Aile's words brought them to silence. Aile then came with ideas as the noble maid followed after to reject him, not leaving the power of negotiation on their hand. As such, the maid made concessions on their side unintentionally already tilting the advantage to their direction.
"Your noble family should hire 50 Star Merchant bodyguards for 10 years for the misses..." This amount was enough for a caravan yet for two people Aile demand such protection, not to mention for 10 years.
"..."
"We should organize a public turning of the heir into a eunuch, and it will be a big ceremony... then no one would dare have such thoughts against..."
"..."
"The heir will be dragged by the mount for 6 months for his crime, and he will act like a pet dog when the mounts are not moving..."
"..."
"......"
"..."
Aile's claims were all unreasonable. If a proper solution was to be achieved, they would need to come up with some compromises. Fiona understood that Aile was already asking for a very high price, and now she can act as the mediator. So she asked Aile, to bring the heir here and so that the nobles could meet him and she would take over and continue with the negotiations in the meantime.
Aile agreed reluctantly, and as he was leaving, the nobles requested the noble-maid to follow him. They realized that the maid was the voice of reason for him, and they did not want the maniac to bring their heir. They were afraid that he would be tortured if Aile brought him without anyone else. They were already worried that he might have done something to him in the day. But seeing that Fiona and Emily were not worried brought them some comfort.
While their mind was distracted by Aile and some of the negotiation was done in their stead. They could only hope to come up with a solution before the unreasonable person returns and takes the negotiation back into his hand. Fiona started to give off conditions and was planning to use them to deal with the mastermind behind this too. She soon figured out the culprit based on their description and some proof they brought to convince them that they were not at fault. Fiona rejected the evidence, claiming that it could be fabricated. But in her head, she narrowed down the suspects to two groups.

Outside the room, Aile waited for the maid after a little incident. She came back, and Aile said, "Sorry... let's go meet our guest." Changing the topic, the two of them left to get the heir. Reaching the tree that housed the nobleman's hand were still tied to the tree, and they saw his face covered by a red sauce as he was using the sole of his feet to lift a piece of bread to eat. Aile asked one of the guards if he has confessed to his crimes. They nodded. Looking at the messy floor, Aile shouted "pig!"
"Since you have not managed to eat half the food like this, then I guess I should turn you to a eunuch for what you did... So now I will give you a couple of choices."
Aile then turned around to the maid and said, "I do not think it will be appropriate if you stay for the next part!"
She clenched her teeth and with a red face said, "I will leave when you start the operation." She was interested to know what will happen next Aile has brought her many surprises. Today following him, she had her heartbeat raised, and her experiences expanded more than any other time of her life.
So she had made a promise to herself to continue and follow him as much as possible so that she could continue to experience new things. Aile realized that she was not interested in leaving, so he continued to explain the choices to the noble kidnaper.
Hearing the word "operation" the nobleman was almost crying.
"You see there, there is actually a lot of different ways that one can become a eunuch..." Aile then gave a dramatic pause, allowing each of the words to sink in. "You don't believe me? Fine, let me tell you about your options." Aile then put up a pondering expression and soon after started to explain. The maid, on the other hand, was crimson. She was not used to hearing such vulgar words and even more so amused at seeing the scared face of the arrogant noble. She had always been inquisitive, and today she was happy, amused and satisfied with everything she experienced.
"So there is the first option a pill from the alchemist, and although a little expensive it is very effective. Your little friend down there will go into a permanent coma. This is perhaps the simplest way and hardest to detect. What do you know you did eat a lot maybe today will be the last day for you to think about women. But I hear you already have a successor, so it is not all too bad."
Seeing the expression of regret and his attempt to throw up, Aile laughed. He stopped him from vomiting immediately, he did not want to see that. Aile said, "Well, that would be too easy, you did not think I would do that. The food was brought here in front of you as we arrive, and I could not put anything there. Plus, that would be too easy and painless, and you don't deserve that."
The noble young master was less scared, and yet the loss of colour in his face was clearly still there.
"Where was I, there is the second method which is to flatly cut everything. That will make you faster at running, giving you an advantage there, and I guess it will remove a target of being sucker-punched or kicked."
"The third is cutting the balls. This will preserve some of your dignity, and you can pretend to be complete in front of some people."
"The fourth option is to just leave the balls. To be honest, I am curious as to how anyone will pull that off."
