The Strory Of Mr. Rigels

Chapter 4: The Rejection

The next night the three of us sat down at dinner table, my father was between me and my mother.

We ate the food in front of us, but Benny's words passed through my mind

Not fully aware, yes.

Come to think of what Brother said there is a point. I do not know much about this world, even though I have read the history books of this world. I still don't fully know the world.

That's because Ever since I was born, I haven't felt this world directly, I've only stayed in the mansion for eight years.

There is no guarantee that this world is the same as my home world.

I took the piece of meat I cut and put it in my mouth.

Returning to thinking

But do I have to study martial arts and magic only, is not in this world also another science that can be learned.

But what was in my place were only books related to general military knowledge or magic, which made my reading literacy limited to those things.

Even if I had to ask Dad to buy some books

So, ahh.no I can't conclude a thing just yet.

I put my spoon on the plate and asked my father.

"Dad, can you buy me a book or two related to bureaucracy or something?"

My father quickly answered. "No."

Directly answered without any consideration, right.

Then I asked my father again.

"Why Dad?."

"Dad wants you to follow in your brother's footsteps to become a knight soldier, being a bureaucrat is not a promising job" my father explained

"What's wrong with bureaucrats."

My mother answered my question."Rigel, in this Kingdom being a bureaucrat is considered to be the most sought after occupation after the military."

"What's the problem then."

"If you want to become a bureaucrat then you must renounce your title of status as a noble and be ready to serve for the kingdom."

"It doesn't matter Mom, I can release the stat-"

Bruk!!!.....

My father suddenly hit the table with his hand while holding a spoon, Mom and I were surprised.

Then with his emotions my father yelled at me. "you want to let go of your status easily!!... Rigel!, do you want to humiliate me?!"

"T-no Dad, I'm not b-berma-"

"Rigel!!.., you should know that nobility titles are not easily obtained. Need for high morbidity and devotion to the King. Don't take this title as nonsense!"

My father's anger made me bow my head in silence

My mother tried to calm my Ayaku." Honey, calm down, don't put Rigel under pressure."

"Annie!, you don't interfere. I told you this was the result of overindulging him!"

"....."

The emotions that were clearly drawn on my father's face and his attitude made me not dare to look at his face with my head lowered while saying. "Sorry dad."

For the first time my father was this angry with me, whether this noble stastus was this important to him even made him say such a thing to me.

But I don't understand anything like this, probably because his previous life was different than this one.

***

After dinner I went back to my room, checking the bookshelves not too much.

Ever since that explosion, the books my father had were destroyed, so I had to find a book I could use again. Then the remaining books were only books related to magic.

I picked up a book or two, walking towards my study desk next to my bed. Then open it and read the book.

This book is a basic book on witchcraft.

Not long after I read a few pages of the book, the door of my room opened. When I look back.

"Mother."

My mother saw with a gentle smile, she approached me. "What are you reading?"

"Ah..this." I checked the front cover of the book. "It's not what Mom is, it's just a book about magic."

My mother was standing right next to me holding both of my shoulders.

"You know, Jennie's sister told Mom that you're very serious about reading."

In a sense of awkwardness I replied. "Sir Jennie is just overrated."

My mother smiled as she stroked my head and then she sat in my bed right next to me.

"That's it, but what I saw seemed to be true" my mother teased.

My mother looked around the room and I did the same

My mother saw a bookcase where the bookcase was large enough, but the books stored were not much.

While looking at my mother said. "You see here there's only a book,"

"Mother here also has my clothes and other furniture."

My mother let out a little laugh hearing my response.

"Hehehe... Yeah, it seems so."

"Mother!" shanky

"Yes yes, I understand. "My mom held my head back and her smile turned into a worry.

"Son, what your father said .. don't put it in your heart. I mean, I'd want the best for you. " My mom was stroking my hair.

I could only quietly listen to him, then my mother resumed her words.

"You know, your grandfather and father tried hard to be recognized as nobles, even he was willing to advance on the battlefield to prove his loyalty to the King... " My mother was silent for a moment.

then with a smile on his lips. "...So you should know that gaining the trust of the Kingdom is not easy. If someone has earned that trust then he will have a very noble honor in the eyes of the Kingdom."

"Mother .. what being a noble is mandatory as his successor," I asked with a restless expression

"It's important my son, to keep the name of the family."

"That's it."

My mother then stopped stroking my hair and then approached my face and kissed my forehead on my head.

"Mother?!"

"What's wrong, you're still a kid there's no need to rush."

"Yes Mother" I replied as I raised a slight smile to her.

My mother returned my little smile and stood up.

"Don't read too late, you also have to take care of your health as well."

"Good Mom."

My mother then left my chamber and closed the door slowly.

When the door closed, I went back to reading books, but my intention to read had already decreased. I was then

close the book and put it on the corner of the table.

Next I stood up to the bed, dropped myself on the bed and lay on it, taking a pillow. I covered my face with my arms while slightly talking

"Stupid."
