Reincarnated Into Weak Noble
Chapters 6. Maturity ceremony

Seven years have passed, since that terrible event, all my life has quickly changed drastically. Now all the gazes I get are cynical, disgusted looks. There was no warm view like before.

Whether at school, or wherever they always look at me with bad eyes. It reminds me of my previous life. Yeah, exactly, it makes no difference.

To calm myself down I walked to the library, no matter how people looked at me.

During my time at school I always got bad behavior, before they were my good friends, but just because I heard the news that I didn't have any kind of mana, they quickly changed.

No more friendship, people I thought of as friends started pointing at me from behind, mocking me, and starting to bully me. That's why the learning activities became disrupted, so I decided to study alone in the library.

Is this serious? I mean just because I didn't have any kind of mana, they quickly changed and underestimated me, did no one want to be with me from the start? No matter where I am, I am always alone..

I shook my head, trying to bury those negative thoughts. But how hard the effort remains free, negative thoughts will not disappear. With a pitiful face I continued my steps towards the library.

A few moments later, I stopped my steps. Raise your head because you are aware that the library is right in front of your eyes. I smiled, not forcing myself. I walked into the empty library.

No one, even if there are people, but it doesn't change the fact that it's quieter here. I don't have to care anymore about disgust.

The stepping foot picked up one of the books I thought was important. That is about the noble family Rosemary, after taking the book I immediately sat on the chair.

Why would I pick up a book about another noble family? The answer is quite simple, the Rosemary family.

The nobles who were in the next kingdom were mortal enemies to the Midnight family.

Ah, don't get me wrong, I read this book not because of an attack plan, revenge, or anything like that.

There are two reasons why I want to know about the Rosemary family. The first reason is that I want to know why they are enemies of our family, and the second reason to be sure of one thing.

The Rosemary family is an enemy.

Forget about it and let's read the book now.

I spent some time reading and I came to some conclusions.Just like Midnight, the Rosemary family is very identical to someone with blond hair, the color of blonde hair itself is their identity.

The Rosemary family is also synonymous with light magic that can be used as healing and attacking.

To think that Rosemary had some light magic ability made me laugh a little.

From Midnight and light, from name alone anyone knows that we are opposites.it seems like fate has united us as enemies.

Continuing to the following page, this was an interesting fact that left me in shock.

“Timpossible! Is this real?”

I can't believe what's written here, it sounds weird that I doubt my own kingdom.

It is written here that, our kingdom was not the present Victorian kingdom, but an old kingdom that had a very different shape and name.

I gulped to say the name, probably out of shock and surprise.

“Kingdom Sablier?”

“The kingdom was destroyed in just one night, when midnight the kingdom of Sablier was destroyed without remaining, but could still leave some people alive."

"The surviving Midnight family hid themselves and took several years to rise.. No one knows why such a sturdy kingdom could be destroyed in one night, all almost dead in the middle of that night."

"By the confusion Midnight finally found the fact that Jack Rosemary, the first king as the culprit of the event, the surviving citizens killed Jack. The citizens of Rosemary certainly did not accept it and from that time the Rosemary and Midnight families began to fight and become sworn enemies.”

I read the book in disbelief. I'm breathing in. I think I read something I shouldn't know.

It's weird, Jack Rosemary. I've heard his name as a brave and sturdy hero, does such a person really do that?

It's weird, but I actually believe in Jack instead of the Midnights who are my own family, maybe because they're too ostracizing me, or something else.

The mat! The mat! The mat!

The wall clock keeps turning creating a distracting sound. I stared at the clock and was made pale by it.

"It's 16:30, so I can be late with the maturity ceremony." 

I hurried to close the book, put it in a haphazard place and ran. I feel guilty for not returning the book to the place, but how else is the ceremony more important. 

Why is this ceremony necessary? The answer is simple as a sign that family members are recognized and worthy, after the ceremony you can be a cadet king, married and many other things.

Put aside about the advantages after the ceremony. I'm just happy and hope that maybe after the ceremony of maturity my life can change, I hope that maybe after the ceremony I will be accepted once again.

In hopes of speeding up my run rushed towards the place of the maturation ceremony, after running for a while the day had become mala. The sky was a beautiful pink and purple as it faded into orange and yellow.

I opened the door in an apartment used for the maturation ceremony, as I opened the door and observed around, it seemed like I was a little late. I could see some people in party clothes were staring at me who had just entered.

at first it was a normal gaze, but after realizing that what came in was that I had all turned cynical, the cool and serene event became awkward instantly.

I could only forcefully smile with a face full of sweat and step into the crowd, there I could see my family. 

“Yo, everything.”

As I greeted my father, mother, brother Bryan, and sister Anna looked at me cynically as if staring at a disgusting creature, even my sister Elli who used to like me so much pretended not to listen. but since this is a special ceremonial day for me then they are a little trying to be friendly.

“Y-yo, sister. Hope your ceremony is fun.” doesn't look at me. Brother Bryan replied in a very forced tone.

“....”

The situation quickly became an awaakwkra, not only for my family, but everyone became silent. They're watching me.

Isn't this the ceremony of my maturity. This should be a special day, why is it so gloomy?

So why did you invite me here? Fucking shit!

I started to get angry and bite my lips. Dad noticed my anger and looked coldly at me.

“Hah, listen to this! The reason why I called you is.”

I quivered, terrified to know a bad fact, but it didn't seem like it. For a long time I smiled and patted my shoulder.

“Do not issue such an expression dong!” He laughed and said that.

Everyone laughed, but this was pure mockery I could feel the warmth of their smiles and laughter.

“Sorry, Brother Arthur.” 

Elli ran and hugged me tightly, with breath gasping and I thought maybe she was crying, Elli continued.

“Honestly, all you experience is a test for Midnight and for those who can survive it will be worthy to follow this ceremony of maturity.. Tap.. but I was very sad when brother suffered, sorry~ Maf brother Arthur.”

After saying what he wanted, Elli hugged very tightly. I curled my hand and returned the embrace and stroked his shoulder.

Dad smiled, Our “Arthur is very proud of you, but it looks like you are late with the ceremony. So change clothes first and come here!” father's words were followed by the smiles of the people who were looking at me.

“That's right, Arthur!” Brother Anna smiled sweetly in front of my face.so close that I could even feel Anna's breath. 

That smile, I really miss..

So it's all just a test, right? You fools, don't you know how hard I've been living?

“Arthur, you change! Wonderful ceremony is about to start.”

Once again the sweet smile was drawn, the white hair of Anna's brother swayed ssat moving.

I smiled from the bottom of my heart.

“Good, sister Anna. Thank you, everyone.”

After that I went to the dressing room excited about what had just happened.

I didn't expect it to turn out they were just pretending and it turned out they wanted to accept me.

But then again. I was too stupid, I shouldn't have gone to the maturity ceremony, I shouldn't have believed a single word of them.

Because on that day of the maturation ceremony I realized a very good reality and once again my life as Arthur Midnight changed for the worse.

At that time I was too naive, not that I was just too happy. I didn't realize that wherever I was I wouldn't be accepted by anyone.
