Miriam told Frank the truth, which ended being just as pitiable as the sick mother story.

"But isn't it more dramatic if my mother is dying? That's what my siblings always do when they beg for money in the streets!" said Miriam.

"They beg for money…?! What kind of poverty is in here…?" wondered Frank.

"Well, you might had never experienced poverty because you're clearly rich, sir… but that's how it is for most of the population…" said Miriam.

"I see… (I'm not actually rich!)" sighed Frank.

"Anyways! I'll take you for your word and come tomorrow morning!" said the girl, rushing outside and waving her hand.

"See ya!" she said, running away.

Frank never expected he would have a third encounter with a girl so mischievous… he ended offering her a job at such a young age. He hoped there weren't any laws against child labor.

After a few minutes, Onyx had come back safely, although what happened was indeed what Frank thought it would happen, Arthurious was almost attacked by a group of thugs with monster pets, but Onyx knocked them out before they could even reach the boy, and he made it successfully back home.

With Onyx back, Frank closed the shop and moved back to Earth, barely a few minutes passed there, and everything seemed to be mostly fine, he quickly resumed his daily life there for the moment, his family was still trying to decide which monster pet egg they wanted though…

Arthurious had come back to his home safely, without realizing that a mysterious black dragon had protected him from being assaulted in the middle of the night by very suspicious-looking thugs.

When the boy came back home, to a large manor where two guards greeted him as he passed through the gate.

"Sir Arthurious, you're safe!"

"We were about to go look for you… Please, be careful."

"S-Sorry about that… I left my Blackie in a Monster Pet Nursery so he can recover there…" said Arthurious.

"Oh, I see…"

"W-Well, I hope he get well, sir."

The two guards bowed their heads to the child as he walked back home.

The two looked at one another with a bit of concern.

"So his pet really got a beating then…"

"Hahh… I wish his siblings were not so aggressive…"

The little Arthurious moved back home and quickly walked through the dark corridors of the manor, trying to evade any sibling, he reached his room safely, and was greeted by his mother in there.

"Dear, where were you?" she asked.

"Mom… I found a very nice person, he healed Blackie and let it stay inside a monster pet nursery! I can come look for him every day." Said Arthurious.

"I-Is that so? I am glad…" said the woman.

"Were you worried too?" asked the boy.

"I was more worried about you… But I suppose your pet is important… Sigh… You shouldn't let your siblings bully you… I cannot do much as your mother, Arthurious, but you need to show them that you're not a person that can be played with…" said his mother.

"But what can I do…? I am weak, and Blackie always loses when they gang on him with their pets…" sighed Arthurious.

"Can't you evade the fights?" asked his mother.

"I can't… they corner me with Blackie, and force me to fight…" sighed Arthurious.

"But my son, we are still part of the family, you're not Arthurious Navarre for nothing, even if you're the youngest child of your father, you're still very much the son of the young brother that the Emperor of the Empire has… Your father is a very important figure as the brother of the Emperor…" said Arthurious mother.

"I-I know… But its hard… Why don't you help me, mom?" asked Arthurious.

"I already told you that I cannot do much… I can only cheer you up and guide you…" sighed Arthurious mother.

"…"

The boy looked sorrowfully into the ground as he seemed to be about to cry.

His mother was heart broken after seeing her son in such a state… she knew how much suffering he was going through, but also realized how little help she could realistically offer, making her feel completely frustrated by this.

"I wish I could do something more…" she sighed internally.

"I-I am going to bed… Tomorrow I can go meet Blackie…" said Arthurious.

"O-Okay then…" sighed his mother, as Arthurious walked to bed and didn't even had dinner.

"Good night…" she said.

"Good night." said Arthurious.

"…"

Arthurious mother looked at her son once more as she walked away.

She never expected that being the wife of the brother of the Emperor would bring so many difficulties in life. She was only chosen because she was beautiful, and her family had connections with the Navarre family… but to think the offspring she loves dearly is undergoing such harsh trials… it makes her feel very frustrated.

Because her husband had another three women, it was impossible for all of them to sleep with the same man, especially because they relentlessly hated one another, and this hate was transferred in the growing rivalry between siblings too, which even the father encouraged.

She sat down over her bed and looked into the ceiling, as she suddenly filled herself with the confidence she needed.

"Tomorrow morning I will try to ask with my husband… I have to try to make him stop this stupid rivalry between siblings… siblings should love and help each other, not fight…" sighed the woman.

Meanwhile, Miriam walked back home while moving across the passages she knew the best wouldn't be filled with thugs at this hour, reaching the orphanage with some bread and cheese she bought for the coins she had.

Knowing that tomorrow she'll get a job, she was filled with spirits to work hard and earn money, and was willing to spend this money for her siblings.

When she moved back to the orphanage, she was suddenly stopped by the two nouns of the church that attended the place.

"Miriam! Where were you at this hour?!"

"You damn child!"

"I-I was looking for a job…!" she said.

"You were not begging then?!"

"All your siblings were braking their backs working hard, and you were looking for a job?!"

The nouns began to grab the girl's hair strongly, making her cry in pain

"Please, stop! Ouch! I-I won't do it again!" cried Miriam while beginning to cry.

"You damn kid, we give you everything and this is how you repay us?!"

"Now, what's that you got there?!"

The women suddenly took away the bag with bread and cheese from the girl's hands.

"Hm? Did you tried to sneak this into your dormitory? You greedy liar!"

"Now go back to your room!"

"B-But that's mine!" cried Miriam.

"Nothing is yours! In here, everything is ours! Learn how to share, greedy girl!"

"Yeah, yeah! Now scram!"

Miriam began to cry as she ran back to her dormitory, her siblings noticed her but didn't said anything, knowing they might awake the rage of the nouns…

The girl began to cry silently while resting over her bed, it was rough, and cold, and she was hungry and thirsty.

"Mister…" she sighed, recalling the young man he had met today, who had offered her an opportunity that might change her life forever.
