Pierre Giesel, heir to the Giesel family, felt as if the anger in his heart was soaring to the sky.

As expected, the Giesel family was one of the so-called “Torgenberg Four Great Families”.

Nevertheless, the stigma of having done nothing in this war was built up. ‘While the Mayer family is defeating their enemies.’

It would have been better if everyone had done nothing together. If I had done that, I would have been criticized less.

However, as the Mayer family defeated its enemies, the successors of the four major families all lost face. They were even called ‘one of the four great families, inferior only to the May family’.

Because of this, the heads of the four major families were scolded by their successors who acted as the castle lords during their absence, saying, ‘What did you do while the Mayer family was fending off the enemy?’ They were extremely sensitive due to such longing.

In such a situation, the target was Franz Mayer.

“That Franz Mayer.”

When Franz Mayer was young, he was in a situation where he was abandoned after throwing tantrums asking to be included in the games of the four generations of his family. He was also a loser who couldn’t do anything right no matter what he did.

That kind of loser made a major. They were being compared and criticized because of their major.

“In the past, the guy who couldn’t even make eye contact with us… ”

In the past, he was just a loser. And he stayed asleep for five years. In fact, since he would not have grown mentally, he would have remained the same as before.

That’s what I thought. I had no idea that the living person inside Franz Mayer was a completely different person. That’s why I started a fight. Because I thought the old loser was Franz Mayer.

“Can’t you even enjoy drinking alcohol? It’s still boring. Franz Mayer.”

There was an argument. Franz Mayer thought he would cover it up with a shy smile, avoiding the gaze of the 4th generation heirs. As before. however…

-Sigh!

The next moment. Alcohol was splashed on Pierre Giselle’s face.

—–

“What a crazy guy! What are you doing!”

Pierre Gizelle’s face was sprayed with alcohol, and the heirs of the other four families ran wild. Meanwhile, Franz Mayer and Lee Si-woo were seriously concerned.

‘What was this guy’s name?’

Was he the successor to the Endia family? Or was he the heir of the Giselle family? I think it’s one of the two, but I can’t quite remember.

Your memory is not the problem. This guy had no presence. That’s because before this guy becomes the head of the family, the 4th generation family becomes the head of the port and becomes a pointless person.

The day will never come when this bastard becomes the head of the family and enjoys proper power. With that in mind, Franz Mayer picked up another bottle and took a quick drink.

‘Ugh~ It’s not tasty. ‘Why do I eat this?’

After taking a shot of alcohol, Franz Mayer, who had a frown on his face, was met with protests from four people, or rather, three people excluding the one who froze after being hit with alcohol.

“What a crazy guy! Why on earth would you do something like this! Do you think you can take care of it!”

“If you twist it, it sticks.”

“Good, this guy! Take out the sword… ”

“Not with me, but with Asilia.”

“… ”

“A great warrior is chosen in the name of Mayer. Surely you’re not going to directly fight a patient who’s been asleep for 5 years?”

Yes. What Lee Si-woo believed in was entirely Asilia. This is the S-class force that was brought in at best. She will be happier if you at least sell her name rather than bring her in and leave her alone. You’ll be happy, right? I guess so.

The heirs of the four great families could not say anything. I just don’t know what to do and just gape.

And there was a person looking at the scene with an unknown expression. He was Andeln von Setia, the successor to the Setia family. He looked at Franz, who had been drinking, and the children of the 4th generation family who had not done anything, making a complicated expression and staring quietly.

Franz also had a temper and didn’t just let it go, but from Andeln’s point of view, it would have been a truly difficult situation. It must have been unclear which side to take, as the heirs of the four great families, who were his direct subordinates, were fighting with Franz Mayer, the new subordinate he was trying to recruit (in his own opinion).

Andeln waved his hand quietly. It meant to go away.

Franz Mayer bowed politely to Andeln and left the banquet hall. In that way, the banquet ended quietly in an atmosphere where water was literally thrown on.

—–

“You did one thing.”

It was Asilia who said that.

“Thanks to you, it ended well.”

“Thanks to whom?”

“Asilia.”

“Me?”

“I avoided the situation by selling Asilia’s name.”

She looked at me with disdain. But I tried to ignore those stares and continued walking.

“There are things that men have to solve alone.”

“Because I am a man who waits for his time.”

“Don’t you think today was that time?”

“Oh my! Was it today? I missed it! I will come again next time.”

“I can’t overcome it with words.”

She shook her head and followed after me. After walking for a while, I arrived at a place where my sister, Lucille, was there.

“Lucille, let’s go.”

“Yes? Where?”

“Home. The atmosphere has become annoying to stay here for a long time.”

Unfortunately, the party is over. I slowly decided to go back.

“Did you fight with the heir of the 4th generation?”

“How did you know?”

“My brother contributed alone while the 4th generation heirs did nothing, so there must have been comparisons between the successors. So he must have been dissatisfied.”

“Ah, that’s why there was an argument.”

Now I understand all the reasons. Actually, it’s not that I didn’t know, it’s just that I wasn’t interested.

“Then, shall we go?”

“What is your luggage?”

“All you need is a book. I’ll leave the rest to the servants.”

“Yes. Let’s go.”

Lucille and I headed to the carriage.

But the moment I was about to get into the carriage.

“Wait a minute!”

Someone shouted outside.

“Brother Franz!”

huh? older brother? I guess there’s no one in this world who calls me that?

Since it was before the carriage left, I got out of the carriage and took a look at the person whose voice was coming from me. It was a boy about Lucille’s height. Is he about 11 years old?

‘Who is it… ?’

For a moment I wondered who it was, but when I looked closely, I could tell. Looking closely, there was a slight resemblance to Andeln von Setia.

‘Adele von Setia?’

The second son of the Setia family. It had to be Adele von Setia.

“It’s me! Adele! It was so big you couldn’t recognize it, right?”

“Ah, Adele. Hello.”

“Brother! What kind of respect is there between us? Please treat me like before.”

As before? So, did Adele and Franz know each other before he lost his mind?

‘But I need to know what kind of relationship it was.’

Even though I entered Franz’s body, I couldn’t even know Franz’s personal history, so I decided to speak up for now.

“I was young back then, and now I definitely know my place. Adele is the master’s son. I am the son of a subject. Please stop calling me ‘brother’ and speak to me to a lower level. Just like you treat other vassals.”

Conversely, the idea was to point out Adele’s title.

“Is that so? haha… A lot has changed.”

“Yes. It has changed.”

“Brother… No, Sir Franz has also changed a lot. I almost didn’t recognize him.”

“Because a lot of time has passed.”

“You don’t know how worried I was when I heard that I wasn’t getting up from my hospital bed. Seeing it again like this gives me endless emotions.”

“I am truly grateful that you said that.”

what? Were Franz and Adele always on good terms?

In the original story, Franz only appears in one line, so we should know… It’s fortunate that Adele is a larger character than Franz. I had information about Adele.

“Do you still like flying kites?”

It was recorded that Adele loved flying kites from her childhood until her death. Unlike his psychopathic older brother or father, he has a kind heart. Then, Adele’s face brightened at my question.

“Don’t just like it! There is a new kite I made this time, would you like to see it?”

“Because the time is not good. I will postpone it until later.”

Then his expression noticeably worsened again.

“Is that so? There’s nothing you can do if you’re busy.”

“I will come again next time.”

“It’s a promise. It must be observed.”

“Yes.”

And then the moment I was about to get on the carriage.

“And this.”

Adele handed me something. When I looked closely, I saw that it was a kite.

“This?”

“Lucille… It is a gift to ”

Adele blushed and frowned as she said that. What is it, boy? Do you like Lucille?

It’s a pity, but I can’t give you 100 intelligence. With that in mind, he accepted the kite with a smile on his face.

“I will make sure to pass this on to Lucille. Lucille will be happy too.”

When I turned around after saying hello, he waved at me with a bright smile on his face. I wonder how such an innocent son came from such a beast-like Henrik. They look similar, but the atmosphere is completely different. I wish my brother and father were half as good as that friend. With that in mind, I got on the carriage.

—–

“Do you know me as Adele?”

“Adele von Setia. You are Henryk’s second son.”

“He told me to give this to you. Are you two close?”

“No. It seems like a one-sided favoritism situation on that side.”

“Does he like you?”

“It was like that when I saw it before. It is still unclear whether that will still be the case.”

“Aha… ”

It seems that what I vaguely felt was true.

“What about you?”

“I’m not interested at all. However, I think the kites that Adele makes are a luxury item in their own way. There’s no harm in having a few.”

“You’re cool.”

“I decided that I would never get married in my life. Since I decided not to get married, it would be wiser not to date.”

huh? Was that what you were thinking? The moment I was about to ask why, Lucille continued.

“Adele has been good at making kites since she was young. If he had been born as the son of a merchant rather than the son of a lord, he would have made a lot of money by making kites.”

“You speak as if your qualifications as a lord are not very good?”

“It’s actually not that good. Before considering whether or not you are suitable for it, you are not interested in the first place. About politics and diplomacy.”

“Hmm… ”

Well, that’s right. It was the same in the game’s story.

“The good news is that it is my second son and not my first son. The eldest son, Andeln, is very interested in the family succession, and the second son, Adel, is not, so it is fortunate that Andeln is not wary of Adel and that no sibling fights occur.”

“That’s right. Andeln has extraordinary ambition.”

Andeln’s ambition is to devour the empire. Although he did not want world unification as much as I did, he had great ambitions of his own.

“Please, Adele should not become a lord. For yourself and for others.”

“Well. How about that?”

As someone who knew the future, my feelings could not help but become complicated. After riding the carriage like that for a while, we were able to arrive at Mayer Castle.
