Crimson Overlord

Late in the night in B block, the boy dormitory.

Leon was sitting on his bed, lost in thoughts, when suddenly a shadow materialized near him.

”So, have you managed to find something on him?” Leon asked without a change in his expression.

”No!” The shadow answer was simple. It was difficult to know this person’s gender.

”It is that so? His background mustn’t be simple if one of the emperor’s shadows cannot find anything on him.”

”That man is too mysterious; it was as if he appeared suddenly; there was no record of him anywhere. In this era, it was impossible not to leave a record unless he is from that place.” The shadow speculated.

For a moment, Leon’s expression darkened.

”You mean he is from the hidden village?” Leon asked, fearing this possibility.

”The probability is high. He is too mysterious unless he is from there should be a record of him somewhere, or he came from another unlikely world.”

”Huh! If this is true, then it would be a big problem. We have a little information about the hidden village. All we know is that every one of the people that come from that place is all exceptional. Be it was the Spear Saint, the Sword Saint. They are all exceptional.”

”Exactly, why not use this opportunity to learn more about them, and you can also make him work for you. From what I see, he is talented; it would be a waste not to use him.” the shadow proposed to use Orpheus, but Leon chuckled, shaking his head.

”I’d love to, but a man like that doesn’t like working under someone. I could see it from his eyes. Besides, I can’t have him work under me because he is eyeing something that is mine. How can I tolerate that? It’s unforgivable.” Leon released a bit of killing intent at the end of his sentence.

The shadow could only sigh. The shadow had hoped Leon would reconsider; as a future emperor, he must consider the bigger picture. He must not let his emotions control him, but when it comes to the twins’ goddesses, especially Ella, it is like the crown prince would lose all reasoning. It was quite a shame; he would have been perfect if not for this defect.

”What about that girl, the maid. It seems Amber is her name. Did you find anything?” Leon asked when he remembered the platinum blonde girl.

”Yes! She is from the orphanage. She willingly decided to follow Kyle after he visited the orphanage and made a donation. She became his maid shortly after, and he trained her. It’s all we know.”

”Huh!” Leon went into contemplation for a moment before opening his mouth again.

”Let’s do this. Let’s use Craig to learn more about Kyle. I’ll steal his maid before getting rid of him. He should know that it was a foolish decision to make. Wanting to drool over something that will be mine, he must have a death wish.”

‘It’s good that you know she is not yours yet.’ The shadow sighed and was about to depart, Leon added.

”Tell my mother I’ll need her help.”

‘Empress Lillia? The prince is about to go all out to crush this young man. Such a party, I thought he might make him his subordinate. It would have helped him greatly in the future.’ The shadow, but naturally, didn’t voice this out.

”I understand.”

Then the shadow disappeared as it appeared.

Once alone, Leon chuckled, and with his eyes filled with infatuation, he declared.

”They can only be mine, at least Ella. I will eliminate everything that will stand in my path; I’ll do anything.”

He had no idea that at the moment, a pair of sinister eyes were watching him, and the owner of these eyes heard everything. It was time to inform its master.

Inside Orpheus’s room, he lay on his bed doing nothing when suddenly he chuckled.

”I guess my warning didn’t work. If you want to play, then I’ll play with you. Let’s see why not begin with her?” He said, already thinking about how much fun he would have; he was not the type that sat doing nothing when someone decided to go against him.

”Once the girl she sent arrives, I will give them a task,” Orpheus said after thinking about something.

However, suddenly, his face turned colder, and the room was plunged into a bone-chilling coldness. Even Xiaosu sleeping in the adjacent room felt cold; the blanket did nothing to protect him from this coldness; he could only curl his body and fall deeper into sleep.

”To think you will manage to survive. Well, it doesn’t matter. I will kill you all this time. Your sin is unforgivable.” Orpheus declared with a cruel smile on his face.

At the same time, in another block, inside a room, Grim Asmodeus was sleeping when suddenly his body trembled, and he started to have a nightmare.

[ A black sky.

In the darkness of fading sun and moon, a hill was covered with numerous corpses.

And standing atop this hill covered in corpses was a man judging by his outfit. This man had his face facing the other side; thus it was impossible to see his face.

Corpses, endless corpses and

Death.

The scene was filled with pulverized and crushed corpses no matter where you looked.

Gore filled the area: internal organs and cerebrospinal fluid.

It was a scene that could make even the strong-willed origin master to want to throw up.

”Wahhh!” Grim vomited again and again; no matter how much he had seen this scene, he couldn’t get used to it and would end up throwing.

Suddenly that man turned his head in his direction; he still couldn’t see his face, nor could he tell what color was his eyes, black? crimson maybe? He couldn’t tell but only one emotion he felt at the moment.

‘Fear.’

Overwhelming, Absolute.

Fear.

This man was too scary.]

”Gasp!” Huh! Ah! Ah!” Grim woke up panting, his body was drenched, and his heart seemed as if it could explode at any moment.

”Ah! Ah! This nightmare again. I wonder what this means.” Grim mumbled while he decided to take a quick bath to freshen up.

[Accept me, and I’ll tell you.] As usual, the thing sleeping deep within his soul was trying to lure him into accepting him; unfortunately he was not going to fall for this.

”Shut up. I will find the answer on my own.” Grim said. He would find the answer himself; there was no need to rely on this thing.
