The concept of reincarnation was no stranger to me. You could find it everywhere you looked in the the twenty-first century; television, novels, manga, and animation. Ironically, reincarnation or transmigration was my favorite trope.

The year 1866, in the Moriarty Manor
William James Moriarty, the youngest child of the Moriarty household, had started having the most peculiar dreams for some time now. All of that began after tripping and hitting his head on the edge of the wooden table. He will admit, that it was the most excruciating experience of his life, well, at least, that's what he thought. He planned to blame it on the two adopted 'inferior creatures' though, for some reason, he did not feel like it.
'Why... does he look... so... familiar' William stared at his reflection in the mirror. His dirty blond hair was a slight mess. The boy's brown orbs stared at him, inexplicable feeling filled him but he could not put his finger on it.
'It is me but why do I look... unfamiliar... ugh... make it stop!' William clasped his head to stop the throbbing ache. His eyes filled with tears. Some random pictures flickered in his brain like a flash.
She was running but why? "Nononono! Watch out! Move, you stupid mortal--!" Then, nothing. All that is in her mind is... a bright light accompanied by a melancholic voice.
In addition, the nosebleeds started to get frequent but telling his family, no, it will be better to wait, it will pass. He took the red handkerchief and wiped the blood away. The red cloth will hide the bloodstains, and fewer questions will be asked.
His brother, Albert, kept giving his attention to the two adopted commoners. 'His expression that older brother giving them...' An image of Albert warmly smiling at the two orphans flashed in his mind. Jealousy stabbed William like a knife, and he disliked the nasty scar that was left behind, 'Those insects... they're brainwashing my older brother'
He decided to take revenge but before that... he eat some snacks before proceeding with the idea.
As she always expressed, "Food is the first priority..."
'Since when did I say that?'
"Oi, you, Louis, correct?"
"Yes, William-sama?"
"Make me some tea. I'm parched" William said with the usual bored expression but it became more challenging for the boy to keep it up. The strangest part being is his sudden urge to laugh or cackle like a lunatic. An incident he recalls was with the maids, where the one of them tripped while attending to their daily chores. The maid hit her head on the carpet layer which created a funny sound for William. The dirty blond boy snorted before concealing it with a poker face when the maid turned her head at him. The maid apologised profusely before excusing herself and running away at a sonic speed, "Run Forest, run-- What the actual fu--"
