30Recruiting soldiers (3)
I thought it was strange at first.
When told to go to the outskirts of the castle rather than to a shack in the slums, Kevin looked puzzled as he didn't understand the meaning..
‘Why are you asking me to go here??’
I never imagined that I would have moved..
Kevin's parents were not financially well-off enough to move to the castle, and due to threats from Blood Fang, they even spent all of their emergency funds..
So I simply understood that there was ‘business’ there..
That was the line of common sense that Kevin could think of, and with the intention of meeting his parents and younger sister, he stopped at a bakery and bought a baguette and whipped cream..
‘Marie would really like it.’
Marie was her sister.
Marie ate hard bread every morning and complained about why we couldn't eat freshly made bread..
At that time, even though I saw him putting down the bread with a sullen face, I couldn't say that I would buy it for him..
The price of freshly made bread and bread that had cooled and hardened was more than double, and in particular, I did not dare to buy the whipped cream to spread on the bread..
You can be extravagant once.
However, knowing that the price of luxury is hunger, Kevin, who grew up at an early age, stuffed hard bread into his mouth..
and now.
It was different from before..
Even after buying bread and whipped cream, there was a lot of money left over, and Kevin planned to give it all to his parents as pocket money..
I laughed.
With light steps, I arrived at the announced location..
however.
“……What is this?!”
My mouth dropped open..
the sight before your eyes.
There was a sense of disconnection..
My parents, who lived in a shack, were drinking tea in the yard of their stylish wooden house, and warm bread was steaming on the table as if showing off..
That wasn't all.
My younger sister Marie, who used to wear shabby clothes made from scraps of cloth, put on a pure white dress and watered the flowers in the yard..
the world has changed.
Kevin's family was no longer poor, but lived the life of commoners who could enjoy everyday things..
“brother!”
“son?!”
Kevin's family found him later..
Marie ran to him a month later and hugged him, and Clark and Michelle also had tears in their eyes as they saw their son for the first time in a long time..
It was reunion time.
Although the bread and whipped cream he had prepared were in vain, Kevin was truly relieved that his family was doing so well..
And I was curious.
changes in family.
What on earth has happened so far?.
About him, his father, Clark, spoke on behalf of the family..
“At first, we were very embarrassed. Mr. Hans, Master Roman's servant, came to us and gave us a house to live in and land to farm, saying it was Master Roman's order. Not only that, they provided connections and provided financial support so that he could settle down in the castle. The last few days. This father seems to be living in a dream. In the slums…….”
My father's story was long..
He told me in detail how his life had changed and what had happened so far..
however.
At some point, Kevin stopped hearing what his father said..
The fact that the change in the family came from Roman brought back memories of what Roman had said to him..
“In the future, your family will not have to worry about livelihood issues. In a warm house that blocks the cold wind, you will eat delicious food three times a day, and you will live a life where you not only spend your days doing hard work but also enjoy hobbies. The way to live like that is simple. I plan to make something like that in the future.”
The day Roman accepted Kevin.
Roman promised..
Kevin thought he should sacrifice his life for Roman just because of the grace he had received, but without him knowing, Roman was keeping his promise..
Kevin's family no longer had to worry about making a living..
The wooden house blocked the cold wind, and the food on the table clearly showed a rich life..
Moment.
I was moved to tears.
With the hot emotions welling up inside his chest, Kevin lowered his head and swallowed his tears..
‘……thank you.’
Thank you.
In a class society where the differences in status are sky high,.
Roman did not turn away from his promise to an ordinary boy who was nothing..
Your beliefs are not wrong.
Roman was a man worth sacrificing his life for, and now I felt like I could die smiling if I died for him..
‘Let's go back again.’
now.
This is not the time to relax like this..
Since he knew how helpless he was at Barco's social party, he needed to train demon magic as soon as possible to become stronger..
It didn't matter even if I died in the process..
Roman will keep his promise to take care of his family, and as long as he has that confidence, he has no regrets about this choice..
blast furnace.
will become stronger.
Once again, Kevin has made up his mind about Roman..
however.
Clark, who had been talking nonsense just a moment ago, looked at Kevin's face and his expression froze in shock..
“……Have you ever been beaten by Master Roman??”
scar on face.
The red, swollen cheeks were clearly a sign of violence..
The human heart is cunning.
Kevin's parents, who had been expressing their gratitude to Roman just a moment ago, suddenly showed a fierce look on their faces..
“Please be honest. Really, Master Roman touched your face??”
It was delusional..
Dmitry's jerk.
The rumors disparaging Roman's reputation included his evil deeds of stabbing commoners..
If the.
If the traces of violence were caused by Roman.
Kevin's parents seemed unable to bear the favors they received at the expense of Kevin's suffering..
“no. Master Roman is definitely not that type of person.!”
“Then why is your face like that??”
“That's actually…….”
Kevin hurriedly waved his hand..
In response to his parents wanting the truth, he had no choice but to tell them about his experience at Barco's social party..
“……For that reason, I was slapped by a knight from the Barco family. However, Master Roman did not just sit by and stand by, but actually stepped up for me. He asked me why I was hitting my own person, and in return, he punished Barco's knight in front of everyone, and thanks to that, I was able to avoid being reduced to a clown in front of people. So don't misunderstand Master Roman. I know that Master Roman is called by a bad nickname, but in reality, the Master I have experienced is not a person who is prone to violence..”
“Is that true??”
“yes. You know I'm not one to lie to my parents. Master Roman, please value me..”
Kevin says.
The Clarks looked at each other with puzzled faces..
It's fortunate if it's not Roman's doing..
However, when you think about common sense, hitting Kevin is a much easier way to solve the problem than punishing Barco's knight..
Nevertheless, according to Kevin, Roman punished Barco's knight..
It was certain.
It was different from the rumors.
If what Kevin said is even half true, Roman was completely different from the person everyone misunderstood..
Michelle said.
“You are such a grateful person. Not only does he value my son, but he also takes care of us as a family. Son. What Master Roman did was not an easy decision. We must remember that and dedicate ourselves to him beyond what we have received from Master Roman..”
“okay. If there is anything we can do for you, please come and tell us at any time..”
It was my parents' sincerity..
I didn't know at the time.
The parents' reaction was truly touching..
They were completely enamored with Roman's personality, and that was the starting point that ignited the rumor..
The reunion time was short..
And the aftermath spread quickly.
* * *
The day after Kevin passed away.
Clark, who reunited with his friends from the slums after a long time, could not control his itchy mouth and told them what had happened..
“Of course, you can't trust the rumors of the world. You all know that our Kevin serves Master Roman, right? However, according to Kevin, Master Roman is a truly noble nobleman worthy of noblesse oblige..”
“Is Dmitri a jerk? no way!”
“Hey, this guy. How did I get the house I live in and the land I farm on? Master Roman gave it to us for Kevin. Just by looking at that, you can get a good idea of Master Roman’s personality. And not only that, there was an incident this time when Kevin followed Barco to a social party. There was a fight with Barco's knights, and Master Roman said he would protect his man, Kevin, and slapped Barco's knight in front of everyone. That person is Roman Dmitry..”
“That's really true?”
“okay! Whose family is this really? I mean, I saw one person correctly..”
At first it was a small rumor.
However, the rumor quickly spread around Dmitry, and Michelle, who heard it, started the rumor..
Laundry in the village.
Michelle, who was doing laundry, answered questions from the women around her..
“……Are the rumors true? Master Roman severely punished Barco's knight for Kevin's sake.?”
“Oh my, where did you hear that again? That being said, Master Roman is a person who really values his people, including Kevin. So, even though Barco's eldest son screamed that he would severely punish Kevin, he took Kevin's side. Have you ever heard that there is such a noble person in the world? Dmitry's jerk? That's all nonsense. I don't know what kind of people would dare tarnish the reputation of our Master Roman Dmitry, but in reality, you wouldn't even dare to look up because of the halo.?”
“Didn't you say that you personally saw Roman Dmitry being misbehaved in the past??”
“What are you talking about! Either I was wrong, or someone similar to Master Roman was acting up..”
son's benefactor.
Michelle even modified(?) bad memories..
The time when Dmitry was called a jerk and now are too different to be the same person..
Rumors start from the bottom..
Clark and Michelle's words spread around, and it grew stronger, completely turning Roman's image around..
people said.
“Roman Dmitry is a man who values his people. If he receives his trust, he can live a completely different life than before. Kevin from the slums and the Clark family who succeeded in entering prove him..”
Rumors abounded..
And just in time.
Roman posted an announcement to recruit private soldiers..
That was never the intended timing..
“……This is why many people want to apply for this recruitment. So give up. All the men in Dmitri who are willing to spend their time are making a fuss about applying, so don't waste your energy..”
The old man finished speaking..
Private Troop Rebellion).
Dmitry was excited by Roman’s post..
Lucas, who had been quietly listening to the old man, reacted in confusion at the gap in his memories..
‘The Roman Dmitry I know is not the kind of guy who deserves this kind of reputation. Has Roman Dmitry really changed completely? Even if only half of what happened at Varko's social party, starting with the subjugation of Blood Fang, is true, Roman is not so bad as to be called Dmitry's jerk..’
I got interested.
Roman Dmitry.
What kind of change happened to him?.
and.
If he was a person who valued his people as rumored, it would have been worth considering a career as a private soldier..
‘The problem is that such nobles do not exist in the world..’
That's something to check for yourself..
At first, I was intrigued..
Since it is not too late to withdraw from the test after taking the test, I thought I should take the test for fun..
At the same time, I was tired of mercenary work..
D-3 days until recruitment deadline.
Cases like Lucas were not the only ones..
Because of the people who broke down the barriers of prejudice, many people headed to Dmitry Castle on the day of the exam..
Recruiting Private Soldiers.
Due to unintentional rumors, it grew to an unprecedented scale..
