"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
Among the twelve people that Ian invited, Robert was the one who was more talented than the others, in all category. He was even selected to be the third prince's teacher in the past, but due to a certain 'accident', lost the kings favour. Losing the kings favour was equivalent to getting the death penalty. You'd lose all your social status, nobles of all faction will avoid or scorn you and their live would become miserable. The others also had similar experiences with powerful nobles or aristocrats in the past. They were all people who were rejected by the noble society and had their once bright future destroyed and thrown to the bottom. And right now, they were all gathered together, at the dining table of the mansion that belonged to Adrian, one of the famous trashes of the kingdom, who had enough power not to give a fuck about others. Their situation was such a contrast to each other that it only made them feel more miserable. But still, they
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
At the first prince's palace.Prince Albert was sitting on his chair with his face leaning on his hand. He was thinking. For the last few days, the first prince's palace has been on a total uproar. The first reason was obviously his awakening, which caused a wave not only inside his palace but throughout the whole country.Specially inside the nobles of the kingdom. Some were pulling out their hair in frustration while some threw celebration parties. Of course there were those who stayed neutral as always, like the Dicarious duchy, and those that were trying to take advantage of the chaos, like the DOD guys.And the second reason, which was very private and only limited between the people under the first prince, was the sudden activeness that the prince was showing. It wasn't anything grand like declaring was against the third prince or anything. It was something relatively simple, at least from first prince Albert's view. He wanted to know more abou
"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
Ian, who exchanged his extra spicy chicken chili with Arthur in an attempt to improve his mode, was very successful. After that day, just like in the novel, Arthur became a huge fan of spicy food and would always happily exchange his dishes with Ian's whenever they ate outside. But that's a story for later.Currently, Ian was in the middle of a serious meeting with Rob. Actually, it was only him who thought the meeting was serious. He was planning on persuading Rob to help him with new construction plans that he had for those shops. And he thought it'd be quite difficult since the plans he had in mind would look unreasonable to Rob.SLAM!Ian slammed his hand on top of the table where papers were laid out detailing about his plan."-so, as I was saying, I know this doesn't make sense, but that's what I want."He ended his sentence with that as he waited for Rob's judging gaze and disapproving reply. But there wasn't.
Clap clap clap"Wow. That was impressive!""You improved so much since the last time, man! I'm jealous.""That was great. I couldn't find any opening the whole time."The junior knights and the seniors, including Corner himself, all praised Arthur as he showed off his progress. It looked like a scene from a novel where the protagonist was being acknowledged by his colleagues or peers.'Really. So novel like..'Ian, who was resting his chin on his palm, sighed as he watched the main character bask in glory. He was literally shining, well, it was the sun, but anyway! Ian liked scenes like these where Arthur got the recognition that he deserved. But now that it was happening in real life-'So cringey..'He could feel goosebumps rising on his arm as he tried not to think like that. And since he had no intention of ruining the moment for Art, he kept silent throughout the whole time, erasing his presence li
"You actually came."Arthur said as he looked at the robed individual in front of him. He came here with the worst possible outcome in mind so he was actually relieved when someone finally appeared. But the person in front of him, they gave off an weird aura. Arthur, who had honed his skills to the maximum when it came to judging a person or their strength level at least, he couldn't figure out the robed man's level.'He looks weak but what's this sense of danger?'That's what Arthur was feeling from the person in front of him. The eyes hidden within the mask curved up in a smile as he replied."Of course, can't keep my hero waiting, can I?"Arthur, who couldn't figure out if the voice was a male or a female due to it's neutral tone, frowned when he heard what the Robed guy said."Your hero?"He asked back, displeasure visible on his face."Mhm. Now then, shall we go inside?"Ian asked
