Chapter 2 — Those Who Fan the Flames

Gray clouds covered the sky, covering the sparkling stars and the moonlight. An angry voice rang out of Viscount Romaine’s manor in the noble district within the royal capital. It had been around a month since Mario Romaine died in a back alley in Pireus.

Rage still consumed his father, Viscount Romaine.

“It’s all nonsense! Why did my son have to die? Why?!” yelled Viscount Romaine as he aggressively picked up a bottle of wine and drank.

Only a few drops fell into his mouth since the bottle was empty. When he realized this, he threw it as hard as he could against the wall.

“Dammit! Everyone just walks all over me! Who do they think I am?! I’m the master of House Romaine, a name which has long preceded the Kingdom of Rhoadseria!”

Sounds of destruction filled the room. The wine bottles, which all had received the same fate as the one just before, formed a pile on the floor near the wall. Viscount Romaine slammed his fists on the desk ro release some frustration. His heart burned with rage toward Ryoma Mikoshiba and the despair from the death of his son.

Viscount Romaine knew he would soon burn out if he did nothing about the flames inside him. And so he used alcohol as his water to quell the flames. But the viscount could not extinguish a fire that anger and despair had fueled. No matter how much alcohol he drank, it didn’t change the present, and the thought tormented him.

“So he humiliated some lowly commoners, what of it?! What’s wrong with us nobles, who have dignified blood running through our veins, having some fun?! Then he goes ahead and kills my son... No, the heir of House Romaine! Does he think my son’s life matches that of a mere street rat?!” The ranting man fixated on being a superior yet filled with resentment. If someone in modern society overheard this, they would verbally attack Viscount Romaine. The situation resembled politicians or cabinet ministers calling their nation’s people livestock or slaves in the present.

Had his tirade had been recorded and leaked on the internet, it would be the end of his career as a politician. In a worst-case scenario, he might be subject to paying a huge sum of compensation, making it difficult for him to lead an ordinary life. That was the point of view a modern-day person would have, at least. In reality, Viscount Romaine didn’t need to worry about commoners being angry or hating him after hearing what he had said. He didn’t fear them retaliating either. Commoners were nothing but subjects of taxation in his eyes, tools that supported his life of luxury.

While his rage consumed him, he didn’t reflect or regret how others judged his son. He accused others, shifting the blame off himself onto other external factors. But that wasn’t to say that Viscount Romaine was a piece of trash. Many nobles within the upper echelons of the Kingdom of Rhoadseria felt sympathy for him and defended him.
