Capítulo 592: Servant - 592
Skybelle nodded. "I agree."
As she spoke, she walked past everyone and entered the house.
"I've had a long journey. I need some rest before anything else."
Everyone nodded as Skybelle retreated inside.
Later that day, they held a minor celebration. It could have been bigger, but at Skybelle's request it was not.
Time passed as always in the Sky house.
After a month of staying, Skybelle left. She headed to the Imperial capital, where she would continue her training to become a Sword Master.
Even for the greatest genius, it was an incredibly difficult process. At the Imperial capital, she would receive assistance from many beings, including other Sword Masters.
When Skybelle left, everyone was sad, but as always, time moved on.
Finally, at the age of 6, Skymender was forced to make a "friend". His Father and Mother had brought someone to meet him, a 7 year old girl from the Mel family, a noble family that had achieved the rank of Duke.
Her name was Melly, a shy girl that had trouble making friends. Standing in the yard alone, he looked down at her sitting on the ground with a mixed expression.
Why did his family treat him like he was an outcast because he preferred to be alone or with family.
Just because he didn't have any friends didn't mean he was incapable of making them. It was a choice, but nobody ever seemed to believe him.
So here he was, with some poor girl who had been forced here by her family.
Fine. If they think I am incapable of making friends, I'll show them.
"H-Hi." Skymender said.
…
He mentally slapped himself before paying attention to the girl again. She was tweedling with her thumbs, clearly not in the right state of mind to notice his stumbling words.
Skymender took a deep breath and spoke again, this time louder.
"My name is Skymender. What is yours?"
She clearly hesitated for a moment before speaking. "M-my name i-is Melly."
Skymender held out his hand to her sitting on the ground. "Would you like to become my servant?"
—-------------------------
A few hours later, a carriage came to pick up Melly and Skymender. One had Duke Mel, and another had Baron Sky.
They had just finished with their meeting. Both of them hoped for Melly and Skymender to become friends. Baron Sky was less worried for Skymender, knowing he was just lazy, but Duke Mel was clearly more worried.
They stepped out of their carriages at the same time and glanced at each other, nodding.
In front of them was tall grass and trees, so they shouted out loud.
"Melly!"
"Skymender!"
After a minute or so, they heard rustling.
Two figures came through the tall grass, one walking arrogantly in front and another with a smile behind.
Duke Mel smiled. Seeing Melly smiling was enough for him to be satisfied.
"How was it?" He asked.
"It went well. Good idea Father and Duke Mel." Skymender said.
The Duke nodded, but he had been talking to Melly. Looking at her, she didn't speak and continued standing behind Skymender.
Duke Mel was confused.
Baron Sky spoke. "It's time to go, Skymender."
Skymender nodded and walked towards him.
Duke Mel spoke. "Let's go Melly."
Melly nodded before walking over. As Skymender stepped into the carriage, she waved.
"Bye Lord Skymender."
Skymender waved back.
Baron Sky abruptly paused, as did Duke Mel.
They both looked at each other, their minds somewhat blank.
Duke Mel looked at Melly, who was clearly very happy, before looking at Baron Sky again.
Baron Sky had regained his mind and was giving Skymender a death glare.
Duke Mel hesitated for a moment before speaking. "We'll have to talk about… this later."
Baron Sky solemnly nodded.
Although he was considered higher ranked than a normal Baron, a Duke's daughter calling a Baron's son, "Lord" was ridiculous.
Neither knew how to react at this moment, so they postponed it until a later date.
Meanwhile, they would have time to talk to their children.
Well, for Baron Sky, talk was a bit inaccurate.
"WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO!" He yelled at Skymender.
Skymender put a finger in his ear and twisted it. "What's the big deal? I didn't know what to do either. You threw me out in a field with a random girl and left for hours."
Baron Sky was so angry that he could hardly formulate words. "You didn't… do anything inappropriate, did you?"
Skymender looked at Baron Sky with disgust. "What do you think of me?"
Baron Sky sighed in relief. At least it wasn't the worst case. Indeed, his son was actually a good person.
"I would never lay hands on such an innocent servant."
Baron Sky jumped at skymender and smacked him on his head multiple times.
"SHE'S NOT A SERVANT, SHE'S THE DAUGHTER OF A DUKE YOU FOOL!"
The rest of the ride back was silent. Skymender grabbed his head, silently sniffling.
You just wait until Eldest Sister hears about this.
Baron Sky did not speak a word either, clearly still extremely upset and conflicted about the matter.
In this world, as a noble, having servants was not only not unusual, but expected and even natural.
However, even a Duke having another person of noble birth as a servant would be seen as ridiculous and even disrespectful.
Yet even this paled in comparison to the complete disrespect of the hierarchy of the Kingdom and Empire that Skymender had just committed.
He deserved to die for his crime.
As soon as they returned, Skymender was placed on strict room arrest.
At first, Skymender napped all day without a care, but after a week, it was starting to get to him.
His food was delivered without any human contact at all, and he had not talked to anyone. Even his Mother and Father had not spoken to him.
After 2 weeks of imprisonment, he finally heard his door open. With excitement, he got up.
Peering outside, he saw his sister with an awkward expression.
"You sure know how to push the limits."
