In the dining room, Ethan was sitting on the giant throne of the family head with a large dining table in front of him and no one beside him but only Dahlia at the other end of the table.
The table was really beautiful and many beautiful designs were carved in it but the thing which was most noticeable in it was the food on it!
There were many foods with an equal amount of veg and an equal amount of nonveg which is very weird since the kingdom is said to be very poor.
But Ethan did not care about it and started to eat the food with manners while Dahlia was just staring at him with widened surprised eyes.
Dahlia was not the only surprised one there though. Maids who served him were also surprised because Ethan was a man who eats like a bull. It was more actually quite weird since despite the fact how much he eats he doesn't get much fat but stays thin.
"Is something bothering you, my lady?"
Ethan asked, getting a little annoyed by the countless eyes on him but he did not want to scold the maids just yet.
She looked around trying to see who he called “my lady” but then she understood he was talking to her.
"H-Huh? Y-yes… everything is good, my lord."
She said awkwardly feeling embarrassed while Ethan raised his eyebrow in curiosity thinking just how he used to treat her.
"How was I to you? I mean as a lover and fiance."
Hearing that question she could not help but look down on the table with a smile, a smile showing how painful memories she had with him.
"You… never once called me politely like this, you always ignore me, and even while your f-friends try to molest me you don't care… a-and you once slapped me when I tried to stop them…"
She sniffed softly as her eyes started to get teary but just the next moment she wipes her tears and looked back at him with a kind smile.
"But I think you have changed now and I truly love you so don't worry about it, my lord."
He pities her hearing how the previous Ethan used to treat her and how she still loves her. To be honest, in his eyes, she was like a saint right now.
"I am sorry for what I had you go through before… I am really sorry."
Hearing the apology from him, everyone in the room could not help but chat since a king saying sorry is something very uncommon in this world but Dahlia… Dahlia smiled brightly as a tear of happiness fell from her eyes.
"Please treat me well then, my lord!"
Looking at her reaction it was almost as she was waiting to hear these words from Ethan for a very long time.
He let out a small snicker and then continued to eat with manners again and this time Dahlia joined her in eating happily.
"My lord ethan~!!"
A loud voice came from the entrance gate of the dining room which everyone except for Ethan seems to know. Hearing that voice Dahlia's happy face turned into a dull face and all the maids looked down on the ground because the voice belonged to Ethan's friend Logan Busch.
You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.
The new person who entered the room had a big smile on his face which clearly did not look nice with a weird-shaped face, his dull skin, brown eyes which almost looked like the pop color, and messed up long brown hair full of dandruff.
Ethan could easily see and get the grip of the situation by the sudden change of atmosphere and the way Dahlia's happy face not only turned into a dull face but the way she was shaking in fear.
'The way he called me… And the way everyone is reacting he is the friend she was talking about, huh?'
A small devilish grin appeared on his face after he was done thinking of a plan to deal with this bastard once and forever.
"Hello," He looked up at the nearly entered man with a smile to hide his devilish side "What are you doing here?"
Seeing even after losing his memory how nice Ethan was to this man, made her chest tight feeling he would let him do whatever he wants to her.
"My lord I am here to eat breakfast with you like always of course~"
He glances at Dahlia with eyes full of lust and slowly approaches her to put her hand on her back and feel her back like always.
She closed her eyes as she notices him approaching him while still shaking a little and putting her tongue under her teeth to endure the pain and humiliation of getting touched by some like him but… even after waiting for a few seconds she did not feel his hand but she still did dare to open her eyes until she hears a scream filled with pain.
When she opened her eyes she felt blood on her dress so she quickly looked behind and what she saw left her speechless.
Logan's fingers were cut by the knife Ethan threw at him. Logan grabbed his hand and got on his knees feeling immense pain and then looked at Ethan with a furious look.
"What is the meaning of this!?"
He yelled at Ethan ignoring the fact he is the king of the kingdom due to the immense pain he was feeling just now.
"Huh? Do you dare to talk to me like this?"
Ethan gave him a cold look and slowly stood up and then walked towards him to take a clear look at him.
"You are uglier when I see you closer… almost making me throw up."
His cold and sarcastic words made everyone there let out a small laugh because they were caught off guard and that's exactly the thought of everyone in the room.
"M-my lord I am sorry! But please call the royal doctor or I will die of blood loss!"
He begged Ethan to treat him but all he did was give him a cold glare and then a sudden kick on the face.
"You dare to raise your voice at me, Ethan, the king of Avary?"
After saying that he grabbed Dahlia's hand and pulled her towards him and then walked towards the gate to leave the dining room but first he stepped on Logan's legs and even made her step on his legs.
This humiliation he felt right now made him lose his sanity and common sense. He got up and aimed his wand towards Ethan.
"You bastard! Die!"
Hearing those words Ethan turned around and looked at him still without any change in his cold expression while Dahlia was freaking out because he was a 3rd magic circle mage!
He started to chant something and a green-colored magic circle appeared in front of his wand meaning he was performing wind magic.
Ethan was weirdly calm even while Dahlia tried to drag him away from him he stood there like a statue.
'Hmph. How could a mere 3 circle mage hurt me? I am the legendary magician who has reached the absolute level of magic in the 12th circle! To hurt me you should at least be a 10th circle mage.'
That's what his thought was until he realized this was his fourth life and he was a mage at the first life.
'Fuck. I messed up.'
