8 The monster Sebastian, born of the gossip age.

This Millard realm is a poor territory competing for one or two within the Archive Empire. Compared to others, the territory itself is nearly twice as large and vast, but the land is lean, the yield is low, and when the climate changes, the rye cannot be taken, and it starves immediately.

Sebastian was born into a minister's house that served the Millards for generations ruling the territory of Asthma (Ah) Gu to such poverty.

Even at an early age, he was certainly poor, but nevertheless, his predecessors did not cut themselves for their inhabitants, never luxuriously. It is handed down to my son's current lord. That's what I believed.

But from the barons of the South, the lord welcomed his wife, and the people's lives changed dramatically. More precisely, as soon as our predecessor died, the female fox revealed herself.

We approach our Lord, pin our taxes, and lead a life of luxury. Then it was hell.

If they spit out only a small amount of surplus, they'll have to starve. Already, in villages other than Mirage, the starving and the dead are also heard. Yet the Lord does not try to move.

Thomas, the eldest son who was a brilliant man, was eliminated from the next term because his magic power was lower than usual, and he fell into the ranks of local city officials.

My second son, Cliff Boy, does have magical powers and a strong magical talent. But to be a lord, decisively, lacks the feeling of caring for others. It's also due to that woman's education, and I feel sorry for her, but I don't dream of making her the Lord.

In contrast, Lady Aqua, on the contrary, is smarter and more righteous than Lady Thomas. That unbending temperament is reminiscent of the blood muscles of the previous emperor.

But why not? Men are the only criterion for the inheritance of imperial governors. If the child of the nobleman is only a woman, it is customary to adopt a male nobleman from another territory. And Miss Aqua, the second daughter. The eldest daughter has a Lady Linda, and the ranking of housekeeper inheritance is even lower. Miss Linda believes blindly in the deeds of the female fox. Assuming that Cliff Boy is stripped of his inheritance for any reason, Miss Linda's son-in-law's adopted son will inherit this Millard family. And it is visible to Miss Linda's son-in-law's adopted son that that female fox intervenes. First of all, it's inconceivable that the aristocracy chosen by that woman will properly run the territory.

This Millard Territory is conservative for better or worse.

The other celebrities support Cliff Boy just because he must be a man and have a magical talent. Even if Cliff knew she was the worst puppet ever.

When Sebastian was about to give up, a glimmer of light plunges into this Millard family with nothing but despair.

That's Master Gray Millard. A child born to Viscount Maguire. And the Viscount Maguire family, who was lovingly raised by Viscount Maguire's mother, but had recorded the lowest values in the magic tests performed by the church, and had their heads in a housekeeper's feud, was fortunate enough to be forced to pull Master Gray away from her mother and become this Millard son.

Lady Gray was abused by that woman, Cliff boy, and Miss Linda, and she was always, always crying. That changed since Master Gray's first run away from home.

Since then, Master Gray has changed. The harassment of the woman ceases to be a thing, and she reaches out to the servants.

The servants initially stayed away from me for fear of harassment of those women and Cliff boys due to their involvement with Master Gray. Especially the servants in this mansion, many of whom are poor in their homes and whose lives are made possible by their sendings. That's why she couldn't have taken a look at me.

However, from the abuse of that woman and Miss Linda, Gray helped her to treat her to a delicious dish, which gradually changed. Now all servants of this mansion, including Sebastian, trust Master Gray. In particular, the dam can no longer be considered a follower of Master Gray.

Obviously, humanity is extraordinary among the children of this Millard family. But humanity alone cannot change this rotten Millard territory. At least you need more talent than your predecessor. Therefore, Sebastian continued to observe Master Gray in order to see through its essence.

Turns out to be surprising.

One is that Master Gray's physical abilities outweigh our adults by far. Lift a bucket full of water gently with one arm. Obviously, he's not an eight-year-old.

Two, to my surprise, Master Gray can use magic. Though hidden, several Mirage hunters have witnessed wild birds and wild rabbits manipulating, capturing, and draining blood from the wind. In doing so, Master Gray manipulated the wind without any chanting, as if it were part of his body. A first-rate demon mentor level held by the court, such as unchanging wind manipulation. On the boulder. I suppose that's a mistake or the hunters are just exaggerating to listen to it, but I'm pretty sure they still have a lot of magic talent.

The third is rumours of Straheim's interaction with merchants at Sazanami Pavilion. The owner and I have known each other since childhood and often drink. According to the information brought by him, Master Gray had made millions of deals with Straheim merchants.

And when I heard from Master Grey earlier about the agrarian reform of the territory, Sebastian realized that he had made a big mistake himself.

- He says he is a monster born in this era of no hope, not even comparable with the previous Lord.

The only person who knows more about Master Gray is Sebastian in this Millard territory. Still, his chances of becoming the head of this Millard family are unlimited.

Of course there will be obstruction of that woman, and persuasion of the other famous men. Furthermore, if the maternal Viscount Maguire family learns of Master Gray's talent, they should first plot to recall him. On the contrary, almost zero is not an exaggeration (basket). The only way to hang on to it is to save the collapsing Millard people.

(I just have to do it)

Sebastian excites and moves the feelings that are already about to break.
