46 – Son, are you back to normal?(2)

After returning to the royal school after group activities on a warm island, Eugene arrived right in front of my dormitory room.

As he opened the door and was about to enter, he found a book stuck in the crack and picked it up.

‘What is this?’

The pattern of Baron Grace was stamped on the letterhead.

‘Is this a letter from the family?’

I’ve never sent a letter from my family.

What is it?

Yujin opened the envelope and checked the contents.

「A letter to Eugene von Lennon, a first-year student at the Royal Lucia School.

Mr. Eugene, the family situation is not very good right now.

This is a moment when every little hand is desperately needed, so I would like you to come as soon as possible.

Please understand that the situation is urgent and I am sending you a short letter.

─Philip, the chamberlain of Baron Grace.”

‘The circumstances of the family are very bad?’

The distance between Baron Grace and the Royal School is very far. It usually takes a week for the letter to arrive.

‘Then it means that the letter was sent a week ago.’

How serious is it now?

When I thought of the family’s dire situation, I felt impatient.

Eugene prepared the minimum preparations to set out on the road, and set off straight for Baron Grace.

Four days have passed since then.

An evening when the rising moon illuminates the night sky.

Eugene, who ran without sparing magic on her legs, arrived at Baron Grace.

A distance that would take a week by carriage was covered in four days with human legs.

Excluding the time to take care of the body through sleep and meditation in between, the actual time spent on the move was only about three days, which was a great deal.

‘I need to find out why the situation is so serious.’

Eugene caught his breath for a moment, and then she strode to her mansion in the center of her barony.

This was the hometown where the body’s previous owner was born and raised.

‘It’s very frugal for an aristocratic house.’

The size of the mansion was small, and the manor was quite old.

It looked even shabby than the mansion of Marcel, a commoner.

‘Still, there are soldiers.’

A soldier stood in front of the manor.

As Eugene approached him, a soldier drew a sword.

“Clarify your affiliation and name!”

“…… Yes?”

Is it because the light from the old street lamp is dim?

The soldier did not recognize Eugene, probably because it was dark and her face was not visible.

He wanted to get a little closer and show his face, but he had to hold back because the panicking soldier was able to wield his sword.

Eugene opened the distance and announced his identity.

“This is Eugene von Lennon from Baron Grace.”

“Eugene von Lennon…… ?”

“I am the son of this family.”

“…… Ah!”

Are you Eugene?

I heard that you sent a letter!

A soldier approached with a flashlight in delight. A faint light illuminated Yujin’s face.

“Whoa.”

Eugene’s face was revealed, no different from half a year ago.

‘I think Eugene is right.’

No matter how many times I looked at it, it was definitely Eugene.

Anyone can see that Yujin is definitely with her broad shoulders in her calm and solemn eyes…….

‘Wait.’

A serious look? Broad shoulders?

‘What kind of nonsense is this?’

The Eugene the soldier knew was a man whose mad eyes, droopy shoulders, and unrefined prayers combined to make him feel pitiful and pitiful.

But looking at it now…….

The face is Eugene’s, but this one just seemed like a different person.

“Are you really Eugene?”

“Yes?”

“It looks right when you look at the face, but the atmosphere is strangely different.”

The feeling of prayer is different, and her shoulders are also wide open… ….

“To be honest, I feel like a completely different person.”

“…… I am Eugene.”

“…… Hmm.”

The soldier’s eyebrows narrowed as if he couldn’t easily overcome his suspicion.

‘Did he change his face with magic?’

That suspicion arose because everything had changed except for his face.

‘No, that went too far.’

But that was an excessive suspicion.

In a ruined family where even fleas run away because they are torn apart, isn’t there a human being who would bother to change their face and infiltrate?

The soldier withdrew his sword and led Eugene.

“Come this way.”

As he walked, he brought up a question he hadn’t been able to answer before.

“Eugene.”

“Yes?”

“…… Something seems to have changed.”

“Me?”

“Are you back to normal?”

“… ….”

“I don’t feel the madness in your eyes! Apparently, when I saw it half a year ago, madness slowly rose…… !”

The soldier’s voice grew louder.

“I’m already at the door.”

“Oops!”

Why are you already at the door!

‘Looks like a mountain of questions!’

However, since they had already arrived at the door, the solution to the question had to be postponed until later.

The soldier had no choice but to be self-respecting and open the door.

Once Eugene went inside…….

Kikik.

With the sound of old boards, the appearance of the house that I had only seen in my memory was revealed.

‘Oh… ….’

It is too unadorned and pure to be a house of an aristocrat.

There was a lot of old furniture to be frugal, and strangely empty spaces were full.

Something was taking up those spaces, but he had sold them in the process of paying off his debts.

It wasn’t dirty, as if it had been cleaned at least, but except for the size, it could be believed that it was a commoner’s house.

‘Is it the reality of the fallen baron family?’

Looking at it with my own two eyes, it was definitely serious.

“I will guide you to the head of the household.”

“…… Yes.”

As I walked down the hallway, sighing at the sight of a house that was difficult to tell whether it was a nobleman’s house or a commoner’s house, I arrived at the door leading to the restaurant before I knew it.

“The head of the family will be in the restaurant.”

“Thank you.”

“Nothing.”

With those words, the soldier left.

From noble mtl dot com

Yujin opened the door and went inside.

I saw a long table in the middle of the restaurant, and I could see a lot of food on it.

There were no precious ingredients, but it was like a meal prepared by a fallen nobleman with all his might.

Dallas was sitting at the end of the table, and Philip was standing next to him.

“Wouldn’t this be enough to set the table?”

“Even Viscount Hobart is a glutton, this should be enough.”

“That’s it.”

“By the way, head of household, someone is coming over there… ….”

“Hmm?”

Dallas moved his head to see Eugene walking away.

His brow narrows slowly.

‘That… ….’

Brown hair reminiscent of fallen leaves, dark dark brown eyes.

From childhood to familiar faces…….

‘Eugene?’

He woke up with his eyes wide open.

‘It’s Eugene!’

No matter how foolish my son has become, I was overjoyed to see him.

Dallas smiled happily and walked in front of Eugene.

“You came earlier than expected.”

“It’s been a while. Father.”

How did she come so quickly when it hadn’t been long since she had sent the letter?

‘It’s not that important.’

I saw her son’s face, so it didn’t matter.

Dallas said with a smile on his lips.

“Did you have any difficulties coming?”

“Yes.”

“Have you had any health problems?”

“Yes.”

“Yeah, that’s it.”

Although he became an idiot, he had nothing more to wish for, as he went through school without problems and never suffered from minor illnesses.

‘Just stay healthy.’

Dallas smiled softly and turned around.

‘…… For a moment.’

He turned around and saw Eugene.

What’s different?

I didn’t notice because I didn’t look carefully, but a strange energy was flowing from his body.

It wasn’t the pitiful energy of half a year ago, but the energy of a wonderful and normal man.

‘Besides.’

In the dark, dark brown eyes…….

I couldn’t see the madness.

The madness that filled his eyes half a year ago had disappeared.

Now his eyes were filled with only a calm and serious weight.

‘This is…… What happened?’

Belatedly, I saw Eugene’s broad shoulders and solid body.

A sharp and strong prayer was felt in that splendid body.

“What the hell is this…….”

He grabbed Eugene’s shoulders with both shaking hands.

A trembling voice came from his mouth.

“Eugene, are you back to normal? … ?”

“… ….”

“Did you get out of the situation half a year ago and return to normal…? … ?”

With the good and dependable look of those days?

The trembling of that face is so earnest. It looked like he desperately wanted his son to return to his original form.

‘I wish I had suffered a lot.’

Feeling sorry for Yujin, he hardened his face and slowly opened his mouth.

“I am not back to normal.”

“…… Huh, if…….”

Darkness fell over Dallas’ face.

Yujin quickly smiled.

“Because it’s so much better than the original.”

“… ….”

“You won’t even remember who was there.”

“… ….”

As if repeating Eugene’s words, Dallas changed his expression several times in a short period of time.

Soon after, he smiled brightly and hugged Yujin.

“My son is back! My son!”

A tearful laugh escaped his lips.

How badly did he suffer when his son, whom he was proud of, was destroyed?

But the son returned to his original form.

This was like a ray of hope comforting the hellish reality.

That feeling was no different from Philip, who was next to him.

‘Is this really Eugene?’

He was one of the people who saw Eugene half a year ago.

Comparing the appearance of the sacrifice with the appearance of the present…….

It was not easy to accept the reality.

This is just a face, isn’t it a different person?

I kept trying to open my mouth to see how the person itself had changed.

Eugene, who was competent in all fields as a child, regained her original appearance.

‘My family’s situation is the worst, but… ….’

This was a great thing.

At least one more person to add strength to the family, so there was no doubt that it would be of great help.

Philip said his regards to her with a bright smile.

“Eugene. Have you been well?”

Eugene, freed from Dallas’ embrace, nodded her head.

“Well, I was healthy. What about Philip?”

“I was fine too. The reality of the family wasn’t easy, but still…….”

Jumping!

At that moment, I heard the sound of the restaurant door opening.

Jerebuck! That buck!

I hear brisk steps.

Naturally, the heads of the three turned.

A pretty girl with long, glossy brown hair was walking by.

In a remote area like this, her face was not lacking to be called the best beauty in the region.

Erica Von Rubia, commonly known as Erica, walked lightly and stood in front of everyone.

“Erika, are you here already?”

“Yes! You told me to come early because ‘he’ is coming today.”

“I did say that, but… ….”

“Good job, right?”

“Good job. Good job…… “

Dallas’s face hardened as he saw the white powder painted on Erica’s face.

“I told you not to wear makeup, but you came out anyway.”

“I know what your father thinks, but it’s because I don’t have a beauty that can be covered up by not wearing makeup.”

She smiled. It was a beautiful smile that brightened everyone around.

However, Dallas’ face hardened even more.

‘Looks like there’s something.’

Yujin’s daylight subsided.

Judging by the way Dallas’ face hardened the moment Erica mentioned ‘him’, it seemed to have something to do with the crisis in her family.

“Hmm?”

At that time, Erica found Eugene and asked.

“By the way, who is this person next to you?”

“He is He.”

“Something familiar?”

Her two big eyes watch Eugene.

“… ….”

She went through the same process in her head as her father and her face hardened and her eyes twitched wildly.

“…… Uh?”

A small voice leaked from her pink lips.

“…… Brother?”
