"I wish Sam would be the next lord."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　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.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He used to be a timid child, a normal child who sometimes came to the town to play with the children.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　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."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Shh. You don't know who's listening and where.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

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.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

My store had all its windows smashed because of that kid's tantrum!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The lord paid for it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I even got a few words from the Mistress afterwards!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Knowing the indignation of the man who sniffed, they did not pay any more attention to him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　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.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Mannion's reputation was that bad.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Mannion was originally raised by his mother to be overly praised and loved.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He was proud of being the next lord and of being the chosen one because of his superior talent with the sword.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He was not a child.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In fact, Manion's words and actions were beyond a child's reach.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　His behavior began with insolence toward the servants and sometimes even violence.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　His tantrums are not easily appeased.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　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.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In the beginning, there were children who obeyed Manion, but they have disappeared in the past year.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　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.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The same is true for the people.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When Mannion appears in town, it is quiet as water.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Everyone is afraid of what he might do to them if they attract his attention.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If only Mannion's father had been a decent man.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He might have scolded his son for the violence he was inflicting on his people.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But Baron Carius Reinbach was satisfied with his son's talent with the sword and did not care about anything else.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In a way, it was the same as neglecting him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　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.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yolanda-sama, you know, she was always a selfish person. Melanie was kind, though."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I regret that Melanie passed away so early. If she had lived, perhaps Sam would have been treated a little better."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"That's not true. Melanie would have been treated as badly as Sam."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"When you think about it, I suppose that both Sam and Manion are like their mother, for better or worse."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Sam's mother, Melanie, was gone early, but her reputation was still good.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She was a maid-turned-baroness and a friend of the people without being pompous.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is believed that Baron Carius might have been better off when she was alive than he is now.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Her arrogance increased when Melanie passed away and Yolanda, who had always been selfish and impetuous, took her place.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Karius, whether he knew it or not, did not do anything to stop Yolanda's attitude.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Thanks to this, the Barons of Reinbach, except for Sam, are now completely unpopular.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If they had been ruling badly, the people would have fled by now.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I hope Sam will be rewarded one day..."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The people nodded in agreement.
