Chapter 7: Peach Village

Chapter 7: Peach Village

"Which bastard did this to you!?"

Miguel's booming voice startled Sara. She could feel his rage in his voice. She realized that Miguel had truly grown up and changed for the better. He now has emotion as well, just like any normal human does.

She felt warmth inside her heart, knowing that the child she raised was showing her concern. This was the first time in ages that she felt that she was being cared for.

When was the last time? Right, it was when her now-husband left for a long trip.

Tears started to well on her eyes, and she was about to say that Miguel doesn't have to worry about it when Miguel beat her to it.

"You know what? You don't have to say anything," he said with a flat tone.

He knew that Sara would just deny it to keep him from getting worried. As for the reason for the bruise on her neck, Miguel was a hundred percent sure that it was Jonas who did it.

His rage towards Jonas just increased even more.

Sara smiled and told him to sit at the table so that they could have their breakfast.

While eating, Sara mentioned that they would go straight to the main house today to report his grimoire awakening. She said that those who awakened a grimoire would be valued by the Red Family, even if they came from a servant lineage. After all, not all people could successfully awaken a grimoire, so every grimoire user was very valuable to the family, no matter their previous status. CHeCk for new stories on no/v/el/bin(.)c0m

The place they were in right now was the servant quarters of the third branch of the Red Family, led by the third cousin of the main branch's family head. They were in a small village called Peach Village.

The main house of this branch was on the other side of the village. It would take at least an hour of moderate walking and thirty minutes at most if they rode a horse carriage just to get there.

This made him wonder if there were other power systems present in this world aside from the grimoires.

Having two or more power systems in one world was actually not impossible. There were times that people were reluctant to accept that they were not gifted or talented enough to practice the main power system of the world; hence, they would seek their own way of going stronger.

Strengthening the body through hard-core training and strict discipline was an example of such a case.

The two guards were already familiar with Sara. They greeted her politely and then asked about Miguel.

"This is my adopted son. He awakened a grimoire yesterday, and I'm here to report it to the branch head," she stated. There was an unconcealed pride in her voice as she said that to the guards.

The two guards' eyes lit up once they heard her report. Someone who awakened a grimoire would surely become someone great in the future. They could not help but cast a gaze of envy towards Miguel as they reminisced about their past when they waited for a grimoire to awaken when they were at the age of 18.

In the end, the two of them bowed respectfully to the two of them even more before they allowed them to enter the small manor. They also jokingly said that Miguel should not forget about them when he becomes powerful in the future.

Miguel nodded perfunctorily towards them as he stepped inside, following right behind Sara.

The moment his right foot stepped into the land right behind the gate, his vision suddenly constricted as texts of unknown origin flashed in front of his eyes.
