Chapter 4 - I will change

A butler comes in office. He is a demon with red skin and white horns. And muscular build, but not bulky.

The butler: yes milord?

Dariush thought: a demon? Now I am completely sure. I am in another world with many things that I don't know.

Dariush said to butler: Collect these clothes and send them to the kingdom of Emara, along with a message. (He pointed at the envoy attires that he killed)

Butler clap his hand and two maid comes, they grabbed the clothes and leave.

The butler said: so what is your massage milord? (Pulling out a note book to write)

Dariush pause for a moment. Choosing words carefully. And then said: Send them a letter and say: These envoys you sent disrespected me and my wife. That's why I killed them. If this happens again, I won't forgive the Emara kingdom and will even destroy it. But I'll forgive you this time. So be careful with your behavior next time.

Butler nodded and finished writing: done. I will send this letter as fast as possible to them.

A few days later when this letter arrived at kingdom of Emara, the king and queen shuddered and shivered as they hear the letter. When they saw the bloody attires they stunned and started sweating visibly.

Back to real time. Dariush is in library and reading books already.

Dariush thought: a few days later the letter will arrive to Emara kingdom. I just hope I managed to make them scared of me. (He focused to the book on his hand more)

The language of this world is I am in, is mix of Germany and Persian. Hopefully I am from iran and I know how to speak in Germany too. The world that I am in is world 99. (His eyebrows twisted) I just can't understand, the whole world name is Tetramor, but it's look like the world 99 is in it. But still I can't remember fully why is that.

(He gritted his teeth) but I can't do anything too. It's just first day that I just reincarnated to this new body.

While he was thinking deeply, at same time he read 3 books too.

Finally he put book away and thought again: I just found out about the country that I am in right now. It's name is 'Nari'. It's a mid level empire. Nor very big or small. Nor very strong or weak. But still it's a respectful empire. And my power in this empire.... Is very low. Even though I am the 'Duke of Autumn', Because my estate is always cold and even sometimes snowing.

But whatever. My political power is low now. I am currently the weakest duke in Nari among of all dukes in Nari.

He stepped out of library and continued thinking and walking: first step is gaining trust of people in my estate. Hopefully I am a very important person in Nari. Being the only person who keeps the peace between the humans and other species. But people trust on me is low now, because this body did a lot of bad things. And on top of that everyone this body as real villain. So I need to show some redemption. That way the people might start to trusting me.

He stepped out of mansion with a black coat. The outside is cold but sunlight was shining too. He started to walking and surveying his estate.

The city name is lamnia.

It's a very big city with technology of steam mix-up with a little of electric and a strange energy he couldn't remember it fully. The city was bustling and crowded, with people and carriage that didn't had horses but they all had steam technology on them.

The people clothing style was like mix of 1950~1990 or in short; classic style. But it's felt normal. At same time some people were human or other species like elf, drawf and demon's and so on...

The sky was a little bit cloudy. At same time when dariush continue walking some people payed respect by bowing or opening the way for him and some people didn't dare to look at him. But dariush just continue walking.

When dariush was walking Suddenly a little elf boy comes to dariush path, his pupils was green and his hair was black. and then said: Mr dariush. This is for you. Because I admire you. (The little boy offered a beautiful and red rose innocently. His hand was slightly injured and scratched because of the rose Thorns)

Everyone else kept watching breathlessly. And some even started to praying under their breath for the boy.

Then dariush did something that no one expected. He kneeled in front of the boy and take the rose gently. And gave him a warm expression: thank you little one. (He ruffled the boy head gently) now can you tell me why you admire me?

The boy slightly blushed and said shyly: because you are both strong and handsome. On top of that I can live here in this city because of you. And I have a lot of friends. And I am very happy because of you.

Dariush chuckled heartily.

The boy continue and said: but recently you became a bad person. Please don't do anything bad anymore. I know you are a good person. But please change. I still have hope on you Mr dariush. (The boy eyes glistened with tears that didn't fall, but he was looking at dariush innocently)

Everyone else didn't said anything, but their expression showed a slight hope, while looking at dariush and waiting for his response.

Dariush expression softened more and said: thanks for having hope on me. And because of that I will change myself, for both myself and others who have hope on me. But it's take time, until that time when I changed everything, just wait. And you will see everything is going to get better. I promise. (He smirked faintly. And his gaze was warm)

The boy eyes light up and smiled widely and said: yes!

Everyone else sigh softly in relief. And looking at dariush with new found respect and hope.

Dariush stand up, he put the rise in his coat and started to walking again.

After that little event, the rumors started to spread extremely fast. The people now started to have hope and respect for dariush. But they was still skeptical too.

Next day when dariush was in his office and he grabbed the reports he saw something interesting that made him whistle lowly. And thought to himself: previous day all of the workers were all slow. Today their speed improved to 20%.

He smirked: look like previous day little event had effect on the whole estate. Even though my estate is literally 15% of Nari empire. — he chuckled under his breath: look like improvement doesn't always come with hardworking. Sometimes I need to be smart and honest.

Suddenly a knock on door comes. Butler voice comes and said: milord! The prince is here! And he's not happy!
