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

Chapter 172: 172



'However, it's a shame that the Marquis' people have found us. I remember they didn't force us to come with them, but gave us time to think about it. In the end, my mother reluctantly agreed, and they have escorted both of us back to the Marquis Chevalier household.'

Back then, he was just a child who craved paternal affection, since he saw that most kids his age had a father with them, unlike him.

'Just thinking about how immature and pathetic I am for begging a familial affection to my oh-so-called father of mine, it cringes the hell out of me by thinking about it!'

It's been more than a week ago since the incident happened, and at the moment, he was still in his temporary quarters as his old quarters are under renovation and he didn't want to move out from there because that place is the last piece that connects him to his late biological mother who died five years ago.

They weren't in the main household, as requested by his biological mother, who wasn't comfortable to be within the presence of the main family members. Especially the Marchioness.

'Speaking of her, what happened to that rotten b*tch? For all I know, her punishment is a house arrest and nothing else. Well, as expected since no matter what happens, that wrench woman is still the Marquis' legal wife and the mother of those three siblings.'

Eclipse refuse to be part of that family and it disgust him to the point that whenever someone addressed him as "young master Ezekiel" or "third young master" by the surrounding servants, he almost lash out to them and almost forgot that he is a traumatized teenager who was a victim of "assault" by the Marchioness.

'What a tiring day…'

A week had passed since then and the servants who are now serving him only deliver food to his quarters since he "shut himself down" and banned the servants, especially his assigned butler, from staying inside his room for too long.

He needs to pretend that he is traumatized and scared to leave his quarters to defend himself from others. He also refuses to meet anyone, including his father and his three half-siblings.

Right now, he is doing some basic training exercises inside his temporary quarters since his 15-year-old body is nothing but weak, and he needs to build some stamina if he wanted to survive in this world.

Since Eclipse had access to his system interface, he can check through his 3D virtual screens about the current situation that is happening outside while he "confine" himself within his quarters.

As of right now, Eclipse watched on one of the virtual screens about tonight's Royal banquet where his older half-siblings were present. He saw some nobody confronting them and provoking them by talking about the recent issues about their household.

Upon being brought back to the Marquis Chevalier household in his previous life, his three half-siblings held disdain towards him and his mother. The 8-year-old couldn't forget the scornful gazes that they cast upon him and his mother that day, despite their attempts to hide their cold exteriors.

He shook off his head from reminiscing about those memories and he no longer cared about those trivial memories of the past since he wasn't the same as before.

For others, he is nothing, but the disgraced third young master Ezekiel Zephyr Chevalier who was a stained to this oh-so-called prestigious household of war heroes.

But as for himself, he is Eclipse, a Platinum world-hopper and one of the chosen candidates to be the successor of the Main House System and had the chance to become the God and the Leader of the Worldline Realms.

'That's why, even though these so-called siblings of his help him in this current timeline, he won't be grateful as they only did that for the sake of their own ego of heroism that makes him sick to the core, especially the second young master of this household, Count Harrison Wynfred Chevalier.'

???; "Young Mas— I mean, S-sir… Eclipse, this lowly servant, is here."

He raised an eyebrow at the person who suddenly appeared from the balcony; 'Hoh. How low was it? Tsk! Who would have thought this person can be useful, eh?'

"Stand up and come inside."

From the balcony of his temporary quarters, there was a silhouette of a person half-kneeling and when Eclipse told the person to come inside, the silhouette person revealed itself.

Eclipse stopped his training exercises and didn't bother to put on his upper clothes since he didn't care much about etiquette and such, as it would be a waste of time.

"So, have you made up your mind… Nariana? Or would you prefer me to address you as…

« Platinum holder world-hopper Eclipse's progression of the worldline …... 0.009% »

"What in the—?! You can't be serious about these numbers?! Eclipse handled multiple worldlines and most of the time, its progression rates are fast and high! Why was his original world's worldline progress is much slower this time around?!"

Kira couldn't help but raise her opinions because of the results that appeared in front of her as she stood beside her superior, who is the one overseeing Eclipse's progress in his original worldline.

"Sir Red, just what is happening…"

Red, on the other hand, already seen this coming as he sighed; "The world plot of [Mystique Enchantress] hasn't started yet since Eclipse entered his 15-year-old original body and not his 25-year-old body. So, the progress rate is much slower, though."

Kira raised an eyebrow and looked at her superior with a deadpan expression; "But Sir Red, there are other worldlines that most world-hoppers entered, and those world plots haven't even started, but the progression rate isn't like this!"

Kira was previously a world-hopper too before she accept Red's proposal to work under him, so she knew how worldlines operates and as an experienced world-hopper such herself, she encounters world plots that haven't started yet but the progression rate wasn't slow like some turtle strolling at the beach.

If the plot could not be saved or if the original host's desire could not be fulfilled, most world-hoppers entered the body of their designated host, which was sent back in time.
