After that incident, for the first time, women realized that their plan had failed. They decided to retract it. How could they not retract it when the first reason for their action, Daudrian's deterrent, had failed. Not only had it failed completely, but it had also achieved the opposite of the desired results. Their actions only fueled him to become more extreme in his deeds. This became clear to the poor girl who fell into his hands.

The incident began when a father from the working class, standing between the poor and the noble class, with a moderate to decent income, needed money to treat his sick son. He had some money, but it wasn't enough to treat his son. While he could afford the medication to alleviate his son's symptoms, the treatment that could actually cure his son was more expensive than what he could afford.

So, he had no choice but to seek the necessary money for his son's recovery and chose the Delaviga family.

He went to the family and requested to meet the head of the household. Luckily, he had some acquaintances working in the palace who hurried the process for him to meet him. His purpose in going to this family was also to hear that the head of the household had once gone through a similar experience, so he believed there was no one who could understand him and have the motivation to help him like the head of this family... He didn't know he was going to the lion's den willingly.

The needy father now stood before the head of the household, and contrary to what he believed, things went smoothly. The head did not treat him poorly; even his way of speaking wasn't excessively polite to maintain the head's status, nor was it arrogant to belittle The needy man. The father appreciated such a simple act, although it was minor, its impact was significant.

Even though he felt grateful for this simple act, he wasn't surprised by it much. Noble behavior from this working-class in front of this simple worker was understandable By virtue of both of them going through the same experience.. Nonetheless, he couldn't help but be thankful that his assumption was correct.

In the end, even if two people went through the same experience, it didn't mean they would agree. On the contrary, it might happen that instead of sympathizing with each other, they would look down on each other due to several circumstances. This made the worker feel grateful for not falling into such a situation.

The worker's goal was achieved, and the nobleman agreed to lend him money, making the needy father envision a bright future where his son would rise from his bed and play with his peers in the neighborhood. Such an opportunity did not come from someone else whom he thought would extend a helping hand. All the credit goes to his former fiancée who had not reached the stage of marriage.

It seems that when this marriage failed for her, it led her to work as a servant in the palace of this noble family. He thought their relationship was over, but life with its strange and unexpected turns had another opinion. His former fiancée coincidentally met him and told him about this family that could help him. She even arranged for him to meet the head of the family.

After such great help, his former fiancée's status in his heart rose significantly, and he promised himself to repay this great debt to her.

The nobleman stipulated a condition for lending him the money: that his son, Doudrian, would handle the matter. The worker welcomed such a condition, seeing it in his interest rather than detrimental. He believed that if there was someone easy to deal with and convince, it would be someone younger and less experienced, who could possibly build a good relationship with this young lord, thus ensuring a bright future for his son under the wing of the young heir.

Luck smiled upon him, or so he thought at least. At that time, the needy father didn't know who he was about to deal with. And because during that time Daudrian hadn't gained his reputation among the people, the worker saw this condition as favorable.

Soon, the head of the household called one of the palace servants and ordered him to call his son, who, in turn, wasn't in a hurry at all. He was busy with his own activities, and as soon as he heard his father was looking for him, his mood soured. This was evident on the poor girl who was serving his sadistic whims. This action made the head of the household, feel embarrassed in front of his guest.

He couldn't help but blame himself for that. He had spoiled him too much and had only shown him his gentle side. As a result, his actions led his son to see his father only as a servant to his needs, rather than appreciating what his father did for him.

Ultimately, when good things continue to happen to someone, they think it's normal. Even to the point where they no longer appreciate it over time.

And this is what happened with the head of the household and his son. Due to the father's excessive pampering of his son with an easy life, the boy no longer felt his father's efforts to please him but rather thought it was the father's duty to serve him without reciprocity, ignorant of the fact that the opposite was true.

The head of the household knew this very well, but he wouldn't refrain from what he was doing even if it meant his son wouldn't appreciate the effort he made for him. He was afraid of losing his only son.

In truth, the head of the household's goal in involving his son in this matter was not only because he feel the pain that the worker was going through, watching his liver die slowly before his eyes, but also for his son to feel the blessings he is living in and had overlooked. When he saw a boy close to his age living in an environment that could be considered miserable and going through what he had gone through before, that was his purpose in leaving the matter in his son's hands.

After a certain period, the son finally reached his father, who was trying to cover up for his son's slight delay in some topics he found he couldn't discuss with just anyone, increasing his feeling of embarrassment. As soon as his son arrived, he asked the worker to leave them alone for some time.

As the worker was about to leave, he finally met with the young lord and heir of this family. The worker wanted to leave a good initial impression on the young man to facilitate his future dealings with him. However, as soon as he saw the anger in the young man's eyes, he decided to back off and postpone his plans until the young man's mood improved.

He knew that there was nothing more difficult than dealing with a mad person, especially a young man in a bad mood.

When the father was alone with his son and told him about the incident with the worker and his decision to leave the loan process to him, he waited for his son's opinion on that. Naturally, as expected, as soon as Doudrian heard his father's suggestion, he completely refused to engage in such a tiring task. Of course, the father expected such a response from his son and didn't see any problem with it.

If people knew how accepting the father was of his lazy and disobedient son's actions, they would think that there was a problem not only with the son but also with the father. Nevertheless, the father had his own logic in accepting his son's actions.

Due to his long experience, he knew that any person in the world, regardless of gender, good or evil, intelligent or foolish, strong or weak, would remain lazy unless driven by belief, goal, or motivating purpose to leave their laziness. Otherwise, they might not bother to make the slightest effort.

He had seen many examples, excluding himself. How many enthusiastic men had become lovers of sleep after losing their enthusiasm, And how many lazy individuals had become motivated when they saw that their comfort zone was being threatened.

Therefore, he was confident in saying that his son's actions were understandable, not strange to human nature. At least he could say that about laziness, not his other reprehensible traits.

And this was what was happening with his son. He was in his comfortable, stable zone with all his desires fulfilled. So now, he was in his original state, the state of laziness. And if his laziness wasn't threatened or he didn't benefit from abandoning it, like any ordinary person, he wouldn't do anything.

And if considering someone who acted diligently without reason as the strange and illogical one, according to the philosophy of the head of the household?

By following this logic, the father was aware of how to motivate his son to abandon his laziness, either by convincing him or forcing him if necessary. If his son lacked finding a reason to move, then his enthusiastic father would search for it and bring it to him.

Here came the role of carrot and stick. The father only had to entice his son with some benefits he would gain if he did what he was told, which was the carrot. As for the stick, it was represented by threatening his son with cutting some privileges he enjoyed, such as cutting off his daily allowance for two full weeks or forbidding him from eating alone and forcing him to eat with him and his mother. These two threats made Daudrian hesitate a little.

But what made him surrender to his father's command was the third threat... that he would cancel his membership in his favorite club, "All a real man needs is another man."..... Anyway, that was the name of the club.
