After the duel, most things had returned to how they used to be, but the memory lingered in their minds for days. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
It was not something that would be easily forgotten. But regardless of all that, Silva had better things to do. Aside from classes, he was to meet Dawn and see the mercenary group.
He also had the void tickets, the school labyrinth, and a few other things. He even waited through every class so that he could head to his room and get into the void labyrinth.
Silva had noticed one thing, though: his brother, Oliver, was not in class all through today. He didn’t know why that was, but he had a bad feeling.
—
Inside the council lounge, Oliver stood before the president, the number one seat of the council.
“Oliver Terron, the son of the Duke, the first son to be precise.
I know you are wondering as to why I called you here; it’s weird for the council president to suddenly ask for a first-year in private.
But I feel there is an issue that both of us can align with. And that issue is Silva Terron, the one who walked into your life and caused things to go from worse to worst.
I understand that your position as the heir to the Terron name was already in doubt because of your sister and her crazy talent.
But even then, you could survive; you could still hope that all would be okay, and you just had to work hard to prove that you are the right one for the name.
You dedicated your life and all your strength to become the one that would be the heir, and when you were catching up, Silva shows up in the picture.
And I understand your pain and how you feel because he is not only disrupting your life, he is also disrupting this academy.
I understand that he is a special case, one that the director favors, but I am the council president, I am the number one student here, and my words are to be gold to the students.
I refuse to allow Silva, no matter how important he is, to take a position I toiled for. And I know you feel the same way about it as well.
He doesn’t deserve to come and take what is yours. Where has he been all those years, yet he wants to come and take control?
The issue is that the director has asked the great council not to move against him. My hands are tied, and I can’t stop him, so that is why I need your help, your help to stop him.” The president said.
“What can I do? Silva is strong, there is no way I can stand against him. I did it twice and lost twice, and he wasn’t even taking me seriously.
No matter how much I want him gone, I don’t have the strength to do that.” Oliver said.
“Hmm, let me tell you a bit about Silva and his brother. I looked into him and got to know the person Mike. Silva came into their lives and took away Mike’s sister.
The attention and love she was to give Mike were shifted to Silva.
Mike strived to fix this, toiling away with all that he had, trying to get his sister back to himself. But the imposter Silva didn’t let him.
This drove Mike to the brink, and word was that he almost turned into an abomination. Then Silva went ahead and saved him.
After saving him, Mike now sees Silva as a benefactor and no longer strives for his first goal.
Now, this may look like a normal cheesy family story of forgiveness and such. But I can tell you that it was a plot from Silva.
He knew that if he pushed Mike, his biggest enemy at the time, to the brink of death, and then saved him, Mike would come to see him as a gracious hero, who despite being his enemy, decided to save him.
And with that plan, he took total control of that family. Mike was the last line of defense, and Silva tore it down.
Get the latest from m-vl-emp _yr.
He will do the same to you.” The president said and leaned back, using his hands to hold his head up a bit.
“How do you mean, what will he do?” Oliver asked.
“Oh, that is simple. You will hate him, and hate him, and hate him. And that will cause you to lose focus on being the heir, and your sister will ascend.
You will become miserable and want to go rogue or kill yourself, or even kill Silva. But then he will come with a solution for you, an unexpected yet extremely tasty solution.
He may come and say something like, ‘She is your sister, if you asked, she would give you the position.’
And she will, because she and Silva would have made the plot together as a team, and she will let you become the heir, but not without signing several contracts.
And you will sign, because you are at your lowest, and they have offered you redemption at the price of some little conditions.
That’s what you will think, little conditions, though they aren’t little at all, but you will be unable to see them.
And after you sign your soul away, you become the Duke in name, but you will never really have real control. You will be their puppet, and they will control you.
At this point, Silva has won. He has manipulated you into becoming his puppet and shield. Whatever shit happens will be put on you, and you will be their scapegoat.
This is the reality that may befall you if Silva’s plans fall into place for you.” The president finished.
Oliver was petrified and shocked. He was scared of what the president had said because all these were his worst nightmares.
He had to make up his mind now and do exactly what the president said. That may be his only way out of such a dark future.
