“Yes. Okay. Would you like something to eat? The owner likes scones. Warm scones.” said Robert.

“Warm scones, all right.” responded Eugene.

Eugene hadn’t eaten much because he was sick all day. The word ‘warm scone’ made him smile, but then as soon as the door opened, people rushed in. A middle-aged man, a young man, and a woman. The faces of these people were all unfamiliar.

Eugene roughly guessed who they were.

Patrick, the middle-aged man who claimed to be Eugene’s guardian. Patrick’s young son, Kane, and Rachel, Kane’s wife. It was most likely one of the reasons they were doing so poorly.

They claimed to live in the outskirts, not in Hayneskan Castle. Nevertheless, Robert explained that he bullied Eugene almost every day. Perhaps he came running when he heard Eugene had woken up.

While Eugene was examining the face of the new characters, Kane pushed Robert closer.

“Memory loss? It’s not even funny. Do you think that kind of excuse works? Even if you don’t remember that you were engaged, you should still get married. Don’t you know you’re going to die if you don’t do that?.” said Kane.

Eugene was dumbfounded by Kane’s sudden verbal abuse which was paired with a round smile. He was wondering what kind of person Kane was.

Rachel, sitting next to Kane, spoke this time.

“Calm down. Kane, he’s basically an idiot.” 

“Don’t you know what you’re thinking? The godmother called you. Who believes this nonsense of amnesia? I can’t live because I’m too embarrassed to meet the real godfather.” said Kane.

“Eugene, it must have been difficult to come up with an excuse for memory loss in your head. Who is it? Who told you to lie about amnesia? Huh? That person is a bad person. Was it that Robert?” asked Kane.

Eugene was dizzy because of Kane and Rachel, who took turns spewing abusive language. Eugene thought to himself that he’s met many different people in his life, but not many people are like this.

“Are you dumb? Why don’t you speak? I asked you a question. If you’re sorry for something you’ve done, you should bow your head and apologize, right? What? What are you staring at?” demanded Kane.

Kane tapped Eugene on the back of the head with his fingertips. Eugene realized right away how Baron Linweissen was being treated so far.

Based on past experiences, Eugene decided that getting angry or arguing loudly was not a good idea. He calmly pushed Kane’s hand away.

“I don’t know who you are, but why are you being so rude?” asked Eugene.

“What?” said Kane.

“I said it was rude.” 

“Look at this guy. Am I rude?” Kane scoffed.

“Yeah. I don’t know, maybe you shouldn’t hit a sick person’s head with your finger–” 

Kane had slapped Eugene’s cheek with his palm before Eugene could finish his sentence. He hit so hard that his head turned to the side.

“You bastard! Talk to me like that again. Huh?!” said Kane.

When Kane tried to raise his hand again, Robert took a step up and wrapped Eugene around him in surprise. Eugene clicked his tongue at the prickly pain.

Eugene thought he could handle this well, however, he didn’t expect the use violence immediately after slight provocation. Especially towards a patient who regained consciousness a few days after rolling down the stairs.

Other than Kane, everyone else appeared to be quite smart.

“Honey!” 

“What are you doing, Kane?” asked Patrick.

Kane was held back by Rachel and Patrick and yelledl.

“He’s talking nonsense, isn’t he?” said Patrick.

“Father, get out of my way!” yelled Kane.

“Kane, go outside and get some fresh air. Rachel, what are you doing as well? Leave right now!” Patrick ordered. 

Kane, huffing and puffing, took a step back when Patrick shot in a low voice.

While Rachel was dragging him out, he glared as if he was about to kill Eugene. 

“Wait and see. I won’t leave you alone.” muttered Kane.

It was a venomous threat, but Eugene only heard it with one ear and let it out the other.

Eugene had tough relatives. One of his uncle’s sons was exactly like that.

Eugene’s father had two younger sisters and one older brother. Eugene’s family and aunt got along well. They frequently met because they lived close to each other, but the relationship with the uncle, on the other hand, worsened day by day.

The death of his grandfather, in particular, caused the conflict. His uncle declared that he did not feel obligated to attend his father’s memorial service because of religious customs, and shouted that he was the eldest son, so he should get to inherit all of the inheritance.

And he withdrew, claiming that serving his grandmother was difficult because he was the only son and descendants were sensitive. Eugene’s father, after all, was the one who looked after their grandmother*.

[*T/N: Eugene’s grandmother.]

Eugen’s uncle did try to visit his grandfather’s memorial service and grandmother’s birthday regularly, but he struggled. Eugene’s grandmother, who was once a noble woman, asked Eugene not to look at her face, but it didn’t work. This was due to his uncle’s desire for his grandmother’s property. Cheating once nearly destroyed Eugene’s father’s business.

Eugen’s cousin, who resembled his uncle, was also selfish. He bothered Yujin, the youngest of his cousins, on a regular basis. Swearing, stealing, and using violence all at once was fundamental. Despite the fact that he was caught making mistakes on the scene, he was too consumed with blaming others and making excuses to reflect on himself.

It was funny that he had a leech-like relative even though he was possessed by a novel. Eugene, on the other hand, knew what to do and how to do it based on his previous experience.

After confirming that Kane was going to leave the room, Eugene slowly escaped Robert’s arms.

“Your face is swollen, master.” said Robert.

Patrick* pushed Robert away and stood in front of Eugene after he saw Eugene’s face.

[*T/N: Patrick = greedy uncle

Robert = servent

Kane = greedy uncle’s son

Rachel = greedy uncle’s son’s wife]

If Kane’s face was twisted by cruelty, Patrick’s face was twisted by greed. Much like an uncle.

“Move out of my way. Does it hurt?” asked Patrick.

“Didn’t you say you look more foolish than you actually are? Tsk. Kane seemed to have lost his temper for a bit. This is entirely your fault. If you knew Kane was easily offended, you should not have offended him. That’s why you’re so dull.” said Patrick. 

Eugene was shocked by Patrick’s outburst, who blamed him and defended his own violent son. It was clear to Eugene because he was able to see the situation through the eyes of a third party. He might have died of frustration if he had been subjected to such treatment.

That’s why the kid couldn’t keep his head up.

Eugene kicked his tongue inside and swept his hand across his cheek. He had no idea how badly he had bruised it, but just touching it hurt.

Eugen’s mouth seemed to taste blood.

He couldn’t stand it any longer. To be more specific, Eugene had to make it right for what he had suffered.

“I think I should call a doctor,” said Robert.

“What is this about calling a doctor? If you’re a man, you need to put up with a little pain. Don’t show your weakness. If you ice it for a while, I’ll bring you medicine. You’re aware of how expensive it is, aren’t you? Taking care of you is really expensive.” said Patrick.

Eugene was completely fed up with the sight of people breathing. He has seen a lot of really bad people in his life, and while his Uncle doesn’t resort to physical violence like Kane, he is one of the worst types of bad guys.

Eugene locked his gaze on Patrick and reached out to grab the string. The string shook violently. Other servants had no choice but to come because Robert was there.

“Eugene! What are you doing?” asked Patrick.

“I don’t know who you are because I’ve lost my memory. Don’t shout at me.” 

“What?” said Patrick.

“My mouth is bleeding and hurting. I need to see a doctor.” said Eugene.

Eugene, who had only stated the facts, pulled the rope one more time. 

He didn’t forget to look Patrick in the eyes, who had a dumbfounded expression on his face.

Eugene was already prepared to deal with such a person. Even if he tried to argue with the truth, all that remained were rotten and stained insides.

“Stupid. Don’t you know that there’s nothing good about making a fuss? There is medicine. If you apply it it will heal quickly, so why are you acting so stupid?” shouted Patrick.

Eugene, intent on remaining tough, ignored Patrick’s threat. It also prevented any attempts of letting the servant leave the room.

Eugene showed the servant his bruised cheek and explained that he needed to see a doctor. He also said Kane had beaten him. Patrick became enraged, exclaiming, “What nonsense is this?” and pretended to not know what he was talking about and let it slip.

“Well, you haven’t lost your memory, you’ve lost your fear. You’ll see. I won’t forgive you if you beg me later!” said Patrick.

Patrick barked at the dog and disappeared. Despite the terrible comments, Eugene snorted.

Before saving the world, breaking up with a relative (his uncle) needed to come first.

The Godfather sent a maid, who informed them that she would come to see Eugene in two hours. Eugene had to mentally prepare himself to meet Ludvina with a bruise on his cheek.

He had spent the entire day in bed and looked terrible because of the bruise on his cheek. Nonetheless, with Robert’s help, he was able to look like a human being after bathing and changing his clothes.

Eugene lived in a detached house on Hayneskan’s west side. It was small in size, but there was a separate reception room where guests could be greeted.

Ludvina, who visited the western annex in a suit rather than a dress, was a striking beauty. She, who had reddish brown hair and vivid green eyes, had the ability to attract people.

“Good morning,” Eugene smiled as he greeted Ludvina. Ludvina, on the other hand, sat down, her face stiffened, as she stared at the clear bruise on Eugene’s cheek.

“I’ve gotten a minor bruise on my cheek. It’s because my skin is sensitive. It hurts a little, but it’s all right.” said Eugene quickly.

Eugene chose his words carefully. There were several ways to reveal the truth.

The best option was to not fight head on, but to allow someone with power and authority to solve the problem for him. It required little to no effort, and was simple to follow up.

Patrick and his son were well-known for their bad behavior. Their wickedness had been forgotten, but he had seen how they had selfishly treated Hayneskan Castle’s servants. Ludvina had even offered Baron Linweissen a formal guardian, according to Robert.

Of course, Patrick could not be defeated by Baron Linweissen, who was too weak himself. But Eugene was different. He was determined to get rid of such instabilities as soon as possible.
