Chapter 1 Childhood 3. I checked my memory again②

"Look, Edward. I can see it now. That's our mansion."

My uncle shook me awake and pointed to a large mansion built on a gentle hillside.

"It's beautiful..."

"I hope you like it. If there is anything you want, don't hesitate to tell me."

"Yes, sir. Koshaku-sama."

"No? Edward."

"Ah...... chi-chi... chi-chiue-sama."

"I don't need "sama.""

Well, "little by little,"  my father laugh.

I am able to spend my time here because of the efforts of my father, the Finley family steward, and Marie.

It is a matter of course, but there were various procedures and things that had to be taken into consideration before the Marquis would take me in.

Yes, it was the biggest pinch for me.

My father 'Marquis Finley' never told me about it, but rumors come from somewhere.

After my own father died, my grandparents considered me an unwanted grandchild.

Just as my mother gave up on my father, my grandparents gave up on me.

Well, the third son of the marquis who became their son-in-law brought in all kinds of trouble, and the daughter eloped with a man she didn't know, which really shouldn't have happened to the count family.

It was Marie who sensed this and helped me.

Marie took me out of my room, covered in scars from my father's assault, and hid me in a hidden room in the mansion, saying sorry a lot.

I didn't understand why Marie would do such a thing at the time, but I still believed her words.

"I will definitely rescue Mr. Edward. Please wait for me."

Saying this in tears, Marie rode her horse to the Finley house with a ray of hope.

Marie's energy is amazing.

So she met my father 'Marquis Finley' who was on his way here on the way, explained the situation to him, and brought him to us, asking us to please help him.

But the mansion had already been ransacked by someone.

Thanks to Marie's protection and concealment magic at the entrance to the hidden room, I managed to survive in the hidden room without being found.

It had been five days since Marie left.

I have little recollection of how I spent my time.

There were some traces of food like cookies that had been prepared for me and water that had been placed on the table.

Marie disarmed the entrance spell, my father 'Marquis Finley' found me and immediately took me to the temple, and while they were there, they took my father's body *his real father* and talked to the head of Count Harvin, who decided to take me in as his own son.

My younger  brother is dead, the Countess has eloped, I, his legitimate son, am dying in a dilapidated mansion, and my father 'Marquis Finley' and the family order took me in as [peacefully] as they could, using various means.

And Marie, who had gone to a great deal of trouble to save me, was also made a Finley family maid.

But I don't know the details of this exchange.

He didn't have that much detail in his memory.

I think that all of them are "seemingly" all the time, and there are things that are close to assumptions, but I think that they are probably not that far off.

I don't have "his" ego inside me, but the memory of "him" has already been completely absorbed into me, and I am the new Edward, so to speak.

Or, in the language of his world, I am Edward the reincarnated.

Anyway, I have Edward's four-year-old memories and mind intact, and although I cannot remember his name, I have inherited not all of his memories that lived until he was 21 years old in a different world from this one.

That's how I know. Why does "he" who lived in a different world know so much about me?

It is because this world is "his" world, and it is the same as the novel "The silver world where my beloved child fell" that "he" read.

In the novel, I, "Edward Finley," was one of the enemies of the main character, "The beloved child"......

I was the "villain decree" who kills the brother "he" is about to meet.
