Balder the...impudent teen... |
While Knight was walking through the town, a merchant came up to Knight.Merchant: Hello there, are you one of the Rune Knights?
[Knight]: Are you talking to me?
Merchant: You don't have to hide it. I can easily tell... I heard there aren't enough Knights because of the war. I happen to know a Knight who is still available. Would you like to meet him? I'm not asking for money, since I'm doing this for the country.
Man: Father? What are you doing in a place like this? Are you trying to cheat someone again?
Merchant: What are you talking about, Balder? This man is one of the Rune Knights and we were just talking about your future as a Knight. Now, leave us until we are done.
Balder: Oh, I see... Now you're going to decide how I should live my life?
Merchant: If I don't, you'll never start working.
Balder: You don't have to worry about me. I'll decide how I should live my life. I just need some support from you.
Merchant: Listen, Balder. An opportunity like this comes only once in a lifetime. It would be such an honor for my son, the son of a merchant, to work as a Knight in the Palace.
Balder: I'm surprised to hear the word "Honor" from you. You always say, "Honor doesn't bring you food." But I guess credibility is the most important thing for a merchant. If you're the father of a Knight, you will have higher credibility. With that, you'll get more business, which leads to more money, right? I'm sorry, but I have no intention of being your business tool. I won't become a Knight.
Merchant: Balder! Is that the way to talk to your father? You are no longer my son! I disown you! Go anywhere you wish!
Balder: What? You disown me? That means we are no longer related, right?
Merchant: That's right.
Balder: Great! Sir, can I come with you to meet your Lord?
Merchant: What!?
Balder: That man there and I have nothing to do with each other. Therefore, that man can't take any advantage of me becoming a Knight.
[Knight]: That makes sense...
Merchant: Wait a second! I was wrong! Balder, my son!
Balder: I would appreciate it if you don't call me that anymore. Didn't you just disown me? Well, shall we get going?
Balder starts walking away.
Merchant: Balder..! My son..!
Balder has joined [As if I care]
[ I hate Balder. He's a disrespectful, thankless, good-for-nothing punk who just wants to leech off his father and cause trouble. Why would any country want a lazy jerk who would cause the scene above, after being raised, clothed and fed by a man who is only really asking for a little something in return. As it is, he's lucky I didn't have the choice to simply run my sword through him where he stood, the little shit... I find it fun to take Balder into battle, advance him ahead of everyone else and watch him die.]
