He never expected that the children wanted to repay him this much, even after learning about Septa.

What he didn't know was that the children had understood the rumors. No, Erica was the one to figure out the person in the rumor as the smartest kid in the group. She told them that Noel had been protecting her this whole time, making the children feel moved.

Even though he wasn't with them anymore, their 'Big Brother Noel' was still protecting them.

Septa seemed to be more and more interested in them as he asked again, "So, who is this man that you want to repay?"

"As expected!" Septa was truly satisfied with Erica's intelligence. So, he added, "Then, I can guide you in front of these people. Fixing some mistakes here and there. I'm sure that I can't do anything to you that way!"

Erica thought for a moment. There was no demerit in this deal. If the person wanted, he could simply kidnap them instead of letting people know about his intention. And with him showing his status as the knight captain, it
