Inside the mansion, all the beastmen were gathered at one place at Corner's order. They all looked uncomfortably at each other and the guards as they stood quietly. Many of them were unconsciously searching for something as they looked around. A guard informed Corner when everyone had arrived. This 'everyone' naturally didn't include the kids Ian had took in from the sewer. They were still in the process of resting and healing. Corner walked at the center of the crowd. When he saw their listlessness, he felt like he knew what they were searching for. "The young master is in the garden right now. He has sent a video communication device along with a mage as he had promised before." Derek came out from the back as he was mentioned. Corner continued since there were no reply from anyone which he had expected. "The young master also gave his permission to meet with your family or dear one's if they ever came to visit you here. " The hall suddenly buzzed when another one of Ian's unexp

After another hour or so, Ian was finally done learning the basics of the basic etiquettes of this world. He looked like a human skeleton with one foot at the grave when Rob left. "Are you okay?" Ash peeked at his face before he asked. "It's difficult... Why are the high societies so complicated?" 'Who would've thought 'The weather is kind of hot today' meant I was making them uncomfortable and that I should take my leave??? Who the fuck came up with these stupid lines?!' "Aren't you also a noble?" "Haha.. Right, ain't I?" Ian plopped down on the bed as he answered. It was silent for a long time before small footsteps could be heard as someone carefully came near the bed. Ian raised his head to look at Ash who was standing in front of him. "Do you need something?" "Here." "?" Ian looked at the hand stretched in front of him. He was holding a lemon tart in his hand. "For me?" A vigorous nod was the reply to his question. He took the tart from Ash's hand and took a bite

Ian was still confused and bewildered by the fact that prince Albert, his favourite character in the novel shared the same facial structure as El, his deceased brother. Memories buried deep inside were trying to resurface, ignoring all will of their master as Ian clenched his fist tightly. He wanted to act rationally, and to do that, he needed to find a reason, a reason to calm his mind, to distruct him. And to his fortune, that reason quickly presented himself behind him. "Pfft. Is that so? You're fine even after such a huge fall?" "Young master Adrian's persistence really is no joke. We all should learn from him." "I thought so as well. Pfft." Ian looked at the bunch of noble kids behind him with an irritated expression. He was in no mind to entertain them right now but they did indeed serve as a distraction. Seeing Ian keeping silent, the other's thought that they had successfully angered him and that he'd snap at any moment now. "Young master Adrian?" Ian was about to answ

•Stupid brat. Lend me your body for a moment. 'What the...no..who? How? Why?' Ian had a lot to ask to the owner of the voice inside his head but he was too surprised to form a proper question. While he was still confused by the wings, his body suddenly started moving on it's own. He turned around and raised one hand towards the huge beast in front of him. A huge flame the shape of a Phoenix came out of his palm and shot towards the beast at the speed of light. Soon, the huge beast along with the smaller ones behind it were all covered in a violent flame as they screamed and growled in pain. The wings on his back flapped as he shot towards the second of the three beasts. Seeing him flying towards them, the beasts, without a second thought turned around and started running away. They were scared. All this happened within a few moments. The people worried about the prince, the knights worried about their master, the nobles worried about

After taking a long and refreshing bath, Ian finally felt alive. He thought about the unknown voice and power but couldn't figure it out. Even someone like him, who knew the ending of the novel had no idea about this strange and overpowering existence. He decided to investigate about it on his own later and stopped thinking about it. 'Can't think since I'm so hungry!' When he came back to his room, a delicious meal was waiting for him inside. Ash was waiting for him since they always ate dinner together. His expression still didn't look good. Ian sat across him and flicked his forehead with his finger. "Ow!" "Why are you making that expression?" "...Are you okay?" "Me? Are you worried about me?" "Mm. It looked like it hurt." "Thanks but it really didn't hurt that much. As I said before, it was just an ugly looking wound." "I don't like getting hurt." "I know. Nobody likes getting hurt. Since I decided to take care of you, I'll make sure you never get hurt. It's a promise." I
