Little Tyrant Doesn't Want to Meet with a Bad End[1-200]

Chapter 32: The Culprit... Is Me!

Roel had a terrible nightmare.

 In it, he was kidnapped by massive ogres, who first put him in a shudderingly cold refrigerator before frying him in a blisteringly hot pan.

 Perhaps it was because Roel's skin was thicker than normal, such that the blisteringly hot pan didn't manage to thoroughly cook him, he was placed back into the refrigerator once more before being thrown into the hot pan yet again. This alternating freeze-fry treatment continued for two torturous days, inflicting such great suffering that Roel's consciousness had started fading near the end.

 It was only much later, when a girl's unbearable weeping gradually grew louder and louder in his ears, finally penetrating his stupor, that Roel regained consciousness. He slowly opened his heavy eyelids and saw an ornately designed ceiling above him.

 "This place is..."

 "Big brother Roel! You're finally awake! Wuuuu—"

 "Ali... cia?"

 The young man struggled to turn his head, only to have a silver-haired girl pulling him in. Before he knew it, he was already in the embrace of a bawling Alicia. No matter how he tried to console her, she simply wouldn't stop crying.

 Meanwhile, Anna began shouting loudly upon noticing that Roel had awoken.

 "Young master is awake!"

 "That's wonderful! I'll inform the old master right now!"

 The servants quickly relayed the news, and before long, anxious footsteps rapidly approached outside before a figure came bursting through the door. It was Carter.

 Roel was astonished to see his father acting in such an undignified manner for the very first time. However, Carter paid it no heed as he began examining Roel from head to toe worriedly.

 "Roel, you're finally awake. Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

 "I'm feeling fine, just a little tired."

 "That's good, that's good."

 Carter heaved a deep sigh as he nodded in relief.

 While comforting the crying Alicia, Roel asked his father what was going on, only to be shocked to learn that he had actually slept for three whole days!

 Or to be more accurate, he had been ill for three days now.

 It was on that night three days ago that Anna first noticed Roel lying unconscious beside a chair. Roel was in a delirious state then, and his body was burning up. The flustered Anna immediately ran off to inform Carter of the matter.

 Carter was in the midst of trying out his new clothes when he heard from the panicky Anna. Clothes were immediately tossed aside as he dashed straight over. Immediately, Carter moved his son over to the bed before instructing the servants to lower his temperature so as to prevent his body from overheating.

 It was around this time that someone noticed the serum containers and glass cup used to mix the serums together on Roel's table.

 Carter inspected the remaining liquid droplets inside the serum containers and noticed that they contained magic power inside them. The first thought that came to his mind was that someone had attempted to assassinate his son, so he immediately locked down the mansion and began casting spells to trace the culprit.

 "There's no need to investigate the matter. I drank the serums of my own accord!"

 Noticing that the matter was beginning to blow out of proportion, Roel quickly spoke up and intervened. He told Carter that he found some medicine inside the vault labeled to be 'body enhancing'. Out of a moment of recklessness to improve his constitution, he ended up drinking it.
