Restart:Untalented Man

"Rizieri Ryntum, 14 years old. I guess that is my name and age in this world" He mumbles. 'That's what was told to me by the brown-haired woman who identifies herself as my older sister.

Her name is Reina Ryntum. Right now, her eyebrows were creasing and both of her blue eyes are staring at Riz with a worried expressions.

"Are you okay, Riz?" ask Reina with concern.

"Yes, I'm okay" Riz gave a short reply.

"But your clothes and the blood.."

"Relax, it's not my blood. It's the beast's blood", says Riz, trying to assure his worried sister.

"You kill the beast on your own?", Reina widened her eyes shocked hearing Riz's statement. As far as she knows, her little brother is not capable enough to kill the beast. Moreover, what's the beast doing far from its habitat area?

Seeing his sister ask him with a questioning and suspicious tone, Riz's face remains calm, however, his mind is currently functioning at its maximum capability.

He's trying to find the most logical answer he could think of to avoid his sister's suspicion.

"It's not like I am fighting the beast head-on...", Riz starts to lay down his reasoning. "When the beast is chasing me I'm just running around trying to get rid of it. Then, I hide while waiting for the right moment to kill it. The clothes were torn up because I miscalculated the timing. Luckily I barely managed to dodge his claws."

"The blood you saw is from the beast when I'm piercing its neck using my sword".

'Did she buy it?', Riz glanced at Reina wanting to see her expression. Riz feels like his story is weird and full of loopholes but that is the best he can come up with right now.

"Alright then", says Reina, reluctantly accepting the answer she hears. "But be sure to let me know if you get hurt anywhere", Reina reminds Riz.

"Okay, okay".

'Sighhh, I keep using the term 'beast' and she didn't even ask what type of beast is it. I guess I'm safe for now. I really need to study more about this world after I get back. Let's hope that the animals here are the same as on Earth.'

To be honest, Riz feels a little bit weird about having older siblings. In his past life, he is the eldest of siblings.

To suddenly become the youngest in this life can be really awkward. He doesn't know how to actually act in front of Reina.

So he just decided to be himself.

Currently, both of them are inside the carriage heading toward Bideford Town where Ryntum mansion is located.

Yes. A mansion.

Apparently, Riz is reincarnated as a noble family of Ryntum.

After talking to Reina for a while, Riz is able to acquire some basic information.

The House of Ryntum rules Bideford County for nearly 200 years.

His father, Count Richard Ryntum is the current lord of Bideford County.

His father has three wives.

That's right! three wives!!

It seems like nobles can marry as many women as they can. Some nobles have up to seven wives. Not to mention, aside from formal wives, some of them even have mistresses.

On average, the head of the house usually has four to five wives. Having only three wives and no mistress like his father is considered a rare case.

Back to the topic of Riz's family members. His father has three wives and five children.

Richard Ryntum (head of the family)

Maria Gyalcakes (first wife)

Josephine Csorvar (second wife)

Eve (third wife)

Robert Ryntum, 20 (1st - Maria's child)

Reina Ryntum, 19 (2nd - Josephine's child)

Rachel Ryntum, 17 (3rd - Maria's child)

Russell Ryntum, 15 (4th - Josephine's child)

Rizieri Ryntum, 14 (5th - Eve's child)

Apparently, Riz's mother is the only commoner among Richard's three wives. Back then, when his father wanted to marry a commoner he received strong opposition from both of his wives at that time. In their opinion, noble blood shouldn't be mixed with the commoner because it could lower their reputation in a noble society. However, Richard was very resolute to marry Eve.

Riz didn't find it surprising at all. What surprised him is that his father was very determined to marry a commoner.

His mother didn't live very long. According to Reina, she passed away two years ago due to the disease.

Hearing this, Riz didn't show any emotion at all. In his past life, he didn't have too many interactions with his mother.

To him, his mother in this life is a stranger at best.

The carriage continues to move north toward the town. It has been around thirty minutes since their departure from the forest.

Riz just hope that he will arrive soon. He felt uncomfortable moving in this shaking carriage. He really misses the comfort of modern vehicles.

Soon after another ten minutes have passed, he finally sees the wall that protects the town.

The wall is made of stones piled on top of each other with mortar used as a binding. The height of the wall is probably around five meters. There are several round-shape defence towers separate from each other by a certain distance.

Fields could be seen surrounding the wall. The scene in front of Riz gives the vibe of a typical medieval town.

'So this is where I'm going to live now.'
