Your Not So Ordinary Villain

Chapter 312 Within His Control

?

Aberleign was glad that the man decided to join him. He then proceeded to tell the man his schedule and when they would leave. After their short conversation, Aberleign finally left because that was the only reason why he was there.

"Are you sure about this master?" The butler asked. It was a bit abrupt and any information that the master would need could be known through Astrophos.

"It's just a small visit and a small interaction. I won't even reveal who I am and will go there as that old man's guest." Cygnus brushed past the butler towards his bed where he laid down. "Please pack whatever we will be needing for the journey."

A loud knock on the master's door made the two of them look at the direction of the door. Mr. C returned his gaze on the master who mouthed one word 'Nina'. The butler went to open the door and there she was, Nina. She was wearing her usual bralette topped with a jacket and leather pants that hugged her legs. She was even wearing boots with high heels.

She strode inside and crossed her hands in front of her chest. "I heard that you are going to travel to El Merey, I want to come." She was straight forward and she was not clearly not expecting any rejection from the master.

Cygnus was feeling that Nina was becoming bolder as the days passed by. She started acting like this after she returned from the magic brigade of General Linius. It must be because she was not in action for a long time now.

"Alright you can come but don't come with that kind of outfit. The El Merey kingdom right now is considered a holy ground and dressing like that will undoubtedly get the attention of people. I will only go there to take a look." The master sat up from his bed and looked at her from head to toe.

Although he had no problem from the way she dresses, they were going to a place to sightsee and not to get some attention. Nina on the other hand looked down at her clothes and shrugged her shoulders. She even brushed her hair and flipped it back.

"Alright, I'll do as you like, master." Nina agreed since she had no problem with changing her style once in a while and she was confident that no matter what she wore would look good on her. "Are you really just going to take a look? Aren't you going to stir up some trouble?" She was really eager for some action.

"No. This time, I won't be the one causing trouble. Let's just wait for them to stir the boiling pot. Besides, everything on my side is already prepared." Cygnus waved his hands to let them stop asking. "Your long awaited fight will happen very soon. You only need to be patient."

At those words, Nina became excited. Unlike the other worlds where they had been, this place was different. There were many things in this world that were oddly connected to the master. She asked Ari once and had a glimpse of this world a thousand years ago based on the unlocked memories of the master. It was an awful world.

"And I will be plunging this world again in that fire but before I do it, I need the main characters to be in place." The master's voice was relaxed because everything was going in his favor. "I think I'll need to send Ignius to the other duchy and let him take care of them."

"Can he do it?" Nina was a bit doubtful because as far as she knew the dragon had other tasks that were given to him.

"Astrophos and Vain will help him. I heard that he let Astrophos use some of his wyverns just for spying and gathering information." The master laughed because of how serious the dragon was taking all of his commands.

"He must be enjoying what he is doing. He had been staying in that hot and dark place ever since we came to this world that is why he is happy to get to do your commands. So, I suggest that you continue to use him since he also works efficiently." Mr. C commented from the side where he had been silently standing.

"Yes, you are right. I should do that." Cygnus did not even think twice and a gate appeared in the room where the dragon came tumbling out. He landed on his butt and sighed at the abruptness of his master's calls.

"You've called for me again master?" Ignius asked. He just left the manor before they alighted from the carriage and now, he was being summoned once again.

"I have another task for you," the master answered, "I'll be sending you to the other two duchy of Lunaira and get me some people working there. You can also search there for that woman. I'll be sending Astrophos and Vain to help you secure a footing in those duchies."

"Are you going to take control of this kingdom?" There was a grin on the dragon's face as he stood up to stand up straight.

At the prospect of controlling the kingdom, the dragon became excited. Aside from treasures, the feeling of dominating humans was something that could make a dragon exhilarated. Several scenarios were already appearing inside the dragon's mind just because of his own guess.

"Isn't it better to be able to do that? That way I can control whatever is happening in this kingdom and once all of my main characters are gathered in one place, it will be easier to let them suffer." Cygnus only confirmed the dragon's guess and it made the room anxious.

"I will be carrying out your orders then master." The dragon bowed as he disappeared because he was eager to finish all his tasks. He was excited to see the kingdom burning.

"That is a good plan, master! Let's make this place fun!" Nina laughed and even after exiting the bedroom she was still laughing. She was getting excited too because once that happens, an unending shedding of blood would occur.

Mr. C was also tasked to send a message to the duke regarding the matter because he was too lazy to do it. Since there was already a gate that connected the two manors, the butler only needed to cross and he would arrive at the Ginehart duchy. The servants in the manor did not stop him as he went up to the duke's study.

After he knocked, he was allowed in. Linette was also there because he was talking with his husband regarding the next step that they will be doing. Mr. C gave both of them a bow before he stood in attention to wait for the duke's signal.

Ulysses had been working nonstop to fix the misunderstanding that almost destroyed his territory. Luckily, the problem was finally solved but he remained silent. Now that a message from his son came, he thought that it was also now the right time to show the kingdom that Ginehart was still standing.

He waved for the butler to take a seat on the empty couch on the opposite side of the table as he faced them. Mr. C took the seat before he asked them a question. "How have you been these past few days duke?"

"I've been doing good because we managed to fix the problem and punish the people who were behind those malicious rumors. They just wanted to ruin our reputation because of the power I held by saying that we haven't fulfilled any of the business deals that I signed." The duke ranted for a short while before he took a deep breath and grinned at the butler.

The butler nodded. "I see. I congratulate you then for solving the problem." The butler then summoned a small square in the air with something black swirling within it. He then dipped his hand on the swirling black and finally pulled out a dagger that he pushed towards the duke.

"What is this?" The duke was confused because of the dagger. He picked it up and unsheathed it. He admired it for a moment before returning it to its sheath.

"It is a gift from the master. That dagger is at least of the Mythical level and you can use it to defend yourself," the butler explained.

Ulysses was surprised at the level of the weapon. He carefully lifted the dagger once again and looked at it a bit more intently. Weapons of such level were difficult to come by but they were only giving it as a gift. "Are you sure about this?"

"Yes, and you should accept it because it might come in handy one of these days." The butler nodded as he looked at them silently after answering.

The duke took a deep breath before deciding to give it to his wife. He was already unparalleled with the sword so the dagger would better suit his wife. He could also feel that there was a hidden meaning behind the butler's words. It was better for them to prepare than to be caught off-guard.

"Are you here to tell me something that might happen in the future?"
