Chapter 49: Learn humility
"You expect me… to call you father?" Tetsuya spoke through his teeth, gritting it painfully. The man in front of him was still in his pajamas, but it was more like women were his pyjamas.
Two servants, which were probably maids, were closely struck to his chest while panting heavily with red faces. They were looking blissful and clearly not minding Tetsuya looking at them.
So what he wore was nothing more than shorts.
Henryk was a Romantic Swordsmanship Rune user! He had so many women that no one would be able to count them. This rune was focused on maintaining the connection with the opposite gender and built up power through it.
It was not only related to sex, but people often got drunk with it. Henryk was also like that which was a pity.
"You killed my son." Henryk spoke with a sneer, "He was someone who could use my rune despite his feeble personality. In other words, my son." The master put his two maids to the side.
He did it gently and carefully, then allowed them to relish the pleasure that was still blooming within their minds like flowers.
It was obvious that they couldn't hear them talking.
"I have three other successors that are very satisfying, so if your talent turns out to be weak, then I might just get rid of you." Henryk's words sounded more vile the more he spoke. It seemed like he was fed up with something.
But he strangely found it strangely satisfying to 'bully' Tetsuya.
His presence became thicker and the game master was forced to look down, "Call me father."
Tetsuya nearly spat some blood, but he managed to gulp it down, "Go fuck yourself." He then spit out exactly these words as no one other than his own father was worthy of such title! In this betraying world, only women could become his family! No one else!
Tetsuya covered his mouth then which was already humiliating to him. He also felt his mind shaking and body slowly turning paler from the pressure descending onto him. It was all still within Henryk's control as he played with Tetsuya.
Then, Henryk asked, "What makes you so proud? I don't see any worth within you. Be it your power gathered from the runes or even those runes itself." Henryk's eyes could see a little, but not everything.
It all didn't matter as Tetsuya's own body was lacking in many aspects.
For example, he was weak to not step on the air or fly through it with everyone could do it, no matter what rune.
"Where is this confidence coming from? Don't tell me you have beaten some dog on the street without any problem and then imagined yourself to be some kind of big shot already? Haha! Should I dissect your body?" Henryk's tone made this question feel genuine.
Tetsuya didn't say much, but he just gathered enough strength to shout what he currently felt inside, "I am proud because that's the part of me! If I were not proud, then I wouldn't be myself, you fucking horny dog. Be it a few years or even two, just a little more time and it will be more questioning you like that! I just need resources, because my potential surpasses everyone in this world!"
Henryk inwardly praised Tetsuya for being able to shout like that under his own pressure. He then rested his head on his hand and uttered, "Resources? You gotta work hard for these. But this is not only what you have to work hard on… You lack in so many areas because you keep looking at the world with such eyes. Oh, how many hidden and potential vases have you missed?"
"..."
"Learn humility first, my son." Henryk flicked his fingers, calling the butler in. The first thing he asked for was how many people had seen Tetsuya as 'Yulia Household's Son'.
The butler knelt and answered, "Young Master's Redemption City had seen me bowing before him. Nearly 98% of them believe that the young master was our family member from the beginning. I made sure that no one spreads this information."
Tetsuya wondered what this butler exactly did behind his back, but he had no way of opening his mouth now. He just could listen and learned that some kind of rune was used on everyone including Reyas and Karola.
This rune prohibited them from speaking about Tetsuya's origins and they would only be able to learn about it by either thinking of Yulia Household and Tetsuya at the same time!
"Good… Our 4th young master can not make an appearance now. What would I say to the world? I hid my son for twenty years?" Both Henryk and the butler chuckled.
"I told you to work for the resources, didn't I?" Henryk's voice descended on Tetsuya yet again, "Your current appearance will be sealed along with your strength. From now on, you are nothing more than a servant for at least twenty years."
Tetsuya's eyes shook as he listened to these words. He couldn't believe what he just heard… This fate…
"Hey, I forgot to ask you." Henryk let out a hearty laughter, "What's your name, son?"
"Fucker, I will-"
"Fucker? Unique name indeed. Remember, fucker. You have to learn how to bow and respect others. Even I know how to do these well." Henryk's voice brought some images to Tetsuya's mind.
He could imagine this man bowing before Red Rose Woman very well. It was totally opposite to his own bowing before her as she was his 'goal'. But did it mean that Henryk had no goals of sharing his Romantic Swordsmanship with people such as her?
Of course Tetsuya didn't think of it that much.
He had her as his goal, but she became out of his reach even further now that the family head sealed his strength and runes.
"Tetsuya… Tetsuya… Ya…. Tet-" Ashley tried to speak to him and her voice was also sounding painful! Hearing this, Tetsuya clenched his hand and uttered inwardly, 'You dared to take away my woman from me? My runes and strength… too?' Tetsuya felt like suffocating from the anger.
Was it something he deserved?
"Don't die here, Fucker. You still can use and build your strength with Romantic Swordsmanship Rune, can't you? Of course, I am modifying it too." Henryk passed the sword which was a wooden sword, no more no less! It was the weapon that Tetsuya wouldn't wield normally.
"Your name is Narashi from now on. Have fun! You have a long twenty years to learn to look at the world from a different perspective and take a liking to it." Tetsuya got flung away from Henryk as he used his sheer pressure to send him away.
The game master's blood tainted the reflecting pathway, but it quickly disappeared as if it wasn't here at all. But unlike the blood, Tetsuya's eyes kept shaking with anger and confusion written within.
Like this world? This world will be likeable only after it becomes his game!
Tetsuya had a long road before himself, but it was time for him to blend with people 'equal' to him. The current him who was a servant.
