Your typical reincarnation story

2. I got adopted

~Hayden's p.o.v~

Continuing on, I was adopted into a wealthy aristocratic family that isn't well-known enough in the otome game. Woohoo easy life here I come.

To be honest, I had no idea why I was adopted, so I asked my new "father."

"Oh, it's because you resemble our youngest son, who died a year ago; my wife is still denying his death, so I adopted you to make her happy."

This is disrespectful to your youngest child, and "father," I don't think you should say that to a kid casually.

Anyway, I can kind of anticipate what happened to this cannon fodder villain backstory after hearing his response. He's just a guy designated to be disliked by everyone, as the creators didn't bother to describe his backstory in the first place on the otome.

In short, this canon fodder villain was adopted to play the role of the youngest kid that died in order to make the mother "happy." It did, but the other siblings thought the canon fodder villain was attempting to steal their mother and replace their brother. As a result, he was bullied and turned into a jerk, eventually leading to his death.

Great.Amazing.Fantastic.

So, we'll think about it later. Now let's see how much my "mother" can spoil me. MUAHAHAHHA

~After a few weeks~

BAM

" HOW DARE YOU TRY TO TAKE MOM AWAY FROM US!!"

oopsie
I guess I went overboard.

Whatever the case, I was having a blast trying new foods. It was well worth the effort.

My "siblings" are currently in front of me.
Ezekiel The eldest son, 14 years old, with red puffy hair and emerald green eyes glaring daggers at me, is the one who yelled at me. Leon, the second oldest, is 12 years old, with black straight hair and red eyes, and he looks at me like I'm rubbish. Rell, the second youngest, is hiding behind both of them, 10 years old with red straight hair and red eyes.

Oh, and my name is now Wenz Dominique, not Hayden, though it's difficult to be called something you don't recognize.

"What exactly do you mean by that?" I questioned.

" DON'T PLAY INNOCENT, WE KNOW WHAT YOU WERE DOING!" Ezekiel yelled at me so loudly that my ears hurt.

My "mother" interrupted both of us before I could respond, "THE THREE OF YOU, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?? DON'T SHOUT AT WENZ! APOLOGIZE!"

"but-

"NOW!

"

My "siblings" exchanged glances before bowing together. "I apologize for our behavior," they said.

Though it doesn't appear to be authentic. I think I can see why they despise me; I crossed the boundary by accident.

"It's all right, I'm sorry for taking up so much of your time, Mother." I bowed as well.

"Awwww, isn't this nice?" she said, clasping her hands together. "Now go play with each other," she laughed, and walked away, leaving us four alone.

.....

.....

.....

"How dare you try to replace Wenz, you stranger," Leon said, breaking the silence in the room.

Why are you blaming me for getting adopted against my will?

" They chose to adopt me, not the other way around."

" Funny, it's obvious you used your charms because you look like Wenz."

It's pointless to argue with them, oh my god.

I left the room, went to my bedroom, and locked the door, tired of their nonsense. They might kill me in my sleep if I didn't lock the door every night.

I sank into my bed.

My apologies for getting ahead of myself. I've been hungry since ever I was reincarnated, okay? Of course, I'll be curious about other world foods.

I think I should apologize. Should I? But, I don't want to do so.

Not wanting to avoid my responsibilities, I got out of bed, unlocked the door, and off we go in search of my "siblings."

I'm not good at describing stuff, but the place is huge, but it's also really plain and dull. Perhaps it's because I'm not a big fan of portraits, but the paintings and design here are really basic..

I haven't seen everything this place has to offer yet.

.....

~ After a few minutes ~

Man, I sure do love exploring and day dreaming because I got lost.

I have the feeling that I will meet an important figure.

Like, say, meeting the crown prince by accident?
