Arrogant Slave - Ch. 13 - A Knight's Job

[drakenation]

...wait a second. If he's a knight, how is he still a commoner? Knights are usually low nobility.

Commoner is just his name. Good ol' John Commoner.

Except that medieval knights were EXPENSIVE, trained from childhood and well equiped. Dying for their lord/country is pessimistic way of looking at it but as a certain nutjob general said: you don't win a war dying for your country, you win it by making the other dumb bastard die for his.

Knights - as in, professional soldiers coming from the landed lower nobility, who owned their own armour (often inherited) and horse, and usually came at their lord's call at the head of their own lance, - were expensive.
Retainers, squires, housecarls and samesuch - very much less so (although of course they were still prized servants, and lords avoided wasting their lives, if only because such a reputation could make recruitment of replacements unnecessarily complex).

circumstance of birth tend to follow you around, as it is now he is just noble trash that's basically a commoner. His son might be accepted into the aristocracy, but only generations of family service gets such respect.

Author do you not see the opportunity in front of you? You have emotionally beat down your fans to the point that you could write literally anything not involving the MCs death and fans would be happy......just give us this

In the first chapter someone said the tl mildly mistranslated, she calls him “mr commoner“ in the raws

 

[DlolFace]

I knew it's too good to be true for hamita to make a normal manga

 

[Umbrum]

Well the kid is just as right about it as the slave's pride is valid, which just means it'd hypocritical of her to believe that what the kid said is wrong.
Which could be a pretty interesting attribute for the slave and material for character development or an annoying contradiction.

classic hamita

 

[deeznuts121]

A knight is bequeathed privileges and a fief by the lord of the land in exchange for his service defending the lord with his life. The little girl is correct that's what the knight swore an oath to do.

I suspect it's a power play by the noble's daughter, who is hanging around him in rather suspicious circumstances. I would not be surprised if she is being sent there to court him on the down low. Note how he said "the clergy is acting suspicious" Big clue, it means that the cardinal want's that lord's lands. I would not be surprised if the cardinal or the bishop makes a move, and in a few chapters the Bishop's daughter shows up.

If i was in that situation back then, and the bishops daughter shows up, and she is 4.5 or above, i would go with the bishops daughter.

That final panel was chilling. I'm all for it.

 

[Shamz]

The lord's knight job is to die for the lord? Then the commoner's slave job is to eliminate the commoner's lord.

 

[MewOne]

Uh oh

 

[anifd]

she cares more about the slave than the soldier

 

[Dexslayer]

Right...
I forgot this was written by Hamita

Nice boat ending lets go!
