The Villain Can't Lose

Chapter 28 Adaptation

?The healing ranks made sense, but I couldn't believe that Serenu was a healer too, "so what is Serenu's rank then?"

She stopped her wings and looked at me with a serious expression, she placed her hand on her chest, she looked so confident, and her smile seemed genuine, [healer,] she said with pride.

I shook my head, "I don't understand."

She stared at me and noticed that I couldn't understand, she lifted her tiny finger and pointed it to her ear, she put her hand on her neck, and then her small arms crossed, and she looked at me with a smile, she stood up and flapped her wings, she moved to the door and stopped right next to it, she looked at me with her violet eyes and explained herself, she took off her glasses and she placed them on top of her small chest.

[The butler's rank is A,] she looked at me with a proud look in her eyes, she continued, [The highest rank among healers, that means that he can heal wounds, diseases, and injuries. This means that he can save lives, which is one of the reasons why he became a butler. As you can see, my rank is B, I'm not as skilled as the butler, but I'm capable of healing minor wounds and illnesses.]

"Zuri, you're a healer too?" My mouth gaped open.

She nodded, and then she flew towards the window, she opened her wings, she disappeared for a moment, and then she appeared above the window, and she looked down at me, she reached her tiny hands towards the edge of the glass, and she put her hands on the window and leaned forward slightly, she began to walk along the windowsill, [I'm not capable of what the Butler is, but I can heal you when you tell me to... Now I'm tired, I have to go. Bye.]

She vanished into a thin air without waiting for my reply back.

This was so much information to take... First the magic level and fear, then the demon and its possessions and now Serenu was a healer.

Okay, some things made more sense, for example how I was healed after my first fight but not completely, so he didn't want to use a huge amount of mana to cure me completely, now it explained why the scars on my face were also disappearing.

Serenu was doing everything in silence while I was asleep... He didn't want to show his power and didn't want to scare me so he healed me in stages...

I closed my eyes for a second and tried to remember the events that happened today, and I remembered that the demon was still the most important thing right now, I had to get rid of it first and immediately.

p?nd?`no??1--?o? I have to become stronger than everyone else, I have to become the strongest...

I will be able to train magic and my mana with Nari, I should also ask for Serenu's help in the future as Zuri suggested that he would be a good partner to train with. I also had Evelia Rawson, Doru's younger sister coming over to our mansion to play with twins, which also could lead to me befriending her and getting all the information I wanted about her brother out from her lips.

I just needed to work on my communication skills with kids, so they would stop fearing me.

I had Nari under my control, Irene seemed to be supporting my side as well, and the King will belong to my side as well, everything was going the way I wanted for now.

I pretty much had everything under my control, all I needed right now was to train and become stronger than ever.

Serenu's POV

The Master seemed to be exhausted in the morning, so I decided to give him a break instead of worrying him about the things he couldn't control.

He was still young and involving him in these matters would be too early, as he's still weak.

I served this family for more than a decade now.

I was sent here to protect the young master from everything bad that could happen to him or his siblings. That's my job, his personal guard.

I was given a position of a butler to take care of the house in disguise and report everything to Lady Herena who couldn't do it herself.

My job here is to heal the young master and never let him struggle. If the young master is sick, I have to make sure that he doesn't suffer from it. I can't afford to let him fall ill and have to stay in bed for weeks. It isn't good for his body and mind, and he won't be able to reach his full potential.

In the past, I never dealt with demons, but I knew that I will have to deal with them as soon as I entered this mansion.

It was my duty to keep the young master safe and protected.

I had to do the best I could to fulfil my duties.

And so, I came up with a plan:

First of all, I need to find out more about the demon inside of the Duke, I want to know what it looks like, its strengths and weaknesses, and what kind of abilities it might have.

If we can figure this out, we will be able to prepare ourselves better for the battle that might await us.

We need to know all of our enemies' capabilities, so we can counterattack and defeat them easily without wasting our precious time.

I know that it can probably possess anything that it wants and turn it into its minion, but I also know that it needs a living host to enter their bodies. If we can create a barrier around our young master and his siblings, we will be able to protect them from such an attack.

I saw the young master fight against the assassin that Duke possess, and his sudden change of behaviour made me worry... I thought that the last fight he had with the assassin in his bedroom would be the part where he breaks down, but instead, he looks to be mentally stronger.

He doesn't back down from his father's threats and doesn't allow anyone to make him question his presence.

I like the new changes of his, he's my young master and I shall be a loyal servant of his.
