Reborn As Noble

”Now all I need to do is give this one to Athine. Thank you, little brother.”

”Mm. Just make sure you don’t give it to anyone else. Well...” Javier shrugged. ”It’s not like anyone else could really do anything with it even if they tried. The mana signature is locked to the user, and the tech is encrypted. Trying to copy it would be... messy.”

Javier stood up and glanced at Liana, Gloria, Felicia, Delya, and Mimi. ”I’m going for a moment. Don’t worry, it won’t take long.”

”Mm... okay, Young Master.” Liana smiled and nodded gracefully.

Gloria nudged her glasses. ”Don’t be too late.”

”I won’t.” Javier smirked. ”I’m just going to meet my sister...” He pointed toward Aelius. ”This brother of mine’s future wife.”

Felicia smiled shyly. ”We... we’ll wait here.”

Delya, with her usual dreamy expression, nodded softly. ”Okay, Danna-sama~”

Mimi tilted her head, her tail swaying curiously. ”Nya? Can I come with you?”

”Eh?” All of Javier’s girls turned toward Mimi. ”Why?”

”Nya? Nothing. Just feeling like it.”

Liana exhaled softly. ”No... the Young Master won’t be long. Just eat your meal.”

”Eh? Fine...” Mimi pouted slightly but settled back into her seat.

Javier chuckled softly and turned his eyes toward Aelius. ”Don’t try anything funny with my girls.”

Aelius shook his head, a faint smile on his lips. ”Do you think I’m interested in anyone other than Athine?”

”Oh, right.” Javier casually shrugged. ”I won’t be long. You all eat first.”

Javier glanced around at his girls.

Should I bring Liana?

Hmm... if I bring her, everyone will want to join.

Better not. Besides, Aelius is here to keep an eye on things.

Javier started to walk, weaving gracefully through the crowd. The courtyard was a sea of color and elegance, filled with Armand staff, military officers, high-ranking merchants, and distinguished guests, all dressed in their finest for the royal wedding.

As he passed, they all bowed politely.

”Your Highness.”

One of the high merchant’s daughters, dressed in a lavish gown, was about to approach him, but stopped when several maids subtly moved to flank Javier, their presence both respectful and protective.

Javier just flashed his charming smile and waved toward a group of young women gathered in one area, daughters of wealthy merchants, high-ranking officers, and noble families from across Armand and Arjam, who blushed and waved back excitedly, their eyes sparkling with admiration.

Overhead, several of Armand’s new broadcasting staff carefully adjusted floating mana-cams, capturing every angle of the ceremony. The event was being broadcast live across the entire Armand Nation, displayed on large, shimmering holo-screens in town squares, village centers, and public halls. Feasts and celebrations were being held simultaneously in communities everywhere, turning the wedding into a joyful, nationwide event.

Ah~ It’s nice to be reborn too handsome in this world.

Everywhere I go, there are fans waiting.

Glad I was born into a noble family... ah, no... a royal family now~ Ehehehe...

I remember back when I was a baby in this world. I always thought becoming a noble would be a pain in the ass, and I wasn’t interested to begin with.

Well... it was a pain in the ass before.

But since Armand is different from other noble families back then...no, even now. I guess that’s the best part of it.

Other nobles are raised to be entitled, arrogant, and detached. They’re taught to look down on people, to see power as a tool for control, not protection. They’re pampered into uselessness.

But here? Father raised us to be strong, yes, but also responsible. To respect the people who serve us, to understand the weight of leadership, and to use our privilege to build something better, not just to enjoy it.

That’s the difference. That’s why I don’t mind the attention, the expectations, or even the responsibility. Because here, it means something.

Well... I don’t mind it anymore. I’m actually enjoying it now, the attention, the influence, the ability to make real changes. It feels less like a burden and more like a role I was meant to play.

Just the ”heir” thing... that’s not really what I want. But whatever.

I have less than two years, and I still have time to find a way to make Father live longer, stay younger.

I did visit that place before, but the thing they call the Tree of Life only bears fruit once every ten years. The last fruit won’t ripen again until I’m twenty-three.

No way I’m going to wait until I’m twenty-three. Father’s set for me to inherit the title the moment I turn 18.

And once that’s done, there’s no revoking it. I’m sure I’ll be buried in paperwork.

Two days of paperwork I can handle, even if it’s painful.

But every day? Like Father?

No way.

The fairies did tell me about another Tree of Life somewhere within Armand’s territory. But they said the area was dangerous.

But is it really?

Why would the fairies say it’s dangerous?

Does that mean Father knows about this place?

Is it crawling with monsters I’ve never seen before? Never fought?

Javier felt a rush of adrenaline and excitement.

Hehehe~

This means my boring life is about to end~

Ah~ I can’t wait.

I have to start planning today.

And since I don’t know how dangerous this area is...

I don’t think I should bring the girls with me without being properly prepared.

I did send my scout drones to survey the mentioned area, but the drones equipped with the strongest magic barriers, vanished. Just like that.

Even the mana satellite, which can survey from above with crystal clarity, couldn’t penetrate it. The area is shrouded by a strange, persistent cloud cover that deflects all scans.

The Sky Eyes drones met the same fate, they couldn’t even get close.

I wonder what’s there?

Alright~ Once the wedding is done...

Especially Aelius and Athine’s wedding in the next three days.

First, I’m going to claim Delya and Mimi’s virginity. Make them officially mine.

After that, I’ll give them the engagement necklaces.

Ah... and those ’celestial girls’ inside Liana and Gloria, too. They’re also mine, right? Since they mentioned that once they’re bonded to Liana and Gloria, they also belong to the man who becomes their partner.

Guess that’s another two girls’ virginity for me to claim.

Perhaps I should visit the special training room first. Make sure everyone is prepared so I can bring all of them along safely.

Or maybe I should invent an Armored Magic Wagon, something to protect all my girls during the journey.

Alright! The plan is set! I’ll make it work and find those Life Fruits~
