An Unwelcome Homecoming

“Fool! How dare you show your face here?!”

“I...”

In the lands of the House Argus, both shouts and fists flew through the manor house.

“I beg your forgiveness, Father... Please...”

“You’ve really stepped in it this time! An official match before the court, three against one, fighting some random worthless bumpkin, and you lost without landing a single blow—do I have that right? How could you screw up that badly?!”

“That is what happened, but he—”

“No excuses!!!”

“Gaaah...!” Lord Argus’s fists pounded Margus relentlessly.

“And even worse, that ‘uncut gem’ girl had already attached herself to your opponent, hadn’t she? What on earth possessed you to set yourself against the royal family?!”

“But that was the whole point! If I won, she would confer that honor onto me!”

“And instead you earned nothing but shame!”

Margus hung his head, unable to reply. Everything had been going so well since he’d left home. He’d been training hard, and had found worthy companions as well as a useful slave. It was supposed to be smooth sailing from here.

Until one single moment had ruined everything. “We thought... That guy was just supposed to be our errand boy and servant! We never imagined he could be that strong...”

“It was obvious! How could you be this oblivious?! The uncut gem may be just a girl, but she possesses our national treasure. Did you not stop to consider that at all?! How the hell did you manage to get this stupid? I should have just had you killed before you could leave home.”

Margus ground his teeth at his father’s harsh words, but the lecture continued before he had a chance to speak.

“The uncut gem and her Eye of Appraisal—under its guidance, even a random peasant could be taught to gain skills in just a few days. That power has traditionally been used within the royal order of chivalry or other facets of the kingdom’s military forces. But now it’s been used on this single man, a simple country bumpkin no less...This is a national disgrace. If you were dumb enough to accept the challenge, you had to put a stop to the whole thing then and there!”

Hearing those words, Margus finally understood. He knew why he had lost. Or he thought he did, at least—his mind was so warped that he fixated on his mistaken idea. “So that’s why he got so strong so fast.”

“As your disgrace brings shame upon the entire house, it cannot be allowed to stand. You must find a way to clear your name, or else...”

“You can’t be serious!”

“You brought this all upon yourself, you fool!”

Margus was the fourth son of a noble house. His whole life had been one long exercise in schooling himself to patience. He’d received none of his family’s lands to manage. He’d been unlucky literally from birth.

At least, that’s how he himself saw it; the truth was rather different. As the baby of the family, he had been cherished and spoiled rotten, and was really the only member of the household who had any real freedom.
