Chapter 83: Restrictions and Alliance
************
The mysterious guide that Altron was talking about is the mysterious voice that keeps on appearing within his dreams and that guide had the information about the hidden traits.
[Enigma's Judgement] isn't the only hidden traits amongst the Knight Warrior bloodlines, but Altron wasn't that invested in the other traits since he had his primary traits and that's the AURA MASTER.
Unlike Swordsmanship where ones usually have a sword within them that could unleash their respective elemental aura, just like Harrison since his traits is Swordsmanship, Altron could manifest any kinds of weapon to his liking or could utilize any items that he could touch with the use of his aura.
That's why he doesn't need to carry any weapons with him since all he needs to do was to imagine a weapon and turn it into shape to his liking.
'That's why I don't need any traits to manifest, and I am content with everything under my disposal.'
If it was others, they would be greedy enough to have more abilities for themselves but the Chevaliers, especially from the direct bloodline, weren't greedy enough and they followed the teachings of their ancestors and respected it.
<< ..... "The power bestowed upon us, utilize it to protect the weak and became their pillars of strength that wouldn't crumble." ..... >>
Just thinking about one of their ancestor's teachings, Altron couldn't help but sighed because.... He questioned himself.
'Did we even live up to our ancestor's teachings? I don't think so.'
"My apologies if I didn't come to you after the graduation ceremony, First Young Master Altron or would you prefer me to addressed you to your new title.... Grand Duke, or.... Marquis Chevalier?"
Altron snapped from his thoughts when he heard the woman speaks and almost twitch at the title addressed to him at the last sentence by this woman.
'I don't know if she was being sincere or just making fun of me or what.'
He snorted as he spoke; "Don't address me that way since we are still inside the academy as noble titles are irrelevant in this place. Just address me as Instructor Chevalier and nothing else."
He said as he looked at the young woman who snickered at him and Altron gritted his teeth in annoyance.
'For some reason, this woman is getting on my nerves whenever she does that expression! D*mn it!'
He thought as he puffed his chest and looked at his side; "Tch."
'If this woman isn't related to Ezekiel, then, I won't tolerate this woman either but since she is willing to help and even go so far to investigate the case from three years ago, it will be for the better.'
Of course, now that Altron officially became the Marquis of the Chevaliers three years ago, after the funeral arrangements for Ezekiel, their father, who is now the former Marquis, suddenly appeared when he heard about what happened to Ezekiel and attended to his funeral ceremony.
As much as he wanted to shout and yelled at their indifferent father but as a filial son, Altron couldn't do it and could only secretly cried at his own office because of his incompetence.
He wanted to ask that time where he was when they needed them the most, Especially, of what happened to Ezekiel since as a temporary headmaster of the household that time, he doesn't have a full authority to seek an audience with the Emperor when he learned that it involves the Crown Prince because there is evidence within Ezekiel's palms.
If he thinks about it, even if Altron gain full authority of the Marquis title, it will be all for a naught because no matter how great their family is but in the eyes of the Royal family, they were still mere subjects to the Crown.
However, even if that's the case then, the Chevaliers still holds power that equals to the Crown since they were Grand Dukes after all and second to the Royal family.
Altron wasn't a fool to let his emotions cloud him. If he wanted revenge, he could do it in another way.
After the funeral service for Ezekiel that time, without a thought, his father just handed over everything to him and passed the Marquis title to him, even the authority to mobilize the Opus Elite Squad, the trained knights under the Chevaliers for generations, are within his hands at disposal.
If Altron was any other greedy nobles out there, he would take advantage of this privilege that he acquired but as someone who is loyal to their ancestor's teachings, he wouldn't tarnish the reputation of the household.
The news about passing the Marquis title to him and its full authority, this became a hot topic within the noble society since Altron became the second youngest Patriarch within their society, the first one is his second brother who got promoted from Baron to Count noble title.
But if they talk about inheritance, Altron is the youngest nobleman to inherit the Marquis title since the previous Patriarch of the Chevaliers, their father, he inherit the title at the age of 26 years old.
Not only that, Altron is a bachelor in the eyes of the noble society and ever since he became a Marquis, there were countless of marriage proposals that he receives from his household's office and since Altron is an Instructor at the academy, the ones who took care of the household is one of his trusted aides.
As for the Marchioness' confinement, Altron didn't lift the punishment but instead, he moved her out from the main household and delivered her back to her natal household to continue her sentence there.
She might be their mother but the vulgar deeds that were exposed within the public, it would be better for her not to appear within the noble society ever again, lest she wanted to make herself to be a laughingstock within the whole empire.
He didn't want to think about that since it's not that important and he already settled everything about it and now he needs to focus on the alliance that he made with Lorraine.
This worldline's so-called heroine, according to his mysterious guide.
However, the Lorraine in front of him and the Lorraine from the previous timeline are somewhat different.
