“Lucian von Kaiser.”

  His voice was cold and devoid of emotion.

  I forced myself to sit up, my head still spinning from the influx of memories.

  “...Father?” I said instinctively.

  His eyes narrowed.

  “You have tarnished the Kaiser name long enough.”

  The tension in the room thickened. The maid took a step back, as if she didn’t want to be caught in the storm.

  I barely had time to process his words before a parchment was thrown at my face.

  I looked down. **An official decree.**

  **Effective immediately, Lucian von Kaiser is stripped of his title and expelled from House Kaiser.**

  **Exiled.**

  My brain short-circuited.

  **Wait, hold on. Isn’t this happening too soon?!**

  Lucian was supposed to be kicked out **after** a major scandal at the Royal Academy. But here I was, getting thrown out **before** I even had a chance to do anything.

  I glanced at Duke Reinhardt. His face was unreadable, but his eyes were filled with disappointment.

  “…That’s all you have to say?” he asked.

  I clenched my fists.

  I needed time to think. This world followed the **plot** of *Eclipse: The Eternal War*.

  And I was **a villain with a role to play.**

  “…Understood,” I said calmly.

  The Duke’s eyes flickered in surprise for a split second.

  Then, he turned away.

  “Leave this mansion by sunset.”

  And just like that, I was no longer a noble.
