The Identity he had Forsaken

**********

According to the current timeline, after a month of summer break, he will attend the academy and enter his sophomore year. That would be the start of his so-called downfall because of the novel's heroine, who would attend at the academy in her freshmen year because of her special admission.

'Special admission, my a**!'

If he didn't know the whole context of the world plot and his vague memories from his first life, he would also think that as well.

However, that is not the case.

'It will be better for me if I won't get involved in the world plot. I wasn't planning to go back at the academy and before the summer break ends, I will disappear from this household.'

*KNOCK!

*KNOCK!

*KNOCK!

Eclipse snapped from his thoughts when someone knocked on his door, and frowns at it but cleared his throat to answer.

"Who's there?"

'At the middle of the night? Seriously? Who would dare to knock on my bedroom at this late night? I already dismissed the servants and I know no one wants to serve me because of my reputation as a bad-tempered child.'

???; "It's me. We need to talk."

Eclipse; "!!!"

A familiar voice from behind those closed doors that made Eclipse stiffen as his blood boils in anger because of the audacity of this person to seek him out like this!

'What the f*cking hell?!'

...

........

'Argh! What the f*ck is she doing here?! I don't have time to deal with her… yet.'

Eclipse didn't know why this woman, the Marchioness, and the Madam of the Household, comes at him and for the reason she wanted to chat with him.

'In the middle of the night? Is she an idiot? Does she really think I won't sense her motive?'

Eclipse didn't hide his distasteful at the woman who just waltz inside to his room and walked around as if she owned the floor she walks into and the audacity of her to make herself feel at ease inside his own room.

'Just because you're the Marchioness and the legal wife of the Marquis doesn't mean you can do whatever you want! I still haven't forgotten what you have done, you wench, old woman!'

CHARLOTTE AINSIELLE CHEVALIER, the current Marchioness, and the legal wife of the Marquis. She is the biological mother of Eclipse's older siblings.

From what he remembered; she came from the noble Count Fleener's household as the eldest lady. The Fleener household is a distant relative of the Chevalier household since intermarriage is a norm amongst the noble society.

'She felt entitled because of her status as the eldest lady of Fleener and now as the legal wife and the Marchioness of Chevalier household. I wonder what would be her reaction if they dragged her down to her highest seat in the mud? That would be a fascinating view if that happens.'

"How have you been, youngest? Your Father and your siblings are worried for you because of what happened earlier at the dining hall."

Eclipse snorted; "Really? Do I need to feel honored that dear FATHER and my dear SIBLINGS are now worried about me? Oh, come on! As if I don't know what your motives are, Marchioness."

The Marchioness, known for her elegance, loses her composure when he delivers a sudden sharp-tongued statement, causing him to smirk at her startled reaction.

'As if I would be subservient just like before. Tsk! Just get the f*cking hell out of here! Your presence makes me sick!'

"How dare you—"

Eclipse cut off an insolent dog servant by the Marchioness' side and glared at him; "And who are you to speak to me like that?! Just because you're licking into the Marchioness' thighs doesn't mean that you're any higher than me, insolent dog servant! Know your place! I might be an illegitimate child of this household, but remember, I still hold the Chevalier name while you are nothing but a dog who keeps on wagging its tail for its master! That is your place!"

He yelled at the servant, who dared to speak rudely at him as if he was anything higher than him! The audacity!

The servant that Eclipse yelled at is now fuming in red with anger and wanted to refute when the servant felt the cold gaze coming from its master and retreated from behind as he bow down his head.

The Marchioness, Charlotte, didn't expect that this child would be like this, and she knew that something had changed in him when he joined them at the dinner earlier. She didn't know what had happened to him, but she was here to find out.

She sighed as she tried to ease the tension around them as she smiled; "Pardon my servant if he disrespect you. I'll make sure to punish him later on."

Charlotte tried to look friendly as possible, but Eclipse won't buy it as he had a deadpan expression plastered on his face.

"State your business, Marchioness."

Eclipse stated bluntly and paused for a minute and after that, he smirks as he continued; "Also, don't you find it strange that you seek me out in the middle of the night? What if others think something…. Unpleasant about this matter? ~~~"

When Charlotte heard what Eclipse said, her composure snapped from that moment because of the words coming from that bastard's child that she didn't like it and she felt insulted as a noblewoman.

"Watch what were you saying, EZEKIEL ZEPHYR CHEVALIER! I am still the Marchioness of this household and your stepmother! Show some respect!"

EZEKIEL ZEPHYR CHEVALIER, the identity that he had forsaken the moment he died from his previous life, and it's been millennium years since he got heard this name from someone else.

Eclipse's face darkened as he clenched his fist upon hearing what the Marchioness called him because the name is still tied to him in this world and it makes him sick to the bones.

He looked straight into the Marchioness' jade-colored eyes and coldly stated; "OUT."

Charlotte raised an eyebrow at the insolent child in front of her; "Excuse me?"

"I said. OUT! Do you want me to drag you out of my room or you will voluntarily step out of my room since you trespassed here in the middle of the night? This is unbecoming for a noblewoman such as yourself to visit his underage stepson at the times like this."
