Chapter 311
If this were the modern world, where people were theoretically considered equal, the term "noble" would likely be reserved for those who truly embodied selflessness.
I’m not talking about wealth, intelligence, or physical prowess.
No—
I mean the kind of people who dedicate their lives to others.
Volunteers, firefighters—
Or those who quietly commit acts of kindness without expecting anything in return.
In a society without legal class distinctions, the word "noble" would bring to mind those kinds of people.
But in a world where social status is law—
That’s not how it works.
In this world, "noble" refers to the ruling class.
They are born into wealth and privilege, raised to be important, and die as important people—unless, of course, those beneath them rise up and drag them down.
The same goes for royalty and the imperial family.
