-The accommodation I use at the academy is a two-story mansion.

On the first floor alone, there are five rooms, one kitchen, three bathrooms, and two bathrooms.

And when you go up the stairs located in the living room in the middle of the mansion, the second floor is revealed with two rooms, one toilet, one bathroom, and an attic.

Of those two floors, I gladly gave up the second floor.

For an aristocrat, it is impossible to have someone over your head.

At least, only those with a title higher than myself, a title higher than that of a marquis if I can’t, can be on my head.

That’s why, when I said that I was giving away the second floor, Alice seemed a little surprised.

Aristocrats are beings united by pride.

That’s why only those you can really trust can be treated like that.

For example, the bodyguards who protect him all year round.

Those who ambush overhead, preparing for any possible threat.

Except for such people, it is impossible for a noble to have anyone over his head.

If Mahol had known this, he would not have been so frankly happy.

‘I’ll be your shield.’

The biggest reason I gave them the 2nd floor is.

It is to become a fence for those who are still lacking in strength.

Commoners using the first floor and nobles using the first floor have different meanings and weights.

If a commoner uses the 1st floor, it does not have much meaning except for the 2nd floor.

Even though I can see my notice, it’s a place where I can come in a little more comfortably.

But from the moment I use the first floor, this place becomes my sanctuary.

No one can enter without my permission.

And since they can’t go to the second floor without crossing me, I can be their shield.

“thank you. How should I repay this favor… .”

He hesitated and tapped his forehead as he approached.

“Don’t forget that heart. Because I owe you.”

“Yes.”

“you… not.”

Were you shocked by the way I looked?

He began to show respect, which he hadn’t done at first.

In a way, it was also showing respect for me, so I didn’t bother touching it.

And it was better to show respect to me in advance, in order to work under me in the future.

“Oh, and… This person will take care of your brother from now on.”

“hello.”

“Oh, hello.”

Mahol widened his eyes at the therapist I brought.

He knew very well that he could never hire a healer as a commoner.

It costs tens of gold to hire a healer once.

So Mahol, who can’t earn money and has no property, wants to hire a therapist to treat Rayna, but he can’t.

It was too expensive, and even if they were hired, there were many therapists who despised commoners, so it was questionable whether they would provide proper treatment.

That’s why I’m surprised that I brought a therapist with me.

It’s a healer with a price that even nobles can’t afford to hire.

“… .”

Mahol looked at me with his mouth wide open.

I could see the thoughts in those eyes.

It is the gaze that asks what he is doing to this extent.

I shrugged and said.

“This is all light. You have to pay it back properly later.”

It’s not a strange word even if you look at it as a hogu. But I was sincere.

When Mahol gets to a certain level, I will play him like crazy.

I will pay my full price, and I will pamper him and pamper him like oil from dried fish.

So it was not a waste to spend a few bucks on it.

On the contrary, he was happy to be able to use a talented person who would not be able to hire even for a million dollars in the future, with this amount of money.

I already thought of countless things to do with him.

But I decided to put that aside for a while.

When I started looking at myself a little more, a little more.

If I’m talking about it, even if it’s food or sh*t, you have to be patient until you get the trust you can believe in.

There is nothing more stupid than ruining a great world because of trivial greed.

Above all, I wasn’t losing money.

All the money I spend right now is extorted from the vice-principal.

In a way, I was taking the place of the compensation that the sympathetic principal had to do.

“what are you doing. without guiding my brother. I paid a lot of money to hire you, are you going to leave it like this?”

“Ahhh. Hey, come this way!”

The therapist smiled and followed Mahol.

I looked behind the therapist, who was wearing something like a white uniform.

Among the therapists, he was the one who did not ignore the common people and hired them after searching for a therapist who treats anyone wholeheartedly.

He is a person who works as much as he gives, so there is no worry that he will not be treated as a commoner.

Most of all, it’s because I ordered it, but unless you’re afraid of the Millennium Count family, there’s no way you can do that.

“Until Reina recovers, she should live in the dorm. Are there many rooms? Give me the good ones out of them.”

“Yes.”

After a while, Mahol came down from the second floor.

It seemed that he had been watching the therapist treat Reina, perhaps because he was anxious.

It wasn’t that I didn’t understand that feeling, so I greeted him with a smile.

“thank you. Thank you very much.”

Is it because he saw his younger brother being treated with his own eyes?

His eyes were red with tears.

How anxious were you during that time?

My sister is sick, but I can’t even give her medicine, and even if I want to move, the principal won’t allow it.

My younger brother was screaming as if he was going to die right away, but as an older brother, he must have heard all sorts of thoughts.

Knowing his thoughts, I handed him the money bag without saying anything.

He looked up at me as if he had come to his senses.

“What if I move my dorm? I don’t have a proper set of clothes. Can I become an older brother and not be able to buy my sister a pair of clothes? Buy some clothes with this. Buy me something delicious.”

“… thank you.”

He was about to burst into tears, so I patted him on the shoulder and moved away.

***

Mahol was deeply troubled as he saw his younger brother, who looked more comfortable than usual after being treated by a therapist.

“brother?”

“… .”

“brother!”

“Uh, huh?”

“What are you thinking about?”

“uh… no. nothing.”

“It is nothing. What.”

She didn’t see her for a day or two, she lived with Mahol for the rest of her life.

It was not unreasonable to know what he was worried about, seeing him standing still with a serious expression on his face, always trying to smile in front of him.

“Well… .”

“Does that keep making me angry?”

“uh… Mmm. that is… .”

Mahol hesitated for a moment.

Can I tell my brother about this?

Maybe my brother doesn’t like it.

In the midst of all kinds of thoughts, Mahol started to speak out what he was worried about.

“That’s right, we’ve received a lot of grace… .”

“yes.”

“So I’ve been thinking about how I can repay the favor.”

“… .”

“But no matter how much I think about it, I can’t come up with an answer. He has more money than me, and there are many things he can do alone. There was nothing I could give him… .”

“… therefore.”

“… .”

“So what do you want to do?”

Mahol wiggled his fingers while holding Reina’s hand.

“I want to work for him if I can.”

“… .”

“That was the only thing I could do. to work for him. Even if I do it my whole life, it won’t be enough, but I still want to do it.”

Reina raised her upper body. Mahol hurriedly supported her.

“How can that go your way?”

“… ?”

Mahol tilted his head. She said with a frustrated face.

“Do you think you can say that you want to do it? I don’t think so. next to him… Even if you look at her sister, she is different from us.”

“… .”

“A person of such ability would have been crushed by the low tide. Would you like to use your brother? Shouldn’t you rather go ahead and ask me to write for you when you have time to say this to me? What if I say I don’t need him?”

“… !”

Mahol looked at Reina with a shocked face.

She was right.

Mahol had forgotten that Raymond was so nice to him that he might not hire him.

I just thought that if my younger brother allowed it, I would have to work for him.

“I thought my brother had already asked him… Are you going to keep doing that?”

“… I’ll go out for a while.”

“yes.”

Mahol jumped up and left the room.

Reina looked at him with a soft smile.

***

Using the moon as light, Mahol came to me as I wielded a sword with Elise by my side.

“for a bit… Can I talk to you?”

“Well?”

At that, I lowered the sword I was holding and handed it to Ellis, then picked up the towel she gave me and wiped my sweat.

“Are you in a hurry?”

“Yes.”

“Then what?”

He beckoned Alice to retreat. Then I sat down on a chair at the end of the clearing and waited for him to speak.

After hesitating to speak for a moment, he clenched his fists as if he had made up his mind.

“Please accept me.”

“Well… ?”

“Can’t you?”

“No, not that. What do I say if you ask me to accept it? What exactly do you want to receive?”

“ah… .”

Having said that, I expected what he was about to say.

saying to accept yourself.

That meant that he wanted to come and work under me soon.

And it was also what I wanted to hear from him.

I understood, but I pretended not to know because I wanted to hear it one more time.

Then he broke into a sweat and explained to me to understand.

“… Please use me!”

“okay.”

“… Yes?”

“I got it.”

I nodded my head thinking that I would burst into tears if I teased him any longer.

Then his face brightened.

I couldn’t expect that I would accept it, so I was in tears.

I called out to Alice and told him that.

“I’ll accept it. But I have no intention of making you do anything right now. It’s only after you return to your family that you start working under me in earnest. Understand?”

“Yes!”

Mahol answered with a clear attitude.

He smiled at him and said to Alice.

“Can you deliver the letter to the butler?”

“Yes.”

“Then just tell him I’m trying to raise a butler. If you say so, it will take care of itself.”

“Yes.”

“And… .”

I scanned Mahol’s body.

A very fragile and weak body.

In the original story, Mahol said that he has a strong physique and has enough stamina even if he doesn’t sleep for a month.

So there was something I didn’t recognize when I first saw him.

“You should do some exercise. I’m not trying to tell you anything. Still, I need to build up my stamina.”

Being a butler is a job that requires stamina.

It’s the same with Alice. To do my bidding, Elise worked out every day.

I usually exercise at night, or run around the empty lot with me like now to build up my stamina.

Well, now that I’ve got Mahol, I’m thinking of entrusting him with dangerous work.

Until then, Alice had to do the work herself.

“I will do my best!”

Mahol clenched his fists and his eyes lit up.
