Aurelius.

He had long white hair tied in a pony tail , scarlet eyes and long elf like ears. He was incredibly thin and taller. He was handsome despite his pale and thin figure.

Cole suddenly clenched his head as memories rushed in . The memories he saw were like watching television and had no reation to him.

The body he inhabited was born 17 years ago by a prostitute and a nobleman of the Miniel Dynasty . In this world terrible beasts roamed the world and most dynasties were enclosed in a big and sturdy wall were no man could infiltrate .

They had advanced so far in magic that most things were powered by it . Ships that could traverse the air , vehicles fast enough to reach 100km/hr and many more.

This body was named Aurelius and immediately the nobleman took him into his mansion and raised him with his children . Cole could say that his life was full of hardships. Due to being half dark elf and the son of a harlot , the legitimate children of the nobleman Eilmund Dover made it their personal mission to torture him.

His legitimate mother felt compassion or rather greed to possess him knowing full well she could cater for the lifestyle she grew familiar with when she was given the money . However Eilmund was a no nonsense man that killed her .

Later he became sick to the point of being comatose . He wasn't actually sick but rather his half-brother Ben Dover was poisoning him due to unknown reasons. When his father found about it he was furious and Ben Dover was exiled for a month . He came back two months ago with a strong hatred against him.

Two weeks ago , he overheard his father's true intentions of conceiving him . Aurelius was nothing but an important pawn in the grand game of the kingdom.

The Dover household had a rich history . Their ancestors had killed the demon king 400 years ago and due to this the king had made him a nobleman. From a lowly peasant to a duke was quite an achievement.

This made their relationships with the demons more horrible . The rest of the dynasties had become amicable with the demons the moment the dungeons and towers descended but not the Proud Miniel Dynasty.

That was until greed took over them when they saw how fast other kingdoms were advancing due to the alliance to the point their kingdom was becomig 2nd rate to those 1st rate kingdoms.

They couldn't stay like this so they sought an alliance. The current demon king proposed marriage which shook them to the core. A marriage alliance was literally meaning they were to be family and not mutual beneficiaries. That meant no more war or anything in this planet Terraria.

The king agreed . However he did not want his children to marry the demons who to them looked quite ugly and they were. Most of them had ugly rough skin and large tentacles sprawling from their backs. 

So he being a diplomat threw the Denver household which had killed their king 400 years ago and to his delight they agreed.

Eilmund's wife Mila Dvover refused to have any of her kids marry such a disgusting creature so she suggested Eilmund look for a prostitute and get a sacrificial lamb. A sacrificial lamb under the name Aurelius.

Worst of all tomorrow was the day the marriage was to take place.

" Ugh , What a predicament " He murmured to himself. He wasn't dead or so he believed so that meant this place was the test . Now what is the test ? Perhaps he could search Aurelius memory for clues.

He smiled as he found a clue. Aurelius had been obsessed by a legend that had haunted his dreams since he was a child.

A dream of pure power through an inheritance . Now why did it sound familiar ?

Anyway , He had the first half of the clue that surmised a total of three clues in his head but he didn't know where they were exactly . This didn't seem strange to him as this was a world of magic , what was normal .

The problem was where the other half was . Never the matter , he would find where they were.

' System ' He thought.

" ..... "

Nothing happened .

" System " He now said this in a low tone . Once again nothing happened making him sigh .

He guessed he had to do this the old fashioned way . But just he was thinking that he heard a familiar voice.

[ System fully initiated ]

[ Apologies to the host , bypassing the firewall took time as I have not been updated . The strange being also has a 2% chance of finding about me ]

The system said. 

' When will you be update ' He asked . He did not want anyone to know of his involvement. 

[ I can start now with your permission . It will take about 24 hours. ] 

' Show me this body's status first. ' He thought .

Cole sighed seeing such abysmall strength but he didn't complain . He only hoped that that woman he was fighting did not find him.

" But finding one person in the millions of people here would be nearly impossible. Even if she filtered for probability with this body she would search for a lose end " Cole now Aurelius muttered.

His current problem now was the marriage and strength. Marriage occupied the most important and immediate thing . He couldn't escape nor could he fake death . It seemed this was a dead end . He could do nothing to escape.

The only option was to escape after he was strong enough. The problem was he was afraid of the being he would marry. He was lying if he said looks didn't matter. He really was unlucky this time. He just hoped he would not have to copulate with those terrifying beings.

As for strength . He would wait for the system to update before deciding further. 

KNOCK KNOCK . 

A light knock was heard at the door . Cole struggled to move momentarily lamenting over his body . He promised in his heart to make Ben Dover suffer .

He oppened the door and an old gray haired maid greeted him.

" Sir Eilmund requests you to meet him in an hours time " Cole nodded then dismissed the maid.

He went to shower and change his clothes in a formal attire. Luckily he woke up when Aurelius didn't need help from the maids to shower.

After taking a bath that refreshed him and wearing elegant clothes that felt too stuffy and uncomfortable , he walked to the dining hall.

An elegant table was set and breakfast was made beautifully . All his four siblings sat at the table as they practiced etiquette while eating . His father and stepmother too ate elegantly fit for a noble. 

When Eilmund saw him , he gestured him to sitt next to him. The siblings slightly frowned at the blantant favourism . Eilmund after all always treated Aurelius better than the rest of them .

Cole did so and sat next to him. He silently and elegantly at his dinner like the rest . After that Eilmund called for the table to be cleared.

He then stood up and smiled at the family.

" Today is a joyous occasion as today , My son Aurelius Dover becomes a man . Today is the day he marries into the Demon Royal Family , Astaroth " He said as he lookedto see his son's reaction.

Aurelius had visibly paled . This was expected , but he knew no matter what happened Aurelius would go with his wishes because he was too much of a wimp.

Ben Dover had the greatest shit eating grin . He now understood why his father was so angry when he poisoned him . He clapped his hands even giving a ' woohoo ' just to mock Aurelius.

He cherished seeing Aurelius pale even more . The other siblings followed his lead basking in the suffering of Aurelius. 

" I hope you understand the importance of this marriage ? " Eilmund asked. Aurelius gave a small nod before lowering his head.

" Good , we will all be leaving to the royal palace where the wedding will take place in "
