An Important Villain Misunderstanding!
"So you know...?"Ian asked Arthur, wondering if Arthur already knew everything about his dual identity and all those things he did behind their back."Yeah. It was a cool mask."Arthur replied as he shrugged. The mask that Ian used while he pretended to be Noah, the identity he used to help Arthur and return him his sister, Arthur knew all about it now."Fuck.."All of Ian's hard work trying to hide his identity and wanting to not get involved went down the drain just like that. "That's why-""Wait."Arthur wanted to start again, no, he actually wanted to deliver the finishing speech, feeling as if he had successfully manipulated Ian into going back home this time. But sadly, he got interrupted midways."I still have work left to do.""Important.Work."Ian's words left no room for discussion. But it also gave them hope. Definite hope. Hope that he'd return back home once he was done with his 'important work'. "Then let us help."Arthur offered, looking almost desperate. Another per
An Important Villain His Love
After Ian's fateful encounter with Rio, Arthur and the rest, he decided to stay there in Erza's village for a while and help the villagers out. Rianne and the rest of her group members also wanted to stay and help him out but Ian refused. He learned that they were there for business and asked them to not mind him and continue their journey.Rianne had a look of disappointment at those words. But she didn't voice any complain or argue back. At least to her, it was pretty clear that Ian was avoiding her; or at least trying to do so. It made sense. "Well then.. I guess this is goodbye?"She said those words while mounting her ride. Her interest in Ian was clear and so was her reluctance to leave him behind. Ian wasn't a child either. He was aware of the interest he was getting from her. Although he couldn't understand why she would feel that way after so long while she ignored the original Ian so strongly. But feelings were just like that. They couldn't be explained, neither could th
An Important Villain Another Soul Contract
Days passed. And then weeks. Ian left Erza's village with his people after camping there for three days. It was the time he took to think things over. And in the end, his decision was quite unexpected. Arthur was sure that he'd go back with him this time. Afterall, the only issue keeping Ian away from his home was finally resolved. There was no more reason for him to wonder in the wilds like this, like a homeless person. "You should go back."Ian said those words while looking Arthur straight in the eyes. There was no hesitation in his voice. Arthur, in the middle of sipping his tea, was frozen still in shock and disbelief. "Why?""I don't understand.""They're all waiting for you.""You should go back home. You need to go back home.""Back to us."Arthur said those things, pausing after every sentence, with a confused tone. He wasn't even trying to understand Ian's point of view at this point. He just knew he needed to take Ian back, back by his side. "I'm not going. Not right n
An Important Villain The Two Opposites
"You don't mind?"Arthur asked, curious and a little bit scared. He was sure Ian would get mad. He did show emotion similar to agitation when he mentioned a tracking spell.A soul contract was even worse. So Ian's sudden curiosity didn't make sense. "Well.. It sounds interesting.. ""I don't mind having a two-way communication line among us."Ian was looking at the bigger picture. Nothing good would come out of Arthur knowing his location 24/7 in real time but if he could also know what Arthur was doing and even communicate with him, that was a different matter altogether."So you know about the details.."Most people didn't even know that soul contracts allowed communication. Ian had extensive knowledge about this world only because he read the novel. Arthur was always surprised by how much Ian knew about everything."But how are we gonna do it?"Ian asked, stepping forward. His eyes were literally glistening with curiosity like a kid. "Balancing the two souls, usually it's impossi
An Important Villain The Duke's Proxy
'Haah..What a mess..' Arthur thought to himself as he felt a headache brewing at the back of his head. Currently he was in the middle of a meeting held at the King's palace. Most nobles from the capital was present there, as well as the King and Prince Albert. The only remarkable absence was the Duke, Miller Dicarious. It was a meeting held with the purpose of deciding on Arthur's rewards. He was called back to the capital after Arthur and his team manager to take over all of the headquarters of the enemies and given a grand welcome. Next was the awarding ceremony. The King and Prince Albert had already come to a conclusion. They wanted to promote Arthur to a higher position and bestow him the title of a Duke along with appropriate properties/land/mines, servants and knights on the capital. But the problem lied with the nobles from the other fraction. Although the second Prince was on Albert's side, his mother had no intention of accepting that fact. The Queen's faction, out of
An Important Villain Back to the past
"My apologies for being late, your majesty. The traffic was quite heavy today."The guy in the robe removed the hood from his head and gave the King a small bow as he apologized for his delay. But anyone present there could tell at a glance that neither did the apology sound genuine nor was his fake expression. The King didn't mind though. Afterall, the person in front of him was someone he greatly adored. Ian. "Someone finally decided to return home?"The King asked, instantly feeling a boost in his mood after seeing Ian's cherry expression. The stiffling atmosphere inside the meeting room disappeared as a batch of fresh air covered the whole place. Even the people that didn't welcome his presence could feel their tensed muscles ease up without understanding why. The reason was simple. Ian was a living, breathing mana purifier afterall. "What could I do? I dearly missed my mother's snacks."Ian rubbed his belly as he whined. The occasional snacks Olivia made and brought into his
An Important Villain Fear
Ian had a big grin on his face as he felt the various types of aggressive mana targeted against him. It was unconscious. The situation remined him of his past as Noah where he had to always face a bunch of enemies all by himself. He was always outnumbered and overpowered. Yet he always managed to come out victorious somehow.Ian's smile wasn't invisible to the other's inside the room either. They could all see it clearly. And that smile, in a situation like that, meant nothing but provocation."Hey.. Control your expression."Albert nudged him softly from the sides as he whispered. He was afraid that a fight would break out if this kept going on. It also helped Ian snap out of his daze, reminiscing about his glorious days. "Do you think these guys will listen?"Ian asked Albert, seeing the little bit of hesitation that was still there, somewhere hidden deep inside. A lot has changed, but there was still trace of the meek personality that this guy had in the past. "We can't just get
An Important Villain Hope or Disaster?
After abruptly coming back to the capital and threatening the nobles, Ian had to spend a few more days handling matters related to that. He had to, no, he insisted on watching over the nobles as they paid for their sins by doing various activities such as paying respect to the deads, helping their family members out, clearing false accusation from peoples name, making public confessions etc etc. The nobles all went to great lengths fulfilled their task, specially since Ian made it very clear that he was watching over every single one of them, carefully. Ian did all that during the day and took care of some underworld businesses during the night. Like that, a week passed. Ian barely got any sleep during the whole time but his body was as energetic as if he had just woken from a great nap. It was all thanks to Jet and the others who kept Ian on top shape all the time. "You should take a break."Albert said with concern as he watched Ian scan through huge mountains of documents. Albe
