A jolt of the carriage startled Xiel from his memories, or perhaps a dream.
They had arrived at Farrell Manor, where he was about to start his new life. He wasn't sure what to expect, but with the training that he had, he was expecting to be a servant of this young girl in the family.
Xiel learned from the tower that Mana Practitioners who were about to attend Magic Academies could have one or even three servants who were non-practitioners.
After all, Magicians were known for having weak defenses at their early stage. Because of that, nobles or rich Magicians would always have their children accompanied by a few servants who would grow old with them.
This way, they would have deeper trust in each other. Furthermore, the Slave Mark on them would have also become profound and inescapable after that much time had passed.
Of course, these servants wouldn't just take care of their daily needs but also protect them even at the cost of their lives.
