7 – Reincarnation (2)

One Assassin, Rebels, and the Kaiten Empire.

From noble mtl dot com

‘This is absurd.’

Obviously, in my memory, the kingdom of Delin, where I grew up, was a hellish country ruled by raging demons.

[No matter how good an assassin is, it is difficult for the royal family to be annihilated in just one night. Judging from various sources including this, it seems that Delin’s army was worse than the barbarians in the East.]

I remember they weren’t this far…….

Well, if I didn’t know that I had a map of the secret passage, how can I judge this?

[The kingdom of Delin, which was shaken by that, is at a loss against the rebel army formed by mere citizens. After walking the path of decline gradually, the great Kaiton Empire, which was walking the path of defeat in the opposite direction…….]

In the end, it seems that the rebels who followed Mr. Philburton came along just in time as I had planned and threw the kingdom into chaos.

I’m just going crazy wondering what the road to downfall was between the uprising of the rebels and the Kaiton Empire here…….

‘This was the least detailed book, but I can’t find out more here.’

Duelin Kingdom was destroyed 500 years ago.

D’Elyn, my enemy and my land, was now a country of the past that only history-mad nerds could barely know.

For students, a country where they memorize by cramming during history class and then completely forget it as soon as the exam period is over, that’s about it.

“…… Ha.”

In its own way, it was an old enemy that I risked my life to fight against.

It was strange that it was described in history as a sh*t country that was a mess both militarily and diplomatically.

How can I say it, it’s like the feeling of realizing that his father, who looked like a coward when he was young, was just an ordinary guy when he grew up.

Of course, in my previous life I lost both my father and mother before I could even walk, so I’ve never felt anything like that.

Smart!

At that time, someone knocked on the door from outside and soon heard a soft yet friendly voice.

“Brother, the meal is ready.”

“I’ll be leaving soon.”

I frowned as I put the fallen book back on the bookshelf.

‘Anyway, if I had known this was going to happen, I would have died without revealing my name.’

Actually, when I was planning the assassination, I tried to face the end while my identity was not discovered until the end.

I didn’t consider the history books that would be written later, and one of my iron rules as an assassin was to hide myself.

After I die, I don’t know what kind of reaction the remaining people will have in the end.

‘But… Reincarnate?’

Thinking about it again, it was absurd.

To be reincarnated as the son of the Countess of the Kaiton Empire who ate Delin 500 years after my death.

It’s not 5 years or 50 years, but a gap of 500 years.

My childhood flew by as I adjusted to the changes.

‘At least my childhood was fine, but when I was an infant… ….’

When I woke up in the form of a newborn baby, I was astonished at the fact that I had come back to life, but I was also excited that I was born with the rather attractive status of being the son of an imperial nobleman.

But now, when I think back to that time, it’s just horrible.

I couldn’t do anything and I had no choice but to lie on the bed and stare at the ceiling.

A proud resistance fighter and covert assassin, the humiliating life of entrusting the housekeeper with urine and urine…….

Just thinking about it makes my body shake and my head throbs.

‘I still often have nightmares with memories of that time.’

I pressed my forehead to open the door and came out of the study.

“Let’s go, Charlotte.”

“Yes, boy. Could it be that I didn’t interrupt your reading?”

A maid girl was waiting for me at the door of the study with her hands folded in a polite manner.

Her name is Charlotte. She is an employee of the main family, and has no surname.

He’s the same age as me, but he’s strangely fast-growing, so it’s hard to keep an eye on him, so sometimes it’s uncomfortable, but he was a comfortable friend to be with.

“I was just about to finish reading and come out. You?”

“Yes?”

“The book I wanted to read the other day. I secretly took it out of my father’s study and lent it to him. Did you read everything?”

“Oh, of course! He said it was safe to return it within three days, so I read it three times already.”

“Three times in three days…… ?”

“Whoops, romance novels read well.”

“Wasn’t that a mystery novel?”

“If you look at it to the end, it is a romance. It was a supreme love story. If you read it, Bocchan, you will understand.”

I tilted her head and followed Charlotte down the antique stairs.

Unlike ordinary employees, Charlotte is a girl who loves books very much.

Of course, I mostly read history books to figure out what happened in the last 500 years, but Charlotte doesn’t really pick a genre.

“By the way, did you look up the history books again?”

“Yes. There are no unread books in the library anymore.”

“I think it is very strange. He had the opposite image of the first boy, so I thought he wouldn’t read books well, but he seemed to really like history.”

“Are you saying that, unlike my older brother, I look ignorant?”

“Oh no! It’s not like that… Ugh… Master Deneb, like a young lady, excels in combat….”

“Well, no matter what, I must be Rehinar.”

It is said that my family, that is to say Count Rehinar, was a family that served as an advisor to the imperial family for generations.

Should I say that it was a loyal staff role?

It seems that Rehinar’s contributions were very great, especially when the Kaiton Empire was a kingdom and grew while devouring neighboring countries.

Although now the country is stable and he is away from noisy central politics, he has been serving as the head of the magic library for generations, but anyway.

“So please don’t compare me to my older sister who only knows how to fight. It’s strange that such a daughter came from her father, the head of the magic library.”

“Ah, ahahahahaha… ….”

“I’m glad I have a brother. Imagine if my sister had to succeed to the position of head of the magic library. Will the library become a dueling ground?”

“Hey, hey, I’m a young boy… ….”

“It’s okay, it’s true that I said it on purpose for you to listen.”

For some reason, Charlotte’s strange gaze, as if she was looking behind my back instead of me.

She seemed eager to inform me non-verbally that someone was behind me.

But she didn’t have to. From the first moment she came out of her father’s study, she could sense that there was a person under the stairs.

Of course I knew who it was.

“Should I gossip about my sister who stopped by my house after a long time because it was vacation?!”

“Then, is the older sister trying to ambush her younger brother whom she hasn’t seen in a while?”

Wheek-!

Turning her head, she saw the brown-haired woman right in front of her, aiming at me and extending her fist in a straight line.

But the attack was so obvious that she sneered.

I grabbed the arm of the brown-haired woman, her sister, and threw a fist at her, then hit her elbow and gave her a blow.

To me, who had memories of my previous life, such an obvious attack at the level of a student was nothing.

“Oh, ouch! It hurts! Sick! My sister is dying!”

“Am I still at this level after training every day?”

“I’m going crazy. I didn’t make a sound to attack right away when I came down, how the hell did you find out?”

“Was it hidden? Did you see everything?”

It was true that Louisa had prepared an ambush.

He hid himself well in his blind spot, and didn’t make a sound.

It was just bad luck for her that my senses were too good for her.

‘Still, he was a former assassin in his own way.’

I am still sometimes surprised that not only memories but also the senses that I worked hard to cultivate in my previous life continue into this life.

In other words, even if Luisa was out of my sight and hearing, she couldn’t get out of the realm of other senses such as smell.

Not only that, but the sixth sense she develops while working on assassination, commonly called the sense of life, has reached its limit.

Since she really had no intention of harming me, Luisa’s life was as thin and feeble as a thread, but I was able to catch even that.

“Damn it, okay. I lost. It wasn’t once or twice that she was treated unfairly by her younger brother… My sister’s authority has been put to the ground.”

“Yes, yes, good posture.”

Meanwhile, the short-haired woman who threw her fist at me was Luisa Rehinaar. She

She is the second child of the Rehinar family, and she is also my older sister. She

Unlike her older brother, she is exceptional in battle, unlike her Rehinar blood.

She said that mentally, she is over fifty years old, and sometimes it hurts her conscience to beat a girl every time, but she also says that she is the best assassin in the industry in her own way, but losing to a girl hurts her pride.

“Ugh, I’m also at the top of my class in school, so why am I always being pushed behind by you? Am I subconsciously looking at you?”

“That can’t be, don’t be too heartbroken. It’s not that she’s weak, it’s that I’m strong. Even if I fight when I’m not feeling well, it’s as easy as my older sister.”

“What is arrogance… Well, it’s embarrassing, but I admit you have talent. From what I can see, there aren’t many people like you at school.”

I burst out laughing when I heard the word talent.

“Talent, noona didn’t see real talent. I can’t even call myself a talent. There are more great people in the world.”

“Huh, on the subject of not going out of the house often. Who is so talented? Could it be that it’s not Charlotte?”

“Oh no! I can’t fight!”

Charlotte blushed and waved her hand.

Meanwhile, I tried to answer Louisa’s words, but I shut her mouth tightly.

Louis and Charlotte seemed puzzled when I suddenly became moody, but they didn’t even ask right away if my expression was too dark.

“Ah, why are you like this all of a sudden? Did I say something wrong, Charlotte?”

“Yes? Oh no. I’m not sure…….”

“No, that’s all right. There is such a thing.”

In a conversation with my sister Luisa, I thought of Elfin without realizing it.

An elf girl who was born with both the talent of a disturbing necromancer and the talent of a warrior, but was abandoned by her own kind.

It’s been 500 years since then, so I can’t be called a girl anymore, but the elfin in my memory was still green.

‘Elfin, Leewin, Justina… What happened?’

Actually, it was those three children that popped into my head right after I was reincarnated.

Of course I was curious about the ending of the rebel where the uncle was, the words of the Delin Kingdom, and how I was left in history.

But that’s only the second.

I searched through the history books, essentially because I was hoping that I might find traces of the three girls I almost raised.

‘Liwin is… I just want you to stay alive.’

I have the talent of time magic, so I have an optimistic thought that I might be alive, but I don’t know if it’s possible to extend lifespan with time magic in the first place.

In a normal case, since 500 years have passed, it would be correct to judge that Liwin would have already died and disappeared from this world.

Normally, the lifespan of demons and humans is less than 100 years at most.

However, I wanted to hold on to even the slightest thread of hope.

‘Justina too… I don’t know where it is.’

However, dragons whose average lifespan is unfathomable are different.

For Justina, 500 years must not be such a long time considering her entire life.

However, it is not strange that their whereabouts are unknown since they are a race of dragons who often change identities and enjoy amusement in human form.

I really want to see you again someday if there is a way to let people know that I’m alive, but I haven’t been able to find a way yet.

My body was still young to travel far alone, and I was not very strong, suffering from frequent illnesses.

‘Apart from the other kids, what really happened to Elfin?’

Of the three girls, Elfin was the most puzzled.

Judging by Elfin’s personality, her unique race and her talents, if she hadn’t lived hidden in the mountains, her name would have remained in history.

However, the name Elfin was nowhere to be found.

Since the average lifespan of an elf is over a thousand years, it is unlikely that she died a natural death.

If possible, I wanted to meet all three of them and make sure they were alive and well without any problems.

Because it bothered me that I couldn’t say goodbye at the end.

I wanted to see her face to face once again and say that I was so sorry for leaving without telling her anything.

“Kuhm.”

At the sound of clearing my throat, I stopped thinking and looked up.

“My youngest looks upset.”

“…… It’s not like that, and what our youngest. With a difference of one year.”

“Because a one year age difference is too big?! Well, that’s why, actually, this sister has prepared a present for you.”

“A gift?”

A gift from Luisa, who has nothing feminine?

He must have brought a ferocious wild animal as a pet, or some other vicious weapon.

But there was nothing in Luisa’s hand.

Perhaps it was embarrassing, Louisa let out a loud cough.

“That, don’t expect too much. I’m just telling my father.”

“What, what does my father say to me?”

“Deneb, how old are you now?”

“…… Sixteen, why?”

I tilted my head and answered.

But at this point, Louisa suddenly smiled terrifyingly like a chess master with a checkmate.

“Next month?”

“… ….”

“Answer me, Deneb. How old will you be next month?”

“Heat… seven….”

“Hmm, it is said that the noble children of the Kaiten Empire go to a place called the academy at the age of 17 on average, right?”

“Wait a minute, no way… ….”

Louisa grabbed me by the shoulders and said.

From noble mtl dot com

“Congratulations on becoming my junior!”

“…… What?”

“What is it, Deneb, you are going to be a freshman at our academy!”

In my previous life, I was a fool who didn’t even set foot on the threshold of school.

And in this life, because of my lack of stamina, I couldn’t even go out of the house often, so I only had access to private tutors until I was sixteen.

“…… Academy?”

So, even after living for about 50 years…… It was said that he had never been to a place called school.
