Episode 3 1. I Dream of Being a Man (2)

3.

After finishing his enjoyable exercise with the knights, Caron returned to his room and laid down on his bed, letting out a deep sigh.

Opening ceremony.

I know very well that it is the most important ceremony in the life of a direct descendant of the Duke of Reston.

The greatest meaning of the opening ceremony is to release magical power.

After unlocking the of the Reston Duke family, he grows up as a respectable member of the Reston Duke family.

I know full well that my father failed in his attempt to open the door.

I also heard about how he was treated in his family because of that through his father’s drunken remarks.

Pale doesn’t know if Caron remembers the story, since it happened when he was very young.

“Father, it seems that I, who inherited your blood, might not be able to open my eyes… … .”

As a father, it’s natural to worry about your child’s future.

In particular, if the father has bad memories of the memorial service, he will be even more worried.

But Charon knows that all those worries are unfounded.

because.

Woof woof woof.

This is because Caron had already released the magic power of Cheongmyeong.

Blue magic rippling from the fingertips.

Once, the pure and refined magic he had longed for. It felt strange to see this magic, which he had felt was exclusive to Halo, shining at his fingertips.

“Hmm.”

One day, this magic of clarity suddenly seeped into my body.

Was it 3 years ago?

When I woke up, it was there on my body like a gift.

Normally, it would be possible to open magical passages throughout the body using magical power, but Caron had no intention of opening magical passages yet.

It would be possible to open a passage using memories of a previous life, but that was only a method learned by the Imperial Guard.

It’s difficult when other people ask where I learned the method of training.

Moreover, it is even more so because it is a method of training that would have been put into practice by now.

‘This body doesn’t fit either.’

The magical power he possessed in his previous life was magical power bestowed upon him by the Emperor.

To be exact, it is the devil’s magic power that the emperor received from the devil.

‘At first, I didn’t know it was the devil’s, so I accepted it and ate it without hesitation.’

It could be said that this pure magical power was the polar opposite of the magical power that he possessed now.

Just as each material has its own processing method, so does magical power.

There was no need to push myself too hard since I could learn the excellent training methods of the Duke of Reston if I waited anyway.

Of course, that doesn’t mean that magical power was left alone.

Knock knock.

Caron took a fist-sized rock out of the drawer next to his bed.

A small stone that glows with a soft blue light.

At first glance, it may look like just a pretty stone, but despite its appearance, it is a magic stone that is traded at a higher price than gold of the same weight.

A stone imbued with magical power.

In other words, a stone that can hold magical powers.

This is an item I received as a gift from a wizard who came to the territory.

Although it is a useful item for wizards, it is also an item used by the royal family to practice the use of magical power.

Jiiing.

As Charon pours his magic into the stone, the stone vibrates and resonates.

Although it is not possible to open the magic passage, it is possible to adapt the body itself to facilitate the use of magic.

This is because simply releasing magical power and concentrating it on one point activates detailed magical circuits.

‘Once I go back to my parents’ house, I won’t have to do things like this anymore.’

It is simply a method to acclimate the body to magical power before learning the training method.

After you learn the method of training, you can use it to open the passage.

At the age of just ten, it would be impossible to use this much magical power, but this body is easily able to accomplish such absurd feats.

The same goes for physical recovery.

Even if you exercise until you collapse from exhaustion the day before, you will recover as if nothing happened the next day.

It is a condition that cannot even be compared to a previous life.

This is because at this age in my previous life, I often went hungry because of my trashy master.

“Phew.”

Caron nodded, letting out a deep breath.

At this point, it’s ready to grow quickly.

With this overflowing talent, it won’t take long for you to reach the level you reached in your previous life.

Set a goal.

Halo, I want to be stronger than that guy. I want to surpass that guy and make fun of him before he gets old and dies.

Right now, I have no intention of saying that it is the reincarnation of Cain.

At least become stronger than him, or just before he dies.

At that very moment, he will say, ‘I was reborn as your grandson.’ He will say it in a very sarcastic tone, to make you as angry as possible.

It was a kind of revenge. Revenge on a friend whose death he didn’t want to be remembered for a long time, but whose death people remembered for a long time.

After that… … .

“We have to beat up those devil bastards.”

Devils, that is, demons.

I will track down and kill all the demons who made deals with the evil emperor.

I don’t know the reason for this amazing reincarnation, but it gave me a good opportunity.

With this body free from control.

With this body that has gained freedom.

I will hunt down and tear to pieces all the monsters that once toyed with my fate.

“After all, strength comes first.”

This opening ceremony is the starting point of all these plans.

It is still time for the family to protect him. It is important for him to grow up enough to be able to receive the family’s protection.

Checks and balances within the family?

That’s cute compared to the threats from outside the family.

It’s better to be the youngest grandson of a warlord than to be a slave in an underground arena where your life is threatened every night. At least there is some kind of discipline here.

Woohoo.

Charon strongly infused magical power into the magic stone he was holding in his hand.

Then, after a while.

Passssss.

The stone he was holding in his hand crumbled into dust.

I don’t need this toy anymore.

“It’s gonna be fun.”

He walked to the window, holding the cinder cone in his hand, opened it, and blew the cinder cone out with his mouth.

A sparkling powder swirled in the air.

The bright full moon briefly seeps into the powder and then disappears.

Today the full moon was particularly bright.

Charon smiled faintly as he looked at the full moon.

Although I was confused at the beginning of my reincarnation, I was not like that now.

The new life and new opportunities given to him were nothing but happiness.

4.

Two weeks passed, and the day came when I had to go home to prepare for the opening ceremony.

Outside the train window, the scenery passes by at a very fast speed.

Caron let out a small exclamation of admiration as he admired the scenery.

“and.”

And Sarah, Caron’s mother, who was watching this from the side, smiled gently and said.

“Are trains interesting?”

“It’s my first time riding a train. It’s so exciting.”

The existence of a train running on the tracks could not have been anything but an unfamiliar thing to Charon.

An iron horse that runs on tracks using a horsepower engine.

I heard that it was being developed at the Imperial Academy in my previous life, but I had no idea that the invention would be commercialized to this extent.

“This track is the first one to be opened on the continent. It was the project your father devoted the most effort to.”

“Father?”

“Then. Your father is the greatest patron of the Imperial Academy, isn’t he? Many technologies have been commercialized thanks to your father, and the Duke of Reston is the biggest beneficiary of those technologies… … .”

“Ahem, ma’am. You’re so embarrassing.”

“If we were Caron, we would understand how important this line is. Right, Caron?”

They are a really good couple.

Caron smiled happily as he looked at his parents.

As Sarah said, Charon knows very well what this track means.

The train played a role in dramatically improving not only the transport of people but also the flow of goods through the duke’s domain.

Sarah’s words were not an exaggeration.

In that respect, Caron highly regarded Pale’s insight.

“Father, you are truly amazing.”

“I’m embarrassed.”

Pale chuckled and patted his son’s head. Then he continued speaking in a soft voice.

“There will be a lot of things to do when you go back to your parents’ house. It will be your first time meeting your relatives, so you will be nervous. But don’t worry too much. Your father is by your side.”

It doesn’t matter if my son doesn’t achieve anything significant in this opening ceremony.

It’s probably because he inherited his blood that didn’t develop talent.

But ignoring your son is a separate matter.

Pale hoped his son would never feel the same sense of defeat and helplessness that he had.

‘Again? The difficulty level of being a son is too high.’

Caron sighed and grabbed Pale’s hand, whose expression had darkened. Then he answered with a bright smile.

“Don’t be nervous. You’re your father’s son.”

What a tension, now it’s more fun than ever.

Just thinking about the countless events that await me back home makes me excited.

Caron had been very sad about not having any contact with his relatives until now.

‘I wanted to get a taste in advance.’

Get to know your relatives and their faces, and get a feel for the atmosphere at the Duke of Reston.

It would have been good in many ways.

‘Well… … It’s obvious even without looking.’

I had a rough idea of ​​what the situation would be like for the third prince who was excluded from the line of succession.

In my previous life, I was in the imperial court, where all sorts of political intrigues were rampant. Based on my experience back then, it wasn’t all that difficult to predict the current situation of the Duke of Reston.

A faction divided into the 1st and 2nd factions.

It’s been a while since my father was excluded from the line of succession, so it’s clear that the two factions are divided and fighting like dogs.

It would be quite fun to ruin that composition.

‘That’s a story for later, though.’

Right now, the opening ceremony comes first.

Creak.

As Caron was gathering his thoughts, the train stopped and his parents stood up from their seats.

“You’ve arrived.”

Before I knew it, I could see the train station outside the window, and I could see people waiting in advance at the train station.

People who appear to be servants of the Duke’s household and knights wearing armor of a silvery blue color.

Caron got off the train with his parents.

Then, an old butler with a kind expression bowed politely and greeted me.

“Welcome, Third Prince. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you.”

Pale nodded with a faint smile at the polite greeting.

“Has it been a year? How have you been, Heinrich?”

“I am always doing well thanks to the grace given by the Duke.”

The butler, named Heinrich, exchanged a quick greeting with Sarah.

And soon, my eyes met with Charon’s.

“He is my son.”

“Your Highness. Nice to meet you. My name is Heinrich.”

This is also a connection from a previous life.

A young butler who was busy dealing with the accident caused by Halo. Even in his old age, the butler still remains in the duke’s household.

Caron smiled and nodded at the old butler’s greeting.

“I’m Caron Reston. Nice to meet you, Heinrich.”

I almost unconsciously spoke informally to him, but I greeted him with at least the bare minimum of courtesy.

A butler who has worked for a family for a long time and has stayed by the head of the household his entire life is someone who deserves respect.

There was no need to give a bad impression from the very first meeting.

“Then, from now on, we will take care of it.”

“Please.”

Caron glanced up at Pale’s face.

A somewhat tense expression.

It was a face that even felt resolute.

I didn’t hate that part. It was proof that my father loved me that much.

“Don’t worry, Charon. Nothing will happen.”

“I told you I’m not nervous.”

“It’s okay to be honest with us. Isn’t that right, ma’am?”

“As Charon said, you… … .”

Maybe that’s what he’s saying to himself.

Charon quickly grabbed his father and mother’s hands and got into the carriage that had been prepared in advance with them.

Unfortunately for Caron, there was no chance of ‘nothing happening’.

If nothing happens.

‘I have to wake him up. It’s my first time visiting my parents’ house, so how can nothing happen?’

I couldn’t miss the moment when I first met the members of the family.

Caron Reston, 10 years old this year.

The dream of the Duke’s youngest grandson was to become the Duke’s worst scoundrel.

And the opportunity to button up that dream came sooner than expected.

There’s a mad dog living in the duke’s house
