chapter 5
Episode 005. Kihihin (meaning to ask for help)
‘That damn slave made the baron angry!’
Morrison glared at number 101 and nodded eagerly.
“Nothing! It’s still not in good condition, so I was going to sell it sooner or later. Please feel free to talk. You can just take it with you if you like.”
“Thank you. Then today’s inspection will end with this.”
“I understand, baron. Thank you very much for your hard work. What are you doing! Hurry up, let the kids in and get organized!”
Morrison scolded the overseers lest the baron change his mind.
Even with his eyes, there was not one or two things to point out, but it was a welcome on this side if it was passed on to one of those unlucky silver-haired slaves.
“No. 101. What is your real name?”
The baron asked while taking a look at the busy people walking around.
“My name is Aaron. Baron.”
“Aaron… … That’s a good name. Did Amelia build it for you?”
“yes.”
Aaron hurriedly wiped away the flowing tears and looked at the baron.
“I’m sorry for being rude. Stop being overjoyed.”
Aaron’s face, after wiping away the tears, was as calm as ever.
Seeing this, Gardi approached the baron and spoke to him.
“Are you sure you want to take this guy with you?”
“This guy. Cover up your words. Can’t you even see it? My blood runs through this child.”
The baron’s eyebrows, which had not even moved, twitched.
Gardi said yes or no.
“this guy… … . No, this man was born in a rural village and lived as a slave for decades. Even if the young master is right, it is premature to take him to the family. Your wife will hate it too.”
Usually bastards born outside the family are not recognized as children and wander outside.
Even if they were reaped from the family, most of them worked as servants or took care of the poor.
It was obvious how Aaron, who had been a slave for 10 years, would be treated by the family.
“What does the status of the past mean to the child with whom my blood flows? If you haven’t learned anything, you can teach it.”
“It seems that he is already coming of age, but I wonder if his teaching will be of great significance.”
Gardi shook his head.
There was a mountain of things to learn in order to live in an aristocratic society.
Just listing all sorts of life manners, horseback riding, archery, dancing, chess, theology, etc. made my eyes go dark.
All of the deficits were educated from childhood and had them in their bodies, but Aaron learned nothing even though he was approaching adulthood.
Even if he taught from now on, he would be able to imitate a nobleman, but he would not be able to become a true nobleman.
“Gardi. Tell me about Odd Haken’s family motto.”
The Baron asked, making eye contact with Gardi.
He likes to openly argue with his subordinates, but when he is determined, he always puts his family motto at the forefront and keeps his mouth shut.
Gardi gently closed his eyes as if he had come.
“If it doesn’t work, let it be… … no see.”
“Is there anything else you want to say?”
“… … Do as you please.”
Gardi nodded helplessly and took a step back.
It was rude to continue arguing after those words came out.
“Aaron. you are no longer a slave I will go to the family with me, so hurry up and get ready.”
The baron who defeated Gardi said to Aaron.
‘I’m sure I’ll follow you.’
Gardi put his hand on his hip and glared at Aaron with a disapproving expression.
The story of an aristocrat’s hidden child realizing his status and becoming an aristocrat and living happily is a miracle that every commoner in the world dreams of.
Now that I became the main character of that miracle, it’s obvious how happy she is inside. … .
“It can’t be. Baron.”
“… … what?”
The Baron and Gardi doubted their ears for a moment.
Aaron spoke again to the two standing with dumbfounded faces.
“I’m more than happy to hear you say that, but I can’t follow the baron.”
“What is the reason?”
Hiding his impatience, the baron asked.
Trying to kick yourself out of slavery and the chance to become a nobleman.
It was impossible without it.
“My wish was to meet the baron and deliver a letter from my mother, not to follow the baron. I am a slave No matter how much the baron’s blood flows in my body, the life of a slave suits a slave.”
Aaron said softly.
He no longer shed tears.
It wasn’t that he was hiding his true feelings, but he really seemed to have no regrets.
If it hadn’t been for the Baron’s catch, he would have gone into the mine without looking back.
‘It’s deep inside after ten years of hard work in the mine. It must resemble the mother’s temperament. She’s also matured beyond her age.’
Aaron expressed his refusal, but the baron’s heart became stronger.
Gardi’s gaze, which had been looking at him with disapproval, softened considerably.
‘It’s unexpected.’
This silver-haired bastard had a good sense of humor by nature.
Which slave in the world would refuse to rise in status and want to return to a hellish life?
“Where is the life that was determined from birth? I will see and decide what kind of life suits you. So don’t be stubborn and get ready to leave.”
“But Baron… … .”
“stop! No matter what anyone says, you are my son. I will not tolerate any further replies.”
The baron’s voice, which had been infinitely warm, finally gave way to a chill.
‘done.’
Aaron raised his sad feelings as hard as he could seeing his firm demeanor.
Soon, the tip of his nose turned cold, and clear tears flowed again from the dry tear ducts.
“really… … Can you really? Can I call the baron father?”
“… … .”
The baron watched the tears running down Aaron’s cheeks.
No matter how big his head is and how deep he is, in the end he was just a child who grew up without adult love.
Hearing warm words from his father, whom he wanted so much after being worked as a slave in a mine for decades, must have caused his blocked emotional spring to explode.
“Come here.”
The baron let go of the chill and gently opened his arms.
Aaron hesitated several times before approaching him and hugging him tightly.
“Ughhh… … . father, father… … .”
“okay. I am your father.”
The baron patted Aaron’s head with an infinitely benevolent face.
‘Something got in your eye.’
Gardi, who had been watching the scene, sniffled his nose for no reason and averted his gaze.

“I brought you the best horse in the mine.”
Moments later, Morrison came to the baron as he prepared to leave at the entrance of the mine.
He had just picked out a decent horse and brought it to the baron’s orders.
“That doesn’t sound right for a mine.”
Gardi looked around at the horse and let out a small exclamation.
What Morrison had brought with him was a large brown horse.
It was about the same height as the baron’s horse, and it was clear that someone had been constantly taking care of it.
“Where did you get these words from? I bet you didn’t take a picture to use as a pack horse in the mine.”
“Baron! Be careful!”
“Hee hee hee!”
As Kane tried to pet the horse’s neck, it raised its front paw high and threatened him.
“oh my!”
“Ugh!”
As he lifted his forepaw, the two slaves holding the reins rose and fell.
“Kee-hee-hee!”
The guy who went on a rampage once snorted at the fallen slaves.
The baron twitched his eyebrows and clicked his tongue.
“Your temper isn’t normal.”
“hahahaha… Actually, I bought it as a present for the baron, but it was a car that I had a hard time with because it was so dirty.”
“You tried to present such a nasty bastard to the baron?”
Gardi frowned and glared at Morrison.
Morrison hurriedly waved his hand.
“No, no! Originally, I had no intention of giving it as a present! When the mana stone harvest ends this month, a gift along with it… … .”
“Are there any other guys? It’s okay even if it’s not nice, so please be a little milder.”
Kane looked at Aaron and said.
The reason Morrison asked for a horse was to ride Aaron.
I hadn’t learned how to ride a horse yet, so I planned to go back slowly teaching him how to ride a horse.
If possible, he urgently requested to be ridden on a good horse, but if his personality was like this, it was no big deal.
“All right. Then I’ll bring you another one.”
“Baron. May I take the reins for a moment?”
Morrison was about to take the horse back when Aaron asked.
“This spoiled slave… … ?”
Morrison immediately frowned and was about to shout, but his words trailed off.
It was because Gardi was glaring at him with sad eyes.
‘This slave has something to do with the baron!’
Morrison was the one who rose to the position of mine owner with a single glance.
There must have been a reason for the knight commander to stare so openly.
“I don’t know if it hurts.”
He left the reins with the slave and withdrew.
Aaron looked at the baron before approaching the horse.
The baron crossed his arms and nodded.
“Try it.”
To see what happened to the two slaves in front of you and not be afraid to act like that.
I was worried that I would get hurt, but on the other hand, I was proud.
“thank you.”
Aaron bowed his head and approached the majestic horse.
“Hee hee hee!”
It roared as if it had been waiting for Aaron as it approached, raising its front paws high.
Aaron glared at it without moving even when the hard front paws attacked him.
“Turisaz.”
Right before its paws smashed his head, Aaron grabbed the reins while chanting rune magic.
“Hee-hee!”
The next moment, the forepaw, which had been swinging like a mace, came down to the ground powerlessly.
“Hee hee! Hee hee hee!”
He struggled to lift his front paws again, but for some reason he couldn’t.
It was because Aaron’s grip on the reins was too strong.
Aaron did not stop by pulling the reins, but grabbed the horse’s head and neck as if wrapping it, and pressed it down.
There was no sympathy or consideration between rider and horse.
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, power for power.
Aaron was controlling him with only the strength of his arm.
“Purrule!”
It struggled as if it was frustrated, but only its hind legs, which were relatively free, moved anxiously like a tap dance, while its head and front legs were fixed on the ground and unable to move.
After resisting for a while, he finally froze in a position where he spread his front legs wide apart and put his head on the ground.
Aaron didn’t loosen his arms for a while even after he subdued him.
“Kihehehe… … .”
Then the horse, exhausted from enduring and enduring, trembled with its front legs and wept bitterly.
Only then did Aaron let go of the bastard’s head.
“Not nice.”
Aaron spoke kindly, making eye contact with the words as if nothing had happened.
The horse trembled all over as if it had goose bumps and averted his eyes with a frightened expression.
“… … What did I just see?”
“That’s what I want to ask you.”
Gardi and the baron looked at Aaron with their mouths slightly open.
Aaron lost his mother when he was young and was taken to a mine and worked as a slave.
He would have been pickaxing without learning anything, but to handle such ferocious words without blinking an eye. I couldn’t even believe it when I saw it.
Feeling the baron and Gardi’s gaze, Aaron gently stroked the horse’s mane.
“My mother taught me that mere creatures have feelings. So I said a few warm words to him. He acted wildly because he was scared, but he seems to be a good person at heart.”
“… … I don’t think so.”
Morrison, who was staring at Aaron with a tired face, lowered his gaze and murmured.
Yellow urine flowed between the horse’s crotches.
