Chapter 25-1

Chapter 25-1

Since the moment he was falsely accused and disgraced, Spooners life has been nothing short of a disaster.

The honor he had built up by rolling on the battlefield and losing one eye, arm, and leg had crumbled like a sandcastle.

As a result, dozens of medals became meaningless trinkets, and he didnt receive a single penny in retirement pay and pension that he should deserve.

All that remained for Spooner was the stigma of being a criminal who had been disgraced and a broken body.

After that, Spooners life was like a living hell.

With a criminal record and a severe disability, he had nothing he could do.

No one would give Spooner a job or believe in him.

No matter how much he claimed his innocence and appealed to his unfairness, he was only accused of being a dirty criminal.

He was a lifelong war hero and a great instructor who dedicated his life to the country, but

In fact

Spooner choked up as he spoke.

I tried to take my own life. But I couldnt bring myself to do it because I was so unjustly accused. Its embarrassing to say it myself, but Ive devoted my whole life to my country. I did my duty as a soldier faithfully even though I couldnt take care of my family and got divorced.

Ah

No one believed me. The evidence and witnesses were so perfect Even my old comrades turned their backs on me. But you, Your Majesty

A man Ive never seen before.

The king of a remote rural village, or rather a rural kingdom, where Ive never even been in my entire life.

Having gained trust and comfort from such a person, all his accumulated anxiety and worries burst out

I believe in Sergeant Spooner. And I also believe in your abilities as an instructor.

Your Majesty

Please do not refuse my request and stay by my side to train my soldiers.

Can I really do that?

I want my soldiers to become stronger and good men like, Sergeant Spooner.

Otto smiled.

I hope they become stronger so they can survive on the battlefield and kill even one more enemy. And for that, Sergeant Spooners experience and teaching abilities are crucial.

Ill do it.

Spooner accepted Ottos proposal.Thê source of this content n/o/v/(el)bi((n))

If you need the abilities of a retired soldier with this worthless body, I will be loyal.

Thank you very much.

Loyalty!

Spooner saluted Otto.

F-f**king hell no!!!

Otto fled without hiring Olive.

He knew too well that if he kept Olive by his side, he would suffer from her constant nagging and violent outbursts.

But Suddenly, Olive grabbed Otto by the back.

You are you a king of this small country?

W-well, yes

I came after seeing the job posting.

Oh?

That youre hiring for a new maid from mercenary guild.

Ah I-Im not sure about that

From today, Ill be working here.

Yes?!

Youre not going to refuse to hire me, are you?

Olive glared at Otto.

Shiver!

Her expression was so terrifying that Otto couldnt help but feel scared.

I need this job, king of a small country.

Haha B-but we already

If you dont want me, just say so. I wont force you.

Although she said that, Olives hand size of pot suddenly turned into a rock-like fist.

R-Refuse and youll die!

Otto instinctively realized that this was not a matter of choice, but a matter of survival

Well then, I hire you. Haha

Good.

Olive put her fist down and grinned like a demon.

Then, from today, I will work as your maid.

Then, an alert window appeared before Ottos eyes.

[Notification: You have successfully hired Olive de Barbarian as your maid!]

Otto wanted to cry.

Why does today seem to be my lucky day and also not?
