"and.."
The chief healer tried to continue.
"There's more?"
Ian raised an eyebrow.
"Yes.. more of.. I'm not exactly sure what.. "
He replied in a confused voice.
"You don't know?"
Miller asked. The confusing conversation between Ian, the chief healer and Miller left everyone inside the room confused and curious.
The chief healer was one of the most skilled person in the entire kingdom. The only reason he wasn't setting up his own association or institute and instead serving the Dicarious family was due to gratitude.
Miller was someone who could easily be hailed as a hero, and was actually hailed as one of the greatest person's in not only the kingdom but the entire continent.
And in his lifetime, the number of people he has saved, rescued or helpe
Miller and Olivia came into Ian's room late at night. Accompanying them were the healers and medics of the mansion.When Ian wondered about their reason for arrival, Miller expressed his worries about Ian's health and requested that he let them do a thorough checkup on him.Ian came to know that the original Adrian hated doctors and healers and would hardly ever agree to getting treated by them."It's fine. You can go ahead."Ian gave his permission and the chief of the healing team came forward. Ian saw the familiar face and recalled the first time he opened his eyes to this world.'Feels a little nostalgic.'So much time had already passed. Noah had no one back then. The only thing he could count on was his knowledge about this world.And now, he was surrounded by people. To the extent that he barely had an

"These are...""Your familiars.. hmm..""Oh my! Are they the kids that came out of those eggs?!"As Miller and the chief healer contemplated over the situation, Olivia looked surprised and happy to see the three kids.She came forward and started observing them with eyes full of curiosity and sparkle. Seeing how eager she was while observing them, Ian gave them the signal to approach Olivia.Canis, who was lazily resting in Ian's arm, raised his head and looked back towards Olivia after receiving Ian's signal. Although he was the least active and calmest member of the trio, he was also the one with the most maturity."You can touch them."As Canis offered his head forward, Ian gave Olivia the signal she was waiting for. As she saw how Canis closed his eyes, she couldn't help but place her hands on his head.
"I came out to take a walk. It's stuffy inside."Ian said while stretching. He was feeling stiff after staying inside the underground prison for a long time."You were taking a walk?"Seeing Corner's constipated expression, Ash frowned and asked again."That's right."Ian moved slightly and blocked Corner from their view. That guy was too bad at lying so Ian took it upon himself to cover for him."What about you guys? All of you together, did something happen?"Ian asked as he started walking once again. He had to go back to his bedroom before the people in front of him made even a bigger fuss."Nothing happened.""It was a coincidence."Arthur and Ash replied simultaneously. Seeing the villain hero pair in such sync, Ian had a weird feeling in his stom
"Monster..? .... Me?" Ian pointed towards himself. Miller turned his head around in shock after realising that Ian was right behind him and had heard the whole thing. And not just Miller, everyone present there had the same reaction when they became aware of Ian's presence. Ian wondered what was going on as he approached Miller and the Second Prince. Since it was an event outside of the original storyline, Ian felt a little uneasy. "Son.. why'd you come out.. I'll handle this so you can go inside and rest." Miller looked troubled and worried about Ian as he tried to shield him from the Prince. "Cedric? Why are you here? And what's all this commotion about?" Albert also approached them from behind and tried to understand what was going on. Since Ian's family was one that was loyal to the Kingdom and the King
"Wow.. How convenient.."Ian looked amazed as he heard the Second Prince, Prince Cedric spout nonsense. Seeing his unbothered expression, Prince Cedric frowned in displeasure."What do you mean by convenient?"He asked."I mean, the fact that they willingly surrendered and revealed my name, specifically, like that.. Sounds a little unnatural, no?"Ian couldn't help but laugh at how absurd the whole thing sounded. Anyone with the least bit rationality left in them would find a situation like this suspicious.But the fact that the second prince wasn't questioning the situation made him look suspicious instead, at least to Ian."That is obviously a lie."Corner protested from the side. And Miller joined in."As you may have learned from the reports I sent, my son has bee
"You're going this way."Cedric beckoned Ian. Miller was going to have an audience with the King to get an explanation for his absurd Royal Order while Ian was to be sent to the room where he will stay for the next three days."Sure."Ian had his hands in his pocket and was walking in a leisurely manner. No way did he look like a person who was accused of treason, the worst crime in the Kingdom's dictionary."Son..."Miller had a pained look as he looked at Ian. Thinking about having to let Ian go through another bad experience after he has endured so much already made Miller feel frustrated."I'm counting on you, father. Make sure you get me out of here in three days. I have a lot of work left to do."Ian gave him an energetic look and then headed off to the other direction. And the moment Ian left, the te
The trial begun.The Second Prince had his men stand against Ian and list out all of his past deeds one by one. The Adrian of the past had caused a lot of trouble and made enemy out of many people.And although he wasn't the only one to blame, since you can't clap with one hand, the other party's were presented as victims or less guilty.But Ian wasn't listening. He wasn't paying any attention to what the second prince's men were speaking at all.The only thing within his focus was how Miller and Olivia either had their head hung low or how they were avoiding making eye contact with Ian.'Why...are they acting like that?'Ian couldn't understand. He couldn't understand why his parents, the very people who had their eyes full of love and concern for him even three days ago, now looked at him with those expressions.
