The Villain is Being Suspiciously Kind

Just as Citrinas unsettling prediction suggested, Duke Pietro was just around the corner.

Duke Pietro loosened the buttons around his shirt collar. He was out of breath.

As a matter of fact, he had nothing to fear. Around him were several wizards and countless soldiers to guard him.

Duke Pietro didnt have any enemies high enough to threaten his safety or his life. Therefore, he never had anything to worry about.

That was until now.

The dukes carriage drove for days and days and finally arrived at the dukes main mansion.

The duke got out of the carriage and looked at the mansion he had built with a straight posture.

Your duke has returned.

He was the head of the family and the duke of this great empire. Everyone was waiting for the duke with their heads down.

It is my palace that can never be destroyed by a curse.

His eyes slightly narrowed as he looked at the employees lined up. Something felt strange. Toloji and the butler were not there. He hadnt been able to contact either of them.

Wheres the butler?

Hes been at the annex the whole time.

The servant answered faithfully, but his eyes were strangely empty. Unaware of that fact, the duke laughed. It seemed that the butlers location was known.

Then lets go to the annex.

The duke grinned. He was in a position where all of the employees were watching, so the duke wore a friendly mask once more.

The duke hummed pleasantly, feeling the whip in his hands. Sooner or later, the duke decided to get rid of the impurities that ruined his life.

Toloji must have completely educated him. Next is Aaron, Ill have to deal with him. Ill need to deal with the cursed ones, one after another.

I cant allow myself to be touched. And theres a witness, Ill need to dispose of Baron Foluins daughter.

Unfortunately, the duke had put too much faith into the dark wizard Tolojis magic. And that would be his Achilless heel that caused his defeat.

The duke walked on with his soldiers and wizards. He crossed the bridge that led to the ducal annex where the young lords lived.

However, as soon as he crossed the bridge, the duke felt mildly unpleasant. It seemed that the black robed wizard next to him also felt it.

Sir, be careful. I feel something ominous in the air.

Before the wizard could finish speaking, a black figure appeared in front of them. It was Desian Pietro, his son.

He had a clean but cheerless face with a few wounds on his arms. Except for his expression, which was distinctly different from before.

What, what the? How did you get out?

The duke hurriedly took out the whip he had placed at his side. His hand soon gripped the handle of the whip.

Tell me how you got out!

Without responding to the duke, Desian whispered some short poetic words. It was so quiet that only the duke heard it, but everyone else was suddenly pushed to the edge of the bridge at a frightening speed.

The already dead Toloji had taught Desian everything, and the student had surpassed his teacher.

The soldiers and wizards that guarded the duke scattered helplessly.

W, w, what is this?!

The duke looked at the figures of of wizards and soldiers being pushed around. He began to scream.

Toloji! Where is Toloji?! Tell me where he is!

He cant hear you anymore.

Desian said in a bored tone. He hated loud noises that caused a ringing in his ears occasionally.

He wet his dry lips with his tongue.

Now Desian was holding the dukes life in his hands and the oblivious duke was venting his anger.

Where is the butler! Did you kill him? Did you kill him with your curse?

Desian was left alone with the duke in the space on the bridge where all of the noise was strangely blocked. He replied to the duke after his shouting had finished.

Thats right. Hes dead.

It was a cold answer.

The last outburst of screams rang out. Desian frowned before he was finished.

Burning down the annex. It wasnt an offensive word in itself. It wouldnt matter if he burned it or not, but she was in the annex.

Desian briefly confirmed the presence of those in the annex. Citrina was staying there. The sound was shut off from here, but she still might find out.

Citrina was a special person.

Desian thought about the conversation they had in the garden.

She doesnt like when people are killed.

But if the duke was kept alive, Citrina and Desians world would end.

What do I do?

He was deeply interested in Citrina. His desire and unknown feelings for her kept growing and unraveling step by step.

He was conflicted over two choices.

Shall we kill the vermin or cover this up?

Desian looked at the duke with dry eyes as he suffered from the light whipping.

The dukes body was already to damaged for mind control magic. Using mind control magic on a weakened body leads to death.

Ending their world killing the vermin who could harm Citrina was right.

Desian swept his lips slowly with his tongue.

He made a clear decision.

Of course.

Desian touched the dukes body. It was nothing like the day he had the pure first contact with her. The unpleasant contact lasted for a few moments.

Desians hand slowly began to drain away his life.

Choke! Gasp, gasp.

The duke was tormented the frantic pain of his breath slowly tightening. Desian watched him die slowly.

I clearly dont feel anything.

He could not feel any emotions towards the duke.

Desian looked at the duke as is he was looking at a worm.

The duke wriggled one last time and drooped. There was no sign of life.

Desian thought, rubbing his ringing ears.

The duke is dead. Our world is perfect with this. And for the first time, I protected a person. Citrina.

He had his first favorite person and protected her world- Citrina.

His heart beat fast.

Desian looked at the breathless duke with a joyous face. He didnt have an ounce of sympathy for the duke.

Well now what should I do?

Citrina didnt like killing people.

he didnt want to be hated by her.

Desian pondered for a moment. Before long, a sunny smile bloomed on Desians languid face. A good idea came to mind.
