'Since you deliver yourself to this place then, let's see how you would handle the consequences after this.'
Eclipse thought and smirked as he continued; "Also, don't you find it strange that you seek me out in the middle of the night? What if others think of something…. Unpleasant about this matter? ~~~"
When the Marchioness heard those words, her composure snapped and felt insulted as a noblewoman.
"Watch what were you saying, EZEKIEL ZEPHYR CHEVALIER! I am still the Marchioness of this household and your stepmother! Show some respect!"
Eclipse's smirk became darkened at the mentioned of that accursed name coming from this wretched woman!
'Tsk! It's been millennium years since I heard that name from someone else's mouth and it makes me sick to the point that I want to snap that old woman's neck!'
He took a deep breath to calm himself not to act recklessly and he looked straight into the Marchioness' jade-colored eyes and coldly stated; "OUT."
The Marchioness, Charlotte, raised an eyebrow at the insolent child in front of her; "Excuse me?"
"I said, OUT! Do you want me to drag you out of my room or you'll voluntarily step out on your own?! Suddenly barged into my room in the middle of the night is unbecoming for a noblewoman such as yourself and your lame excuse to visit your underage stepson at the times like this. Heh! If others knew about this, what would be their reaction?"

EZEKIEL ZEPHYR CHEVALIER
Yes. That accursed name that Eclipse had forsaken the moment he accepted to become a dimensional traveler for the Main House System.
A name that he didn't want to hear for the rest of his life, but since they reincarnated him back to his original world, he had no choice but to use that name once again.
'As if! Bleh! Just thinking about that I was once a member of this hypocritical household makes me want to puke! Argh!'
Ezekiel Zephyr Chevalier, a minor villain in the earlier volume in the world plot of [Mystique Enchantress].
The illegitimate child and the third son of Marquis Augustus Rynus Chevalier and serves as the third young master of the Chevalier household. Born from his commoner mother Aryna Asterrix, that makes him labeled as half-blood noble.
Because he is a half-blood noble, he couldn't manifest the bloodline ability of the Chevalier household, which is called the KNIGHT WARRIOR.
Knight Warrior is a bloodline ability that specializes in swordsmanship, armaments, and combat abilities. Since the establishment of the Stellarus Empire hundreds of years ago, the ancestors of the Chevaliers have been fighting in wars, and as a result, they were the only household in the empire to have the Knight Warrior bloodline.
As for the unlucky third young master of the Marquis Chevalier household, Ezekiel is the only stain within the honored name of the Chevaliers because of his inability to manifest their bloodline.
Because of that, the young Ezekiel grew up frustrated and timid since then, Within the noble society, for some unknown reason, he is the only half-blood noble that couldn't awaken his family's bloodline ability, which is a strange one.
In most cases for half-blood nobles, only a few can manifest their family's bloodline ability even if they were born outside of the main family bloodline.
There were few noble children out there who were born half-blood nobles and only selected of those children at least awakened their family's bloodline. Even though those half-bloods couldn't manifest their pure family's bloodline, at least they had awakened and gained a trait from it.
As for what bloodlines are?
BLOODLINES are inherited abilities from their ancestral family and possess unique skills based on their awakened bloodline, as they would gain traits after that. That's why intermarriages between distant families became a norm as they wanted to pass down their respective bloodline abilities to their descendants.
For example, if a family household possesses a bloodline of MAGUS, the traits that they could awakened either be a SPELLCASTER, ALCHEMIST or WIZARD. Just because they had manifested the same bloodline doesn't mean that they would have the similar traits as well.
According to the historical records, they stated that bloodline abilities came from the God's blessing during at the times of war way back hundreds of years ago. The Gods gave out their blessings to the people in order for them to fight back against the dark forces that were once plagued within the world.

Of course, the novel [Mystique Enchantress] didn't include information about the bloodlines and its history as it solely concentrates on the romance between the novel's heroine and her six male leads, who encountered struggles and obstacles on their journey towards happiness.
'What a romantic novel that only revolves around these people! So perfect if no one knows what the actual story was outside of the world plot.'
He snickered at the reminder of his own fate inside this f*cking plot!
Because he, as Ezekiel Zephyr Chevalier, born as a half-blood noble, never manifested the Knight Warrior bloodline of the Chevalier household.
In his first life, being labeled as a disgrace and good-for-nothing just because he couldn't do any better, unlike his older half-siblings, it frustrates him to the point he became depressed, and his self-esteem took a blow on it.
'I cringe whenever I think of them as my older siblings, since they loathe my existence within this household. As if I wanted to be here any longer.'
Back in his previous life as Ezekiel, those so-called half-siblings of his never raised their hands against him or hurt him. What they mostly did was just to outright ignore his existence whenever they saw him within the household and treated him like air and nothing else.
'It will be better to think of an immediate plan for me to get the hell out of here and sever my ties within this household completely….'
However, the only way for Eclipse to truly sever his ties as Ezekiel Zephyr Chevalier….
*SLAM!
"YOU B*STARD! How dare you utter those kinds of words at me?! Have you no sense of shame?! HA!"
Eclipse snapped from his thoughts and looked at the Marchioness in front of him who slammed her hands on the table and the dimensional traveler forgot a certain old pest who was still here at flaunting her authority right in front of him.
He mentally sighed and then, smirk evilly….
'Well, since she delivered herself here then, why not spice things up a little bit here…. ~~~'
