To be more precise, I can't stand his 'clown' face.

He clearly possesses powerful magical powers and talents, but he hides them all in a clown-like disguise, with a hypocritical smile on his face, and his whole person gives off an unreliable feeling.

"Greetings, Lord Roswaal, Lady Emilia."

It is not advisable to hit a smiling person, so Shen Yuan still showed his courtesy, but his killer image made him look like a dangerous person.

"Hmm~hmm, nice to meet you, Lord Kain. As a supporter of Lady Emilia, I sincerely thank you for your assistance. Please get into the Earth Dragon Cart and join us for lunch today."

What surprised Shen Yuan was that Roswaal did not invite him into the mansion, but got on a carriage and planned to take him out for a meal.

"Sorry, Mr. Kayn, Roswaal is about to go out, so..."

Emilia showed a helpless smile on her face, which made Shen Yuan feel that things were even more weird.

At this moment, he glanced and found an ancient book in Roswaal's arms.

Roswaal, noticing Shen Yuan's gaze, smiled gracefully. "Are you curious about this book? It's the Gospel that can predict the future."

Roswaal did not hide anything; it would be more accurate to say that he deliberately tried to arouse Shen Yuan's interest in the book.

"Are you not interested in the future of '957' itself?"

Roswaal seemed to intend to let Shen Yuan check the book.

However, it was rejected.

"No. Not interested."

Shen Yuan retracted his gaze, no longer staring at the Gospel. He said calmly, "No one can decide my future, because I am 'destiny' itself."

Even if mortals can glimpse their fate, they can only obey it.

Gods can choose one of the many destiny lines as their own destiny.

This may be one thing that Roswaal cannot understand.

He is the chief court magician of the kingdom, but he is still just a mortal.

"Mr. Roswaal." As if seeing through his little tricks, Kayn (Shen Yuan) smiled slyly, "If it's inconvenient, I won't bother you. I'm here only to decline Lady Emilia's kindness. Thank you for inviting me, but I have other things to do, so I won't bother you for now."

"Wait! You can't leave!"

Seeing the sickle killer turning to leave, Roswaal's expression suddenly changed and he began to panic.

If Shen Yuan left like this, the world orbit in the "Gospel" would deviate, which means that the "future" he has always believed in is false and can be easily changed.

Therefore, Shen Yuan cannot leave and must stay.

“S-Sorry! It’s my fault. I was just joking. Emilia and I welcome you anytime. Please come into the mansion…”

Roswaal's attitude suddenly changed, leaving Emilia stunned.

It seemed like this was the first time she had seen Roswaal react so strongly.

"Forget it, I'm not interested in your mansion."

Shen Yuan still refused. He didn't know why Roswaal wanted to keep him so much, but the more he did so, the less he wanted to follow his wishes.

"What a pity..." Roswaal turned a blind eye, observing Shen Yuan's expression quietly, and sighed, "I originally thought that the ghost tribe no longer existed except for the twins. I didn't expect to meet another here, but since we are not destined to meet, we can only wait and see."

"Ghost tribe?" Shen Yuan turned around and looked at the 'clown', his expression feigning surprise: "Impossible! There can't be any other ghost tribes besides me!"

"It's true." Roswaal shrugged. "Although there's not enough evidence to prove it, you'll find out whether it's true or not once you return to the mansion with me."

Seeing this scene, Emilia cursed Roswaal inwardly for being mean and cunning.

It was clearly he who said not to reveal Ramrem's identity, but now that the guest was about to leave, he immediately tried to keep him.

"In that case, I'll excuse myself."

After a moment's thought, Shen Yuan nodded and continued, "But if I find out you're lying to me, I won't show any mercy."

Roswaal nodded and laughed, "Haha~ It's okay. If I'm lying, you can chop off my head."

Having said that, the thin handsome man with long blue hair made a gesture of wiping his neck.

Of course, he might be serious.

Because this 'being who can slay dragons', and is also a Death Slayer, is a deadly nemesis for a sickly pale and weak wizard like himself.

Since the other party had said so much, Shen Yuan did not waste any more time.

Then he entered the mansion.

...

In the Earl's Mansion of Roswaal.

In the season when beautiful flowers are in full bloom, the entire manor seems to be surrounded by a white mist of fragrance. Several demihuman servants are standing inside and waiting on both sides of the huge manor.

Among them, a pair of twin sisters were standing obediently at the door of the living room waiting.

"Welcome back, Lady Emilia."

"Welcome back, Lord Roswaal."

The two girls opened their lips and spoke at the same time.

"Ram, Rem, this is our guest—Mr. Kayn."

After Roswaal's introduction, Shen Yuan looked up and forward, noticing a pair of surprised gazes.

Two girls dressed as maids.

At first glance, they look exactly the same except for their hair color.

However, when they heard the name 'Kayn', doubt first flashed in sister Ram's eyes, then surprise, and finally incredible shock.

Rem followed closely behind and reacted.

"Kai——"

Just as Rem was about to speak excitedly, Ram stopped him: "Rem, you must not be rude to guests."

"But, sister, he..."

"I said, no disrespect."

Seeing Ram's stern look, Rem lowered her head and pouted.

Looking closely, these two twin sisters are also very beautiful. They are about 150 cm tall, with clear eyes, cherry red lips, and facial contours that make them look cute and tender at the same time, giving people a feeling of wanting to be loved and protected.

The young sisters both have short hair, with their bangs facing each other, just enough to cover their left and right eyes.

In addition to their hairstyles, the pink and sky blue hair colors are also a sign that distinguishes the two sisters.

In addition, she is wearing a black base skirt, white hair accessories, exposed shoulders and an exquisite maid outfit.

According to the background story, Kayn, the strongest sub-human race and the young chief of the ghost tribe, is Ramrem's childhood sweetheart. Although they are of similar age, their status is reversed.

Because Ram is the hope of the village, she is the reincarnation of a "ghost god" and was once called a child prodigy.

Although it only has one horn, its ability is stronger than that of the ghosts with two horns.

So the real status is this: Kainrem, the chief of the Ram ghosts.

Titles such as the most beautiful girl in the village, the hope of reviving the ghost tribe in the village, the strongest fighting force in the village, etc., all fell on Ram.

As for Rem, although she is cuter than Ram, she is still a younger sister.

Because of this, Rem, who has absolute trust in her sister Ram and is a complete sister complex, is much inferior in combat and is actually not much different from ordinary ghosts.

On the contrary, Ram is extremely powerful in his peak period (when he has horns).

Her combat power is second only to the Witch of Envy and Reinhardt, and she can fight the White Whale alone.

However, the horns are also very important and sensitive organs, and Ram is considered to be the most difficult girl to conquer in the world, no doubt about it.

This was evident from the fact that after she recognized Kayn as a fellow villager, she did not rush to recognize him.

It's not that she doesn't recognize him, but she is wary of Roswaal.

And so many years have passed, who knows what Kayn has experienced? After all, his eyes were not so firm before.

“Emilia-sama, Ram was insulted by this guest’s gaze.”

“Emilia-sama, Rem has been imagined by this guest.”

After noticing Kayn's gaze, the two sisters, Ram and Rem, pretended to be terrified and hugged each other, as if they were jokingly teasing each other.

“Ram, Rem…”

"Oh, I'm sorry to interrupt you. If you have anything to say, let's go inside and talk."

Roswaal suddenly spoke up and invited a few people in.

Since the owner of the mansion had spoken, everyone else gave him face and showed his lordly aura.

In front of him, Ram and Rem quickly returned to their normal expressions, becoming taciturn and not even saying a word unless someone asked them.

But at this moment, no one spoke.

Roswaal didn't speak until the meal was served and it was time to start.

"Sir Kain, although it may seem a bit presumptuous, I would like to make a request of you."

"ask?"

Shen Yuan looked up at him and said, "Tell me about it."

"Is such that."

Roswaal glanced at Emilia and smiled. "As a supporter of Lady Emilia, I have to take responsibility for many things. However, I am also an earl on the border of the kingdom, and I have a lot of heavy official duties to deal with every day, just like today. Therefore, I am very worried that something similar will happen again in the future. If that happens, I will be too busy to handle it. To avoid that situation, with your strength, Lord Kayn, I wonder if you could consider making you Lady Emilia's knight?"

As the voice fell, the Ram and Rem sisters, as well as Emilia and Parker, all showed surprised expressions.

"Roswaal, you're being too hasty to make such a sudden request!"

Emilia immediately looked troubled and spoke quickly.

"Lord Roswaal, this matter is too serious. Should we treat it with caution?" Ram showed a thoughtful expression and put forward his own thoughts.

She didn't know why Roswaal did this.

Could it be related to his 'crappy book'?

But Roswaal ignored them and looked at Shen Yuan: "What do you think? Lord Kain, what do you think?"

"This is just our first meeting, and we have no connection, yet you trust me so much? Shouldn't Lord Roswaal conduct a thorough investigation of someone like me whose origins are unknown?"

Shen Yuan replied.

"Your Excellency Kayn, you're being too polite. You're a ghost, a member of Ramrem's tribe. I don't think you're a bad person with bad intentions. Or is your refusal because you have other supporters?"

As soon as Roswaal said this, all eyes turned to the boy.

"You actually have other supporters?"

Ram was the most surprised. In her impression, Kayn had always been a ghost young master who was not good at interpersonal communication.

Now it has transformed into a member of another king's chosen camp.

"Yes. Emilia has seen that person too, the girl from the slums."

“Could it be… Felt?!”

Emilia covered her mouth in surprise. She had never thought that Felt would become a candidate for the royal election.

"To be precise, she hasn't become a competitor yet. The purpose of my visit this time is actually to find someone named 'Wilhelm'. I heard that he received an invitation from you?"

"Wilhelm? The coachman from the Argyle family?"

Roswaal asked knowingly.

"Yes."

"I see. However, Wilhelm and his companions will arrive at the mansion in two days. If you don't mind, you can wait for them for the next two days."

"I do not mind."

After hearing this, Roswaal also breathed a sigh of relief.

However, he still did not give up and said: "Would you really not consider becoming Emilia-sama's knight? In that case..."

"The Gut Hunter said something before he died. Do you know what it was?"

Shen Yuan suddenly interrupted Roswaal and stared at him.
