There has always been the scent of perfume around Aster. Only Aster, a descendant of the king, could see the invisible spirits.

Maybe since then was where Aster’s endless obsession with Ritaus began.
At first, he hated all women in the world who could marry Ritaus. So if there was a girl among the relatives who wanted to get along with Ritaus, she would be very bad for him.
Aster began to mock the maids who served Ritaus. At first, the mockery was just harmless, as he used magic tricks that were limited to little things such as stumbling, broken dishes containing rice, or cutting the clothesline to dirty the laundry.
But the scope of it all began to worsen. Aster would make boiling water from the kettle gush out and scorch a poor maid’s face, causing severe burns. Then, another maid, who had climbed the high staircase to do some dusting, was made to poke herself in the eye and then thrown down the stairs. The maid had suffered a back injury and was unable to use her lower half of her body for the rest of her life.
Only after this did Count Ayjar and his wife realize the gravity of the situation. The child clearly understood what evil he was committing when his mind was distorted.
They needed to take quick action. Therefore, they decided to change all of Ritaus’s handmaidens to men. There were no more women around Ritaus.
Aster seemed to have stopped the evil acts as a result, so Count Ayjar and his wife finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But this was a big mistake.
Count Ayjar and his wife could not have imagined that the next targets would be people from Ritaus’s entourage.
The Duke of Lythi, Aster’s maternal grandfather, was often too busy managing the territory to care for Aster. Therefore, he usually left Aster to Ritaus, the eldest son of his relative, Count Ayjar.
Ritaus conscientiously carried out the orders from the Duke of Lythi and Count Ayjar. He did what Aster wanted, because he knew what he would do if he didn’t get what he wanted.
He read books, played hide and seek, and played the role Aster wanted. If he wanted to dance together, he would dance. He would hug him when asked, and if asked to kiss him, he would happily kiss Aster’s lips.
Over time, Aster gradually began to rely on Ritaus in his mind. Ritaus was the only one for him who had no parents, no brothers, and no friends. But even that time ended when Ritaus turned 14 and entered Kratie Boarding Academy.
“Why don’t you come to my house anymore?”
“It’s because I’m attending the Boarding Academy. I won’t be able to come as often as before.”
Ritaus, dressed in Kratie’s uniform, looked depressed. Aster’s mood was quickly spoiled. He was still here alone, while Ritaus was out exploring the world. He was leaving Aster.
“Then I’ll go too.”
“Astel, Astel, you cannot officially appear in society!”
“My name is Aster. Not Astel!”
