The next day Minerva woke up and got ready for the day. After she was dressed she left to wake the two brothers.
When she got to their room she saw that they were already awake and were both sitting up on their shared bed. Minerva blinked, she honestly thought that it was kind of cute then she spoke.
"Good morning, young masters."
She went to them and Rhyshilo runs behind Revencro then Minerva begins to button up Rhyshilo's shirt then she buttons Revencro's shirt. Minerva had a slight frown as she buttoned Revencro's shirt. She noticed a couple scars and bruises. They looked kind of new but she didn't say anything as she buttoned his shirt up. After doing so Minerva smiles at them.
"Come on, let's go to breakfast."
All three of them went to the dining room and the boy's father was there.
As the family ate Minerva came to the master with a bottle of wine and in her other hand was juice for the boys.
The master looked at his sons then spoke.
"Wow, you have your shirt buttoned all the way for once."
Minerva glanced at her master then looked at Revencro only to see that he was looking at his food. His brother looked at him then after the boys were done eating they quickly left out of there. Minerva was confused but then she looked at her master who didn't seem to be bothered by it then he spoke.
"Minerva, Jean-Claude and I will be gone for a few days so you will be watching the boys."
"Yes Master."
He then handed her an envelope then spoke.
"Here's the money for the shopping and please, when you go, don't take the boys with you. They don't do well around crowds."
Minerva nodded then left.
Later on that day the master and his butler left. Minerva went to the kitchen and had a slight frown on her face as she looked around. When she had first arrived there wasn't much food in the kitchen so she had used the last of the food.
"Maybe I should get more food for the next few days."
Minerva took out the envelope then she began to read the list.
On the list of items were cigars, smoke pipes and wine. Minerva raised a brow.
"Is food not needed to him?"
Minerva then turned the paper over and saw a list of things.
Do's
You may cook
You may go outside
You may cut more firewood
You may shop for food
You may take the boys to school
Don'ts
Don't let the boys be late for anything
Don't let them play until they're finished with their homework
Don't feed them if they get in trouble with you, Jean-Claude, at school and myself
Minerva just stared but she looked away.
"That explains why the young master left the other night."
She frowned a little.
"But where did those scars and bruises come from?"
She got out some of the money and put it away for the greedy master while she put another portion of the money into a safe so that in case if she had to shop again then that would be the best choice.
Minerva went to look for the boys and found them in their play room. The younger brother saw her and quickly ran to his brother to hide. Minerva wondered why the younger brother was scared of her but she figured that she was still new to him. Minerva went into the room and spoke.
"I'm going to the store, do either of you want something?"
"…."
"Anything at all?"
"…."
"What do you want for dinner?"
"…."
Minerva just looked at them then she got an idea and left out of the room. She returned a few moments later.
"This is a game room, after all. This will help decide what to have for lunch and dinner."
The two brothers blinked then they looked at the paper that Minerva had showed them. It was a ladder that had been drawn with four meals at the bottom.
"Alright Master Rhyshilo, point anywhere on the ladder."
The 6 year old just stared but he pointed but he didn't notice that Minerva had put her hand ontop of his. The moment he felt her hand he flinched drawing his hand back. Minerva blinked but went up the ladder and smiled.
"Grill cheese sandwiches for lunch. Alright Master Revencro, your turn to choose a meal for dinner tonight."
Revencro pointed but held his little brother to him while Minerva had went down on the ladder.
"Oh chicken alfredo, you both have chosen awesome meals today."
Minerva stood up and turned to leave.
"I will be right back."
With that Minerva left the mansion and went food shopping. As she was out she loved the view of the city that she was in but she wondered where the school was that the boys went to. When she was done shopping she went back to the mansion and began to make lunch.
After making lunch Minerva wondered where the two brothers were so she carried the plate of grilled cheese sandwiches.
"Young Masters? Where are you? You don't have to talk, a simple knock will help."
A tap was heard after that then Minerva went into the room.
"Well I guess I'm making progress with you, that's great."
Minerva saw them sitting on the floor then she handed them the tray to them. They both stared in confusion then Minerva smiled.
"They're just sandwiches."
Both brothers looked at her then Revencro got a sandwich and took a bite. He then looked at his brother and handed him a sandwich as well. Rhyshilo took a bite and to Minerva he had cutest blush but Minerva had to beat her inner self with a metal pipe to keep herself from hugging the little boy. She hadn't forgotten how he flinched when her hand touched his.
Minerva then stood and turned to leave. She looked behind her at the two brothers as they seemed to be enjoying their meal then Minerva left to get to know the mansion better.
When supper time came she had the food on the table then went to look for the two brothers only to find them in their room.
Minerva raised a brow as she looked at them.
"Aren't you two coming down for dinner?"
They both looked at her then climbed out of their beds and followed Minerva to the dining room. Both boys were eating and Minerva noticed that they were eating a lot but she wondered what the deal was about that but she didn't say anything.
When they were done with dinner Minerva went into the kitchen and began to make their lunches since they had school the next day. She had spotted their school and was impressed.
After making their lunches and put them into the fridge Minerva went to their room to help them get ready for bed.
She helped Rhyshilo into his night clothes and picked him up, putting him into the bed. She then turned to see Revencro trying to take his shirt off. Minerva went to him and began to unbutton his shirt.
"No need to try and tear your shirt, young master."
He just looked at her then he noticed that she had frowned slightly then he quickly pulled himself away. Minerva just looked at him but then she spoke.
"You must get some sleep, you both will be waking up early for school."
Revencro climbed into the bed and Minerva waited until they were both in bed before she went to them and tucked them both in. They stared at her then Minerva smiled as she turned off the light and closed the door.
"Good night, young Masters."
With that Minerva left to her room and got ready for bed.
"I wonder what is wrong with them. Rhyshilo won't let me come too close and Revencro has scars and bruises on his stomach."
Minerva climbed into the bed and closed her eyes.
"I just hope that they'll tell me someday."
With that Minerva went to sleep.
