“Now he trains swords?”
I repeated what Aran had just said to me. Aran nodded his head and continued, “Not only that, but the knights in the household were surprised to see that his sword style also changed.”
I raised an eyebrow.
“What do you mean by that?”
“I mean it as it is. He changed from a dual sword to a one hand sword user.”
“I see.”
Interesting. Suddenly I feel like having a duel with the Baron to test his strength. I smirked.
“And? Anything more?”
I asked and Aran’s eye twitched.
“Well...”
He tried to avoid my gaze.
What now? Did she said anything strange in her letter?
“In this letter, Maria also stated some weird words at the end of it.”
Aran finally spilled it out after I glared at him for a full minute.
“Hmm? What is it?”
“It said ‘I am master’s family’ something like that.”
I looked at him blankly.
“Wait, she heard that? I thought the servants were busy with their own shenanigans that night?”
Aran shrugged as a response.
“She is keen, after all.”
All of a sudden, I remembered the words that Lancelot spoke vividly that one spring night.
“Dear stars... Please, give me strength...”
Those words, although simple, I know it holds many meaning for Lancelot, as before he speak those words, his eyes wavered, as if his feeling were mixed. I never realized that his figure while he was hugging his knees looked so vulnerable, so fearful of this world that it made me want to protect him.
Wait?
Protect?
Me? Protect him?
I frowned while I caned my forehead on the desk. What is wrong with me? Am I too nervous to execute him? Am I having hallucinations for being overworked? I have to remember, he was the one who tried to hurt Cecilia and he also did many crimes, he doesn’t deserve to be given chance to live.
“Sir?”
Aran’s voice snapped me out from my daze.
“I’m sorry. Continue with your report.”
I massaged my temple. Yes, I must have been too tired. The Spring festival for Tristan Kingdom will happen in a week, including the time where Louis declare to annul his engagement with the Marquis’ daughter and declare marriage with Cecilia. By that time, many things needed to be done so I have been pulling all nighters in these past few days, that must be why I am tired and are having hallucinatons.
...Cecilia, huh? When we met for the first time, I was entranced by her beauty and her gentle and kind behavior and fall in love with her. I gave up on pursuing her though, because Louis was also in love with her, and I thought that they suited each other better than if it was me. It was just a few days ago that I decided to shut away my feelings for her, I shouldn’t move on this fast. Yet, in my mind, thoughts of Baron Constance overflowed, that it almost became too scary to think about him.
“Hmm...” Aran pursed his lips.
“...Are you anxious for our plan, sir?”
Aran finally spoke after a few moments of silence.
“That too. It’s just... I don’t know if I am able to kill Baron Constance now...”
The secretary heaved a sigh.
“Your highness, let’s have some break, okay?”
“...Okay...”

(Lancelot’s POV)
I stared listlessly at the land that was stretched far beyond what my eyes can see. This vast land, is my fief. Finally, after almost 20 days of working together with the townsfolk to help burying the dead soil, we had finished burying it yesterday and started planting the seeds soon after.
Of course, because of the vast land, the crop seeds that were kept were not enough, so we called the trading company again to buy more crop seeds and if possible, flower seeds too.
“My Lord, have you finish planting the seeds of this section?”
The chief trotted towards me as he speak.
Mysteriously, after I gave some assistance for the soil problem and even started helping them at the cropland, the townsfolk started calling me My Lord. I wonder why...?
“Yes, I have. I’m sorry if I am a bit slow, I can’t use magic.”
I scratched my cheek.
“It’s alright! We are grateful enough that you lend a hand in managing the crops. One more helping hand is useful, you know~”
The chief said and laughed loudly.
Surprisingly, many townspeople actually know how to use magic, mostly inferior ones. Well, make sense that the novel’s setting is in a magical world, it would be more strange if people can’t use magic.
Like me sob sob T-T
After spending another few hours of helping them with the crops, I spotted the merchant cart from afar.
“Ah! They have come!”
I stood up and immediately ran back to Ildian, the black stallion that I usually rode.
“If you will excuse me!”
I said to the chief and the townspeople nearby as I pulled the reins and they waved at me. I came right on time to change myself in a suitable attire before the merchants entered the estate.
“They are here, Master.”
Taylor showed me to the guest room where the merchants was at.
“Alright. Thank you, Taylor.”
I said before I stepped in.
In my first step, I took a glance at the merchant’s face before I came to a halt suddenly.

(Lancelot’s POV)
W-What is going on right now?...
“Hello, my name is Suna. I am the leading merchant for today’s group. Nice to meet you.”
A young, long dark blue haired man said and reached out his hand to shake mine as he introduced himself.
Why are you here?!
Suna, Suna Raikan! One of the male leads in the novel! Why is he here? Wasn’t he supposed to be managing the rural crystal flower that Cecilia had requested him in the far South? How can he be here in the Northeast?!
“Its nice to meet you...”
I tried to smile and took his hand.
I need to make myself not look suspicious or surprised, but I’m really curious as to why he was here yet I shouldn’t ask, because the rural flower is supposed to be a secret between Cecilia and Suna.
“Shall we go straight to the topic?”
He said, snapping me back to reality.
“Yes, sure.”
I replied.
Well, whatever. Him being in Isaia right now is not my problem. I should expect some changes in the plot, especially because I also made some changes in my life. But as only a side character with insignificant role, would me changing really did change the plot that far?

(Suna’s POV)I glanced at the person in front of me. When he first entered the room, I could see that he was slightly nervous and also unexpectedly surprised to see me. But it is strange, I’m pretty sure that this is the first time I see Baron Lancelot Ral Constance. After news about his family had passed away and him taking the lead, I became disinterested in him, especially after people said that he is a notorious bastard who used his family’s riches to do whatever he wanted. Though, things started to change about a few weeks ago, when we received announcement from the headquarters of the company to send any merchant who was nearby the town of Isaia, as the Baron of the fief wants to hold business with us. Things get interesting soon after, when the group that went there suddenly requested the opening of the dimensional gate for a few days to haul items that the Baron had sold straight to the HQ. What’s more, the Baron literally sold all the r

(Lancelot’s POV)As I brushed my light brown hair backwards, I stared at myself many times in the mirror. Now that I look closely, I really have reincarnated as Lancelot Ral Constance. A slightly 23 and slender stature, Caucasian skin, with amber eyes and light brown wavy short hair. He has such beautiful features yet not much readers remembered him as he died very early in the novel. I also felt guilty because I too never cared to remember him, especially because he was an evil person, who just does everything that Avery asked him to do. Speaking of Avery, today was the day where I finally was asked to accompany her to the royal ball in the palace to celebrate her engagement with the second prince, Louis Ilya Tristan. That night will also be the moment where I will die, either by the first prince’s hands, or by the poison. I have trained my swordsmanship skills enough already, so maybe the poison will kill me later than usual.“Master, are you ready?”Taylor knock

(Lancelot’s POV)While in the carriage, I was holding onto my sword—that I just bought a few days ago from the same trading company that we sold our items to—with one hand. As I rested myself on the cushion, I glanced outside the window. We were almost halfway to reach the Ronan estate. Somehow, the way to Isaiya is coincidentally the same way to Cecilia’s homeland. That was why Lancelot was able to harass her frequently before. But now that she had transferred to the capital and lived there, Lancelot won’t be able to harass her and she would be safe from him.Though... That is not the problem now...“....Why are you holding onto my hand?”I turned to look at Hans who was sitting on my side while tightly holding my other hand.“Ah! Sorry, do you feel uncomfortable?” He said that, but he still hold on to me. Having Hans holding my hand is nice, but any longer than this would cause me a nosebleed. His hands are obviously bigger than mine, proportional to his big stat

(Lancelot’s POV)I unsheathed my sword and get into my battle stance. 6 empowered intermediate beasts, huh? Luckily I remembered this scene in the novel where Cecilia would be attacked by the beast when she secretly went home to meet her parents. In the original plot, they fought the beasts for too long that the second prince realize her being gone and searched for her. Ultimately, the second prince would also put the blame of releasing the beast to Lancelot when in actuality, it was Avery who had done it. I don’t care much even if the blame were put on me, because I’m gonna die anyways, but if I were to let things be, Cecilia’s close aid, Dante Arville will be rendered disable due to the damage that was caused by the curse on the beasts fang. And in the later half of the novel, Dante somehow became evil and wanted to take the throne of the country....Sounds mad, right? But I forgot to tell you that the main theme for the novel is action before romance, so of cour

(Lancelot’s POV)The evening of the ball quickly came by. While the servants were entering their carriage, I escorted Avery to our respected carriage and we departed. In the carriage, Avery couldn’t seem to take her eyes off of me. I know my fashion changed but could you please not stare daggers at me?“You look exceptionally beautiful tonight.”I began, trying to start a conversation and trying to steer away her gaze from me for a second. Though, she really looked exquisitely beautiful tonight. Her golden hair were braided and red flowers were strewn along the strands of her braids. Her outfit were usually black or red but tonight, she wore a dress with white as its main color while having some golden and red embroideries at some parts. If this was not the night where I would die, I would gladly praise her beauty.Avery fell silent, before answering me as she smiled coldly.“You too look very handsome tonight. Though, I like your old hairstyle better than this one. And I never know t

(Asher’s POV)“My word...”My mother gasped.“Has he ever been that beautiful?”She said, and we continued to be in silence again. Gradually, noise come back filling the hall. People continued to chatter, but I’m sure that the words of smite were less than the words of praise to the Baron, may it be his outfit or the different aura that he emmitted just now.When the ceremony started, the main door opened and two figures stepped in. As expected, Louis was the one who escorted Avery into the hall. They both look beautiful, but unfortunately, tonight is the night where they will annul their engagement so wearing that beautiful outfit seemed like a waste.The ceremony continued on. Why does it feel very long before the moment where they annul their engagement? I couldn’t seem to sit still.Finally, after some time, they finally declared their annulment and I left the seat to continue with my plan to kill the Baron.***(Cecilia’s POV)I grasped my hands tightly as I s

(Asher’s POV)Changing from my royal attire to my usual attire, I stared at the palace from one of the towers in the palace ground. Behind me, the troop who would be together with me to kill Baron Constance have prepared themselves and were standing in circles. In the middle of them, was Maria.“...so you were saying that the Baron got hurt after fighthing strenghthened demonic beast?”I turned around to look at her. As usual, Maria showed her unbound calm demeanor as she agreed to my statement. Maria is a very talented spy that we sent to the Constance household to keep an eye on Baron Constance so that if he does something funny, we will come and immediately execute him. Well, that was the plan. But I never had expected him to defend a carriage by being a bait, and on top of that, he won the fight.“As we expected, Baron Constance is not the type of man to be trifled with.”“But sir, even if the Baron was healed, won’t the effect of the dark magic from the beasts

(Asher’s POV) I brought the Baron’s body closer to me as the color of his face drained. In that moment, my mind went blank. I have killed the Baron, now what? Oh, right... I have to make his body a display for people who wanted to tarnish the kingdom’s name.Then...What comes after that? Strangely enough, seeing as his soul slowly slipped away from his body, I also felt like all of my emotions had faded away.I feel empty. I gazed again at his soulless body. He looked very stunning in his outfit, a soft turquoise green long coat paired with white shirt and white trousers. Unexpectedly, he also used an ear cuff on one side of his ears, making him look beautiful, even when he was dying. I clenched my trembling hand that was smeared with his blood. Earlier when our eyes met, I unexpectedly almost mouthed a praise to him just like what I was about to do back in the hall.As he basked in the moonlight, looking as if he was waiting for me, my heart w

(Lancelot’s POV)I didn’t know how grateful I was when I opened my eyes to a dimly lit surrounding. Upon longer dithering, I assumed that I was laying down on a bed, and that its barely dawn. I laboriously pulled myself up to sit; wanting to take a proper look at the rising sun, through the glass window across me.“…Lancelot?”I halted, upon hearing a voice to my side.It took me some time to register whose voice it was, but when I turned beside me, I saw a figure towering me. The little sunlight from the rising sun made his raven hair glimmery, and I saw those silver eyes looked directly into mine.“Ash-” I wasn’t able to finish that word, before getting wrapped up in an embrace. That caused me to flinch a bit. In that moment, a distinct amount of warmth usurped within, causing me to blush.Asher…That was the only thing I could think of. I slipped both of my arms behind his back and clung tightly onto him, as I enjoyed the radiating warmth of his body. And as if knowing my intention

Lancelot’s POV“Phew…” I heaved out a long sigh.Never have I ever imagined that I could be bruised and battered even in the land beneath my consciousness. I thought so as I looked at myself. Approximately some time ago, I got stabbed by the original Lancelot, and was fading away quite fast, but somehow my body is okay now and I don’t feel that pain anymore.“But…” I gazed towards my surroundings. There’s nothing but white all around me. And because I’m here, I don’t think my body outside is conscious. Maybe. I did feel like I had almost grasped the string of consciousness within me, but it was only for a brief time, and only happened once in a while. How do I get out from this situation?“So, you’re the one Izana has been talking frequently about.” A voice suddenly appeared, snapping me from my pondering, and rendering me to flinch in surprise.“Wha-”

Asher’s POVI was even more surprised and confused compared to Louis, who was trying to calm her down. The three of us decided to change our spot further away from Lancelot, by sitting on the sofa set nearby.While I turned on the lamp on the coffee table, Louis guided Cecilia to one of the empty spots of the sofa. Cecilia tried to stop her own sobs. Both me and Louis then gazed at her until she had calmed down for the most of it.“…I’m sorry.” Cecilia started, wiping the tears on her cheeks with a handkerchief Louis handed to her. “But you can’t be with the Count, Your Highness. You mustn’t.”I felt the surge of air in my lungs as I rapidly inhaled. Pausing, my slightly parted lips moved as I mouthed, “Why?” In an exasperated breath.Cecilia had her gaze lowered on the ground. Waiting for her answers, I tried to calm the seething annoyance within me. I know Cecilia as someone who doesn’t do something without reason. With that being said, I still couldn’t fathom why she was so against

However, not too far from the corner of those eyes, is a black ant that was standing idly on its feet, while looking up. As if, for some time, it has noticed of the presence of the seemingly alien looking eyes inspecting it from above.Avery smiled.As if satisfied with what she saw, she lifted her gaze. Her eyelids immediately squinted, hiding her irises from the blazing sun above her head. The sun is already high above the sky, and the temperature is rising.Avery then stood up from the ground, a sitting spot that she chose to ease her fatigue from walking for some time. She then quickly readjusted her knee length cloak around her body, before resuming her steps; destination unknown.Even so, once in a while, the flora and fauna witnessed Avery fiddling with the air just above her waist.

Asher’s POV My memory—between me preparing to leave the palace to arriving at the Great Kingdom of Sand in the South—was blurry. I heard the tap of my heels on the ground, which instantly brought my senses back to reality. It seems while I was in a daze, I have already arrived. Some attendants were escorting the horses away, while some others tended to me, along with Louis and Cecilia, who decided to tag along with me. “Her Highness is inside the guest room. Please follow us.” An attendant said. The three of us then followed from behind. We walked through a corridor. The subtle orange tinge of the sun ray that lit the marble arched corridor indicates the time. After some time walking, we arrived in front of a shiny two-leaf wooden door. A guard was situated at each leaf of the door. The attendant halted in front of the door. He briefly knocked on the wooden surface, and stepped back again. A soft, incomprehensible voice appeared from the other side of the door, before soon, the gua

Asher’s POV“There has been a report of sightings of several magenta auras located at the border of the kingdom. Albeit unsure of the source, the sentries placed there are alert.” Henry informed, while holding a piece of paper, presumably the report paper.He then sauntered closer and handed me the paper. I accepted the paper and skimmed through it, confirming Henry’s report. A sigh unconsciously escaped my lips.What does Avery want actually?After thinking of several reasons and causes for all the incidents, that occur in only within a day, I reached to that conclusion. What does Avery really want from Lancelot, that she even chased him to the ends of the world? Was the news of his death not enough for her? Was the display of the corpse not enough to make her stop?Then again, Avery was never the one to get attached to Lancelot. If that so, then why does she looked for him, and even proceeded to use a high-level dark magic

Lancelot’s POV“My Lord…” I heard my name being called. I turned behind me to see Taylor standing at a nearby distance, about a few steps away from me.I suddenly came to a realization.Ah, this dream again.I thought, while letting my body move on its own accord. It was one of those flashback dreams again, where I remembered my previous life. Though this time, I became the old Lancelot for the first time ever.How do I know that?“I told you to bring me a fancy attire, not this crappy one!” My hands moved on its own and slammed about three layers of clothing onto poor Taylor. The old butler trembled a bit due to the impact, but quickly picked himself up.I then fumed on my own while Taylor left.“Looking decent is not enough. I need to look even better when meeting my dear Avery! Should I put on more accessories on me?” Lancelot monologued loudly.As Lancelot was standing

With a slightly concerned tone, Princess Aisya said, “Are you alright, Count Constance?”I properly but quickly shot up, and met my eyes with her. “I am good. Apologies for making you worry.”The princess smiled. “I see. Thank goodness that you’re finally awake. You have been sleeping for almost two days, me and your friend here are starting to get worried of you.”I nodded my head. Then I dithered for a moment. “…How do you know my name, your highness?”Princess Aisya retained her smile. She then tossed a glance towards Suna beside her. “Master Suna has told me a little bit about you.”I fluttered my eyes. “Do you also call him ‘Master’, Your highness?”“Yes.” Princess Aisya suddenly chuckled, probably noticed my confusion and found it amusing. She then added, “He is

AsherAn hour after the incident, Taylor finally managed to disperse the crowd. While the workers returned to their routine, I asked Izana and the twins to follow me, along with Taylor, for a short discussion. Because of that, the five of us went to Lancelot’s office.“Obviously,” Izana spoke. “Obviously, this is Avery Ila Ronan’s doing. But I don’t remember her magic being this potent, and a teleportation magic like that can only work if one became a high-level mage. But Avery is not a high-level mage.”I heaved a long, low sigh. At the corner of my eyes, I saw Taylor diligently cleaned the room.“Fair enough.” I replied. “Still, there’s nothing that we can do now that both the Count and the Bivorak Company’s master disappeared. What matters the most is finding them, but right now, we don’t have any clue of their whereabouts.” I paused for a bit. “I just hope that n
