Chapter 31
Former Crimson Knight and the Guard Captain of Ordo, Eric.
Eric, born to commoner parents, was dissatisfied with his life.
While his family struggled to survive day by day, the nobles lived in luxury, eating whatever they pleased, and wasting food without a second thought.
If Eric ever dared to do something like that, his father would beat him to death.
It wasn’t just about food. Everything—housing, clothing, leisure—was far more abundant for the nobles compared to the commoners.
It was unfair.
But Eric couldn’t voice such thoughts openly, as it wouldn’t be surprising if he lost his head for saying them. So, he kept his frustrations to himself and one day asked his father a question.
“Father, how can I gain honor and wealth?”
“Honor and wealth? Well, there’s no place better than the Crimson Knights for that! It’s where the strongest gather in Grasis Kingdom, so honor is guaranteed, and they must pay handsomely to keep such strong people, don’t you think?”
