While he was sleeping, Evans felt something move, but he decided not to care about it, since he did not feel threatened.
At dawn, Evans tried to get up and could not move easily; He immediately looked for the cause of his discomfort and saw a little girl hugging him; He caressed the girl's shiny black hair, she opened her blue eyes, smiled and hugged him saying:
-Brother.
"I imagined it; but what happened to her in Evans' life? This girl seemed to love him."
-Do you love me? -Evans asked the girl.
-A lot, a lot; You always read books for me. -The girl responded sweetly.
The girl was Aria, Evans' younger sister.
-Then I will protect you all my life. -Evans told her, hugging her warmly.
At that moment, Evans's power fluctuated, as if those forgotten memories wanted to emerge, but in the end nothing did.
The two got up, Evans was walking with his little sister when a maid entered and looked at Evans with contempt.
-Come on! Miss. -Said the maid taking Aria in her arms.
-Brother! -Aria exclaimed.
Evans stroked Aria's hair and said warmly:
-You have to go, you have to change your clothes; then you can come back.
The maid took Aria away, but not before glancing sideways and contemptuously at Evans.
"Mmm, something is happening here; that maid must be from the Duchess's faction," Evans thought as he dressed to begin training in this body for the first time.
Evans' maid brought him a light breakfast, he ate it and then went to a remote part of the garden where there were several trees.
Evans ran with intensity, he was very motivated, almost ten minutes later he was on his knees and breathing heavily.
"This must be a joke, can a young body be so weak? Should I use a little of my power to recover and continue?"
Evans looked around, seeing that no one was there, he used his power to recover, got up and continued training. It was a process of fatigue and recovery.
A few hours after training, Evans returned to his room, he was going to take a bath, his maid came to help him, but he told her:
-I want to be in the bathtub for a while.
Evans was more mentally exhausted than physically; since he had had to control the amount of power he used in order to avoid getting hurt or being detected by others.
"I must learn to use my power with this body; at least until this body can withstand the full pressure of my strength."
While in the bathtub, Evans caused less than one percent of his power to circulate through his body. At first it was painful, because his weak body was not used to the circulation of mana, much less that of an unknown energy.
A week later the murmurs came and went. Throughout the mansion they talked about Evans' actions.
"That bastard, he thinks he will achieve something."
"It's so pathetic."
Since Evans was not paying attention to them, some servants already dared to look at him in a threatening way.
When Evans reached the back of the garden he saw Lizet.
Lizet was the little fallen noble that Evans' brothers had been bullying.
-For you!
Lizet handed him a basket and ran away.
Evans opened the basket, there were three sandwiches and a bottle of juice.
-He is a grateful person, that's good.
A few hours later; Evans got out of the bathtub and found himself in his room with a mannequin of his size wearing an elegant black and dark blue suit.
-What is this? -Evans asked his maid.
-Remember young sir, today is Friday, the day of the week when the family meets for dinner.
"I don't think it's a pleasant encounter, but it's part of the performance."
Evans looked at the suit for a few seconds and then lay down to take a nap.
Evans dressed very carefully, with the help of his maid.
-This looks good; but I prefer light colors. -Evans said.
-Come on young sir, dinner will start soon.
The long table was sumptuously decorated, with a white embroidered cloth mat, silver cutlery on a gold cloth, and everything else was of the highest quality.
"Mmm, if I take a plate of these, I can live peacefully abroad for a month; but if I take over the duchy, I won't have to set limits."
Evans sat down; Shortly afterward his sister arrived accompanied by her maid.
-Brother!
The two hugged and then he said:
-You must sit down, then I will read you a story.
-Yeah. -Aria responded with a tender smile.
Attention!
Duchess Jessica de Qualty!
Evans sees that the maid approaches Aria and says something in her ear, Aria seemed to have gotten nervous for a short period of time, after which she stood up.
"What the fuck was that?"
The maid turned pale when she saw Evans looking at her; Evans stood up and regained his composure, but not before whispering to the maid:
-Silence or you will die.
