"It would be great if she ends up becoming the Viscount, though I am not sure if I would visit her again after finishing with the task at my hand." He was planning to go for royalty next, and he already had his sights on them.
...
Vivian was standing outside the mansion, his gaze drifted to the road, awaiting the arrival of his master, Viscount Ekaros.
Two days had passed after the unfortunate night he saw Rae and Lisa together, he could still not forget how that hypocrite woman had confronted him.
He recalled, the next day after seeing Lisa inside Rae's room. Vivian could not hold it in and decided to confront Lisa on her affair.
He checked the surroundings and the moment he saw Lisa alone, he went to her with light steps and hinted at Lisa to follow him to an empty room.
He could see the surprise and panic in her eyes, a part of him still believed that she was being forced into it, and ignored the happy face she was making at the window.
Lisa hushed as he hinted and followed him to the room. She did not know about his arrival.
Vivian had not bothered to inform any servant in the midnight to prepare a meal or do a chore for him. Otherwise, they would have known that one of the men under Sir Ekaros had come back, and so would have known everyone in the mansion including Lisa.
"What is happening? Are you alright??" Vivian asked Lisa urgently, she did not look the least bit bothered or injured but he still asked her.
"What do you mean? I am alright, When did you arrive though? And where is the Viscount?" Lisa answered that she was okay, what could happen to her in the mansion?
Instead, she asked Vivian about the Viscount and his arrival. She wanted to know if they were out of the danger yet. The butler had given her the overview of what was happening in the mansion.
"You are alright? Yes, you are alright!!" Vivian grumbled as he said out those words. He was clearly able to see how alright she was.
"What do you mean? Did something happen to you on the way?" Lisa asked in confusion, she could not understand the reason behind Vivian's crumbled sense of mind.
'Did something happen to him on his way? The Viscount must have given him a difficult task. But then why did he ask me to follow inside this empty room?'
There was no reason for him to ask her to follow in the room as if they were hiding from someone. Even if he could not complete the task given by the Viscount, she could not do anything to help him regarding this.
'No?? Did he.. Does he know??' Her eyes had a hint of panic in them as she recalled the word from the young man while they were in the act.
Ekaros was brimming with confidence and did not wish to waste any time dawdling around. Fortunately or unfortunately he was not able to reach the next level but he found out another great secret about the artifact bloodstone.
Just as he thought that he would successfully enter the level four, he was met with a great pain, and he felt that this was it, his body was unable to bear it.
For the most part he believed that it was some sort of upgraded backlash because of how often he was using the artifact to increase his strength artificially but no....
It was something else, his body was breaking but not because of some backlash or mistake in ki circulation. It was because of his bloodline.
Something deeper, stronger was going to awaken inside him. He was able to feel it, the power that was dormant inside and was beginning to awaken.
Do or die he decided and continued to use the artifact, and kept pumping the power from the artifact as he continued with his practice in pain.
His bones in the body broke one by one, he felt his muscles spasm and tear until the power stored inside the artifact finally exhausted.
...
Back to the present, Vivian, intimidated of his master's presence and new aura, informed him about the past two days and how there was always some woman inside the royal enforcer's room.
However, he did not explicitly mention which woman. He pretended as if he did not know the identity of the woman. It was a plausible excuse because he would not try to spy on that man, as he would get caught if he tried to.
"He is busy with a woman? Indeed, I am able to hear the noises." Ekaros mumbled as focused all his senses on his ear, he could indeed hear the noise, the moans of a woman in pleasure.
'He is able to hear it from here? Did he have a breakthrough and reached level four?' Vivian thought in surprise as he connected the dots, Intimidating aura and increase in physical ability, they were obvious signs of increase in strength. Continue reading on мѵʟ
The mansion was tens of meters away from the gate they were standing at. So, it indeed made sense for Vivian, his eyes were now hopeful of victory.
"Excellent!! let's go." Ekaros ordered Vivian, ready to act at this vulnerable moment and strike the man.
He wanted to sneak attack Rae while he was busy in the bed. Though, he was confident of killing Rae after his bloodline fully awakened and changed from human but he still decided to take the easy way out.
Why take risk and confront that man when he could actually just finish him on the spot. As for the aftermath? Before the change in his bloodline, he was slightly wary of the consequences but now? Not anymore!!
He was stronger than a genuine level four. He believed that he could beat a demon beast of the same level with his physical body.
Outside Rae's room, Ekaros gathered the ki for his sneak attack while maintaining a safe distance between the room as to not be sensed by Rae. Vivian on the other hand was ordered to strike down the closed door on his signal.
