When Lance was young, the Empire where he lived was torn by war, and he lost his family while fleeing as a refugee.
At that time, Lance was just over five years old, having to dig up grass roots to eat, and also having to guard against humans and wild beasts eating him. At that time, humans were no different from wild beasts; everyone was so hungry that they could eat each other.
Arriving at a large city, Lance mingled with the beggars, hoping to beg for a bite to eat, and was beaten half to death by the older beggars many times.
At the age of ten, Lance heard that Count Cornic's family needed to hire a young boy to serve the young master. He used all his savings to rent an expensive tailored suit, bathed cleanly and groomed himself neatly, then bought a fake identity document, making up a clean background for himself to apply for the job.
