A week has passed after the incident. Since then, there are many noticable changes happened to Cossette.Like for example, when were training.From before, once Cossette finished her demonstration, she doesn't repeat it afterwards. Because of this, I would always need a pen and a note to write down all of her explanation in paper. This was also one of the main reason why I planned the incident in the first place.Honestly, even though I've done this many times on my past life, I still couldn't get use to this feeling whenever I tried to manipulate someone else emotions. It always gives me a bitter taste after I finished.Now, then. Continuing back to my explanation. After the incident, instead of leaving me behind like she used to do, she would always stay by my side for a few hours just to make sure I managed to grasp to her explanation. Thanks to this, my training rapidly boosted than the past before the incident.As of now, she was teaching me how to use my darkness crest to attra

"Well then, let's head inside."Opening the door of the shop, I let Cossette and my little sister go inside first before following them behind.Since Cossette will leave the mansion next week, my mother ordered me to come along, with my little sister for the last time before Cossette left.Right where I was about to close the door to the shop, I suddenly heard a voice, with an irked tone, talking to the shop owner from behind me."What did you say?!"Turning around slightly, I glanced at the blonde fatso, who was currently arguing with the shop owner, before turning my attention back to where my sister and Cossette are in."As I said, even if you ordered now, it won't be ready for the Academy's Entrance Ceremony."The girl who replied to him was none other than the shop owner. Hearing this, the fatso noble pointed his finger towards the girl before saying."Well, do something about it!! I'll have you know that I am from the house of Viscount Fleed!! Are you going going to shoulder the

"Huuu..."Fixing my collar properly, I let out a long sigh of relief after I got out from the dark guild base."Damn, that was scary..."It hasn't been long since I got out from the base and now I'm starting to sweat buckets. Even though it worked out perfectly as planned, there's still a possibility of some things getting out of hand if I ever failed to make a bit of connections with the Dark Guild."For our next step is..."Raising those children that they would never betray the Lohengramm even if using some method like using their own parents against them.In other words, I'll raise them to become my most loyal servant...Though, that is easier to be said than to be done. It'll probably take a year or so before I could fully gain their trust, enough to make them as my loyal servants."Honestly, this is really troublesome... But it was really worth it."Why you ask...? Because first of all, I gained some merit or connections that I could use in the future when dealing with problems

"Haaa..."Slowly opening my eyes, I noticed that my head was resting onto the blonde elf woman's shoulder. Raising my head slightly, I turned my head all around to see if we're there yet."Ema.""Hmm?"Looking at me with a confused expression, she tilted her head to the side before asking."Yes?"Letting out a sigh, I shook my head."No... It's nothing."I leaned my head to the window while looking at the field outside.'Future, huh...'As I thought of that, I suddenly remembered something about what the man said nine years ago.***It was a few months before Celestia was about to give birth to our son, Athan, when that person appeared.With white hair, and red eyes, the man in front of me held a small hourglass on his hands. With his clothes that look like from a different era, he gave me an amiable smile."I see that you're here earlier than expected.""Who are you?"While playing with the hourglass using his fingers, he let out a chuckle before answering."You can call me 'End'. Al

Two days has passed after I left the mansion. And these two days, nothing pretty much happened as I continued travelling through the forest.While I was in the carriage, I felt bored so I decided to train my stamina.After hopping through the trees to practice my stamina for a couple of minutes, it wasn't long before I spotted something at the distance."A carriage, huh..."I muttered to myself while placing my fingers to my chin. The carriage had a lion crest on the side representing the Imperial Royalties. The soldiers outside that was meant to protect the prince, was only numbered as 10 in total, including the driver.Then, while I was looking at the carriage, I decided to spread my mana onto the surroundings to check if someone was preparing to ambush it.'I see... 30 bandits in total.'Like what I've been expecting, there were a big number of bandits trying to ambush it.In other words, they are surely doomed.Although the soldiers guarding the carriage was strong, the bandit's
