When when they were done with their belated lunch, even after Steve left, Ash kept glancing at Ian every few seconds. And he was being very obvious this time. Ian's back was stinging all over from the continuous stares he was receiving as he headed to bed. "Come here." Ian said as he signalled Ash to sit beside him as he plopped down on the bed. When Ash was within his arms reach, he lifted his arm and ruffled the boys hair. It always calmed him down to an extent. "I'm sorry. For worrying you and making you wait." He said as he kept ruffling Ash's hair. The boy flinched when Ian apologized and lowered his head. To someone like Ash, trusting someone was a very difficult thing to do. And he only had Ian to rely on, in this vast, cruel world. Ian's existence to him was something similar to what oxygen is for humans. Ian knew that as well since he also went through situations like that. So he was apologizing right now for making Ash feel insecure. 'I should make him spend some time wit

"So they've arrived?" Ian asked folding his arms, sitting on his bed like a king, which he clearly wasn't. He was talking to Corner who came to shower him with good news one after another. The first one was him getting stronger and taking the first step towards becoming a grandmaster, which was more than enough to make Ian's day better. The second was that the teacher's Ian invited for the purpose of training the beast people had arrived. They were finally here. Ian was overjoyed when he heard the news, but kept his composure outwardly. "Yes. They've all arrived and are waiting for you in the mansion." Corner replied, curiosity visible on his face. Ian wondered why people of this world was so curious about everything, specially anything he did. Noah, who was tired of being on the spotlight, felt a little uncomfortable anytime something like this happened. He didn't want to entertain this knight of him so early in the morning so he simply nodded his head and ignored Corner's curiou

"Young Master!" Rob shouted as he grabbed Ian's arm and tried to pull him up. "What? Why? What's wrong?" Ian asked, confused as he tried to stop Rob from pulling him up. He wanted to get this over with at once. He thought it'd be enough on his part if he apologized like that. After all, it wasn't a crime he commited himself. "Still.. You shouldn't kneel like that." "Hey.. Wasn't it you who said that I was bothering her for years just yesterday? Then isn't it only proper that I apologize properly?" Ian asked while frowning, he didn't understand this butlers double personality. Just the night before, he was looking at Ian with scorn filled eyes. And now that Ian was trying to save his neck by not making an enemy out of a strong person, he was stopping Ian as if his life depended on it. 'What the fuck does this old man want?!' Ian felt frustrated realising he wouldn't be able to satisfy Rob no matter what he did. To someone like him, even curing his eyes won't be enough to

Noah, who was now in possession of Ian's body, was facing a serious predicament right now. It was definitely one of the top ten crisises he had ever faced in his life.More than a dozen eyes were all focused on him, feelings of jealousy and betrayal visible in their gazes. And the criminal who was behind his poor situation was making a proud expression on his face as he humphed.'What the hell-'"World tour?""Brother, you're going on a trip?""Where will you go?""Just the two of you?""Sounds fun..""Will you visit lots of fun places?""I'm jealous.""Me too..."The kids around him all had hunched shoulders and sad expressions on their faces as they sighed or shook their heads.'Is this a new method of blackmail? Why is it so effective?!'Ian scanned their expression one by one as he wondered. He definitely planned on touring the world alone at first. That was definitely the plan. But right now he wasn't so sure anymore."Don't say it like that, everyone. I'm sure brother has importa

"Why are my ears so itchy?"Ian wondered who was it that kept talking behind his back as he lay flat on the bed. There was a list of people in his previous world that'd be glad now that he was gone.''No.. It'd be too long even for a list.."He looked back and wondered what kind of life he was leading to get to this point, but after thinking about it for a while, he concluded that it wasn't too bad of a life either.Knock knock."Young Master, the carriage is ready."Ian stood up slowly as he let the voice sink in. It was the day when he was going to check the shops that his father had bought for him, at a high price on top of that. He decided to visit the shops in the evening since that'd attract less attention from the public.He came out of the mansion being escorted by Corner and the other three knights including Arthur and they boarded a very plain and simple looking carriage, unlike any carriage that
