Life Of Marquess Adopted Son

Chapter 2: New Life (2)

"What do you mean marquess?"

Myru wiped her lips with a napkin and looked at the Marquess.

Next to the Marquess, a woman with lustrous pink hair who still looked beautiful at around 40 years old replied.

"Why are you dressed like that?"

From the looks of it, the clothes Myru was using at this time were inappropriate for nobles. Of course, he ordered Ben to change his clothes immediately with the plainest clothes, besides that the materials used were not high-quality materials making the color of his clothes like a commoner.

That loaded Marquiss and Marquise stared at her son, wondering what sort of thoughts and ideas her son was going through...

"Don't act strangely, we won't lift your punishment for going out.

Just stay inside the mansion and don't go anywhere, wherever you go all sorts of trouble keeps popping up. In addition to your age this year being 18 years old, why do you continue to act childishly and even get drunk ruining the public buildings and businesses that should be guarded by us? You're banned from going out for a month, take note of that."

Myru nodded in understanding, so it was like that...

The body he was currently in was that of a troublemaker that neither the March residence nor the people liked.

Myru put the deep-fried leeks into her mouth and chewed slowly, a smile now appearing on his lips.

"Thank you, Marquiss. But do not worry too much, I was not part of your son after all and will not be part of leading this place." That casual remark caused the Marquess, the Marquise, her younger twin brother to stare at Myru with widened eyes unable to believe what he had just heard.

'I was worried about what my life would be like and what kind of work I would be given if I were in the troublesome noble class, but....'

just from the way the workers saw him and immediately avoided him, Ardika knew that this boy was quite troubled.

Then... no matter how everyone looked at him, just one look and they could all tell that Myru was not their real son.

Although his face was handsome, it was very different from the handsomeness of his younger brother and the dashing Marquess. Her face did not even resemble Marquise's mother at all. He was the only one with brown hair and eyes, among people with easily glossy pink hair and beautiful silver eyes.

Furthermore, she seemed to know where she was at the moment. Velreidom and the Kingdom of Hex

The family name he knew. No wonder the name sounded so familiar to his ears.

"What did you say?"

"But I still apologize. It was an immature act for me to make you guys solve my problem, for the following month... I will stay here and do nothing at all"

It was the same name as the novel The Demon King's Succumbing Journey that he read when he was an Arditian.

The book that he accidentally found in the library while looking for references for his assignment caught his attention.

At first the book didn't catch his interest because the title seemed 'ordinary' but after he read it out of boredom... the book became his favorite book.

It started with the main character Colim who came to request help because people who were considered family were killed just like that.

How could he forget?

Though it's not clearly explained, he remembers a few paragraphs saying

"Marquiss's adopted son ended up with broken bones after triggering Colin's emotions and making the sadness of the death of his closest person an insult."

...it seemed like he was been adopted.

'The real Myru! What did you say to make that MC almost kill you?!'

Not only that, but shortly after that incident, there was a malignant creature that came out of nowhere after destroying the Marquess of Velreidom. Several casualties fell, including Marquess' family. But the place was saved after Colim came to help on orders from the kingdom.

Although he didn't want to think so, Ardian had thoughts that the victim was him. The reason was that he was no longer mentioned after the incident at all.

" You're not fibbing?"

"Otherwise, why would I give up all the tailoring I love and choose to wear attire unbecoming of a noble like me? I am truly sorry."

Not only changing knickknacks, Myru also changed her clothes.

Clothes that were not suitable for noble people like her to wear, even so, her face and aura were still noble.

"I promise not to leave here until my time limit expires."

"You'd better keep your word." Myru's lips lifted slightly.

"Of course, Marquess."

Showing off his wide smile. "Why are you doing that, young master?" Ben, who was changing his young master's clothes, asked.

Myru could see that his servant's smile was full and a curious gaze was aimed at him. Ben moved quickly, he nimbly and meticulously replaced his young master's clothes with the daily clothes that Master Myru was used to.

"Don't put on jewelry, I should at least appear like a punished person." Ben who had just picked up a piece of jewelry for the arm area shook his head.

"You're still the young master of the Vereidom family. I don't want anyone to look down on you just because you're currently being punished."

With that, Ardika only watched as her servant Ben put on and straightened his clothes.

“I don't understand why they gave me such a light sentence. For an adopted son like me, they should just throw me away if I'm useless."

'Please don't say that, it makes my heart hurt if young master thinks like that. However, the young master still carries the blood of Velreidom whatever happens."

From the explanation, he got from Ben. Myru did indeed have Velreidom blood. Her mother was the older sister of Marko Velreidom who died when Myru was 10 years old.

Since then, Marko Velreidom brought Myru to his residence and adopted his nephew. But the child he adopted kept causing trouble. Making chaos, quarreling, and fighting with other nobles. The worst thing he ever did was steal the Velreidom family's liquor and get so drunk that he ruined half of the Marck mansion.

This happened when Marko Velredom and Belle Velreidom took their biological child to the paladin for a blessing.

Myru, who refused to go, ended up all alone in the mansion and began to run amok. It gave the parents a headache after they returned home.

" Why? I am indeed a useless child in Velreidom." In fact, this position made him happy.

He could have fun and play contentedly.

Borrowing the name 'useless son of the Marquess' Myru could do whatever he wanted. Living as a wealthy noble with no responsibilities was fun.

Well, at least not until the lead actor Colim comes here. I've already felt how painful it is to be beaten let alone with broken bones. We should use this opportunity to build a better relationship with the protagonist and get him to work together to avoid the monster attack that will destroy the marquess's domains and prevent his death.
