As the Duke, Marquis, and Marchioness arrived the ceremony immediately started.
An opening speech was given by the chancellor.
"Esteemed courtiers, loyal subjects, and honored guests, today marks a momentous occasion in the annals of our empire. As we gather in the embrace of tradition and the sanctity of transition, we bear witness to the passage of a noble house's title from one revered hand to another..."
Eugene keeps his sight straight.
He is staring at his father, Arkiton.
It didn't take long for him to receive a message through telepathy.
"Son. Can we at least talk to you for the last time?"
Eugene heard the desperation in his father's tone and couldn't help but feel incredible how his father, after everything still had the audacity to call him son when he had never been called like that for many years. He couldn't even feel angry, he just had enough of everything.
"Don't call me your son. I've never had a father like you."
Arkiton's expression twisted in pain upon hearing his son's response. Nonetheless, he continued, "I understand if you can't accept me. You're entitled to hate me, but can you spare Aison from your hatred? I manipulated your father; it's my fault for selfishly doing nothing. I just wanted to say everything so that you'd always remember your right to resent me."
Eugene's eyes turn sharp.
"I'll meet you, but I'll never comply with any of your requests."
He wanted to know what more his father had to say. It saves him time to know his birth in the mouth of the man who made his existence. After all, he can't enter the Fatum Realm to read his book of records as he can feel heaven's presence. It might not take long for those gods to detect them in this world.
So exhausting.
Just when will his life be at peace? So many problems.
He feels so tired of dealing with everything but he can't just ignore the safety of those people who are important to him.
He wanted an end.
"Arkiton Rioel Del Viltaria, Aison Rienzo Shradinza, and his excellency, Grand Duke Katnier Resvielle De la Vallier Karsten, please proceed forward and read the oath of ascension."
"The heirs, please pay your respect."
Kaizer, Casimin, and Euric stepped forward into the weighty atmosphere, their expressions composed as they positioned themselves before their parents, bowing their heads and genuflecting.
Observing Kaizer's back, Eugene found it somewhat unbelievable that Kaizer had never lived his entire lifetime in Artha. Now, as Kaizer decided to embrace his identity and pursue him, the images of Kaizer and Khalil, who had in the past used Kaizer's body, began to merge. Eugene couldn't help but feel a sense of complexity and entanglement in his emotions.
The way Khalil in Kaizer's identity knelt in the same position...
Eugene purses his lips.
All along, he was dealing with Khalil.
And in those lifetimes, it was Khalil who was his enemy.
Eugene had no idea about novels and Chantall, who was familiar with them, couldn't recall many details. However, she who is in the church to observe Eullian already found out that Kaizer has a little brother which is not mentioned in the book.
Chantall is in dilemma wondering what's currently happening in this timeline that makes it seem harder for her to make a clearance.
The male lead is secretly in love with the villain.
