Chapter 1: Awakening
Ah, I remembered!
Im the villain aristocrat.
It all came clear to me now.
That this world is a fantasy world of a certain light novel.
And Im not the hero of it.(E/N: Protagonist.)
I just noticed this fact.
So, what do I do now?
Luke, is something wrong?
Just thinking about some things.
Is that so? Your meal is getting cold, so dont overdo it.
Oh damn, seriously.
How is this possible?
Uwaa, what am I gonna do?
What kind of story was it argh, that sucks, I cant remember.
I vaguely remembered the characters.Aall newest chapters on
And that was about it.
Im sorry, Mother. Im feeling a little under the weather, may I rest in my room?
I had no more spare time to eat.
Right now, I would like to use the time I have to understand the current situation.
Huh? Are you all right, Luke? Call the priest immediately
No need. Im just feeling a bit tired.
I hope so If you feel something is wrong, tell me right away.
I will.
Luke.
Yes, Father.
Are you sure youre okay?
Yes. Im not lying.
Right, take some rest. Alfred, let me know right away if theres anything unusual.
Understood, Sir.
Sigh My parents are as overprotective as always.
Thinking so, I walked to my room with my butler, Alfred.
I see.
So this creates the character of Luke.
I have all these memories of what Ive been through as Luke, but I dont remember anyone being angry at me at all.
A prodigy that can do almost anything, anytime.
A family environment where no matter how bad I was, there was no one that would scold me.
No wonder his self-esteem was so high.
And he was arrogant and irreverent, too.
To be honest, I have to say that this environment has built up this guys personality.
Well then, Master Luke. Please let me know if there is anything I can do for you.
Ah.
Having Alfred stand in front of the door and I went in.
And dived straight into bed.
Burying my face in the pillow, I let my thoughts wander.
So, what do I do now?
How should I proceed from this point on?
Lets think about the future for a while.
But no matter how much I thought about it, there was only one answer.
My goal is to be happy.
It doesnt help that Im already a villain as Luke.
The main character will probably beat me up anyway.
Whats his name again, the heros?
Argh, I cant remember..
Maybe Ill remember it in time.
Anyway, I want to live a happy life.
I want my life to have a happy ending.
And luckily, Im an aristocrat.
So I wont be having any trouble with money.
Though.
Doing nothing is boring.
Its such a fantasy world.
Theres no way I can resist the intense desire to fully enjoy swords and magic.
But he was graceful and, to put it bluntly, handsome.
His physique had never weakened.
Im sure thats true, too.
Alfred is a man who used to be the deputy commander of the Royal Knights.
I remembered that earlier.
I thought it would be best for me to learn swordsmanship from him.
But can I say that.
How am I supposed to ask a butler to teach me?
Id rather die than do something so shameful.
Ha?
What an irresistible and intense feeling.
Damn, why do I have to go through all this trouble just to ask him to teach me a sword?
Alfred, can you
Ggggggg Damn, Im speechless!
Just a little more!
Can youuuu
Dahhhh!!!!
Can youuuuuuuuuu!
How can I help you, Master Luke! Huh! Are you not feeling well?
Nooooooo!
I yelled out.
I could feel the sweat pouring out of my body.
My eyes were probably bloodshot too.
Haah haah.
No, I cant ask.
No matter how much I wanted to ask, I couldnt find the words.
Whats this curse?
It sucks.
Am I just going to be the Arrogant Luke no matter how hard I try?
No, Ive to change my thinking.
Teach me the way of sword.
I said it!
I managed to say it by making it imperative!
Alfred-san, Im so sorry!
I know!
I know Ive caused you a lot of trouble in my life!
Im so sorry!
I got down on my knees, at least in my mind.
Forgive me? What did you just say?
Didnt you hear me?
Alfred-san!!
Its too hard to say it again!
Well, Ill do it.
As many times as it takes me to learn the sword.
Teach me sword!
No, excuse me. I am an old man, and I doubted my own ears.
Haah haah I see.
I waited quietly for a response.
Alfred-san seemed to be thinking about something.
But please, please dont say no.
Im trying so hard to resist, but I dont know what Id do if you said no.
really sucks.
Seriously, what is this curse?
Yes, sir. If its all right with me, Id be happy to serve in that capacity.
I managed to get his approval.
Good.
But I cant thank him now.
Im afraid if I open my mouth, Im going to say something hateful, so I have to remain mute.
Im so sorry, Alfred.
Thinking, I thank him from the bottom of my heart.
Haah
Will there ever be a happy ending for me who cant even say thank you?
