:400">"The sewers?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Mmhmm! Me, Mendel, Carter, and Michael went down-"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Wait! You four went down to the sewers?!" William red at everyone besides Keith, wanting an exnation!
<span style="font-weight:400">"Father, I was the one who asked them to go. I wanted to see firsthand if there were any problems with the sewers," Keith had a hunch. If the roads were like this, what about the sewers?
<span style="font-weight:400">"Was there a problem?"
<span style="font-weight:400">Mendel nodded, "Yes, there was a problem with it. It seemed that there was a blockage due to the build-up of waste. If we didn''t check it, there would have been a problem."
<span style="font-weight:400">Diseases would ur if they left it as is.
<span style="font-weight:400">"What?" William blinked his eyes when he heard that.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Yes, thank goodness we checked. If it kept building up for a few more years, a gue might have happened," Mendel sighed.
<span style="font-weight:400">"I see," William sighed in relief when he heard that.
<span style="font-weight:400">"That''s why I suggest having people go down there every day to keep the sewers clean," Keith stated. Their town should be clean enough for everyone to rx. Cleanliness is the way to keep everyone healthy.
