Chapter 2: Stormy Days at the Castle (1)
6 years have passed since the day Jin selected Barisada
He no longer had to experience the sha his nanny replace his diapers, but it was still difficult for him to imitate the attitude of a child
‘I want to escape from this Storm Castle already’
The Storm Castle
A castle detached from the Runcandel Clan’s le footstep outside the Storm Castle until they turn ten, to protect them from assassination attempts
‘What kind of madman would try to assassinate the Runcandel children? Even their worst enemies, the Zipfels, wouldn’t dare to’
In actuality, there was a certain case around 200 years ago when soen Clan, another clan of sword children of the Runcandel Clan ended up getting killed
However, the very next day the entire Kungen Clan was annihilated, including every family member and the extended families of the servants, and disappeared into the annals of history
Ever since then, it had been a tradition and rule within the Runcandel household to have every child remain within the Storm Castle after their ‘Selection’ rituals until they becae
‘I’m so bored’
The atmosphere in the Storm Castle was indeed worthy of its name
It was located at the peak of Mt Murakan, which was presuested, a te all four seasons The rain, gales, and lightning constantly affected the mountaintop
‘This place isn’t suitable for a child’s e so violent and brutal… It’s because of this Goddamn place’
There were only two other Runcandel children residing in the castle with Jin His 10 other siblings had all exceeded the age of ten
Jin and his two brothers, the 5 elite knights protecting them, their nannies, and the 10-ish servants were the only people occupying the Storm Castle
“Jin!”
As soon as he heard the voice calling him, Jin’s frustration and irritation increased exponentially
The boy calling for hi voice was Daytona Runcandel He was older than Jin by two years
“Why are you alone without your incredible Barisada? Did you lose it? Kuhaha”
And the other brother ashim was Haytona Runcandel As their names implied, the tere identical twins
The Tona twins of the Runcandel Clan
During his first life, everyone who had dealt with these twins unanireed on one statement
That they were the Devil’s Spawn
‘These annoying brats’
Jin turned around to face theood memory about the Tona twins
They had bullied hi his ritual
And one would be severely mistaken to underestimate the 9-year-old brats and their harass these brothers did when they left the Store of 10 in his previous life was to assassinate someone That was how messed up they were by nature
As Jin didn’t react to their mockery, the Tona twins continued to harass him
Gilly, Jin’s nanny, had teerly waiting for this day to come, and had no intention to let Jin spend the day in peace
“Oi, we’re talking to you Where is Barisada?”
The Tona twins had begun to toro in this life
It had started off as soht harass the door when Jin went to the bathroo a bunch of salt in his soup
But afterwards, it began to escalate They tied a dead bird on the door handle to Jin’s room, and secretly released a venoarden onto Jin’s bed
Nonetheless, Jin had endured the harasser brother with large strides
As he watched thean to form on Jin’s face
“Hm, I’m not sure where I put it Oh, maybe I stuffed it up your asshole?”
Snap
The twins froze, and stared back and forth between each other and their youngest brother That wasn’t the reaction they had been expecting fro innate murderers, the Tona tere still 9-year-old children It was an aggressive term for the two of them When they realized the offensive nature of the expression, the Tonas’ faces began boiling in rage
“What did you just… Did you lose your mind, Jin?”
“Wake up already Your nanny isn’t here to protect you today”
“Pffft”
Jin let out a small sneer, and took a step towards his brothers
The Tona teren’t the only ones waiting for his nanny’s absence Rather, Jin had been waiting for this day to come far more ardently than them
He couldn’t wait to beat these little demons into submission
‘My past 7-year-old self could never even have thought of standing up against the Tona twins’
But he was different now
Even if the two brothers before him were a decade older, Jin was confident he could kill at least one of theency of their situation, the Tona twins boldly continued glaring at Jin
“If you beg for forgiveness right noe’ll let you off by just breaking your nose”
“Otherwise, we’ll make sure you’re in a state far worse than the bird on your door yesterday”
Approximately 5 steps for a 7-year-old That was the distance between Jin and his brothers in the Storm Castle’s hallway
“Aack!”
Suddenly, Haytona yelped as he crouched on the floor The startled Daytona looked around to check their surroundings, only to realize that his twin brother’s back was being squashed by Jin underfoot
Jin had instantaneously narrowed the distance between them and had planted his fist in Haytona’s stoh
Eventually, Daytona took a punch to the jaw and collapsed on the floor It was their first ti hit in this manner Moreover, their 7-year-old brother’s fist felt like a chunk of ice Cold and hard
‘Wha-What was that?’
The instant he got hit, Daytona caught sight of a dark aura surrounding Jin’s fist
But he didn’t have tian to return to his senses, another punch cah!”
