1 I want to annul the engagement

Transmigration.

Opening my eyes, I saw an unfamiliar ceiling, still half asleep, I mustered my energy to sit up and rub my weary eyes,

However what appeared before my eyes is a luxurious room furnished in medieval style,

 "Where am I ?? "

This is the only sentence came out of my mouth as my head started throbbing with pain,

"Argh..."

A groan came out of my mouth as I tried to suppress my voice even though my head was throbbing with pain,

The headache remained for about an hour before disappearing completely leaving me with unfamiliar memories,

Sorting out the memories, I found myself in a situation that every novel reader dreamt of, but in an completely different outcome,

I have transmigrated in a fantasy novel I used to read but not as a main character but as an villain that is going to die by the hands of the main character,

I have transmigrated as Archie Everheart, the mid villain of the novel 'The hero Arthur ',

The world I have transmigrated is also different from my former world,

The most vivid difference would be the presence of mana in this world,

This world is still in its medieval stage with many diverse races other than humans,

This world is couple of times larger too, with many countries and with the presence of these countries, there is always a war happening in some part of the world,

Archie is from the Everheart family, one of the most powerful noble families of Alvin kingdom,

There are only four major noble families in this kingdom, The Everheart family in the east, Bourbon family in the west, Stuart family in the north and Dunkeld family in the south.

Archie's father holds the position of the head of Everheart family and also one of the few grand swordsmen of the human race,

The swordsman rank starts from novice, elementary, intermediate, advanced, great, grand and then heavenly swordsman.

Archie's mother was from the Bourbon family and is also one of the few grand sages of the human race,

The rank of the mage starts from novice, elementary, intermediate, advanced, sage, grand sage and then heavenly sage,

Archie possesses a dual talent in both magic and swordsmanship, showcasing the potential of becoming a magic swordsman,

But alas he was reduced to a mid-level villain and was trampled by the hero,

With a sigh, I stood up and walked up to the mirror, to my astonishment, the reflection staring back at me was far from what I had expected,

I saw a young guy with silver hair and exquisite facial features.

"I have seen many handsome movie stars in my previous life, but they all fail in cham I have now!! "

A smile appeared in my face as I caressed my face with my hand

"Sigh... "

"But alas, this guy was supposed to be a villain, licking dog of his fiancé "

"With this handsome face, background and talent, which women could you not get"

Ding!!

"System initializing.... 10%...20%...30% "

 I suddenly heard a mechanical sound and got frightened and looked around,

But soon realized that this is the golden finger of every regressed guy,

"Finally my golden finger arrived"

"Ding!!" 

"System integrated successfully. "

"System " I quickly called out the system..

A translucent screen appeared in front of my eyes with my information displayed,

Host- Archie Everheart

Age - 15

Hp - 400

Mp - 400

Talent- A rank

Swordsmanship - Intermediate (22%)

Magic - Intermediate (15%)

I was exited at first but my excitement turned into disappointment quickly as the system never replied, it only showed my status screen,

"Hey system.. " I tried calling it out again but I suppose I only obtained a status screen,

"Haah... atleast I am talented and have larger mana pool and health then others"

!!knock knock!!

"Young master, may I have the permission to enter? "

I suddenly heard a female's voice from outside my room,

"This must be my personal maid Anna assigned by my parents "

I tidied my cloths and changed my demeanor similar to Archie, it wasn't perfect, but nobody would suspect me because of the Archie's behavior.

"Enter "

A girl in her twenties wearing a maid's outfit entered the room,

She bowed and said,

"You parents and sister have arrived and are waiting for your arrival downstairs."

I didn't say anything but observed Anna while thinking,

'She didn't leave Archie's side until the end '

'She is also an advanced mage and was rescued by my parents '

Anna was also confused as to why I didn't give her and answer and was staring her,

'What's wrong with young master, why is he not answering me? '

Looking at Anna's changing expression, I came back to my senses and said with a gentle yet commanding tone,

"I will come down in a moment "

Anna then bowed and left the room with a surprised expression on her face,

I saw Anna closing the door and then took a deep breath to calm myself down,

"I am Archie now " saying this, I also walked out of the room,

Outside the room, the hallway is being guarded with many guards with the minimum rank of advanced swordmen,

 They all averted my gaze as I walked past them.

As I descended the staircase, once again I was taken aback by the opulence of the living room,

I saw my parents were seated comfortably on the couch and savoring the tea.

Both my parents appeared youthful as in their twenties but they were in fact in their forties, thanks to the extended human lifespan caused by the mana usage.

Lifespan increases as you advance through the ranks of warriors and mages,

My father also had silver hair and eyes like me and was handsome too,

While mother had brown hairs, blue eyes and could humble movie actresses in beauty,

As I made my way down the staircase, their faces lit up with affection.

My mother, Diana Everheart eagerly rushed towards me, arms wide open for an embrace,

While my father John Everheart stood at his place with his eyes filled with adoration.

On the other hand, my sister wore a subtle expression of vary, perhaps due to my previous behavior.

The real Archie was jealous of her sister Mary Everheart,

Well she was not her real sister and was the daughter of his father's friend that his father adopted after her family was destroyed by some organization.

She was in trauma so his parents give almost all of their attention to her leaving him with maids, so he was jealous of her.

You can't even blame him, as he was a child whose parents suddenly started caring some other child, giving her most of the time and attention that was supposed to be his.

He only gets a hug and affectionate look from his parents.

I stopped Archie's mother from hugging me by raising my hand and swiftly moving aside,

This caused her to look at me with her eyes wide and jaw dropped with surprise,

Well she is not my mother, so I shouldn't hug some random women even though she is beautiful.

She looked back to my father with teary eyes,

"What are you doing? " My father said in heavy tone mixed in anger as he saw tears forming in my mother's eyes.

I looked at him and said,

"I am not a kid anymore "

"You will always be kid for me " My mother said as she approached me with her hand raised to touch my face,

But I dodged and said,

"Please mother, don't embarrass me in presence of servants. "

This caused a slight breakdown of my mother as she fell down on her knees with tears continuedly flowing through my eyes,

My father ran towards her and supported her,

While Mary came up to me and said with teary eyes,

"How can you say something so cruel to our mother? "

I looked her with a frown and said,

"She might be your mother but not mine "

This caused another shock to my mother causing her to fainted,

Mary saw my mother fainting and rushed to her side,

While my father was enraged as he turned to look at me,

The mana around him rose violently causing me to fly back and hit the wall.

I lost my consciousness as I soon as I fell on the floor.

...

"Archie... Archie... Archie... " I heard my mother's concerned voice as I slowly opened my eyes,

 I found myself lying in the bed as my mother was sitting beside me crying,

My father who has bruises on his face and sister were standing beside her with worried expression,

My mother hugged me tightly as she saw me opening my eyes,

"Are you okay baby?? "

I mustered up some strength and tried to move her away from me but found my strength unable to budge her,

"Mother please don't embarrass me " In the end, this is the only sentence came out of my mouth,

But this caused my mother to hug me more tightly with tears flowing from her eyes,

"How can you say something so cruel to your mother? " She said sobbingly.

Hearing my mother's anguished words, I also felt a subtle pain in my heart,

'Are these the remaining emotions of Archie ' I pondered,

I heard my father's irritated voice ,

"Why are you throwing these tantrums, What do you want now? "

My mother also chimed in, 

"Yes, tell me what you want, I promise to get that for you "

Mary also said,

"Yes brother, tell mother what you want? "

"Mother will not disagree your request "

A small mocking laugh came out of my mouth causing my mother to let go of me,

But the laugh quickly disappeared as I felt a little anger in my heart and I shouted,

"I don't want anything now... "

I felt the anger subside but was replaced with sadness,

"The thing I required and was rightfully mine is the past now "

This caused a wave of confusion among my parents,

Mother said with anger: "Who took things from my son... tell me, I will kill that bastard "

 Father also said with anger in his tone,

"Yes son, tell us... which bastard got the nerve to bully our son "

A chuckle released from my mouth as I saw their angry faces,

My chuckle also confused my parents as they looked at each other,

I said: "It was you who took away the thing that belonged to me "

Tears were forming in my eyes as I said this, but I controlled Archie's emotions,

My parents were also surprised by my words,

Only my sister looked at me the way like she understood what I was talking about,

She was mature then most of her peers because of her past,

I said: "You threw me away to the maids and gave all my affection to Mary "

"Even though you only visited us once or twice a month, but you gave all the affection to Mary casting me aside " 

"I knew she was going through difficult times, but this doesn't mean that you abandon me "

With every word, I could feel Archie's leftover emotions began to diminish,

And my parents were realizing their fault. 

Tears were forming in their eyes as their faces were slowly turning apologetic, 

Even Mary's eyes were teary, but she was clenching her fist to stop her from crying,

I continued: "I would have been happy if you could only give me and hour of your day "

"But you just hugged me upon your arrival and departure"

"I am your son not some relative. "

Tears started rolling down my parents eyes as words were stuck in their throat,

Mary looked at the guilty expression on my parents faces and said with tears rolling down her eyes,

"Brother I am sorry... I never realized I caused you this much pain "

"I will leave the family so not to cause you any more trouble "

My parents showed a suppressed pained expression as they heard Mary's words,

I sighed as my gaze turned to Mary,

I said: "So you are just going to leave after taking away my parents from me? "

Mary tightened her clenched fist causing her nails to dig in her palm and her blood dripped on the floor,

Mary sobbed *Sob* and said: "I will do anything you ask me to do, just forgive mother and father "

"Hahaha... " I don't know why but I laughed a little manically,

My parents and Mary were shocked seeing me like this,

They even forgot they were crying as their tears stopped flowing,

My mother quickly hugged me tightly,

She said, "Archie.. what happened to you? "

I ignored my mother and looked towards my sister,

I said: "You can't go "

This caused my sister to look at me confused,

Mary asked: "What do you mean? "

I said: "Who is going to stay by mother and father's side if we both leave "

My mother's body started shaking as she heard this,

While my father sat on the bed with his eyes wide open,

At this time nobody could tell that they were among the strongest warriors of the country,

My mother said with trembling voice,

"Please don't... leave us "

My father also said, "We are sorry that we didn't realize our mistake earlier, but you can't just leave us "

Mary also said, "Yes brother, you can't leave... I will leave and go far away from your life "

I tenderly pushed away my mother who was hugging me,

I said: "I can live, but you have to comply to my requests "

Both my mother and father eagerly nodded,

My mother said: "We will agree to anything you want as long as you don't leave us "

My father also nodded and said, "Yes, just tell us your wish "

A little smile appeared on my face as I heard this,

'Let's start by removing the major reason for Archie's death in the novel '

The first would be my fiancé, Emma Tudor.

She is daughter of king Harold Tudor and third in line of succession of throne,

In the novel, she only agreed to marry me because she needed the support of Everheart family,

In this world, the women can also take part in succession of the throne,

In the novel, the real Archie fell in love with her the moment he saw her,

He became so obsessed with her that he would do beat any boy would even stare her for more than a second,

Well, she is a beauty that people can't take their eyes off, so Archie fought with a lot of people,

In his birthday party couple of days from now, he even fought with the next successors of two major families causing a war to erupt among the three families,

His parents got so busy in the war that they couldn't help him when he was being trampled by the hero,

The second problem would be the Maple leaf academy where the story truly started,

I looked at my parents that were eagerly waiting for my requests,

I said: "I want to annul my engagement with Emma. "

My words caused another astonished look from my parents and sister,

As they know how much I am obsessed with her,

And also, this could cause the dissatisfaction of the royal family,

But despite of this, a bright smile appeared on the faces of my parents and sister,

My mother said happily, "Consider it done "

My father said, "This might cause some discontent from the royal family, but we can handle that much "

My mother said, "I always thought that girl is not worthy of my son "

My father also chimed in, " Yeah, but you liked her so much so we let it be "

"We can announce your annulment on your birthday "

I saw my parents faces lit up with happiness,

I was an orphan in my last life, so I don't know the love of parents,

A sudden thought came to my mind,

'Well I didn't have parents in my last life... But I can change it in this life '

'I can adopt parents. '

My gaze then fell upon Mary that was looking at us with a satisfied smile,

Mary said, "I will go now... Mother, father... thank you for everything "

My parents happy faces suddenly turned into sad with tears again forming on my mother's eyes,

I saw Mary that was now crying with her head down and clenched fist,

'Well, there's nothing wrong with having a sister too... '

'This way I can experience a whole family '

I said, "You can go but you have to return the things that were rightfully mine"

My words again caused my parents to look at me with pleading eyes,

But they didn't say anything in fear of losing me,

Mary looked at me with tender eyes and threw the sword and jewelries on the floor,

"These should belong to you rightfully "

I sighed and said, "These things are nothing compared to what you took away from me "

Mary said sobbingly, "I don't have anything else from these to return you"

I said: "I want the extra love, affection and care that my parents gave you "

Mary fell down on her knees as she heard this,

My mother said, "Archie... can you please let her go in peace "

I said, "Not until she loves me, cares me, spoils me tenfold. "

My words again caused my parents and sister to look at me confused,

I smiled and said, "How can you leave without paying me back "

My words were causing a roller-coaster of emotions,

Mary asked confused, "What do you mean? "

I said, "It's a duty of elder sister to love her younger brother "

"So I want my sister's love but tenfold. "

Mary's mind went blank for some time as she processed what just happened,

But after some seconds, she rushed on the bed and hugged me tightly while crying,

Mary said, "I will love you, I will spoil you hundredfold "

Suddenly I heard my parents laughter,

The atmosphere of the room lighted down a lot after this,

The laughter of four people could be heard from the room,

We talked about a lot, mostly about my childhood and the things we did together, 

"Ding" "congratulations host for successfully changing your destiny "
