A dungeon where no light enters, the ground is barren for life.

Fortunately, only insects that can live honestly in any environment crawled on the floor, and only dust filled the space.

squeaky.

And the sound of chains scratching your ears that filled the darkened space.

” …Get me out of here…”

“I can’t see anything. Please… I’m wrong… From here… Release me…”

“The Count! I will curse you!”

Countless hands of criminals gripped and shook the iron bars made of steel, and between them, Goose fell into extreme fear.

Chunkyung.

mana redemption.

A magical device that controls and binds the wearer’s mana.

Originally created to control wizards walking the path of magic, mana restraints are now starting to be used as magic supplies to bind knights and wizards.

Of course, the price was terribly expensive because it was specially made in the horse tower, but Count Espera was able to spread it in the prison lavishly because he could pile up a lot of restraints.

so-called money.

But thanks to the mana restraints, Goose had to look at the prison completely from a normal person’s point of view.

The deep wounds of wounded sinners, and the resulting terrible screams and curses mixed with resentment.

Goose, who had to watch everything in the dark room, was overcome with extreme fear, crouching down and just watching.

The will to resist was long gone.

He thought that his father, the power of the family and the peak of the family, would come to rescue him, but Gus had to face the cold reality.

The failing Viscount Griff has no power to oppose Count Espera.

In particular, the southern part, abandoned by the imperial family, is a strange area centered on Count Espera.

No matter how hard he tried, there was nothing he could do in this prison.

While burning something so hard on his mind, Goose felt someone’s popularity.

stumble, stumble.

Among the stagnant rainwater, the sound of human footsteps that only feels unfamiliar.

I lowered my head, wondering if it was a guard, but unexpectedly, it wasn’t the voice of a strict guard.

“You’re doing fine.”

“You bastard…!”

The garbage of the family that he hated and always scolded.

“How are you? Isn’t it good enough?”

It was Griff Rommel.

********

The memory of the body that has disappeared into the other side of the memory.

The original Rommel, who was this body in the past, disappeared somewhere, and the me of the real world took its place.

I don’t know where the original Rommel disappeared, but it seems that he made an extreme choice because he could not stand the bullying of his parents and his brothers.

After actually possessing this body, a bandage was wrapped around his forearm.

The stinging pain had subsided thanks to the embarrassment and fear of the unknown rising from the brain.

The painful memories I felt for the first time at that time still lingered deep in my body.

Pavlov’s unconditional reflex.

The memories of years of abuse that lingered in his body are like a frightened puppy.

He kept waking up momentarily.

Maybe that was the reason why I started to twitch when I saw Goose, who was tied to a magic constraint in front of my eyes and looked at me with blazing eyes.

“Uh-huh.”

However, now the relationship has completely changed.

Gus is imprisoned in an underground prison, and I have risen to a unique position in the Espera estate.

The thrill and excitement that began to rise from somewhere in his body, and the shame he had suffered from in the past, quickly turned into excitement.

Was this feeling Rommel’s past, or was it my original emotion that was inherent in it?

“Can I live here?”

Stop pretending, predators of the food chain.

The cat rolls the mouse with its paws and plays with it before eating it.

He walked in front of Gus, who was sitting on his knees, brought a chair, and sat down.

The gaze at eye level has changed, and the eyes of Goose, who have always only looked upward, now turn downward.

I’m a little higher, Goose is down.

What has changed is the height of the eyes.

“This dog is …”

Goose’s eyes staring straight into his eyes with sizzling eyes made me laugh so much.

I spit out the emotion of ridicule that began to rise from the depths of my heart.

“How is it? What’s the difference now? Hearing this from a younger brother who is called the garbage of the family will cause you to disintegrate and die. Like me, my body must have trembled with a sense of shame.”

I look at him with a wide smile.

He shook his body because he could not overcome the feeling of shame, but the magic constraint that was guaranteed by the tower held the mana tightly and fixed it.

As a result, Goose was unable to take any action.

Hostility fills the space, but the body is bound to material things and cannot do anything.

“Do you still think the Griff family is the best? Take a look at you, you are tied to a mana constraint and can’t do anything.”

“You bastard…!”

“The world is changing now, those who stand still are shunned, and those who move forward are constantly developing. Times change, ideas change, disasters occur, and heroic heroes appear in the world.”

Countless heroes and heroines born in the Warring States Period (春秋春國春), the war era of chaos.

People who respected talented people, destroyed the class system, and built a country only with their skills.

The era of meritocracy, where one can rise to the position of prime minister only by skill, not by the power of family or personal connections.

War, conspiracy, game, economy.

By bumping into each other, the country develops and the ideas of citizens are awakened.

In order to develop a stagnant empire, a decaying country, it is inevitable to have a sense of crisis.

A princess who seeks opportunities and fights between princes, and an incompetent emperor.

The stage was set.

Now, it was a problem to be finished by scooping out the stagnant malignant pus and squeezing it out.

And Goose was just one of many, many malignant pus.

“Goose, the Griff family will be completely destroyed.”

“What authority do you have…! The Griff family is the official family of the Empire! How dare you!”

“There’s nothing you can do about screaming like that.”

Something flew over Goose’s face as he was kneeling and staring at him.

puck!

“Cuckoo!”

In an instant, blood gushed out of Goose’s mouth, and Goose touched his face with his right hand, perhaps not wanting to admit that he had been beaten, and looked at Rommel with disbelief.

“Okay? No one cares about what you do to me, right now I’m going to throw you in the crowd of prisoners over there and no one will care if you get eaten or killed?”

“You…! You…!”

“Why? Disintegration? While you were sitting in the family and taking swordsmanship classes, I observed the world. And you became the go player the world needed. But what have you been doing all this time?”

A swordsmanship class, a long-established tradition of inviting retired and famous knights to teach swordsmanship.

Gus was a disciple of a well-known knight, but due to his arrogance and laziness, he could not properly learn the swordsmanship of an old knight.

The only thing he can trust is not his own sword technique, but a famous sword that he bought with a lot of money.

But now, even that is not on Guth’s waist, so there is nothing left for Gus.

“If I lift my finger, you will become a rotting maggot here. If you like, you can destroy the family itself.”

“Can you destroy the family…?”

“The princess who came to the southern part of the empire this time, and Rosé-senpai. Whose side do you think you are on?”

“Dare you…! In that case, the royal nobles who look after us will keep quiet…!”

“The Imperial nobles? Do you think they will look after the Gryphs? Really?”

“..that..that.”

Goose frowned at Rommel’s words and stuttered.

Surely his father tried to bribe the imperial nobles to grab their ropes, but their demeanor was aloof.

As if relics of the past are just relics of the past.

They did not see the Griffs.

“I wonder if they know? What’s the benefit of holding the hand of the crumbling Gryphs? I can only see Count Espera’s eyes.”

Rommel’s words that pierced his heart became spears and pierced Cush’s body, and Cush looked at Rommel without saying anything.

” ..we are a family, aren’t we?”

After a while, Gus barely opened his mouth.

All the kare remaining in his throat flew away, and the voice that rose like boiling began to pass through his throat and come out into Goose’s mouth.

Fence of family.

In a sense, a social group that can be called a shackle.

A step towards a leap forward, or a chain that binds life.

” family? “

If it was the original Rommel, I would have been a little shaken, but the current Rommel is someone from Korea.

I have a family in my hometown, Korea, and all my friends are in Korea.

So Rommel lightly broke the shackles and was able to continue talking.

“f*ck it, go and tell your mother.”

Rommel smiled lightly and walked over to Gus, then opened his mouth.

“I’m waiting, I’m going to kill everyone.”
