Chapter 1.2

TI: Rainberg or Reinberg, depends on autocorrection from my phone, either of the two will be used for the surname

***

Unlike other noble families, the Ducal family of Rainberg does not have a deep history. The first head of the family is my father, the war hero, Duke Libera Quilz Rainberg.

All of the family’s vassals were the recipients of the great war, directly appointed by my father, and the knights were also mostly from commoners. It could be said that they were also the most irrelevant to imperial politics even with the title of Duke with a duchy.

They are not a family to be despised. If ever a great war broke out, no one would dare to ignore the existence of Duke Rainberg, the great hero who saved the empire and the one who still holds great power.

The Duchy of Quilz was also a defense line of the Empire as it bordered with the land of the Ain people.

Thanks to that, the family was full of freedom, so I lived happily until I was ten years old.

My brothers and sisters weren’t crazy back then, and they were just ordinary kids.

As the youngest son of a prosperous family, I probably have free and laid-back life that wouldn’t participate in any succession disputes, and live in the duchy without facing any trouble.

However, an incident occurred ahead of the ‘Ritual of Artemis’.

Duke Reinberg, who possess a special power called ‘Spirit’, held an annual thanksgiving festival to appease Artemis, the god of hunting and spirits.

As a child, I thought it was cool to see knights participating in the thanksgiving Festival.

When I was ten years old and qualified to participate in the rituals of Artemis, l excitedly practiced hunting.

It was around the time I was learning how to shoot a bow, how to chase prey, and how to find traces.

I suddenly realized

Who I was in my previous life.

It was so random that I let a loud laugh as I remembered my past life.

“Oh, I remembered. I am Kim Chang-sik, 29 years old.”

From the time I learned to speak and able to communicate to some extent, I suddenly thought of many ‘words’ that did not exist in the Empire.

Words such as ‘ramen’ and ‘jigae’, which are difficult to pronounce even in this world language, came to my mind, and surprisingly, I found out that they were actually food.

When I was a baby, I was told that I had a habit of raising my middle finger whenever I saw people.

However, it was when I was ten years old that I finally remembered my past life, right before the hunting festival.

It was at this time that we, who were ordinary like children of our age, suddenly changed, and it was also at the time that I recalled the memories of my previous life. Even my other siblings recalled their previous lives around the same time as me.

In the midst of confusion, the result I came up with was simple.

Hide.

Knowing my past life doesn’t change anything.

I got a new life. It was also the life of the youngest son of the Duke.

As I recalled the disgusting and dirty things I had experienced in my previous life, I felt that my present life was more precious.

There won’t be any problems.

That was what I thought.

Damn, can I even survive?

I took part in the thanksgiving ceremony with a secret.

No matter how special the children the Ducal family of Rainberg was, we are only ten years old.

Of course, I didn’t hunt too hard, and with the help of the knights, I was happy with the prey I caught by shooting a bow or crossbow from a distance.

“The First young master has disappeared!”

“What? The first young master? What are the escort knights doing?”

While I was bragging about catching a rabbit as I approached my father, the knights, who were escorting my older brother, suddenly came rushing in and said he was missing.

From that moment on, I gradually felt that something was wrong.

The eldest son of the duke disappeared during the family festival.

After a great commotion, the hunting festival stopped, and the knights, as well as my father, a wizard, set out in search of my older brother.

An unexpected search started. However, despite a thorough search, no trace of the fragile ten-yearold boy was found

The situation became so serious that rumors of kidnapping from the Ain people, taking advantage of the festival, were raised

“The first young master is back! He said he went out hunting alone, but… He brought a Mammoth’s tusk.”

“What? Mammoth? Mammoth’s tusk?”

His lost older brother returned a few hours later together with a Mammoth’s tusk.

At the unbelievable news, my father went straight to see my older brother, and I also hastily followed.

“Are you here, Father?”

I still remember my older brother waiting for us in the tent of the hunting ground with a smile that a kid with his age should not have.

The tone of his voice suddenly changed. The ten-year-old boy, who had been hunting for several hours to avoid the family search, was covered in dust, but had no small wounds.

The sight of the mammoth’s tusk, taller than him, together with his older brother, was evidence to his great hunt.

“Ha, can you explain how this happened?”

“It’s not a big deal. While chasing a deer, there was an annoying one, so I just caught it.”

“You mean there was a mammoth nearby?”

During the Thanksgiving Festival, the duchy’s hunting grounds were fully controlled.

A ferocious beast like a Mammoth, that inhabits the land of the Ain, will never enter.

At the words of the First Young Master, the knights in charge of controlling the hunting grounds were bad and made excuses.

“The hunting grounds is in our complete control. A mammoth from the lands of the north cannot be hunted!”

“It is not a matter to be passed on. The investigation should be ordered properly…”

“No, Father. There were really no mammoths in the hunting grounds.”

The older brother said with a bright smile (A relaxed smile I had never seen before).

A 10-year-old child has caught a mammoth that even knights who have learned Aura alone find it difficult to defeat.

Of course, everyone, including my father, was stunned Another level of nonsensical work that completely crushed common sense.

If the older brother had not been the son of the Empire’s greatest Wizard and war hero, Duke Reinberg, something more serious would have happened.

Priests will come out to dissect my older brother in the church, or things like that.

It was a time to seriously contemplate the authenticity of my older brother’s words.

However, my older sister’s escort knights came and told my father, who was losing his mind because of my older brother, about her disappearance.

“The second young Lady suddenly disappeared!”

“I told you that I was suspicious of an outside operation! Are you guys still knights?”

“I’m not trying to make excuses, really… she just disappeared from my sight.”

“Does it make sense? A 10-year-old girl disappeared from the gaze of dozens of knights?”

The mammoth hunted by the First Young Master was just the beginning of the legend

My older sister also disappeared, and now, within an hour, she brought a giant crocodile called Rhone crocodile

What is surprising is that a ten-year-old girl somehow managed to catch a crocodile that lives only in the Neron River, which should take about several hours to ride with a horse from a hunting ground.

Moreover, unlike my older brother, who only brought mammoth tusk, she brought the whole giant crocodile. How the giant crocodile from Neron River came to the hunting grounds, was still a story of family mystery.

My father did not ask my older sister, who had caught the crocodile, how she got it. He must have been afraid to hear any of her answers.

Instead, he asked her why she had caught a giant crocodile from afar, and my older sister replied:

Because I don’t want to lose to him.’

The situation that day was chaos itself.

On the day when the children of the Ducal family of Rainberg, who caused many emergency calls, made our father, who usually have a gentle personality, loose his temper. It was my third sister dealt the final attack to the festival.

Unlike my first and second older siblings, my third sister did not suddenly disappear or catch a huge beast.

However, while the Reinberg family was in turmoil, she roamed the hunting grounds to save prey, but the problem is…

“Aww, the third maiden is now bringing beasts from the hunting grounds!”

“Beasts?”

Dozens of rabbits, deer and wild boars followed her.

As if tamed, they were all following my thirst sister.

The sight of her basking under the warm sun surrounded by animals was a divine sight.

“All of them are children blessed by the moon! Oh, Artemis!”

The old maid, who believe in superstition, shouted.

It was the moment when the legend of the ‘Quadruplets who received the blessing of the moon (though I was only riding on my siblings achievement)’ was born.

Damn, if they had known their identity, she wouldn’t have said that.

What is the moon’s blessing for the wicked who tried to destroy my previous world?
