I Am The Game's Villain

Chapter 301  Amael's Show [1]

"What was that, Duncan?" Claudia demanded as soon as the Olphean family left the hall. She struggled to contain her fury.

"I made the right decision, Claudia. I don't see the problem with them being engaged. They each gave their first time to each other," Duncan said, glancing at Elizabeth, who trembled in shame with her head lowered.

"This is not a reason to engage them! He doesn't deserve Elizabeth, and more importantly, he is Alea's son!" Claudia argued angrily.

"G-Grandfather?" Elizabeth looked at Duncan and Claudia with confusion. They had talked about Amael being Connor's brother and Alea Olphean's mother, but she had thought they were just close. However...

Duncan sighed and nodded at his granddaughter. "He is Alea's biological son and Connor Olphean's younger blood brother."

"..." Elizabeth and Selene fell speechless when Duncan confirmed.

"Due to certain circumstances, he was sent to the Celesta Kingdom when he was a still a child. He was adopted by Alea's elder sister, Oryanna. But ten years ago, Oryanna was killed," Duncan explained contemplatively. "Alea made several trips to replace Oryanna's place for Oryanna's daughter and her own son, Amael, but she stopped when her sister was killed. An orphan from his mother, just three months ago, he lost his adopted father and adopted sister in the great incident that occurred in the Capital of Dorian."

"You mean... with the Holy Garden?" Elizabeth asked.

"Yes," Duncan nodded and used a remote to show a projection. It displayed the Holy Garden of Eden floating above the destroyed ground of the Capital—a historical event that had reverberated throughout the world. Ante-Eden attacked the Holy Capital of the Kingdom of Celesta, a widely known event.

"That day he lost his remaining family with whom he grew up, and then, because of a royal crime, he was expelled from the Kingdom, and he joined your academy," Duncan added.

"Royal crime?" Selene asked, puzzled.

"Yes," Duncan smiled. After researching about Edward Falkrona, he knew that Amael was a tremendous talent. "He killed the King's younger brother."

Elizabeth and Selene couldn't hold back their shock.

"The only reason he is still alive is that he is Alea's son and also the grandson of the Supreme Head of the Falkrona House, Waylen Falkrona."

At the mention of Waylen Falkrona, another DemiGod, they fell into silence.

What about Earth? He's clearly a better match for Elizabeth than Alea's son!" Claudia insisted.

"Perhaps... but it's too late for that. Earth isn't here, and Elizabeth's first night has already occurred," Duncan shook his head.

Elizabeth could only bow her head in response.

"You don't understand, Duncan... I saw him," Claudia said with frustration. "I saw Alea's son in my dreams. He is dangerous-"

"Claudia," Duncan interrupted her. He was well aware of Claudia's prophecies about Edward. "He will take care of Elizabeth. To save his sister, he fought against Brandon Delavoic and even managed to kill him."

"Brandon Delavoic..." Selene muttered. She and Elizabeth, along with everyone else, knew who Brandon Delavoic was. He was the Leader of Ante-Eden until he was killed three months ago by the King, or so they said...

"It doesn't change what I said!" Claudia shot a glare at her husband and left angrily.

Duncan sighed and turned to Elizabeth. "Are you fine with it, Amaya?"

Elizabeth raised her empty gaze and let out a small laugh. "Do I even have a say in this matter, grandfather?" She said before leaving slowly, her expression shattered.

"I'm sorry, grandfather," Selene apologized after Elizabeth left.

"Dear, you should first apologize to your sister," Duncan advised her with an exasperated smile.

Selene lowered her head. "She doesn't want to hear me out."

She sure hates me now.

How many girls did I antagonize in a few days?

Alvara, Celeste, Alicia, and recently even Elizabeth.

After a bit more conversation, Victor returned to his seat as Cylien called out to him.

I found myself alone on the last row, with others scattered in the rows in front.

I kept receiving curious gazes because of my choice of seating, but I ignored them. Despite the annoyances of school, it was a good spot to relax and think about other things.

I needed to think about the recent events and what I should do about the next ones since the plot might slightly altered now.

"Oh my, look who's back?"

Unfortunately, my solitude didn't last long.

From the entrance, a group of elves appeared, led by Allen Teraquin, Alvara's younger brother.

"Allen, all the first years have craftsmanship class. It's not here," Roda Moonfang, who was also with them, entered and warned Allen, who took a seat on the large desk.

"Come on, Roda," Allen winked at her before settling in.

"What are you doing, Allen?" Celeste asked, exasperated.

"I'm only looking at my seniors, Celeste," Allen replied with a mischievous smile.

"You should leave. The teacher is coming," Cylien said with furrowed brows.

What was he even doing here, really?

As Allen entered, it was obvious he was aiming at me, but I had doubts…

"No. I sent the teacher away, don't worry," Allen said with a smirk. "A little gratitude wouldn't hurt, you know?"

"Why did you do that?" Victor asked, bewildered.

Allen's gaze shifted to Victor with disdain. "I don't answer Halves." Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on novelenglish.net . Fɪre.nᴇt

"Allen!" Celeste stood up angrily.

"Let's calm down, I'm not here for you," Allen said before finally looking directly at me.

Everyone followed Allen's line of sight, and it easily landed on me, seated high at the back of the lecture hall.

I met Allen's gaze with composure.

Allen scowled before smirking and redirecting his attention to Jiren. "Bring him here. He needs to greet his new master from now on."

Jiren and his friends looked almost startled by the command, frozen in place.

An awkward silence filled the room as confusion spread among everyone.

Seeing Allen frown, I couldn't help but let a visible smirk slip onto my lips.
