PT | Chapter 8.6
There was no way he could have forgotten. But despite pressing his face so close, there was still a strangely sweet scent. It could have been perfume, but it seemed different, and the man tried to get even closer to Aubrey. Aubrey gathered all his strength and slammed his forehead into the man’s face. “Ugh!!” With a scream, the man stumbled backward, and Aubrey yanked his arm away. He transferred his weight onto the other man, causing him to lose his balance and fall backward, pulling Aubrey…-

PT | Chapter 8.5
With a frantic shout, there was a command to chase after him. Aubrey, hearing the thudding of footsteps behind him, dashed down the stairs. Even though he was clearly drunk and couldn’t keep himself steady, Aubrey was unnaturally fast. In what felt like no time at all, he went from the third floor to the first floor and flung open a door he happened to spot. By luck, it was the back door. Aubrey rushed out and sprinted through a maze of narrow alleys. As he ran, the sounds of people shouting at him…-

PT | Chapter 8.4
Jill tilted his head in confusion, muttering to himself. Then, as he placed one hand on the floor and slowly raised his head, he looked at Aubrey and actually questioned him back. “Could it be that the Empress is already spreading rumors in an attempt to get her son back?” “……” Aubrey’s mind froze in an instant. Even if Lennock awakened as the great sin, he would still need to be born from a certain existence. But the fact that it was Empress Layla who gave birth to him was…-

PT | Chapter 8.3
Once the remaining maids also left, the lower floor fell quiet, and Aubrey’s mind became a tangled mess. Compared to Gray, who always had a lust for Aubrey or the ambition to devour the Marquis’ estate, or Danvers, whose hunger for power burned bright, Jill was a background character with no real presence. He was nothing more than an annoying nuisance, so Aubrey had never paid much attention to him. But to hear that Jill had been talking about something like this? Aubrey stood up. The maids’…-

PT | Chapter 8.2
Aubrey, too tired to answer, simply waved his hand dismissively. The coachman gave him a slight smile and quietly closed the door, and shortly after, the carriage started moving. It swayed a little as it started, but once it was rolling, it became steady. Aubrey thought that if it continued like this, everything would be fine, but with a slight sense of uncertainty, he reached for the window. He tried to open it by pushing aside the cloth covering the window, but it wouldn’t…-

PT | Chapter 8.1
Inside the large mansion, there were separate waiting rooms for men and women, and a hall where they all gathered together. Of course, there were also separate spaces for drinking and relaxing, and private rooms where those with close relationships could gather. Aubrey claimed a seat in one of these spaces and continued to drink. His ability to down strong alcohol without hesitation earned cheers from those around him. “I didn’t know you could drink so well. Here, make sure you have some snacks…-

PT | Chapter 7.7
Madeleine had shown interest in Lennock openly at the Academy, and Lennock had coldly rejected her. Could things be repaired from this mess? Aubrey didn’t have many options. His father had drained his bank accounts, and he was pretty sure there were people here spying on him. Even if he couldn’t have a proper conversation with Madeleine, he needed to at least show that he was trying. As Aubrey approached, the young women around Madeleine fell silent. Aubrey could feel the uncomfortable silence as…-

PT | Chapter 7.6
Aubrey silently surveyed the people around him. Most of them were people who wanted to get close to the Wiidin family, or those who pretended to be friendly while gossiping behind his back. He thought he was used to people’s reactions after going through multiple regressions, but maybe he wasn’t. Still, he couldn’t show discomfort. In this life, at least, Aubrey had learned to handle people well, having socialized and played enough in his previous lives. “Well, I guess some light…-

PT | Chapter 7.5
There was no need to struggle to get information from Alman. Aubrey could simply throw out the business ideas he had naturally learned during his endless regressions, and the marquis would never bother to check whether they really came from Alman. Through the repeated regressions, Aubrey had learned exactly what his father’s ideal son was. In his previous life, he had thrown a tantrum about becoming a priest, but this time, things were different. Aubrey smiled broadly as he looked at the marquis…-

PT | Chapter 7.4
Realizing this was all a waste, Aubrey decided to leave. He thought that once the priests saw the office in disarray the next day, they would be horrified, and he would feel satisfied with that. He placed one hand on the desk as he prepared to leave, having forgotten in his search how bad his condition had become. While leaning on the desk, struggling to move, Aubrey accidentally brushed against a small ornament sitting in the corner. The object moved slightly, and immediately a strange sound…-
