Chapter 8: The National Foundation Day (1)
Time continued to pass, and for the past three months, whenever I remembered a person to whom I had done something wrong, I would go there and apologize, make amends, and continue to practice. And because of all of this, Little by little, the suspicious glances around me began to soften too.
Because I acted sincerely and did not do something wrong with anyone, my father and mother in particular seemed to acknowledge that I had changed. But my brother still gave me a suspicious look.
Among everyone, the servants and maids including Emile were the most suspicious of me. As I rolled up my arms to help them with their work every day, but since I mainly did the things that servants and maids shun the most, for example, cleaning the barn or carrying heavy laundry, they were all the more suspicious of me.
And that wasn't all. At first, the knights who were frantic to beat me began to look at me as if I was a monster when they saw me reaching the same level as them. And my growth in my skills was not the only scary thing for them. Over the past three months, my physique has also grown considerably. Right now, my body was incomparably stronger than before and was reminiscent of those of the knights.
It was the result of repeated training every day. In addition, as mana was steadily accumulated, the effect of mana on the body could not be ignored.
Mana is the source of life that spreads throughout this world and because I continuously accepted it into my body and handled it efficiently, my body had no choice but to quickly become stronger.
'Yes. Let's keep going like this.'
It was rather good for me that I was not that social, I was able to skip all the events and trivial birthday banquets, so I was able to devote all my time to training myself.
However, even in the midst of such training, I couldn't help but think about Adilun from time to time.
'What would my fiancée, who hates me so much, be doing now?'

"Adilun, You should prepare to go to the center sooner or later."
