@LoneWolf75 not only are you extremely rude for the way you worded your comment, you completely missed my point.
It seriously ticks me off when RECOGNITION is removed from the MC and given to an UNRELATED PARTY.
Point 1: Receiving recognition does NOT mean serving a noble.
The MC in case was already set in not listening to the noble or the butler.
Point 2: The unrelated party will have severe trouble and be accused of fraud down the line.
When truth comes to light, nobles will never claim that they were wrong, but they will claim that they were deceived and the unrelated party, in this case a good person who was friendly with the MC, will have serious problems.
Point 3: The unrelated party will be expected to do things miles above their actual capability.
As they expect him to be strong enough to deal with a dragon, they will request of him to do things that are extremely above his true capacity, which can seriously harm or even kill him solely for the fact that recognition that was not intended for him, was given to him due to a misunderstanding of that stupid butler.
I care for SHIT that if the MC would or would not serve the noble. Actually, I very much would be delighted for them to try to butter him up and hit their faces on a wall with the MC, receiving due recognition, proves that he does not have any intention to serve anyone and is more than strong and capable enough to keep his own freedom and not be bent by anyone.
