Civil Servant in Romance Fantasy

༺ I’m a Civil Servant (1) ༻

 

 

 

  It happened 5 years ago.

 

  “Who are you?”

 

  “KYAA! YOUNG MASTER!”

 

  “A doctor, call a doctor right now!”

 

  “Young Master, are you okay? Can you see how many fingers I have extended?”

 

  I was shocked three times in five minutes.
The first one was because I was in the middle of a room I hadn’t seen before.
The second one was because I was surrounded by people I didn’t know.
And the third one was because of the reaction of the person I asked who she was.
That was the first memory of my possession life.

 

  I could feel my eardrums ringing when I remembered that tune.
But thinking back, they had a reason to react in such a way, so I felt sorry.
The first thing the eldest son of the family collapsed, and the first thing he said after waking up was something that made everyone think he might have amnesia.
If I had maintained that attitude, a few servants would have been made responsible, and their necks would’ve been cut.

 

  “Are you really okay…?”

 

  “Yes.
I just felt dizzy for a moment.
That’s all.”

 

  Thankfully, the memories of the original owner of the body came back to me, and that incident was considered solved.
Thanks to that, I was able to kick everyone out of the room.
I’m not sure if it was because of the desire of the original owner to protect the attendants that had served him.
Or it was because of the generosity of the one who’d put me here.
The second one probably wasn’t the case.
After all, if that were the case, that being wouldn’t have put me here.

 

  “Why me…?”

 

  Returning in time, possession, reincarnation.
All of these tropes used to be new and fresh, but as time passed, they became so cliché that it was hard to find a novel without them.
And among all of these, I became in charge of possession. Woah! How fun!

 

  The problem was that I didn’t know why I was chosen for this.
I had never finished reading a novel, I hadn’t written a draft of 5,700 characters, the monitor didn’t suddenly shine, and I wasn’t hit by a truck.
After I went to sleep, I suddenly woke up in this world.

 

  Let’s say that up to this point, it was understandable.
Possession was always something unreasonable and sudden.
So trying to guess a reason made no sense.
It wasn’t that other possession protagonists did so because they wanted to.

 

  ‘You should have picked up an avid reader, at least.’

 

  The biggest problem was that I had reincarnated in a novel I knew nothing about.
No, to be more precise, I knew it.
But I hadn’t taken my time to go through it properly.

 

  The title was ‘The Esteemed Daughter is in Love’… or something like that.
After reading the news that a popular novel had been made into a webtoon, I read the free chapters.
But that was it.

 

  It didn’t suit my tastes.
I quickly forgot about it since I found other more interesting novels.

 

  Although I felt bothered by the fact that I had woken up in a novel I knew nothing about, I realized it wasn’t that bad once I thought about it.
It wasn’t that a Demon King trying to destroy the world would appear.
There was also no risk of plague appearing because the characters of a romance fantasy novel would probably be busy by showing a sweet romance.

 

  Huh? Didn’t I wake up in a world where the author made sure it was easy to profit from? Not only that, but the body I possessed belonged to the eldest son of the Empire’s Earl.
He was a noble with blue blood. I’m not sure who you are, but thank you for waking me up in such a body…!

 

  “I unlocked an easy-mode life.”

 

  As I organized the memories that came back to me, I couldn’t help but laugh.
The original owner of the body, Carl Krasius, was a 16-year-old boy.
He was the eldest son of the Krasius family.
He wasn’t a genius or someone crazy out of control.
He was just a normal noble boy.

 

  This meant I didn’t need to act in a certain way or show how I changed positively.
I could just live a happy life as a noble.

 

  The only thing that bothered me was what had happened to the body’s original owner.
But I decided to think that he died.
Because, after all, I had no way to return it to him.
So from now on, I was Carl.

 

  That was how I began enjoying my life in another world.

 

  “Our family’s riches came from the grace received from the Imperial Family.”

 

  Just for a year.

 

  On the second day of the year I would become 17 years old, the Patriarch summoned me.
I subconsciously nodded to everything he said.

 

  “In reality, our family’s blood used to be red instead of blue.1 But 300 years ago, our ancestor made a huge contribution to the Apels Invasion.”

 

  “That’s why Emperor Amanka offered our family a territory and a title.
That’s how we were able to become nobles.
The one who followed him, Amnaka 2nd, made the Krasius family Earls of the Em
