3 – {The Regrets of the Duke of Artin}

{ The Regrets of the Duke of Artin}

Duke Artyn of the Britannian Empire.

As one of the three major dukes in the Britannian Empire, this place was originally a place where wealth, honor, and power were concentrated.

In addition, this place, which is said to have given birth to a hero with special powers to prevent the end of the world, the so-called [Chosen One], Was originally a place that should be respected by many people.

But now, the Duke of Artin had a dark atmosphere.

It wasn’t like that recently, but from a long time ago, the Duke of Artin had been engulfed in a dark atmosphere.

“Ah, ah…Theodore…”

A woman was looking for someone desperately like a mad person.

The long blue-blonde hair, the beautiful body that can be seen even from the top of the dress, and the beautiful face with a somewhat sad atmosphere make her look like she is only in her early 30s even though she is already in her early 40s. At this level, she still exuded charm that would shake the hearts of many men.

But no men would dare to think of her like that.

Because her status was the Duchess of the Duke of Artin.

“Huh, Theodore…I’m sorry mom…Please…”

However, she passed the time endlessly, shedding tears as she called out Theodore’s name.

It has already been 11 years since her son, Theodore, disappeared.

What saddened her even more was that she didn’t even know exactly when he disappeared from her 11 year old days.

The margin of error increased from at least three weeks to more than a month, and nobody in her mansion, let alone she, remembered the date he disappeared.

The reason was simple.

To that extent, she and all of her Artin duchy had no interest in her son, Theodore.

June 15, 21 years ago.

On that day, she gave birth to two twins.

And since there was a prophecy that the chosen one would be born a hero who would save the world from the end, not just anyone else, the whole world paid attention to the twins born to the Duke of Artin.

“The boys born this time are twins?”

“It would have been easier to tell them apart if one of them was a girl.”

“Is that so? Which of the two is the chosen one? I don’t know who will be the hero who will save the world.”

“Didn’t the prophecy say you’d have special powers that no one in the world would have? You’d be the one with those abilities.”

Theodore and William.

With the birth of two twin brothers, people were interested in who would be the chosen one.

And when William was two years old, he showed off a power called telekinesis, the power to manipulate objects without touching them.

“My God.”

“It’s not magic, it’s just the power to manipulate objects?”

“This is a miracle!”

People went crazy for this ability that William had, and he was very enthusiastic about William, who showed him a special ability since he was a baby.

Everyone thought he was the chosen one, and Duke Artin was no different.

“William, you are our pride!”

Duke Artin, Elliott, was proud of William, the glory of the family, and gave him all his affection, designating William as his successor even though his twin brother Theodore had a higher right of succession.

And in that situation, Ceres, the Duchess of Artin, also shared the actions of her husband Elliott, favoring only William.

“William, my mother loves you the most in the world.”

While favoring only William, Theodore’s existence was naturally forgotten.

Even the servants and maids working for the Duke of Artin naturally ignored him and treated him as someone who didn’t exist.

As absurd as it is now that I think about it, she had never shown affection for Theodore. No, she never even considered his existence as important in the first place.

When William did a little bit well, he praised him unconditionally and showed excessive favoritism, and there were many times when he ignored him even though he recognized that he was lying.

But Theodore didn’t praise me no matter how hard I tried, and I didn’t even know what he was eating.

I found out later that the servants and maids hadn’t fed him properly, and his room hadn’t been cleaned properly, so he had to clean it himself.

The reason I didn’t know that he had disappeared was very simple.

The servants and maids didn’t even bring food, and he always went into the kitchen and made his own meals with the leftovers, or filled his stomach with the leftovers from the family of the Duke of Artin.

The servants and maids didn’t do anything to Theodore, whom the Duke and Duchess Artin ignored, and they didn’t even know that he had disappeared.

“Ha ha.”

Thinking of that time, Ceres sighed. I don’t remember really doing anything with Theodore.

Even when her family went out for a walk together, she only took William and never Theodore.

They weren’t interested in why Theodore wasn’t with them.

The only thing she was proud of was William, and it was only natural for her to focus her love on him, the hero who would save the world.

From noble mtl dot com

No, not only she, but everyone in the Duke of Artin thought that way.

The glory of the [Chosen One] Who would save the world to such an extent blinded them.

‘Is there any news?’

To find out Theodore’s location, Duke Artin searched the entire Britannia Empire.

However, it was extremely difficult to determine Theodore’s appearance when he was unknown exactly when he disappeared.

Many people had black hair and blue eyes, and I couldn’t tell what kind of clothes Theodore usually wore.

The appearance must have been right for a 10-year-old at the time, but the problem was that the Duchess Artin and the Duchess couldn’t remember the exact appearance.

Seres, realizing this belatedly, was startled.

He couldn’t quite remember what his son looked like, and he felt goosebumps at the fact that he hadn’t even taken a picture of them with him except when he was a baby.

‘How could he not remember his son’s appearance properly?’

He couldn’t understand what he was in the past, even if he thought about himself now.

It’s like Elliott, who spent three years searching for his son and focused only on the search, using the power of the duchy. In the end, he thought that Theodore was dead, but he still turned some of his energy to the search, but started to focus on work again.

And in the eyes of the Duke and Duchess of Artin, who came to their senses, they slowly began to see how William, the heir to the Duke of Artin, behaved.

“Oh, Mom.”

The door opened and William came in with wobbly steps.

“…What else is going on?”

Ceres asked in a weary voice as he turned to his son, who suddenly came to his room.

“Raina got into trouble for being arrogant, so it’s a mess. She’s fighting against me, the [Chosen One], Isn’t it too much for a hero who will save the world’s fate? I don’t want to hear her cry, but I’m dying of annoyance. “

Raina was the youngest sister to William and the missing Theodore.

She, who turns 14 this year, was only 3 years old when Theodore disappeared, and after Theodore disappeared, the Duke and Duchess Artin and his wife, feeling their fault, did not favor only William, but gave Raina their affection as equally as possible. It started.

But the problem was that William had already grown into an uncontrollable madman.

It is basic that even at the academy, there are already rumors of infidelity with numerous female students, and anyone who disobeys him by abusing his reputation as a [Chosen one] Has been driven into a conspiracy to destroy the world, and if he does not save the world, he will all die. His attitude of acting carelessly, such as telling him not to go against his feelings, earned many people’s resentment.

However, no one could blame him because his background as the Duke of Artin and his reputation as the [Chosen One] Stood proudly behind him.

“What did you… do to Reina?”

“Oh, Mom. What am I supposed to do? I just fed her some chestnuts. What the fuck am I? Beat her little sister?”

Ceres felt a headache come from the way he spoke in a playful manner.

She was seeing the consequences of her wrong discipline right in front of her eyes.

As a result of growing up while knowing that William was lying, he was brought up with a sense of his reputation as a [Chosen One] From a young age, and as a result, he has already become a madman that even the Duke and Duchess Artin and his wife can’t control.
