It Is Astounding How Many People Claim Him To Be 'another Evil Noble' Smh - Blog Posts

I've looked through your posts, but I didn't find the answer (I am stupid), so I'll ask you here.

You always analyze Milverton from the point if him being a commoner. Please, I want to know how and why you came to this conclusion (so I can convince my friends - that *is* a much more interesting reading than him being a noble).

Thanks!

Hi, thank you for the question! Yes, I never analyzed why I think that he is not a noble - because it is a FACT stated by the manga.

It literally mentions that Milverton is not the member of the nobility.

And he definitely wasn't born into some non-noble upper class family either - yes, this is now the theory field, but the hints to this are very strong.

Milverton talks about that he needs patrons and that he keeps his power and influence with blackmail. If he was from a notable family with a background influential on its own, he wouldn't need to do this, because his power would be well-established already. So his companies weren't some family heirloom, but something he himself gained with hard work (khm, blackmail).

When Jack, who served at noble households and who sure knew about every notable person in London due to this, talks about Milverton, the only information he has to tell that he is an influntial businessman but not a noble. If Milverton would have born into a high-class family which already had influence, he would surely mention that. And Albert mentions that he only met Milverton once in social conventions, which also means that Milverton's social circle is not that tied to the high-class aside from the business matters.

Both the Morigang's talk and Milverton talking about himself present him as a self-made man, not a lucky boy who now has a playground because his parents died and left him one. I have a longer analysis on Milverton's possible birth actually.

But back to your question, Milverton not being a noble is not my conclusion, but an actual fact.
