Rebirth: The Villainous Young Master Doesn't Want to Follow the Script Chapter 69: Snow-Colored and Lilac-Colored (2)
*********
Actually, Eclipse's true appearance wasn't that strawberry-colored hair and cyan-colored eyes that most of the people within the noble society known for it.
'That was nothing but more of a façade that my mother cast a powerful spell for both of us to hide our true appearance, but I don't know the reason for that.'
He just happened to learn about his mother's most guarded secret after both Eclipse and Rheina went back to the manor secretly without alerting the First Young Master and even the knights and servants within the manor.
Also, it seems that he wasn't found suspicious by the people within the manor after the two of them returned late at night.
'Well, that's because a certain soone volunteered to cover up for us so that no would suspect that we got out and went to the secret door to walk through inside the Hall of Legacy. Since he personally volunteered then, I hope he would uphold his promises back then.'
Eclipse thought as he rembered that ti when he was about to et Rheina at the abandoned mansion back then, he got a visitor all of the sudden and that person is none other than….
The Second Young Master of Marquis Chevalier household, Count Harrison Wynfred Chevalier….
He didn't expect his sudden visit to him back then and at that ti, he beca wary of him because out of the siblings that Eclipse rembered from his vague mories, Harrison might look harmless because of his carefree personality but…
'He is the most dangerous individual that one could et.'
If the First Young Master Altron had the Marquis' resemblance in terms of appearance, then, the Second Young Master, Count Harrison had the Marquis' ruthlessness when dealing with their enemies in the most brutal way that no one would expect.
'That's why I beca wary of him even though he had help that ti.'
From that ti, he suddenly rembered what he said from his visit.
« ... "I know what you're planning to do, little Zeke and I won't stop you from doing what you wanted to do, however, just a reminder that under normal circumstances, you don't have the authority to enter the Hall of Legacy without the Marquis' or even the Council of Elders decision, but I know that a certain soone gave you the key to access that [forbidden area] so… Let cover you up with it. Don't think about anything else and just focus on what you are doing." …. »
When Eclipse thought of that, at that point, he almost attempted to attack the said young master because of what he knew, and Eclipse didn't know how much information he knew about eting the previous Patriarch of the Chevalier household.
'Then, it ans, Harrison knew that the previous Patriarch wasn't death? How's that possible? Even Altron wouldn't know about this, for sure.'
He thought from that ti and almost attacked that person but halted from his steps because Eclipse knew that he won't be winning if they talk about physical strength alone since Harrison is much stronger than him, even though he can use his power, but he doesn't want to expose himself…. Yet.
However, when Eclipse looked into Harrison's forest-colored eyes, the eye color that almost had the similar color but different shades of color that the second young master inherited from the Marchioness, a serious and firm sharp eye as he stated those words back then, he reluctantly accepted the other man's help.
'Although I didn't want to be indebted to him but at that ti, I don't have a choice but to depend on his status as the Count and Knight Captain for my advantage.'
He snapped from those thoughts as he rembered that Arico was asking about his current appearance, and he took a deep breath as he speaks.
"As I said earlier that strawberry-colored hair and cyan-colored eyes that most of the people within the Stellarus Empire, especially the Marquis Chevalier household, had known was nothing but just a were façade that my mother cast a spell into it ever since I was born."
Arico raised an eyebrow when he heard the explanation and for the world-hopper to see the Slayer Agent's reaction, he had a perplexed look as he gazed back at Eclipse.
Eclipse took a deep breath as he gazed upon on the fire, they created using a simple magic spell coming from Eclipse since they were in the middle of the forest at night as they choose to stay for the anti to take a rest and by tomorrow, they would continue their journey.
His eyes never leave the fire as he continued; "I know you're confuse as hell since my current appearance right now if the appearance that most of the residence within the Main House System had known when I joined within the ranks as a novice world-hopper."
Arico, still couldn't understand everything as he asked; "For what I know, your current appearance right now, that snow-colored and lilac-colored eyes, we only concluded that you choose that appearance to yourself since you don't want to be reminded of your previous appearance as Ezekiel, to the point that you even change your na with it."
Eclipse shook off his head as he countered that statent; "They were wrong. I didn't correct them and just let them be for whatever they were thinking since it doesn't matter to though. Why waste my ti to explain things to all of you?"
He paused for a minute as he continued; "And besides, Sir Red knew the whole truth. Sohow, the mont I died back in my previous life as Ezekiel, I happened to notice the sudden power within suddenly lift and the mont I appeared within the Main House System as a novice world-hopper, this the appearance that most residence of that place had known."
And then Eclipse divert his attention from the fire and looked at Arico once again and said; "Also, about changing my na from your last sentence? I didn't change it but rather, Eclipse was originally my na before I got the nad Ezekiel Zephyr Chevalier when those people had brought and my mother back at the Chevalier mansion."
Even though Eclipse finally explained his side, Arico's thoughts still couldn't understand everything, and he had tons of questions that needs answers.
'His appearance was concealed ever since he was born and the nad Eclipse is his real na before he got bestowed by a new na, Ezekiel Zephyr Chevalier?'
He thought as he think further.
Arico wanted answers to all of his questions but there is one question that keeps on bugging him.
He looked at Eclipse once more as he asked; "Why bother to hide your true appearance and your mother's? Also, how co that you know about this?"
Eclipse knew what the other person was thinking as he answered; "As for how I know, I suddenly rembered from my vague mories about this conversation that I had with my mother when she was still alive. She told back then that [Don't let others knew what lies beneath the surface I'm representing]."
After that, he paused for a minute and smiled bitterly as he chuckled; "At first, I don't understand those words and up until my last mont, I still don't understand it. I only understand a little bit when I beca a novice world-hopper and done mission tasks from my world-hopping journey that I got an idea but at the sa ti, still couldn't understand it."
The Slayer Agent just listened to Eclipse's explanation and tried to understand what he said but even if that was the case then, there are still so questions that left unanswered.
'From what I know based on the information that was given from the system archive, there wasn't much information about Aryan Asterrix aside from the fact she ca from a family of rchants and his father is the Headmaster of the rchant Alliance on her character background.'
Not only that, but there also wasn't a ntion within the system archive about Aryna Asterrix's being able to have abilities since she ca from a commoner background.'
From what Arico had known, in this worldline, only those chosen people within their respective households could have bloodline powers coming from their ancestors from the ancient tis.
Commoners, on the other hand, could have powers within them but it wasn't that powerful compared to those noble households who were blessed through their bloodlines from their ancestors.
While Arico's thoughts wonder, Eclipse, on the other hand, also wanted to know the exact reason why his mother even went that far to conceal their true appearance and also, he wanted to know about his mother's mysterious identity since within the system archive, there wasn't that much information about her.
'I only knew about this matter from my previous life's mories and nothing else.'
Also, for so unknown reason, he felt that there is sothing amiss about his mories.
He only knew that his true appearance was concealed ever since he was born since his mother told him about it but… he rembered that she said sothing else….
'What was it again? Argh…. Why was it that whenever I tried to think about it, there are so forces that keeps at bay?'
