No, Ed and Ace were both 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 doesn't want his youngest son Ed to be trapped in the mountains for the rest of his life. He believes Ed can 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 want a penny! If he had known that this job would endanger the life of his young son, he would never have begged the housekeeper. He could die, but his son could not.

"Get out! Get out right now!" 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 housekeeper Langman looked at Ed in surprise. Housekeeper 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 the next 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 found it hard to imagine what his parents' expressions would be like now. His brother and he were not around. Could they take care of themselves? Although he was extremely 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 Famen's mansion, he was so shocked by the scene before him that he was almost speechless. Although this was the lowest-class baron's mansion, it was all so luxurious and unfamiliar to him who came from the depths of the mountains.

Exquisite tapestries are hung on the towering stone walls, and the colorful patterns seem to be telling ancient stories. The spacious hall was covered with thick carpets. One could hardly hear one’s footsteps when walking on them. It was as if one had stepped 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 filled with anxiety, but Butler Langman seemed calm and at ease, leading him through the magnificent corridor to their 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 in awe 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 shelves around it. The golden letters on the spines of the books flickered faintly in the candlelight. The air is filled with the faint scent of books, as if every book is 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 his working hours were from nine to six, and that three meals would be delivered to him, but he could not leave the mansion. He will officially start working tomorrow.

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