The Genius and Calamity of the Villainous Noble: A Brilliant Prodigy Unaware of Their Reincarnation as the Game's Antagonist Defies the Scenario and Dominates with Talent and Hard Work - Chapter 2.12
Three Days into Living with Maria.
“Ark! It’s the entrance ceremony today!”
“…Huh? Oh… right…”
Wrapped snugly in my futon, I had been enjoying a peaceful sleep—until Maria’s abrupt intrusion shattered my tranquility.
“Ugh… It’s cold. The entrance ceremony sounds like such a hassle…”
Maria yanked my blanket away, forcing me to sit up, shivering from the sudden chill.
“The Duke of Reinhardt skipping the entrance ceremony? That would be completely unheard of! You need to do this properly!”
“Haah…”
Letting out a long sigh, I forced my heavy eyelids open and stood up.
“Good morning, Maria.”
“Morning.”
“…Where did I put my uniform? The one made for the Duke’s heir?”
“You threw it aside carelessly, so I hung it up properly. Hold on, I’ll go get it.”
“Thanks.”
I watched Maria dash off toward her room, still half-asleep. Shaking off the grogginess, I got myself moving, going through my usual morning routine—washing my face, stretching a bit, and trying to wake up properly.
“Here, I brought your uniform.”
“Thanks.”
As the Duke of Reinhardt, my uniform was a little… special. It was far more extravagant than what the other students wore.
“…I don’t really like how over-the-top it is, but oh well.”
I casually draped the uniform over a chair and sat down.
“Hey! Do you have any idea how much that thing costs?!”
“It’s fine. To my family, that amount is mere pocket change.”
“…Yeah, my family is definitely nothing like yours. Just how rich is a ducal house, anyway?”
“Well, my house has way more wealth than the other dukes. In fact, we have more total assets than an entire kingdom’s treasury.”
“…That’s insane.”
“Heh, that’s the Reinhardt Ducal House for you. Now then… time for breakfast! Thanks for making it again today.”
“Compared to what I owe you, this is nothing. Alright, let’s eat.”
Maria took the seat across from mine.
“Itadakimasu.”
With that, the two of us began our meal.
