Episode 2
“Your Majesty, I have prepared something for you to drink.”
I suddenly heard a voice and turned my head to see a man handing me tomato juice.
He is clearly in his 40s, but his appearance alone makes you believe he is in his early 30s. His gestures are restrained and neat.
The only butler and servant in this family who gives to me and works by my side.
The name is Ron.
When I see him, a natural smile appears on my lips.
“The Ron I know was a bit of a sinister guy, but he didn’t put any poison in here, did he?”
“Not at all. How could I… … .”
The fact that he looked a little bit immature also seemed to have a strange charm.
First, I reached out and took a sip of tomato juice.
“Thank you always.”
Ron smiled as if he was pleased with my words, then walked away.
I think he might be going to organize groceries.
I took a sip of the tomato juice in my hand and looked around again.
There are eleven people in this rose garden, excluding me.
One of them was Ron, who just handed me the tomato juice.
And the remaining ten are soldiers guarding this place outside the door and watching me.
Well, I guess I don’t really need to pay attention to anyone except Ron.
By the way.
‘What do we do now?’
I looked up at the sky again and let out a small sigh.
It is clear that this is reality now.
But I didn’t know in advance that I would return to the past like this, and moreover, it had only been an hour, or to be exact, an hour and 24 minutes since I realized that I had returned.
Of course, there’s no way he had any plans in his head.
Suddenly I raised my hand.
I am 14 years old now.
Even though he was 14 years old, he didn’t have a single callus on his hands, and he didn’t have a mana heart or anything resembling mana in his body.
Compared to the fact that children of noble families usually start training mana around the age of 13, it’s not a bad level, it’s just at the level of X God.
Well, that makes sense, because at that time I had mana… … .
Pfft-!
My head was thrown forward with a sudden pain at the back of my head.
……uh?
I was dazed.
The pain that was transmitted through my brain was quite painful… … No, it was pain and a headache.

What is this situation?
No.
I understand it in my head.
I just got stabbed in the back of the head by someone.
The reason I was flustered was because it had been almost a decade since I had been hit in the head by anyone in my life, so it was a little late for me to realize the situation.
Honestly, I’m still dumbfounded.
In my field of vision, I see the tomato juice Ron made upside down in the grass.
Looking at it now makes my blood boil.
“You bastard, you idiot. My brother is here and you don’t even say hello?”
I raised my head.
Thick eyebrows and small eyes like a cicada.
And a big nose.
A man who appears to be about 180cm tall and weighs about 70kg.
No boy.
I know who it is.
Paleone Valantier.
He is three years older than me and the second son of the Valantier family.
The reason I didn’t practice mana, or rather the reason I couldn’t, was because of this guy’s threats and violence.
Even though decades have passed, it still lingers in my mind.
‘You lowly bastard, if I want I can kill you any time.’
‘Unlike my older sister, you have no use for me whatsoever, so don’t learn anything, whether it be swordsmanship or magic. If you learn anything, I will consider it as an attempt to kill me and I will kill you.’
‘Even if you have the blood of a marquis, at least as long as I am here, you are worse than nothing. You will just eat what your family gives you, wear what they give you, and live your whole life like a dead rat. Then, who knows? Maybe when I become a marquis, I will think of you as my younger brother.’
When I was young, I was very weak.
Although people around me whispered about it, some called my weak and unmanly personality a disgrace to the family.
Of course, this was just a rumor within the family, and it would have been even worse if it had spread outside.
X-god, motherf*cker, s*ut.
And a retarded one.
That was the nickname they used for me, and the background to those rumors was this second one and this guy’s background, Count Mantis.
By the way, it’s so ridiculous to keep looking at that guy.
I briefly mentioned this, but the eldest child of the Valanti family is a woman, not a man.
The only person in my ‘family’ that I relied on and the only person who cared for me.
My older sister, who is a year older than the Paleone in front of me, was not able to become the successor to the family simply because she was a woman.

The eldest daughter of a beautiful marquis who failed to become her successor.
Its fate was practically decided.
A situation where one becomes the object of a political marriage and where one goes to have children is determined by one’s father’s taste.

My older sister ended up in that situation.
Even this second son in front of me was the one who was at the forefront of treating my older sister like a commodity, and he asked if she didn’t want to be held by the royal kids who were like the scoundrels and fools of the duke’s family that he hung around with… … Phew.
This kid is a guy who deserves to be killed.
“Ha… … What is this guy trying to do with his eyes wide open right now?”
I got up from my seat quietly.
I wonder if he didn’t like my leisurely gestures.
The bastard swings his arms again like before.
Turuk-
Lightly, I raised my left arm and grabbed the bastard’s arm.
“……uh?”
The guy is flustered by the unexpected situation, and gasps can be heard around him.
These are the soldiers who were ‘watching’ this situation.
It’s a new thing, but I didn’t have anyone on my side.
Except Ron.
“You dare block my arm just now? You’re worse than a worm… … .”
Ignoring him, I held his arm still and used the recoil of my shoulder and waist to throw him in the opposite direction.
Kuung-!
The guy stuck in the garden quickly gets up from his seat and looks at me.
Looking at that stupid expression, he’s surprisingly cute.
“Right now… …Right now you?”
As I silently walked towards him, the second one suddenly stood up from his seat.
It looks like he’s trying to raise his mana, but no one around him even tries to stop him.
Seriously, isn’t it a funny situation when I think about it again?
That was when.
“Your Majesty!! This is not possible!!”
Ron runs up behind me and blocks the second one.
To be patient, to raise mana in this situation, etc.
Ron’s voice, speaking urgently, could not possibly reach the second child’s ears.
Ron, the only one who was on my side.
Pfft-!
He was hit by the second punch and flew far away.
Aren’t you worried?
I’m not worried at all.
Ron is a man who has a lot to hide.
He chuckled and started walking towards his second son again.

“You insolent brat! I will kill you right here and now!!”
Our lovely second son keeps talking nonsense, probably because he’s read a lot of hero novels.
“Hey kid, are you fighting with your snout?”
“What… what?”
Unable to control his anger at my words, the second son suddenly pulls out a sword from his waistband.
I thought it was just for decoration, but I guess not.
I, who was walking slowly, kicked the spot right away.
Even though I had a shabby body and no energy whatsoever, I had no confidence.
Quality itself.
He swings his sword at me as I run towards him.
Phew-!
It wasn’t the typical strength a 17-year-old would display.
The movements of the thing that circulated mana were faster and more destructive than I expected.
Just the right amount of power for 3 circles.
But that’s all.
The trajectory of the sword swung by the second one is clearly visible to my eyes.
The sword’s momentum was quite fierce, but a child is a child.
The movement of the sword tearing through the air was crude, and even the point of impact was not properly captured.
A blind sword. Nothing more, nothing less.
He quickly lowered his head.
wickedness-!
A sword passes through my head.
Perfect evasion.
Then, taking short steps, he dug into the bastard’s body.
After that, I reached out and grabbed the guy’s arm like before.
I considered throwing it away for about 0.1 seconds, then shook my head.
That’s too simple.
This guy needs some mental education.
Then it appeared to me.
The marble embedded in the floor.
If it were a normal stone, I wouldn’t even look at it, but that marble is bigger than I thought.
see.
The second is a state where the mana of the 3rd circle is spread throughout the body.
According to the basic mana usage method, all of that mana would be wrapped around the body, so of course that range would include the head.
Then… … okay.
Advertisements
I stopped thinking and just slammed the bastard’s head into the floor, right where the marble was.
Boom-!
The results were very satisfactory.
Because the marble shattered into pieces with an ominous sound.
The second child, who had been shaking like an insect, now lies down.
I tapped his head with my foot, but there was no response.
Our second one definitely fainted.
Let’s look around and see some people with blank expressions on their faces.
Ron is wiping the blood flowing from his mouth from a distance with ten soldiers who are onlookers.
They looked like they didn’t understand what was going on, but it was the soldiers, not Ron, who took action first.
I can see them coming towards where I and my second son are.
Raised his hand.
“stop.”
Shudder.
“Don’t move from that spot. If you don’t want to lose everything.”
The guys gulp at my sharp words.
I grabbed the second child by the hair and dragged him to the small lake in the garden.
Then, when he puts his head into the lake, bubbles start to rise.
“Ugh!! Ugh ugh!!”
The bastard’s body began to glow with bubbles.
The second one seemed so embarrassed that he couldn’t even think about raising the mana he had been proudly using.
Let’s slowly lift the bastard’s head.
“Ugh… … Ugh, ugh, ugh… … Aaaahhhhhh!!”
Screaming is a sign of fear.
But if you think about it carefully, there are more than one or two things that have happened because of this kid.
Not long after his older sister, who was the most beautiful woman on the continent, married into the empire, he used poison to assassinate the Marquis of Valanti. After that, he committed all sorts of evil acts as if he had become the Marquis and was carrying out all sorts of evil deeds under the power of the empire.
The result is neat.
The Marquis of Valanti ended up not accomplishing anything and just disappeared quietly without a sound, remaining just another family.
I don’t care about revenge for my father or anything like that.
Moreover, I have no attachment to my family.
The reason I’m angry is because the opportunity created through my sister’s sacrifice was used and wasted in that way.
Stupid kid, no, stupid kiddies.
My older sister is smart.
Even kind.
With what kind of mindset would such a sister have been sold to the empire?
Advertisements
What would have been on your mind on the carriage ride to the empire?
The older sister who was sold to the bastard prince who had no hesitation in teasing her lower body must have guessed what was about to happen to her.
My older sister endured it.
Because my older sister placed a lot of importance on the word family.
It was something I could endure.
If this kid knew what his older sister’s end was like, and if his father, the Marquis Valanti, knew.
… … Phew.
I took a deep breath and pushed aside the memories that were trying to come to mind.
If I kept thinking about it, I felt like I was going to get sick and die.
