The next morning
"You look so happy, Rein?"
Hearing the question, Reinhart turned to look at Aiden who had just arrived.
"It's nothing" Reinhart said coldly, but couldn't help but lift the corner of her lips.
As the young man who "Feeled" himself saving the world and hundreds of thousands of lives, despite not saying so, Reinhart seemed quite satisfied with herself. Not to mention, this he did on his own without the help of others.
"By the way, why don't I see Leander?" ask Reinhart.
"Oh. He came home yesterday. It seems to prefer to sleep at home (palace). Tskkk! Spoiled brat."
Aiden snorted coldly. Recalling the previous debate, he felt extremely dissatisfied.
"Please calm down, Aiden. Don't think too much."
Reinhart took the croquet with chopsticks and added it to Aiden's plate. He even petrified his friend to pick up some other dishes.
Looking towards Reinhart who was calm, meek, friendly, and kind made Aiden suspicious.
"You're not sick, are you, Rein?"
Aiden's words made Reinhart nearly break her chopsticks. He immediately calmed down then said in a relaxed tone.
"You're overreacting, Aiden. I'm just a little enlightened. This is your favor, okay?"
"Rein, you ..."
Aiden felt a bit overwhelmed. Wiping away the tears at the corner of his eyes, the young man continued.
"I really don't mind if you're engaged to my sister. Really, you can even call me big brother from now on."
Clack!
The chopsticks in Reinhart's hand were instantly broken. At that moment, he took a deep breath. His expression gradually became calmer. Smiling again, the young man said.
"Artificial chopsticks are now easily broken. By the way, it's not necessary, Aiden. I heard your sister is too young, anyway .. There's Vanessa."
"Hmmm ... You seem to like that girl a lot."
Aiden said casually as he started eating his breakfast.
'I mean, I'm tired of accepting the troubled people sent to me, B-ngsat.'
Having a friendly and harmless smile, Reinhart cursed inwardly.
"Maybe it's destiny" Reinhart said casually.
"Yes. It's okay if you say that. But ..."
"However???"
Reinhart who picked up the new chopsticks glanced at Aiden.
"Don't regret it because my sister is prettier and more cute than Leander's sister. Yeah, even a little more spoiled."
Clack!
The chopsticks in Reinhart's hand broke again.
'Don't treat me like a pedo looking for lolita here and there, B-ngsat!'
Again Reinhart took a deep breath. Thinking of what he had done, the young man calmed down.
'Don't be angry, Reinhart! It is not the behavior of the person who has saved the world.'
Thinking of that, Reinhart became calmer. Glancing at the broken chopsticks and Aiden who was staring at him without a word, the young man said.
"really. Poor quality chopsticks. It seems I should use the spoons and forks as usual."
Reinhart again showed a gentle and friendly smile on her face.
"Are you okay, Rein?"
"Of course."
Reinhart nodded casually.
"Good then."
After a short conversation, the two of them ate breakfast together. After eating, the Xylon that had just descended suddenly approached Reinhart.
"Professor Elin is looking for you. I just wanted to get off, he stopped me and asked me to call you."
"Understand."
Still having a smile on his face, the young man relaxed back. Taking a deep breath, he refrained from shouting.
'After the little devil, the big demon tried to make trouble with me?'
The thought of it put Reinhart's mood down. But thinking that the savior of the world should not be easily offended, the young man became calmer.
After a while, Reinhart went to Professor Elin's room.
Arriving at Professor Elin's room, he saw that the woman had been sitting there waiting.
"Are you looking for me, Master?"
Seeing how his teacher was making small talk, the corner of Reinhart's lips twitched. Sighing in a deep breath, the young man immediately said.
"Please tell me what needs are there, Master."
"Oh?"
Seeing Reinhart's expression, Professor Elin raised her eyebrows. Unknowingly, the corner of his lips lifted.
"You know, the game starts tomorrow."
"Yes?" Reinhart tilted her head. "Is there a problem?"
"There was. Even a very important matter."
For some reason, hearing that made Reinhart feel uncomfortable. Thinking of various possibilities, the young man started to get restless.
"Please tell me, what's the matter, Master?"
Reinhart asked.
"Actually, by force, you have been assigned to enter the tournament."
"Huh???"
Reinhart.
"Isn't it all written on the participants list? Why is there such a sudden change?"
"Actually, last night Leander was poisoned. He was exposed to a very powerful poison. Although it did not endanger his life, the poison did indeed make him unable to participate."
"Then ... wouldn't he be eliminated? Why did I suddenly enter?"
"That's ... You actually have a point."
Professor Elin nodded. After thinking for a moment, he decided to be honest.
"Only, since the host is the Emerald Sea Kingdom, it seems that they are willing to open the back door so that you can replace Leander."
"..."
Reinhart's mouth was wide open when he heard this.
'I don't need that empty chair!'
Reinhart roared inwardly in despair. The young man felt that everything was getting more strange and suspicious.
'Leander attacked? Could it be the Wings of Chaos?'
The thought entered Reinhart's head.
Professor gives a flyer about the tournament schedule. Receiving that, Reinhart's brain felt blank for a moment. After a while of reading, his mind began to wander.
Reinhart clearly remembered. As he was walking along with Vanessa, there were some people hiding while watching them. All of them were wearing black robes, so the young man did not recognize them.
Initially, Reinhart thought they were the ones assigned to protect herself and Vanessa when met with trouble. But now ...
Lightning in hand appeared in Reinhart's hand and instantly tore apart the leaflet and smashed it into dust. Recalling the group of robed people, the kind expression on the young man's face turned cold. It was even colder than usual!
'Wings of Chaos ... How dare you guys destroy the quiet life I crave!!!'
Reinhart immediately labeled the Wings of Chaos as his eternal enemy.
***
Meanwhile, within the palace of the Emerald Sea Kingdom.
"I hope you'll get well soon, Brother."
Vanessa said in a worried tone to Leander before finally leaving the young man's room and returning to his room.
Arriving at her room, the girl closed the door of her room and leaned against the wall.
"It's not wrong, is it?" vanessa Mumbles.
The girl walked towards the front seat of the dressing table. Sitting there, he opened the drawer and saw an empty crystal bottle.
"After all, Brother Leander should have been more humble. Besides, I was just helping my husband.
My husband is too kind and humble. He could not bear to hurt his own friend, let alone show off. But ... The world should know that my husband is indeed the best!
As a wife, I have to help her, right? That's not wrong, is it?
I didn't kill my own brother. Mother says, behind a great man, there is a strong wife. So ... What I did was clearly not wrong."
Vanessa continued muttering in a flat tone as if confused about a thing. In the mirror to the mirror, there appeared the figure of a beautiful girl. The girl held the photo and gently kissed it.
"ah! I love you so much, Husband. I will always .. and always support you."
At that moment, Vanessa looked at the mirror with a smile on her face. However, rather than a sweet and innocent smile ...
He even had a sadistic and obsessive smile on his face.
Complete with a pair of pomegranate-like red eyes as well as a dark aura surrounding it.
