Chapter 15

Chapter 14 – Hero of Pratinos (3)

Jerome Taker was born as the son of a Marquis. Only, he was born not as the eldest but the third son, and the son of a concubine at that. Still, since he was born the son of a Marquis, he received a complete noble’s education growing up.

In his schoolings, Jerome showed substantial talent in swordsmanship.

The Taker household was a military family by nature, and produced superb knights from generation to generation. However, the first and second sons born from the first wife were not talented enough to satisfy the standards of their father, Marquis Taker. Yet Jerome — although born from a concubine — showed his genius.

Consequently, Jerome received Marquis Taker’s wholehearted adoration.

The favor he curried was special enough that the first son felt insecure about his place as successor, despite his spot being guaranteed.
