Wake Alice in the morning, help her with breakfast and picking out clothing for the day. Study magic and help her understand the various new words she had to learn as well as how to draw the appropriate formations. After studying magic for a few hours, it was time to do more normal studies such as history, territory management, etiquette, everything the heir to a duchy should know. Make lunch while studying and prepare a little for dinner, have a tea break and nap to recharge. After napping there would…-

"A butler? You? And for the Young Lady no less?" Lawrence looked down at the kid beneath him with a dumbfounded expression. He was already training twice a day to become a knight and now he had to be a butler at the same time? How were you even supposed to get any sleep with a schedule like that? "Yes, things sort of ended up… falling in place like that. That’s why I’m… afraid that I’ll need to move the morning training and do it alone later in the evening. I need to attend my Lady during…

"There we go. Can’t be a whole lot of tears left in there after all that." Gabriel once again wiped what remained of Alice’s previous tears. She still looked at her own hands as if she couldn’t believe what she had seen. She wanted to keep uttering the words, but she was all out of mana so nothing came out. Here eyes naturally slid down as Gabriel wiped her face, the chart placed neatly in front of her. "Waaahh…" The words she already knew, except for the four special ones, were all there,…

"Finished?" Gabriel looked at Alice, whose tears were finally starting to dry up. She’d stuffed the entire pan of food into her mouth, forcing it down even after she looked ready to burst. As a result, her cheeks were bulging slightly and she had made a mess of both her face and the table. "It’s fine to cry when you’re happy, but if you cry too often then people will think that they can just take advantage of you so I recommend doing it in moderation in the future." He picked up a rag from the…

"A cake… Alright, I’ll make you a cake. One for now, and as many as you want in the future. You’ll have to show me the kitchen though." Really, what small desire it was. Just a cake, just someone to celebrate the birthday that had already passed. Once she’d finished crying he would have to talk with her a bit more, it’d be nice if she could find a desire that would last bit longer than just a cake. People needed proper ambition to live long lives, otherwise they’d just end up like him and take…

After leaving the office, he walked through the carpeted hallways on his own, not even the sound of his footsteps following him. He was very familiar with the layout of this mansion due to the episodes focusing on the destruction of this mansion so finding the eastern wing wouldn’t be hard. Along the way, he stopped in front of a statue that stood in the hallway, a marble dragon that stretched out for a bit over ten metres. His gaze trailed along the scales that went just beneath the spikes on its back,…

Gabriel observed the butler that had come to pick him up. Young Lord, it was technically a title that should only be used for the one who would inherit the duke’s title. But Gabriel knew for a fact that the family current didn’t have a designated inheritor, not even Alice’s older sister, the eldest child, had acquired that seat. She also didn’t dare to go by that title, she was too upright for that. So, one of the brothers was calling for him, a petty villain making a petty move. He couldn’t…

"So one of the little kids that came with you has disappeared?" Lawrence’s sword came down upon Gabriel’s leg. It originally aimed for his head, only striking his leg because he did his best to dodge. But this blasted body was so weak and frail that there were times where it just couldn’t respond as quickly as he needed it to. The sword Lawrence used was blunt, but it was still a piece of metal so it was inevitable that a dull pain would shoot up Gabriel’s leg. In turn, that dull pain caused him…

"From now on, come here an hour before dawn. You’ll do physical training for three hours, you’ll get a break after that, but you must return again four hours before the sun sets, then you’ll receive swordsmanship training for a further five hours." Gabriel’s entire body ached as Lawrence spoke. The training session just now had only lasted for a few hours, but it reminded him of his entire stay in boot camp. It seemed as if all teachers who were going to teach you how to kill thought the same…

Gabriel rubbed his head. Goddamn, the old man had a nasty arm on him. Sure, the hit felt gentler than what the bushy-browed knight had done, but he still felt his brain bounce around within his skull. If this world had anything like a drill instructor then it would have to be this man. "Jesus H…" He muttered half a curse as he looked at the wooden sword that was pierced into the ground. It was already a bit dirty from before, only getting worse after it struck him. A few blotches of blood had appeared…
