Edgar kept trying to comfort Evelyn. As the girl cried, he held her in his arms. "I will look after her. Don't worry. Your sister will not be homeless, nor will she ever want anything she needs. Now, please, Evelyn... Your father may get upset. Please, try to calm down."<br/><br/>At the manor, Samuel still paced back and forth. He looked at Jocelyn every time he walked by her, but his mind seemed to be working on important matters. With a sigh, he finally sat on another chair in front of Jocelyn, after he had wrapped the blanket around the young woman to keep her warm. As he sat down, Samuel pinched the bridge of his nose with his left hand. For someone with a good eye and enough attention, it was noticeable that a strip of his skin on his ring finger was fairer than the rest, as though he had worn a ring there for a while.<br/><br/>Looking at Hunter, the man nodded and petted the animal. "He can stay.", he agreed, his voice now softer. "I would never offer you a place in my household and not offer him the same." Relaxing back on his chair, he started talking in a serious voice.<br/><br/>"I do not want you to worry about anything, Miss. From now on, you are under my protection, and anyone who wishes to harm you, shall pass through me first. I want you to keep your apprentice job as well. I see it is your calling, and I would never stand in your way. As for your work here, perhaps you would be kind enough to learn Margareth's duties, since she will be away from them right before and for a while after her baby is born? It is not hard work. Just keeping the house tidy and taking care of the pantry, meal planning, and other tasks of the sort. I believe you will learn fast."
