Eric Lacerta's.
He came from a fairly prominent noble family in the Delyth Country.
He was the only child of the Lacerta family, a Duke family with a long standing reputation and family tree in the Kingdom of Delyth.
Because Eric was the only child of that family. Of course he would be a successor who would take the place of a Duke in the future.
Hence. He grew up with care and luxury. But unfortunately, it actually makes Eric a spoiled child and often do something he wants without caring about it is wrong or not.
Especially since Eric was ordered by his father to be good friends with the Crown Prince of the kingdom of Delyth in order to maintain the closeness between the Duke Lacerta family and the Royal family.
His behavior is becoming more and more so. Eric becomes the person favored by the Crown Prince because of their nature of having some similarities and being a good friend.
And the most memorable thing for Eric was when he joined the Son of an ordinary ministry in one part of the Royal Palace of Delyth with the Crown Prince.
That was Evan Delyth. Although he was the son of a King and at the same time the half-brother of the Crown Prince.
But it does not cover the fact that from the child there is the blood of a lowly ministry flowing in his body.
They often bully Evan together without anyone's knowledge. And though it was known to the King, they did not receive any reprimand and their bullying became more and more day by day.
But one day. Something strange is happening.
When they were about to play Evan as they always did, for the first time Evan Delyth who always received whatever treatment they did against them and immediately they were shocked by the strength of Evan unknown all this time and instantly they have suffered quite a severe injury.
And of course they don't let that happen. They soon came to the Crown Prince's own father and complained to them of Evan's treatment and hoped to demand that Evan recompense.
However, this was not in line with what they expected.
The King did not mind it as if he did not care and instead defended Evan Delyth and treated him better, compared to his treatment that seemed to not care all this time.
And not long after that. The name Evan Delyth is increasingly recognized by many as a skilled young genius.
Not only has the power of a great meeting at his young age. He had also been secretly forming connections and various businesses whose names were disguised to not attract too much unnecessary attention.
And when Evan has enough power to survive the King's influence.
For some reason, he plunged straight into the social world of the nobles and revealed his true self which he had been hiding all along.
Perhaps that was the reason why the King could do nothing. Because, whatever the King did, Evan had controlled most of the economic flows in Delyth State during this time.
Slowly and surely, he formed his strength to endure from people little by little all this time.
And if the King does something to Evan, it will mess up and make the economic flow in his country go nuts and maybe out of control.
And rather than that, now the King became more interested in Evan because he had the strength and also the ingenuity that he had been hiding all along.
And not long time has passed. Duke Lacerta's family is in decline. It was because the Lacerta family already did not have any power and influence in the Delyth country.
Not just that thing. The Lacerta family also had a bad reputation among the nobles and commoners.
Bad rumors circulating, debts that accumulate and so on make Eric now forced to live a life that is inversely proportional to the luxurious life he experienced before.
He also could not ask for help from the Crown Prince. Because the current situation in the upper class society became chaotic as most Nobles questioned the current Crown Prince who was incompetent and also behaved unsightly.
They even preferred Evan Delyth and appointed and presented himself as a competent successor candidate and also possessed outstanding strength.
And worse than all that. Eric remembered the day he left his residence. Eric meets Evan.
'Don't you think it's over. I remember the faces of everyone who treated me badly. And I usually reply to them so many times that they think it's better to die and end their lives right then and there. And you, there are among those I remember that ....'

.
Eric would never forget the cold stare that gave people those goosebumps.
And now, he saw the exact same gaze as that gaze.
But this time it came from a woman whom even Eric had underestimated before.
“Good. Enough trials ....” said the woman as she looked at her groaning in pain, “Then it's time to finish all this.”
Soon after that. The woman held Rapier beside her as the parcel approached Eric with an evil grin painted on her face.
“Eekk!!”
Unknowingly Eric was screaming in fear. He did not feel any lies in the woman's words.
The woman seriously wanted to kill him right now.
Wh-what am I supposed to do?
Eric's panicked. Find a way to save yourself from this situation.
And at that moment Eric remembered something and immediately reached for the small bag he always carried with him wherever he went.
A box he picked up and immediately in a panic he opened the box.
Looking at the pretty fancy box in Eric's hands, the woman .. or rather Ariel was curious and stopped to see what Eric was going to take out.
It was two balls that were probably larger in size than a grape bound by a golden rope that connected the two balls. In the middle of the rope was a ring that might fit a finger.
It was the last treasure the Duke Lacerta family had to guard.
It is said that it is a holy weapon made by heroes from the second generation and has been guarded by the Lacerta family as spoils of war.
Looking at the holy weapon, Ariel's eyes were round and dumbfounded from a distance while flatly expressing.
“....”
Seeing this, Eric finds a hope that he can turn things around.
Hahaha .. surely he was afraid, to such surprise.
Eric makes a winning grin and gets ready to use that holy weapon.
Connect ....
