After writing a note inside the <Square>, Evan returned to his room.
Tomorrow, he would go to the Winchester Estate. A huge, magnificent mansion built out of the black rock of the Wilners Mountains.
He had been there many times. More than twenty times, in fact.
The mansion had always smelt of death, and he had seen the dying faces of many, and the blood that flowed from them.
He had plunged his sword into them and condemned them. They were villains who deserved such a fate.
But it was the first time he had gone so young, and the first time he had gone without having been awakened.
Even without it, his swordsmanship alone could withstand a dozen of Recardo Winchester’s attacks, so there will be no threat to him.
The only variable might be Jin Winchester.
And…… the powerful lady with the thin, bright silver hair.
‘Thoroughly investigate the third child of the Winchester Estate. She is not an ordinary child.’
He must definitely meet Sasha Winchester.
At some point, as he stepped toward the pitch-black window, his eyebrows twitched.
When he turned his head, there was a man approaching him without warning.
“What’s going on?”
Evan furrowed his eyebrows.

Luce Legwin, the captain of the guards at the Taylors Mansion.
In Evan’s estimation, Luce’s skills weren’t normally good enough to keep himself hidden like that.
Evan raised an eyebrow, and Luce knelt down in front of him and held something out of his arms.
It was a red pouch filled with something.
“My lord has a special commission for you, Young Master.”
Evan did not take it but stared at it quietly. The captain of the guard raised his head and looked at Evan.
“Put this powder in Winchester’s meal. Let as many people as possible perish…”
Evan suddenly recalled a scene from several years ago. After the hunting competition, at the banquet, ironically, Recardo Winchester appeared with a baby in his arms.
And then the tables had turned. Because of the memories flowing from Sasha Winchester’s mind.
“……Luce.” Evan knew the familiar smell of the captain of the guard. “Does your master know Sasha Winchester?”
“Huh?”
Evan took the red pouch the captain handed him. The captain of the guard’s face took on a pale color.
If it had been his third or fifth regression, he would have followed this order without hesitation.
But now…….
“……!”
Evan grabbed the captain by the hair and sealed his mouth with the red pouch he held in his hand.
He could see the poison rising to the captain’s face, alongside a Kaisa crest tattooed behind his ear; he had been a corpse all along.
“I know it was not my father’s order.”
Bloodshot eyes clouded over, and the captain’s body went limp.
Several years ago, Chenoa Taylor investigated Sasha Winchester, but there was no known information except that she was a child born of a woman from Quenne.
“Whoever she is, I have no intention of messing with her now.”
Evan took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands stained with ashes.
“I’m only interested in that child.”
His blue eyes sank coldly.

[Name: Sasha Winchester (LV.7)]
[Occupation: Unemployed]
[Traits: Rattle Master, Little Explorer]
[Stats: Stamina 18 / Strength 10 / Ability – / Intelligence 31
*There are unopened stats.]
[Skill: Black Domination (LV.3/SS)]
[Inventory: Secret of the Blue Falcon / 370 Rubies]
At the age of seven, I have leveled up to level 7.
When I was younger, my level seemed to rise a little late, perhaps due to my slow growth. But now, seeing my level rise almost immediately after the new year, it seemed to be a growth-specific level.
Detailed stats were revealed from level 5, but apart from intelligence, which grew rapidly through the lessons with Grandfather Hector, most of the stats were mediocre.
And now that the beginner buff is over, I no longer receive level-up gifts.
The Bubble shoes had some durability left, but I couldn’t wear them anymore as my feet grew, so I sold them to the shop for 20 rubies.
I earned another 200 rubies by doing minor quests and was able to level up my skills.
“…….”
I furrowed my eyebrows as I looked at the ‘Secret of the Blue Falcon’ that had been in my inventory for a long time.
It’s just an ordinary brooch in the shape of a falcon. Even if I searched for books in the library, there was no relevant information.
Maybe this will come in handy someday…… I don’t know.
“Miss, the Taylor carriage will be arriving shortly.”
Maya’s voice was heard.
Suddenly, the fact that Othello had left three days ago came to mind, and I felt a hollow feeling in my heart.
Will Othello have grown taller when he returns?
“Oh my, it’s already there,” Maya announced as she pointed outside the window.
Outside the window, a carriage coming from the forest towards this direction could be seen.
The carriage had the Taylor family crest on it.
Everyone working outside the mansion stopped and stared at the carriage with wary eyes.
A heavy silence surrounded the mansion.
I approached the window and looked outside.
The carriage that arrived at the entrance of the mansion came to a stop, and the door of the carriage opened.
Badump, badump, badump– my heart was racing.
In that carriage…… is Evan Taylor, the protagonist of the original story.
After a while, a young boy walked down from the carriage. Although it was a face I had only seen once, years ago, I could tell that the child in the robe was Evan.
You must be twelve now, Evan Taylor.
He had black hair, cold blue eyes, and skin so white it makes you shiver. The protagonist with unwavering determination in <Taylor’s Home>.
A powerful avenger who would one day engulf the Winchester mansion in flames, a hero of the empire.
Evan’s cloak fluttered in the snowstorm as he set foot on the ground.
Everyone was looking at him, but he had a calm expression even in the face of enemies.
His presence was as outstanding as Jin and Othello.
Soon, Evan lifted his head and looked up.
I froze in surprise at his unexpected action.
It was because our eyes met. Despite the considerable distance, I could feel that he was looking at me.
“What… what was that just now?”
I quickly lowered my body beneath the window frame. My heart was pounding anxiously.

“He really resembles Duke Chenoa. Quite striking, isn’t it?” Maya’s words echoed in my ears.
No, I had seen Chenoa, but Evan did not resemble him. The resemblance was only on the surface, and you can tell by looking into those empty eyes that they contained the universe.
Evan’s world was so profound that it sent shivers down my spine.
“I think he just looked this way… Haha, it must be a misunderstanding, right?”
I pursed my lips at Maya’s awkward laugh.
“Yeah.”
During the three days between Othello’s departure and Evan’s arrival, I pondered.
How am I supposed to treat Evan Taylors, who came to Winchester unexpectedly and is obviously not happy about it?
As a reader, I had sincerely cheered for the protagonist, Evan Taylor.
He ruthlessly defeated wicked villains and walked the path of justice without hesitation, as he saw fit. It was truly a series of victories.
However, now that I had become Sasha Winchester, the youngest of the Winchester family, I felt differently.
The Winchesters were my family, and I had built a fairly close relationship with them.
Although I didn’t want to be involved in the family’s life and death, I also had a desire to help the family as much as I could.
Of course, before that, I had to take care of my own fragile body.
So….. observe and be wary of Evan Taylor, but don’t get involved with him.
If I suspect he is doing anything to harm the House, I will report it to Recardo immediately.
These are my rules of behavior.

I checked [View People], and in the sea of special characters, number 5 was Evan Taylor’s name.
The reason for “Cannot display the following information” must be because he is the protagonist.
When the protagonist in the book turns twenty-five, Winchester falls into ruin at the hands of Evan Taylor.
But there is still plenty of time. There’s no need to be anxious.
Thanks for chap
Wasn’t his name completely glitched out? Which chapter did that get fixed in??
