When Aunt Marilyn died, Edward was fifteen years old and had already obtained the qualifications to go to Amster's School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Aunt Marilyn died of a poison called "Sweet Dreams". It is refined from dozens of magic plants and minerals, and it belongs to the Rennes family, one of the "secrets" that only the heirs can know. Contrary to the name, dreams have a long incubation period, and for a long time after poisoning, it will plunge the poisoner into an illusory pleasure of making the dream come true. When this pleasure accumulates to the peak, the sweet dream turns into a nightmare, the skin of the poisoned person begins to fester, the blood vessels burst, the flesh spurts to the extreme of the senses, but it is extremely weak, and he does not even have the strength to choose suicide.

When you wake up from a sweet dream, you can only die in pain.

From the age of ten to fifteen, how many things happened that made him resentful, and how these things accumulated little by little, and finally made him personally poison the "relatives" in Rennes Manor, Edward could no longer remember the details of those things, but the decision to poison was made in the summer of the age of fourteen.

The summer was particularly muggy.

Fourteen-year-old Edward Wren, although still thin, but the height and hoarse voice that began to rise proved that he was already a teenager, and the lack of sunlight in the studio for many years made him particularly pale, thin and pale, and the courtesy that art gave Edward to the nobility, he was kind to relatives, and was the most popular young master among the maids and butlers in Wren's manor.

The stepmother's gaze grew more and more resentful, and Edward was wary of it, but at the same time enjoyed the feeling of being valued by his enemies.

He thought at that time, in another year, he would leave Rennes Manor, and when his stepmother found out that he had the power of magic and had the opportunity to become a powerful magician, he would definitely be in pain and want to die, right?

She would live in regret and trepidation all day long, regretting that she hadn't killed him sooner, fearing that he would become powerful when he became a magician and take everything his stepmother wanted to take for Anthony...... What a pleasant contrast it was to him, who was happily studying at Amster, in the midst of her misery.

Fourteen-year-old Edward, the object of hatred is only his beautiful and mean stepmother. For Aunt Marilyn he complained, for his father he was disgusted and longed for the warmth of fatherly love, for his half-brother Anthony-

"Brother Edward, how can you get better if you stay in the studio all day and don't go out to exercise?"

Little Blonde Anthony pushed open the door to the studio, holding a small tray of biscuits and milk.

Under his brother's concerned gaze, Edward lowered his head to hide the complexity in his eyes. He was envious and despised for Anthony a few years ago, and at the same time deeply disgusted, and as Anthony grew up in recent years, Edward's perception of him has become more and more complicated.

They have the blood of the same man, and his facial features are quite shady, and he has grown into a young man who is like his father, but little Anthony is neither like his mean and debauched mother, nor like his ruthless and selfish father, but an angel of good character and loved by everyone...... A good brother who loves his brother, Edward acted in this script for several years, and when his brother reciprocated and gave him more sincere feelings, Edward found himself a little into the play.

Silently eating the biscuits brought by Anthony and drinking the milk, Edward secretly decided: on the day of reckoning, give Anthony a sum of property, and let him leave Rennes Manor and not appear in front of him again.

The boy made this decision, and most of the heaviness on his chest was swept away.

When he looked at Anthony again, he could also look directly into the other person's crystal clear eyes.

The accident happened half a month later.

After a sweltering heat for more than half a month, the sky finally accumulated enough clouds. One after the other, the candles on the silver candlesticks were blown by the wind, and Edward got up and closed the window, and out of the corner of his eye he saw that the window in Anthony's room diagonally opposite was not closed. The maids never took care of Anthony as much as they did when they took care of him, and it was not once or twice that they forgot to close the windows once or twice.

But Anthony was particularly afraid of thunder.

Edward didn't hesitate, put on his robe and went out to Anthony's room. Tonight for some reason, the corridor was exceptionally quiet, and there wasn't even a maid on duty at night.

Edward sensed the unusual atmosphere, and couldn't help but hold his breath and lighten his steps.

Then he found Aunt Marilyn's room with the door open, and a suppressed, painful gasp could be heard from inside.

Edward, who had a precocious voice, was no stranger.

He only hesitated for a moment, not thinking about continuing on, but he heard a gasp in the room, and after a brief silence, the people in the room began to talk.

“…… Back then, the person you fell in love with was really me, not my sister? ”

"Oh, that's nature. Marilyn, you are so weak and do not need protection all the time, and your sister Amanda, who has the qualities of an aristocracy, is a dull and boring woman. ”

"However, you can only get the wealth that belongs to the Wren family if you marry your sister, don't you?"

"My Marilyn, the previous things are in the past, the important thing is that now we are together, you are also the young lady of the Wren family, Amanda of the Wren family can inherit, why can't you inherit? We will have a descendant who has my wisdom, who has the blood of the Wren family, and who is an heir that no one can question......"

"Money, how attractive it is, it makes you marry your sister and kill her...... She is your wife and gave birth to Edward for you! ”

"Shhhh......h

The man's breath was rapid again, and the conversation in the room weakened, and he soon fell into confusion again.

Edward's feet felt like they were glued to the floor.

A bolt of lightning swept through the window, illuminating the boy's pale face.

He forgot how he walked back to his room and how he stayed up until dawn. All day, his brain was buzzing.

Many things that I didn't understand before suddenly came together.

The handsome father, why did he choose a mother who was not amazing among many aristocratic ladies. After giving birth to herself, her mother became weaker and weaker, and she passed away within a few years...... He thought that the man who was called "father" was just a little affectionate, just cheating, and just loving money.

It turns out that he also killed his mother!

And Aunt Marilyn, the younger sister that her mother loved so much before her death, not only fornicated with her brother-in-law, but even knew the truth about her sister's death all along.

Angered Edward's eyes blurred, he opened the manor's secret room in a daze, and selected the most vicious and powerful poison from the Wren family's centuries-old collection.

"Sweet dreams", which cannot be dissolved by any antidote, including the secret medicine that the priests of the Holy See are helpless.

- If we are destined not to be favored by the God of Light, then let's go to the abyss of the dead together.
