5 – to find happiness

Three dukes called the pillars of the empire.

Lisit, Filer, and Robben.

Among them, the Lisit family, which had the greatest influence, is known as the closest aide to the imperial family.

sword of the empire.

That was the nickname of the Lysitt family.

The children of the Lysitt family were born with great talent for generations.

Some were gifted with swords, some with magic, and some with strategy.

Occasionally, mutants such as Leiden Lysit were born, but…

“under……”

Inside the Lisit family’s mansion, the workshop.

Steinen Lissit, the head of the Lissit family, whose son was a mutant of the family, sighed and put down the fan she was holding.

He grabbed his throbbing head.

The messy paperwork on the desk was so complex that even a glance at it made me go crazy.

Even for the head of the Lisitt family, this kind of paperwork was too difficult for him.

In the first place, the talent he had was also a talent related to magic, but he couldn’t demonstrate his strength in the part of using his brain.

And, it wasn’t just him that made his head hurt.

his son, Leiden Lissit.

Raiden, who suddenly disappeared one day, reappeared after almost six months.

It is said that one of the maids found it standing in front of the house.

“……”

Hearing that Raiden had returned, Stener was honestly happy.

Since he had been missing for six months, most people said he was dead.

But Stener didn’t mind those words.

I believed that one day Raiden would return.

I didn’t know that I would come back with a scarred and messy face, but…

“……”

But when I came back, it wasn’t just one or two troublesome things.

None of the servants wanted to be in charge of Raiden.

In the end, the maid who first discovered him decided to help him.

Even the servants who came in after Raiden disappeared seemed reluctant to Raiden.

It was because of rumors floating around.

‘Prince Raiden assaults the servants.’

‘Collect the s*x slave collection.’

‘I feel joy in harassing commoners.’

Rumors like rubbish with no clear basis.

Those rumors grew bigger and bigger as time went on.

And Raiden did not deny such rumors.

Then people started biting him even more excitedly.

Stener did not believe those rumors.

No, I didn’t want to believe it.

As someone who remembered the warm side of Leiden Lisit, I thought he wouldn’t have crossed the line that much.

Of course, it’s true that he became a maniac, but…

“under……”

Stener let out a deep sigh once again.

He missed Raiden.

He missed Raiden, who was a proud son, not Raiden who overturned the table like an idiot and spat out abusive words at the servants.

-You are my pride, Raiden.

It was something he used to say before Raiden changed.

As a child who was not born with the ‘talent’ of the Lisitt family, you may want to brag about it, but Raiden had something beyond talent.

mischievous smile,

altruistic behavior,

warm heart.

He knew how to love and be loved by those around him.

His witty jokes made people around him laugh.

His selfless actions moved people.

And his warm heart has become a driving force for someone to live.

The power to make people smile.

and the power to attract people.

Even the power to embrace people.

It was an area that could not be accomplished with swords or magic.

That’s why he was genuinely proud of Raiden.

Because his son was born with the true personality he had in mind.

Stener knew that such a proud son would grow up straight.

However…

“under……”

The third sigh echoed in the workshop.

Something bloomed in my heart.

It is pity for Raiden who has changed.

He remembers the terrible pain he felt the day his wife, Philippa Lysit, died.

The sadness of losing a loved one.

It was painful even for the best pyromancer of the empire, who was called the ‘Flame Emperor’ in the past.

Such pain… the little one suffered.

I even saw my mother murdered right in front of my eyes.

After that, Raiden was broken.

His wry smile turned into a mocking one,

His mouth that made everyone happy became one that made someone cry and make someone angry.

Her heart, which had been so warm, was now submerged beneath the surface and cooled down.

For a 16-year-old boy with a tender heart, the death of his mother was such a huge wave.

Stener looked at him and offered words of comfort, but Raiden somehow pushed him away.

As if you were deliberately trying to push it away.

So, he decided to wait.

I remembered his original appearance, so I thought he would come back soon.

a week like that

one month.

3 months.

6 months.

1 year.

Even after a year had passed, Raiden repeated his foolish behavior.

Stener realized.

That Raiden was already broken beyond repair.

Realizing that he couldn’t recover on his own, he tried to contain him somehow.

Because he didn’t want to be hated anymore.

However, despite Stener’s efforts, Raiden showed off his stupidity.

Even Steiner was getting tired.

I became more and more disappointed with his appearance.

Thus, the gap between the two rich people widened.

And, it was about a year and a half after Raiden was ruined.

Raiden is gone.

I wasn’t worried at first.

This time, he must have gone to do some crazy things, I thought.

That’s why I didn’t pay attention.

A week passed, then two weeks, then a month.

But Raiden did not appear.

Only then did Stener realize that something was wrong and start looking for him.

He searched all the restaurants, shops, academies, etc. he used to frequent, and searched for people, but he could not be found.

Another month passed, two months passed, three months passed.

Even after four months of his disappearance, no one could even find anyone who had seen him.

Time passed meaninglessly, and he reappeared at the point where six months had passed since he disappeared.

With a scarred and messy face.

– Jerking away

On the third floor of the mansion, the sound of footsteps echoed in the hallway leading to the workshop.

“Hey, wait a minute, Bocchan…!!

Rachel was chasing after me with a gun gait.

“You should go with me…”

“You said your father called you? You don’t have to follow Ray, do you?”

Rachel said, frowning at those words.

“I told you! I’m now the Bocchan’s exclusive maid!! I’ll follow the Bocchan wherever he goes!”

“I don’t really need an exclusive speed…”

When I said that, Rachel puffed her cheeks.

“I don’t know! Even if it’s not exclusive, I’ll follow you!!”

I looked at the bulging cheek, and then pulled it all the way.

“Bee…”

It felt good to have a soft touch.

I looked at her who was making a fierce noise, and soon smiled.

“uh…?”

Rachel’s eyes widened at the sight of me.

As if you’ve seen something amazing.

Ah, damn Raiden.

It’s my body, so don’t laugh your way.

“Bocchan… You just laughed…”

“Stop talking nonsense and let’s go quickly.”

I turned my head and walked away, and Rachel followed me as well.

Rachel kept her mouth shut with a complicated expression, but then opened her mouth again.

“young master.”

“Well?”

“Are you really a young boy?”

“Isn’t that so?”

Rachel made a more complicated expression.

As if I don’t understand.

“Why?”

“……I don’t think you’re a young boy.”

“Maybe it’s because I lost weight?”

Raiden was originally a chubby body type.

But now it was a dry body.

Well… it would be a little strange to suddenly appear after losing weight in six months.

But at my question, Rachel shook her head.

Then, for some reason, she said with sad eyes.

“You haven’t smiled since that day…”

-Stand up

My footsteps stopped.

‘that day’.

Those words were a trigger for Raiden.

The worst trigger that brings back painful memories.

I felt my body tremble slightly.

Rachel also bowed down and apologized to me, probably belatedly realizing what she had said.

“I’m sorry! Bocchan…!! Suddenly, those words were unconscious…”

“It’s okay, Ray.”

I tried to calm down my trembling voice.

sh*t, it’s not even my trigger, so why is my body shaking…

I groaned and walked back down the hallway.

In front of the workshop we arrived before we knew it.

I took a deep breath and knocked on the door.

-smart

“Father, it is me.”

“Come in.”

I gulped and grabbed the doorknob.

-Dalkak, kiikiiik

With the sound of hinges screaming, Rachel and I entered the room.

As soon as I entered the room, what caught my eye was a desk cluttered with documents that looked complicated even at first glance, and a black-haired, black-eyed man sitting at such a desk.

Stener Recit.

Raiden Lissit’s father, and at the same time Raiden’s most respected person.

With dark circles sticking to it, he radiated a tired look, put down the papers he was looking at and met my eyes.

As soon as our eyes met, I began to feel happy in my heart as well as depressed.

But I forcibly pressed it down.

I don’t know how it was for Raiden, but for me, my father was the very product of resentment and hatred.

Please don’t show me filming a family drama in front of such a person.

Just as I was getting irritated inside, Stener spoke first.

“You’re back.”

plain question.

I gave him the same plain answer.

“Yes, I’m back.”

With a soft smile on his lips.

Oh, don’t move the f*cking real facial muscles.

am i not happy?

Stener stared blankly at the smiling me for a moment, then straightened his expression and opened his mouth again.

“Have you been to strange places again?”

No, he died after falling off a cliff, remained as a memory in his dead body, and then merged with my possessed soul.

I couldn’t answer that, so I quietly nodded.

Stener’s eyes widened slightly, as if surprised by my innocent reaction.

If it was Raiden, the original ‘sh*t’, he would have to mess with it and get beaten up by his father.

But it doesn’t, so I’m surprised.

“Kuhm…”

Stener realized he was absent-minded, cleared his throat, and returned to the conversation.

“So, what have you been doing for six months?”

“I just sent it away.”

No, really.

I’ve been dead for 6 months, what are you doing?

“Is that so…”

Stener stared at me with a complicated expression.

Like Rachel and Steiner, when they see me, they make complex faces.

Seriously, no matter how you think about it, Raiden is a troubled guy.

“So… what about the academy now…?”

“Academy?”

“Your status was a student, right? You forcibly blocked your hiatus with sick bottles and stuff for the past six months, but if you fall further in the future, it will be difficult to avoid expulsion.”

Well, I guess so.

Who keeps a student who has been absent for six months?

No, in the first place, it is strange that they are still attached.

“So choose. Whether you go to the academy or not. If you go, it will be difficult to live like an idiot anymore. If you miss even one more day, you will be expelled…”

“I’ll go.”

“Yes… that’s right. Then quit the academy and do what the family does… Wait a minute, what?”

“I’m going to go, Academy.”

Had Raiden been an asshole, he would have hit the academy and just drank in his room.

But I’m different.

[The warrior loved by everyone] is also an academy thing in the first place.
