Chapter 5

After the banquet, I noticed that Claudius became a lot more harsher towards me. It's not like I couldn't fight back but if I did fight back, our father will punish me.

I sighed as I slowly stood up from the ground and wiped my hands that's full of dirt. Looking at Claudius who pushed me down, I could tell why he is acting like this. I licked the blood on the side of my mouth, It's salty.

"If I ever see you around Meredith again, I'll make you suffer again" Claudius kicked me again but it wasn't strong enough to make me fall on the ground, I only stepped backwards because of the Impact.

I smiled looking at Claudius "Are you telling me to avoid and not Interact with lady Meredith brother?" I wiped the dust on my clothes where Claudius kicked. Really, He should be thankful that I have a long patience.

"Who are you calling brother?" Claudius sneered "I don't recall having a loser brother like you" He grabbed my clothes and looked at me in the eyes "Just do what I say, Don't ever talk to her!" He released my clothes and pushed me away.

I laughed as if mocking him and looked at him with a smiling face "She's not a thing you could monopolize, so why should I follow you Claudius?" I really just hate how this brat look at others and how he treats them so I wasn't able to hold myself back, I don't regret it though.

Claudius clenched his fist very hard, I could tell he's fuming with anger and frustration. I sighed "Haa~ Look at yourself Claudius. You remind me of something hmm...What is it again? Oh right! That illustration of an angry goblin!" I laughed as i mocked him.

Claudius rushed towards me in anger with his fist heading towards my face but I evaded it by effortlessly stepping on the side and used my foot to trip Claudius. Claudius' face kissed the ground and when he looked up I could see dirt on his handsome face.

I wanted to laugh but I suppressed it and made an exaggerated surprised expression "Are you okay brother?? Does it hurt anywhere? You must've slipped accidentally".

Claudius became more furious and he shouted "I know you did it on purpose you stupid loser!" I wonder who looks more like a loser between us two. I really wanted to laugh.

I made another exaggerated shocked expression then I covered my mouth with my hand pretended to be sad "I- How could you accuse me like this my dear twin brother? Me, a loser, how could I ever made my glorious brother fall to the ground?" I said as if I was in despair.

I know Claudius' pride is hurting right now. He clenched his fists. He slowly stood up and looking by his embarrassing state, Claudius gritted his teeth while looking at me with obvious Hostility.

A butler approached us and noticed our dirty look. Claudius only showed his annoyance to me privately and nobody else knows his true nature, even mother. Mother only knows that Claudius is a very distant to us.

I gave the butler a smile, Claudius did the same. I must say, Claudius' acting skills were pretty good and if ever he wanted to be an actor in my past life he would surely become one considering that he's very handsome and talented.

"Well brother and I were playing tag and we both accidentally tripped while playing" Claudius also smiled and nodded "Yeah! Brother and I never really played that much so we decided to bond with each other. Please don't tell father about this".

The butler smiled and understood "Okay young master. You should go and change now, your father's on his way home already".

After taking a bath and changing my clothes, I went to our library to read some books to kill some time. There are lots of books that I like in here, even the books about history like stories about life of the past heroes in this world.

Tomorrow we will have swordsmanship training. I'm sure that Claudius will do his best to take revenge. When we're training swordsmanship I always deliberately let Claudius win...Should I continue doing that?

I sighed as I kept on thinking about what should I do while reading a book. About the gift that god gave me before, He gave and passed me the physical strength, combat ability and knowledge of Hayden Reggian.

Hayden Reggian is a legendary hero one hundred years ago who saved this world and helped to fight on war against the demons. She is known for her unique fighting style and swordsmanship but nobody was able to learn nor master it. I haven't read that much about her but I heard that except from her exceptional fighting style, She also have two magic abilities, one rare magic and one ancient magic. To make things easier, Hayden Reggian was known as the strongest during her time up until now.

I sighed as I finished the book that I was reading. I'm not scared to fight back against Claudius but I'm scared that I might accidentally kill him by accident. There's a right time and place for everything, I shall use this blessing that god gave me at the right time.

Fun Fact: Hayden is the main character of my other novel who used to be an assassin in her past life and got transmigrated into her favourite novel. I re-uploaded the chapters earlier because I deleted it before so feel free to check it out if you're curious.

Also, Oliver didn't get Hayden's magical abilities. She only got her fighting and combat knowledge including her physical strength. I honestly think for days on what kind of blessing should I give Oliver, My decision might not be the best one but I think it should be good enough.
