It feels kind of goofy to have a series talk about "it's not healing magic! It's medicine!!" and then have the MC wave a staff and heal someone in a blast of light.
No, he does show up previously, but only enough for the existence of a butler to be known, he's the aide that shows MC to the mother's room (and is TL'd as "ludac" in that chap, not "rudac") in chap 3. So we don't get any hints as to motive/etc, but we do at least see that he exists as an aide prior to his reveal here. I imagine in the LN or WN or whatever this is adapted from, he has a slightly larger speaking role, but here it seems like he's intentionally kept out of panel / in the background to prevent you from thinking too much about him.

Well I did say I skimmed it, meaning I didn't pay enough attention to the details, but damn, they did a good job of making him into such a background character that I wouldn't notice him.It feels kind of goofy to have a series talk about "it's not healing magic!

So, started on this one. Not much to catch up on.
The first page promised, "A tale of a never before seen cheat adventure begins!" Sure, it's a never before seen story much like the sequence of a deck of cards. But it's still a deck of cards where all 52 cards are known. There's not much originality to it, and the writing is lazy enough to reflect that.
Verdict: Maybe when I'm bored. Which, to be fair, I usually am if I go to this site.

It certainly doesn't make sense for a butler, but fantasy story authors take short cuts in finding an excuse to make an enemy out of the butler. A butler is positioned close enough to the family to do it.
But the butler for a prominent and respectful ducal family that doesn't mistreat its servants wouldn't do such a thing. As the head of household staff, he has it very good. Everyone in town, especially merchants, would kowtow to him and ingratiate themselves with his family members. His family would find it very profitable to accept jobs or tasks from the city as well since the butler basically determines how much and to which vendors the household money is spent. He also plans events for the ducal family which is a huge thing in itself. He has a lot of power and authority although it is obviously a different power than the political power a duke or duchess possesses.
