I Just want a Peaceful life

Few days after Angus medicated his father, he wore a troublesome noble attire and on the way towards the nobles gathering with Vergil.

As for his older brother Jason, he already went first since he didn't want to interact with Angus. Angus himself didn't mind this kind of behaviour and prefer it this way since he could avoid many troublesome incidents.

Opposite of Jason, Vergil truly cares about his younger brother that sometimes quite annoys Angus himself even now.

"Angus, this will be your first time to participate in the official gathering like this. You need to… " As Vergil kept lecturing Angus.

While Angus himself only listens to it with a lazy response like, "Ehem.. Yeah.. That's right."

For Angus this kind of gathering is just a waste of time. From someone that experiences living in a fast paced modern world like earth, this kind of gathering is a waste of a lot of time.

Especially knowing that there is already hidden danger from the monster horde and the recent birth of monster overlord. Rather than flaunting one glory to others, it will be better to use the time for training or doing something more productive.

In Angus's case he prefers to just sleep around than attend this gathering. If not because his brother's nagging, he will already excuse himself by faking sickness or something.

Later, they arrive at the royal palace where the noble's gathering will be held. The royal palace itself is very huge and grand.

Looking from inside the carriage, 'Why are the doors so uselessly huge? Are those doors being used by giants or something? Well, none of that is my problem anyway.' Thought Angus inwardly while looking at the huge main entrance door.

Soon, The two brothers queue to be checked up before entering the royal palace. After the long queue that seems like forever, they managed to enter without hassle.

During the queue some people already notice the two brothers, especially Vergil. Although he is still in teenage age, he is quite famous in the noble's circle for being the son of Duke Victory.

Vergil is quite a smart kid that tends to kind with the others. Moreover, he is also quite prodigy in combat as a magician and fighter.

Then, we enter a grand hall that is not only vast but also ridiculously big.

Looking at the interior of the hall, 'This reminds me of some churches on Earth. But, this is way too big for the human.' Thought Agnus inwardly

Entering the hall, some kids approach Vergil, Agnus decides to excuse himself by taking some food and drink nearby.

The gathering is divided into two sections. One is for adults and the other is for kids and teenagers to interact.

Unlike Vergil, noble children in this world could be quite annoying and spoiled. Especially, the one that knows your weakness. They could bully you like some kind of mindless animal that will try to always bully or hound you using everything he got.

The only reason nobody touches Angus until now is because Angus is the son of Duke Victory. But, that didn't mean they could not do anything to Angus.

Using his enhanced perception, Angus knows that many people already talk behind his back. Some even bold enough to not cover their voice when talking about him in this gathering.

Rather than pay attention to these brats, he decided to just hide presence until the gathering was done. Unfortunately, he could not leave early as he needed to greet the crown prince as it is part of noble etiquette.

As the host of the gathering, it is also normal for him to be the one that last arrived. So, Angus had plenty of time before he could go back home.

'Guess I will hide presence first. This way some people may not notice me.' As Angus slowly blends with the crowd while thinning his presence.

In his past life, where fighting, killing, and destroying is prohibited by law, it is quite hard for martial experts to continue. So, they adapted to the new line of work. '

The majority of them become a high paid bodyguard. But, the most productive job is to become an assassin. Martial artists didn't need any kind of weapon to kill someone and could get away safely using their skill.

Because of this, Angus also learned many skills to hide his presence like an assassin especially in this kind of crowd. Although, high level people still could detect him but his skill is enough to trick the kids that may annoy him.

Although Angus could ignore them, As the ex-strongest person on Earth, he never could ignore when his pride is being humiliated.

Especially if his pride is truly humiliated in front of a lot of people. For angus, a man without pride and mind is the same as a mindless beast.

Since childhood of his past life he has been lectured by his previous master, 'the way of martial artist fight is almost the same like a beast. Because of this, never lose the pride you have as a human.' 𝗳𝐫𝘦e𝘸𝗲𝚋𝓃𝚘v𝘦𝘭.𝑐𝒐m

A perfectly sane mind will never try to kill and fight among each other. They will negotiate with each other rather than talk using their fists. So, The only one that distinguishes martial artists and beast itself is the pride of being human.

Taking this pride from the martial artist means he is no longer being a human but a beast. Although, there are many loopholes and illogical thinking in this principal but Angus also agrees to this way of thinking.

It's not because he completely agrees with this teaching. But, because whenever he fights, his demeanor changes into a wild beast.

The only way to restraint this act is by having a clear sense of pride of being human. That's one of the reasons why martial artists on earth are famous for being arrogant.

Of course, he has some tolerance and will not always fight anyone that humiliated his pride but he still has limits. Remembering all of this, he couldn't help letting out a crazy smile.

'Haa.. Did I just imagine butchering all these people using my skills? Guess this place really could wake up my inner beast.' Thought Angus silently

Ever since he returned to practice and his martial art, his lust for battle has increased. Although, it is not to the point to cloud his judgement but it is still quite annoying as it is also part of him.

Then, he decided to get some fresh air to calm his mind and go towards an empty garden. Inside the garden, "Fiuhh… This is why I always like garden. It really calms my mind."

At this moment, he somehow could feel a weak presence in the garden, "Who's there? y-you are Angus. Why are you here?"
