Chapter 1 Childhood 1. To Finley Territory

My name is Edward Harvin, and I am four years old.

I am a child of Count Harvin's family in the Kingdom of Leferit.

But soon I will be Edward Finley.

I will be adopted by my uncle, the Marquis David Grandes Finley, who came for me.

"There's no need to be nervous, everyone is looking forward to Edward's arrival."

"Yes, sir. Thank you very much."

"I told you before that I also have a son named Alfred, so I hope you will get along with him, he is five years older than you and I am sure he will play with you."

"Yes... I'll be a good boy."

"Edward is a good boy just the way he is. He'll be fine."

Is it his habit to say, "it's okay". The Marquis of Finley, worthy of being called handsome, said so and smiled softly.

Nearly half a month had passed since he was rescued from the hidden room of Count Harvin's family.

In the Kingdom of Leferit, there is a healing magic,  injuries and illnesses are healed by the healing mages in the temple.

But even if they could heal the injuries and illnesses, they could not heal the skinny body due to lack of nutrition, nor could they heal the heart that had been damaged by heartless words and violence.

After my treatment at the temple, I was taken to a quiet inn in a nearby town, where I would sleep, wake up, eat, sleep again...

I spent my time doing this repeatedly, being taken incredibly good care of until I was strong enough to go to the Finley estate in a horse-drawn carriage.

There was also my maid, Marie. I was glad she was safe.

During that time, the Marquises told me that I had been abused by my real parents and that my father had died in an attack by wild thieves.

And that my father's brother, the Marquis Finley, had come for me upon receiving the news.

But I knew there was more to it than that.

.........

The carriage, which I was riding in for the first time in my life, was running smoothly towards Finley's estate.

The surrounding area is a beautiful and lush field of wheat. It is a beautiful and rich field.

I took a deep  breath as I pretended to look out.

After the treatment at the temple, I developed a fever.

My uncle told me that I must have been tired. He told me that my wounds had healed and that I should rest and relax.

But the reason I developed a fever was probably because my four-year-old body exceeded its capacity.

It was what is called "wisdom fever"

That's right. It is hard to believe, but I had memories other than Edward's as a four-year-old.

I was just confused by all that was going on, you know?

But it was more than just confusion.

The world in my memory was a completely different world from this world.

I couldn't even dream of such a world as a 4 year old.

And .........

"We'll be there in the afternoon, so if you're tired, don't worry, just go back to sleep. I'll wake you up before we get there."

"...... Thank you."

I closed my eyes to suppress my fidgety and restless feelings.

I checked Edward's memories against my recollection of "him" to make sure they were correct.
