VOLUME 1 – CHILDHOOD

Epilogue

Pack (03/03)

NT: I also wanted to make one more chapter of this, but… the time is not on my side. I have a few things to do (homework and, well, that quien of stuff), and, well, y wanted to make a few chapters of LV999 before disapearing fow a couple of weeks… again. So, yeah, i couldn’t. Anyway, enjoy.

The next day.

I woke up early in the morning.

Although I still felt some pain from my injuries, it wasn’t enough to prevent me from standing up.

When I looked out the window, I could see the newspaper shops being crowded with people.

Apparently the rumors about what had happened yesterday had already spread throughout the city.

People were screaming while asking for a copy of the newspaper where they related what really happened.

One of the newspapers was carried to the window of my room, on the second floor of the mansion, by the wind.

I picked it up and read its content.

『Western Lands Noble loses duel against Fallen Noble』

『The miraculous victory of the House of Din.

Will their greedy demands shake the country?』

『The unusual circumstance where the King accepted their incredible demands after carefully examining them』

『It was found out that the House of Horgos had hired assassins.

Is the recent incident where the King’s Messenger was attacked also be the work of Lord Durf? The suspect is kept under interrogation』

『Due to the approval of their rival’s demands, The House of Hogos income decreases dramatically』

Well, I guess it turned out as I thought.

Since I had already been able to hear the hearing result yesterday, this did not surprise me too much.

The people of the Northern Noble District――

Mainly the nobles who received support from Hogos House, must be grinding their teeth at this time.

Most of the nobles in the Southern Noble District are against the superior nobles.

This particularly happens with the nobles who come from rural areas who had to endure their constant abuses while acting petty in the Capital.

It was because of this that the citizens of the capital wore happier looks on their faces after learning what had happened.

After that I went to the office that was on the first floor.

There, I opened the door while wondering if Shadiberga had already woken up.

When I entered, I could find him sitting in front of his desk.

「Good morning, Father」

「Ah, so you got up.

We will stay here until noon, why don’t you go pack your luggage before we head back?」

After saying that, Shadiberga refocused on the documents on his desk.

His serious gaze made it look like he was working hard.

「Are you organizing the information about the territories we obtained from the Hogos House? It must be difficult」

「… Do you want to do it, Regis?」

「Put that down. It’s still too early for me to take care of those things」

Well, I don’t really want to do it when I reach adulthood, either.

It doesn’t seem like a suitable job for a man with zero office job skills like me.

Shadiberga nodded depressed after hearing my reply.

Yesterday he had an audience with the King and his subordinates.

He must also be exhausted.

However, as a result of the negotiations that took place during that hearing, we were able to obtain excellent results.

According to the conclusion reached by the King, the things that the Din House obtained from the Hogos House were the following:

『First, 90% of the Gold and Silver mines owned by the Hogos House will be transferred to the Din House』

These mineral resources were an important source of income for the Horgos’s House.

However, since most of their income came from the commercial area, they ended up ruthlessly mining the place.

The mountains on the other side of the river, which were difficult to manage, were left to Hogos House.

Taking into account national interests, it is concluded that the best thing would be to allow Hogos House to manage the remaining 10%.

Well, we still got enough.

They also won’t be able to move for a while because of that.

Following.

『Second, the territory under the Hogos House―― Specifically, 30% of the surrounding territory would be ceded to the Din House』

There was a slight change in that demand.

Even if we acquired a large territory, it wouldn’t make sense if we weren’t able to govern it properly.

The Din House has few people at its disposal, we wouldn’t be able to manage that much land.

Therefore, taking into account our own territory, it was decided that we would be assigned the plains adjacent to our territory.

In addition, we were also given full authority in decision-making related to the control of that territory.

It would be too troublesome if the territory was too big, even for us.

So, the changes in this demand were perfect in that regard.

Following.

『Third, 50% of the properties of Hogos House will be transferred to the Din House』

In this case, with personal assets we refer to the monetary funds of their House and not to material items.

The Hogos House was forced to give us the money they had been accumulating for a long time.

The reason why they came to this conclusion was that the Kingdom would have been in trouble if the house of one of the noblemen in charge of the defense of the western zone was collapsed.

That said, they had transferred the assets to us with extreme reluctance.

I’m sure they are biting their scarves in frustration right now.

By the way, it seems that this money will be used for the maintenance and improvement of our newly expanded territory.

Shadiberga was breaking his head deciding where to allocate the funds he had just acquired.

It looks like he’ll be busy with that until noon.

And then finally.

『Fourth, the complete reconstruction of the magic shop managed by Miss Edgar』

The latter remained unchanged.

It seemed that the cost to rebuild the shop and replace the destroyed goods would be fully reimbursed.

I was worried about what I should do if they refuse to compensate her for the damage.

Anyway, Edgar should be able to bounce back with this.

Financially at least.

The door of the mansion opened vigorously as I recalled the results of yesterday’s hearing.

Who entered was our personal Super Maid.

Wokins.

She seems to have gone somewhere.

To think that she would leave early in the morning. She seriously works hard.

「Welcome, Wokins」

「Good morning, Regis-sama」

「Did you go somewhere?」

「Yes, in the morning I went shopping at the market」

She have been shopping huh.

The bags Wokins carried were full of dangerous-looking things.

Those are not things you commonly find in a market.

「What are you planning to use those things for?」

「To search for something」

「What exactly are you planning to search for?」

「Mainly books and similar things.

I plan to use these things to get rid of any hidden mechanisms or doors that I find」

I think I heard Shadiberga sneezing in his office.

He must be having a hard time dealing with all these inconveniences.

Apparently, Sefina’s orders are still going on.

I must be careful not to end up caught in the middle of their conflict.

I felt bad for Shadiverga, but all I could do was wish him all the best so he could come back alive.

「But hey, it was kind of troublesome when I got out.

As I was walking through the Northern Noble District, the nobles began yelling things like, 『Know your place』 and that kind of stuff」

「… That is unforgivable. We should teach them some manners later」

For me, insulting Wokins is the equivalent of insulting a goddess.

I’ll make sure they never say something like that again.

While planning my revenge, Wokins shake her head.

「You don’t need to do that.

However, I am surprised that the King heard such unreasonable demands」

「On the contrary. It is exactly because they were unreasonable that he agreed」

Wokins tilted her head in confusion at my words.

It may be that what I say sounds contradictory.

However, I can assure you that I am not wrong.

It was worth breaking that unwritten law by making several demands.

Thanks to that, we acquired the title of 『Greedy fallen nobles without common sense』 from the other nobles.

Although I don’t like that they use so many words, so I would like them to try to learn a new vocabulary.

Furthermore, Shadiberga’s stress could increase if the length of that title begins to increase.

「We could have acted normally and asked for what any other Noble House would have done, such as «5% of their silver mine.»

If we had, our demand would have been met immediately and it would all be over.

However, the King was surely looking forward to the opportunity to wrest some power from the nobles of the west.

After all, their behavior has been getting worse recently.

So the King decided to take this opportunity when we decided to make those unreasonable demands after winning the duel――」

「… Thanks to the Supplemental Laws of the Duel, the King was able to modify the demands made of the winner.

So, in order to weaken the influence of the Hogos House, which had been doing whatever they want here in the Capital, he agree to give part of its assets to the Din House, a weak family of fallen nobles」

「Well, if I must say it differently, then I would say that the circumstances has become our ally this time」

That was something that occurred to me after hearing the rumors about the nobles in the Northern Noble District.

I thought that if things went well, I could take power away from the Hogos House.

And it was a success.

With this, the Hogos House will not be able to move again as it has done until now.

If things go well, they could even end up losing the right to use the last name 『Zajim』.

They took thar last name by abusing of their authority, so it is not as if they deserve it anyway.

「Oh right. It seems that we will stay here until noon, so it might be better for us to get ready firs」

「Understood. Then I will go to prepare my luggage」

Wokins went up the stairs.

However, even so, she still looks cute.

Each of her actions is full of tenderness.

Ah, my heart, don’t rush.

So now let’s talk about what happened to Durf after that.

First, the Stalin brothers managed to escape death after receiving treatment.

However, they suffered too severe injuries during that overwhelming failure.

Therefore, it is unlikely that they will do any work as assassins again.

Furthermore, both were severely restricted after their criminal acts came to light.

They were charged with the attempted murder against Shadiberga and with the attack against the King’s Envoy.

I doubt that they will be able to get out of prison alive after considering the seriousness of the crimes they committed.

Incidentally, who won the award for 『The most severe injury』 was, surprisingly, Durf.

He had burns all over his body.

His ribs broke and stabbed into his lungs, and several other internal organs seems to have been severely damaged.

Furthermore, due to the multiple and severe fractures he received in numerous parts of his body, he was unable to fully recover, even after receiving the treatment.

By the way, apparently, when the demands were approved, Durf had to be carried off on a stretcher to meet Shadiberga.

At that moment, Durf remembered my face and ended up convulsing until he passed out.

I don’t think I really look like Shadiberga.

However, I wonder what would happen if we met again face to face.

Well, he probably won’t get involved with us again so I doubts it will happen.

That’s what I’m really thankful for.

The Din House acquired a great financial income as a result of the duel we had in the capital.

I would like to take this opportunity to break free from our fallen noble state.

However, since apparently the highest positions in the Kingdom are still held by corrupt nobles, that could end up taking a little more time than I thought.

This victory will only serve as a fulcrum for then.

Oh well.

There is no point in thinking about such a distant future right now.

For now, I should just go eat something.

I went up to the second floor while thinking about what would I have for breakfast.

◆◆◆◆◆

It is time, I am ready for anything.

I’ve already prepared myself for this horrible torture.

The carriage carrying the Din Family departed from the Capital at great speed.

By the way, I started shaking as soon as I got in the carriage.

That reminds me, I recently made fun of Shadiberga because his face had turned as blue as the ocean.

I really regret that. I swear I have reflected on that.

I say that because at the moment I am not far from his level.

My face had turned purple, close to indigo.

Shadiberga and Wokins had sat on either side of me.

And they were both rubbing my back.

「… Seriously, you’re really weak against motion sickness」

「I think Regis-sama’s frail appearance is also charming」

「Shu-Shut up. You’re making it worse」

Stop teasing me while the carriage keeps moving.

If you two don’t stop, I will end up covering everything with my vomit.

Is that what you want?

I am really proud of my great resistance to pain and my patience.

However, I have been bad with motion sickness since my previous life.

I remember when I was on the train and became a kind of vomit sprinkler, I even got dizzy when I had to go through a meandering bike track.

By the way, back then, I ended up colliding with a vehicle and had to be hospitalized for 3 months due to the severity of the injuries I suffered at the time.

It’s kind of interesting, I was able to endure a lot of pain but still end up being killed by a steel frame.

Well, it doesn’t matter, what I mean is that dizziness is a kind of eternal arch enemy for me.

「Anyway, Regis, you’ve become really strong.

I doubted you were able to defeat that assassin」

「Did you think I would lose, Father?」

「N-No. I didn’t mean that. It’s just that overwhelming power you showed reminded me of Sefina at her peak…」

Now that I remember it, Sefina came from a House specialized in the use of magic and swords.

Apparently, if it wasn’t for her current condition, she would probably be the country’s pride for her outstanding skills even now.

Ignoring the fact that her House ended up disappearing due to its continuous conflicts with others nobles, she herself seemed to possess considerable strength.

However, Shadiberga, that was a silly thing to say.

「Of course I am strong. I plan to go to the Royal Academy of Magic after all」

「…… Eh?」

Shadiberga let out his voice in surprise.

Come to think of it, I haven’t mentioned the things about Sefina’s cure to him.

Shadiberga’s face stiffened when he found out that I wanted to go to the Royal Academy of Magic.

「Do you really want to go to the Royal Academy of Magic?」

「That’s right, is there a problem with that?」

「Wokins, did you hear what Regis just said?」

「I heard it perfectly」

「In that case, did you know about the discrimination which――」

「Shadiberga-sama will be able to do something about it, right?」

Wokins interrupted Shadiberga the moment he tried to raise an objection.

It was a question that Shadiberga didn’t really need to answer.

However, contrary to my expectations, he nodded as he wiped away the cold sweat that fell from his forehead.

「… Tha-That’s correct.

If Regis wants to go, then I must support him in any way I can」

Apparently, there are still some obstacles for me to enter the Royal Academy of Magic.

I didn’t know anything about it, I must investigate more about that.

It seems that the things I should do have increased.

Shadiberga holds his head downcast.

「… In that case, I have no choice but to ask her.

It’s a annoying, I had said to myself that I wouldn’t ever trust her again since she betrayed me the last time」

I wonder who is he talking about this time.

Shadiberga seems to have some weird connections, making it difficult to know which one of them is.

But, judging by the atmosphere, it seems that this person will be crucial to my progress.

「Well, the minimum age to be admitted is 15, right?

All I can do for now is increase my control over my magic power」

「That’s right. This Wokins will make sure to do her best by supporting you」

「That’s right. For now, just let me take care of the admission problem.

Everyone must take care of what they can until then」

Ooh, so you can also say good things once in a while.

The moment I tried to praise his admirable words, the carriage shake.

It seems that we just entered the wastelands.

Due to the sudden jolt, my internal organs began to agonize.

「… Guh, this is bad. I-I can’t contain it――」

No matter what I do, I’ll definitely gonna throw up.

The moment I try to open the window, Wokins grabs my head.

Then she pulled it and pressed me against her chest.

I was completely paralyzed by her sudden action.

「… Wo-Wokins?

It’s dangerous, get away from me. At this rate I――」

I’m going to throw up.

The moment I tried to tell her that, she hugged me tighter.

*Gyu~*, I thought I heard the sound of her breasts pressing against my face.

As a result, my face ended up buried deep between her breasts.

Due to my nervousness and surprise that I felt at that time, added to the sweet smell that Wokins emanated, I ended up saying goodbye to all my reason and sense of balance.

It’s useless.

My nausea peaked the moment Wokins pressed me against herbreasts, I’m going to…

「… It’s gone」

「Are you feeling better now, Regis-sama?」

The moment Wokins pressed my face against her breasts, all the nausea I felt disappeared.

The unpleasant feeling that was driving me inward was completely gone.

The stagnant air in my lungs was quickly replaced by the sweet fragrance of Wokins.

It didn’t take long for my physical condition to return to normal after that.

「… Did you use magic?」

「No. Regis-sama has a habit of shaking his head.

Because of that, your body is prone to motion sickness, so it is not uncommon for you to feel nauseous in these kinds of situations」

Wha-What are you saying?

Did I have such a habit?

I didn’t realize.

But in fact, my nausea stopped when I kept my head rigid like this.

It’s also possible that it’s just because I stopped thinking about the nausea when I felt this comfort.

「I realized that in the middle of our training」

「You-You have an incredible observation skills…」

Anyway, what matters is that I no longer feel nauseous.

I looked to the side and appreciate the scenery outside the window.

I couldn’t do it when we came to the Capital.

However, now I can see the spectacular view.

I could see huge rocks scattered around the wasteland.

Some discreet plants, which grew in one place or another, had a dazzling shine caused by the reflection of the sun’s rays.

They are so beautiful that I just need to take a look at them to renew my heart.

Adding that to the soft sensation of Wokins body caressing my head, made me feel like in paradise.

What is this? I never thought that a carriage trip would be so pleasant.

When I nodded convinced of that, I could hear a disturbing sound coming from the person next to me.

「… Uugh, it’s useless.

I can’t take it anymore――」

Shadiberga, who was about to burst into tears, shot me a pleading look.

He had managed to cope well enough when we came.

Did you get too tired in the Capital that you can’t bear the nausea now?

He seemed to be asking Wokins to help him with his nausea.

Ah? Shadiberga also wants her to hold his head?

In that case, why don’t you ask the servant sitting in the back for help?

He is a strong man with a large chest, so I am sure he will give you some great stability.

The moment I was about to say that to Shadiberga, Wokins replied in a cold voice.

「Oh, I don’t want to. Also, this place is reserved for Regis-sama」

「When did I ask you that!?」

「 Quiet. Please, if you can’t take it anymore, throw up out the window or swallow it all」

「What’s with this difference in our treatment!?… Ugh, I can’t take it anymore」

Shadiberga, unable to bear it any longer, vomited violently out the window.

There appear to be many wasteland areas in the western part of the Kingdom.

Rural nobles are forced to cross numerous difficulties just to go to the Capital.

Anyway, it seems that unlike when we came, Shadiberga was the one who could not bear the trip.

Well, from now on I will use something to hold my neck when I travel by carriage.

If I don’t, I will definitely end up dying again.

I carved that oath deep into my heart as I watched Shadiberga’s dying expression.

End of the First Arc

NT1: … … … Hey, look at that… i did it… i finished the first arc… ¿do you know what does that mean…? That you will finally have something new! How long have some of you waited for the second arc? I wonder (like, three years?)… Anyway… i’ll be saying a couple of important things on the… second chapter (i’ll be sending those who didn’t read my very first Note on this novel in the first chapter to make sure they are aware about how do i do this things, so, yeah, it will be on the second chapter… i guess). It will be a few thing about the novel… that are… kind of bad… but also kind of good. Uh-huh, i guess it will be some kind of good news… i gues… anyway, just wait for it.
