The Author Is Speechless

Chapter 70: Viktor's real identity

"Did I hurt your pride, Alberto?" Viktor asked.

"No, but I'm going to ask you only one thing. How did you stop my sword?"

"A direct killing attempt right after seeing your master. How should I punish you? 200 laps around the kingdom?"

"Stop messing around!! You're a dark magician!! And using dark magic is forbidden in this kingdom. So, I will kill you with my own two hands so the pride of my master stays intact."

Just what kind of parasite is living inside his head? Is he okay?

"Tell me how I am a dark magician?" Viktor asked.

"Tell you? My butter told me right after you left. Only a dark magician can use flight magic."

"Killing the duke and taking over his position is considered legal then?"

Alberto flinched after hearing his words and tried to attack him again with another sword but he failed too.

"So, I can count that as the truth then, right? So, what do you want me to do to you? Arrest you for murdering and illegally taking over the duke's position before 15?"

"What are you talking about? I never killed my family. It was an assassin's work."

"You can't hide anything from me. Plus, I'm not a dark magician. If I were, the Lyfrone Academy would execute me already even after 100 years after my graduation."

Viktor broke his sword with his bare hands and it shattered all over the floor. "You crossed the line by pointing your sword at my neck. So you lose your sword. I forgive you as a fellow student of mine only for today. There will be no next time."

Viktor turned back and started to walk out of the building, so Alberto started to follow him.

"Oii!! I challenge you to a duel! If I win, you have to confess that you use black magic!"

"I refuse to accept a duel from a coward."

Viktor replied right after he finished his sentence and kept walking towards the main gate.

"Do you even consider yourself as a man ha??? Running away by folding your tail inside those long legs?"

Viktor turned back and pointed his finger like a gun and said "Bam" with a gentle voice. The trees right beside him vanished along with the golden statue into the thin air. Some portion of his hair also vanished with the progress and he sat down after looking back.

"Do you feel any black magic here? Or do you feel holy magic?"

Alberto was too shocked that his words stopped coming out of his mouth. "Looks like I've raised a dog who doesn't know who's the real owner. You are a disappointment."

Viktor looked down and saw his eyes frozen by feeling the enormous amount of holy magic around his body. But he wasn't feeling happy. He was feeling guilty.

Tsk! This was such a waste. I thought that I'll have a pleasant reunion with my only student and it turned out to be a ***. Looks like I'll have to ruin the whole story by killing the female lead first. I don't want to waste my time on this stupid thing.

Viktor suddenly vanished into thin air and appeared in his room.

He took off his clothes and took a quick cold shower and went straight to his bed. Adonis was dismissed from his duty after 11 pm. So, he was away from home somewhere. But Viktor didn't mind it. Because he has the authority as a free man to do whatever he wants after his duty is over. Viktor ordered him to live freely so he was doing whatever he likes outside.

As soon as he went inside his blanket coded with sleeping magic, he fell into deep sleep without waking up in his library.

The next day.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

"Master. It's almost afternoon." Adonis was waiting outside his room with his breakfast and a letter on a tray. He went inside the room when Viktor called him and handed over the letter first because it seemed important.

"A letter right after I attend the banquet?" Viktor rubbed his eyes and moved the blanket aside to sit up.

"Yes, master. It came in the early morning from the Harvord family."

Hm? Harvord? What do they want from me all of a sudden?

He looked at the seal and saw a gold leaf was also used to decorate it. The letter was wrapped with daisy flower petals.

A family letter from the duke? Come to think of it, I read something about Viktor's family a few years ago. It said that his family was noble and he was the firstborn of the duke. But I never bother to read about his father's records. Is he Viktor's father?

He put away the letter and took his father's records out of his library and started to read it. After reading half of the book, the name Viktor appeared in the book when the duchess was pregnant.

If Viktor is born as the firstborn, was he thrown away? He had no memories of living inside the mansion.

He kept reading and reading and found out that his family wasn't from Vestrain. He was from the northern kingdom and an assassin who worked for king Azadevel. He was a son of a baron and he was trained as an assassin from a young age. Later, left his country and joined the royal shadows of Vestrain.

Soon, he became the leader of the royal shadow and the king gave him an important mission.

In the procedure, the duke has to leave Viktor in front of an orphanage to keep him alive but it took him years to complete the mission. He was left alone because the mistress was an assassin too.

The Harvord family is a family of assassins from generation to generation.

So, why hasn't he picked Viktor up yet?

Viktor turned the page and saw the reason why Viktor's father didn't let Viktor inside the house yet. The first reason is, the royal shadow is a dangerous group. The other nobles simply hated the family because they are like leeches to their personal life. The royal shadow knows everything and they are always keeping an eye on everyone. Nobody knows when they are being watched by them. So, the noble family always tries to fight against them in order to secure their personal life.

If Viktor, who worked most of his childhood in a stable, comes inside the house without any proper training, he might get killed by the hands of his royal shadow members.

For saving his own son's life, the duke didn't even mention his son's existence to anyone. Not even Viktor's younger brothers know about his existence.

Hm… so that's why he kept his mouth shut. But after my identity was exposed yesterday, he finally took a step to take me in. I bet the royal shadow already knew about the letter today.

Let's see what the letter says.

Viktor opened the letter and saw his father's handwriting for the first time. It was clear that the ink was old. He prepared this letter more than years ago but he wasn't able to reach me after I became Viktor. Because I hid myself away from every suspicious encounter. I guess they were royal shadows.

Viktor lit the letter on fire after reading it and ate his breakfast with Adonis and Nor.

"Where's Kathryn?" Nor asked.

"She's on a mission," Adonis replied.

Hm? Is that the time already? I heard Adonis finally completed her training. Now she's far more powerful than a royal shadow leader. I bet she's on her way to kill her uncle.

"Congratulations on teaching a kid successfully, Adonis. She's an obedient one, unlike mine who became an *** after getting one simple gift."

"Are you talking about the human you trained 7 years ago, master?" Adonis asked.

"Yes. He killed his family for power and he didn't listen to my advice. So I broke the sword I gave him. He's not worth having my blessing."

He should've listened to my advice back then. Or he wouldn't have to face a great loss today. That sword was worth more than millions of gold.

Both Nor and Adonis looked outside in the same direction from the greenhouse and said, "Master, I sense a powerful human is coming to our estate."

Viktor looked outside through the greenhouse wall and saw a carriage passing through the road and took a turn to the main gate. Although, he was far away from the carriage, he was able to see the face of his father clearly from that distance.

"Nor, inform Kathryn to come back home as soon as she's done with her mission."

"Yes, master."

Nor went inside the main house and Adonis opened the door for them to enter the greenhouse. There was a group of men outside the greenhouse but only one person entered through the small gate with a small box.

Viktor looked at the man's face clearly and saw it was the same as his face except for the eyes. The man's eyes were purple instead of silver.

So, Viktor inherited his mother's eyes.
