Chapter 12 Leaving Mansion



After leaving the mansion, I started walking not so fast, but at the same time, not so slow either.

I don\'t know how the workers in the mansion transport from the mansion to their homes, but I think they should at least have some sort of carriage or other things.

It feels a bit cruel to them, not that I care about them.

But it would be good to reduce the physical activity I need to do to reach the city.

Just like that, I kept walking, and it seemed luck was really on my side today.

"Ho, isn\'t this guy Noah?"

"Hmm, now that you said it, it seems so."

/CLOP/ /CLOP/

Hmm, who are those guys, tho?

Let\'s check; although they might feel a bit uncomfortable if Noah somehow knows them, then it would be a bit suspicious.

With that, I used my art on them to see their statuses.

STATUS

Name – George

Class – Butcher

STATUS

Name – Henry

Class – Carpenter

I see, so those guys are also personnel from the mansion.

"Hey, Noah, why are you walking like that at this time?"

Suddenly the butcher named George asked me. It seems Noah wouldn\'t leave by himself usually, and it is pretty normal, considering he is just a boy.

"Well, mister George, I was going to the city, so I decided to take a walk to clear my head. Today somehow, my head was elsewhere."

I replied, trying my best not to insult those commoners.

I really feel like my trait will be troublesome to me in the future, but there is nothing that can be done here.

"I see. We are going to the city as well; do you want to come with us?"

The carpenter said, not beating around the bush.

This would really save me the trouble of reaching that place, but I don\'t think I will be able to suppress my traits if I travel with them, so I decided to refuse.

"Thank you for offer com-, cough, mister Henry. But, let me walk to the city by myself. I feel like I need to get this over my head."

I said, and they left, shrugging their shoulders.

I almost couldn\'t suppress my trait, and it seemed this was the best choice.

And just like that, I kept walking while looking around the way.

Although Callius left the mansion from time to time, he has never taken the road from the back gate, so all those scenes are new to me.

After walking around for an hour or so, I finally managed to reach the city of Aachen.

Aachen is the capital city of the dukedom of Augustride.

Although this world is based on a medieval world type, the cities are still a bit technologically developed in a sense.

Well, we can\'t say it is technology; the word mage craft would be a better explanation.

In a sense, there are some advancements, like bloodline recognition or other things, achieved by the existence of magic.

And this city is a good example of that.

There are people walking on the streets, and there are shops displaying the products they are trying to sell, which is a pretty normal city.

However, the thing is the lighting of the city and the structures of the buildings all have some modern aspects to them.

The streets are illuminated by city lights, and the heights of the buildings also resemble modern buildings as well.

There are some carriages looking for customers to transport, while some street food sellers are trying to impress their customers.

In a sense, this city is pretty lively; it seems the news of the duke\'s death is yet to reach the public, which means I can have a bit of free time.

From this point on, I will hop in a carriage and will go to the closest lake to this place, \'The Lake of Forgotten\'.

As I thought that, a carriage was suddenly passing near me, and I swung my arm, signaling him to stop.

Noticing me signaling him, he stopped.

"How much to reach \'Lake of Forgotten\'?"

I asked while hopping into the carriage.

"It will be 500 Aeris, sir. But, if you want to reach that place faster, then I can make you reach there in 30 minutes at the cost of another 500 Aeris."

He said while smiling widely, but from my side, that smile was like a wolf\'s expression.

However, it is not like I lack money right now, so I don\'t care too much about that.

"Okay, then. Bring me to the lake in 30 minutes, and 500 Aeris will be yours."

I said while giving him 500 Aeris.

As you can see, Aeris is the currency of this world, and it is the only currency used in the whole world as well.

In the game, it is said that since Aeris was the currency of the strongest force in the world, the empire, the whole world started using that. And I didn\'t think too much about that topic and just accepted the explanation they gave, but now that I think about it a bit, it seems a bit forced.

There might be another reason for this, but right now, it is not my concern.

Just like that, I started riding the carriage, and it didn\'t take too long for us to reach the lake.

When I reached the lake of forgotten, it was already nighttime, and the sun had already set.

"Sir, if you want, I can wait for you in this place if you pay another 500 Aeris."

The driver said.

Normally, one wouldn\'t behave this respectfully in front of a child. However, right now, I am purposefully leaking my [Tyrant\'s Aura] to make him more submissive towards me, and combined with my trait [Noblesse], it makes commoner people submit themselves.

I used it in case of the possibility of him getting overly greedy since, when it comes to money, humans never cease to impress me.

"My job will be finished at most in 2 hours. Do you think you can wait that long, or do you want to leave?"

I asked since I didn\'t know how much this process would take.

"I see; then I will wait for sir to return here."

Just like that, we decided on a prize, and I started walking towards the lake.

The Lake of Forgotten is a pretty famous lake, and it is a pretty tourist place as well.

The name Lake of Forgotten comes from the tale of a girl who is abandoned by her lover.

It was said that when her lover abandoned her, that girl decided to suicide by throwing herself in the lake.

There are still some legends about her haunting the people around here.

This was one of the reasons why the lake is popular.

Another reason is that the scenery is really beautiful.

The moonlight was sliding on the lake\'s surface, making light games as well as the peacefulness of the environment; everything complements each other, and they create this touristic place.

There are some facilities and cafes around there as well, but right now, my destination is the lake itself.

After walking for 10 minutes or so, I managed to reach the lake and started looking for a sign.

Since I didn\'t know where I should wait or how I should trigger, I just waited and waited in the moonlight.

However, looking at this peaceful environment, children walking around with their families, and young couples flirting made me somehow nostalgic.

Since Callius himself has never had a mother or a family that loved him very deeply aside from his father, he was always alone.

And his attitude didn\'t help either.

During his childhood, there were some kids who wanted to play with him, but he refused them while insulting their family or their status.

However, there was a reason for this. Callius himself was always a good observer, and he was smart as well. He would notice that the kids are offering themselves to be friends with him, not because they want to play with him, but to make connections with him and use them later in time. And this always reminded him of Adelyn, Emma, and his mother, resulting in his unfriendly behavior.

With his arrogant and all-mighty attitude, he was always hated by other children around his age, as well as the adults trying to form a connection with the duke family.

Therefore, right now, Callius does not have any person whom he can rely on in times of crisis.

However, in the end, everyone is human. Deep inside, Callius always wanted to love by someone as well as have a family.

And right now, those emotions are affecting me, making me a bit nostalgic.

However, neither I have the luxury to give in to those emotions, nor do I have any need to.

Are you all alone? Do you have no one to rely on? Do you want to be loved?

So what? No one cares about how you feel or how I feel.

This world is not that pink. It is grey.

No matter what Callius felt or how much he felt lonely, it doesn\'t matter.

The world will never care about how much I feel. It will always throw another challenge, and another challenge, and another challenge. It will never stop, and I will never stop as well.

I will keep moving forward until I exterminate my enemy.

That\'s it.

While I was thinking like that, I suddenly heard the system\'s voice inside my head.

<Ding! The letter from the goddess is resonating with the environment.>

<Spatial magic detected!>

At that moment, I suddenly felt everything get blurry inside my head and drifted to the unknown while losing consciousness…

"You finally came, o\' fated one…."
