'Am I really doing this?'
Albert asked himself as he sat on the sofa inside Reynold's study. He was doubting his decision of storming into his brother's mansion after listening to some strangers words.
'What if it was all a lie?'
He couldn't help but doubt. Even until a week ago, he thought that Reynold hated him to the point of not even making eye contact with him. But to think that the boy was actually trying to protect him and his rights while harming his own image. It was simply unbelievable.
'I better go back.'
Albert stood up intending to leave the place but as he turned around, he came face to face with Reynold who also entered the room at that moment.
"Whoa.."
"Brother..."
Albert who was startled, and Reynold who had a poker face, looked at each other.

Reynold, who was also unable to control his expression in front of his brother, although he did complain everytime Albert visited, his words and actions were very different. They started having their lunch and dinner together since Albert would always barge in twice a day. Thrice sometimes as well.

One of the strongest figure in the country, someone with great authority and power.And someone like that was afraid. He, someone who had seen his fair share of battle in his lifetime, was afraid of mere kids and slaves bound by contracts.He was scared of Ian, the supposedly weak noble who was roaming inside that monster's den so freely as if he owned the place.And the thing he was most afraid of was their 'potential'. He couldn't even begin to imagine what would happen, what hell would break through if Ian utilised these people in the future.Ian could also sense something wrong with Reynold's expression as he stood up.

An Important Villain An Incurable Problem
As Ian was watching the kids and Albert have breakfast, he simply moved his spoon across his plate. "Are you not hungry, brother?" Asked Henry, noticing Ian's weird behaviour. It was weird indeed since he never played with his food like that. He was the type to always enjoy their food wholeheartedly. "Oh.. no.. I'm just waiting for someone." "Waiting...?" "For whom?" Asked the brother's as they looked at Ian. "Ash. He was supposed to come by now." Ash couldn't come with Ian because he was in the middle of his attribute training. Ian didn't forget to leave a note beside him, telling him to come to the mansion once he was done. 'And it's way past the time when he finishes his training.' Ian couldn't help but worry since he would always watch

How's your mother?""Father.. you're finally here."Ian saw Miller as a savior as he stood up from his seat. He felt like he could finally breathe within that suffocating atmosphere."What happened? How's your mother?"He said as he checked on Olivia. He was being very careful as he checked on her, clearly showing his care for her."You guys can leave now. Be on standby."Seeing Ian dismiss the doctor's, healers and even the servants, including Rob, emptying the whole room.

"This brat! He wants to take my energy?Seriously?!I didn't even have my breakfast yet! I'm hungry, you brat!"Ian complained as he tried to free his arm from Ash's grip. He could tell exactly what Ash was trying to do and even confirmed his hypothesis when he saw the black mist appearing around Ash's wrist.Ian put some strength into his legs and arm as he tried to break free but right then, Ash opened his eyes a bit more as he looked at him."Brother.. I'm hungry..."His eyes were shining golden as he said those words with a pitiful expression. Ian knew Ash wasn't in control of himself when he saw those reptilian golden eyes.'So unfair...'But since it was Ash nonetheless, he couldn't say no anymore.'Can't let the kid starve now, can I?'He tried t
An Important Villain Unconditional Trust
When Ian left the mansion, he only took two people with him. Arthur and Louis. It was a risky pair and his identity as Noah had risk of being found out, but this is something he needed. One was the protagonist, the centre of this world. Simply having him by Ian's side would make Ian a part of the original timeline. It would also increase his chances of finding a cure. Another was Louis, a character who wasn't supposed to exist. Someone who defied the reality of the novel. Similarly, he increased the chances of things that are not related to the novel to occur. 'Although it's all about probability, but this should work.' Ian decided to go to the buddhist temple first. His plan was to visit the temple of each gods and have a conversation with them. At least one of them is bound to know something about the cure. "I'm sorry.

I'll start the preparation right away."He bowed and left."What about Ash?"Ian flinched slightly as Miller suddenly brought up Ash's name into the conversation."He's in my room."Ian didn't want too much of Miller's attention to shift on Ash so his answer was short and precise. He knew Miller meant no harm to Ash but he also knew how humans were.

Knock knock.Ian woke up to the familiar knocking sound on his door. Even without asking, he knew it was Rob."Come in."He wondered what happened for Rob to wake him up so early in the morning as he looked at Rob for an answer."The people duke to confirm the location of the island sent are back. He's asking for you.""Really?! Okay! I'll be there ina second."Ian sprang up from bed, washed his face and put on a simple outfit before hurriedly running off to Miller's room."Father!
