Chapter 4

5 years later.

A little boy with short silver hair on his head and beautiful gem-like amethyst eyes was sitting on his knees quietly.

In front of him was a middle-aged woman with a wrinkled face and stern expression.

"Master Oliver, now solve this problem," she said, sliding a sheet containing a number of math problems towards the calm boy.

The boy was none other than Finn. In the past 5 years, he had learned a lot about himself and his situation; he was born as the fourth son, Oliver.

Which meant Nadia was his twin sister. This relieved him when he came to know about it; he was glad that he didn't need to wait a lot.

Apparently, she was born just before a few days he was born.

In the novel, Nadia was not supposed to have a twin sibling, but perhaps it was due to him that this changed.

Nonetheless, it did not halt his plans.

At the moment, he was being taught by a teacher hired specifically to educate the children of the clan.

No matter how pathetic his talent as an exorcist was, he still had the blood of the Clan, so he was also taught.

The family only needed excellent children; the pathetic ones shall be discarded.

Although he had not shown any talent in being an exorcist, he had shown brilliant academic brilliance.

Which meant that he still had some worth as a scholar and could probably aid as a strategist in the future.

This was quite surprising to him; he had thought initially that he would be thrown out of the clan soon, but unexpectedly, they still kept him and raised him normally.

'It seems they still care about their blood.' Oliver felt happy that he was left alone and was not denied too much.

Of course, he was still despised by the clan members for being born weak.

He was too lazy to bother with them and focused on showing his academic talents.

He walked on the wooden flooring, his white socks rubbing against the floor; he was dressed in modest clothes at the moment, with a simple shirt and pants.

He was searching for Nadia; he had asked around a few maids and knew about her whereabouts; the household was extremely humongous, and he lived in some isolated corner.

Whereas Nadia lived quite close to the center of the estate.

So, he took some long routes and reached her courtyard shortly.

Clang!

He heard some sounds as soon as he reached there; it was the sound of clashing of weapons.

Peeking from behind a rock, he saw her finally.

There she was, in her training clothes, thrusting her sword and swinging at the metallic training statue.

His eyes widened when he saw her; she was literally the same age as him, but the way she was swinging the sword and hammering the metal dummy was astonishing.

Despite her mere age, she was monstrously powerful; the metal dummy shook with every impact of her swing, as if ready to fall apart at any moment.

'As expected of Nadia, the demoness.'

Oliver sucked a cold breath; he was sure that one hit from her would send him to the afterlife.

Nadia paused suddenly and twisted her body and stared at the rock where he was hiding behind.

His scalp went numb when he was easily detected.

'Is she even human!?' Oliver cursed, a bit worried now.

"Show yourself," Nadia spoke, her voice as cold as ice.

She didn't have an ounce of fear; she knew it was the main estate of the household, and the person hiding was likely not an enemy.

It was highly impossible for someone to infiltrate their main household where the strongest exorcists lived.

"Uhh... hey?"
