The Regressor Is The Villain

It's been more than a week since I had a regression. After finding out that this was reality, I started to do a lot of planning spending 3 whole days in the room.

Maybe not showing up except during meals must have worried the maids and butlers. I decided to go out today to see father.

I have to explain why I suddenly canceled the engagement and I also need to confirm a few things.

I looked at the date, today is the 23rd. I should be around 12 years old now. It means there are a few days left before I have a bloodline awakening.

Although I don't remember the exact date but I'm sure I awakened after I got engaged to Vise.

Bloodline awakening is a special condition of the Wolfled family, a condition where an individual gains incredible power but in return will accept deadly effects.

"If the awakening and the side effects are the same, then I should gain amazing regeneration power."

The reason I got the nickname 'The Immortal' was not just because of my tenacity to live but because of my body's regeneration power.

But the side effects were too horrible, a condition where the body became weaker and drained my life force. Thanks to this side effect I had trouble improving my physique.

(For now, I'm going to see father.)

I picked up and rang a bell, after waiting a few seconds an old man appeared.

He was Sebas. The Wolfled family's butler and father's right-hand man.

"What is the matter, young master?"

"Can you tell father to give me some time to talk to me about my engagement?"

"...!"

Sebas' pupils looked surprised at my words. Why was he so surprised?

"Sebas?"

"Ah, I'm sorry. Well, I'll tell the master right away."

After that I had a little chat with Sebas about what was happening in the world right now. Perhaps because it's been a few dozen years, I've forgotten a bit about what's going on in this world.

After refreshing my memory, I returned to rewriting about my plans for the future.

...

A knock sounded from behind the door of the Wolfled family's head room.

"Come in."

After Aamon's words, Sebab appeared from behind the door and bowed his head to Aamon and Aamon's wife, Chorona Wolfled who was also helping Aamon with the desk work.

"Sebas huh?"

After glancing at Sebas, Aamon continued his work, Sebas knew Aamon was asking him to speak quickly.

" Master, I came here on the orders of the young master."

"Zend? Speak."

"Yes. The young master said he would discuss his decision to break off the engagement directly with you. The young master would like to request your free time."

Instantly silence fell in the room. Aamon and Chorona looked at each other with surprised eyes.

As Zend's parents, they knew their son's nature very well. And now their only son was doing the exact opposite of what he had always done.

Everyone in the Wolfled house knew very well that Zend was a child who feared Aamon, his father. Thanks to Aamon's strict discipline, Zend was afraid of him and always stayed away from Aamon.

But now Zend himself decided to look directly at Aamon.

"What happened?"

Chorona as Zend's mother asked Sebas but Sebas could only shake his head.

"It seems that something happened during the meeting with the young lady of the Blouses family."

Aamon concluded as he continued to work on the document in front of him.

"Tell Zend to come whenever he is ready."

"Understood."

After that, Sebas left Aamon and Chorona.

"Looks like Zend decided to change."

"Yes, but I'm a little worried about him."

"Is it because the day of his awakening is approaching?"

"Yes, but I feel like something has happened to our son. I feel like he will go far away."

Seeing Chorona's worry, Aamon grabbed Chorona's hand.

"' Take it easy, we'll always be by his side. Didn't we make a pact when Zend was born?"

"Yes, no matter what happens in the future. Even if death separates us and our children, we will always be with them."

The two stared at each other for a while before returning to their work again.

(The day of Zend's awakening is approaching. Hopefully he won't have any bad side effects.)

...

I'm currently getting ready to dress up as neatly as possible. After getting the news from Sebas, I immediately got ready to meet father.

I stood in front of the mirror looking at my own appearance. A boy with black hair and piercing red eyes like father but a face that was closer to mother's.

"After losing my sense of sight in exchange for a contract with the sin weapon of anger, I had forgotten what I looked like back then but when I look now... I look handsome?"

I was handsome when I lived in the modern world but I didn't think I was more handsome in this world. Maybe if I return to the modern world, I can work as an actress.

Looks like it's time for me to go see father.

After finishing admiring my own good looks, I quickly walked out of my room.

The maids and butlers around were surprised by my appearance.

Well, it's only natural since I didn't leave the room after my encounter with bitc-ahem, Vise.

"You."

I pointed at one of the butlers, the butler looked surprised and immediately rushed over to me.

Why does he look scared? Did I want to do something?

"Show me the way to father's office."

"Eh?"

The butler looked surprised but I was also a little surprised too at first. After all, I myself had even forgotten the layout of my own house.

"Don't stay still, quickly show me the way."

"B-well!"

The butler started to show me the direction to father's study. On the way, I looked around the house, the more I looked the more unfamiliar I felt.

(Huh? Why do I feel strange about my own house?)

I became more and more confused, if I'm writing a novel based on my life story, why would I forget things like...this...

Wait, didn't I never write Zend's character clearly? Huh? Why do I feel like I'm forgetting something?

While engulfed in endless confusion, I arrived in front of father's study without finding the answer to my confusion.

"Good job. You may leave."

After the butler left, I faced the door.

The person behind the door was my father. I didn't have good memories of my father, I always thought that he never loved me and that feeling grew even stronger after the birth of my little sister.

But in the end I found out that it was just my misunderstanding. Father loved us both sincerely and still supported me even though I had become a useless noble...

In the end, I was never able to apologize to Father for all the trouble I had caused.

I patted my cheeks to give myself a little courage.

I then knocked on the door.

Feeling the warmth of my mother's embrace made me feel very nostalgic. Immediately, I hugged my mother back.

"...!"

Mom looked confused by my reply to her hug, perhaps she didn't think that there would be a day when I would hug her back.

After all for as long as I've been alive, I've never once returned mom's hug properly in fact I often avoided mom's hugs because it was embarrassing but right now there are no such childish emotions anymore.

"What's wrong my son? You're not avoiding your mom's hug like usual?"

I didn't answer and just hugged mom tighter to remind myself that I had really been given a second chance.

After a few awkward minutes, dad couldn't hold back any longer and began to speak.

"Ahem, Zend."

Hearing dad's voice, I immediately released my hug from mom, mom looked a little disappointed but mom also returned to professional mode.

I immediately bowed my head in front of dad, although I'm dad's son but right now the relationship between me and dad is a professional relationship.

Seeing me bow my head, mom and dad looked surprised. It's only natural, because when I was this age I really didn't know the manners of a nobleman and I was even very naughty back then.

(Ah, was the previous maid actually afraid of me?)

Instantly I recalled my memories of when I was very naughty, no, not naughty but evil and I didn't even hesitate to kill someone back then just to satisfy Vise's wants.

(Haa... How stupid I was back then. But why did I forget that?)

I felt very strange for forgetting such important memories but I couldn't continue my thoughts because I had a meeting with father at this time.

"I, Zend Wolfled am facing the head of the Wolfled family."

"...Yes, I accept your greetings. Stand up."

"Yes."

After standing up, I finally faced the face of the head of the Wolfled family, Aamon Wolfled. A face that looked scary to children but had a sturdy and kind heart.

"Zend, I heard you wanted to talk about your engagement. Explain the reason why you suddenly broke off the engagement one-sidedly?"

Dad's tone of voice sounded very threatening like he was angry. Hearing dad's tone of voice, mom tried to speak in place of dad so that I wouldn't get scared but before that I just smiled and giggled a little.

"Pfft"

""???""

Both of them were immediately confused by my laughter, after all there wasn't anything funny at the moment for both of them but for me this was so much fun it made me laugh.

Dad's tone of voice may sound very scary but I know what he's thinking right now.

He's just worried about me, after all I must have seemed very obsessed with Vise back then but to suddenly break off the engagement one-sidedly makes him worried. Father's face and heart are really mismatched, how could I not laugh at him.

[You Managed to Fully Understand Aamon Wolfled. Aamon's Interaction Points increased by 30%]

Suddenly a display board appeared in front of me.

(Interaction Points?)

[Interaction Points are a system that can measure how much you understand someone.]

As if the system knew what I was thinking, it immediately gave an explanation about interaction points.

(Is that so? Is it similar to a simulator game, interesting.)

"Is something funny?"

Dad's angry-sounding voice called me back to reality. This time dad really looked angry, even so I didn't feel any fear.

"Nothing dad, I just slightly remembered what happened during my meeting with Miss Vise."

"???"

Dad looked even more confused.

I coughed and then began to return to the previous conversation.

"As you know. I broke off the engagement with Miss Vise one-sidedly, which is why father and mother must be troubled by the trouble I've caused. For that I apologize and I will accept any punishment."

I then lowered my head again with a voice full of regret.

Father and mother looked at each other with confusion, mother replaced father to speak.

"Raise your head my son, you don't have to worry about it. If you really don't want to get engaged to young miss vise, we don't mind. But can you at least tell us why?"

(As I expected, the conversation is going in this direction. From here on I must not make any mistakes in speaking.)

I took a deep breath and answered mom's question.

"Mother, I'm learning of the plan that father and mother are planning for the future of the Wolfled territory."
