Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

It took Manfeld a while to regain his consciousness .

His vision blurred, and he felt a searing pain through his cheeks . It was pretty hard for him to open his eyes .

Damn it . That brute had broken the unwritten rule that nobles should not hit each other in the face .

He struggled to sit up, slowly shuffled toward the two frightened ladies and ungagged them . "Don't be afraid . I'll release you just in a moment . "

The two ladies were too scared to speak, so they simply nodded .

Manfeld untied them after taking a long rest and said, "There you go . You're free now . Don't get caught by that person again . . . "

Manfeld believed that Mick Kinley would not have such a chance . Once everyone got on the ship, he would be under the watch of all the refugees . He did not think Mick would risk himself with so many people around him .

The women set free avoided him gingerly and immediately left the room at a trot . Their footsteps finally died away .

They did not say anything to Manfeld, not even a "thank you" .

Manfeld leaned against the wall and heaved a deep sigh . Somehow, he thought of what White had told him .

"Young man, don't always try to be nice, especially nowadays . . . Otherwise, people will take advange of you . "

He shook his head and put these thoughts behind .





He was used to that .

He only hoped that he could return to his cabin before the ship set off so that at least, he could still have a bed .

Suddenly, Manfeld heard patterings of footsteps again, as the floor beneath him started to squeak .

What the hell? He wished it was not Mick Kinley coming back again .

The footsteps stopped abruptly at the door, and he saw a sliver of a woman looking out at him from behind the door .

Momentarily stunned, Manfeld recognized that the woman was one of the ladies he had helped set free .

After the door was pushed open, Manfeld found both two ladies were there . The one behind was carrying an extremely heavy wooden bucket that almost cost all her strength .

She placed the bucket in front of Manfeld . At that moment, Manfeld noticed that the bucket was full of water .

"You . . . "

One of the ladies took out a handkerchief and dipped it into the water before she came up to wipe the blood off Manfeld's face . The other kept apologizing, "S-sorry, it was all our fault . We were too scared to speak, because, because you said . . . you're also a noble . "

Manfeld burst into a laugh .

Even though he was so sore, he could not help it .

"Er, what's the matter?"





"Didn't I tell you?" Manfeld interrupted the lady . "The moment you boarded this ship, nobles and slaves became equal, because the King of Graycastle not only abolished slavery but also took away nobles' power . In other words, we're the same . "

Manfeld actually knew that there was no knight in Graycastle, as merchants from all parts of the world had spread the news throughout the Kingdom of Wolfheart . Most nobles believed that King Roland's behavior was outrageous, but he was very interested in Wimbledon .

After his family's fortunes declined, Manfeld had been always thinking about one particular question, that was, what was a knight?

He had never thought about this question when his father had been still alive, as he had believed that he would eventually inherit his father's title . However, when his family gradually lost their domains to other nobles, Manfeld found that things slowly get out of his control . The new lord did not acklowledge him, and those who were not qualified to manage the land became the ruler . He literally had nothing but a prominent surname .

According to the ancient books he had read, his ancestors who had established on this land had selected the most outstanding person as their king . The king then granted titles to those possessed of exceptional gallantry and valor and asked them to help him protect the land and his subjects . This was the origin of the nobility . A knight, as the noble of the lowest rank, should have compassion and sympathy for civilians . They should be men of honor and help their territories prosper .

Because knight possessed qualities that normal people did not, they were noble .

This was also what kind of person Manfeld wanted to be .

However, he did not see any difference between a knight and civilian after a knight lost his land . What was nobility then? A spirit or a deed?

Lords were replaced constantly as the fierce competition between nobles continued . A limp could be a knight, and a fool could be a knight as well, as long as they had land in their hands . This reality made Manfeld start to question the true nature of knightage .

Although misfortune had weighed upon him, Manfeld had never abandoned his dream .

He had been thinking about traveling to Graycastle for a long time, but he could not afford the trip . Nevertheless, the evacuation of local towns and cities in the Kingdom of Wolfheart provided him with a good opportunity to visit Graycastle .

Manfeld wanted to know whether he could still be a true knight in a country without a noble .

After hearing that "we're the same", the two women were profoundly relieved . "Really?"





"All the nobles have received the news . They view Wimbledon as the demon from hell," Manfeld said as he summoned a bitter smile . "But now, we probably have to seek this horrible demon for help . "

The woman who was wiping Manfeld's face asked after a moment of silence, "Why did you help us? Aren't you worried that the noble . . . "

"He won't kill me because I already reminded him, "Manfeld replied while shaking his head . "I don't know what the second screening will look like, but I've heard that a witch will be there to detect lies . Even if he doesn't think abusing you is a crime, he knows he can't kill a noble . "

Manfeld took a breath and then went on, "By the way, I'm Manfeld Castein . What about you?"

This was the fourth time he had reported his name today .

"I'm Thylane," one of the ladies said in a low voice . "She's Momo . " Then she paused for a second and said resolutely, "That noble was right . We were sold to — "

"I told you that everything changed the moment you got on this ship . Please don't say that again," Manfeld said while waving his hand . "Like my coachman said, whatever life you used to live, the new life ahead of us will be completely different . I decided to leave the Kingdom of Wolfheart for a foreign country because of the potential change . Aren't you the same?"

There was a long whistle .

It was deep and low .

The ship was about to set off .

"Let's go back . I don't want anyone to take my bed," Manfeld said as he rose with some difficulties . He still felt sore, but he managed to walk . "I don't want to sleep in this storage room all the way there . "

The two ladies exchanged looks . After a moment of hesitation, Thylane produced a white pill from her pocket and handed it to Manfeld .

"This is . . . "

"A painkiller," Thylane said . "If you can't bear the pain, lick it or take a small piece of it . But make sure that you don't take too much, as it only delays the pain . It can't stop it . "

Manfeld took the pill in confusion . What an amazing pill this was? It could only delay instead of stopping pain?

Thylane and Momo did not give further explanation . They carried the bucket and withdrew from the storage room

This time, the two ladies stopped at the doorstep and swept a low bow at Manfeld . "Thank you, Mr . Castein . "

Manfeld heaved a deep sigh .

It seemed that not everyone took advantage of others .

This was enough for him .

He studied the pill in his hand for quite a while before he licked it .

It was sweet .

Perhaps, the pill was made of flour, mixed with a little bit of honey .

Manfeld gathered that they had probably stolen the pill from the noble who had bought them .

Just at that moment, something incredible happened .

In an instant, his pain was gone as if he had never been beaten before .
