Chapter 170: 170
The noble society might not be familiar with their family name due to their commoner status, but the Asterrix family is renowned in the merchant society. Additionally, they hold the position of head of the Merchant Alliance and have an extensive network of information.
That's the reason Altron and his siblings are wary of their youngest brother because of his maternal family's background that is too much perfect that can be considered as suspicious.

When Lady Aryna died from an unknown cause, the Asterrix Family didn't meddle into what happen, and they didn't attend the funeral of their eldest child, which they found it suspicious as well.
When their father ordered to find their whereabouts, they can find no traces about the Asterrix family.
It's been five years since Lady Aryna died and the Asterrix family didn't even show their presence within the Stellarus Empire, and no one knows about their whereabouts.
As if someone deliberately erased their existence within this world because no matter how hard they tried to find them, it went all for naught.
This is the reason the main family couldn't help but to be on guard whenever their youngest is within the vicinity because they couldn't get the feeling that if they did something to the youngest out of recklessness, they might put themselves in danger.
And now their father told them that their mother, the Marchioness, would be the one who would confront their youngest brother?
In the middle of the night? Is Father insane?
However, orders are orders. They don't have a choice but to follow.
'I just hope that nothing will happen. Right?'

After he left the dining hall, he immediately when back to his room and dismissed all the servants who served him because he didn't want another rat to meddle in his business, anyway.
'Tsk! You can't trust the surrounding people, especially in this Manor. What do you expect? These are the people who served under the Marquis Chevalier household, especially the main family. It makes sense since I am not part of this family and will never be.'
Eclipse thought as he roamed around in his room and thought of a way to punish that insolent servant who was a rat that infiltrated into this household.
He might no longer hold the name of Chevalier since from the moment he became a world-hopper and disregard that identity, he is still the third young master of the Chevalier household, whether he is an illegitimate child or not.
Since this would be the last time, he will take advantage of his status as the third young master anyway as he didn't want to be entangled with this household any longer.
'Who would have thought I would meet that person here, and she is in disguise? I should take care of her immediately and cleaned this messed up.'
While walking around, he stopped for a second right in front of the full-body size mirror as he inspected his appearance and after that; he clicked on his tongue and frowns at it.
'Aside from the fact that I couldn't awaken the Chevalier's proud bloodline, another reason I'm labeled as a disgrace to this household. I am totally an outsider, as my appearance alone differs completely from the main family.'
As he kept looking at the mirror, he saw himself had a strawberry-colored hair that he inherited from his biological mother, and only his cyan-colored eyes are the only ones he inherited from his father since his overall appearance is almost similar to his dear mother.
If Eclipse were born as a woman, there is no doubt he would become a carbon-copy of his dear mother.
He diverted his attention from the mirror, as he didn't want to be reminded of his deceased mother.
Even though the millennium years had passed from his world-hopping journey, he might meet different maternal figures, good and evil ones, Eclipse would still prefer his biological mother from this world. The first woman he loved the most. His dear mother.
Aryna Asterrix. Eclipse might have forsaken his identity, but he wouldn't have forsaken his dear mother, who was with him and stayed by his side until her last breath.
However, it would be a lie if he said that he didn't resent her dear mother a little for leaving him behind and fend for himself, but Eclipse couldn't stay mad at her that long.
He just… felt betrayed. That's all.
There were times he was afraid that he might forget what his dear mother looks like because of the millennium years of world-hopping and his memories might deteriorate from all those years.
However, his mother's beautiful appearance, her gentle smiles, her soothing voice, and warm cuddles are still vivid in his mind for some reason.
Eclipse had mostly forgotten about his life in his original world since he felt no attachment to it, but only the memory of his beloved mother remains in his mind and heart and nothing else.
But when he opened his eyes and came to this world, most of the tragic memories from his previous life finally resurfaced one by one, but most of them are vague memories that he wished he won't have it.
After that, he discovered that he went back to his 15-year-old body and from what he vaguely remembered, it's summer break right now from the academy and after a month, he will attend once again at Lumen Academy is his sophomore year.
'As if I would attend that hellish academy! Give me a break!'
As soon as he opened his eyes after being transported back here, the transfer of the world plot to his mind happened immediately, as it usually does whenever he world-hops from another worldline.
The only downside of this is that Silver, his system guide and he considered as his companion, wasn't on his side anymore.
He felt empty when his usual companion wasn't on his side anymore, but he remembered from Red, one of the higher councils of the World-Hopping Department that he would just place here temporarily, so he didn't dwell too much about it.
'I just hope that I won't be staying in this world for too long as I don't want to be part of this sh*t world plot anymore. I had enough in my previous life, so my role had already finished.'
