I washed my face,and headed towards the dining hall. I wore a formal attire paired with a not too flashy pocket watch which the boy was seen wearing constantly in his memories. While thinking what to do about etiquette , I paused and realized that I could just ask the system. "System is there a book about noble etiquette which I can access?" *Ding " host enquires are not possible due to not unlocking the shop but you can access the other part of the boys memories."
"System I thought I already received the memories , what do you mean about the other part ." *Ding ""the answer to the host questions is that previously you were to mentally weak to receive some memories so the system separated some of them, memories that were separated are categorzied as painful memories for these include the feelings and senses of the user. The memories you received consisted of non violence. Will the host wish to extract the etiquette lessons?[Y/N]
I was slightly nervous but comforted myself thinking that atost it will be a little beating like they do in commoner schools. Hell I was wrong, I felt pain , immense pain the teacher , I absolutely despise him now it was Ryan. I wanted to cuss him so much, he was using a godam whip, where were my parents. This keeps getting worse and worse. As I was "punished" I was absorbing the lesson and not surprisingly I managed to use it self consciously at a fast paced for this kid was seriously beaten to a pulp. I wonder how he even ensured those 5 years. I thought commoners had it rough but this is on another level.After seeing it a lot of repeat lessons I found a skip button, thank the almighty deity,I pressed skip immediately and regained my consiues in the real world.
I then quickly walked towards the doors of the dining hall, seems like it worked apparently when I wanted to run my knees gave in. The moment I walked in a intense glare was found on my consiues . My father the patriarch is one of the 4 transcendence ranked in the human kingdom. They are called the 4 pillars of humanity. The first pillar is the Primus clan, the second is the Ravenstel clan , the third is the Idol clan , the fourth is the Morris clan. The four could be considered as the genius mage,the genius knight,the jack of all trades,the humanities scholar. In history it says there were 4 pillars but some legends rumours that originally there were 5 only that the fifth decided to leave and ascend to a upper realm. Rumours like these were gaining hot topic in the newspapers since 10 years ago there was a captured monster with a torn wing claiming to be from the upper realm. The emperor since then had tried silencing these claims to uphold stability only to realize that his actions were to do the opposite. In the end the emperor defended himself by driving public opinion towards the threat of demonic propaganda. Well anyways,my father was a descendant of one of the four pillars and even managed to reach the transcendence rank. I subconsciously kneeled before him."I greet the patriarch of the Ravenstel family" I decided to play it safe as in the memories we were not on the best terms due to my constant fear of training(due toinstructor Ryan) I remained a weak boy prompting my father's displeasure. "What makes you think of addressing me as the patriarch instead of father?" He was basically screaming test in my heart. Luckily me being experienced gathered a neutral excuse "I believe that on the terms we are now it will be more respectable to address you as such. And based on previous meetings after finding me a disgrace you would barely even talk to me even so done with me so I concluded that this must be a formal meetings with the patriarch instead of a father." "If you were so smart to figure that out, What's with you harassing maid sylphie and instructor Ryan?
Are you thinking that being the son of the patriarch grants you free reign to harass and disrupt the order of affairs currently going on in this estate? Further more you dare to show no remorse nor shame. Even your mother who was innocent is now being laughed at by her friends who heard the rumours about your spoiled behaviour."
"Explain to me why you should have the right to carry my legacy, why it should be you to be next leader of the Ravenstel clan?
He was furious I can tell but I have to at least try to defend myself. I believe that he would value courage and honesty and would investigate and find evidence before reaching a verdict. Based on memories he is a fair man so I decided to gamble." I Alexander Julius Ravenstel heir to become the next patriarch respond to the patriach questions, the reason of why I have no shame,guilt? The reason is because there is no existent action I have done to feel shame or guilt of something I didn't do. The reason why I must carry your legacy is because not only am I your blood but I will rise to the peak and climb to the skies."I boldly stated. After a while a voice calmer but still wary exactly like a wolf in sheep clothings spoke"you use your right of birth and Ravenstel families name , will you beat the consequences?"he asked, without hesitation I replied"I will not as your son but as Alexander Julius Ravenstel" He then nodded , seemingly satisfied with my answer replied" then prove your innocence" I stood up and replied " I wish to call upon maid Sophie, the victim of instructor Ryan's sexual harrasments, the corrupted maid sylphie who after being bribed by instructor Ryan dared to spread false accusations and rumours tarnishing not only my name but yours. Sylphies biggest mistake was including the Ravenstel name in the rumours, I thought assuming my father cared about the families reputation if the rumours proved to be a false accusations she will not be able to escape punishment. My father's response was happiness in my ears. " If proven guilty they shall be executed but if you truly are guilty I shall try you not as a son but as Alexander Julius Ravenstel" he coldly replied. " Bring me maid Sophie " he ordered the butler standing on standby in the corner. The butler bowed and left a short while later he returned. "Maid Sophie I come to a piece of information regarding you and instructor Ryan do you wish to clarify?" Maid Sophie looked starstruck, she turned pale instantly at the name of instructor Ryan. "I didddnnt do nothing. He forced himself upon me. Please don't fire me. I don't know what he told you but I'm innocent, he tried to" " enough Arthur honey can't you see she's frightened, come dear let's go have some tea. I'll excuse ourselves for the time being."The patriach nodded and they left, after a eerie silence the patriach rose from his chair and gave me a quick nod and left. I exhaled deeply, dam that was stressful. Luckily I had the memories of the boy, at that time the boy probably didn't understand anything,but since I'm technically a 80 year old in a 5 year old body I could comprehend the last piece of the puzzle and clear my name. I went back to my room in anticipation of my quest completion.
