When I was Reincarnated into a Game World, I Was a Farmer’s Son

Chapter 48

A few months ago, the Marwell Knights and some lumberjacks visited Machikane Village to gather some firewood. Vice Commander Goti, who was leading the knights, called me to his tent and offered me a position as an apprentice knight in the Marwell knight order.

According to his explanation, as an apprentice knight, I would receive one gold coin per month as my salary. One gold coin is enough for a family of three like us to live for about two months in Machikane village.

As an apprentice knight, I’m going to stay in the knight’s dormitory. Because they will provide me three meals a day, I will have no personal living expenses. I can save up enough money from my monthly wage to support my parents and cover the necessary expenses when we reclaim our farmland.

In my previous life, as a child from a single-parent household, I couldn’t do much to help my father. But this time, I want to help my parents as much as I can.

Moreover, I’m truly happy and grateful for the life my parents gave me as a farmer in Machikane village.

I will become an apprentice knight to earn money and get my peaceful life as a farmer back.

Because we decided to seek my uncle’s help in the Northern town, my mom and dad wants to visit him once before moving there. Therefore, I am left in the care of the village chief.

Worried that I might wander off alone into the forest, the village chief assigned someone to keep an eye on me. Until my mom and dad returned, I helped the village chief with his farming work.

The village chief’s field is also affected by the Murasaki disease, but it doesn’t cause significant impact to their livelihood.

I truly am the son of a farmer. Farming is very fun for me.

It’s been a while since the last time I work on the field. I love taking care of the crops and nurture them day by day. I’ve decided, I definitely want to inherit our family’s land in the future.

Mom and dad left the village early in the morning and returned in the evening. They told me that my uncle’s family warmly welcomed us.

After a late dinner, I call both of my parents and say that I have something to discuss with them.

“Mom, dad, I’ve decided to go to Marwell County.”

They have puzzled looks on their faces hearing my words, but before they can say anything, I show them the letter I received from Goti. It’s the letter of recommendation to become an apprentice knight.

“Inside this envelope is a recommendation letter for me to become an apprentice knight in the Marwell Knight Order.”

I explained to them everything, I told them about my conversation with Goti a few months ago.

My recommendation letter bore the seal of Goti’s noble family, the Viscount Dakitani House.

A noble’s seal is an expensive and precious item created by magic. When the seal is pressed, it imbues the mark with magical power.

An item marked with the seal undoubtedly serves as proof that a noble guarantee it, in this case, it is a letter of recommendation for me to become an apprentice knight.

In the game, there were events involving missions related to seals in the main storyline, that’s why I’m aware of the effects of seals in this world.

Both father and mother had attended school in their youth where they learned about the seals held by nobles.

“I want to become a knight.”

It’s not like I specifically want to become a knight. However, it seems that both my father and mother think that I have an admiration for knights and soldiers. Perhaps it’s because they saw me training with a stick, pretending it to be a sword.

Although my kind-hearted parents would likely object if I say it’s for the sake of the family, I believe that they will allow me to join the knight order as an apprentice if it’s for the sake of my dream.

It’s a rare opportunity for a commoner to receive a recommendation letter to become an apprentice knight.

Both my father and mother understand that, and while they will support me if there is a possibility for me to achieve my dream, they also have their concerns. Being a knight means I will have to train and engage in battles. Therefore, they’re worried that I would get hurt or be in dangerous situations, it’s only natural for parents to worry about their child’s sake.

I passionately express my desire to join the knight order to my parents all night long. In the end, both of my parents granted me the permission to join the knight order.
