Chapter 60: Truth or Lies



≤ …. \'Hello.\' ….. ≥ = Dreams (Thoughts)

\'Hello.\' = Thoughts

< …. "Hello." ….. > = Mysterious Voice from the Dream

The First Young Master didn\'t know what to say about what he heard from the person who had the same voice as him when that person asked Ezekiel about the Marchioness\' death.

The person who spoke was none other than Altron himself. Since this is a future event, it\'s no wonder that the Altron in his dreams are a bit older than the current him right now.

\'W-wait….! D-does this mean…. Is this the reason why Ezekiel was put on the trial?! He killed mother?!\'

While the other Altron in his dreams screams anguish when he asked those words from the battered Ezekiel, the [him], who is a spectator of this dream, could only watch for now and waited for the other side of the story.

Because as much as possible he wanted to believe what he was hearing, however, just recalling the words from that mysterious voice came back to him.

Make a better judgement and seek the whole truth.

It seems like the other Altron within his dreams couldn\'t keep a rational mind as he could see the hatred that was shown into his cyan-colored eyes, unlike him who keeps his mind clearer than the future him.

Altron divert his attention from his future self as he looked down at Ezekiel and waited for the other man to explained himself or much rather, to defend himself from those accusations.

\'I don\'t want to believe this, but I need to know the truth! Please, little three! Tell them it\'s not true!\'

Altron prayed for countless times as he kneeled down at Ezekiel as he still waited for an answer but minutes later, all his pleas went for a naught when Altron saw the evil smirk plastered on Ezekiel\'s face as he lift his head and his own cyan-colored eyes looked directly at the future him in front of him.

≤ ….. "How does it feel to lose someone important to you, my dear elder brother? *chuckled* That wretch old woman is at fault?! I admit it! I killed her, so what?! She deserve it! Hahaha!" ….. ≥

\'N-no…. N-no…. P-please don\'t! Ezekiel! This isn\'t you! Please! Retract those statements!\'

The First Young Master didn\'t want to believe the words that came out of Ezekiel\'s mouth as he kept on shaking off his head in denial of everything that he had heard so far.

\'B-but…. N-n-no! This is a mistake! I-I….\'

≤ …. \'Who would believe me if I told them the truth? Aside from the fact that old hag of a Marchioness killed my mother and as for the sexual assault that I have suffered since I was young? Tsk! They would think that I\'m insane if I told them that! Tsk!\' ….. ≥

His train of thoughts had stopped when he heard the familiar voice, or much rather, thoughts coming from Ezekiel as he once again looked at his younger brother with a flabbergasted expression upon learning the truth from him.

\'The Marchioness killed Lady Aryna? Ezekiel\'s biological mother?\'

He snapped once again as he heard Ezekiel\'s thoughts continued and Altron is the only one who can read those thoughts since this is his dream.

≤ …. \'I\'ll admit that I killed her for the sake of revenge for myself and for my mother! Though not directly since I couldn\'t do that to myself, and I am just nothing but a feeble half-noble who couldn\'t manifest the family\'s bloodline powers! However, I won\'t admit those false accusations that they pinned into my head just because of this matter!\' ... ≥

\'False accusations? He was framed?\'

< ….. "Thank the Heavens! Your rational mind is still intact! Well, since you haven\'t met [that woman] yet unlike your counterpart here who lose his composure and marbles in this scenario! Tsk!" ….. >

Altron gasped when he heard that mysterious voice once again as he immediately looked around to search for that person who kept on talking but never appeared in front of him.

"Just where and who are you, anyway? You just keep on blabbering from left and right without proper explanation of everything that\'s happening here?!"

As he questioned that mysterious voice, once more, those voices didn\'t respond to him which frustrates him even more.

\'Geez! Just who is this person who keeps on talking and never appeared in front of me? His voice sounds familiar but at the same time, unfamiliar though. Argh! It feels like my head\'s going to burst because of this series of information that I don\'t know how to organize everything from here!\'

From the dreams that Altron had witnessed, it seems like he needs to do something on his part since this involves his family, especially, the Marchioness\' so-called murder case, Lady Aryna\'s mysterious death and Ezekiel\'s future false treason.

He snapped once more when he heard a light chuckle coming from the person in front of the adult Ezekiel, which is the future Altron himself.

≤ ….. "You\'re really quite bold for a half-noble that our family had, aren\'t you? You know what, it\'s great that you never had a striking resemblance to our dear father nor any of us siblings and only those eyes of yours that you had. It\'s a shame that no matter what you do, you\'ll never get the acknowledgement from us, neither father nor the other siblings as well as the people around you! You are nothing but a vile villain that ruin someone\'s life!" ….. ≥

From Altron\'s perspective, he saw how the adult Ezekiel\'s smirking face crumble at the mention of those statements like a fire arrow hit when it hurts and the First Young Master saw rage and despair as he shouted.

≤ ….. "YOUR JUST LUCKY TO BE BORN AS THE LEGITIMATE CHILD OF THAT HELL HOUSEHOLD YOU GUYS SO PROUD OFF! YOU DON\'T KNOW WHAT IT FEELS TO BE IN MY POSITION SO F*CK OFF! CHEVALIER\'S HOUSEHOLD OF WAR HEROES?! HA! DON\'T MAKE ME LAUGH! YOU GUYS ARE NOTHING BUT A BUNCH OF HYPOCRITES WHOSE RIDING ON COATTAILS AT YOUR ANCESTOR\'S LEGACY—!" ….. ≥

*SLAP!

\'This f*cking b*stard—?!\'

Before he could react to the actions that his future self-did, a sudden thought came through him.

≤ ….. \'Why did I say those words?! Those are not my words! Also, what\'s happening to me?\' ….. ≥

\'What? Is this…. My future self\'s thoughts?\'

Before he could comprehend those scenarios, the scene suddenly vanished and it went back into a pitch-black surface from before.

< ….. "See? Now, make a judgement for yourself and analyze the truth… Altron Zerux Chevalier." …. >

For the hundred times that he keeps on hearing those voices, he sighed; "Can\'t you just tell me now? Because if you know, I only have one brain and that information are still a shock to me that I don\'t know how to handle it properly. Since you seem like a know-it-all entity then, why not summary everything to me then?"

He knows he\'s being sarcastic right now but who couldn\'t blame him though? After some unknown entity that suddenly barged into his dreams and for showing those future scenarios that he didn\'t know if he could trust it or not.

After some minutes had passed since he speak of, Altron was on the verge of giving up when suddenly….

....

....

...….

"C-can you…. P-please…. Reduce the number of the knights…. And the s-servants who would accompany me? I-I…. don\'t want to drag some attention to myself…."

Altron snapped from reminiscing those prophetic dreams that he had when he heard Ezekiel\'s teen mumbled voice that makes him turned around from the knights and the servants that he oversee how they work and even ordered them everything for his younger brother\'s departure for the academy.

Actually, he should be travelling together with Ezekiel since he is one of the instructors for the Knight Division under the class of Military and Strategic Theories that he handled but as of right now, the Marquis, his father, was not present at the moment and there are still unfinished documents that needs to be reviewed before he could go at the academy.

\'Just where the heck is that father of ours and just vanished like a puff of smoke without a trace?\'

Sometimes, he didn\'t know if he was the temporary head or the official Patriarch of this household since the current Marquis seems like love to run off from some places that even those trusted subordinates of his didn\'t know his whereabouts.

\'Sometimes I feel like our father is just a silent eccentric person underneath that cold-blooded façade of his. Haist!\'

Felicity, on the other hand, is one of the seniors in the academy and from what he knew was that this year she will graduate from the academy and after that, she would receive a training from the household for swordsmanship and her re-education for political, social and economic studies.

As for Harrison, since he became a Count, he had a land and people that he needs to take care of, and besides he\'s already graduated from the academy and from what Altron heard from him was that he will also serve as a temporary instructor for the Combat class since the instructor for that class had run into some problems.
