I Become One Hell of a Butler! *Against my will!!*
As I walked down the path I eventually reached the castle gates, I witnessed the royal palace in all its glory. My thoughts on it? It's a castle what do you think it looks like? When i finally reached the palace gardens(which somehow seems to be the only recognizable piece of land with any grass on it, in this city for some reason)I find myself a spot under an apple tree and sat down against it. Looking around i noticed that the gardener was a real artisan. With the garden fenced with at least 6 different species of roses, the massive plot of land was Covered with a beautiful arrangement of carefully grown flowers, even rare herbs and medicinal plants were arranged to add a subtle mysterious undertone.*I can't believe they grow Burdock here*. It even featured a fountain in the shape of the god of light with water spraying up from Its feet. it was then that I noticed there were statues of each of the original 12 holy knights scattered throughout the royal gardens all facing the fountain, except for one, the sun knight.
The sun knight statue supported himself using a sword with its tip in the ground, facing away from the god of light. This seemed odd to me, but at the time I didn't care to investigate it.
While I sat under that tree I realized, maybe those five morons aren't that retarded after all. The grass was amazingly soft and comfortable to sit on.*OH NO YOU DON'T GRASS IDIOCY WILL NEVER GET ME STOP THE INFECTION EARLY* Just then I noticed that in the few hours I've been in Royal road I haven't even looked at my stats or inventory yet. I call out "Stats window" "Inventory"

*WTF WHY AM I STILLL THE CLOUD KNIGHT*-removes title*
In my inventory there was 10 pieces of rye bread, a canteen of water, and a letter from Lolidragon? I opened the letter and basically she wanted to train with me.
I folded it into a paper airplane.
*You have learned handicraft* - Has extra effects on various types of craft skills, and sword mastery.
Slightly amused that i learned a skill from it, I put the paper airplane back into my inventory, and pulled up a random herb. I have basic knowledge on some herbs since I'm studying medicine in real life, and read up on them, but i suspect that Unicorn LTD made up some that didn't exist in reality. This one happened to have round pale blue leaves with small red berries , which I had never seen before in my life. So I did the only logical course of action. I tasted it. The berries were extremely sour, tasting similar to cranberries *cranberries on steroids* while the leaves smelled like mint and tasted sweet like condensed milk. And then i decided to take a nap.
When I next opened my eyes Staring at me was a Rappie, a fluffy five foot tall bird that resembled a baby chick albeit a giant 5 foot one.
I could've sworn it was the same one I saw while those five retards were playing in the grass. *must be seeing things I'll just sleep some more* When I woke up again this time a blonde haired girl of about 16 was staring at me while sitting in a small elegant chair with a matching small elegant table drinking tea.
Getting slightly annoyed of waking up to things staring at me, and being half asleep I complain "can't a guy get any decent sleep without being stared at by random creatures?"
"How rude, did you just call myself, Rinslet Laurenfrost, a random creature? What a miserable afternoon tea it's been today, Reverend even forgot to bring milk and sugar!!!!!"
"A-ah, sorry. I was having a strange dream" Remembering that herb I tasted before I went to sleep, I opened up my inventory and selected it.
Unidentified herb- An herb with unknown properties, you have discovered it to be edible with no immediate side effects.
Pulling out the herb, I offered it to the snobbish girl. "here this herb might help with that".
"What is this? I've never seen you nor this herb before in my life, and you expect me to just put it in my tea? You could be a hired assassin by someone aiming for my life"
Slightly amused "My friends may have compared me to a demon lord from time to time but even I wouldn't poison girl's tea. Besides it's tasty" I pulled off a few leaves and started munching on them. Only then did the young noble accept some leaves of my herb . My satisfaction bar refilled slightly, only then did I remember that I was supposed to eat every few hours. As I was about to take a bite out of one of my Loaves of bread, Rinslet's surprised tone rang through t the garden. "Amazing! This herb adds a subtle calming fragrance to the tea, not to mention the taste. it tastes as if I had used the best cream in the kingdom!"
-Your relationship with Rinslet has increased-
Smiling, she poured me a cup and added some of my leaves. Taking a sip, my exhaustion was completely blown away, this was by far the most amazing drink I've ever had. My satisfaction bar was filled to the max and:
You drank Mysterious Tea
Effects: +20 Life +300 Mana +5 Str +30Dex +40 Int +40 Wis
Your thoughts become sharper, your comprehension speed and ability to learn skills are doubled
You want me to describe how it tasted? Why would I do that? I'm not a food critic how could I explain its flavor so that you'd understand it?
Anyways I noticed a tall man Walking over towards us. He was wearing a swallow tail suit , white gloves, small circle rimmed glasses, with Neat orderly White hair, complete with a pocket watch chain hanging out of his pocket extending up the third button from the bottom on his suit. He's clearly a dolphin. This Dolphin was holding a some humanoid creature with a large purple head up by the back of its collar.
Tapping Rinslet on the shoulder I ask "hey what's that Dolph- er ...Butler holding?". Turning around Rinslet replied "Oh that's Klaus and....." Her lightly smiling face immediately became an angry scowl ".... Reverend". *She's knows Aliens?* Facing Klaus, with a slightly confused expression, "Klaus today's your day off " Klaus dropped Reverend on the ground, he collapsed in a heap on the ground. Klaus then took a deep bow and "My apologies Ojou-sama, I found out that this useless manservant had forgotten milk and sugar for your afternoon tea, and frankly I couldn't bear it anymore and beat him to a near death state." *Oh so his purple face and large head was because it was swollen from being beaten.* "so you aren't in contact with aliens, I'm kinda disappointed" I mumble to myself, and then bring myself to ask: "So you beat him so much he nearly met the grim reaper when you dropped him just now, because he forgot milk and sugar?" In a somewhat dejected tone Klaus answered "Unfortunately no, ever since we took him in yesterday, after he got separated from his four friends who were playing in the grass. Apparently his friends went north to find new grass to roll around in." *Oh so he was one of THOSE idiots.* I was tempted to kick him that last inch over the threshold into the grim reaper's arms "Since then this simpleton has broken every dish in the manor, every vase and statue, blown up the kitchen, killed Ojou-sama's pet dog-" " HE DID WHAT?" shouted RInslet, and half in tears. "WHAT DID HE DO TO MY DEAR, BELOVED THEODOR?" "I-I am so sorry Ojou-sama, I thought you knew........about last night's dinner.....That roast beef......" Sensing my chances of being able to get back at this moron for wasting two weeks of beta testing by playing in the grass. I offered to dispose of him =D, besides I didn't want a corpse stinking up my spot.

While comforting Rinslet, Klaus looked over and nodded with a small expression of gratitude on his face. I pick up the Collapsed Kusa-baka(grass idiot, I was getting bored of calling the 5 Kusa-bakas Idiots) and slung him over my shoulder. Thus began my search for the rowdiest kids I could find.
I found them at a nearby construction site, where the workers had already gone home for the day. They appeared to be noble Children Except for one poor raggedy looking one .
Kid 1: Hey, last night I saw mommy doing this to daddy, It looked fun. Hey bring Levi over.
Then the other two boys grabbed the raggedy looking one and held him down. Kid 1 then stepped on the raggedy looking kid's head and started mercilessly whipping him with a belt. *..... I think I now understand why some nobles develop these hobbies when they're older.*
I walked over And with a bright smile on my face "Hey, this Onii-chan here has a present for you kids"
Kids 1 2 and 3 Look at me with Expectant eyes, you could practically see the sparkles in their eyes. *how can they look so innocent while playing such a game o.o*
I take the Kusa-baka off my shoulder and present him to the children. "You can stop playing rough with that child over there, because this Alien was absolutely Made for Game like this. ;D , With this alien you can keep hitting it as hard as you want, as much as you want =3, just give me one minute" I open up my inventory and pull out some medicinal herbs I picked from the gardens before I left, rolled and crushed them as best as I could in my hands and applied it to the Kusa-baka's face. His hp restored by about 12%, can't have him dying on me in one hit right?
-Your relationship with the Nobility has increased*
*You have learned - bandaging* - Use a cloth or plant based bandage on a target to recover from wounds, Herbs and salves may also be applied to increase effects.
I can't believe I learned a skill from that, maybe doing evil things benefits me because I'm part demon?
Distracted with their new toy Levi was free from oppression. He looked at me with such soul-wrenchingly grateful eyes I almost forgot about the evil deed I had just commited. "Thank you, thank you so much." I gave him my best Sun-knight-failure-attempt smile and told him to hurry on his way.
-Your relationship with the Peasants has increased*
"I'll never forget what you've done for me sir cloud knight" *wait CLOUD KNIGHT?* I open up my status window and try to remove the title again but this time a system message popped up saying "you cannot remove titles while you only have one" *Who the hell made up this stupid rule!*
Oh well I did good today. The noble children received a new toy, that peasant child isn't being bullied and I got partial revenge for me, Klaus, Rinslet and millions of royal road players . Plus I didn't get a murderer's mark OR a fame penalty, so everyone wins~. Everyone except the Kusa-baka you say? Eh, who cares it's not like I know them or anything.
**********************************************************************************
Getting back to the royal gardens, Rinslet looks a lot better than when I left, though her eyes were still a little red. I smile at her and gleefully "I have gotten rid of that Stain on society =3" Klaus came up and said "I'd like to know of your methods" Realizing that Rinslet probably shouldn't hear about my accomplishments, I whisper them to Klaus.
-Your relationship with Klaus has increased
-your relationship with Rinslet has increased
Smiling from my answer, Klaus explained to Rinslet "He was dealt with very appropriately, I think he has potential." almost grinning Rinslet agreed " yes I think so too ." *say what? what's going on here?* "......ummmmmmmm" Rinslet suddenly walked up to me and declared "Starting today your name is Sebastian" *wtfbbq?* "what? Why's that?" "because you're my new butler, silly." I get the feeling my human rights are about to be violated. "o.e Before I even ask about that, why would you change my name?" "how else do you think butlers have names like Klaus? He's certainly not German, and his real name is Thomas J. Everworth." *He has a butler like last name so why don't you just call him everworth????* "when did I ever agree to this?" "That's what they all say, come. Let's go home Klaus, and be sure to bring Sebastian with us." "Yes Ojou-sama" *Huh, what bring Sebastian with us? What do you mean? Didn't you just name ME Sebastian?* Suddenly Klaus Had his vice-like grip on the back of my collar and was dragging me with them. "Hey wait! Where are you taking me??? This isn't cool Klaus!" *Hey wait I remember I forgot a loaf of rye bread on the table* "At least let me get my bread baccccccckkkkkkkkk~~~~~!!!"
