"Sir, your breakfast is ready."

The voice belonged to Serv, Alexan woke up after hearing his voice, Serv was his butler and his alarm clock. Serv was holding a silver tray with toasts on it, Serv was also his chef though not a great one.

"The toasts looked burned."

"Yes, I accidentally burned them and I will be eating those."

"It's fine, about last night. I am sorry for yelling at you, It wasn't your fault."

"Don't worry sir, It is a butler's job to get yelled at by his master."

Serv smiled under his walrus mustache, Alexan picked up the silver tray from Serv and started to eat his breakfast on his bed, this was an unhealthy habit of Alexan. Even when his father was alive he hated to eat in the dining hall, after eating his breakfast Serv started to dress him up.

"Your white shirt and your armless blue sweater?"

"No, today I want the dark red one."

"Yes, sir. What about your pants and your tie?"

"Give me the brown pants and I don't want to wear a tie."

"Yes, sir"

After getting dressed up by Serv, both of them went to the basement to pick up his grandfather's equipment, there was an old big chest, the only sunlight in the room fell on it, Alexan slowly opened the chest and saw something surprising.

"What is this?"

Alexan picked up a sword from the chest, It looked like a cheap and common sword, there was nothing special about and it was used too, the old big chest was full of swords like the Alexan was holding, Serv was surprised, he looked around to find another chest in the basement but there was nothing, Alexan started to get angry.

"Don't fucking tell me this cheapskate used swords like this. And put them on a chest after he used them?!"

"Y-Your grandfather was a strong man but he was strong in magic, not swordsmanship."

A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

"Fucking cheapskate!"

Alexan kicked the old chest but the chest didn't move an inch, he was now outraged because of a simple chest. He started to kick the chest with all of his anger, after kicking for a while the bottom of the chest broke and Serv noticed something.

"Sir! There is a secret part!"

Alexan and Serv started to empty chest and they saw a secret part. They opened the secret part and they saw a crossbow and a couple of bolts, Alexan picked it up with a proud smile on his face.

"That cheapskate knew how to hide valuable things."

And then Alexan noticed a writing on the crossbow, It was dusty and so he wiped it with his hands, It revealed the writing but this only made Alexan angrier.

"Will Hertolian?! That traitor's name is on this crossbow! Serv destroy this crossbow!"

"S-Sir, Will Hertolian's armor was sold for ten thousand gold coins. And his crossbow would worth around five thousand gold coins."

"You telling me to sell it?!"

"Well, your grandfather hid that crossbow for a reason."

"Fuck him! And the traitor who lived five hundreds of years ago. He is the reason why the main branch of Mortelian family is in this state!"

"S-Sir, I don't know about that but I strongly suggest that we should sell this crossbow."

"You don't know?! Then let me fucking tell you! Five hundred years ago, there were three brothers in the Mortelian family! One of them fucked the family over because he fell in love with a fucking hero priestess. The other one fucked the family over because he thought this was a good chance to betray the family! And one of them stayed in the family! Their names were Will Hertolian, Marky Pertolian, and Gerot Mortelian! Remember this!"

Alexan was yelling at Serv again, this was one of Alexan's bad personality traits, he would get angry easily and couldn't control himself and then Serv slapped him with a serious expression on his face.

"Hertolian family rules the fucking republic! Their head is the fucking president! Their second head is the fucking vice president! Both of them are in the great hero council! Pertolian family rules the market and shady businesses! Their head is the fucking minister of justice and their old head was the president! And all of them are around your fucking age! What are you!? You are nothing! The only reason I still support you because I see you as a child who had a hard childhood! And my family served your family for ages!"

Alexan fell on the ground, he was shocked, he never thought of Serv yelling at him. Not even his own father yelled at him once but the thing that shocked him the most was everything he said was true, he was just a useless noble brat. But then he remembered his family code and stood up.

"We Mortelians never betray people but Pertolians do. We Mortelians never marry a hero but Hertolians do. We Mortelians never lose but humans do and this is why Mortelians are the greatest family of all time. I always hated to say this before having dinner and that was why I always ate in my room. But now I see it, thanks for opening my eyes Serv. We shall now go to the adventurer guild."

Alexan picked up two swords from the chest and gave one to Serv, he picked up the sword and the crossbow, he was now ready to kill some monsters but the real monsters were in a different place, places like the ministry of justice.
