Miller approached them as Ash placed Ian on the bed.
"He fainted, probably because he over exerted himself."
Ash guessed the situation pretty accurately even though he didn't know anything that happened inside the island.
He didn't need to know, because, afterall, he knew how Ian was. And depending on that information alone, one could easily guess what type of torture he made himself go through to find Olivia's cure.
Miller stood beside the bed and tried to check Ian's condition. The moment he placed his hand on his forehead, he instinctively removed his hand instantly.
"Hot... he's burning.. Corner!"
Corner was already behind Miller. Seeing his lords panicked expression, he quickly approached them.
"The young master has a fever?!"

Everyone in the duchy was delighted to hear of the recovery of their duchess.Although the details were strictly kept secret, the only thing known to the public was that Adrian risked his own life and saved his mother from death's door.

*Cough cough*"Ian... It seems like you're still feeling unwell..""That's right, young master. Why don't you get some more rest?"Albert and Arthur tried to pacify the situation since they could clearly sense Ian's dislike towards some of the people present there. Both of them didn't want Ian to make more enemies or get hurt so they took action."I'm fine. Thank you for your concern."Knock knock."Come in."Ian said as he looked at the door.Two maids along with Rob came inside, trays full of food and beverages in their hand."Young master. Tea for the guests.""Yeah. Thanks."Ian took a seat on his chair, which was the chair belonging to the master of the room. The two kids seated themselves right next to Ian.

After an awkward fifteen minutes of Ian and his guests munching on the delicious snacks that the head chef specially made, George, William and the other two who came to make fun of Ian left after failing their mission, miserably."Good riddance..."Ian sighed and leaned back on his chair, getting rid of the perfect noble facade that he was putting up even moments ago. Rianne was still there, but she wasn't a presence that Ian had to pretend in front.The change in his attitude had such a gap that it made the other's in the room question whether they were the same person."Was that too hard?"Albert asked with a concerned expression. He was, unlike the others, unfamiliar with Ian's cruel or vicious side. And even if he ever came to know it, he'd just shrug it off as Ian doing things in self defence."......."Ian do

"This is unbelievable...""But it's the truth."Reynold tried to deny the truth and Ian simply shrugged his shoulder."I.. I need some time to process all this..""Sure. Just make sure not to tell anyone what you saw that day.""At least give me an explanation... You also know what kind of disaster you're storing inside that little mansion of yours."Reynold said as he massaged his temple. He was having a pretty bad headache at the moment."I can't tell you the details.But I swear on my name, not even one person inside that mansion will hurt the kingdom in any way.""...How are you so sure?""Because they're my people.""What an absurd logic.

An Important Villain My brother is the coolest!
Seven days ago, when Ian fell unconscious after using his attribute, he was actually having flashbacks of his past once again.He knew it was a backlash from using his attribute of darkness. As hundreds of memory panels covered his eyes, a bright light flashed and blinded his view.'Here we go again...'He sighed as he tried to stay as calm as possible. Since he knew what was coming, it wasn't as shocking or unexpected as the first time.He thought he could handle it pretty well this time. Or so he believed."Ah... Noah! Get a grip!"Someone started shaking his shoulders violently, making him frown. He opened his eyes wondering what kind of tragedy he was going to face next but-"Hurry! We need to run!"El was standing in front of him, grabbing him by the shoulder and shaking him awake.

'They're real.'Noah thought as he looked at the struggling people in front of him."Are they done yet?!"Asked one of the frontliners, frustration and worry filling his voice."The last batch is being dispatched! Just a bit more and we'll be done!"'Heh.. As if that's possible..'Noah shrugged his shoulder as he heard their conversation full of hope. It was one of the major incidents in his life, of course it won't come to an end so easily.The zombies were already covering the building from almost every corner and their numbers kept increasing with each passing second. Just being able to get out of the building would need them to sacrifice a huge number of people.'It'd probably decrease their number by half?'That was the assumption of a veteran who fought and survived in this

Ian returned. After wondering the continent for half a year, he came back with a 'Bang!'. Right when the nobles all around the country gathered to 'show the hero his place', Ian returned. Crazy hypothesises such that Ian being a Devil worshipper, betraying the country and being on the run or that he's actually a demon etc etc all came to an end as he openly took Arthur's side and threatened the other nobles.Of course, most of those rumours weren't too far off the mark. Ian did prefer villains over heroes, demons over angels, he had no love for their country and lastly, he was a darkness ability user with a twisted moral sense. And! To top it all off, he also preferred these rumours over ones that would hail him as a hero. he'd rather be on the run after being called a demon rather than be called a hero and worshipped. Again, twisted morality. But he couldn't do that this time. There were too many people using his name so he couldn't just let it be as those people got treated bad

"It's been a week since young master lost consciousness."Rob wrote in his diary as he sighed. There was a heavy atmosphere surrounding the duchy ever since the day Adrian fell down from the roof and went into a coma. How or why it happened was still a mystery around the duchy but speculations about an attempted suicide was slowly spreading around. Rob didn't believe them though. The Adrian he knew was too selfish and arrogant to do something like that. Yet, even when he was so sure, a small part of his mind kept lingering over that quiet and motionless room where Adrian was."Ah.. It's been a while."With that, Rob went to take another look at the sleeping Adrian for the 36th time that day. Although he was telling himself that Adrian's situation wasn't that serious, that he'd wake up soon, as he tried to remember all the bad things Ian did in his short lifetime just to mask his worry, he didn't even realise that he was unconsciously heading towards Ian's room again.

The Chosen One
Things Ian did(Unintentionally or intentionally) that influenced the future of Arthur's world: First of all, although the effect wasn't that eye-catching at the moment, Ian was going to be known as the figure that erased racial discrimination. Due to him giving shelter to people of all age and race, and the humans around him having constant changes in their views and perspective, it was going to be the seed that erased all future discrimination and racial profiling. Secondly, he was going to be known as the bridge between Humans and the Demons. The Queen of the Demons, Ash's mother who had gone back to the demon world to deal with some 'internal affairs' would soon return with an actual offer of friendship between the demons and the humans. It was Bela's way of showing gratitude to the people who had taken care of her son in his times of need. Ian's love for Ash was plain as day and the care and gentleness he showed when dealing with him was no different from what a parent woul

"What..?""That's absurd!""Is that sorcery? Does he think he can fool us so easily?!"There were looks of disbelief, shock and confusion on everyone's faces as they looked at Ash. But no matter how tough they acted or how oblivious they tried to be, the bone chilling aura coming from Ash that slowly filled the room was undeniable. It was an aura that was impossible for any human to manifest, dark and scary."It doesn't matter whether you believe me or not.""I'm not the one behind bars looking at lifetime imprisonment and possible death sentence."Ian shrugged his shoulders in a casual manner as he signaled for Ash to stop. He was only here to give these people a chance. A chance at repentance. If they refuse to grab it, he didn't care less whether they died or lived inside a cage forever. 'Human resources are valuable after all.'That was one of the other reasons why Ian was here. He wanted to bind all these people under contract and have them serve the country. It didn't sit right

The Real Deal
"You're gonna let them go?" Arthur asked, conflicted, as he looked at Ian. They were currently in an underground prison, the biggest prison that was made on Ian's request under the Duchy. The war criminals, the cult members, were being held here. Seven days had already passed since Ian's soul returned to his body. He was forced to have complete bedrest this whole time by his parents and the kids. They finally let him go after he managed to manipulate them emotionally with everything he had. It was a difficult job indeed. But nothing was impossible for Ian. "Let them go? NO?" Ian asked back in utter shock instead. But it wasn't Arthur's fault that he misunderstood. Ian did indeed say something that could be easily misinterpreted. "But you just said 'It's time to go out.'..?" That's what he said. To the criminals. Not that he meant it literally. "To the hall. TO.THE.HALL." Ian repeated himself twice, once for the criminals and once for Arthur. Everyone captured already had

A Good Kind of Pain
Ian's time with the kids were cut short as the Dicarious couple arrived in a haste. A part of Ian was happy to see them again after so long. But a part of him was also wondering if they really were there for Ian. What if they were expecting their son to come back? What if the person they expected to see coming to his senses was Adrian and not him? How disappointed they would be. With a mixture of these various emotions coursing through his mind, he failed to make any type of expression when faced with those two people. Neither could he smile wholeheartedly nor apologize and cry. The kids were guided outside by Arthur and Albert, giving Ian and his parents the room to themselves. Ash was reluctant to leave seeing Ian's expression, but the atmosphere was too heavy for him to interfere. So while everyone else went to another room, he stayed, waiting while standing outside Ian's room. The others also didn't force him to leave since they didn't know which was better. "Are you

Glad to be Back
"YOU!"Smack!"THOUGHTLESS!"SMACK!"BAS-! JER-!! PERSON!"Ian had to wake up from his peaceful sleep with the sound of someone's shout along with the obnoxiously loud yet not so painful smacking of the pillows."Ow ow ow.. what the hell...?""Huh?""I'm back?"Ian woke up rubbing the back of his head that was the victim of continuous battering and looked around. The changed bedroom and the familiar faces made him aware of the fact that he had indeed come back. "What?""What are you talking about, young master? You didn't go anywhere."Both Albert and Arthur looked concerned as they checked Ian's status for any abnormalities. Only after multiple checking did they finally sigh in relief. "Ah no.. ""Hey guys.. Long time no see?"Ian greeted the kids and the Prince and the Knight all together while leaning back on his bed. The one responsible for the ruthless battering from before still had a massive pout on their face as they silently glared at Ian. "Are you angry? I'm sorry. How lo

A Week Without Ian
Ian enjoyed the tea from hell while having a long and informative conversation with death, or at least that's who he assumed the other person was. He learned about the past that he had locked away and the people he had forgotten. But it all felt distant, like he was viewing the life of somebody else. "Why did I do that? Lock my memories?"Ian was curious. Just by watching the memories of Noah's future, he could tell that he lived a pretty okay life. The daughter he adopted also turned out to be great. She became his family. These were precious memories. So he couldn't understand why he'd lock them up like this. "After I presented you with my request, this is what you told me."Death continued showing Ian another set of completely different memories. An old man, wrinkly hand, white hair, hazy eyes. The room looked similar to the one he was in right now, and so was the person in front of them. "The me right now cannot save a world.""The blade has already lost it's edge.""I've grow

Unfiltered Memories
"What do you mean by welcome back?"Ian asked, confused. As far as he could remember, never before in his life did he see this man or these scenes. And these weren't circumstances that he'd forget 'by chance' either. "After your first death, you came here.""First death.. Ah.. When I jumped down the bridge?"Ian remembered his last moments as Noah. The music that played, the scenery he watched on top of that bridge, they were all very memorable. Yet, he had no memory of coming to this place.But unlike Ian's thoughts, the guy in front of him shook his head in denial. Not understanding exactly which part he was denying, Ian tilted his head to the side slightly."What death are you talking about then?""You didn't die back then."The guy sat down on the bed, facing Ian and the endless hell behind him as he spoke. "When you were at the verge of losing consciousness, you heard a childs cry.""A child?""Yes. It was the final monster outbreak." Ian wondered what this guy was talking abo
