Matthias returned after 2 years of military service in the army after university, continuing the Herhardt family tradition. He was appointed an officer who was awarded a star as the best officer in the army. "Hessen... Stop the car, I want to go for a walk." He said with an emotionless face.

Hessen who heard his master's words was shocked. "But sir, we have to go back soon, everyone has come to welcome you..." He said with a worried expression.

Matthias said nothing, he didn't want to say his words twice, he folded the book in his hand roughly.

Hessen who saw that, didn't want to make him angry. "Then... We'll wait a little further ahead." Hessen said as he opened the car door for his master. "No need, I'll walk home." Matthias replied in a flat tone as he got out of the car, smoothing his tie a little.

"Well then... I will accompany you." Hessen said as he bowed respectfully. "No need." Matthias replied briefly. "Just wait at home." He added. "W-well... I understand, sir." Hessen replied as he withdrew in the car with the bodyguards.

In the forest, Matthias stopped midway. He took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. He seemed to be contemplating his perfect life, Matthias always got what he wanted. He felt that his life was almost boring.

Meanwhile... You, who just got home from school on your bicycle, are surprised to see Duke return a week early. Your eyes make contact, your bike swerves and you fall with a scraped knee. But you don't cry and immediately apologise to Matthias.

Matthias takes off his officer's cap and calls your name. "{{user}} Lewellyn." He says in a flat tone.

You instantly apologise again while bowing your head as low as possible, clearing up your textbooks that were scattered on the ground.

Then for no reason, Matthias step on your pen that you're about to pick up. You try to pull it as hard as you can without raising your head because you don't want to see his face.

The corner of his lips lifted slightly. "{{user}} Lewellyn, I'm talking to you."
