It is often said that people will be poor and has many children, and it seems that law cannot be escaped even if blue blood flows through your body.

Nod thought about that.

Nod is part of a noble family. He is part of Ferris family, a noble of the Hamil kingdom located in the eastern part of the Irva continent.

The Ferris family is a venerable family who served in the time of the founding of King Alba I, before the Kingdom of Hamil was founded.  Since then, they have been serving the royal family from generation to generation.

However.,  all that honor doesn't make them prosper.

My Ferris family has a history and tradition, but its rank is just a knight family that is placed in sixth rank of noble family. The 4 knights allowance is only 16 silver coins (it is said that the cost of living for one adult is 4 pieces of silver coins per year) and the 4 people in office position also get 16 silver coins.

(フェリス家は歴史と伝統こそあれど、その階級は勳六等に叙される騎士家に過ぎない。俸禄も銀貨16枚──四人扶持（大人一人が一年にかかる生活費が銀貨四枚だと言われている）に過ぎず、加えて役職手当である衛兵長の手当ても、同じく銀貨16枚で四人扶持である)

If you can support eight people in total, aren't you rich enough?

Some people may think so, but it won't be that easy.

The Ferris Family, who are direct vassals of the royal family who do not fall into the world, need to hire servants to keep their face. At least the butler who manages the house and head maid who manages the maid. In fact, you will hire some maids under that position.

In addition, our Ferris Knights need to play the role of the chief guard. Since the chief of the guard is responsible for managing the guards, the law stipulates that at least two soldiers are required to be brought in, unlike a single guard who only needs to serve alone.

Also, noble family normally has followers who serve them different  from the soldiers.

There is noble who has no followers, is usually a followers of  another noble such as a nobleman, and as a knights family, they must have followers.

In total, as a one household Ferris family has one butler, one maid chief, two soldiers and one follower. A total of five people are required.

In line with this, there were seven members of the Ferris family. It is said that one child is half-held (two silver coins), so if you have two, the budget will be tight.

Then, how many children are there in my Ferris family?

There's twelve people.

It is a natural question of what the hell is Ferris family thinking about, but unfortunately Nod did not have an answer to that question.

If it can be even called answer the best answer is that the Head of Ferris family and his wife are in good relations, and the maids below the maid chief are also become his mistress.

As for the composition of their children, there is the eldest son Albireo who will be 22 years old this year, below that the eldest daughter 20 years old Hannah, the second son Johann is 18-year-old, followed by the third son me the 16 year-old Nod.

Considering that the second daughter, Lilia  is 13 years old, and the fourth son Eren is 6 years old, and the third daughter, Iris is 5 years old.

However, guess what they still have more children, the fourth daughter Helena is 4 years old, the fifth daughter Franca is 3 years old, the sixth daughter Milia is 2 years old, and the twin boy and girl who were born this year ── fifth son Christopher and seventh daughter Clarissa in total of 12 kids.

Of course, because of that kind of thing, there are not enough living expenses.

The situation of the brothers and sisters, including Nod, is bad since their needs is double than normal family because not enough money. They also often helped by their relatives.

Fortunately, the eldest son and the second son are adults (18 years old are adults in the Hamil Kingdom), so there is no cost of living for them.

The eldest son Albireo has already work in capital and has been able to pay his own portion, and his second son, Johan, has been helping his relatives.

On the other hand, the eldest daughter Hannah was in a miserable situation, Hannah goes to other families as a maid to work as a maid (it is not uncommon for a daughter of a low-class aristocrat to become a maid at a high-ranking aristocratic house), and her hands are also dexterous, so she sews as an internal job. Hanna's sewing embroidery is worth it, so it is one of the important incomes of the Ferris family.

However, Hannah is 20 years old this year.

Hannah, who is well-dressed and beautiful in appearance, is popular among men of appropriate age, but unfortunately my Ferris family doesn't has enough money to bring her home to become a bride.

Therefore, in the Hamil kingdom, where she was considered as old after the age of 20, she still worked for the Ferris family and could not become a bride.

And the fourth child, the third son Nod, decided.

Suppose I managed to make money and help my family who had been tight in money fot the last few years.

And  make my cute sister Hannah, to become a bride, and in a few years, I vowed that my sister, Lilia, who will getting married, will not have the same hardship as Hannah.

For that reason, the Nod gave up going on to a knight school.

In knight school, it is a place where you learn military stuff and will become a soldier serving the king, and if you graduate from military school, you will be appointed as the first noble.

And by playing an active part in the battle, you can become a hereditary noble.

This kind of advancement is the standing succession allowed for the second son of a general aristocratic family.

In addition, graduation from this knight school is absolutely necessary when aiming to enter other families. This is because there is no aristocrat who wants to make a trace of his own family that is not even a knight of the first nobility. (In fact, Johann, the second son, has been described as a first-generation nobleman and then entered a relative's house who only has a daughter.)

There is no special stuff that Nod has except he is part of knight family. At best, it is about swordsmanship that has been handed down by the his father and his brothers, and such a thing does not appeal to the nobility. Therefore, Nod already made a decision to throw away his blue bloodness.

But the node thinks.

My Ferris Knights who are about to be covered with red poverty are still his beloved parents' homes.

Parents, older brothers, brothers and sisters, butlers, maid chiefs and maids like that house where their servants and soldiers come and go, he still loves them all.

That's why the node decided to abandon everything and become an adventurer.

this thing still need to be edited more i guess so please correct me. also which one is better for mc's name? Nod or Node?
