Big Capitalist

No, both Ed and Ace are his sons, he was determined. Adrian didn't want Ace to be just a hunter, so he was willing to let him participate in knight training, even if he would be separated from his eldest son for a long time. He also didn't want his youngest son Ed to be trapped in the mountains for the rest of his life, he believed Ed could have a better future!

Every time he saw Ed doing rough work in the mountains, his heart was filled with regret for himself. If Ed continued to follow him, sooner or later he would become a hunter and a mountain man!

Ed shouldn't be a person like him, so when he heard that Baron Famian's family wanted to recruit a smart and reading child to organize books, he went to find Butler Longman.

He knelt on the ground, threw away his so-called self-esteem, and begged Butler Langman with tears in his eyes to hire Ed.

He doesn't need a penny! If he had known that this job would endanger his young son's life, he would never have begged the housekeeper. He could die, but his son couldn't.

"Get out! Get out!" The old hunter Adrian roared angrily.

Langman was not angry. He turned around and prepared to leave. He had no reason to be angry with such a person, nor did he bother to argue with anything.

At this time, Ed said, "Wait a minute, Butler Langman, please forgive my father's unreasonableness. I am willing to take this job."

The old hunter Adrian and Butler Langman looked at Ed in surprise. Butler Langman said, "Are you serious? You should know that I am not trying to scare you. Once you leak the knowledge in the book, even if there is just a little rumor, your life will be gone."

"It's okay, I won't make any mistakes. If something does go wrong, I will never blame others. I'm ready." Ed said.

Butler Langman looked at Ed's determined eyes and nodded with satisfaction. He pushed the door open and walked out. "Very good. I will come to pick you up next year. You can change your mind before you step into Baron Famion's house, but if you go in, you will never be able to come out within these two years."

Adrian looked at his son in disbelief, not understanding why he would accept such harsh conditions. "Son, why did you agree? I doubt they really want to hire you for this job. They just want to find someone to take the blame. Once they make a mistake, they can put the blame on you..."

Ed shook his head. He looked at his father and mother, tears streaming down his eyes, but a bright smile appeared on his face. "Father, thank you!"

This word of thanks instantly broke the defense of the old hunter Adrian. He couldn't help but shed tears and hugged his son tightly.

Ed knew how much his father and mother had sacrificed for him and his brother. He knew everything. They had given up everything an old hunter had in order to make him successful.

Father’s embrace is so warm...

Adrian looked at his son in his arms and wondered if he had truly been a competent father this time.

The next morning, the butler signed Ed's indenture with Adrian. For the next two years, Ed was unable to leave Baron Farmien's Mansion and completely lost his freedom.

Sitting in the carriage, Ed could hardly imagine what his parents' expressions would be like now. Without his brother and him, could they take care of themselves? Although he was very reluctant, he could only suppress it in his heart, because he would not give up this hard-won opportunity, an opportunity to pursue the truth!

The moment Ed stepped into Baron Famion's mansion, he was shocked by the scene before him and was almost speechless. Although this was the lowest-level baron's mansion, it was so luxurious and unfamiliar to him who came from the depths of the mountains.

Exquisite tapestries hung on the towering stone walls, and the colorful patterns seemed to tell ancient stories. In the spacious hall, the floor was covered with thick carpets, and one could hardly hear one's footsteps when walking on them, as if stepping into a dream.

Along the way, Ed felt extremely restrained, like an uninvited guest, afraid that his presence would disturb this exquisite life. His heart was full of uneasiness, but Butler Langman seemed calm and at ease, leading him through the gorgeous corridor to the accommodation.

Ed couldn't help but feel curious. Everything here was completely different from his life in the mountains.

After registering the accommodation information, Butler Langman did not give Ed much time to rest, but began to introduce his work content in detail.

"You will serve as the librarian of the Baron's library," Langman said calmly, "Your duty is to organize and classify the book files to ensure that every book can be found when needed. We have a huge number of books here, about 20,000, covering all fields." His voice was full of authority, which made Ed feel awed involuntarily.

Finally, Ed arrived at the place he had always dreamed of - Baron Farmien's Library. As soon as the door opened, a shocking scene came into view: the library was very spacious, and all kinds of books were neatly arranged on the bookshelves around. The golden letters on the spines of the books flickered faintly under the candlelight. The air was filled with a faint scent of books, as if every book was whispering an unknown story.

On the desk, several oil lamps emitted soft light, illuminating every corner. Ed's heart was filled with excitement and anticipation. Butler Langman told him that the working hours were from 9 am to 6 pm, and three meals would be delivered by someone, but he could not leave the mansion. Starting tomorrow, he would officially start working.

Over the next several years, Ed was immersed in a sea of books almost every day, including knowledge about magic, historical legends, exploration logs of ruins... He tried hard to absorb every piece of information, and his mind was filled with what he had read.

Butler Langman was satisfied with Ed's work status and often gave him help and encouragement, which made Ed feel extremely precious during this period.

One day, Butler Langman found Ed and said excitedly, "Baron Famion has returned from the front. Not only is the Baron coming back today, but the Baroness will also be bringing the young master and young lady home. We need to go and greet them together."

Soon after, Ed and the butler and other servants stood outside the mansion, waiting for the Baron's family to return. The luxurious carriage slowly stopped in front of the door. The carriage was decorated with golden patterns, and the wheels made a slight sound as they rolled over the ground. As the carriage door opened, Baron Famion's family of five slowly got out of the car, and Ed's eyes were immediately attracted to the Baron.
