2 disappointment

It's not that he didn't kneel before someone

  He had to do this several times, but the circumstances were different

  He knelt down and begged for his life before powerful cosmic entities

  But he did not kneel before a little human princess

  This was humiliating for him

  "Young Master." The old servant was shocked when Alexander collapsed and held his head in his hands

  Alexander pulled himself together and rose to his feet

  Do not worry

  This is just a little thing

  "Young Master, there is no need to be disappointed that the Princess and Emilia have left you." The old servant tried to console Alexander

  Did he say Emilia?

  Alexander looked at the old servant with an ominous feeling

  Suddenly memories started flooding into his mind

  Alexander was standing in front of a girl with green hair and emerald eyes

  The girl was angry and slapped Alexander

  Was I also slapped?

  I put my hand on my cheek as if I had just been slapped

  Alexander fell on all fours, looking at the ground

  Why nothing goes right for me?

  The princess insulted me, and I was slapped by a noble woman

  Is there anything worse?

  Alexander bit his lip and got back to his feet

  He looked carefully at the old servant. He could remember the name of this servant from Alexander's memories. "Is there more news, Alfred?"

  "this...". Alfred hesitated for a moment, but finally sighed and said, "The Emperor has banned polygamy..."

  Alexander was preparing himself for the new blow, so he was about to fall to his knees and start screaming again after Alfred finished speaking.

  But he stopped midway and looked at Alfred suspiciously. "banned polygamy?"

  "This is correct.."

  Wait a minute, What does polygamy have to do with me?

  Alexander's face became strange

  Alfred continued his words in a whisper. "The master is eating downstairs. How about you eat with him? He was very angry. I'm sure your presence will ease his anger a little..."

  "Food..hmmm..." I often eat when I have a problem, so Alfred's offer was tempting

  Alexander advanced with calm but cautious steps. He was someone who had not recovered all the information related to this world or the owner of this body

  Therefore, he must avoid arousing suspicions from those around him

  Alfred looked at Alexander in shock. "Do you really want to eat with him?"

  Alexander turned to the old servant and said suspiciously. "You are the one who suggested this, is there a problem?.."

Alfred remained silent and followed me quietly

  I started to regret my decision

  From Alfred's actions, it seemed that there were problems between me and my father, but I could not remember this part of the memory

  But I can't take my words back, partly because I'm starving

  And I cannot ask Alfred or any of the servants, because that would arouse their suspicions

  Who is the person who asks for information about his father?

  I arrived at the dining hall. There was a long table on which plates containing various types of food were distributed

  The servants lined up in a single line on the left, waiting for their masters to finish eating

  Although the table was large, there were only two people sitting at this table

  Middle-aged man with gray hair and gray eyes

  And a teenage girl with gray hair and ruby red eyes

  This man is my biological father, Theodore Ford, one of the four kings who serve under the Emperor personally, and the most famous spear user in the Empire.

  This little girl is Maria Ford, my older sister

  I could hear the sound of knives and forks hitting the plates as I approached them

  " Good morning...". I reached the table and sat on one of the empty seats

  When I sat down, the place became strangely quiet

  I felt many eyes on me, but I ignored them and started looking at the table in front of me to see which dishes would attract my attention.

  Act normally, do not attract unnecessary attention

  I repeated this phrase inside myself like a mantra

  I decided to take my eyes off the dishes and look at my father and sister

  I saw Theodore looking at me with anger and a little shock

  As for my sister, she was looking at me with disgust, as if she was looking at garbage

  I turned my gaze to the servants who had a shocked look on their faces as they looked at me

  ".....". It seems there is no point in the plan of not attracting attention

  But I decided to ignore everyone, put a large piece of meat on my plate and started cutting it into small pieces

  "Alexander..." Theodore spoke for the first time, "I know you have no talent in using magic, but you are part of the Ford family. You could have held a decent government position and been the princess's husband, but you messed it up..."

  Theodore's face was filled with disappointment

  I stopped cutting meat and was still staring at the plate in front of me

  The memory of Alexander kneeling before the princess, and the sad expression on his face when Emilia slapped him, flashed back

  I clenched my hands, and anger began to rise inside me

  I tried to control my feelings, I know that these feelings were not mine

  I'm not an expert, but I do have some knowledge about souls, especially after dealing with a group of lunatics like the Church of Reincarnation

  I took a deep breath and then exhaled. The anger disappeared and was replaced by calm
