[ At first Kevin thought it was strange, when he was told to go to the outskirts of the castle rather than a shack in the slum, Kevin showed a puzzled look as he did not understand English.
Why was he going there ?, he didn't know.
Kevin's parents did not have enough money to move to the castle, and they used all of their emergency funds at the threat of Blood Fang.
So he simply understood that there would be some 'business' for him.
That was the only thing Kevin could think about of, and also with the intention of meeting his parents and his sister, he stopped by a bakery to buy Baguettes and whipped cream. ]
'Marie will love it.'
Marie was his sister.
He remember Marie ate hard bread every morning, complaining about why they couldn't eat freshly made bread.
At that time, he couldn't say that he would buy it, even as he watched them put the bread down with a gloomy face.
The price difference between freshly made bread and bread that had cooled and hardened was more than double, and in particular, he couldn't even dare to buy fresh cream spread on bread.
At that time he cannot think about luxury of eating freshly made bread, knowing the price of that luxury, Kevin would stuffed a hard bread into his mouth without saying anything.
And now for him it was different from before.
After buying the bread and cream, he was still left with loat of money, which he decided to give all of it to his parent.
Kevin started to laugh after thinking about it.
With a light footstep, he arrived at the place where he was told to go.
But he saw something unexpected there," What is this?"
His mouth was wide open, when he saw the sight in front of him.
His parents, who were living in a shack, were drinking tea in the yard of a stylish wooden house, and warm bread was steaming on the table as if it were lavish.
It wasn't just that.
His sister, Marie, who wore shabby clothes made from pieces of fabric, was wearing a pure white dress and watered the flowers in the yard.
His world was charged suddenly.
Kevin's family was no longer the poor, but lived a life of ordinary people who could enjoy everyday things.
brother!
son?!
Kevin's family found him belatedly.
Marie ran up to him and hugged him, and Clark and Michelle also had tears in their eyes as they saw their son after a long time.
It was reunion after long time
Although the bread and whipped cream he had prepared for the most part turned out to be useless, Kevin was truly relieved to know that his family was doing so well.
And he wondered how his family changes, what happened in the past.
About that, his father Clark, spoke on behalf of the family.
"At first, we were very confused. Master Roman's servant, Mr. Hans, came to visit and gave us a house and land to cultivate, saying that it was Master Roman's order. Not only that, but he also gave me connections and financial support so that I could get a place in the castle, in last few days I seems to be living in a dream."
His father's talk was long.
He talked about how his life has changed and what has happened in the past.
But.
Kevin couldn't hear his father for a moment.
The fact that the changes in the family came from Roman, reminded him of what Roman had said to him.
"In the future, your family will not have to worry about their livelihood. In a warm house that blocks the cold wind, eating three delicious meals every day, you will live a life that not only spends each day with hard work, but also enjoys hobbies. I plan to do that in the future."
The day Roman accepted Kevin.
Roman promised.
Kevin thought that day he should sacrifice his life for Roman based on the grace he had received, but without realizing it, Roman had kept his promise.
Kevin's family was no longer worried about their livelihood.
The wooden house kept the cold wind out, and the food on the table was a clear indication of a prosperous life.
Moment later, after seeing all these Kevin started to cry.
With a burning feeling in his chest, Kevin lowered his head and continued crying.
' Thank you very much.'
Thank you.
In a hierarchical society where the difference of status is heavenly.
Roman did not turn away from his promise to an ordinary boy who was nothing.
His beliefs were not wrong.
Roman was a man worthy giving his life, and now it seemed that if he died for him, he could die laughing.
'Let's go back.'
This is not the time to relax.
Since he knew how helpless he was at Barco's social party, he needed to train ghost magician technic as soon as possible to become stronger.
Even if he died in the process, it doesn't matter.
Roman kept his promise to take care of his family, and as long as he will do that, he has no regrets about this choice.
Kevin was burning with strong will to become strong
Once again, Kevin made up his mind for Roman.
By the way.
Clark, who had been talking in utterance until now, looked at Kevin's face, and his expression hardened for a moment.
" Have you ever been beaten by Master Roman?"
His wounds on the face.
The red, swollen cheeks were clearly signs of violence.
The human heart is deceitful.
Kevin's parents, who had just expressed their gratitude to Roman, showed a ferocious face for a moment.
"Tell me honestly. Really, did Master Roman touch your face?"
They could have been mistaken
Dmitry's nerd.
Rumors that undermined Roman's reputation included the evil deed of throwing swords at commoners.
If the traces of violence are due to Roman.
Kevin's parents seemed unbearable for being so hospitable in return for Kevin's suffering.
No. Master Roman is never like that!"
"Then why does your face look like that?"
"That's actually ."
Kevin hurriedly waved his hand.
In response to his parents' desire for the truth, he reluctantly recounted what he experienced at Barco's social party.
" For that reason, I was slapped in the face by a knight of the Barco family. However, Master Roman did not neglect it, but rather came forward and provided support for me. Conversely, he punished Barco's knight in front of everyone, asking why he beat his person, and thanks to this, I was able to avoid becoming 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 violent person at all."
"Is that true?"
Yes. You know I'm not the one to lie to my parents. Master Roman, respect me."
At Kevin's words.
The Clarks looked at each other with puzzled faces.
It would be fortunate if it wasn't Roman's fault.
However, when he think about it by common sense, hitting Kevin rather than punishing Barco's knight is a very easy way to solve the problem.
Still, Kevin said that Roman punished Barco's knight.
It was certain.
It was different from the rumors.
If what Kevin said was half true, then Roman was completely different from the kind of person and everyone misunderstood him.
Michelle said "He is very grateful person. It is not enough that he value our son, and that he takes care of us as a family. son What Master Roman did was by no means an easy decision. We must remember that fact and dedicate ourselves to him beyond what we received from Master Roman."
" If there is anything we can do for you too, please come and tell me."
It was true word spoken by there heart of his parents.
He didn't know then but his parents was truly moved.
They were completely engrossed in Roman's personality, and the fact that was the starting point to ignite rumors.
There reunion was short.
And the aftermath spread quickly around.
* * *
The day after Kevin returned.
Clark, reunited with his friends from the Ghetto after a long time, they couldn't stand his tickling mouth and talked about what had happened.
"I can't believe the rumors of Roman Dimitry. You all know well that Kevin, serve Master Roman right? But in Kevin's words, Master Roman is a truly noble who deserves a noblesse oblige."
"Dmitry's nerd? are you sure!
"Hey, what with your reaction. How did you think I get the house I live in and the land to cultivate? Master Roman gave it to us. You can tell the character of Master Roman well just by looking at it. And not only that, there was an incident this time when Kevin was following Roman at Barco's social party. There was an argument with the Knights of Barco, but Master Roman said he would protect his man Kevin, and blew Barco Knight's cheek nicely in front of everyone. That person is Roman Dmitry."
"Is that really true?"
Okay! Whose house is it really? One person asked right away."
At first, it was a small rumor.
However, the rumor quickly circulated around Dmitry, and Michelle who heard it set fire to the rumor.
Village laundry.
Michelle, who was doing the laundry, answered the questions of the wives around her.
" Are the rumors true? You mean that Master Roman severely punished Barco's knights for Kevin?"
"Mom, where else did you hear that? That being said, Master Roman is a person who really values his people, including Kevin. So, even though Barco's eldest son shouted that he would punish Kevin, he sided with Kevin. Have you ever heard that there are such nobles in the world? Dmitry's nerd? It's all bullshit. I don't know what kind of guys dare to tarnish our Master Roman Dmitry's reputation, but in reality, the halo makes it impossible to look up
to.
"Didn't you say you saw Roman Dmitry in action before?"
"What! At that time I thought it must be a guy similar to Master Roman."
Son's benefactor.
Michelle has remodeled even bad memories, the days when he was called Dmitry's idiot and now.
Rumors start from the bottom to up.
Clarke and Michelle's words spread around, and they grew faster and completely reversed Roman's image.
people said
"Roman Dmitry is a man who values his people. If you trust him, you can live a completely different life than before. Kevin from the slum and the Clark family who succeeded in entering prove that."
Rumors were like rife.
and just in time.
Roman posted an announcement that he would be recruiting enlisted men.
That was never the intended timing.
" For this reason, many people want to apply for this enlistment recruitment. So give up all the guys in Dmitry saying they're going to use their body a little bit and they're all going to apply, so don't waste your time for nothing."
The old man finished speaking.
Private soldiers.
At one of Roman's posts, Dmitry was moved.
Lucas, who was quietly listening to the old man's words, responded that he was confused by the discrepancy in his memories.
'The Roman Dmitry he knew isn't the kind of guy who deserves such a reputation. Has Roman Dmitry really changed? Even if what happened at Barco's social party, starting with the subjugation of Blood Fang, is only half true, Roman is not a bad guy enough to be called Dmitry's nerd.'
His interest turned around.
Roman Dmitry.
What changes happened to him?
And.
And at the rumor, he was someone who values his people, it is worth considering the enlisted job.
'The problem is that there are no such nobles in the world.'
'That's something to check for myself.'
At first, Gumi pulled.
It's not too late to take the test, so he thought he would have to take the test for fun.
At the same time, the mercenary job was boring to him.
D-3 days until the application deadline.
Cases like Lucas were not alone.
Because of those who broke down the barriers of prejudice, on the day of the test, a large number of people headed to Dmitry Castle.
Recruiting of private soldiers.
Due to unintentional rumors, it has grown on an unprecedented scale.
