Rebirth: The Villainous Young Master Doesn't Want to Follow the Script

*************

LOCATION: CHEVALIER HOUSEHOLD MANOR

CRUX CITY, CENTRAL REGION OF STELLARUS EMPIRE

*****HEADMASTER OFFICE*****

"There's a news coming from the Royal Palace, the Crown Prince Alois…. Was found dead on his bedroom!"

The people inside the Marquis' office couldn't help but pale because of the sudden news coming from the second young master of this household the moment he barged into the Marquis' office.

"A-are you sure about that? H-hold up! W-wait a second! T-this is so messed up! So sudden?!"

The ever calm and indifferent Lady Marchioness of the household who was known for her dignified demeanor amongst her fellow peers, right now, had a flustered expression on her face because of the sudden news that was dropped onto them.

Lorraine noticed how the supposed calm and indifferent Lady Marchioness had now a flustered looked on her face and the woman could relate that expression because even her was shocked to the core upon hearing the news.

'Just what in the world is happening right now?'

She thought and didn't know what to react anymore. It feels like there is something amiss about this whole situation…

No. That's not it. From the very beginning, something truly is amiss in this current timeline, and she didn't know if this was a good thing or not because she could no longer rely on the memories that she had on her previous timeline because everything right now is totally different compared before.

'I don't know what's truly going on and how the heck that b*stard of a Crown Prince died like that?! From what I know according to the reports from one of the Grand Duke's people, there wasn't even a strange occurrence happening during his solitary confinement in his Palace for the past three years?'

Lorraine thought as she looked at the people within her and she diverted her attention away from them and looked at the second young master who suddenly barged into this place.

After that, she looked away from the Count and then looked once more at Lady Marchioness Felicity who still couldn't get over about the news she just heard and for that moment, this might be the first time Lorraine saw the most elegant noblewoman lost her composure because of this unexpected news.

Harrison, on the other hand, just nodded at her little sister's outburst statement and even he would have felt the same reaction as his little sister right now.

'Thank God and no one noticed my sudden behavior back at the Palace when I suddenly caught a wind about this situation, and I know that I should let my elder brother and little sister to know about this.'

He thought to himself however, Harrison didn't expect that they had a guest inside the office and the only person that Harrison recognize is none other than Lady Lorraine Fowler, a student with a rare Elysian bloodline power from Lumen Academy and his elder brother's presumed ward since the Chevaliers are sponsoring her and that makes her affiliated to them.

However, Harrison didn't recognize the other person in the office and it's a guy that he wasn't familiar or recognized with.

He snapped from those thoughts because that's not important for now and there is more pressing matters that needs to be addressed as of this moment.

However, before he could step inside his elder brother's office, Harrison looked around within the halls of the household to check if there were any servants around the area.

After a minute had passed and noticed that there was no one around within the vicinity, Harrison immediately go inside and shut the door, and after that, activate a spell on the door to block all communications from the inside and outside of the room and not only that, to prevent someone from trespassing during their discussion.

After everything had settled, Harrison turned around but before that, the second young master once again looked at the unfamiliar person within this room and for that moment, he felt his instincts itching him for something as soon as he place his eyes on this unknown person.

'Just who is this person by the way? For some reason, he creeps me out that I don't know.'

Harrison thought and didn't divert his eyes away from the unknown figure inside his elder brother's office and frowned for a moment to hide his anxiety about the unknown figure.

Altron, on one hand, didn't berate his second little brother because of his impropriety and just let it slide for now because there are more important matters that needs to be discussed right now rather than the original plan they should have discussed about back at the dining hall.

'Geez! Just what the heck? What the f*cking hell Harrison meant by his words earlier?!'

He thought and sighed as he didn't know what to think anymore.

Also, he noticed his second little brother looked at Francis and the Marquis (Grand Duke) almost face-palmed himself because he forgot that Francis was with them.

'This person haven't spoken for a while that I forgot that he was with us the whole time.'

He thought and he cleared his throat to catch the attention of his second little brother and it works because Harrison diverted his eyes away from Francis and looked at him instead.

Altron coughed for a moment and speak; "Well, this gentleman here is Sir Francis Aiden Kashaya, and he is acquainted with the Headmaster of Lumen Academy. The Headmaster introduced him to me, and we got acquainted afterwards because of the Headmaster."

He paused for a moment and then looked at Francis and was about to introduce his second little brother when Francis beat him into it.

"No need to introduce him to me, Grand Duke. Who wouldn't know about the youngest Knight Captain from the 10th Knight Squad of the Imperial Army who the Emperor bestowed a Baron noble title to him at the young age of 17 and rose to the position of a Count because of his great contribution within the Empire and the last but not the least…. He is also known as the Second Young Master of this household…

Count Harrison Wynfred Chevalier. Am I right?"

'Wow! You almost laid out his whole life story in the way you said those statements, young man!"

Altron thought and he almost laughed because of how nonchalant Francis was as he stated Harrison's almost biography life and his second little brother just stared at the man with his almost stoic expression and the Marquis knew that his second little brother wasn't fascinated at all.

'Also, it will be a wise choice for me to associate Francis to the Headmaster since that's the truth anyway rather than saying he just appeared out of nowhere in some parts within the academy and right in front of them.'

Because he knew that Harrison would suspect Francis even more if he tell the truth on how they got acquainted and it's true that Francis is acquainted with the Headmaster but it's not the Headmaster who introduced Francis to them first but rather….

'It's almost as if Francis deliberately approach us and since my hidden trait isn't working on him, I got suspicious and couldn't let my guard down that time, but Lorraine assured me that Francis isn't a threat to them, and I gave my trust to that woman.'

Even though it shouldn't be because of what happened in the past-future memories that Altron had within those dreams of his but right now, he let is slide for now and snapped from his thoughts for a moment.

His second little brother is known for his carefree and playful manner ever since he was young, even if he became a Count and had a territory to lead on his own but still, he retain those usual manners of his.

However, there are times when he became serious and whenever that happens, Harrison is like a lone wolf that would quietly observe within his surroundings from the sidelines and observe for any potential weakness that he could get within his palms.

Also, after the incident that happened to Ezekiel because of the former Marchioness three years ago, Harrison would become even more wary of people and would just stay silent on the sidelines and rarely would let his carefree personality resurface if he wanted to.

Not only that but with the sudden death of Ezekiel three years ago, Harrison became even more colder than the usual and his carefree personality had long been buried ever since that day.

However, right now, Harrison's sudden burst on the door in his office is one of his second little brother's former antics that he thought he wouldn't be able to see anymore because of what happened.

'At least, he still had it then.'

However, Altron couldn't help but think about the sudden news of the Crown Prince and the Marquis would bet that this wouldn't be publicize and the Palace would come up with an excuse about the Crown Prince's status in his solitary confinement.

From the reports that he got from one of his people that he dispatch, there is no strange movement within the Crown Prince's Palace and Altron was also looking for the rumored hunting group under the Crown Prince's commands because those b*stards where involve with Ezekiel's sudden demise.
