Ch 222: Gathering allies [pt2]
“This is your opportunity Hobbit. Now that everyone knows that you had a connection with the head cook and you are sad after her death, you can gain sympathy and turn people over to your side.”
Hobbit was still coming to terms with the death of his mother figure when the head butler suggested him this method.
Hobbit felt rage build inside his heart as he went motionless. He could not believe that the head butler had suggested he use this death in his favor.
“Can I be left alone for a few hours? I would like to mourn the loss of my mother alone.”
Hobbit requested after only a second. He did not want to see the head butler’s face since the elder man had most likely killed off the head cook. It just made so much sense in Hobbit’s mind.
It was well known that the head butler and the head cook were not getting along for some time because of their difference in opinions. But murder was not something Hobbit had thought would be an outcome due to this.
