After that talk with Susan, I started walking to Adelyn's office.

This mansion really deserves to be called the duke's mansion.

It is big, and the decorations in this place are all expensive and beautiful.

In a sense, we can say that the family of Augustride has a unique sense of beauty, and they are known as the art appreciators of society as well.

Callius' father, Austin, and Austin's father of them were interested in at least one art type.

Austin was interested in painting, and his father was interested in calligraphy.

I, too, am interested in art.

Callius used to play piano and violin, and he was pretty talented at that, and Aaron himself was talented at singing, and he was good at managing his voice.

So, I can say I am pretty talented in the musical field, and this body's voice is excellent and clean.

With some practice, I am pretty sure I can make a living just by being some sort of musician on the streets.

Anyway, none of them are important right now.

The thing is, I should somehow not make Adelyn suspicious about the changes in my personality and my soul.

Although Callius himself didn't have a good relationship with Adelyn, and he didn't like her, at the very least, he always had this prideful expression on his face when she interacted with Emma and Adelyn.

And, I will try to at like that to fool those two and make sure not to make them suspicious or something.

This event is probably the first event that made Callius look like the villain in the game.

There is a high possibility of them planning to kick me from this house since right now I have no power over this house, and they hate me and blame me for my father's death probably.

But, it still has some time since right now, they are just trying to get rid of the sadness that comes with the loss of someone dear to you.

If I remember correctly, I should still have 2 or 3 months until they decide to banish me from this household, so I need to use that time very efficiently and make sure to increase my strength in the facilities of this mansion.

Just like I have mentioned before, Callius refused to train with swords, and he never held a sword himself, and since his body itself was pretty weak, he never had the need to do so.

And in the game, he was banished from the household after his father died, and from the looks of it, I won't be able to prevent it.

In the first place, it is not like I need to do so.

This country, this nobility, dukedom, Augustride House, everything can go to hell, I don't care.

The important thing for me is to survive and live my life however I want.

The status I will get myself.

The money, I will get myself.

The power, I will get myself.

The women, I will get myself.

I don't need anything I get from other people or with other people's help.

I don't need the money I get from this dukedom.

I don't need the status or power I get from just being the heir of the duke.

I don't need that woman Austin arranged for me to be with me.

I don't need any of those.

My pride won't allow it to bow down to those hypocritical dogs just to get a comfortable place to live or something.

Anyway, this was it.

Until they decide to banish me, or the plot of banishment comes, I will train in this mansion, and the moment I am banished, I will no longer have any relation with those people.

With those thoughts on my mind, Susan and I reached Adelyn's office.

Since Adelyn was the wife of Austin and she was also a higher-standing person in the nobility, she had a good office almost on par with Austin's office.

You can see all those engravings and those statues and other artistic things near the door.

/KNOCK/ /KNOCK/

"Madam, lord Callius is here."

After knocking on the door, Susan informed Adelyn about my arrival.

"Come in."

With an approving sound, Susan opened the door for me and bowed her head.

Good, it seems this girl is not that stupid, at least, and she can understand how to behave.

/TOCK/

After that, Susan closed the door and started waiting outside.

And I started looking at the woman in front of me.please visit panda-:)ɴᴏᴠᴇ1.co)m

Adelyn Augustride Valiana.

She is the wife of duke Austin and the daughter of the current king of the country Karl Valiana.

The woman in front of me really deserves to be called one of the most beautiful women in this country and this world.

Her fiery red hair, combined with her yellow eyes, make her look like a snake but a beautiful one.

And her slender figure and her white skin really complement her eyes and hair as well.

"Why did you call me here, mother?"

I said while looking into her deep yellow eyes.

I can see her eyes are a bit swollen, although she is trying to hide them and look strong in front of me. I know that she is quite affected by the death of her husband.

And, in a normal case, I would also be affected by that as well, but this is no longer a normal case, isn't it?

Seeing me calling her mother, she suddenly got angry and furrowed her brows.

"I am not your mother, so don't ever call me like that again."

She said with a threatening tone.

It seems I successfully made her angry, but let's not play with fire too much.

"I see. Then, Duchess Adelyn, why did you call me here?"

I said, this time emphasizing the words Duchess Adelyn.

"Sigh, I called you here to inform you that two days later, we will hold Austin's funeral. The ceremony and ritual will start in the morning, and we will move with the carriage to the church of Celestia. You shall be ready before we start moving. Is it clear?"

ραпdα Йᴏνêl(сòm) She said while making a sad expression.

Hmm, it feels like there is something more to this.

Normally speaking, she wouldn't call me just to say those things. She could easily instruct Susan to inform me, or she could use another maid.

That means she wants to say some other things to me as well.

"I see. I will be ready in the morning before we move, but this is not all, isn't it?"

I said.

"You are right. I haven't finished my words yet. Despite being weak and talentless, it seems you are at least not stupid. It seems you have your brain from Austin, not from your whore mother. However, you are the reason why my husband is dead right now, you bastard child. Therefore, I swear on my name that I will make your life hell. I will make sure you feel the despair of everything being taken away from you; I will make sure of it. Do you understand? If it weren't for you, my husband wouldn't be dead, so be ready to face the consequences."

She said while glaring at me hatefully.

It seems like she really hates it from deep inside her heart.

But this kind of logic is one of the most stupid things I have ever heard in my life.

I am the sole reason why your husband is that?

No, I am not the reason.

The reason is that those attackers and the people who conspired against your husband, not me.

And you are saying you will make my life hell, then bring it on.

It is not like I am afraid of you, or your stupid father, or your stupid friends or family.

You will see, when I get the power to deal with you, the first thing I will do is to make sure all of your family, your daughter, your brothers, your sisters, I will make every one of you lick my feet and I will drag you with the leash on the streets, just to make sure you all know your place.

This whole time, you have tormented Callius and looked down on him. And you are still doing it.

Do you think I will let it slide and forget everything once I get the power?

However, right now, those threats in my head are just baseless impulsive thoughts, and I mustn't act on them. I need to act with my logic, not my emotions.

"I see. You can think and feel whatever you want about me. But I suggest you think about the people who dared to do such a thing and become successful as the reason why the father is dead. I am not the reason, they are, and you know that as well. So, don't use me as your outlet and just cry in your office like you were doing. I will avenge father myself, just don't get in my way."

After saying that, I got out of the office, leaving the dumbfounded Adelyn in the office looking blankly at my back.

I said I was going to avenge my father in a moment of heat.

It seems like Callius' emotions are affecting my thought process, and it makes me feel hatred for the people who conspired against my father, as well as the feeling of vengeance.

I see, so I am not completely unrelated to the feelings of Aaron and Callius, and I have some properties about them.

It was like that when Adelyn said my mom was a whore as well.

At that moment, I really got angry, and it seemed this was because of Callius' feelings.

Although he has never seen his mother, he still holds a deep affection for her, and he always loses his composure when it comes to his mother.

And this trait seems to be passed on to me as well. But it is what it is. If this is what makes me who I am, then I shall accept it.

After the talk was finished, I started walking to the kitchen to eat and ordered the chiefs to make me something since I was really hungry right now.

But at that moment, I saw the first heroine of the game waiting in the hall…
