chapter 11
Episode 011. thank you for this food
‘What kind of eyes… … .’
The maid raised her head at Aaron’s cold words, and her chin trembled involuntarily.
The fear of being bitten to death at any moment.
Standing in front of the door was not a person, but a hungry beast waiting for its prey.
Ding Kang-
A maid standing in the back dropped a brass bowl of water.
My hand was shaking so much that I missed the handle.
Warm steam rose from the water spilled in the hallway in front of the door.
“There is a saying that if you endure anything three times, you will avoid murder.”
Aaron said, looking down at the maids with cold eyes.
Covered in fear, they waited for Aaron’s words without even raising their heads.
Then Aaron spoke.
“But my patience is limited to once. If you treat me as a superior, I will set the example you deserve. But if you don’t know the subject, it will surely make you realize the subject.”
“Sin, sin, sorry. young master.”
The maid in front hurriedly lowered her head.
I just wanted to get out of here and run away right away, and the trivial excuses I had just remembered had long since disappeared down my throat.
“If you understand, go back. I can do the washing and tidying myself.”
Aaron glanced at the spilled water on the floor and turned around.
“Oh no, boy! we… … !”
“Go back. Before I change my mind.”
“Yes, yes!”
Without saying a word, the maids quickly wiped up the spilled water and left as if they were running away.
“Performance sure.”
Returning to the room after the maids had gone, Aaron washed his face roughly with a little water left in the basin.
It wasn’t Aaron’s scary expression that made the maids panic.
Fear, a skill obtained by killing Gedrik.
It was used to correct the messy rumors spreading in the mansion, and it worked well as expected.
‘I thought the kids in the back were more frightened. Is it because of the level?’
He lay down on the bed and reviewed the situation from a moment ago.
The level of the maid in front is 4. Those in the back are 2.
The maid in front was just a little frightened, but the maids in the back shivered all over and even dropped them into the washbasin.
There definitely seemed to be a difference in effect depending on the level.
‘Peer skill consumes too much mental power. It will be difficult to use a lot.’
Aaron rubbed his throbbing temples.
He had to consume mental strength to use skills because he was naturally unable to use mana.
Unlike mana, which can be replenished through mana training or meditation, the only way to replenish mental strength is to rest.
A means was needed to address this shortcoming.
‘Sooner or later, I’ll have to stop by Tmolin one more time.’
After thinking about the future for a while, Aaron fell asleep enjoying the soft touch of the bed.
* * *
“Bocchan, are you there?”
that afternoon. Derek came to Aaron’s room, who had fallen asleep late.
Aaron woke up at the sound of a knock, tidied up his hair, and approached the door.
When he opened the door, he had changed into a neat figure before he knew it.
“I apologize for what happened this morning. In the future, we will be more strict in cracking down on children.”
As soon as the door opened, Derek immediately bent down and handed over the apple.
It seemed that the maids who ran into Aaron were talking about what they had been through.
Aaron laughed and shook his head.
“What did Lord Derek do wrong? The ministers must have been confused by the sudden increase in the number of people they needed to attend. Don’t worry too much.”
“I feel relieved when you say that. thank you.”
Originally, those of low status have a sense of qualification deep in their hearts, and when an opportunity to rise in status comes, they try to take full advantage of it.
But Aaron didn’t look like that at all.
Even when he first came here, he wasn’t rash or conceited, and even when he said a word, he was full of consideration for the other person.
‘As expected, the young master couldn’t have done such a thing. These spoiled things.’
The maids who ran into Aaron in the morning made a fuss about the young master trying to eat them, but Derek didn’t believe them.
Perhaps what he said at that time was closer to being polite than angry.
“I bet you didn’t come here to tell me about that, do you have anything else to say to me?”
Aaron asked, watching Derek ponder something with a stiff face.
Derek quickly corrected his expression and nodded.
“You are also quick-witted. In fact, there was an instruction from the lord to start the young master’s education from today.”
“From today?”
Aaron’s eyes widened slightly.
I expected it to give me time to adapt to the house, but I’m already starting my education.
It was a part that showed how much the baron’s greed for Aaron was.
“yes. The Bocchan has now become Odd Haken. They deserve to be educated and treated appropriately.”
“Um, I see. Then what can I do?”
Aaron asked with a face mixed with anticipation and tension.
Derek looked at him happily and continued.
“for now… … .”
He gave a briefing on the various types of education Aaron should receive in the future.
Basic etiquette and etiquette to be equipped as a nobleman, the history of the kingdom of Delor and the history of the Odd Haken family.
And even the characteristics and cultural differences of different races such as elves and dwarves.
There was a mountain of things to learn.
Of course, you didn’t have to master all of this.
In the end, Aaron would live with humans for most of his life, so it was irrelevant if he properly learned the things he would use in an aristocratic society.
“A tutor will arrive at the mansion tomorrow afternoon. He is a famous person who studied in the royal capital, so he will be of great help.”
“yes. Thank you, Gong Derek.”
“It was nothing. I’m just conveying the Lord’s will. Then rest in peace for tomorrow.”
After the briefing, Derek bowed politely and left the room.
next day.
As Derek said, a tutor from the capital visited the mansion.
A high-class manpower who is said to have frequented famous aristocratic families in the capital.
It took quite a bit of time to pay extra money to recruit because there was no time.
“Please take good care of me.”
“I am honored to have called you. Baron.”
He exchanged brief greetings with the baron and unpacked his things at the mansion.
It would take quite a while to teach Aaron, so he arranged a place to stay.
“hello. My name is Hamar, who is in charge of the young master’s liberal arts education.”
that afternoon. After getting ready, the tutor went to Aaron’s room.
A middle-aged man with neatly brushed hair.
The neat appearance and clothes gave off the feeling of a scholar.
“Nice to meet you, Lord Hamar. This is Aaron Oddhaken. I haven’t learned anything, so I’m inexperienced, but I’ll try my best.”
Aaron greeted Derek as politely as he did when he first met him.
“Oh, you already have the basics.”
Hamar glanced over at Aaron with bright eyes.
I heard from the butler that he was a bastard who lived outside for a long time, but he didn’t look that good at all.
“Have you ever learned manners?”
“I learned a little from my mother when I was little.”
“Oh, you have a wonderful mother.”
Hamar nodded happily and set the bag the size of him down beside the desk.
There were dozens of books in the bag, whose handle was tangible as if it had been used for a long time.
‘Greeting etiquette, dining etiquette, the history of the Kingdom of Delor… … .’
Authorized books researched and published by Kingdom scholars.
Seeing the cover of the book flooded Aaron’s head with a lot of information.
[You have learned the basic, intermediate, and advanced levels of noble dining etiquette.]
[You have learned the basic, intermediate, and advanced levels of nobility greeting etiquette.]
[You have learned the basic, intermediate, and advanced levels of conversation etiquette with nobility.]
[The historical knowledge of the kingdom of Delor… … .]
Even just looking at the cover, a sense of déjà vu kicked in, and everything in the book came to mind.
‘It was good to break the achievement.’
Among Burfect’s achievements was book collection.
In the game, acquiring a book increases wisdom, but here it seems that the contents of the book are absorbed as knowledge.
“Everything you learn is contained in this bag. Education starts tomorrow, so you’re just taking a quick look.”
“All right.”
“Then see you tomorrow.”
Hamar left, leaving behind a large bag of books.
“thank you for this food.”
Aaron murmured as he spilled books from his bag on the desk.
* * *
“This book… … You mean you read it all in one day?”
next day. Hamar, who found Aaron’s room, widened his eyes.
More than half of the books in the bag were lying on the desk.
“yes. Because I read it all night long.”
Aaron nodded as if it didn’t matter.
“Excellent. Pre-learning is the basis of all learning. No matter how much you scan, this must have taken quite a bit of time. Aren’t you tired?”
“I didn’t skim it. As I just said, I read them all. I’m a little tired, but I’m in order for my classes.”
“Oh, you see.”
‘I thought he was a polite model student, but now I see that he is a cute little fox.’
Hamar snorted inwardly at Aaron’s impudent attitude.
The sons of aristocrats with big brains of Aaron’s age try to avoid studying in subtle ways rather than openly showing dislike.
However, it must be in Hamar’s palm.
To him, who was good at dealing with students, this level was nothing more than light charm.
“You are the first to read the book I brought you so quickly. However, simply reading a book does not mean that learning is complete. Theory and practice are completely different.”
smart-
As Hamar finished speaking, someone knocked on the door.
“young master. I brought you a meal.”
As soon as I opened the door, some servants came in with meals.
It was a diet that seemed to be more careful than usual, such as lamb steak with spices, corn soup, and rye bread.
“A good teaching material has arrived just in time. Bocchan, please come this way.”
When the food display was over, Hamar invited Aaron to sit down.
In fact, these dishes were special teaching materials requested by the kitchen for education.
The most basic of all cultures is table etiquette.
I was determined not to eat a single bite if I couldn’t do what I was taught once.
“If you’ve read all of that book, you know where to put tableware and how to use it, right?”
“yes.”
“Then, I won’t explain further, so please start eating. If I say I’m wrong, you’ll have to put the utensils down right away.”
“All right.”
Aaron nodded his head without much expression and picked up the tableware.
‘no… … . what the… … .’
After a while, Hamar’s face slowly hardened as he watched the meal.
He didn’t say a word until Aaron finished eating and wiped his mouth with a napkin.
* * *
“How is Aaron?”
About a week after training begins. The baron called the butler and asked.
Originally, to teach the laws of the nobility, it is standard to call teachers one by one and teach them step by step.
However, as Aaron started late, he called in teachers from each field at once.
Zeke, the deficit, took over a year to complete all of his training, so Aaron must be similar.
It would be difficult to receive a lot of education at once, but it was better to finish it before the coming-of-age ceremony, so I had no choice.
“You are holding up well. You don’t even have a look of tiredness on your face.”
“Good thing. I was worried that I might have added too many teachers.”
“Aren’t you a very talented person? You will do well in the future.”
Derek laughed. It was then.
smart!
Someone knocked hard on the door of the office.
Derek, who was standing in front of the door, opened the door frowning.
“Who would do something so rude… … ?”
“Hello, Derek. Hello, Baron.”
When I opened the door, I saw a middle-aged man who took off his hat and greeted me.
It was none other than Hamar who found the office.
Only I am immune to magic
