The Villain's Side of the Novel

Three weeks ago.

In the office of the head of the family in the Parada family mansion.

"So you're saying that the SHIELD has asked you to collect information on the Parada family," he slumped in his chair with an emotionless expression, looking at the soft-spoken young man who was kneeling in front of the desk. Fray repeated the words Nizar had said to him moments earlier.

"Yes, sir. I intended at first to decline their offer, but I thought it would be better to ask your opinion first before answering them." Nizar, still on one knee looking at the ground avoiding Fray's face, replied in a submissive voice.

" And why did you decline their offer?"

Although Nizar was not looking at Fray's face, he was able to feel the piercing look that come with Fray's calm question, the look that Nizar found himself unable to lie while he was under its scope, "I - I..." For some time Nizar found himself unable to answer, but once he looked at his wrist, which had a deep scar around it, suddenly hundreds of different memories and thoughts came to his mind about why he chose the Parada family and abandoned his friend Luke. But all those thoughts, memories, and reasons Nizar was able, to sum up in one sentence: "I do not want to be an enemy of the Parada family."

----Now

" After the royal party incident, the relationship between the Lionar Kingdom and the Niram Empire, which was not good in the first place, deteriorated further, as the Lionar Kingdom regarded the Empire as the first suspect, It has come to the point where many deadly battles break out between the soldiers of the two kingdoms in their borders. The two kingdoms reached a stage of no return two weeks ago after an unknown power attacked one of the small cities of the Niram Empire, which was close to the border with the Lionar Kingdom, the attack was very brutal, and all the inhabitants of the city were slaughtered without leaving any survivors, the empire accused the Kingdom of this attack And although the Lionar kingdom did not admit to this attack, the empire was not convinced, and this is the direct reason that made it declare war without accepting any negotiations, "Nizar

(According to the novel, the war is still about two years away, it seems that my interference has changed a lot, but as it happened in the novel, the beginning of the continental war started with the war between the Lionar Kingdom and the Niram Empire ) While Nizar was giving his report, Fray could not help but think about these changes, which became difficult for Fray to track at this point.

"Actually, I also don't believe that Liinar kingdom was behind the attack on that city. Obviously, there is a third party trying to start a war between them. I still don't know why the Niram Empire couldn't come to this conclusion." Nizar.

"Niram Empire is well aware that Lionar Kingdom was not responsible for that attack," Fray said in a low voice.

"What do you mean sir ?…" Nizar . c

Niram empire.

Imperial Palace.

In the courts of the palaces, on a throne adorned with many jewels and rare metals, a middle-aged man with blond hair and an emotionless look in his eyes was sitting, looking at the man who was below the throne, wearing heavy military armor, respectfully kneeling on one knee.

"So when will the army be ready to move, General?" the man sitting on the throne asked in a deep voice.

"According to our current pace, the army will be ready to join the Frontier Military Detachment within a month, Your Majesty," the kneeling general answered in a respectful voice.

(Just wait a little longer, my ancestors. Soon the Niram Empire will return to rule the continent.) With an excited look on his face, thought the emperor of the Niram Empire who was sitting on the throne with a haughty posture, before saying, "We have to finish this quickly, once we deal with the matter of the Lionar Kingdom, it will be easy to subdue the ancient families."

*******

"Niram Empire greatly underestimates the old families," and leaning back in his chair, Fray said with a low voice and an absent-minded expression.

"Underestimate the old families, what do you mean, sir?" With a curious expression, Nizar asked after hearing Fray's muttering.

"You'll understand soon, So, do you have anything else you want to say?" Unwilling to explain any further, Fray calmly asked.

"Yes, sir, the news of this war has caused many side effects. Many cities that had quarrels before seem to be preparing for war now. At this pace, great chaos will soon break out throughout the continent, and there is a great possibility that the Monster kingdom will take advantage of this chaos." Nizar

(The Monster kingdom, huh! Things are developing very fast, it's getting hard to keep up with all of this) while internally violating Fray's thoughts as he closes his eyes from the severity of the physical and mental fatigue that has begun to become difficult for Fray to deal with lately.

*****

After the end of the meeting with Nizar, Fray decided to go back to his bedroom, which he had not seen for a while, to take a rest and restore some much-needed energy, at least this was the last thought in Fray's mind before he found himself immersed in a strange scene.

Around a simple lunch table, Fray's consciousness was embodied in the form of the old man sitting at the top of the table, looking at many faces that had become a little familiar to Fray. There were three young children, one of them a little girl and two boys, sitting at the underside of the table, and then in the middle of the table were Sitting next to each other are six figures, including men and women, their age ranging between the twenties and fifties.

"Yassine, why are you so distracted, what are you thinking?"

As he looked at this scene, different feelings raced inside him. Suddenly, Fray heard a voice coming and a gentle touch on his hands, which made him turn to the direction of the voice that was next to him, to find a woman with white hair and wrinkles covering her face, looking at him with kind eyes.

It is not known whether it was the dreams that had always come in the form of nightmares that had changed or because he was enjoying the false sense of family he was experiencing, but a small rare smile was drawn on Fray's sleeping face.
