Ten days have passed since Ryan left for the expedition.
Early in the morning, a message arrived from the Cerberus mercenaries who had participated in the expedition together.
"It looks like the expedition ended at dawn. They're probably busy disposing of the bodies by now, so my lord should be back around lunchtime."
Kali, who had received the messenger's falcon, said.
I was surprised.
"Already?!"
“I guess it’s because the lord is one against a hundred.”
“Oh, but still...”
It was the same during the last Eastern Expedition, and it is a speed that goes beyond common sense.
I didn't know that having a Ryan or not would make such a big difference.
Ryan, who must hide this ability, can only subdue the demons with pure force and then finish them off with an instant kill.
Still, it's amazing that this speed is achieved.
“He’s a great man...”
It's really amazing.
What would have happened if the alliance with Ryan had failed?
He's smart, quick-witted, has great physical strength, possesses an instant death skill, and is insanely strong even without any special abilities, and...
‘...You must also be of the chosen blood.’
Even the fraudulent settings are so excessive that it makes me laugh.
So, the day Nike met David and scolded him, mocking him harshly, saying, "Huh? You? A Duke?"
I couldn't help but think.
Who is the 'chosen blood' to become the next Duke of Wassenberg?
Well, actually, one of the things I've been gritting my teeth about since I first returned is Ryan.
'Ah! So that kid was the chosen one!'
That was it.
It was very unfair for me, who suffered so much because the chosen blood of that bastard didn't come out before the regression.
The identity of the chosen bloodline can only be confirmed by giving birth to a child. The child must possess special abilities.
And surprisingly, before the regression, none of the brothers who had children had the chosen blood.
I had many nephews and nieces, but they were all 'incompetent'.
Of course, after meeting Ryan... I learned that the incompetents weren't actually incompetent, they just hadn't inherited this ability...
Still, I was convinced that my nephews were truly ordinary.
Why?
'Because there were so many samples.'
People probably think that David, the eldest son of Wassenberg, had only two sons.
But no.
Although not known to the public, there are two other illegitimate children born around the same time.
Maybe I have more nephews and nieces that I don't know about?
Anyway, my father was a man who was serious about strengthening the family line, so he made sure that all of my legitimate brothers had children as quickly as possible...
As a result, I have an abundance of nephews and nieces.
As of before the regression, I know that each of my nephews and nieces has at least three brothers.
Could it be that all of them were still alive and had powers that overlapped with those of superpowers?
Even statistically, it doesn't make sense.
So I'm absolutely sure.
This time, the chosen blood will definitely be Ryan.
'I feel so sorry.'
Why do you feel wronged?
Since the first or second son of the family has been chosen for generations, I naturally thought that I would not be able to join the ranks of the head of the family before the return.
But even for me, an emergency was declared.
A person with supernatural powers who is no different from a legitimate heir or an illegitimate child.
To quickly identify the chosen blood, all of the young children born out of wedlock from Windsor Castle were forced to marry.
And then I got really horribly pestered by David for insisting that I would never break up with Nike.
“Remember, if you happen to be that guy’s kid, I’ll personally take care of you...”
Stop! For the sake of my mental health, let's not even think about that. It was a warning worse than trash.
Anyway, it would have been difficult if I had had an accident with the royal family.
I couldn't even stop the accident, so what if I was the 'chosen blood'?
A person with supernatural powers and royal blood appears!
Our house must have been in chaos.
David really wanted to kill Nike, but at the same time, he couldn't because Nike was also the reins that could tie me up.
Instead, I suffered terribly. That was the biggest reason I couldn't date comfortably.
But what if Ryan, who was thought to be incompetent and kicked out, was actually the chosen one?
My resentment of being harassed, watched, and suffocated in a relationship!
Pay me back, quickly!
Pay me back, you lion!
“What are you doing, Miss?”
“Whoa!”
The angry pen nib was drawing lines on the calendar.
“Wow!”
A pretty calendar I picked up while browsing the market here.
I had written down my schedule for after returning home in fine handwriting...
“Ugh.”
I finally turned one page.
Then, as an idea occurred to me, I asked Kali, who was next to me.
“When is your birthday?”
“I don’t know the exact date I was born.”
"Yeah. You said the day you were discovered by the village elders was your birthday? Then it's the same as your brother, Revan?"
“Yes, June 1st.”
“I see!”
It was winter, and Alex and I had a wonderful birthday celebration with our families.
I was really, really happy.
I'm sure other family members will have wonderful birthdays too!
“I should ask about the Prince’s birthday later.”
Merchen, who came back to his hometown to sort things out, and Kali, who only had her name on her ID card.
The two decided to sort out their identities this time.
Both of them are destined to be Ryan's younger siblings, just like Revan.
You could say it's a dog genealogy that doesn't exist anywhere else in the world... but I'm happy!
“By the way, when exactly in the summer is Dad’s birthday?”
I was trying to mark it on my calendar, but I didn't realize it was Ryan's birthday. All I remember is that he said it was summer...
“My Lord's birthday has passed.”
“...?”
I was surprised by Kali's words.
“What are you talking about? When I asked you two months ago, you said his birthday was in the summer?”
"Well, I just happened to hear you wishing the Lord a happy birthday. We were on our way here... I think it was April 14th."
“What? Then why are you hiding it?!”
"I wonder if he just let it pass because it overlapped with his travel schedule. Perhaps he lied to you about his birthday being in the summer, because he didn't want to unnecessarily change his departure schedule."
Why bother?
“What are you doing? ...Ah!”
I was dumbfounded because I didn't understand, and then suddenly I realized something.
From the date we departed to the place we stayed, everything was decided by Ryan.
If I had wanted to match the expedition schedule, I could have left a little later, but I left home much earlier.
The reason is...
'That was all to get Nike and me together.'
He said it was a surprise gift.
Oh my gosh, I'm crying. If only I hadn't gotten my panties caught, Ryan would have been the best helper...
No, not this.
“So he lied two months ago because he was worried I’d postpone the trip to celebrate his birthday?”
I was upset.
Ryan's first birthday since being released from prison.
I wanted to take good care of it.
"No!"
I jumped up.
It's a little late, but whatever. What's important is the thoughtfulness.
“Dad said he’d be home around lunchtime, right?”
"Yes."
“There’s still time! Tell everyone to gather!”
The subjugation is over!
Now, all that's left for Ryan is to head home with his waiting family...
"Your Highness, why do you have to stop by Pelen? Did you perhaps leave something behind at your lodgings?"
...with Nike.
“Did you leave your thirteen-year-old girlfriend behind?”
“That’s not it.”
Nike, who said he would join slowly, sent the imperial knights to assist him first, and then stopped by the lodgings that were a transit point alone.
The intention was obvious.
Ryan guessed he wanted to say his final goodbyes to Vania.
This time, Ryan had planned and arranged for the two to meet, but originally, the two would never have met.
And there's no way they'll ever meet again. Unless they're dating and becoming lovers, how could the thirteen-year-old daughter of a low-ranking Baron and a member of the royal family ever meet?
“Well... I rented the place. I have to pay for the additional stay.”
"Yew."
Ryan suppressed a laugh as he watched Nike somehow find a reason to stop by the inn.
Kind of... I think it’s cute.
“Really. I asked you to keep the room vacant while your family stayed...”
“Haha. Thank you.”
“...”
He's usually really quiet, but when he's surprised or embarrassed, he talks a lot, which is quite funny and cute.
“...Please don’t misunderstand.”
Anyway, it seems like everything has been read.
Nike finally sighed as she looked at Ryan, who was smiling sinisterly.
“It’s not that I have any malicious intentions, it’s just...”
“I know.”
Ryan nodded. He'd been with Nike for a few days, and he still hadn't figured him out.
Nike simply wants to say goodbye to Vania. Perhaps neither of them felt particularly good when they last parted ways at Farnese.
The accommodation they arrived at was like that.
After telling the Cerberus mercenaries who had come with him to sort things out, Ryan went inside first.
“Dad is here!”
And then, pause.
The first floor is empty.
It's so clean, as if they cleaned it before leaving.
Ryan suddenly became ominous.
There is no sign of life upstairs either.
“Vania?”
A surprised Ryan went upstairs.
He opened the door to Vania's room.
…...nothing. Even the luggage disappeared.
There's no way his family would have left him first.
So, did something happen?
"What."
Alex's room, right next door, and Merchen's room are both completely empty.
“What the fuck?”
His heart started pounding like it was going to jump out of his chest.
Ryan couldn't calm down as the face of David, the first person to come here, suddenly came to mind.
Is that kid back?
“Ha, my lord...”
The moment he turned his body to urgently go outside and look for something.
“Happy birthday, Dad!”
Bang! Bang!
"I love you!"
Wow.
Ryan stared blankly at the scene unfolding before him.
The door to his own room is open.
Bang, the firecracker exploded.
It seems that the family that was thought to have disappeared was gathered there, making no sound.
By the way, since Ryan didn't think there was any need to open his own room, the person who opened the door was Nike.
Nike was also showered with firecrackers.
It was also Nike who heard the words “Happy Birthday”.
And...
'Is this true?'
Ryan was dumbfounded.
The family members all stood frozen with their mouths wide open.
Nike, who caught Vania in a panic, just blinked.
Vania opened her eyes wide like a startled rabbit and froze.
'Let's say goodbye in a fiery way.'
Ryan's birthday was taken advantage of...
Of course, it wasn't intentional, and Vania must have been flustered.
'If it takes more than three seconds to grasp the situation, then it's intentional. 3...'
One by one, the family members are realizing that something is wrong and are in an uproar.
'2.'
Nike didn't know what to do with his arms that were hugging Vania... He had finally grasped the situation.
'1.'
But as expected.
Vania is still frozen solid!
“Ehei...”
Ryan rubbed his forehead and chuckled before shuffling over. He then playfully flicked away the sly cicada, pretending to be startled and clinging on, tucking it into his arms.
Early in the morning, a message arrived from the Cerberus mercenaries who had participated in the expedition together.
"It looks like the expedition ended at dawn. They're probably busy disposing of the bodies by now, so my lord should be back around lunchtime."
