1 Butler Qian at your service.

"I love you" A ragged man said to a woman.

"..... this... I-I like you to Qian Mo... but we're slaves..." The woman answered, Both of them had a crest mark somewhere on their body.

"Don't forget that we're people too, we have feelings"

"Qian Mo..." The woman was touched, She had feelings for Qian Mo for a very long time but she dare not say it as she wasn't a clean woman but an s*x slave.

The two tried to run away from the slave market, And they succeed in escaping.

Just like that, they live their life in the forest, inside an abandoned house, Qian Mo did his best in repairing the house.

A few years came by and they finally had a child, he was their cute little angel, a baby boy.

They were living their life happily, Unfortunately, good things didn't last long.

Five years later the couple helped a poor woman they found lying unconscious in the forest, they fed her and let her stay.

She was a sweet woman, she helped with chores, and when the time she had to leave, she said "I'll come visit you two again!"

And she fulfilled her promise, she came back, but she wasn't alone.

The Acrine Knights came with her, the knights of the kingdom they escape from.

"Wha-what is the meaning of this?" Qian Mo who was standing outside the house asked.

They were betrayed by the woman they helped.

"You still didnt know? You two were really slaves, I'm grateful that you two save me on the wild but that's that"

"When I realize that you were slaves, I was delighted, do you know how much they reward when one gives information about escaped slaves?"

"Thanks to you two idiots, I now will be able to live a better life," She said while smiling wickedly.

"You ungrateful c*nt!" Qian Mo shouted, he was then unawarely hit at his back, losing consciousness.

"Fa-Father!!" Qian Peng, Their little baby was now five years old, He was shocked when he saw his father falling to the ground.

His mother stopped him, She then whispered "Daddy, Me, and Sis were playing tag do you want to join us little Peng?"

"Hmm"

"Then go run towards the forest, Dont let those guys get you okay?"

"Okay!" The clueless kid obeyed his mother and ran towards the back door.

"I love you Little Peng" The mother said as the knights entered the house and hit her too.

The little kid ran and ran.

But after an hour, He got bored, Nobody was trying to catch him.

Qian Peng goes back to their house and was confused.

Nobody was home.

"Mom? Dad?" He shouted but no one replied.

He looks around the house but to no avail.

His tummy had already growled three times.

"Got you!" Suddenly, The traitor woman appeared and tied him.

____

"This kid is those slave's child"

When Qian Mo heard these words he woke up, What he saw almost destroy his soul.

It was his lovely child, Tied with ropes tightly, his face was red, someone has beaten him up.

"You bastard what did you do to my kid?!" He shouted, He can only shout as he too was tied.

"Shut up, If you shout one more time this annoying kid of yours will die"

"I'll kill you!!"

___

The two were hanged in public, they were used as a warning that "no slave could escape their grasp"

"This kid's face has potential" The slave-dealer said.

Just like that he managed to survive for another day.

2 years had past since then, Qian peng wasn't treated as badly as other slave, even if he get hit, the punisher make sure not to leave any scar on him.

He was, after all, a valuable product, a handsome man that was highly popular with middle-aged aunties.

but before any aunty bought him.

A man appeared at the slave market.

"Master tasked me to find a hundred boys with great potential"

"Send them all to the castle"

___

"There's 100 of you here but only five will remain in the next three years!"

"If you want to live then you must train and become the perfect butler!"

"Yes!" The kids answer.

Only five could survive that means everybody was their enemy.

Qian Peng also knows this.

Their training started.

"A butler must know how to fight, go fight with each other until five remain standing, those who lose won't eat today!"

"Ahhh!!!"

The fight started.

Qian Peng found himself being attacked on every side, but as he has no experience in fighting he didn't manage to fight back and was the first one to fall.

As he wasn't obviously one of the five kids who managed to remain standing he couldn't eat.

"The next training will be about your ability to absorb knowledge, This here are books, Learn as much as you can within an hour and we will do a test"

Qian Peng doesn't know how to read or write, his parents didn't teach him as they too didn't know how.

Papers we're expensive the poor can't afford them, And the poor don't need to know how to read or write as they mostly converse with each other.

Therefore he failed the test and was unable to eat again.

"Then onto the third test..."

"The fourth"

"The.."

"And Finally the Seventh test!"

"I'll teach you all magic"

Qian Peng, Failed the test again.

For a whole week, Qian Peng didn't manage to eat, he was hungry and he doesn't have much energy.

"Now that all of you were familiar with the Seven Test, You guys will do it every single day"

Everyday.

They fight barehand, they read, they write, they do swordfight, they got tortured, they learn magic, and they were taught about many things.

3 years had passed, and Qian Peng who doesn't know how to fight now knows how to use the sword with great mastery, He also becomes proficient in the thing called magic.

His perseverance and will to live allowed him to fight even when hungry! he could endure torture for hours!

Today was the last day, six people remains from the previous hundred.

"For the final test in your life"

"There are five princesses in this castle"

"Gain their acknowledgment and become their butler, The one who wasn't able to do so will die"

___

"Im Chen lin, what's your name?"

"My parents call me Qian Peng"

"I see would you like to be my butler, Qian Peng?"

"Butler Qian at your service my princess"

"Good!".
