It only took a few days for the butler to realize there was nothing left to teach the other person. Looking at the youth's face, the butler could only pack his belongings with a heavy heart and go to bid Claude his very last farewell.
When the butler went to say goodbye to Claude, Claude was on the phone with someone else.
"I still have a few matters to attend to here. I'll call you later," Claude said to the person on the other end, then hung up.
"Have you already packed your things? Leaving so soon?" Claude asked, a bit surprised.
"Yes, everything's packed. The new butler you've hired is quite clever; there's nothing more for me to teach him. He's taken over all the affairs of the manor, and I have no further use for being here. That's why I'm here to say goodbye," said the butler.
The butler couldn't help but feel a bit sad. After all, he'd worked in this place for over ten years, with deep affection for every flower and plant here, and also for Claude.
