Atop a hill, far from the contact with city, in the countryside was a house that stood alone amidst the grassland-like landscape, and not far away from there was a calm and beautiful lake.
A mother duck was swimming in the lake with a dozen of ducklings on its back, from the front of the house to the nearest connecting road a path, there was a road made out of rocks giving it a touch of aesthetic beauty.
Shortly, a luxurious-looking car, which was actually the newest model of Rolls Royce Phantom, arrived at the scene.
A man wearing a typical dress of a driver who came out first opened the back door of the car, and out of the car, descended a man with dirty blond hair and pitch-black eyes.
It was a long journey, It almost took a day of journey in the top model car just to reach there.
stretching his body after getting out of the car, Eren looked at the beauty of nature in front of him!
"It isn't anything like how it used to be."
Eren said, remembering the once old and worn-out house that he used to live in, there wasn't even a proper sealing at that time, but now...In place of the old house stood a mansion-like house.
It was His father-in-law who made the place like this, not that he cared about Eren, it was just that if information about how the prospective Son-in-law of the Rozental family lived in a worn-out house in some countryside were to spread, it would tarnish their reputation.
Obviously, Eren didn't have any say in that as his father-in-law could care any less about his opinion.
"Anyway, it's nice to see it like this I guess"
Even though his father-in-law made it to cover for their reputation, it doesn't mean he half-asses it, Now the house looked like a farmhouse that was built in a calm place.
"Scarlet, Keep the bags inside and ask the workers here to gather outside"
Now that he had returned to his original place, he was ought to check up on the people who were working there.
"yes, master"
As expected of a maid from the Rozental family or was she....Anyway, she got into work right away.
Eren walked towards the lake in the mean time enjoying the beauty that was present in front of his eyes.
The long grassland field, cows that were grazing in the distance, and the green mountains that stood behind his newly renovated house, all gave a touch of natural beauty.
Right when he was looking around him in a daze, he got to see a little boy, holding an old wooden flute sitting beside a tree.
A dozen or so cattle and cows were around him, grazing on the green grass.
Eren looked at the boy, he was all alone there, except for the cattle around him, he wondered what he was doing alone in the middle of those cows.
He was about to walk near the boy when he heard Sacrlet.
"Master, Everyone is gathered outside"
Leaving his thoughts aside, Eren looked back striding towards the house.
There were more people gathered there than he had guessed, to be exact there were thirteen of them.
'Rozentals sure are rich!'
Thought Eren inwardly since they had the money to waste on thirteen people just to look after a house where no one lives.
A middle-aged man came forward from the group politely bowing with one hand folded backward, he was wearing a typical butler outfit.
"Welcome, Master. I am Hans, a butler in charge of looking after this house, We didn't know you would visit, I apologize for not being here in advance to welcome you."
He said in a single breath, still bowing to him.
But unlike him who was showing respect to Eren, the workers didn't seem to have a good opinion of him.
They were giving him stares that were filled with jealousy and hate.
Why would they hate him, you ask?
Well, it was obvious, when people like them who were working hard to make their living, a scum like Eren, who was even below them on the social ladder, became the lover of the 7th daughter of the Rozental family, and became a prospective son-in-law of the Rozentals, and now they had to bow in front of him? of course they would scoff at him.
'I am the toy boy of Rozentals after all'.
Eren thought to himself as he could feel the stares burning a hole through him.
It wasn't anything new for him, although many things happened in the past few days, this was his reality, even the butler who was bowing in front of him was bowing to the future son-in-law of Rozentals, Eren Rozental, not to the man called Eren.
And wasn't like he felt anything because of that.
You are jealous? then try wooing another daughter of Rozentals?
That was his mindset, he was absolutely proud of himself for making Julia fall for him, of course, it was an achievement that only we men understand.
anyway, Eren looked at all the faces of the workers, but nothing like a status window popped up, maybe because they were all normal people!
"You don't have to worry, it was a sudden decision, I will be staying here for the next six months, make the necessary arrangements, then I will be in your care."
The butler was a bit startled by Eren saying that he would stay there for the next six months, but he was too experienced to get it on his behavior as he answered shortly clearing his shocked expression.
"understood, Master, I will prepare your room right away"
Eren slightly nodded at him and walked in.
It has been almost three years since he last visited this place, and he was curious about how things have changed!
Asking Scarlet to unpack the things, Eren started to roam around the place.
He was excited and there were many things that he had yet to see there, he curiously walked around the place like a fool, not being aware of a shadow that was tailing behind him!!

Awakened! They were the last ray of hope that guarded humanity against the monsters and dungeons. Though the humans started to awaken irregularly after the great disaster, there were too many unanswered questions about them. How did they get their power? what were the conditions to get that power? and how can they become strong? there were just too many questions to list. But after long and tedious research, scientists have managed to answer some of them. How did the awakened get their power? It was due to the presence of mana which was previously absent on the Earth before the great disaster. And about their power...Except for some rare cases that happened once in a while, most humans would awaken as an F rank, but the power of an individual would differ largely based on the skills they would awaken. Normally, an average awakened would have two normal skills and the strong awakeners would have two normal skills in addition to a single special skill. The people with special sk

"Dalton Von Rozental...?....Why is he here'' Grant Ballard, the report that was waiting for Eren in the parking lot said to see a familiar face in the center of the gathering. Dalton von Rozental, the 6th son of the Rozental Family, although not as popular as his other siblings, he was quite a popular person. Dalton is a C- rank awakener, although C-rank may seem good in the eyes of common people, the descendent of Rozental's being in the C-rank even after 8 years of awakening was shameful for the Rozental Family. 'I didn't think there would be a bigger headline than the Awakening of the Toyboy!' It was only before a week that he got a call, informing him that Eren Rozental, the one who was famous as the toy boy of the Rozental family would be participating in next Awakener's association exam for registering himself as a Hunter. Even though Eren is considered a worthless dog by the Rozentals, the World nonetheless deemed him as a part of Rozentals, so it was natural that any new
Dalton von Rozental, a kind and warm person. At least that's how the world viewed him. 'There can't be anything more contrast than that', Thought Scarlet seeing Dalton Von Rozental in midst of the reporters. With black hair and brown eyes, he was quite a good-looking man, who would leave quite a good impression at first sight. But the reality couldn't be any further from that... In reality, He was an outcast among the Rozentals, being born as the second child of Aden Von Rozental's third wife, he was treated as a worthless fool. All the nine children of the Rozental family, except Dalton, were geniuses who excelled in various fields. Amidst Geniuses like them, Dalton was like a rotten apple among the fresh fruits fruits, though the apple may seem like a luxury for commoners, a rotten fruit nonetheless was disregarded. Even though he was a C-rank hunter at the age of 25, he wasn't given any attention by his father or family. It was precisely because he was overshadowed by the
Without saying much after his interest-piquing words, Eren with Scarlet entered the association building.The media exploded as a result of his engrossing words, and numerous predictions concerning what his words implied started to arouse all around the country.While Eren was obvious to any of that, He went on his way to take the Awakener's exam.Shortly afterward they were greeted by a lady in formals and were led to the examination point."Only examinees are allowed past this point!", the lady said politely.Eren who understood her, turned towards Scarlet, "Wait in the reception, I will be back after the Awakener's exam."Scarlet nodded her head in response, "Good luck with the exam master, I am sure you will get a good score"Eren smiled at her encouraging words and entering the examination center.It was an enormous hall with many chairs placed in an orderly manner at a certain distance apart.Eren was led to his seat and was told to wait until the examiner arrives there.He didn
"I want to take both the tests, Sir" Eren said standing in between the two groups! Joshua who was about to start examining the candidates stopped in his tracks and looked at him. All the other cadet's also turned towards him as they found a new cadet wanting to take both tests surprising. 'Is that the famous Toy-boy of the Rozentals?' He thought looking at Eren. 'He wants to do both the Physical test and skill manifestation test? Usually, it's recommended to focus on only one... Is he trying to show off now? ' Joshua glared at Eren thinking that he is using the chance to show off, but Eren didn't back down, he stood his ground against the S-rank. 'Well, it's none of my business!' "Come forward, we will do your test first" Honestly, he just wanted to get done with the test and go home, He was already too tired that he didn't want to even argue with anyone. Eren nodded his head walking ahead. he could sense cold gazes from other cadets but it wasn't anything new for him who wa
Everyone present in the hall was filled with astonishment and surprise at the sudden appearance of a new record from the person they least expected anything from.'Does this mean the new record holder is him?''Wow! I never knew that the loser of the Rozentals could give us such a surprise!''A Rozental is a Rozental, nonetheless!'Be it the candidates or the examiners they were all standing staring at Eren in awe but except for one person that is!'What did I see just now? Did he really hold back his power at the last movement!!?'Others may have not noticed this, but Eren couldn't deceive the eyes of an S-rank hunter!Joshua clearly saw that at the last movement when Eren's fist was about to collide with the machine, he pulled back his hand in an attempt to reduce the impact.Joshua didn't know why Eren did that but...'If the power he displayed while holding back is 1.26 then how much would the score have been if he punched with his full force!!'It definitely would have exceeded t
(Shortly after Eren entered the association, before the awakener exam)Dalton Von Rozental came to where his car was parked, holding his phone in frustration!Earlier when he was about to use the situation to beat up Eren, he got a call from his father's secretary.Kelvin Ballock!He was the secretary of his father, Aden Von Rozental, who had served him for 30 long years.He was not from the Rozental family but he was the most trusted person by his father, and he was one of his old comrades who watched his back during the war time of 'Great disaster'.Kelvin's influence on the family was even higher than Rozental's direct descendants.Noticing that such a person is calling him at this time, he thought something urgent must have come up and went to pick up the phone!But....Unlike his thoughts, there was only a short message that was left for him in the call."Don't try anything funny with Eren, it's your father's words"Nothing more was said and the secretary cut the call after that!
