"Morning preparations begin at dawn so please wake up and be neatly prepared before that. We will be on standby after that until the princess wakes up. I will dress and groom the princess in another room while you clean and organize the bed."
"Yes"
Ugh, I prefer working in the field. Exercising would be harder now. My training montage will also be harder to do because of this.

"After the princess is prepared we will escort her to the breakfast table where she and her royal queen will have a private breakfast by themselves. It's their bonding time so no servants need be present. We will take a quick breakfast at that time. After that is morning practice with CQC, Dance, Etiquette and magic. Before noon the princess will take a bath where I will accompany her, you will guard the door. Take this ring, it glows red when I activated my ring, it means that the princess is in danger. Signal the nearby guards stationed at every door to help us at once. At lunch, there will be a lunch meeting with various noble ladies so the princess can learn to socialize and solidify connections to various noble houses. During practice we will also participate."
"we will learn magic?"
That's great but can we really learn it as easily as that? No strings attached?

"Hmm, of course we will. The princess is learning it as precaution in case she is separated from her guards. In strolls and public events the guards is the first defense, next is the royal guards and we as the last line. We won't be as strong as the royal guards so we learn magic and combat techniques to delay as much as possible. Do you expect for the princess to learn it so she could protect us servant?"
So we are basically an extra life for the princess in an emergency. I get it already so stop glaring your eyes are glowing, are you going to fire a beam at me?

"In the afternoon, after another bath, the princess will have tutors to teach her various subjects, it changes by the day of the month so please look at the schedule for the specific. If the princess finishes early she will take a stroll through the garden or hunt some animals in the forest outside."
"Do we also Learn and Hunt?"
"We don't need to learn the various subjects that the princess is learning since we don't need it. We will also join the princess in hunting however we will stay close to the princess and make guarding her a priority."
"...yes"
I wonder how many soldier will be in hiding surrounding us in the forest when hunting? Would they take random animals injure them slightly and release them in the direction of the princess so she could 'hunt' properly?

"We will return to the castle before dawn, the princess will take another bath and have an evening meal with queen, another bonding moment for them so no servants again. We will use that time to eat a heavy meal to make up for not eating during noon. At night we will accompany the princess at her leisure hour until she falls asleep, where we will also sleep. Understand?"
"Yes!"
what a full schedule. I can't believe I have to accompany this kind of person. My schedule in the prison is more lax than this.

"Please accept this crystal, with that you will get the butler class. This class let's you easily learn skills to help your master, which in this case is the princess. This butler class is a class remade by the 2nd hero Scholar tom as a combat-support class. I don't know high a lever you can reach in five years but please devote yourself to aid the princess."
"A crystal gives a class?"
"You don't even know that? Are you from the mountain tribes? Yes, crystals like this drops from monsters in Dungeons."
"Dungeons?"
"Find out for yourself. It might come up in one of the lessons of the princess. Do you understand your duties now?"
"Yes"
She doesn't follow a script like the ones in the prison. When I get out I need to dungeon dive to build up some money then live a safe life farming and being self-sufficient. Only at that time can I live without the burden of these chains.

Now how do I activate this crystal?
"How do I activate this crystal?"
"Channel mana into it the same way you activate your Status Card."
Uwaah, that look you are giving me weakens my existence by half, please stop it.

I activated my status card countless times hoping to see a change during my stay at the prison, nothing changed though. My meditation made me think I had to call the surrounding mana into my body but to think I need to push it from inside me. It should be a normal misunderstanding since there is no such thing as mana in earth, that should dictate that my body is devoid of mana. Yes, its normal to misunderstand, no shame about it.

Class: Butler (Slave) *Hidden*

Second class get! This should mean I can get some active skills now.
"What should I do now?"
"With the kindness of her highness you are awarded rest since you have just finished work in the field. Use this reward to clean yourself and familiarize with the work of a butler. Here is a book made by 2nd hero from the 'how to' series, it should teach you basics in how to act, serve and fight as a butler. Please review them in your room. I shall show you the way."

Do butlers really fight? This is a fantasy and it is made by the previous heroes so they might have tweaked it into their anime model butler. Is it the steel-wire using butler or the one who holds 8 daggers in both hands?

Finally on my way to the castle, Somehow its unfair that I and the knights have to walk while the princess and her maid use a carriage but they will pay me at the end so I won't mind such small inconvenience. This castle sure is big, I thought the farm is near since I could see it from there but its just outrageously big. You did too much hero.

The inside is shiny too, I feel that the armours in the hallways is not only for decoration, they moved to capture me when I entered the front door afterall. Easy on the bones please, Even if I look solid now its still on a level of flesh and blood you metal armours are still too hard for me.

"We need you registered as staff or the golems will attack you. Please put your hand on this tablet."
Miss Maid, if you knew something like this will happen please inform me sooner!!
....
Finally done escorting the princess to her room, now I can look at my new room. I doubt it would be as big as my solo sweet cabin home but at least be a solo room. I don't want to live in a communal butler room.

"Here is your room, My room is the one beside it. We are near the princess' room in case she ever needs us."
next door huh, Its only temporary so its okay. The interior is not as big as my sweet cabin but its at least a master room in size. With its own bathroom.

"Well then, I have to attend to the princess so please familiarize yourself with your duties and be helpful to the princess from tomorrow on."
There she goes, never mind her I just need to survive another 5 years and I am free. Now what did you write in this butler book hero.

[Butler] a super class who performs each task to perfection. Whether you are a young bishounen overflowing with charisma or an old dandy ojiisan with a dangerous pass this class will meet every fetish an anime fan has! From serving tea to squashing evil syndicates this book will teach you everything you need to do.

That hero really went all out....
