Lanter's Hidden Power

LANTER’S POV—20 YEARS AGO

There was once a family of renowned butlers who were highly sought after among all the noble families of the Empire. From grandfather to father to son, they all took pride and dignity in being perfect manservants.

However, there was eventually a boy named Lanter born into this family who hated the idea of being a servant. He was humiliated at the thought that he and his father lived in the house of a family much richer than them, people who had everything they could ever want and who were famous throughout the Empire.

The boy obeyed his father and acted as a good servant during his childhood, but as he became a teenager, Lanter became rebellious.

His work became sloppy, and he did not take care of his appearance. There eventually came a day when his father, who was the butler of the house, dragged Lanter into the pantry to lecture him.
