The Supermarket System

Chapter 4: 4. Kaileon’s secret

Keith smiled, proud to see how confident and spirited his young master was now.

Yet, just a few months ago, he had been treated by the most famous healing wizard, who had said that Kaileon wouldn’t survive much longer.

But what he saw now was simply a teenager brimming with the will to live.

"I’m here to help you, but I don’t think it’ll be that easy to leave. Because your father is actually more interested in you than in your younger brother. He might even come to visit today or tomorrow."

Kai’s eyes widened at that, "What? He... he’s coming? Oh, what should I do? What do I need to prepare?"

Keith chuckled at Kai’s panic, "There’s nothing you need to prepare, young master. You need to calm down first... relax."

Kai let out a sigh of relief.

"Oh, right, young master. I’ll have the staff clean the outside of the pavilion, because—"

"No need, Keith. We have Nini."

Keith furrowed his brow, "Huh? Nini?"

Kaileon nodded, then called for Nini.

Keith was astonished to see the cleaning cat robot, which was so expensive that even the kingdom couldn’t afford it.

Keith wasn’t exaggerating; a robot with such high-level magic wouldn’t be sold casually by the Magic Tower.

"Where did you get that thing, sir?"

Kai, who hadn’t heard Keith’s question because he was too busy telling Nini to clean the outside of the house, ran out of the house with Nini. freeweɓnovel.cøm

Once he was in front of the house, he turned around and called out to Keith.

"Keith! Look what Nini can do! Come here quick!"

Curious, Keith immediately followed his young master.

Thanks to the healing potion Kai had given him to drink the night before, Keith’s leg was now back to normal. He even felt his body was much lighter than before.

Keith thought he couldn’t be surprised anymore by what his young master would show him, but he was wrong.

The cleaning cat robot named Nini exceeded Keith’s expectations.

Simply by emitting a beam from its body, the cat cleaned everything thoroughly. Even the remnants of grass and plants were neatly gathered at the edge.

Not only weeds and grass, but the cleaning cat robot also cleared away tree branches and plant vines that looked unsightly.

In the blink of an eye, the yard, which had previously looked like a jungle, became clean and tidy. Sunlight could shine through freely.

"It looks like we’ll still need people to rebuild the walkways, Keith. I also want a professional gardener who can create a flower garden exactly as I envision it. As for the cost, I’ll cover it myself; I don’t need funds from my father. Things like that would only make the Duchess dislike me even more. Even though I want to be expelled, I still want to live in peace without enemies. I know it’s impossible, but—" Kai stopped after seeing the look of shock and disbelief on Keith’s face.

Kai chuckled, then approached Keith and asked.

"Keith? Are you okay? Did you hear what I just said?"

Keith snapped out of his reverie and gave Kai a faint smile.

"I heard everything, young master. Of course I’ll arrange for people to repair the footpath and gardeners for the garden."

Kai smiled broadly at Keith’s words, then cheered happily.

Something Kaiden had never done on Earth. He was never happy; his lips rarely smiled, and his gaze was very cold.

But in his new body, he couldn’t stop smiling. Little things made him incredibly happy.

Uh, is this what freedom feels like?

Well, actually, Kaileon wasn’t that free, but he was far freer than Kaiden. Kaileon had a system, had money, had Keith.

Meanwhile, Kaiden only had futile hopes.

If only Kai could return to Earth and take revenge on those people...

"Young master? Are you all right?"

Keith panicked, because the young master who had been smiling cheerfully a moment ago suddenly fell silent, his eyes glistening with tears.

"Young master—"

Keith fell silent when Kaileon suddenly hugged him and began to cry.

"I don’t know why I’m suddenly crying. It feels like there’s a tightness in my chest, even though I should be happy because finally... ugh, I’m such a crybaby," Kai muttered.

[You’re not a crybaby; your soul and mind have reverted to that of a child, which is naturally more sensitive and emotional]

Ah, so that’s it—it’s not just his body; his mind, soul, and spirit have all reverted to a child’s state.

No wonder, since Kaileon’s soul there has also fused into one with Kaiden’s soul.

"You’re not a crybaby, young master; in fact, you should cry like this when you want to. Emotional regulation is very important for children like this. So, just let your emotions out. Besides, you’re here with me alone. Your father or the Duchess aren’t here, so you can let your emotions out when you’re with me. I won’t judge you; I’m here to support you."

For some reason, Keith’s words made Kai feel relieved, yet at the same time, they made him feel even more suffocated.

Not long after, Kai stopped crying, then he ate a potato donut with vanilla frosting. Keith also ate his donut and was amazed by it.

"Aren’t there any donuts here, Keith? Why are you so surprised?" Kai asked.

Keith shook his head, "I don’t know if there are any here, but sweet treats like this are only available to the nobility. Commoners can buy them, but because they’re so expensive, we prefer to buy cheaper pastries. A pastry like this is clearly very expensive. Plus, it’s so soft, the texture is smooth, the sweetness is just right, and it looks beautiful too... did you make it yourself, young master?" freёwebnoѵel.com

Kai looked at Keith, weighing whether he should be honest or not. But he couldn’t do business if Keith didn’t know anything about the items he could easily buy.

After thinking it over, Kai finally said.

"Keith, actually I have a secret—one that only the two of us are allowed to know. You’ve sworn loyalty, haven’t you? If you leak this to anyone, your head will be cut off if you do. Because this secret is very important to me," said Kai.

Keith swallowed hard, feeling nervous about receiving Kai’s biggest secret.

"Is this your secret skill as a descendant of the fairies?" asked Keith.

Oh, that’s right. Kaileon was the son of a concubine, a hybrid—half-human, half-fairy. Kai’s biological mother, the half-fairy, was incredibly beautiful, with stunning silver-blonde hair, lovely amber eyes, radiant fair skin, and a kind personality. However, she was forced to become Duke Arslan’s concubine so she wouldn’t be killed.

Duke Arslan himself fell instantly in love with Kai’s biological mother. He told her that if she refused to marry him, he would kill her.

That’s why she eventually agreed to marry him, because she held the principle that she couldn’t die before having an heir.

As a half-fairy, Kai’s biological mother also possessed a unique ability: a beautiful voice capable of hypnotizing anyone who heard it.

So, what kind of ability does young master Kaileon possess?
