From the garden that was behind the mansion could be heard the laughter of multiple people.
It was a new scene to the eyes of servants that were fairly new and nostalgic to those who were working under lord Theodore for more than 30 years.
Amidst the garden full of flowers stood a pure white gazebo. In that gazebo were now three people having a tea party.
The tea party was more known to be a typical gathering for noble wives where they could gossip about new trends and spicy news about relationships and handsome men. But it was also a pleasant event for family and friends that enjoyed staying together.
Older man..young woman and a boy that looked no older than 12. One could mistake them for a family if they ignored their appearance. After all the old man was bald and short while the young woman was tall and beautiful, not talking about a boy that looked like the embodiment of beauty.
"Lord Theodore are you sure it's alright for you to be with us when there are so many preparations left?" asked a young woman with a worried voice
"Don´t worry about that, most of the preparations are complete, let's just eat and enjoy ourselves before the banquet haha" the Old man replied
From their interaction, it was obvious the two of them are quite close. The complete opposite of how the two of them treated each other before.
The reason for that was sitting across them looking at them with dead eyes that were full of boredom. In this peaceful atmosphere, Orion looked like he is about to die and at any moment commit a war crime to spice things up a bit.
' Six days...same routine...In my veins now instead of blood flow a tea...how the fuck they can do this every fucking day??!!'
A week passed from his first meeting with Cleo. And from then she came every day to visit Orion and who knows when she became friends with Lord Theodore...They formed some sort of alliance and now two of them are bothering Orion every day.
'How the fuck that happened??! That old man is also sick!! How can he spend 6 hours every day bothering me with tea and cookies...You are viscount do your work man!!'
Lord Theorode misunderstood that Orion loves cakes and Tea and god knows why he told that to Cleo. Because of that, he was forced to pretend he love them and eat them until he got sick to them to the point where he tried to use his Divine Arts to burn every bakery in the city but Uriel stopped him.
"Orion would you like one of my chocolate cakes??"
"And what about one of my strawberry ones??"
Two of them asked as if competing whose cake he will take.
'Should I just kill both of them?? For peace of my sto- Ahm world, Yes it will be for the world peace yes for the world, it's fine'
Uriel who stood behind Orion along with other maids felt an explosion of killing intent coming from Orion.
'He lost it..' Uriel thought to herself and moved to save two idiots.
"Forgive me for my insolence but it seems like young master is tired." She quickly moved in front of the two of them and came up with an excuse to save their lives.
"You are right it will be better to rest before banquette. Uriel bring him to his room."
The old man stroked his chin and remembered that Today is the banquette where Orion is the main guest. Many nobles from the all over kingdom came to see Orion. Of course, Lord Theodore tried first to get permission from the duke.
It's unthinkable to do something like that without the permission of his parents. He couldn´t get into contact with a duke because he was away from a job somewhere in the royal capital but he got into contact with Duchess and she allowed it as long as Orion is fine with it.
"Orion is a bit tired... bye-bye uncle and big sis.."Orion said and cutely yawned.
He then turned to face Uriel and gestured with both of his hands for her to pick him up.
"Them with your permission.."Uriel picked Orion from the ground and slightly bowed to Cleo and Theodore and left with other maids following behind her back
Crack!
The sound of the table that cracked could be heard from behind their back both of them ignored it and continued to slowly walk towards the mansion.

In the mansion could be seen are sorts of servants running with food, plates, or other things they were preparing for the banquet. Because of that whole mansion was in a chaotic state. Sound of musicians practicing, cooks cursing lord Theodore because of late notice, and many others.
All of them had black bags under their eyes from staying awake all night. Some of them even doubted that they can make it in time.
As Uriel was walking through the hall with Orion in her embrace using her breasts like a pillow. All of the servants that saw them passing by stopped as if they froze staring at the duo.
—So that is him??
—Look how cute he is...
—From now I have no regrets in my life!!
—Gery be careful if your wife hears you it will really be your last day
—Guys I can feel my energy returning let's goo!!
—Yeaaahh!!! (10x)
All sorts of different voices echoed through the hall. Orion unintentionally returned their motivation which later resulted in an increase of efficiency.
*Orion´s room*
Orion lay on the bed looking at the ceiling. His face was emotionless as he was processing all information he got and what he need to do in the future.
He wasn´t just having these tea parties that were more like torture for him just because he is a masochist. He was carefully observing Cleo.
From the way she breathed to every word she said.
Simply everything.
Result?
'Nothing...I tried to provoke her many times and used words that could trigger a reaction from her but she was just acting as usual. Even though am glad I met one of the main characters this fast...It's hard to judge whenever she is the same..'
Main characters.
6 people that are always somehow connected with the protagonist in every known ending.
Their personalities are trash.
Their backstories are trash.
But they are strong.
Every action they make can change the course of this world. And they are people that Orion needs to stop.
Even if it's mean..killing them.
Among them, Cleo is the one that exposed her true colors only in danger or when she saw the possibility of disposing someone that stands in her way.
Because of that, it's hard to confirm whatever Cloe he met is the same as the one in the game.
'In the end, I will need to do 'that'...I feel sorry for the old man but I can´t waste my time here any longer..'
With that, he stood up from the bed. He clenched his hand after he opened it the small butterfly made of white energy appeared sitting on his palm. The butterfly slowly flew towards the window and left from mansion to fulfill orders given by its creator.

In front of the mansion owned by lord Theodore, multiple expensive carriages stood in the line.
The red carpet was placed in front of the entrance and knights in shiny armor were standing as guards ready to intervene in any sign of violence or in case someone tried to bring weapons to the ballroom.
Servants and maids were welcoming nobles one by one. While knights were using magic items to detect any magic artifacts
Inside one of the carriages that were waiting in the line was a young blond girl with bloody red eyes. Even though there were just waiting in the long boring line, the girl's eyes revealed she was excited.
"There are soo many people Matilda, do you think there will be children like me??"The girl asked excitedly as she peeked through the window
Sigh
The maid, Matilda that was sitting with the young girl sighed. She couldn't believe that her young lady was able to convince her father into allowing her to attend the banquet that was arranged in the honor of the duke´s son...
"Yes milady, since the main character of this banquet will be the successor of the duke, there will be many children that will want to form a connection with him,"
"I can´t wait to meet him...do you think he will want to be my friend???!!"
A small smile formed on matilda´s lips when she saw the excited expression of her young lady.
She was always worried because her young lady never had anyone close enough to call them friends. But the son of the duke...he could have equal friendship with her, unlike those leeches that were just with her due to order of their parents to curry favor.
"Yes, I am sure he will be more than happy to be your friend...Your Highness Laila"
Girls red eyes shone with excitement as she stared at the entrance of the mansion. With expectations forming in her head. She believed that she will find her first 'friend' at this place.
