Chapitre 12: True
"I want to use it for the family, father."
-"I want to use it for myself."-
There was no need for me to answer truthfully.
He had never felt the warmth called "family" again after he turned six. Therefore, Raimon had no intention of using his life to serve the family, unless he became the next Duke of the family. However, to achieve that, he would have to defeat his monstrous father and grandfather.
"Kuhahaha!"
Raion suddenly burst out laughing. The echo echoed throughout Castle Blood and shook the ground.
The knights waiting outside the throne room were startled in surprise. They had never heard the Duke laugh so vigorously in recent years.
After a while, the laughter subsided and Raion became expressionless as usual. He leaned over and brought his face close to Raimon's.
"What a funny lie. You can be more honest with your father, you know."
Raimon had not expected this situation. However, he suppressed his surprise and spoke slowly.
"...For me."
"Hm?"
"I want to use it for myself."
"Good. After you've beaten your brothers and left them in the storm, there's no way you're going to use your power for the family. I'll keep an eye on you from here on out."
Raion walked past Raimon and out of the room. After his father's footsteps disappeared into the distance, Raimon finally noticed the cold sweat running down his face and back.
A mixture of disbelief and relief flashed across his face.
"Whew!"
Letting out a big breath of air and wiping his sweat with his sleeve. He had never stood up to his father so boldly during his last 29 years in his previous life, let alone the 6 years in this world.
"I've made it. I've made it."
As the adrenaline rush subsided, he could finally hear his heartbeat.
Thanks to today's conversation with his father, Raimon had gained Raion's approval to freely use the power of Belenus, and his father's expectations of him were very high.
In my first life, I ended up dying without having the opportunity to do anything.
In this world full of fantasy and adventure, I want to use Belenus' power properly.
"I would never have thought that my father would have expectations of me".
Even if he later leaves the family for whatever reason, Raimon will try to use his power to protect the family by any means possible.
The family would not allow a Flower who left the family to gain power and potentially use it against them.
Therefore, Raimon had to decide on the spot whether to leave the family or he would have to hide in some Kingdom to train in secret. The Kingdom of Austria was affiliated with the Magic Federation under the influence of the enemy family. It was the perfect place for Raimon to hide.
The ancient secret of the Flower Clan: the founder's contract with Belenus.
Raimon did not know this undisclosed information.
Raion had said it was a secret the family had "kept hidden for a long time," but Raimon wanted to know the details of the founder's relationship with Belenus better than his father and the family.
Belenus had told Raimon his history with the family personally after the contract was made during the trial. At that time, Raimon and Belenus chatted amicably as two close friends.
But he never told me why he left the Flowers and became a solar nature god instead of a sword god.
Moreover, since his awakening, Belenus had not spoken to him once.
Raimon speculated that his awakening was a phenomenon that had occurred due to the power and authority of Belenus during his arrival in this world, but that was only a hypothesis.
When Raimon turned one year old, he realized that his body was very different from normal babies as the sense of strength and ability to concentrate for a baby clearly exceeded normal expectations.
This Solar power could be used immediately after he "selected" the great sword that his grandfather had given him as a gift.
On the day of his "awakening", during the night after the ritual, someone broke into the mansion and a powerful curse was cast upon Raimon by a 9-star enemy.
It was the similar to the curse he felt when he entered the body upon arriving in this world.
The incident repeated itself.
During his birth, the first curse was destroyed when my soul arrived while the second curse was devoured by the power of the Sun.
"Contractor, it seems that someone has been holding a grudge against you since your childhood."
"You wouldn't have been able to use your full potential because of a trivial curse. That might have been the reason you captivated me so much."
Those were Belanus' words right after they made their contract.
Raimon recalled that conversation, he saw the chains of the curse slowly creeping toward his cradle. Although he was fully conscious, he could neither resist nor block the curse with the body of a one-year-old child.
He began to blame his newborn body for his helplessness. He could not resist the curse that was creeping toward him, nor call for help.
Suddenly, the power of Belanus manifested itself.
The chains failed to reach Raimon, and disappeared in his shadow.
Curses of this level could not affect Belanus' contractor.
"Just wait. I don't know who cast this curse on me, but once I've grown, I'll find you. And I will kill you."
The power to control solar flames, his knowledge of genetics he acquired in his past life, his skill and talent with the sword.
Raimon had retained the qualities of his previous life through reincarnation and would develop the full power of this new body.
He would not suffer the same fate as last time. The family would protect him in his early years and then shine brightly in this new world.
A totally different future awaited him.
"Young Master."
"Yes, Nana Reineza?"
When he turned around, Reineza was waiting for him at the entrance.
"The Duke has announced his departure. You must come to see him off."
"All right."
"But... are you all right?"
Reineza asked worriedly.
She had seen the twins return to their rooms with ash-white faces and terrified expressions, so she could not hide her concern for Raimon.
"I'm fine, are my younger brothers leaving too?"
"Yes. They have only come to greet the Duke. Ah! But Lady Ocean has left a gift for you, young master."
"I will open the gift later. I must first go to see father off."
There were more than 200 guardian knights who had shown up at Castle Blood, accompanying their respective blood knights.
