And the next morning,
I'm eating breakfast as I always do.
With a strange mother and an unfamiliar father whom I haven't seen in a while.
It was quiet because it was awkward for us to talk to each other.
But today was a little different.
A few minutes after we started eating, Dad opened his mouth.
"Voice actor,"
"Huh?"
"You know, my family is having a hard time making ends meet."
"yes.."
Since we're talking about making a living, I guess it's about money.
So are you telling me to go make money?
"Now I think it would be good for you to get a government position.
"Now that Dad can't do anything, our family is in your hands."
"Well... should I study hard now?"
"That's better, but there's a more certain way."
"What is that?"
At that moment, I felt uneasy for some reason.
Because anything that is easy and certain has some fatal flaw.
☬
"What? Really?"
"Yeah... I might not be able to see you anymore."
"Wait a minute, we'll talk about that later. Are you really going to start from the beginning?"
"I don't know. Looking at Mom and Dad, I kind of want to do that...
A servant is a job that involves serving men.
"For a noble to do that... I think it would be embarrassing to others."
"No, no, you're getting the exact opposite."
"Why?"
"First of all, being a servant is a glorious profession even for nobles.
Because I serve the royal family, especially the Emperor and the Crown Prince, up close.
Naturally, you may receive favor and rise to a position of power or receive favor.
The best is the nanny, followed by the chief maid and the servant.
Since you're a man, being a chief attendant would be the best option."
"So... what my father said was, wear this silver and rise to a government position, right?
Or maybe you can go all the way up to the chief attendant?
"No, you have almost no chance of becoming a chief attendant.
No matter how glorious the profession, the average nanny is a countess,
The servants are lower-ranking nobles, down to the level of Viscount, and the chief servant is
Among the servants, he is the person closest to the royal family, like a secretary.
Among the counts, only the eldest son who has a title or is expected to have a title is chosen.
"Maybe he'll tell me to go into government service. Or maybe he'll just tell me to be a servant."
"Why? You don't have any particular desires?"
"No, you can assume that your family rarely rises to public office."
"Why? Because you're a baron? Or is there something else?"
"There's something else. In fact, all the nobles will know.
It once shook the nobles and the royal family.."
"What kind of incident is it?"
"I won't say anything now. Then your choice will change."
"If it's better for me not to know, then I'll remain ignorant.
But you'll tell me this someday, right?"
"Yeah, of course! This much is enough between friends."
"No matter how much you know, I'm still your older brother?"
"Okay, bro."
"Oh, but if I really become a servant, I don't think I'll be able to meet you..."
"Don't worry about that. Even though I look like this, I have free access to the palace."
"Are you a servant too? No, I don't think you'll be this free..
Then, are you just some rogue servant who wanders around?
"No, not that one..."
"I'm just kidding. But the palace isn't a place you can just come and go as you please..."
"I can do that because I have some connections..."
"Then you're illegally climbing over the wall and entering?"
"No, no, legally and freely.
If you want, you can even request an audience with the Emperor!"
"An audience? That's something not just anyone can do..."
"Oh, if I keep going like this, my identity will be revealed. I'll stop here."
"Hey, this isn't fun... This won't do. Come have a drink with me."
"Hyung, have you been playing around more lately? Have you become more relaxed?"
"Yeah, I've been like that lately."
"This guy, seriously. When you see the results later, let me know!
"The chances of it not working are seriously high, but..."
"The competition is fierce. Okay, I get it."
☬
Even though he said that, I felt that something was wrong with our family.
I know that most of them are actually chosen from the author's family.
Still, I thought there must be something disadvantageous for our family.
Of course, I know that if I find out, it will remain as a jinx,
I was so curious. I was brimming with curiosity.
I was worried that I might get scolded when I went to the test center.
If it's an incident that could shake up the royal family and the nobility like that, then it's going to happen.
I really want to support you for the sake of your family and clan, but
Rather, I felt like I was going to get eaten, and I was scared.
What choice should I make?
This is a difficult and important choice.

It's finally my second birthday celebration. Happy last birthday in my teens❤️
Gyeongnam is currently under a typhoon warning. I can't hear the wind. What about Seoul?
I'm just waiting for school to be closed tomorrow. The group chat is going crazy.
Anyway, everyone, please be careful of the typhoon. I think it would be difficult for me to upload every day, so I am posting on Saturdays and Sundays.
I'll change it to a daily series. I'll upload another one tomorrow or the day after.
I'll also upload "I miss you" which I haven't uploaded in a while.
