As soon as my focus was brought back to him, I instantly recognized the look of bewilderment on his face, which was evidenced by the way his brows were drawn together almost exactly in the middle of his temple. Even with that expression, Reagan managed to maintain an attractive appearance.I'll bet that this guy has a lot of ladies swooning over him right now. If it weren't for the fact that men aren't high on my list of priorities, I might actually give some thought to developing feelings for someone like Reagan. However, if we were to meet at a different time and place, one in which I wouldn't have to be concerned about exacting my vengeance or fearing for my life, then I probably wouldn't give it much thought at all.Who wouldn't fall for Reagan, seeing as how he has devoted his entire life to ensuring the well-being of my clan, and more specifically of my family? I am aware that I am temporarily inhabiting Claudette's body, and that Claudette's family is not mine; despite this, th
Every time they insist on having those guards, it gets on my nerves. It's almost as if they are announcing to the world that I am being held captive in this mansion. But on some level, I am fully aware of the reason why they were so eager to coerce me into having those security guards follow me around at all times. As far as I can tell, it's for my own good. But didn’t they know that I will be with Reagan today? Knowing that Reagan is on the line might help them relax a bit, but even if that were the case, their concerns for my safety remain unfounded."I will be with Reagan, and I'm sure that he won't let anything bad happen to me while I'm with him. To put your minds at ease, the two of you can be certain that I will return whole to this mansion. Alright?” I told them as I dragged Reagan outside with me before the other two could have even had another opportunity to try to stop us from leaving.I stopped waiting for them to respond because I already knew that whatever they said wou
I stopped waiting for them to respond because I already knew that whatever they said would only be an attempt to convince us to remain where we were. This is also something that I am partly to blame for, I know. If I hadn't been so irresponsible as to move around on my own right from the start, they wouldn't have been forced to consider hiring additional security personnel in order to ensure that I remained safe.Recent events have brought to my attention the fact that Julius Silverstone's last will and testament has already been carried out after he passed away as a result of the car accident. Klen and Taylor were both named as my new guardian in my late grandfather's will, which stated that they would serve in that capacity until I reached the age of twenty-one. At this point in time, it would appear that Claudette is still in her twenties. This came as quite a surprise to me because I had assumed that she was already in her thirties. I was wrong about her age because she seems muc
On the 24th day of the third spring month,Year of the prosperous era of DizenciaAfter the extravagant procession of carriages that decorated the rough and rocky streets of Dizencia, colorful fireworks blasted across the night sky like a blazing banner. A newly wed royal couple were said to be on their way from the Bellroyal Cathedral, which made the crowd begin to cheer and rejoice in anticipation of their arrival. Also, the lengthy procession was held in honor of the Earl of the Kingdom, whose presence had been eagerly anticipated by everyone, especially after his recently infamous victory. This spectacular procession was held in honor of the wedding and raid victory of Vandread Le Crozerea, a legendary earl who was said to have been summoned all the way from a parallel universe that lies beyond Dizencia's reach called "Earth"."A toast to the legendary earl, Vandread Le Crozerea, the savior of our kingdom and to his blessed marriage to my only daughter, Princess Camilla." Inviti
Moments later, Princess Camilla opened the door to find Grand Healer Larys standing there, holding a small ceramic bottle on an aluminum tray.“What brings you to our chambers, grand healer?” the princess asked.“I came for the tonic you asked for, your highness.” “Right. I almost forgot. I'm glad it’s already done. Come inside, grand healer.” She replied. Not too much time passed before the princess flung open the door to let the great healer into their chamber.“Ah...if it isn’t the grand healer who has interrupted my claimancy to Dizencia’s most valued treasure.” When the earl saw the grand healer, who had made his way all the way into their chambers, he gave a very sarcastic response.Vandread, who was completely naked in the presence of the great healer, walked over to the closest table and helped himself to another glass of wine. He held the wine cup in his left hand and looked up at the grand healer, smiling as he waited for an answer.“Apologies, but I was tasked with bringin
Once Vandread realized what kind of hideous creature stood before him, his eyes widened with surprise. He couldn't believe such a creature had shown up at this time, when he was too weak to even wield the wooden branch effectively as a weapon.“What a perfect timing for an ugly ogre to appear of all time.” He muttered.Even though he was aware that ogres were roaming the area, he had maintained the hope that he would not come across any of them while he was here. However, it would appear that fate was playing a cruel joke on him, as it appears that he did come across one of the Ogres while he was here.“Hey, do you have anything to help me?” Vandread tried to reach the system that had been talking to him.‘I have already instructed you on what it is that is necessary for you to do. It was necessary for you to acquire the knowledge necessary to make use of the hirudyneas in order to awaken the latent power that you possess.’The response provided by the system was so straightforward;
The ogres, who grunted in unison, had a significant numerical advantage over Vandread. They all looked at him as if he were the next piece of fresh meat that they were going to have for dinner. However, Vandread was not going to sit there and passively watch them take him down so easily..As best he could, he attempted to use his own strength to regain his footing. He intended to return and completely wipe them out this time. It makes no difference to him whether or not taking such action would result in actually letting the kingdom of Dizencia know that he was still alive.He wanted to prove these hideous creatures that he was far superior amongst them. And that they don’t have what it takes to defeat him.Therefore, despite the fact that the impact had broken his left arm, Vandread raised his right arm and gathered a quantity of energy in his palm one more time before uttering the word "Haltos!" And as he witnessed how the ogres’ movement were slowed down by his attempt. He immed
It was a woman. A woman who appeared to have a robust physique landed in front of him and used a court sword to block his attack. Despite its antiquity and apparent rust, the court sword was formidable enough to fend off Vandread's spiritual weapon. For the time being, at least, it was as though the woman’s court sword was able to absorb the energy coming from Vandread’s spiritual sword as his thirst for masacre slowly faded away along with the depreciation of the radiant light surrounding his spiritual sword.As soon as Vandread realized what the woman was capable of, he made an immediate move in the opposite direction by taking a few steps backward. He proceeded with extreme caution in order to forestall the possibility of the woman completely ingesting all of his spiritual energy.However, before Vandread could even realize what was happening, the woman was already able to absorb sufficient amounts of spiritual energy from him. This was sufficient to cause him to gasp for air aft
