Family

After meeting my knight, I made my way to Baron's Garden.

Not as luxurious a garden as I thought. How can it be luxury, if they are often lacking. However, Baron's Park was quite lively.

By the lake, I saw Renia having a picnic with her maid. Renia is the Baron's youngest child, and his younger brother Akion.

He is eight years old, has short hair the same color as Akion's and golden eyes that always amaze me with what this family looks like. Brother or sister, I did not have before. All I've got is that damn cousin I want to kill. With all my heart, Renia's presence makes me happy.

"Renia." I smiled widely at Renia.

She shuddered to herself. Akion is always busy studying, training and hunting monsters. So Renia is not close to Akion, she tends to be afraid of her brother. Yes, as I remember it, Akion always looked at Renia with hunting eyes. Wrong. Certain.

"What is it, Brp .…?" She answered stiffly. Is it my fault, huh? I scratched my forehead slowly.

Then, I shook off that thought and sat down beside Renia. "Sorry I disturb you. Can your brother have a cup of tea with her sweet little sister?"

Renia looked doubtful.

"C-of course." I realized that I had done as she pleased. Nami, the maid from Renia, has given me tea.

I took a sip while watching Renia, who was hesitating to drink it.

"Renia, why don't you drink it?" I smiled to make him feel comfortable. Maybe the distance is so far, there is not the slightest sense of brotherhood between them.

"Brother… Did I do something wrong?" I stopped drinking, my eyebrows raised slightly.

Every time I smiled, people would ask if they did something wrong or if they made me uncomfortable.

It seems because this face is always tense. Akion ... yes, you are the culprit of all this. Your stiff face and your overly serious attitude make people misunderstand.

"No." I put down my tea cup.

"It seems that I made a mistake. Disrupt your picnic." I gently stroked Renia's head then fixed her slightly crooked hair band.

"I hope, next time we can drink tea at the right time. "

"And, pardon Big Brother's rude attitude for today." I withdrew, and left Renia confused by her brother's change in attitude.

I sipped my wine slowly. While on earth, I never touched this. I was amazed at myself, I think I could even down a bottle.

The age limit here is too low. At the age of only seventeen, I was considered an adult and capable of anything.

There are many differences between Earth and Xellim. Xellim, a vast continent where the blue moon sometimes appears. This is the usual color.

For the concept of the sun and the moon, I think it's the same as the Earth, rotating safely 24 hours and evolving 365 days. Only, here have two moons. One is yellow, and one is blue which appears every six months. And, according to the records I've read, there's another golden moon that appears every twelve years.

If traced, then there are three months in Xellim. Yellow, blue and gold. The use of magic and Mana was common here. Anything uses magic.

Look at that magic lamp! So pretty They glow, channeled through the Mana Cable centered into the Mana Stone.

They are amazing. If this was on earth, magic users would be stoned. Yes, if this is the sixteenth century.

This is a fantasy world that people on earth dream of. I tilted my head.

"What is it, Akion?" Akion's father stopped eating, his eyes looking at me worriedly. Like last time, my head hurt all of a sudden.

If only this was my own body, with pain like facing that death. My body will give up.

"I just admire the taste of this delicious wine, Father." His face looks happy.

He called the butler and showed him the bottle of wine he was holding.

"This is Roxanne XII, year 1472 made 200 years ago." His eyes sparkled. It seemed that he was so in awe of this wine.

"Father got it from Duke Lexier. He hopes to be on good terms with our family."

I don't want to bend my face and make his happiness shine.

Duke Lexier is the ruler of the Southern region. Unlike here, the area is known as the region of light, many temples stand there, the territory is quite prosperous.

The ruler of the central nobility. The current descendant of Duke Lexier was even predicted to become a swordmaster and the title was in my hands before his son managed to attain that title.

After that, Duke Lexier drew closer to Baron Sanktessy's family. The other nobles considered that to be a generosity from Duke Lexier.

However, I think of it differently. The family that controls the heart of power, will not easily give up its privileges.

"Really Duke Lexier is a generous person." I smiled mysteriously and finished the wine I was holding in one gulp.

"Brother, forgive me for my behavior this afternoon." Renia greeted with a bow. Her loyal maid also bowed.

This is why earlier in the dining room she looked hesitant to see me.

"Renia, the one who messed up your picnic was me." Renia looked at me. There was fear in her. Then, she saw Nami behind her who looked back at her. Maybe Nami had advised Renia to apologize.

"Renia, are you afraid of Big Brother?" Renia was silent.

Her face turned to doubt. "N-no," she stammered.

I looked down, holding her little shoulder. Renia was stunned, our eyes met. I don't want to destroy this beautiful body.

"Renia, all this time Brother has rarely interacted with you. Big Brother feels guilty about it, how can Big Bro be angry with you?"

Hearing the words that seemed to be made up, Renia stared in amazement.

"Basically, say whatever you want. You can ask me anything because I am your brother." I smile. Renia's face looks a little embarrassed, the nature of her children can be seen at this time.

As for Nami, this is the second time I've seen her silent, caught up in Akion's smiling charm.

"Thank you, Sis Akion." She blushed, but still tried to maintain her elegance.

On earth, we had royalty too in the past century. About their troublesome rules, just like what I read in history books.

Originally, nobles were thought to be descended from gods. For this reason, they maintain the consistency of customs, procedures, and regulations Everywhere, rules are needed.

I waved my hand at Renia who was withdrawing. For its growth, fast sleep is good.

I saw myself again. I am surrounded by books. My father said, with books, I can make life better. I was sitting in the private library that Mom and Dad gave me for my 10th birthday.

I opened the pages of the book. Maybe, it looks boring. However, my face is not like that. Then, it spins again.

"Aircraft Eagle 3612B disappeared in the ocean between Japan-Korea."

Disconnected again.

"Leom, your mother was declared dead." My face is horrible.

I cried and screamed, people just whispered pity on me. Uncle and his family came to my house. He enters as a guardian. His son who was the same age as me stared intently.

I saw my uncle smiling while holding the hand of the person carrying the pile of files.

DUGHH!

Kick lodged in my hip. I was pushed. My uncle and aunt only glanced briefly, not caring about what their son was doing.

It's dark again.

A feeling I know very well.

"Master Leon, you should have reported this." My bedroom door opened, the shadow of the monster entered. They pulled my housekeeper, they fired her and kicked her out.

It was as if this house belonged to them. I was silent—my body was shaking. This continues for up to four years.

"Forgive me, Uncle, Aunt... please." I begged with trembling hands. Then, I saw Haikal throw the belt in front of his parents. I was beaten even more brutally.

"You bastard!" I remember this, still very fresh. He peed on me, the asshole named Haikal. He's the one who killed me. I squeezed my chest. I felt like my heart was going to explode. This body is drenched in sweat, this is a nightmare from my past life.

I want to slash their heads and then trample them. I tried to steady my breath. luckily with this body, it's an easy thing.

After I completely calmed down, I felt stupid myself. Why am I so afraid of them? There are many ways for me to fight and I just stand still and die.

Then, reborn into this powerful body. So where's the real Akion? Did he enter my body? Since the first day I was in his body. I've asked a million questions about this situation to gods and got no answers.

I walk as if this is my own body. Damn! It's cursed. At least let me take revenge on them there first.

Now, I am dragged into the fierce Battle of the rulers. I stared at each other at my reflection in the mirror, a glare full of hostility. The incoming moonlight did not soften my anger.

However, I decided to go out and stand on the terrace and breathe in the night air that seemed to hug me to fall back asleep.
