“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.
