Chapter 14: CH 14

Sebas has served the Pepper family since the previous generation and is the oldest servant.

Nowadays, the Pepper family is ridiculed as a failed family, but until the last generation, they were a prestigious family that produced top-notch wizards.

His predecessor, in particular, was one of the best wizards in the country.

His name was known all over the world, and he was trusted by his people.

However, the previous generation died in an accident along with his wife, and the Pepper family went into decline as if they were plummeting down a hill.

The main reason for this is that the current head of the family, Black Pepper, had no talent for magic.

In aristocratic society, magic is valued.

At the stage when he took over the Count’s family, Black was also trying his best to fulfill his responsibilities as a lord.

However, the sudden appointment as lord and the overly great image of his predecessor made Black suffer.

No matter what he does, he is compared to his predecessors and cannot meet the expectations of those around him.

This fact led him to repeatedly engage in eating and drinking to escape.

At some point, he had become a foolish lord who played as he pleased.

He had stopped listening to any of Sebas’ words and was completely out of control.

And Owen, the legitimate son of the Pepper family, had grown up to be a boy with rough behavior, perhaps like Black.

By the time Sebas began to serve Owen, it was already too late to say or do anything.

He should have given up on Black and focused on Owen’s education.

The Pepper family may be destroyed in Owen’s generation.

Sebas was frustrated by his lack of strength.

He felt sorry for his predecessors.

But there was no point in regretting it now.

At least, Sebas swore to be loyal to the Pepper family until the end.

‘That is what I’m supposed to do.’

Then, Owen’s behavior suddenly changed.

He began to act as if he was a changed person.

Owen never forgot to say thank you and treat others with respect, no matter who they were.

It is hard to believe that he is the child who has been disrespecting and attacking his servants.

‘I wonder how many nobles treat their servants with respect.’

However, Owen’s appearance is not the right way for a nobleman to be.

“Bochama is a nobleman who stands above others. He must not address those below him with honorifics.”

He had warned him about this.

Owen, on the other hand.

“Why can’t we use honorifics with our elders, even those we respect? Heaven does not create man above man, nor man below man. I am not qualified to stand above them and tell them what to do because I have not learned enough,” he answered.

Aristocrats were originally meant to be above the common people.

It is common knowledge in this world.

It is common knowledge among the people that nobles are great, although the basis of this is magical supremacy.

Denying it could lead to the denial of society as a whole.

So, Owen’s way of thinking is, by no means, a commendable one.

However, Sebas had some sympathy for Owen’s thoughts.

Would a nobleman who had done nothing be so great?

Is the current head of the family, Black Pepper, who is not fulfilling his duties as an aristocrat, really someone to be respected?

There were many times when he felt that way.

So, Sebas…

He told him not to say anything, “Please don’t say what you just said in front of others.”

“I am very proud of Bocha-, no Owen-sama.”

Owen learned magic as if he were the embodiment of the saying, “Those who do not learn are not qualified to stand above others.”

At first, many of the servants were suspicious of Owen’s change.

However, the servants who witnessed his efforts gradually came to support him.

It has been over two years since his personality changed.

No one in this house has any negative feelings toward Owen anymore.

‘I am sure he’ll be able to turn this fallen Pepper family around.’

That is what he thought as he watched Owen grow into a fine young man.

And Sebas was happy to be able to see his growth up close.

Today, Owen had spent the morning practicing his magic.

Sebas watched from the side.

“Pepper’s family is safe,” he muttered to his late ancestors.
