(Um, Sorry) I've Been Reincarnated (Web Novel)

Chapter 018 - It's Good I'm Betrayed (First Part)

TN: 2 more.

AN: Fourth this morning…..!!

I was surprised. My heart was beating really fast.

It’s all thanks to you readers!

Really really thank you!

My writing is still bad but yoroshiku onegaishimasu.

It was me who agreed for him to be the tutor, but he seemed to come from a really problematic family.

Home tutor — Was he planning to use the role of an educator as a connection to the Beryl’s House, or, he just took notice of what a shameful performance I put up at the party and wanted to put me right….

Since it was all unclear at the moment, the only thing I was certain was that he would really be teaching me. Being 3 years old, I did not think he would be flattering me.

…It must be so. No, if I didn’t believe in that I could not go on.

The person who took care of Father must be someone of a higher rank so I took pity and agreed, I could not possibly take it back now…

It would be so uncool.

Since that day, I visited Father’s office and asked to borrow some documents about my tutor’s family for information…

I could not back off here! I had to do it properly! Do not turn into a wimp!

The man who expressed his deep desire to become my home tutor this time was John Veltor.

He seemed to be the 2nd son of Viscount Veltor but as he had already abandoned his family name, I did not see any connections he had with his family now. Now, he was doing research in the Royal Court as a researcher and scholar. He also seemed to hold a position as an assistant.

But, the problem was Veltor’s House.

The present head of the family was John’s father, and it seemed that the next head was decided to be his older brother. The territory they ruled was one that had the heaviest tax in the entire nation. That was poor judgment no matter who looked at it. Plus, they squandered money away like water. Luxurious furnishings, branded clothing, gemstones. As for food, they only ate meat of the highest grade.

What an irony, when you compared the pointless gaudiness of the residence with the worn-out village.

According to Father’s documents, villagers from Veltor’s territory moving over (here) had been increasing yearly.

What a picture perfect example of a heinous noble.

I closed my open mouth, looking at such cliche villains. It seemed that they had connections with the black market and dealt with slave trading as well.

Did John Veltor abandon his family after seeing all that? Or, despite being the 2nd son, possessed the ambition for greatness and reached for the Royal Court?

I definitely wanted to think that it was the former. Without thinking, I shuddered.

And because of that, Father asked if I could read all that documents and I panicked.

With ” Because everybody often read pictures books to me. “, I managed to pull one over his eyes.

Father’s sharp.

And so, I was very nervous about this home tutor.

That man, was coming right now.

….Ah…This was so worrying…You didn’t really need to come you know? Yep.
