Ancient Empire Calendar Year 1810
A year has passed quickly since I entered the academy, a lot has happened during this time, I killed my two brothers Ferlas and Karlmen, who are the same age as me, before the throne wars even started in order to take control of the first years.
I trained the first years meticulously for a year, almost every student who passed by me in the hall became strong enough to kill their seniors, of course my brothers did not stay idle during this process, from what I heard, my oldest brothers Seth and Hermes sent assassins to kill each other dozens of times, in the end Seth killed Hermes and took control of the fourth years.
Of course, there are also some of my other siblings who died, Arlous won the power struggle in the third grade and killed his brothers Thermonis and Talonis.
The fight between the second graders Xanros and Jarvin ended with Xanros' victory, if what I heard is true, they couldn't even find Jarvin's body, of course this could just be hearsay.
Soon Seth will be a senior and the War of the Heirs will begin, a bloody war that will not be in the shadows but in full view of everyone
When Ricardo noticed Marilin trying to sneak up behind him with silent steps, he turned around and Marilin suddenly jumped on him, hugged Ricardo and whispered in his ear
"Congratulations Ricardo my sister is getting married"
Ricardo was surprised
"Which sister?"
Marilin pulled back a little, clasped her hands behind her back and said with a sweet expression
"Hmmm where should I start? First Lady Helgeya's daughter Young Lady Kilda Kislavein and Master Fraud Kislavein's great-grandson Terman Kislavein will be married
Then Lady Peny Kislavein, daughter of Concubine Janielle German and grandson of Geovric Kislavein who was killed by the ashbrums will be married
Third in line is the young lady Cierra Kislavein, daughter of the concubine Maressil Gilliberdi, and Wilheim Pleycis, son of Oscar Pleyciys, who was executed by our House Lord Orsman, will be married and then"
Ricardo's head was swollen and he didn't want to listen any longer and interrupted Marilin
"Okay, okay, I understand that more than one of my sisters will be married, I understand, tell me how many weddings there are in total and where did you hear this, even I don't know"
Marilin brought her face closer to Ricardo, a sly smile on her face
"Young Lord Kislavein women are the best at hearing gossip behind closed walls"
Ricardo grabbed Marilin's chin Marilin's heart started beating rapidly as if it was going to jump out of its place Ricardo had a cold expression on his face he wasn't smiling he didn't show any emotion he narrowed his eyes and said in a serious voice
"Oh tell me more about the gossip behind those closed walls"
Marilin froze and could only say "Yes" .
Ricardo had learned everything from Marilin. House Lord Orsman had decided to marry off his 7 daughters who had reached the age of 18, for this reason he had accepted as sons or grandsons of those who had achieved great success or were killed in the Second Great Kislavein–Ashbrum War as sons-in-law, but Ricardo was aware of the real purpose.
"A wedding. Oh, I had attended the weddings of my children and grandchildren in my previous life, but how long had it been since the last wedding.
Since I was born in the Kislavein Dynasty, I have done a lot of research on the history of the Dynasty, the marriages here are made to conquer other Dynasties without fighting, the best example of this is II Arlous, who conquered many more Dynasties through his daughters than he conquered with the sword, the next leaders used the female strategy well and conquered the Western Lands within ten generations from II Arlous, a truly impressive strategy," Ricardo thought.
Marilin took Ricardo's hands and said in a shy voice
"Tell me, my Young Lord, when will our wedding be?"
Ricardo was now on the verge of giving up. He had had enough of Marilin's efforts for years. Ricardo had turned most of the girls he was after off of him, but Marilin stubbornly did not give up.
Ricardo looked at Marilin, his face and posture were filled with seriousness. Even Marilin was aware of this seriousness. Ricardo asked without further ado.
"Marilin, why are you so stubborn when I don't reciprocate your feelings? You're probably the most beautiful girl in this academy, I don't know if you're aware of this, but many men have their eyes on you. If they weren't afraid of me, they'd line up behind you. Tell me, Marilin, what do you see in me? Is it just because I'm the Heir Candidate?" Marilin pulled back a little, the smile and sweetness on her face had disappeared. This was the first time Ricardo had seen Marilin so seriously. Marilin's cheerful and sweet tone was in a serious tone for the first time.
"Why do I try so hard? The reason is both simple and complex. Because I love you. Not because you are the Heir Candidate or anything else. My feelings for you are real, believe it or not, they first emerged at my grandfather's funeral. When you swore revenge, your courage and determination impressed me.
We spent years together, you were very talented in every field, you were magnificent in swordplay, magic, mathematics and many other fields, but most importantly, you were very kind, despite the hierarchy between us, you showed us a lot of respect, every time I saw you, I believed with all my heart that you would be the future Dynasty Lord, I admired and respected you, and over time, this turned into a feeling that I had difficulty pronouncing, I loved you not for your status or power, I truly loved you for who you are"
Ricardo just stood there in the face of what he heard, he didn't know what to say, his heart was starting to tighten, these words that he had never heard before, these feelings that were foreign to him, started to eat him up inside, Marilin broke this insensitivity
"My young lord, even if you don't reciprocate my feelings today, I believe that one day I will be able to reach your heart, I am sure that you will crush me"
Marilin quickly rushed forward, grabbed Ricardo's collar, kissed him on the lips without giving Ricardo a chance to react, Ricardo was shocked with surprise
"What is this girl doing" he thought, he wanted to push her away, but something was stopping him, his body didn't move, he couldn't control his body as if he couldn't control it
Marilin didn't let go of Ricardo for a long time, when she finally pulled back her face was red, she couldn't let go of Ricardo because of her shame
"I finally did it" she sighed, she couldn't stand still with excitement, she turned around and started to run away, but she was jumping and running like a victorious speaker
Ricardo had just gotten over the shock of the moment
"What did this girl do, what did I do, I kissed my own grandson, I just fucked, fucked, fucked"
Ricardo cursed and cursed but the question that bothered him the most was this
"I don't understand why I couldn't move my body, it was like I lost control of my body at that moment"
This question was bothering his mind then it occurred to him to call Giskar, who could know the connection between body and soul better than a soul
"Giskar come here now"
Shadow Spirit Giskar answered the call and appeared He greeted his Master with a look of nausea on his face
"Sir, look, I understand you, even though you don't have a soul, your body is young and virgin, you are interested in young and beautiful girls, etc. so aaaaa why did you do such a thing, isn't she your granddaughter?"
Ricardo went crazy with anger, the emotions he had suppressed exploded in an instant
"As if I don't know that she is my granddaughter, on the other hand, how do you talk to your master, huh, listen Giskar
My body stopped moving for a moment while Marilin was kissing me, why did this happen?"
Giskar examined Ricardo's body from head to toe, used his Spirit Arts and realized something
"Sir, your Spirit Essence is very strange"
Ricardo was surprised
"What do you mean Giskar, speak clearly, don't even think of talking in riddles"
Giskar quickly continued
"Sir, what I'm trying to say is that your Spirit Essence has changed"
Ricardo's curiosity grew even more
"Didn't you tell me that your Spirit Essence hasn't changed, what happened now?"
Giskar felt the presence of some curious eyes, used his Spirit Arts, and transmitted his thoughts directly into Ricardo's mind
"Sir, some curious eyes are watching us, from now on, let's talk telepathically"
Ricardo nodded and agreed. Ricardo walked towards his room. Giskar hid his presence to see who the people watching were and followed the scouts while they continued talking.
"Sir, I said before that I served three people who were reincarnated like you, didn't I?"
Ricardo remembered that moment
"Yes, I remember, I was shocked when I heard it, to be honest"
Giskar continued his words
"These people had some kind of change in their Soul essence, not in their early years, but gradually in their adult years"
Ricardo became very curious when he heard this
"Go on, what kind of change is it similar to mine?"
"Both yes and no, this could probably be a result of the Soul trying to adapt to a body it is not familiar with, of course this is my theory"
Ricardo was not satisfied with this answer
"Are you kidding me, are you a theory, have you never researched, have you never wondered and tried to learn, even though you have lived for a thousand years"
Giskar was both offended and angry at these words
"I am so sorry sir, I have disappointed you despite devoting almost half of my life to learning this and one fifth to serving my masters, I am so sorry"
Giskar was practically fuming, it was obvious that he was angry, Ricardo noticed this and took action to calm the situation
"I am sorry Gislar, I spoke without thinking"
Giskar was pleased with this apology
"No problem sir, you are also a carpet, it is my fault that I have been searching for centuries but I could not find anything about this subject"
Ricardo, who was upset with Giskar's sad state, wanted to comfort him
"Giskar, look"
At that very moment, Giskar shouted loudly "WOW" his voice echoed in Ricardo's head Ricardo held his head with both hands, he had a severe headache because of Giskar's voice, he was clenching his teeth, he was concentrating his meaning in his brain to make the pain go away, when he calmed down he shouted angrily
"WHAT ARE YOU BURTING, YOU DUMB HEAD"
Giskar came back to his senses after Ricardo's shouting
"I'm so sorry sir, I'm so sorry I was shocked when I saw this I couldn't hold myself back"
Ricardo got angry
"What did you see that made you shout so loudly in my head"
Giskar calmed himself down and started explaining
"Sir this is one of your friends, they are embracing a woman and kissing"
Ricardo couldn't hide his surprise when he heard this
"WHAT? Who is with whom and how give me details what's going on there which friend of mine is with who, these idiots are losing their minds outside at this time of night"
"Sir, this idiot friend of yours Jacob, I don't know who the girl is with you"
Ricardo threw his hand at his mother
"Ahh, these idiots, this generation has become so lustful, how can you do such things without getting married, in my time"
Giskar sighed
"Sir, please be serious, your time was worse, if you waved your hand you could come across a bastard, and if my memory serves me right, your second son also had bastard children"
Ricardo got angry, frowned, his veins almost burst with anger
"Know your place Giskar, am I your military buddy?"
Giskar bowed his head and closed his eyes in a respectful tone
"Forgive me sir, what should we do with these?"
Ricardo scratched his chin and thought for a while
"Oh, never mind, let them do what they want, I'm tired enough today, I can't even be a chaperone, let's go"
Giskar teleported to Ricardo, then they went to their rooms and slept
The next day, Ricardo cornered Jacob and interrogated him
"Come on, who was the girl you had with you last night?"
Jacob was quite embarrassed that someone, especially his master, had seen him and his lover, but he didn't try to hide the truth
"A lady named Eleanor Qosta in our next class, my Young Lord"
Ricardo had gotten his answer and when his curiosity was satisfied they went to the classroom when the Class Master Jonas came he would make an announcement
"Young people I have good news the Dynasty Lord IV Orsman will marry off seven of his daughters who are 18 and have become adults next week there will be a wedding every day in short there will be no classes next week you can have lots of fun at the weddings and enjoy your vacation and the wedding
Don't forget you are 15 years old now in three years you will all be adults the wedding you attend today will be your wedding tomorrow"
The class started whispering about this topic among themselves. The teacher silenced everyone to start the lesson and the lessons started. Ricardo and everyone started waiting for the weddings that were going to happen next week.
