Weaver Household, Library…
Justin is standing in front of Gregory with a serious expression on his face.
“So… Justin. I can sense mana in your body, that means you can use magic once again ?” Gregory asked with a neutral expression as he looked at him.
“Yes, Father. I just felt it inside my body about three days ago and suddenly, I was able to use magic again.” Justin replied as he looked at Gregory with a neutral expression.
“Well that’s good for you. I am sure that you’ve had the thought of getting back in the successor race of this house.” Gregory spoke with a neutral expression as he looked at Justin.
As soon as Justin heard this… He felt his heart skipping a beat but he immediately calmed himself down and focused.
“That thought really entered inside my mind, Father,” Justin spoke as he looked at Gregory with a neutral expression.
“Hmm… I know-”
“But, I don’t think I want it as much as brother Jamie and as the oldest brother, he should get it.
I am thinking of going out of the house for a while and find out my potential. The things that I can do after I have gained back my ability to use magic.” Justin replied with a neutral expression.
“Intresting… Why would you want Jamie to be the leader of this house ? Didn’t you see what he just did outside ?” Gregory asked with a confused expression.
“Well, he is a a bit hot headed and he did try to kill his wife but he is the only and the best option you have right now, Father.
Since you have already kicked out second brother, third brother is also not eligible and I don’t want to become the family head.
So, that only leaves you with one choice and that is Jamie.” Justin replied with a neutral expression.
“What makes you think, I won’t make you the Family head just because you don’t want to ?” Gregory asked as he looked at Justin with a smile.
“Because I don’t want to become the family head, Father. I mean, why would you make me the family head when you have three other sons before me ?” Justin asked with a confused expression.
“As you said, first one is a hot head, second one is out of the house, third one is just a stupid drunk and that leaves only one choice… The fourth son and that’s you, Justin.” Gregory spoke as he looked at Justin.
“Umm… Are you making me the Family Head, right now sir ?” Justin asked with a confused expression.
“I am old… I can’t manage this house forever, Son. When I released all that Aura out of my body, all my bones started to feel sore and pain started to build up.
Age is catching upto me and I had no choice but to make either Jamie or Jim the leader of this house.
But, listening to your wise talk about your brothers and your confidence in front of me today has totally changed my mind.
You were always the smart one Justin, it was your physical condition that was stopping you from becoming the perfect candidate for the successor’s position.
So, Yes… On the first day of the upcoming spring, you will be announced as the new head of the weaver household and you will also be engaged to the first daughter of the Vanguard Household.
Now, I don’t want you to go around and spreading this news. Keep it to yourself and you also did a very good job in sending me that letter today. I am proud of you son and I expect you to do your best in managing this Household and maintaining it’s glory.” Gregory spoke with a smile as he placed his hand over Justin’s left shoulder and left the room after that.

As soon as Gregory exited the room, he noticed Leon standing outside with a neutral expression on his face.
“Who are you, Kid ?” Gregory asked with a confused expression.
“I am master Justin’s new butler, Sir.” Leon replied as he slightly bowed to him.
“Hmm… I see.” Gregory replied as he walked away immediately.
’Hmm…? Did he suspected something ?’ Leon thought with a confused expression.

“Mr. Leon, come in fast.” Justin spoke in a low voice as he opened the library’s gate.
“Hmm…?” Leon immediately stepped inside the library and Justin closed the gates.
“I am not really that type of guy, Justin. I am more interested in girls if-” Before Leon could’ve completed his sentence, Justin started dancing in a very weird way.
“Okay… That’s even more weird. What the fuck happened here ? Did you tell your father about Jim’s girlfriend and that she has seen everything with her own eyes and your mother too ?” Leon asked with a confused expression.
“My father will make me the leader of this house on the first day of upcoming spring about one and a half month from now on, Mr. Leon.
I am also getting engaged to the first daughter of the Vanguard Household. Oh, I am so happy… It’s like my heart is about to explode.” Justin spoke as he continued his dance. fre\e(w)ebn ov.e l\. co.m
“Wait… So, the rest of my plan went to shit ?” Leon asked with a confused expression.
“Umm… I guess so. I was talking Just like you taught me, but before I could’ve completed my part, my father started talking… one thing led to another and now I will be the leader of the weaver household.
I am really Happy, Mr. Leon. It was something impossible without you. I can never thank you enough. Can I hug you ? I am really excited.” Justin spoke as he opened his hands to hug Leon, but Leon immediately stopped him.
“Men don’t hug unless one of them is dead or they just came out from death’s grasp. You understand that ?” Leon replied with a serious expression.
“I-I see.” Justin spoke as he immediately stepped back and calmed down a bit.
“You can’t get too excited about this, Justin. Don’t forget that if this news leaks to Jamie or anyone else, you will be on target.
People will try to kidnap you or even kill you. So, keep your face’s expressions calm.” Leon spoke with a serious expression.
“I-I understand, Sir.” Justin replied with a serious expression.
“Good… Since I am done with you for now. I will see you on the day of your wedding or if I need some favour.
Until then, keep your life safe and send me a letter if you feel something wrong with you or around you.” Leon spoke with a serious expression.
“Yes, Sir.” Justin replied with a serious expression.
“Now… I will take my leave.” Leon spoke as he started walking towards the door.
“Mr. Leon…” Justin called from behind.
“What ?” Leon asked turning around with a confused expression.
“You are no less than a big brother to me. Please don’t hesitate to ask me any number of favours.” Justin spoke with a smile.
’Hah… He still can’t understand that I only made him the leader of this house for my own profit.
Well, whatever.’ Leon thought with a neutral expression as he nodded his head and started to leave but suddenly he remembered something.
“Hey Justin… Do you know something about the incident that happened on the truvale checkpost a while ago ?” Leon asked as he looked at Justin.
“Truvale Checkpost ? Oh you mean the mass murder of the soldiers by some unknown entity.” Justin replied.
“Unknown entity ? What do you mean by that ?” Leon asked with a confused expression.
“Oh you see… The Royal family has covered that incident by saying that it was monster wave that killed all of them but in one of the letters that I read somedays ago, my father has written that the mass murder of those soldiers was done by an unknown identity.” Justin explained.
“An unknown entity huh ? Do you know something about this entity ?” Leon asked with a confused expression.
“Unfortunately not, Sir Leon. But maybe the Royal Family knows something about it.” Justin replied with a neutral expression.
“Fine… I will see you on the first day of spring. Alive, I hope.” Leon replied with a neutral expression as he left the room after that.

*Thud*
As soon as Leon left the room, Justin started doing his weird dance once again.
…
Leon went to the kitchen and noticed Adeline taking off the the collars from the servant’s necks.
“Tch… Tch.” Leon let out a small voice from his voice.
Adeline immediately turned around and noticed Leon standing outside the kitchen.
“Wait a second… I will be back.” Adeline spoke as she immediately walked outside the kitchen.
“What happened ?” Adeline asked with a confused expression.
“Keep an eye on Justin until spring comes.” Leon spoke with a serious expression.
“What ? Why ?” Adeline asked with a confused expression.
“I will tell you later.” Leon spoke as he left through the kitchen’s backdoor.
