What? I Actually Reincarnated As Stepping Stone In Another World?

Arthur walked with Runa to the front gate of the mansion. Along the way, everyone in the mansion couldn't take their eyes off Arthur, who was wearing formal royal attire.

"Look!"

"That is young master Arthur!" shouted a female maid.

"Very handsome!!"

"That's right! He's so handsome!"

"Although his face still looks childish, somehow it makes me unable to take my eyes off him."

"If he grows up, how deadly will he be to girls?"

"Kyaa! I can't wait for him to grow up and make me his concubine!"

"Dream on! I'm the one who will be his wife!"

Several female maids gathered and whispered while looking at Arthur. Even the male guards couldn't help but feel amazed when they saw Arthur's figure in such formal clothes.

Arthur, who was walking, of course, heard some of their whispers, but he didn't really care. He was used to this and wasn't bothered at all.

By the way, everyone in the mansion already knew that Duke Asvold was Arthur's only son and potential heir.

However, they were all forbidden from spreading the news about him so that no one else in the Balka Empire would know that Duke Asvold had an heir.

Of course, there were some parties who knew about it, such as the Imperial Family and Duke Wilhelm's Family, each of whom had its own powerful intelligence network. It was very easy for them to get news about him.

Other than them, it should be impossible for others to know about him.

Soon, the two arrived in front of the mansion's gate.

It was quite a distance between the mansion and the gate, but Arthur didn't want to use the carriage because he thought that he needed to appear in front of the servants and guards at the mansion more often.

After all, after the awakening ceremony, he would officially become the heir apparent of Duke Asvold and their master.

He also wanted to enjoy this short period of peace, knowing that once he awakened his power and was introduced as Duke Asvold's heir, things would definitely change.

Arthur saw the butler waiting for him at the gate.

Behind the butler who was waiting for him was a very luxurious horse-drawn carriage, even more so than the one that had picked him up in the past.

However, what amazed him the most was the line of a thousand horsemen lined up as if waiting for orders.

"It's really quite marvelous." Arthur thought as he walked towards the butler.

"Butler." Arthur greeted him with a gentle smile on his face.

"Young master." The butler bowed respectfully to Arthur, then turned his attention to him, and an admiring look appeared in his eyes.

"Young master, you are really very handsome." Complimented the butler honestly.

"Thank you for your compliment." Arthur smiled and replied lightly.

"You're welcome, young master; Lady Elizabeth really gave birth to a son as perfect as you." The butler, who rarely smiled, suddenly showed a slight smile on his lips and spoke unnaturally.

"Yes, that's right."

"She is a very good mother." Arthur shook his head and smiled a little.

By the way, he quite missed the figure of his mother, who had been missing for quite a while.

Although he was used to being without her, somehow he was very worried about her safety.

"I hope you're okay, Mom."

"After this event, I will start to really carry out all my plans and help you." Arthur thought to himself.

Soon, Arthur suddenly thought of something and looked at the butler curiously.

"By the way, where is Alicia?" Arthur asked the butler.

"Young lady Alicia has already left early for Rozen with Lady Carina, young master." The butler said this without hesitation and immediately explained it to Arthur.

After hearing the explanation, Arthur held his chin and pondered.

"Alicia has already left with her mother, Carina." The thought occurred to Arthur while analyzing Carina's character in the novel.

"Carina... Interesting!" Arthur smiled faintly and whispered.

Immediately, he looked at the butler and said lightly, "Let's go!"

"Okay!" The butler replied respectfully.

Soon, the three of them left in a luxurious horse-drawn carriage bearing the symbol of Duke Asvold, followed by a thousand horsemen, for Rozen.

....

Rozen

In the center of Rozen's main square, a lot of people gathered for the awakening event.

Rozen was a large city, being the capital of the southern region of the Balka Empire, with a population of hundreds of thousands of people.

The people were enthusiastic about the event, hoping that their child could awaken their core and be selected by Duke Asvold's mansion.

The presence of Luvic nobles, who held power under Duke Asvold's mansion, increased the chances of their children being selected even more.

"At least if they are not chosen by Duke Asvold's mansion, they may still have a chance to be selected by the Luvic noble family, right?"

This was the thought of every single person.

Suddenly,

"Look, that carriage looks so luxurious!"

"Right!"

"Look at the coat of arms!"

"It's a bright green sun sign!"

"The top-tier Luvic family, the Weis family!"

Several people shouted in hysterics and awe at the same time as they saw the luxurious horse-drawn carriage with the green sun emblem making its way toward the center of the square.

"Look!"

"That's another high-ranking Luvic family carriage!"

"The Valha family!"

The people continued to exclaim as they saw several other Luvic families' luxurious horse-drawn carriages coming towards the city center.

Until they all saw a line of Luvic noble families of all levels, from high to low, all marching towards the city center.

"That's crazy!"

"Is this the prestige of the Asvold family, one of the three founders of the Balka Empire?" Thought everyone in Rozen who watched the carriages of the Luvic noble families marching toward the city center.

There were only two words when they saw this: "How horrible!"
