It’s a shame more women can’t be like you.”, Ryo comforted to the best of his ability.
“If its philosophy you want to learn more about, I certainly can make that happen. I can talk with your parents about having your curriculum match more with Lord Phantomhive’s so you can assist him with his business endeavors. I’m sure they would have objections, especially your brother who was once my student, but if the Earl wants you to be by his side, they can’t say no.”
