Reborn As Noble

Chapter 10 - 10: Playing the Useless Card ( 10 )

The soft morning sunlight filtered through the curtains, illuminating Javier's nursery-turned-bedroom. Now three years old, Javier was no longer confined to the crib. Instead, he roamed his space freely, a cheeky grin plastered on his face as he plotted his day.

Yosh! Time to start my morning routine! Javier thought, flexing his tiny fingers. Step one: locate my future wives. Step two: ensure my daily dose of breastfeed! Ehehehe.

As he looked around, his thoughts shifted. He'd recently been sneaking peeks at books from the library. Though Junichi had been reborn in this body, his ability to read remained intact. He had been quietly studying, learning about mana and the basics of magic. He already suspected that his siblings' talents in the blessing ceremony might give his family a much-needed boost.

It had been three years since I was reborn into this world as Javier De Armand. Life as a noble child was far more entertaining than my previous life, and the perks? Oh, they were heavenly.

I sat up in bed, stretching my arms. My legs dangled off the edge as I tested the strength in them. "Yosh! I can walk now!" I said to myself with a grin. That meant I could now go looking for my maids—and more importantly, their divine treasures!

I brushed a hand through my tousled hair and gave myself a mental pat on the back. I wasn't just any three-year-old, after all. I was a three-year-old with refined tastes, thanks to Liana, Meira, and Lithia.

As I wandered the estate halls in

Javier closed his eyes, savoring the moment. Growing up or not, I'll never let go. You'll see, Liana. One day, I'll make you mine. This world's rules about maids and masters don't mean anything to me.

Liana chuckled softly, brushing her fingers over his soft hair. "You're such a peculiar child... but I suppose it's not so bad. You're sweet, in your own way."

Javier's inner voice practically shouted with glee. Sweet? Oh, Liana, if only you knew... I'm going to make you my sweetest treasure. This bond we have? It's just the beginning. Ehehehe.

As the peaceful moment stretched on, Javier felt completely at ease. The warmth of her embrace, the unique taste that only she could provide—it was enough to make him forget everything else.
