�What now?�

No, that didn�t matter because it would mean working for a 2nd-class noble family.

�The family is relocating the Great Library. It�s not work just anyone can do. There are about 10,000 books that cannot be leaked. The porters will do the heavy work, but the classification work will only be done by you and me. It�ll take about two years.�

�Library!�

Shirone�s heart almost burst.

His excellent insight had a gut feeling that something ominous lay behind the suggestion, but he felt like he could take on any poison.

Temuran told Shirone the kind of poison he had to drink.

Which was his pride to not use cheap tricks against a commoner.

�You and your family are the only ones who know of this. If for any reason a book is leaked, or if rumors spread, you and your family are dead.�

Shirone then understood why the expressions of his parents were dark.

Even if he promised not to reveal anything, no one knew what could happen in those 2 years. It was like entrusting your life to someone else.

And yet, the reason why Shirone couldn�t turn down the offer was probably because�

�We�ll compensate you with enough money to live a good life. You will earn a lot more compared to your father. Hah, thanks to having a good child, it looks like the family is going to make a living.�

Vincent spoke with a red face.

�I didn�t hear your proposal because of the money! I just wish that Shirone� That he�!�

Tears welled up.

A rare opportunity brought by a loving father who wanted only to help his son achieve his dreams� And yet said opportunity could end up killing his son.

��My only wish is for my son to achieve his dreams.�

Temuran snorted.

�What are you thinking? Aren�t you getting ahead of yourself? Wake up. I�m only hiring. You were the one who asked me to use your son. There�s no reason for such a request unless it�s for money.�

�You said he can read books!�

�Of course he can read books if he�d like. But I�m not asking for him to read it, I�m saying that it�s impossible to perfectly keep an eye on him. That�s why I�m saying you�re dead if anything is leaked. It�s a minimal safeguard.�

Vincent clenched his teeth.

He heard, when he went to sell goods, that the deputy butler of a noble family was looking for a commoner who could read.

He thought it was an opportunity from heaven, so he ran to Temuran and begged him to use Shirone.

But he didn�t expect him to say that.

Imagining his son getting hurt� Was the thing that frightened him the most. What if he thinks that his dad sold his child away because he was blinded by money?

�Please leave. We don�t need any money. If I knew this was gonna happen, I wouldn�t have begged. So please, leave.�

�Dad, I�ll do it.�
