Chapter 158: The Slave’s Property is the Master’s Property

“P-please stop…! We were in the wrong!! And haven’t I been properly apologizing all this time!? Isn’t it the noble thing to accept an apology and forgive!? And yet, despite apologizing, you think you can do this and be forgiven—gyaaaaah!? Guuu… w-why…”

When I asked my former family, “Shall we continue with the magic experiments?” my former father, with tears, mucus, and filth streaming down, pleaded that I should forgive him because he was apologizing. So, I crushed his right arm with Gravity.

“Forgiving upon apology is noble…? You and your family didn’t stop ‘magic experiments’ or ‘magic practice’ even when I apologized, did you? Also, you… even as you say such things, I’ve investigated that you threaten lower nobles or those you have leverage over and lend money at high interest. Even when those people, having done nothing wrong, apologized, you turned them away while laughing behind their backs, didn’t you? Why do you think ‘apology will lead to forgiveness’ when it comes to you? I cannot understand it at all.”

“T-they were in the wrong!! I hardened my heart for them—”

“Oh, what a coincidence. I too have hardened my heart for the sake of your former family. Moreover, the original cause was your family’s actions over the years that made me bear a grudge. It seems that karma does exist.”

After trying various magic, I was gladly given the title of ‘head of the Fang family’ by my former father.

As expected of my former father. I don’t understand why, but just by asking a little more firmly to be made the head, he granted it.

Of course, Zes, who witnessed this scene, continued as the butler of this house, and I instructed the other servants to inform them that the head of the family had changed to me.

To receive not just the title but the entire estate, including the servants, it seems having a former family is indeed advantageous.

Now I can make a happy report and a small return of favor to my master, Lord Kaiser.

“What? What did you just say?”

“So, I have succeeded the title of my family in the kingdom. And since a slave’s property is the master’s property, and my master is Lord Kaiser, in effect, it is as if Lord Kaiser has succeeded the Fang family’s headship.”
