Reincarnated as the Villainess's attendant

Chapter 676 235 - Knight Training (Part 2)



"And if you are so worried, then you can just copy Cat's stone armor."

Seeing that his earlier words didn't seem to convince George, Zoemi smirked and pointed at the big brown wolf that approached him wagging its tail while waiting to be patted.

"Huh?! Hey! That's right!"

George gasped and jumped up as if he never considered that an option before.

"Eeehhh...? You don't want to use mommy's magic?"

"Moom...!"

Fountrein asked teasingly, which made George blush and complain, glancing at Zoemi as if afraid that the black-haired boy will start making fun of him.

"But... if you really don't want me to use other attributes..."

Still, George ended up looking to the side before speaking awkwardly kicking the ground.

"I'm just joking, sweetie~! Although Cat's spell might be too advanced for you to copy at this point... Armor spells are notoriously difficult for mages to master. Give it a try though, mommy is cheering you on!"

The paster-red-haired woman waved her hand dismissively and smiled gently.

"Just don't start sulking if he will do it on his first try after everything you said."

"Hey! Don't make it sound as if I'm some petty person!"

Paul snickered at his wife which made her gasp and blush while she glared at him.

"AH! Zoemi! Are you done with the training for today?! You promised to go around the village with me to shop around before we depart!"

Suddenly, the neon-pink-haired Roiso popped up by Fountrein's side and asked Zoemi in excitement...

Around one week later, a carriage with the crest of the Tencelion family's crest arrived at the capital of the Perserios territory.

Despite Tencelions being only lower nobles, both children of the current head of the Perserios family showed up to greet them.

When the carriage door opened, it was revealed that only two children were inside – a black-haired boy and a neon-pink-haired girl.

"Zoemi, Roiso~! You both grew up so much!"

"Young lady Perserios."

"Hello, Roki~!"

Rokiana welcomed them with a bright smile and both children responded in a similar fashion.

"This is my younger brother, Devios Elef Perserios, the heir of our family. He really wanted to meet you both after everything I told him about you."

The blue-haired girl reached out towards a light-blue-haired boy with one murky-black eye and announced with pride.

"...! It is an honor, young lord."

Zoemi's eyes widened at the sight of the younger boy.

Was it the same thing as with Roiso and Metavicero? In the previous timeline, Devios was born with only one eye and the missing one got replaced with a mana stone. Later on, one of Zoemi's sentinels would replace that mana stone in order to save Devios's life.

And it seemed that it became a permanent part of the young blue-haired boy in the current timeline too.

"Please, just call me Devios. After everything I've heard it feels like we are basically family already."

The eight-year-old Devios shook his head before winking at Zoemi while making sure that his sister wouldn't see it.

|He remembers!|

The black-haired boy realized instantly and his smile became even wider.

"Fa... family...?! Devios...! Sir Mizoe and I aren't like that yet!"

Rokiana might not have noticed the winking, but she sure did hear what her younger brother said and started blushing.

"Sis, I didn't say anything about Zoemi's father though?"

"...!"

This time Devios really did tease his older sister and snickered, making her flinch and blush even more as she realized that she dug her own grave.

"A-anyway...! Devios, both of them will be staying with us while Zoemi will be participating in the knight training."

"Just like Grazio and Ehmy Victureo and young lady Espine?"

Rokiana cleared out her throat trying to regain her composure and said, to which Devios tilted his head and asked to confirm.

"Exactly. I bet you two must be surprised hearing that those three are here too."

The blue-haired girl nodded and glanced over at Zoemi and Roiso.

Both of them nodded their heads as if too surprised to squeeze a word in, but in truth, Zoemi knew about this turn of events from the very start as Miriette revealed it to him the very moment it was decided upon. The black-haired boy wasn't going to keep his neon-pink-haired friend in the dark either.

Still, it seemed like in this timeline, Espine and Victureo families were especially close.

"Hmm... Victureo family introduced an age limit to their knight training, probably to prevent their son to try and participate in it, but somehow they still sent him here for it...? They are quite an odd bunch."

Zoemi tilted his head and raised his brow at the silliness of the situation.

If Grazio's parents were going to fold on their stance on their son's participation, why didn't they let him do it in their territory where they could influence the outcome without being too obvious?

"I don't know, you will be able to ask them yourself. Oh, by the way, did sir Mizoe tell you that he set some records while training here?"

Rokiana shrugged her shoulders and pointed out before smiling as if the achievement of Zoemi's father was her own.

"What kind of record?"

The black-haired boy didn't really feel like continuing the subject of the Victureos anyway, and gladly asked back with interest.

"He actually defeated every single combat instructor that we have – including my grandfather!"

Rokiana boasted in excitement.

"Nobody died?"

"Wha...?! Of course, nobody died! They were just practice fights!"

Zoemi asked, causing Rokiana's eyes to widen as she gasped in response to the shocking question.

"Ah, so his control improved this much! He really is amazing, isn't he?"

The black-haired boy smiled and nodded, raising his head with pride.

"He is! With that, even though he was banished from his family, dad has no problem with letting me marry hi...! I...! I mean...! My father would like for him to visit us a few times!"

The blue-haired girl clenched her fists and jumped up from excitement before suddenly realizing that she was getting ahead of herself quite a bit and hurriedly looked away.

"...hah, some things never change... And speaking of which – I haven't had the chance to talk with lady Miriette, does she has her memories back just like you and me?"

"Hey! Me too."

Devios smirked, glancing at his older sister before turning to Zoemi and asking him – as he did, Roiso stepped between him and the black-haired boy and declared grumpily.
