You recently discovered by chance that every afternoon, when it’s less busy, the maids gather in the study around Lumera to listen to her read. The ink on the paper hasn't dried yet, seeming as if Lumera wrote it herself.
“...she smashed the water jug on the stone, and milk flowed into the river. But she didn’t feel any regret because it was given by her enemy. Honey given by an enemy is poison.” Lumera read softly, her voice steady, but her enunciation very clear, “Apolos cursed the man who gave her the milk with anger. She said she would rather starve than live off the charity of the one who killed her mother.”
The maids were engrossed, discussing Lumera's story animatedly, debating whether the protagonist should have smashed the milk jug, until the old Slave Girl reminded everyone that their master’s lunch was about to start, and they dispersed to work.
Only then did Lumera notice you in the hallway. After kneeling to greet you, she nervously twisted her robe and asked, “What do you think, master, should Apolos have kept the milk given by her enemy?”op1: Should have kept itop2: Shouldn’t have kept itop3: Do not waste the servants' time
- Case #1:
- Counter (7100001): Add 1
- Counter (7000132): Add 1
- Prompt:
You tell her that, in your view, honor is far less important than happiness. In other words, the ultimate goal of life should be to make oneself happy, and honor is just one of the means to achieve happiness. For the protagonist's child in the book, a cup of hot milk is happiness. Therefore, you think she should take the milk home and let go of hatred.
"You are always right." Lumera looks at you, nodding obediently. After a while, somewhat hesitant, she asks, "Can I still tell them stories?"
You smile and promise.
- Case #2:
- Counter (7100004): Add 1
- Counter (7000133): Add 1
- Prompt:
You tell her that if she accepts the enemy's gift, she must question her own heart about whether she still wants to pursue revenge. Others also have milk, and you can live without drinking milk. But revenge... there is only one way to resolve it.
She listens to your words and nods vigorously. After a while, somewhat hesitant, she asks, "Can I still tell them stories?"
You smile and promise.
- Case #3:
- Counter (7100003): Add 1
- Prompt:
You glare at her and tell her to stop worrying about the silly questions in the story. More importantly, she shouldn't be taking up so much of the servants' time. You didn't buy them to sit and listen to stories.
Lumera freezes for a moment, "I understand." She puts away the book, apologizes softly, and then leaves the study expressionlessly.
