Ding. With the cute sound of a bell, as Lennock’s figure disappeared, Aubrey immediately grabbed the heating pack and placed it down. Staring quietly at the heating pack on his thigh, Aubrey slowly lifted his head. He then checked the picture hanging on the wall again and furrowed his brows in a deep crease. “……” The calendar of the continent was divided into two periods: before and after the year 400. This division marked the point when a man, who attempted to explore the realm of the…-

Honestly, his father wouldn’t care about Dalton. What bothered him was that his father’s business had failed, which in the end, helped preserve his father’s honor and wealth—but he didn’t realize that. With a smirk, Aubrey folded the newspaper in half and handed it to Amon. “Why stop reading? People from the Wiidin family aren’t the ones to miss a new business opportunity. Why don’t you invest in it?” “I don’t get involved in doomed businesses.” “Oh? I think it might…-

This outing was thanks to Amon. That was true, so Aubrey felt he should cover the bill after they finished. Wanting to send Amon off before it got too tiring, Aubrey busied himself with the meal. He rapidly consumed the salad and soup, then sampled the meat and fish dishes. The meat was decent, but the sauce on the fish was not to his liking. Aubrey scooped it with his spoon and dumped it onto Lennock’s plate, then focused on attacking the pasta with the meat. Whether he was conscious of it or not,…-

But rumors spread faster than words, and Lennock’s presence could reach the marquis’s wife’s ears at any time. Perhaps that’s why they had turned a blind eye to Gray’s tyranny. If the conflict between the children worsened, they might use it as an excuse to drive Lennock out. But the butler realized from the marquis’s gaze that he had been mistaken. Lennock was not someone who should be driven out. And the marquis confirmed this conviction with his words. “I will say this only once, so…-

Amon posed the question while glancing at Lennock sitting across from him. With Aubrey gone, the two were left alone, making the atmosphere uncomfortably awkward. Amon was known for his sociability at the Toroso Academy, but that required some reciprocity. One can’t just talk to a wall. Yet, Amon wasn’t ordinary. Otherwise, he wouldn’t keep staring so intently at Lennock, who showed little interest in him. Normally, someone would feel uncomfortable and ask, “Why are you staring at me like…-

Still young, Lennock might have been upset by Gray’s words. But what Gray said wasn’t wrong, and Lennock was in a more ambiguous position compared to Aubrey. Aubrey, his nape throbbing, bit his lower lip. Why did I have to get a crick now… “Just like you said, I’ll only be staying here temporarily and then I’ll leave.” Aubrey was trying his best not to move his head while figuring out how to shake off Gray’s damned grip. Startled by the unexpected reply, he looked at…-

From Aubrey’s perspective, heading straight down wouldn’t have been a problem, but it seemed the butler thought otherwise. “We have a guest, and just pants and a shirt won’t do,” he said as he led Aubrey to his room to change. Once properly dressed and his hair neatly styled, Aubrey headed towards the marquis’s study. I thought there was a specific room for meeting guests, but the study? Maybe Father called Amon to the study to snoop on my academy life. Everyone finds the marquis tough to…-

PT | Chapter 4.4
In his previous life, Aubrey had learned quite a bit about the great sin, a being who had committed tremendous deeds, but since it was such an enormous entity, records about it weren’t openly available, so he still felt lacking. The real reason Aubrey had enrolled in the academy was in hopes that perhaps the academy’s library might contain hard-to-find materials from outside. But even that was ruined when Lennock followed him and enrolled. Lennock, who could catch people’s attention just by…-

Danvers wasn’t one for sugar-coated words, but his presence was irritating enough for Aubrey, who didn’t want to be seen in such a state, so he buried his face back into the sheets. Then Danvers casually remarked. “It was Gray, not you, who had been sneaking around to meet with others. Do you really think father doesn’t know that?” “…….” Knowing he would just rant alone and eventually leave if Aubrey continued pretending not to know, it was still very annoying to be baited…-

As Gray stepped into the attic with Johan trailing behind, Aubrey’s situation instantly intensified. Gray, arms crossed and chin lifted in his usual arrogant manner, looked particularly intolerable. The problem escalated with Johan standing beside him; their resemblance, not just in demeanor but also in appearance, was striking and unsettling. Even for the butler, the sight of them together was daunting. “My lord, young master, what brings you here?” Gray cut in sharply before the butler…-
