Ben was momentarily stunned, realizing that these people were willing to become his house servants.
But he was not yet a noble, his nobility was barely upheld by Char, this Mage Follower. However, he thought for a moment and found that he indeed needed some people to handle matters for him. Thus, he pondered for a while, then replied:
"After today, it won't be quite appropriate for you all to follow me."
Everyone was taken aback, but only Reto caught the hint in his words: "So what is your plan, my Lord," the bar owner asked.
Ben looked at him: "What are your plans?"
Everyone exchanged glances, to Ben's slight surprise, it was Yulier, the Security Captain, who spoke up: "If you have other intentions, Lord, we plan to form a mercenary group. We've all fought side by side before and have mutual trust."
"Yulier, you're abandoning your position as Security Captain?" he asked.
