A God Killed Me By Accident, But I Reincarnated As The 4th Son Of The Marquis

”Eh?” Nephele’s eyes were raised during breakfast; she stared down at her plate.

”What’s the matter, Nephele?” Keith questioned with a grin plastered on his face. 

”I feel like there’s something different with the eggs today.” The reason for her off expression was because of the eggs she ate. 

”Mmhmm. There is something different with it.” Cadmus nodded. A different taste? Sort of. 

”Is it good or bad?”

”It’s not bad, but it feels different from the other eggs you cooked.” A subtle difference. Its taste was slightly saltier than the other times, but she didn’t mind. 

”What about you, Grandpa Cadmus.”

”It’s good. I don’t mind having it every day.” Cadmus ate another egg. 

”That’s great. Because I’m not the one who cooked those eggs.” 

”Wait, what?” Cadmus blinked. 

”Who was the one who cooked it then?” Keith was the only cook on this island. 

”I did,” Diana grinned. 

”You’re the one who cooked it?!” Cadmus stared at the perfect sunny-side-up egg. But then he turned to Keith, ”Are you playing with us right now?!” 

”No. Diana was the one who did it.” Keith asserted again.

”That’s amazing.” 

”It’s only because of your help.”

”The only thing you need is practice.” Practice always makes perfect.

”Mmhmm,” A beautiful smile formed on Diana’s face as she stared at him. The others gasped at the scene. Too beautiful.

”How about you help me out with breakfast from now on?”

”Sure.” 

...

During class, Keith practiced with Krystal. However, the practice today was especially different from the other times.

”Hah!” Krystal roared as she swung her sword down. With his response, the man raised his shield to guard it.

Shing! With her added power, Keith responded with a stronger push. The two’s clash was so strong that it caused everyone to stop and watch them. That was how dangerous the two were. 

”Hmpf!” Krystal made a fed-up expression as she stabbed. But that caused him to raise his as well. That was enough to cause everyone to shiver. 

”What are you doing?” Keith frowned as he stared at her. But Krystal didn’t stop and continued to attack. That caused Keith to move his shield even faster than before. 

”Enough!” Tennol jumped in between the two. But that was not enough to stop Krystal’s blade, as her body was already in motion. Tennol scoffed as he quickly smacked the sword away. 

”Krystal, you need to stop.” He could tell he was going too far with this. 

”...” Krystal halted her movement. But that didn’t stop her from glaring at Keith. 

”...” Are they going to duke it out? Well, it was more like Krystal was ready while Keith was dazed. 

”Go cool off and sit down.” Krystal could only glance away as she walked back to the side. But when she did, the others made way, not daring to get in her way. 

”You okay?” Keith also asked her the question.  

”...” But there was no response from Keith. 

”Krystal!”

”Hmm!” Krystal looked up at Keith. That expression startled Keith because she was so dazed. But that was only a few seconds before a dark one reappeared, ”Leave me alone.”

”Ah,” Hmpf!” Krystal scoffed as she walked away. Class started off again. 

After class, Keith and Jack walked out, ”You good?”

”Hmm?”

”I meant with Krystal. She tried to kill you.” That was something he had realized. Krystal went for the kill; she wasn’t holding back against him at all. 

”I’m good. I’m more worried about Krystal.”

”Eh?” You’re more worried about the person who tried to kill you? Keith nodded, ”She seemed anxious.”

”Keith.” The two turned around to see it was Tristan. 

”Hello, Tristan. What’s the matter?”

”I need to talk to Keith. Jack, can I have a moment of his time?”

”Jack can’t listen?”

”No, sorry about this.” 

”It’s cool. I’ll see you back at the island.” Jack waved his hand as he brought Knight back home. 

”What do you want to talk about?” For Tristan to tell Jack to leave, it had to be something dangerous. 

”You need to watch out for Krystal.” Tristan was straightforward. 

”Eh? Is there something wrong with her?” Keith blinked. 

”More like something is wrong with her family. Something big happened in her household.”

”Eh? Are you sure you should reveal something like that to me?” For him to spill the beans was more startling. 

”I wouldn’t in most cases. The problem is that you’re a Bradley, and she is a Rustchil.”

”Just because our family doesn’t get along with one another, that doesn’t mean I hate her.” There were three leading powers in the Solis kingdom: one was the royal family, and they were the leading powers of the Solis kingdom. 

Following the royal family came the two grand dukes. Ruling over the east was the Golden Lion, the Bradley family. The South was ruled by the Silver Wolf, the Rustchil family. The two families’ strengths were equal, causing them to be rivals. 

”That’s exactly why I’m telling you this.” Keith had no care about things like this. That’s precisely why he was warning him before he did anything stupid. 

”Be prepared for big news.”
