Allen and Irina walked back to the room and finally arrived at Irina's bedroom.
"Well, have a good rest, my little girl," Allen said with a warm smile as he affectionately rubbed Irina's head.
Upon hearing this, Irina nodded and gently hugged Allen.
"Thank you, big brother," she said with her eyes closed.
"I hope you always stay healthy and well, because if you were to fall ill like yesterday, I wouldn't know how to live without you." Tears welled up in her eyes as she hugged Allen even tighter.
Observing this, Allen's expression softened further, and he hugged Irina back, offering comfort.
"Take it easy, my little girl, because I promise to always protect you. Of course I won't fall ill like yesterday," he reassured her in a soothing voice that seemed to bring a sense of security to Irina's heart.
After a while, the two finally let go of their embrace.
"Alright, big brother."
"I'll go to bed first, and you should rest a lot too, so your body can fully recover, okay?" She said with a beautiful smile, though deep inside, she wished to spend more time with her brother.
However, she understood that her brother had only recently recovered and needed plenty of rest for a quick recovery.
Acknowledging her concern, Allen smiled and replied, "Of course, thank you for caring about me, Irina."
Afterwards, Irina's expression turned reluctant as she opened the door to her room.
She hesitated for a moment, stealing one last glance outside, before finally closing the door.
Witnessing this, Allen immediately changed his smiling face into an indifferent one and closed his eyes briefly.
"The time is approaching when the heroes are summoned, and I must increase my strength as soon as possible," he mused to himself, gazing out the window at the night sky.
Then he withdrew his gaze and walked toward his room.
...
Allen opened the door to his room and stepped inside, gently closing it behind him.
As he entered, his eyes were drawn to a letter resting on his study table.
"Oh, what's this?" He walked over to the desk and picked up the letter, flipping through its pages with curiosity.
Without hesitation, he tore open the envelope and saw the name of the writer.
"Mom?" Allen raised his eyebrows in surprise, then quickly delved into reading the letter.
After a few minutes of reading and processing the letter's contents, he frowned, sinking into his study chair.
"Mom left without telling me because there was a problem in Marquis Magnus' family..." Allen rested his chin on his hand, and he appeared to be quite familiar with this situation.
Suddenly, his eyes widened, and he gasped in shock.
"This... shouldn't this have happened a few months after my recovery?" Allen pondered, his brow furrowing in thought.
The current issue in the Marquis Magnus family revolves around an internal family matter.
Roland Magnus, the younger brother of the family head, was secretly collaborating with the Salvaria royal family to launch an attack on the core of the Magnus family structure.
This treacherous plan stemmed from Roland's ambition to inherit the seat of power within the Magnus family.
Unfortunately, Lucas Magnus, the family patriarch of the Magnus family and also his mother's father, who was also his grandfather, refused to yield to Roland's desires, forcing him to resort to such cruel and drastic measures.
"I never imagined the butterfly effect of my rebirth would be this enormous from just a small change!" Allen exclaimed, holding his forehead as dizziness overwhelmed him.
"However, it was still in the early stages, and Roland's collaboration with the Salvarian royal family has not yet come to light..." He pondered for a moment, then rose from his chair.
"Consequently, I still have enough time to elevate my skills and ultimately assist Mother and the Magnus family!" Allen took a deep breath, resolute in his decision.
Indeed, due to the substantial butterfly effect, he harbored a slight worry that the heroes might be summoned earlier than they were in his previous life.
So he had to increase his power level as quickly as possible!
Without wasting a moment, he walked to his cupboard, where he found a black cloak and immediately put it on.
With all the necessary items packed in his bag, he felt everything was in order.
Looking up at the night sky from the window, he muttered to himself, "Time to go to the northern forest to earn experience points!"
In an instant, his body began to fade away, gradually disappearing like evaporated air.
----------
Allow me to clarify something important, and I kindly request your close attention.
First and foremost, it's important to acknowledge that Allen underwent a rebirth while in a coma, which was triggered by poisoning.
He mentioned waking up earlier than he did in his previous life.
According to the reborn Allen, the heroes are expected to be summoned within a month, right?
However, considering that Allen should have remained in a coma for over a month, it seems implausible for him to have knowledge of the heroes' eventual summoning or to witness it while still in a comatose state.
I want to emphasize that this apparent discrepancy is not a plot hole but rather a deliberate plot point that I've prepared for a chapter in the distant future.
I'm sharing this explanation proactively to address any potential inquiries.
Thank you for your understanding.
