Chapter 12: I'm Your Nightmare

"Nope! No! Eugene reached out in pain and held his head with his hands, and screamed.

"Why did you kill me?" The boy known as the elder brother took strange steps and slowly moved towards Eugene.

"Don't come here! Don't come here! Eugene's face distorted, and he sat down on the ground in panic, desperately backing away. He frantically grabbed it with his hands, and the petals of those cornflowers fluttered like blue butterflies.

It's a nightmare, and Eugene is convinced that he's asleep, and he's having a nightmare.

Over the years, this nightmare has been with him all the time.

It was 10 years ago, and a shocking piece of news spread throughout the kingdom of Baiting overnight.

The eldest son of Duke Farad, Leanne Farad, who was about to succeed him, accidentally fell off a cliff and died young.

The aged Duke of Farad, whose illness had worsened due to the loss of his son, did not survive that summer. Duke Farad was the most trusted nobleman of Her Majesty Queen Atio, and his death was a national grief. The queen held a state funeral to send the father and son to heaven forever.

The following month, Duke Farad's younger brother, Naru Farad, succeeded his brother as duke. The youngest son of the deceased old duke, Eugene Farad, became the future duke's heir, and he was only seven years old at the time.

For a time, rumors were everywhere, and some people said that Naru had long coveted his brother's dukedom, so he designed to kill the old duke and his eldest son. Frequently there have been reports to Her Majesty that the future of the new Duke will be ruined by the power of various forces.

Naru Farad himself knows very well that he is interested in mining, and while his business is booming, he has blocked many people's financial paths, and naturally he has also made many enemies. He had no heirs under his knees, so he took care of his brother's only remaining child, Eugene Farad, as his own son, and raised him as his own son, so as to show his innocence to Her Majesty and the people.

Just when everyone thought that the matter would continue to ferment over time, a sudden catastrophe caused the Kingdom of Byttin to disappear from the map overnight, leaving only the palace burning all night and the two corpses that fell from the balcony.

Eugene will never forget that evening, when his own brother Leanne Faradera took his little hand at the age of 7 to the cliff where the blue cornflower bloomed, to see the endless sea, and the old sunset.

Brother Lean told him that their father was critically ill, and like the sunset that was about to sink to the bottom of the sea, the whole kingdom of Byting would have a long night, and at night people could only see the way forward by the stars in the sky.

At that time, Eugene asked his brother, when will the new sun rise? Its sunlight will illuminate the whole earth!

His brother told him that the new sun was himself, and it was Hallian Farad. He will certainly not leave too long of a night in this country, and he will definitely bring new days to this land. People can still farm, they can laugh, they can love each other......

Eugene said, brother, if you become a duke, what should I do? You'll wear the most gorgeous tuxedo, you'll be present at occasions where even Queen Atio will be present, you'll have a special chef who will cook the most delicious food for you, you'll have servants with you whenever you travel, you'll go to the other side of the sea, you'll see the wider world, one day you'll marry the pretty girl you were engaged to, and you'll have an equally happy child, and that child will one day become a duke......

But what about me, I'm your younger brother, my younger brother has no chance to become a duke, and I will only be the duke's younger brother for the rest of my life. If you are the newborn sun, then I am the star of the night, your light is so dazzling and beautiful, my light will be completely obscured by you, even if you sink into the sea like your father, a new sun will rise. I am the star, and the sky has never been my stage!

Perhaps, only when you die, will I have a chance, brother.

Eugene Fallad will never forget how he pulled his brother off the cliff, and he repeated it night and night, a nightmare that was a labyrinth for him, from which he could never get out.

More than once he dreamed of the well-dressed young man standing on the edge of a cliff, looking out at the sunset in the distance that was about to sink into the sea.

And this time, the dream was completely distorted, and the brother who had been pushed off the cliff by himself actually turned around, he was covered in blood, and his flesh and blood were blurred like a demon. The demon he had killed was crawling towards him, and he wanted to take back what was rightfully his.

The kingdom of Baiting was destroyed, the nobility was destroyed, and the princes and princes no longer existed. The Farad family survived the apocalypse by virtue of their long-standing mining intentions, and he, Young Master Eugene, is no longer the future duke's heir, but the heir of the great chaebol.

He no longer belonged to the old sinful era, and he hated the old era just as he hated the ignorant self when he stepped his brother off the cliff. The arrival of the end is a reboot for him, a new starting point, and he stands at the beginning of a new life, ready to be full of spirits.

But just as he was about to do everything he wanted to do smoothly, an insurmountable obstacle appeared in front of him. A man even more terrifying than a demon stood before him, and the demon stared at him with a pair of dark red eyes, a glimpse of the deepest nightmare in his heart.

His nightmare was his older brother, and those dark red eyes opened the door to nightmares for him.

"I'm your nightmare!" Leanne Fallad said, squirming at the bloody lips.

"No!" Eugene screamed and sat up from his bed, staring at everything around him in a daze, sweating profusely.

"Master Farad, are you alright?" Professor Uno's monocle nearly fell to the floor, and he threw himself on Eugene's bedside and grabbed the pale palm he was dripping.

Eugene's pupils constricted, cold sweat trickled down his forehead, and he didn't even look at Professor Uno, his eyes were only on the boy sitting in the chair across from the bed.

The boy sat in a chair, his hands crossed, his golden hair falling diagonally, covering the eye that was covered by a black blindfold. His other eye looked calmly forward, a dark red glow swirling deep within his pupil.

This young man should have screamed under his own sword, why was he lying on the bed at this time!

Eugene tries to stand up, but finds that he has no strength at all.

Cold sweat was still dripping, wetting his entire shirt.

The boy sitting across from him suddenly stood up, looked at him calmly, and turned to leave.
