"I wish Sam would be the next lord."
The murmur came from the mouth of one of the residents.
"Yes, I guess so. If only we could have a kind man like Sam as our lord, we wouldn't have any trouble at all.
The surrounding residents nodded their heads in agreement.
Sam's reaction from the people was positive.
He used to be a timid child, a normal child who sometimes came to the town to play with the children.
He even felt sorry for his father who treated him unfairly because of his lack of talent with the sword.
The people were surprised to see how much Sam had changed in the past year, but accepted him favorably.
Thanks to him, monsters are less dangerous and meat is served.
How could they not like him?
Sam found time to help in the fields, to help those in need, and to take care of the children in the orphanage.
Seeing him like this, the people naturally hoped that he would be the next lord.
In reality, however, it is not Sam, but his half-brother Manion who is said to be the next lord.
"Lord Manion seems to be a good swordsman, but he is not as gentle ...... as Lord Sam."
An old man muttered with a sigh.
Those around him immediately recognized the note of disappointment in the old man's voice.
"That's just a bratty little brat with a temper tantrum. He's nothing like Sam."
"Shh. You don't know who's listening and where.
I don't care if they hear. Even the baron's servants love Sam more than Mannion. They feel the same way we do.
"Of course, you're right, but I don't think you should say it too loudly.
My store had all its windows smashed because of that kid's tantrum!
The lord paid for it.
I even got a few words from the Mistress afterwards!"
Knowing the indignation of the man who sniffed, they did not pay any more attention to him.
He is right, there is not a single person in this town who would bother to report Mannion even if someone hears him talking bad about him.
Mannion's reputation was that bad.
Mannion was originally raised by his mother to be overly praised and loved.
He was proud of being the next lord and of being the chosen one because of his superior talent with the sword.
He was not a child.
In fact, Manion's words and actions were beyond a child's reach.
His behavior began with insolence toward the servants and sometimes even violence.
His tantrums are not easily appeased.
Even the slightest attempt to criticize him would bring his mother, who also has a temper tantrum, flying into the room, which is also impossible.
In the beginning, there were children who obeyed Manion, but they have disappeared in the past year.
All the kids, no matter how bad they were, could not keep up with Manion's selfishness and swearing, and now they even dislike him.
The same is true for the people.
When Mannion appears in town, it is quiet as water.
Everyone is afraid of what he might do to them if they attract his attention.
If only Mannion's father had been a decent man.
He might have scolded his son for the violence he was inflicting on his people.
But Baron Carius Reinbach was satisfied with his son's talent with the sword and did not care about anything else.
In a way, it was the same as neglecting him.
Instead, his mother was so overprotective that Manion's behavior did not change.
"Mistress Yolanda used to be a commoner, too. I wonder why she is like that when she used to be a maid like Sam's mother, Melanie.
"Yolanda-sama, you know, she was always a selfish person. Melanie was kind, though."
"I regret that Melanie passed away so early. If she had lived, perhaps Sam would have been treated a little better."
"That's not true. Melanie would have been treated as badly as Sam."
"When you think about it, I suppose that both Sam and Manion are like their mother, for better or worse."
Sam's mother, Melanie, was gone early, but her reputation was still good.
She was a maid-turned-baroness and a friend of the people without being pompous.
It is believed that Baron Carius might have been better off when she was alive than he is now.
Her arrogance increased when Melanie passed away and Yolanda, who had always been selfish and impetuous, took her place.
Karius, whether he knew it or not, did not do anything to stop Yolanda's attitude.
Thanks to this, the Barons of Reinbach, except for Sam, are now completely unpopular.
If they had been ruling badly, the people would have fled by now.
"I hope Sam will be rewarded one day..."
The people nodded in agreement.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
