5.
The Duke of Reston’s castle is also called .
A place filled with clear blue magic, and a great place that shares the 300-year history of the Duke of Reston.
At the same time, it was also a place to train the of the Duke of Reston.
Haerang.
Literally wolves of the sea.
It is named after the founder of the Duke of Reston, who was said to have been granted magical powers by the sea.
‘Of course, it doesn’t have much to do with the sea now.’
The castle that the progenitor of the Duke of Reston, who received blessings from the North Sea and the Guardian Dragon of the North Sea, built when he advanced to the continent is this very Cheonghae Castle.
I think I once heard from Halo that there was a sanctuary for the Duke of Reston in the middle of the dangerous North Sea.
Caron nodded slowly and sank into the sofa.
As soon as I entered my parents’ house, they went to greet the elders of the family.
So I was left alone in this spacious reception room.
The servants were unpacking his luggage in the room he was going to use, and he didn’t want to be locked in the room.
‘Should I go to the study?’
The thing that Charon enjoyed most after being reincarnated was reading.
Because the world has changed a lot even though not much time has passed since his previous life.
Surely, if it were the Duke’s study, there would be many precious books.
“Um, who’s there?”
Caron called out to someone while sitting on the sofa.
Then a maid stepped forward cautiously.
“Did you call?”
“Is there any place where I can do some strength training…? No, I’d like to take a look around the study first.”
“I will serve you right away… … .”
That was when.
“You came to the study as soon as you got here? You’re a model student, just like I heard. I heard you’re a bookworm.”
A boy walked into the reception room.
Charon could tell at a glance that the boy was a member of the duke’s family.
Although it was a small amount, the magic of clarity could be felt from the boy’s body.
That magic power symbolizes the blood of the Duke of Reston flowing through his veins.
They seem to be around the same age, so they are probably the same age, and if we assume they are cousins, the answer is roughly clear.
Second Prince Lee Nam, Leo Reston. It must be him.
“My name is Leo Reston. He’s your cousin.”
Leo waved his hand in annoyance at the maid standing in front of Charon.
“You all get out. I’m thinking of having a secret conversation with my cousins.”
At those words, the maid in front of her bowed down in surprise. And in an instant, the servants in the reception room left their seats.
Just by looking at the servants’ reactions, I could guess what kind of person this guy was.
The two were left in the guest room like that.
“I wanted to give some advice about the opening ceremony to my cousin whom I am meeting for the first time.”
The guy said so and sat down across from Charon.
Caron stared at Leo’s face without saying anything.
“Oh, don’t be nervous. I came because my father told me to come and talk to you.”
Do you think Caron is scared of you?
The corners of the guy’s mouth turned up in a bitter manner as all the servants disappeared.
“I heard that your uncle couldn’t open his eyes. I heard that you, his son, are likely to be the same. So I’m wondering if you’re not worried. If you can’t open your eyes too, your grandfather might be really disappointed.”
The guy skillfully sells his grandfather’s name.
Caron quickly realized why the little boy in front of him had arranged this place.
Simple exploration, and then further to seize the initiative.
The way he did things was so cute and adorable that I thought I’d just play along with him for a while.
If you think about it, isn’t this the first time in your entire life that you’ve played with your cousin?
But after a while, the guy crossed the line very boldly.
“But don’t worry. Father doesn’t have any ill feelings toward you. He feels sorry for you. He says that the hero’s son is crazy about money like the others. It’s really embarrassing. Oh, and.”
It was a blatant insult.
Even though Pale was his uncle, he had no hesitation in his words or actions.
Leo leans his face toward Charon.
And then he whispered in a small voice, raising the corners of his lips.
“i think so too.”
Caron smiled brightly at his cousin who had spewed out verbal abuse.
“It’s refreshing. This kind of development was a bit unexpected. The dream tree that was growing in my family home was growing well.”
“……what?”
“It’s more than I thought. I just got hit with a gun. I need to be on guard. I might lose my spot if I’m not careful.”
I think we’ve been ignoring the fact that this family is the Halo family.
Considering that Halo guy was the most notorious scoundrel in the Empire… … I should have expected that his grandchildren would do something like this.
I think I let my guard down too much because my father was such a normal person, unlike Halo.
Caron stood up slightly.
Then Leo shrugged and said.
“You insulted my father, so should we duel? If you want, I will duel you without using any special magic. My older cousin is personally preparing you for his younger cousin’s funeral.”
“duel?”
“Growing up under a father who didn’t know chivalry, you might not know much about duels… … . Keuuuuuck!”
Phew.
Charon’s fist struck Leo just below the chin.
Underneath the scepter, where the core of magical power resides.
I could already tell this guy’s skills the moment I saw him. It’s true that he’s unlocked the magic power of Cheongmyeong, but the level of his magic power isn’t that high.
Magic is the power that allows humans to transcend human limitations.
However, it takes quite a long time to be able to use magic power freely.
At a certain level, it would be possible to use magical powers to harden one’s entire body like armor, but at Leo’s current level, this was impossible.
And above all, Caron.
“You, you… … how… … how do you… … magic power… … .”
“Oh, this?”
Woohoo.
The magic power of Cheongmyeong had already been opened.
Blue magic rippled from Charon’s hand.
“Hasn’t it been quite some time already?”
“Father… … . Father never said anything like that… … .”
“Of course, my grandfather doesn’t know. Even my parents don’t know.”
Charon laughed and kicked Leo in the stomach with his chest, causing Leo to fall backwards in an awkward manner.
“No. You know everything now. In fact, I got caught at the train station earlier.”
Knights waiting at the train station.
One of them has already noticed. It has probably reached the ears of grandfather or the elders of the family by now.
He had kept it well hidden from the knights of the mansion where he had been staying, but it was impossible to hide it from those who had surpassed a certain level of power.
It might have been a good thing that there was no contact with my parents’ home.
‘It’s a surprise party that I ambitiously prepared.’
This is just a taste.
Unlike his previous life, where he had no talent for magical power and would endlessly accumulate demonic magical power in his body, his current body accumulates magical power just by breathing.
What if you learn the Duke of Reston’s training method through the opening ceremony here?
It’ll be enough to surprise your grandfather and his friends.
Charon climbed onto Leo’s fallen body, laughing heartily.
“As you said, my father didn’t know chivalry, so he didn’t teach it to me. Duels? What’s a duel? When you’re young, you just fight each other and take turns. And above all.”
Phew.
Charon’s fist struck Leo in the face.
“Ugh… … . Eeeeek.”
“I hate duels, brother. Why do we need duels? You can just lose like this without worrying about what’s going on. I prefer this.”
The scream coming from Leo’s mouth was covered by Charon’s hand.
“If you scream, other people will come in, bro.”
It’s okay to curse at your grandfather. He deserves to be cursed at.
But cursing your father?
I can’t stand this. An anger I’ve never felt in my past life is creeping up on me.
Of course, that’s not the only reason for this defeat.
Charon felt a great threat from Leo.
The threat that I might lose the position I want.
“I didn’t know that my brother would be such a brat that he would spit out unfilial words towards my uncle! Is that why you’re so competitive?”
Phew.
Blood gushed from Leo’s nose. Leo screamed and writhed, but he could not escape Charon.
“I’ll be the scoundrel of this family. I’ll add all the wrinkles to your grandfather’s face.”
It’s a problem when there are more than two losers.
A bastard is meaningful only when he is alone. It should be entirely his responsibility to increase his grandfather’s worries.
It is right to eliminate competitors in advance.
This guy has already shown himself to be an outstanding scoundrel who is ready to commit a crime, but it’s better to have figured it out in advance.
Leo is young so it will be easy to correct him.
If you add a little violence, it will be a very easy rehabilitation.
“The Duke’s shepherd’s seat is just for me.”
Leo saw something sparkling in Charon’s eyes.
How should I express it?
It was hard for me, a twelve-year-old, to express it. I just understood one thing: that this cousin I had just met was crazy.
That’s why I was scared.
Because I don’t know what this crazy guy will do next.
Gulp.
“As soon as the son of the Third Prince entered the main house, he beat his cousin to the point of death. How is it, brother? This is my first step.”
Leo peed himself, but he didn’t even realize that he peed himself.
I didn’t even have time to realize it. The cousin in front of me was a devil.
“So, hyung, from now on, let’s be children who live properly. If you become a child who lives properly… … . Well, yes. Do you know that there must be light for there to be darkness? There must be a proper nobleman for there to be a scoundrel. I think you will do a pretty good job of that role, hyung.”
I have to nod.
Leo nodded, his body trembling. Only then did Charon stop swinging his fist.
“I understand?”
“Ugh, ugh, ugh.”
“It’s good that we can communicate well. I look forward to working with you in the future.”
For now, this situation has been averted. As soon as Leo leaves the reception room, he vows to tell his father about the whole situation.
If I were his father, I’m sure he would punish this crazy guy severely.
“But it’s a shame to end it like this.”
“town?”
“I’ll give you a generous amount. This is what you pay for insulting our father.”
Phew.
Phew.
The violence, which was thought to have ended, continued, and the merciless violence continued until Leo lost consciousness.
Only after Leo had foamed at the mouth and slumped over did Charon stand up, muttering in regret.
“Oh, I should have asked if any of my cousins had similar personalities… … . I guess I’ll ask that later. They all act quickly.”
Kwaaaaang-!
The closed door opened roughly, and soon the knights and adults of the family entered the reception room.
As soon as they entered, they gasped in shock at the sight of the inside.
“Leo, Leo! Doctor! Call the doctor and priest immediately!”
“Master Leo!”
The reception room becomes chaotic in an instant.
Charon smiled with satisfaction as he admired the spectacle he had created.
“… … Son.”
Pale was speechless as he looked at his son with blood on his hands. He could guess what had happened, but it was only a guess.
Because believing was a separate issue.
Just now, I heard something unbelievable from the third captain of the knights who were in charge of escorting us from the train station.
– The Duke has already awakened to the magic power of Cheongmyeong. If the Third Prince didn’t know… … The Duke must have been hiding that fact on purpose. Hiding magic power is not an easy task. As soon as this awakening ceremony is over, I plan to hold the Third Prince and the knights working at the Third Prince’s mansion accountable. I would appreciate your cooperation.
That my son has already acquired magical powers.
I don’t know how long my son has been hiding that fact from me.
That alone would have turned the family upside down, but this time he even beat up his own cousin.
Even to Pale, the condition of his nephew who had just been carried away was serious.
Despite the series of major incidents, my son’s expression was confident. No, he even had a smile on his face.
“I insulted my father.”
His son spoke to him confidently.
“I couldn’t just sit by and watch someone openly insult my father, the man I respect most in the world.”
“… … Son, this is… … .”
“It looks good. Isn’t it, Dad?”
But Pale couldn’t ask his son anything else.
because.
“older brother!”
Because Raphael, Leo’s father and Charon’s second uncle, grabbed Charon by the collar and lifted him up.
“Brother, stop it.”
“Pale, your son beat my son to that extent. Would you have stayed still?”
Raphael glared at Charon, still holding him by the collar.
The youngest nephew I met for the first time.
But the youngest nephew paid no attention and accepted her gaze.
And that’s not all.
Instead, he spoke to himself with a smile.
“Nice to meet you, Uncle. My name is Caron Reston.”
“He’s quite an interesting guy.”
“My uncle’s son insulted my father. How could my uncle have stayed silent while he insulted my father?”
A ten-year-old boy returned the words his uncle had uttered.
At that moment, the atmosphere in the waiting room becomes cold.
The servants did not dare to stop them, and Sarah, Charon’s mother, looked as if she would faint at any moment.
Pale clenched his teeth and struck Raphael’s hand. Then he held Charon in his arms and said.
“This is my son.”
“It was my son who was carried away. It seems like your son didn’t receive proper manners education. I will educate him instead.”
“At least, I don’t think it’s something you should be involved in.”
“Pale, you are now… … .”
The one who stopped the imminent situation was none other than the old butler, Heinrich.
Heinrich stopped them and said:
“Your Majesty, the Lord has sent word for you to come in with the Duke’s grandson.”
The master of the house called them.
Pale felt a chill run down his spine at that moment.
How on earth should I explain this situation to my father? Considering his personality, there was no way he could just let this situation go.
But the only son, whether he knew his father’s feelings or not.
“I think this is the first time I’ve seen my grandfather since I was born. Wow, I’m looking forward to it.”
He just smiled brightly and held his father’s hand.
There’s a mad dog living in the duke’s house
