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

Chapter 26: A Surprise Visitor



**********

Eclipse didn't know the reason for this kind of situation because, in all his millennium years' worth as a world-hopper, this was the first time that he encountered such problems.

'I could tell that Sir Red was also anxious when he couldn't reconnect with my system interface as well.'

He wasn't that anxious at all, but sometimes he couldn't help but feel alone once more since he was now a foreigner to this worldline, even though this was where he came from in the previous timeline.

'If only Silver was with him then…'

He snapped from thinking further and sighed because he didn't know what to do for now.

'After a month from this day onwards, vacation break is over and another academic year at Lumen Academy will start. Not only that, as soon as the new academic year starts, the main storyline will also begin.'

However, ....

Eclipse wasn't planning to attend that academy since he didn't need to follow his designated character.

'Why should I, anyway? I've already done with this sh*t, and I have more pressing matters that are much more important than portraying this role. After all, my role as the minor villain of this worldline is already done and I don't need to redo it again.'

At first, when he first arrived in this world, he thought he needed to do his role as Ezekiel Zephyr Chevalier once again and follow his designated script as the minor villain.

But when he looked up his system interface, there was an unread message from his private e-mail address, and he opened it to read the contents itself.

The one who left the message came from none other than his superior, Red.

He recalled the contents of the message left for him…...

...…

Eclipse,

For starters, I would like to apologize first for transporting you back to your original world. I know what I did wasn't the right thing, since it will only bring back unpleasant memories from your previous life as Ezekiel Zephyr Chevalier.

However, I don't have a choice, since this is the only way to save you from that anomaly that we detected from your last worldline mission.

For now, I am still conducting some investigations on my own since I couldn't entrust this to others, especially the Higher Councils, so as not to put you in more danger.

Although the other members of the Council knew half of the information about this situation, they weren't aware of your soul's energy condition. Even my assistant, Kira, only knew that you needed to heal your soul energy and nothing else.

We only theorize about that condition you have is something related to your original worldline that even I, as the Leader of the Higher Councils and the only person who had the authority to look through within the ORIGIN ARCHIVE, couldn't even get a conclusion about it.

As your superior, who handled and guided you, I managed to remove your designated role in your original worldline.

You're no longer tied by your previous role since you have already done it before and any altercation that you made wouldn't affect you since your role in the main storyline wasn't that important. There would be someone who can replace you as the minor villain.

So, you don't have to be afraid if you change things as long as you wouldn't do anything to affect the main storyline of this worldline.

I'll try to get in touch with you if I manage to find relevant information about your condition and about that unexpected anomaly.

Stay safe and I just hope that you find closure and free yourself from your silent misery.

=RED

...….

That's why he wasn't that worried since his supposed designated role as the minor villain of this worldline was no more and he is now free to do whatever he wants, as long as it wouldn't affect the main storyline.

'The main storyline will start at the academy, and I decided not to attend. However, I am still a son of a noble and it was required for any noble children to attend that hellhole of an academy. Tsk!'

Eclipse already resolved himself not to attend that academy since it wasn't his business anyway and besides, he no longer had the thought of being accepted by this household and he only needed to think for himself and no one else.

'After helping Rheina to get what she wanted, I'll now have to move on to my next plan.'

...

.......

......….

'Okay? What was this guy doing in here early in the morning that he immediately came here all by himself?'

Eclipse pretended to be anxious while maintaining his brave appearance in front of his so-called elder half-brother however, on the inside, the world-hopper is brutally murdering this kid with thousands of curses in every d*mn minute passed.

The one who visited him is none other than the First Young Master and heir apparent to the Marquis (Grand Duke) noble title, the first legitimate son of this household... Altron Zerux Chevalier.

As soon as morning arrived, a knock on the door three times greeted him and a servant standing outside his room conveyed that his elder brother wished to have a conversation with him.

Initially, Eclipse hadn't anticipated that this self-proclaimed elder brother would approach him and engage in a discussion following that incident.

'Out of the three Chevalier siblings, I am much more wary of this guy.

He might look decent on the outside but for sure, he is the most cunning bastard that I remember, and I wouldn't forget what he had done to me in the previous timeline, even though right now he is nothing but an innocent, but I doubt that.'

In the previous timeline, when the rumors about Eclipse harassing a female student, which is the heroine, his elder half-brother, Altron Zerux Chevalier, intervened and took action to discipline Eclipse since that guy was also an instructor in the Lumen Academy.

Not only that, when the murder case of the deceased Marchioness came out to light, and his other "atrocious deeds" for betraying the empire, Altron was the one who took it upon himself to punish Eclipse for his evil deeds within his own hands since this could at least save the reputation of the household for harboring such [atrocious child], they said.

'I admit about the murder for that wench, old woman, but for that other [atrocious deeds] that they put on his head, that he would never accept such things! Tsk! Just thinking about the person who makes him a scapegoat, I hope I won't encounter you in this lifetime, and if it does, heh! Good luck!'

"How are you right now, Ezekiel?"

Eclipse was about to frown at the mention of that name when he remembered that he was still Ezekiel Zephyr Chevalier within their eyes.

'Ha! I just want to get the hell out of this place!'

Eclipse mumbled; "A-ahmmm… I-I'm f-fine…"

'I won't call him [big brother] as I don't see him as one. We are practically strangers to one another, and I don't need his pity concerns about me.'

Just because that incident happened, and the truth has already laid in front of them, doesn't mean that Eclipse would mend his relationship with this family.

If this were in the previous timeline where he was still a naïve teenager and would seek acceptance from his family, there might still be a chance for them to become a genuine family.

However, as a world-hopper who has experienced countless lifetimes and has already seen what human nature is, Eclipse doesn't care about it anymore.
