In a world different from his own, Howard realized that the fundamental rules remained the same.
Slaves, guards, servants...
Observing the hundreds bustling about the manor, Howard couldn't help but feel a sense of déjà vu. Those in power always shared common traits!
Back in Azure Sphere, although Howard was an orphan, he never fell to the status of a slave or servant.
After awakening his talents, he had even joined one of the top-ranked academies in Azure Sphere, sparing him from such experiences.
Now, witnessing the lives of these slaves and servants, Howard understood how he needed to position himself with Stano.
He had to present his talent in a way that would carve out an identity for himself, ensuring he wasn't seen as just another commoner.
Otherwise, wouldn't he be viewed merely as an enforcer in their eyes?
Time passed slowly, and night soon fell.
A knock at the door broke the quiet.
