Cheat Awakening

"Lord Myne, I apologize for keeping you waiting for so long. Your Majesty would like to see you right now. Allow me to assist you on the way to his study."

"I understand! Thank you very much. Please wait outside; I'll come there in a minute," Myne responded with a smile.

The maid returned Myne's smile, gave a slight bow, and exited the room, closing the door behind her.

"Brother Myne, please let me know once you've finished talking with Father. Forget it, just return here. I'll be waiting for you," Ayri said excitedly.

"Huh? Why is that? Do you want to hear more of my adventurous stories?" Myne asked with a faint smile, raising his eyebrow.

"Of course, I do. But there's one more matter I want to discuss with you after you've finished with Father," Ayri replied with a mysterious expression.

"Very well, then. If everything goes smoothly, it shouldn't take too long. Maybe half an hour, and I'll be back here," Myne assured while patting on her head.

"Yesss! You're the best, Brother Myne. Now go quickly, Father is waiting for you, and come back soon," Ayri said excitedly, giving Myne a warm hug.

"See ya then," Myne replied, and with Waffle by his side, he hurriedly headed to Faren's study, with the guidance of the maid who seemed to be listening to their conversation because after seeing Myne there was a smile on her face.

"I don't have much time. I need to settle all my matters quickly. Why did Father have to make the palace so big? Now, where on earth am I going to find Mother?"

...

"Excuse me for intruding, Your Majesty, but I've brought Lord Myne over," The maid gently knocked on the door of Faren's study beside his bedroom and spoke.

"You've come. Come in."

After receiving confirmation, the maid opened the door and politely said, "Pardon for intruding." It was clear that she held Faren in very high regard, as evidenced by her formality. When she had returned with Faren's response in Myne's room earlier, she hadn't bothered with such formalities and had entered his room directly.

It was evident that she didn't take Myne and Ayri as seriously as she did Faren.

Then, she urged Myne to enter, as if they were close friends.

Once Myne had entered the room, the maid bowed deeply to Faren before closing the door.

This maid is really trying to climb into my head just because I've been very nice to her and the other maid, and I've shown good manners to them. They all start behaving casually as if we're best friends. Sigh, being a good person is not easy, Myne thought with a sigh, throwing those minor things out of his mind.

"Myne, what brings you here?" Faren asked, still focused on the document in front of him, after the maid had closed the door.

"Father-in-law, I apologize for disturbing you while you appear to be very busy, but I've decided on the name of my Clan. I came here to report it," Myne said calmly as he took a seat in the empty chair opposite Faren.

After having been used by Faren numerous times in the name of the greater good and knowing that Faren was his late parents' best friend, in Myne's eyes, Faren's dominance as a king directly demoted to a close relative with whom he didn't need to be overly formal and could speak and laugh with ease.

"Hmm, that was earlier than expected, but it's good. It saves me a lot of time and energy. So, what name did you decide on?" Faren put away the document and, while pouring black tea into an empty cup, asked with a smile.

Myne puffed out his chest and told Faren the name of his clan with a proud expression. "It's ELYSIUM SEEKERS because our clan is going to be an adventurer type. We are going to take missions and roam various places, exploring the beauty of the world."

( Technical Mistake Ignore it )"Myne, what brings you here?" Faren asked, still focused on the document in front of him after the maid closed the door.

( Technical Mistake Ignore it )"Father-in-law, sorry for disturbing you while you seem very busy, but I've decided on the name of my Clan, so I came here to report it," Myne said calmly and sat down in the empty chair opposite Faren.

After having been used by Faren for many tasks in the name of the greater good, and knowing that he was the best friend of Myne's late parents, Faren's status as king had, in Myne's heart, transformed into that of a close relative with whom he didn't have to be too formal, and they could talk and laugh.

( Technical Mistake Ignore it ) "Hmm, that was earlier than expected, but it's good. It saves me a lot of time and energy. So, what name did you decide on?" Faren put away the document and, while pouring black tea into an empty cup, asked with a smile.

"Exploring the beauty of the world, huh? I see, that name does indeed suit y'all," Faren muttered absentmindedly as he gazed at the clouds in the sky outside the window.

Myne couldn't help but wonder if Faren had truly listened to what he had said, observing his varied behaviour.

"Oh, right, Myne... Do you want to hear this old man's a little story?" Faren shifted his gaze away from the clouds and fixed an excited expression on Myne as he spoke.

"Sure, why not? Anyway, I don't have much to do," Myne said casually as he took a sip of the black tea offered by Faren. However, as the black tea touched his taste buds, he regretted his decision very much.

Faren didn't take Myne's unimpressed expression seriously, as not everyone could appreciate the beauty of black tea. He continued to speak with his eyes closed, leaning back in his chair.

"In the past, I was on a team with your parents for some time. I've told you about it before, right? Originally, I was just a commoner... My father was a mercenary, and before meeting your parents and Garnet, I worked as a mercenary alongside him."

Now, this is an interesting development, from a puny mercenary to becoming a kingdom's king, no wonder he is so frugal, cheapness is in running his blood. How can an ex-mercenary whose life was spent chasing money, could be a generous person? I wonder how he did it, Myne thought excitedly ready to dig up Faren's secret of success.

"Hm? Ah, although I did say 'mercenary,' I was actually just an assistant to my father, I myself wasn't a big deal. Anyway, being a mercenary in a family means not knowing what will happen tomorrow. Instead of settling down in one place, we had to move from town to town to make a living.

Thus, life was never peaceful, there was always fear in our hearts that one day, something unexpected would happen, and everything would be over."

"My daily life was very simple, I would practice combat with my father, help him clean his equipment, feed his horse, assist my mother with chores, and so on. It was only after a while that I got the skill from God did everything changed."

"So, I awakened my skills in Lunawan Town. It was exactly the place where my father died during a mission, and I decided to become an adventurer to seek wealth and explore the world, just like you guys wanted to do now."

"So, from there, you met my father and mother?" Myne unintentionally interrupted Faren's story. Although Myne didn't want to admit it, he was very eager to know more about his mother and father's past. They always told him that they were just normal hunters and a runaway noble housewife, nothing special. Only after meeting the royal family did he realize how much they had kept him in the dark.

Even his hot-tempered but cute Big Sis Maya hadn't told him anything.

"Let's see... When I first entered the adventurer's guild, it was there that I met your Mother Yukino, and Garnet. They had been best friends for a very long time and had been in a party together."

"So, Dad wasn't with Mother from the start?" Myne, who had always seen his miserable father with his bossy mother, couldn't help but ask again.

"No, he wasn't. It was a while later that Dyne started adventuring with us. Now, stop interrupting me, you're messing with the story's flow," Faren said angrily.

Sighing, Faren continued, "Anyways, meeting Garnet and Yukino was quite coincidental. After registering at the guild, I received a very interesting mission with a generous reward. However, the guild receptionist advised me to form a party with them if I valued my life, so I did."

"Are you curious about the nature of the request?" Faren asked playfully, seeing Myne fully immersed in the story, seeking revenge for his early interruptions.

Myne and Waffle, who were listening intently, nodded their heads. Faren continued, "The request itself wasn't difficult as long as the party formation was solid. We had to hunt a certain demon in the forest slightly further away from Lunawan Town."

A demon, huh? I think I heard about it. Just yesterday, Big Sis said that her mother-in-law was the incarnation of a real hell demon, so by her standards of bad people, they should be very dangerous, Myne pondered while rubbing his chin.

"Though we're at an exciting part of the story, but let me give you some simple information about everyone. As I mentioned earlier, to clear that mission, we needed a solid party formation, right? Although our formation was indeed solid, with me as a swordsman, Garnet as a magician, and Yukino as the healer, there was no problem defeating that demon with just the three of us.

However, the forest was vast, so finding that single demon was nearly impossible if it wanted to hide. This is where our party lacked the most – none of us knew anything about tracking."

"A single demon in Hume kingdom? Don't tell me it's a rare species!? Were you hunting down a mutant or something?" Myne suddenly discovered a key point in Faren's story and remembered various mutant creatures with incredible skills, like the one that granted him and his wives Tenfold Experience Acquisition.

"Oh, you seem to know about it as well, huh?" Faren responded. "It was a demon that suddenly mutated. What we were looking for was a bee-shaped flying demon called the Royal Bee. Yes, I know the name is quite cliché, so don't give me that kind of expression, I didn't give it the name."

Faren sighed, continuing, "To tell the truth, that was indeed a nasty request. In the forest, finding a bee-type demon was like trying to find a needle in a haystack. So, after wasting three entire days aimlessly wandering in the forest like headless chickens, we finally came to the conclusion that we needed someone with good searching capabilities..."

A/N:- I apologize for any inconvenience caused by the presence of three nearly identical paragraphs in this chapter guys. Unfortunately, this occurred due to a minor oversight during the editing process, and by the time I became aware of the error, it was already too late to rectify it fully.

With the recent update, authors are now limited to erasing only 100 words after a chapter has been posted, making it challenging to make substantial revisions. I hope you can forgive me for this unintentional duplication.
