0 – prologue

“Brother, Master Ciel. It is time to wake up.”

Suddenly, a strange female voice is heard. What’s the situation? I must have been hit by a car and died…

Why do I hear the name of the main character in a novel that my younger brother, whom I know, has vaguely concocted?

“Mister Ciel von Kreuttel, Your Excellency the Baron is calling.”

When I opened my eyes, there was a woman standing in front of me, dressed in a maid outfit that could only be seen in a cartoon.

“Is it a dream?”

As I pulled my cheek, I felt a pinching pain in my face.

Seeing the pain, I don’t think it was a dream.

So what is this situation? Why do you call me Master Ciel?

The maid in front of me looked at me with eyes like ‘Why is this person like this?

“Mister Ciel, I will help you change your clothes. Change your clothes and go see Your Excellency.”

… If I’m Master Ciel as the maid said, did I become the main character in a novel written by an acquaintance?

Standing in front of a large mirror, the reflection of myself was completely different from the me I had known.

A thin, white, handsome boy as if drawn in a painting… This is me, I can’t believe it at all.

After changing my clothes with the help of the maid, I moved to the baron’s office to meet the baron, the father of this character.

The baron, who was sitting inside the office, looked at me and greeted me with a bright smile.

“Are you here, Ciel?”

Seeing now that the maid kept calling me Master Ciel, this must be my father.

“Yeah.”

And the baron looked at me with a bright smile as if he had the whole world and said, not the solemn expression he had before meeting me.

“The letter of acceptance sent to you from the most prestigious knight academy of the Elaine Empire just arrived. Congratulations, Ciel. The entrance ceremony is in a month, so prepare to leave in two weeks.”

If the situation that is unfolding now is the world in the novel he wrote, Ciel von Kreuttel’s life began to fall apart after he went to the academy.

The baron in front of me will follow an incompetent lord in the next few years and be defeated.

And as a victim of the civil war within the academy, I was branded a traitor and deprived of my title.

If that happens, I will die living a miserable life in another world.

“hahahaha, Ciel… my proud son She sang like that because she wanted to go to the academy, but when she heard the news of her acceptance, she must have been so happy that she was surprised.”

The baron continued to congratulate and encourage me, but I couldn’t concentrate on his words.

Because right now, my head is full of worries about how I can survive without ruining like Ciel in the novel he wrote.

So I grabbed one side of my stomach as if it hurt, then frowned and said:

“I feel like I ate something wrong yesterday. My stomach hurts. Can I go to the bathroom for a minute?”

“Do it.”

Then I pretended to go to the bathroom and started organizing my thoughts.

First, don’t go to the academy to avoid the death flag.

After that, if I develop this territory to the fullest and become stronger with the knowledge of modern people I have, I won’t have to see the baron or I fall apart in a few years.

Coincidentally, this world is a different world like medieval Europe in a parallel world with no magic or fantasy elements.

In other words, this world is the best place for me to be active.

So I said to avoid the death flag.

“I will not go to the academy.”
