Your Not So Ordinary Villain



"Me too. If not for the duke and the duchess talking me into it, I wouldn't be here. I will be waiting for the general to come." William also looked at the master with his serious face.

Cygnus sighed once again and waved his hand. He had no energy to deal with them because he already expended much of his energy talking with the king and commanding that attack. It was time for him to go to sleep and let his minions do the job. He stood up and left them in the dining room.

"Come on kids! Eat! Let's not waste the food and don't mind the master. That's just his way of talking." Nina spoke in a loud and cheery voice to lift up the mood in the room. Although it was a bit ineffective, at least the atmosphere lightened a bit.

They continued with their dinner and after that they went to their own rooms. At midnight, a loud noise woke them up. William woke up with a start as he got down from his bed and went to the window. He still had his eyes half closed but when he saw who the people below were, he instantly became alert.

William could recognize his cousin's silhouette even from afar. He became excited because he knew that the general was already here. He squinted his eyes for a bit and the smile on his face disappeared. There was something wrong between the two groups.

Their stances were not in a friendly manner as they stared at each other. He could feel the tension even from where he was standing. It looked like they were ready to fight any moment from now. He instantly became alert.

William changed his clothes in record time and ran towards the front yard of the manor. He was panting and as he stepped out, he could already feel the tension in the air. He gulped and slowly made his way towards the general and the Cygnus.

He wanted to go and stand beside the general but the butler grabbed his hand arm and pulled him back. William was startled as he looked up at the butler who only gave him a smile. Cygnus slightly looked back at the child with a raised brow before he returned his gaze to Linius who was not happy to see them.

Linius received the news that Lunaira declared war against Rigel and at the same time he received a letter from the man himself detailing what came down. He knew that something like this would eventually happen but he was still a bit surprised that it suddenly happened. He saw William but the young man was stopped from going to him.

"You really came general but isn't it overkill to bring your whole force in this place? You should have left them there or should I kill them all for you?" Cygnus swept a look at the people behind Linius.

Linius frowned. He could feel the soldiers beside him tense up at the master's words. They were not used to the master's way of talking. The general sighed. He raised his hand and this at least eased up the soldier beside and behind him.

"How can I leave them there? You already decided to wipe this place so what's wrong with adding more people to our forces?" Linius shrugged his shoulders as he ignored the master's frown that was directed at him.

"I don't need an army and I specifically told you to come alone. It is a simple command and yet you can't follow, should I punish you?" Cygnus's voice went down a few octaves as his dark mana filled the entire manor's front yard.

The soldiers couldn't help but tense up again because of the ominous feeling that the man brought. They wanted to avoid the black mist but there was nowhere they could hide or climb to. Cygnus let his mana rise up to the height of the stomach which made the soldiers more restless.

"Master! I know that you are strong on your own and the people who are with you right now wouldn't flinch as they slaughter people but this kingdom will not be your only enemy. The other kingdoms will surely make their move too." Linius wanted to make a point and he was even looking at the butler who was silently standing behind the master.

Cygnus knew what the man was thinking and he couldn't refute him. He narrowed his eyes and hummed while thinking over things. Since the general was looking behind, the master also shifted his body and looked at the butler who was still holding William by the arm.

"What can you say?" This question made the butler a bit surprised but seeing that the general was having a difficult time convincing the master.

"The general is right. We can deal with everyone within this kingdom but we won't be able to deal with them all if the other kingdoms sent their troops to attack us too. We will definitely need more people to help us defend against them." Mr. C explained without changing his expression and it made the master sigh.

"Fine, do what you want. I just can't believe that your soldiers will join the enemy and betray their kingdom. How fickle." The master sneered and it made the other soldiers bow their heads. "If you are unwilling to join our side, leave. If it hurts your pride to fight against the people of your kingdom, I suggest that you leave this place. I don't welcome snakes in my turf."

Cygnus spat as he stared specifically at some people. He could read their minds and knew what they were thinking. The only people who were loyal to the general was his mage brigade and his two lieutenants. The rest were only there to spy and report to the king.

"Run before I let your heads roll on the ground." The final warning came with an actual example as one of the soldiers who were standing in the middle of the group lost his head.

Blood started to spray out from his neck before his body fell to the ground with a thump. His head fell on the ground earlier and rolled forward. This startled the soldiers as they looked in fear at the young man who gave the warning. They froze on the spot and when no one was moving, another soldier lost his arm.

The ground immediately turned into a bloody mess and the soldiers scurried away from the group. They ran towards the direction of the gate that would lead them out of the manor but before they could even step out, they all fell on the cold hard ground. Blood flowed and stained the front yard.

This scene made the remaining soldiers stare in horror at the person who did this all without moving a muscle. Cygnus had a smile on his face the whole time that the screaming rang in the air. Linius did not turn back once even with all the commotion that was happening behind him and so did the mage brigade.

The soldiers who saw the general's action followed suit. They would flinch and tremble in fear at every thump and screams that would stop but they did not dare to look back. They remained frozen in their place and even if they got stained with the splatters of blood they did not move.

After a while, the whole place became silent and the smile on the master's face disappeared. He turned around and strode inside. "How boring," he muttered to himself.

Mr. C nodded towards the general as he gestured towards the manor. Linius sighed before he walked inside together with William who joined him. Without any words, the mage brigade and the remaining soldiers followed him inside. Mr. C was left to deal with the aftermath of his master's outburst.
