PART I
worries of castle personals.
POV Commander Gordan
Another one of those piceces of shit will be arriving. I swear to God, if he orders me to do something injust like that last piece of trash, I would rather die.
Minister Williams
Ho! so that infamous demon is coming, I bet I can even further increase my profits hiding under his shadow...haha.
Lead of Harem Isabella.
They say he's cute, I wonder if he will call us. But still I can't just spread my legs before him, I shall test if he's worthy.
Common solders
Another one is coming? so what? not that it matters unless he really eats people.
Commoners
Anything is better than that last inhuman noble, still we wish this one isn't worse.
part II
Let me ask you, what would you do if you were in my situation?
A little stark naked kid was standing in front of, her hair blonde, her body slim and immature. B
But her future aspects seems boundless, her sky blue eyes and blonde hair, even if she procures a small chest in future she will still be considered a beauty.
Don't ask me why I am thinking all these things, I am so tired that I can't control my brain anymore, its running wild like an animal.
Seeing her pale white glowing skin, I think she just came right out of her comfortable bath. And I suppose its her room I am resting in, I should thank her or so I thought.
I was till laying still, my eyes fixed on her wet body not because I wanted to, I was too tired to move my head the other way. I could always close my eyes but its not like I hate the view.
The next thing I knew, her seemingly red soft lips started to shake. She then took a deep breath and then what followed was an angelic scream.
Suddenly my eyes closed as I went blank. I was standing in darkness. Nothing below me or above, all sides too, there was only darkness.
With my mind I imagined light and suddenly there was no darkness remaining, as though it was never here before, only white seemingly divine light.
I realized I was in a lucid dream but still it was a very strange experience, in a good way.
Slowly, very slowly I started to open my eyes. My body was hurting all over as though ants were biting every inch of it.
Opening my eyes, I found out that there were some guests, the naked immature lady from before with Braids and the headmaster staring intently at me with their round eyes.
The weird thing was, all their faces looked similar to each other. Then it hit me. Blondes, same age, does that mean Braids and this stark naked girl are twins. And maybe this headmaster is their father.
'Did you see my sister naked' asked Braids in a very serious tone.
'Her body is still immature but her future prospect is good' my honest thoughts slipped from my mouth.

'I agree....' said Braids while nodding his head.
Everyone was staring at him now as soon as he saw this, his attitude changed from north to south.
'How dare you bastard! I should kill you right now, were it not for you royal blood' shouted Braids. But his image was not changing in my mind.
'Father *sob* I cam.e..e out from my bath, perv..ert , *sob* ..my hon..or' cried the little blonde lady.
The headmaster was quietly observing my expressions while Braids once again shouted furiously.
'you! you tainted her pure maiden's honor'
Then the door creaked a little, a mature woman with two little girls came through it. My eyes still showed indifference to all this comedy or twist of fate.
As soon as Braids saw Shilfa his expressions once again changed. Ignoring everything else and everyone present, he rushed towards her and got on one knee. Took her snow white arm in his hand and landed a kiss. With this he said in a poetic voice.
'O Maiden from heaven who stole my heart! My heart is yours! All I want is it to be yours!'
What an interesting character I thought, clearly he different from the ones I am used to and his comedy wasn't all that bad.
Shilfa had a lot of experience with nobles and most of them were perverts far worse than the likes of Braids, dealing with him was as easy as counting to three for her.
She acted as if nothing happened and gently reclaimed her hand and moved towards me. It seems she was busy with the paper work regarding the academy and all, I can't blame her for being late.
Who are all these people? she inquired directly.
'I don't know' I simply replied not willing to tell the long tale.
'Why is this girl crying?' she persisted.
'Something about her honor it seems' I replied with a frown.
She gave a cold glance towards the crying lady and then her ice cold gazed transformed into a gentle breeze.
With proper manners she headed towards the noble lady and comforted her, inquiring the details from her.
After listening to her sad tale she said with the intention of comforting her.
'Master would never do that' she said with absolute confidence without even looking at me once.
I thought, really? Am I not considered a male. Well its true that I am not interested in that little noble girl but I don't mind mature women.
'Right! I was telling them the same thing, He really looks innocent' said Braids.
'Truly amusing' I mummered, a small chuckle forced out of my mouth. I coughed twice to camouflage it, the result of which was everyone in room were looking at me.
'Miss why are you crying again? I am sorry I fell unconscious on your bed here, if that is reason please excuse my rudeness' I said with complete innocent puppy dog eyes.
'Yo..u! didn't you saw me......na..k..ed' she dared to say.
'I don't remember, all I remember is sleeping on your bed, it was quite comfortable' I didn't deny what she said nor did I accept it.

My expression were the same as ever, so even the headmaster couldn't find anything. Seeing this he declared it as a misunderstanding and somehow I was left of the hook.
Meanwhile this what Lady Leta was thinking. 'I will reveal this mask of innocence of you, I will take vengeance on you for the disgrace you have given me'
So now I am off to my own castle, Tebruit castle. Even though I was treated like a master in the castle I lived in with my father I had no real authority at all.
This time, not only a castle but the city of Tebruit, I am their lord. As I was busy thinking these matters we already arrived at our new home.
Red carpet with nobles on both side, their heads bowed and rose petals flying in the air, the scene was something to behold. But such things, I don't like very much.
I jumped off from my carriage and walked on ground right beside the carpet. Clearly this should give signs to everyone present here, I am not a man with whom these flattering tricks would work.
A man in heavy armor along with a dozen of solders wearing full body armor quickly came to me and got their knees. One hand to the chest, head facing the ground the man said 'I am commander Gordan, happy to receive you'
His attitude was not flattering neither disrespecting, it was good. I said in a cold tone 'Rise, Commander you follow me and the rest DISPERSE' my voice was loud enough for everyone to hear.
Everyone took their leave, shitting in their pants on how they offended this rich arrogant young master.
'Commander! don't hold anything back, don't mind the formalities, ignore everything and tell me the details' I commanded.
'Yes?' he said with a puzzled expression on his face. Little did he know, I judged his honest personality from the moment he caught my eyes.
Well after some clear words from he really started to sing without any kind of restraint.
That damn minister, stinking previous lord, fat pervert nobles, that was the summary. Be thankful I gave you the summary and saved you from his singing. He is honest but a little bit too honest.
Shilfa and her kids were told to stay in my room, guarded by Commander and his trusted elite men.
Once I was assured of their safety, I called the minister.
'Minister William, answers your call, my liege' said the minister in a flattering tone.
'Lets cut to the chase, I know you, you should know me, I want half' I said in a serious direct tone.
'I don't understand' playing innocent with me but to his demise I am his opponent here.
'You better speak now when you have the chance, an experienced minister as yourself must be aware of the dangers in life, right?'
'My lord is really smart, as they say but my lord that is too much'
Thinking I would continue with this chatter he was gravely mistaken, thinking I would kill him was a mistake too.
'We shall discuss this when I summon at a later date, for now leave' in cold tone I commanded him.
As soon as he left some bulky men in shiny armor hit him once on his head and carried him away, this happened so fast that he could not even scream.
What awaits him is endless torture until he sings like a bird and when his information is verified his little life will meet its end.
Believe me, you may think I am ruthless and cunning. I don't mind dying, but I do mind dying when I can avoid doing so.
If I don't clean this nest, later on it will only stab me in the back so I can only attack when their guards are down and now is that time.
With information supplied from William, I quickly cleaned all the trash but not before interrogating them for further information. It was considered the Dark time.
Assassination rate increased, robbery and murders were now at their highest in this city. I have to admit, I am the cause. Sometimes I ordered to take their belongings to hint a robbery while other times a murder.
It was all a cover. This unrest continued for a while until I was sure that there were no remaining snakes.
Sometimes I used Commander Gordon, other times the assassin guild I created or the bandit group to loot the nobles. I have to say bandits lair is hidden somewhere, not even I can guess where they are.
They are still a threat and can't be ignored but I can't do nothing. Commander Gordan was amazed at how cruel I was at first but now he is used to it. Shilfa was simply in the dark, it was not her place to enter this darkness.
To be honest I don't believe in democracy, I believe in Hitlerism. A monarchy, that is my way. People can't be trusted.
Thus all the power was now in my hands. I also discovered an underground facility under the castle, young beauties were imprisoned there.
They were toyed with by countless nobles and William was the founder of this. Some of these beauties were the heiress to their respective noble clans while other were simple commoners.
I didn't free them, once I saw their dead hollow eyes with no signs of life I concluded that once they are free, if not all of them, most of them would commit suicide.
I told Shilfa about the matter, just enough for her to know of the underground situation and my concerns and left the matter to her.
All of this happened in but a day, this one day was hell for all the commoners and nobles alike living in Tebruit. Once the day was over, crime rate fell down dramatically.
With this the long tiring day came to an end. Commander Williams haves huge amount of trust in me for showing no mercy and for making quick decisions. A loyal man under my command isn't that bad.
The next day came, little did I know the troubles that would follow.

In this new and dangerous world, Zavier weighs his own feelings of personal inadequacy against the backdrop of his sudden and mysterious importance.
