Reincarnated Hero System

'The 'Second' of the Previous seven heroes from a thousand years ago huh?'

It seemed the seven heroes of a thousand years ago were attempting to possess the bodies of the new generation heroes.

From the piece of information about the previous second of the seven, there was a spell casted into the mystic eyes that the heroes possessed and the moment they awakened their skill, the souls of the previous would take over their bodies.

'So, he just awakened his skills right before the possession huh? As for the previous seven, there is more to them than I expected.

The game's storyline mentioned them as the ones who repelled the original demon invasion a thousand years ago and blocked the entrance the demons used to come over.

It didn't say how though. Still, it seems that they knew it was going to happen again seeing as they prepared such a spell.'

He began to think he was being too hasty in accepting to come to this world.

As he thought that, the door opened and the maid returned with a jug and a glass filled with what looked like orange juice. Upon seeing her, he recalled an important piece of the original Evan's memory.

'The original Evan didn't know her name was Rosa, he always called her Rei, that's why she was surprised huh?'

As a hidden combat bodyguard of the Duke, Rosa theoretically did not exist. Naturally, she had a different identity, one with which she was introduced to Evan.

'She's probably suspicious huh? But it seems she was close to this body so let's hope she doesn't report to the duke.

Until I can activate my concealment skill, I really would not want anyone to know I'm actually a deviant, it'd be troublesome.

Being the son of a duke already draws a lot of attention...'

After taking a drink of the cold orange juice, almost finishing the jug, there was a knock on the door.

He gave permission to enter and another maid entered the room and informed him that the royal family had arrived and requested to see him.

'That means the princess is here, huh?

She's probably not reincarnated too, so a genuine nine-year-old. Getting engaged to her feels like a crime even though I'm also supposed to be nine.

Let's think of a way to deal with the engagement matter.'

Poor Evan didn't even get a chance to be happy about the fact that he was in the world that the game he had been playing for the past six months was based on.

Since he was in 'Evan's' body, he had to act the part. It was the most he could do for the now 'deceased' nine-year-old.

"Rei, cancel everything I have scheduled for the rest of the day and prepare a bath for me. After talking to the princess, I wish to take a bath and sleep."

He ignored the look of shock on Rei's face and walked out of the room, following the memories he received to go over to the reception room where the princess was waiting.

Entering the room, he was greeted with the presence of six people.

The Duke, Roger, Duchess Patricia, and his older brother, Arnold Del Eris. Unexpectedly, the Emperor and the Empress brought the princess over alongside themselves.

"Evan Del Eris greets the Sun, Moon, and Second Star of the Empire."

He gave a slight bow and greeted them just like the real 'Evan' would, before going to sit beside his father.

​ The Duke was a middle-aged man with dark hair and gray eyes like Evan, he always seemed to carry a stern expression on his face that made him look older than he actually was.

The Duchess was also dark-haired, but with green eyes, and as for his older brother, he looked like a younger version of the duke, except that he inherited his mother's green eyes.

He had a calm expression on his face and his green eyes narrowed for a moment upon inadvertently glancing at Evan, but he turned his gaze away in the next.

The Emperor was a well-built young man with short blond hair and blue eyes in contrast to the empress' deep black hair and gray eyes.

As for the princess, she was a short girl with straight, chestnut-colored, medium-length hair. She had a baby face and looked like the kind whose facial expressions change constantly.

This was evidenced by the fact that the stoic look on her face that she had when he entered the room, changed into one of surprise, and then confusion within the few seconds of him greeting the emperor and taking a seat.

"Stiff as always huh? Just like you, Roger."

The Emperor spoke to the Duke upon seeing Evan's stiff and slightly awkward attitude. Evan on the other hand was currently in a dilemma.

'I wish to act like my real self but for now, I'd act like the original body's owner so as not to arouse suspicions.'

While he was thinking that, the duke and the emperor seemed to finish their light chat, and then turned to Evan and the princess.

"It seems she has already taken a liking to Evan, her eyes haven't left him since he entered."

At the emperor's words, the princess finally realized that she was staring and blushed slightly. The empress then suggested leaving the two alone to talk, which was accepted by the duchess.

In a matter of seconds, the duke and the emperor had gone over to the Duke's office and the empress had followed the duchess to the garden, as for his older brother, he was escorted out by a golden-eyed maid whose gaze lingered on Evan for a bit too long.

Only the princess and Evan were left behind in the room.

'She feels strangely familiar for some reason? Oh well doesn't change what I planned to do.'

Before the princess could speak up, Evan spoke up first, deciding to address the most important issue at the moment.

"Princess, I want you to dissolve the engagement."

"Huh???!!!"
