Chapter 5
A Day in the Life of a Noble
Lucas stretched lazily in his big, soft bed, letting out a long, happy yawn that made his messy brown hair flop over his eyes. Morning sunlight streamed through the tall windows of his room, painting the polished wooden floor in warm golden patterns that shimmered gently like dancing stars. Outside, the Valerian mansion gardens sparkled with fresh dew, each droplet reflecting tiny rainbow colors in the early light.
The glowing flowers swayed softly in the breeze, releasing sweet, enchanting scents that floated through the open window like a cheerful morning greeting. Little butterflies with shimmering wings fluttered lazily around the colorful petals, their wings glinting with faint magical dust. Somewhere far away, birds sang bright, cheerful songs that echoed through the peaceful estate grounds.
Lucas sat up slowly, rubbing his sleepy eyes, and glanced at the pretty blue system panel floating quietly in front of him.
Yesterday's goblin adventure had already proven something exciting—people back on Earth really loved watching this magical world.
The numbers from that first stream still made him grin.
"Alright… time for another stream," he whispered with a small, eager smile.
"Let's show them something nicer today."
"No more getting knocked around by grumpy goblins."
He tapped the glowing panel lightly with his finger.

[Livestream Started]
---
Lucas waved cheerfully toward the invisible camera, his face lighting up with an easy, friendly grin.
"Hello everyone!"
"Welcome back to Fantasy World Livestream!"
He stretched his arms wide as if greeting a room full of old friends.
"It's your favorite salted-fish noble, Lucas, coming to you live from my cozy room inside the mansion."
"Did you sleep well?"
"I sure did—these beds are like sleeping on fluffy clouds!"
The viewer count began rising immediately, climbing higher like excited little birds taking flight.
120…
450…
980…
Within seconds, the chat box started filling with messages that popped up like colorful bubbles bursting with excitement.

---
Lucas chuckled softly, his voice warm and relaxed.
"First things first."
"Let me introduce myself properly this time."
He placed a hand dramatically over his chest and stood a little taller, pretending to be extremely noble and important.
"My name is Lucas Valerian."
"I'm sixteen years old…"
"And I belong to the Valerian Count Family in the Aurelian Empire."
He gave a proud little nod.
"Yep, that's right."
"I'm a real noble kid living in a huge mansion with gardens full of magical flowers."
The chat instantly exploded with excitement and surprise.

Lucas simply shrugged with a playful smile.
"Believe what you want, friends."
"I've said it before—this is my real life."
"But today's stream is going to be different and relaxing."
"No fighting today."
"Instead, I'll show you my daily life as a noble in Aetheria."
"Come along for the tour—it's going to be fun and chill!"
He left his sunny room and stepped into the wide mansion hallway.
Through the livestream, viewers could clearly see tall marble pillars that gleamed like polished ivory, beautiful paintings on the walls showing heroic ancestors riding glowing horses through starry skies, and sparkling chandeliers floating beneath the ceiling with gentle magical light.
The floor felt cool and smooth beneath Lucas's feet.
The air carried the delicious scent of fresh bread baking somewhere deep within the mansion kitchens.
The chat reacted instantly with excitement.

Lucas grinned even wider as he walked through the hallway.
"Come on."
"I'll show you something even better."
He stepped outside through a side door and walked along a peaceful garden path lined with soft grass and glowing flowers. The blossoms shimmered with gentle hues of pink, blue, and soft gold.
The path curved toward the training grounds, where the sound of clashing metal rang through the air like a lively rhythm.
Soon the camera revealed two strong figures training beneath the bright morning sun.
Leon swung his heavy sword with incredible speed, the blade slicing through the air with powerful whooshing sounds that sent loose leaves flying.
Sweat glistened across his broad shoulders, but he laughed with every strike, clearly enjoying the challenge.
Nearby, Adrian launched small bursts of magic that exploded against wooden training targets in bright flashes of blue and silver sparks.
Lucas pointed proudly toward them.
"These are my big brothers."
"That tall guy swinging the sword like it weighs nothing is Leon."
"He's basically a sword genius."
"And the one making those sparkly explosions is Adrian."
"He's amazing with magic."
"They train every morning like this."
Lucas scratched his head sheepishly.
"Me?"
"I usually watch from the sidelines with a snack."
The chat erupted again.

Leon suddenly noticed Lucas.
He lowered his sword and grinned widely.
"Lucas?"
"What are you doing over here with that silly smile?"
Lucas waved casually.
"Just showing my daily life to some friends."
"Don't mind me!"
Leon laughed heartily.
"Just don't get in the way."
"We might accidentally swing too close."
Adrian added with a teasing grin.
"Or we might test a new spell on you by mistake."
"You'd make a funny target!"
The chat exploded with laughter.
Lucas simply smiled and walked away.
"Alright chat…"
"But that's not the most amazing thing I wanted to show you today."
He suddenly snapped his fingers.
"Ah!"
"I just thought of something really special."
"Let me show you one of my favorite parts of the mansion."
Viewers leaned closer to their screens as Lucas hurried toward the servant quarters in a sunny corner of the courtyard.
Flowers climbed the stone walls, and small floating lights drifted lazily in the air even during the daytime.
Lucas stopped and called out warmly.
"Anna!"
A soft voice answered immediately.
"Yes, young master?"
A girl stepped out from behind a flowering bush.
She had soft brown hair falling in gentle waves and bright golden eyes that sparkled with curiosity.
Most noticeably—
Two fluffy cat ears sat atop her head.
Behind her, a long silky tail swayed gently.
Lucas smiled warmly.
"Anna, say hello to everyone watching."
Anna tilted her head.
Her cat ears perked up curiously.
She looked toward the invisible camera and gave a polite wave.
"Hello everyone."
"My name is Anna."
"I am a cat girl."
"Meow~"
She added the playful sound with a tiny giggle.
Her tail swished happily.
The chat instantly exploded.

Lucas blinked at the sudden rush of gifts.
"Whoa!"
"Slow down chat!"
"You're going to make the system dizzy!"
Anna tilted her head again.
Her ears twitched.
"Did I do something wrong, young master?"
Lucas laughed gently.
"No, no."
"You did great."
"Everyone loves you already."
He turned back toward the camera.
"Anna helps around the mansion and takes care of the gardens."
"She also makes the best honey cakes."
"Say thank you to everyone."
Anna waved happily.
"Thank you everyone!"
"Meow~"
The chat went wild again.
Lucas scratched his cheek awkwardly.
"Alright chat…"
"Calm down before you start a riot over fluffy ears."
He waved goodbye to Anna.
She skipped away happily, her tail swishing.
Lucas continued walking toward the mansion study.
The heavy wooden door creaked open slowly.
Inside waited a peaceful room filled with quiet wonder.
Large maps covered the walls.
Glowing ink lines traced rivers, forests, and mountain ranges.
Ancient books filled towering shelves.
Sunlight poured through tall windows, making floating dust particles sparkle like tiny fairy lights.
Lucas pointed toward a giant map above the desk.
"Now let me explain something interesting."
"This is the Aurelian Empire."
"The country where my family lives."
He traced his finger along the glowing lines.
"This area here is the Valerian Territory."
"Our family protects villages here."
"From monsters."
"From goblins."
"And helps with harvests and festivals."
The chat slowed slightly.
Viewers studied the map carefully.

Lucas leaned slightly closer to the map.
"Of course…"
"This empire has a very interesting history."
"There was once a war that almost destroyed the entire continent."
"Armies clashed."
"Dragons flew across the skies."
"Magic storms lasted for days."
"But the most surprising part of that war was…"
He suddenly stopped speaking.
Because the system screen flickered.
A new message appeared.
---
[Unknown Viewer Has Entered The Stream]
---
Lucas frowned slightly.
"…Unknown viewer?"
The glowing panel flickered again.
The quiet study suddenly felt a little colder.
---
To be continued…
