Loser's redo: Transmigration in a novel

Chapter 24 The Melvix Family?



Zick could easily figure out their rank just with a glance.

The third son of the Velscar family, Denis is in the low rank knight stage.

Then the one and only daughter of the Velscar family, Searre is a lowest rank knight.

Searre in the novel was nothing but a hindrance to the protagonist in Zick's eyes, she would never kill a person who she deem as not guilty enough. Which led to the rise of one problem after another in the future.

She would never compromise in her principal until the middle of the novel where she changed a little because of an incident Which put all the harem members and the protagonist himself in a deadly situation.

But Zick wasn't interested about what happens to her, what annoyed him in the novel was that she would not let anyone else kill the person she deems not guilty enough, even the protagonist.

When Searre entered the academy, she was a  middle rank knight and at that time the protagonist was still a lowest rank knight. Though there were stronger people than her in the first year they would most of the time ignore her.

Which led to people weaker than her listening to her, both because of the strength and prestige of being the daughter of a Duke.

Zick couldn't even understand why there was such a character in the novel while reading it.

When the magic disaster hit the academy at the end of the first year and everyone was teleported all around the world, Zick earnestly wished for Searre to die somehow.

But unluckily, she survived and even reunited with the protagonist after a while.

While Zick was thinking of Searre, all the people within the hall were talking about him.

"He is a middle rank knight....?"

All of them either could tell his rank themselves or got to know it from their attendant. A lot of people grew jealous but they never showed it on their faces.

Even if they were jealous, what could they do?

Nothing!

He is the son of a Duke, they couldn't do anything against him. Only an idiot would go around provoking a Duke.

Zick had not brought anyone with him for protection as he had the cat with him.

What can the knights do when compared to this mythical beast cat in Zick's lap?

The person who was the most surprised in the hall was Duke Garcia, who stood on the high platform with his daughter. The platform was higher than the floor to let everyone look clearly at them.

Duke Garcia right at the moment had his usual cold face and looked at Zick with interest in his eyes.

Though he was the one who held this ceremonial party he didn't need to pay respect or greet anyone at all.

This is the power of the Duke, he just held the party because it is necessary and he wanted his daughter to get some experience with people.

He had already gotten a report from the leader of the knight brigade, Verse.

So he was aware of Zick being a middle rank knight and the presence of a master assassin protecting him.

'hmph....that's much like the Melvix family'

The Garcia family and the Melvix family aren't in a bad relationship but they are still political competitors.

Both of the families only strive for the benefit of their own families. The novel described Duke Garcia in just a few word but it totally showed the kind of person he was-

[ "He is a nobleman who doesn't tolerate even a single scratch on his family's name more than his own blood"]

Right now, The Duke was surprised looking at the black cat on Zick's lap. It was the mythical beast which protected his family's estate for centuries.

After becoming the head of the family he got to know all the necessary things he needed to know about the contract.

After he got to know that the cat can't harm the Garcia family, he had totally ignored its existence. Though he couldn't order it around and only let it protect the family's estate, it was still satisfying enough.

But right at the moment the cat which he had thought of not liking to stay near anyone was laying there like a normal tamed cat.

His lip twitched for a second looking at it, but in the end he just ignored it.

A contract cannot be broken once made.

And the contract made between the cat and the Garcia family was even more stricter.

This mythical beast had to protect the estate as long as any of the bloodline of the Garcia family was alive.

Taking up a bottle filled with red liquid, Zick poured its content into the glass. There were several bottles of drink on the table beside this one. The one He picked up is a famous juice of this world.

It is made of a fruit named Fermond which is only found in this world.

Zick picked a juice as he didn't like drinking wine in either of the world. While drinking the Fermond juice, two figures entered his view.

'hmm.....why are they coming this way?'

Zick could see Searre and Denis heading towards where he is sitting. There was also a butler following behind them.

Not being able to sense his presence, Zick knew that the butler was stronger than him.

Standing in front of Zick, Denis started speaking courteously.

"It's nice to meet you, my name is Denis Velscar"

"....Zick Melvix"

Denis was unsatisfied by Zick's curt reply and that he introduced himself while sitting. Because of their sharp eyes it almost felt like they were glaring at Zick.

Denis was able to hide his dissatisfaction but Searre couldn't hide what she felt at all.

"Is that how you greet someone? Is this what the Melvix Family teaches their heir?"

Searre started asking with an angry face.

"Is that all? if you just came to say this then please leave"

Zick had a smile on his face but the voice coming out from his mouth was cold.

The Melvix family?

Zick didn't care about it at all, in the future he already has planned to leave it. As long as he is in that family he would always be held back in one way or the other.

Though he didn't plan on leaving any time soon, at least until he joined the academy , whatever happened to the Melvix family still didn't have anything to do with him.

'And i don't want to talk to this thick headed women at all'

"What.....?"

Searre had not expected Zick to respond in such a way.

'Can there really be such a shameless person...?
