The Author Is Speechless-Chapter 68: Old Student

6 years later.

The winter wave ended 4 years ago by taking more than thousands of lives. More than hundreds of livestock in farms around the kingdom died and the worst part of the winter was the monster storm of the dark forest.

Due to the freezing winter, all the monsters came out of the forest and nearly destroyed crops and houses. But they were unable to do so because the cold was more intense outside the dark forest. So, they quickly froze to death and became living statues all over the town road.

But, it wasn't the same inside Viktor's mansion. It was warm, cosy and so comfortable that he spent most of his time under his blanket. He was living his life to the fullest.

Since he graduated from his academy with the highest degree, he was appointed as a United peace organization's branch leader by his headmaster's recommendation as promised. But the Vestrain kingdom's king was slacking off to sign the approval letter of the United peace organization because he left like it wasn't necessary. So, Viktor's joining date kept postponing.

But when the king saw the democratic governments were rising to their powers on so many continents and all of them were part of the United peace organization, he realizes that it will be suicide if he opposes the fine proposal. So he had nothing to do but sign the approval letter to join.

Thus, Viktor became a branch leader who literally watches over the military and controls it indirectly.

The king had nothing to lose because he was getting so many requests from other governments to export goods in exchange for so much money.

Just as planned, the new organization's branch office was opened inside the capital city and Viktor was appointed as the branch leader after 2 years of his graduation.

Coincidentally, it was around the time of the story's official beginning. And Viktor was invited to the royal ball to celebrate the prince's birthday after 5 years of his academic period. So, the imperial family was super busy preparing for the huge celebration.

Somewhere inside Viktor's new mansion in the capital city…

"Master, are you sure you want to wear white? The invitation rule strictly said not to wear one colour.", Adonis complained about his coat right after entering his dressing room with a white pair of shoes.

"Oh, don't worry, I will be carrying this silver handkerchief." Viktor smiled at the reflection of Adonis in the mirror.

"Master, for all these years you simply rejected all the invitation letters from the noble families. Even you rejected the king's dinner invitation once. Then why did you choose to attend the birthday celebration of the new crown prince?"

"Because there's someone I want to see." Viktor fixed his long hair with magic and took a small sip of his champagne. But someone was bothering him, so he took a record out of his library and opened it.

"I will take my leave to prepare the carriage. Please rest here for the remaining minutes until your departure, master." Adonis saw he opened a book that came out of the thin air and Viktor's expression changed after reading something. So, he left the room without asking any further about his motives. Because Viktor's face was full of rage.

"Just what kind of sly dog is he!"

I thought that I had changed the settings of a character by acting as a good teacher of an idiot kid. But he decided to murder his whole family. Alberto Edmartin, today we will have a long chat after 7 years.

Viktor took his long coat and left for the birthday banquet to beat one mudhead's brain back to his skull.

The imperial palace's roads were wide, but the crowd that the king invited were wider. The horses were acting weird so the horsemen were unable to control the carriage. The situation was too messed up, so all the guests chose to walk. But Viktor was fully aware of the situation. So, he kept quiet and walked towards the banquet.

I better keep my presence low until 1 am. Because the official beginning of my story is going to start at 8 pm.

The beginning of the novel was like this. The crown prince came back from the academy and the king held a huge birthday banquet to celebrate his graduation. On that very day, the third male lead David Lionheart who's a royal knight decides to take his lover, the female lead Elena Pearlroy, a merchant's daughter to the banquet to fulfil her request.

But her noble status was lower than the other guests. So, she was being bullied by the others.

Her magic was weak inside the banquet hall because of the presence of a holy sword, so she was unable to cast mind-controlling magic. She became surrounded by eyes.

But two people from the upper floor saw the crowd and decided to save the poor girl who was being bullied.

Even though she was unable to cast magic on the crowd, controlling two favourable people wasn't hard for her.

As soon as the crown prince and the young duke entered the centre of the crowd, both of them became her victim. This is how she defended herself from the crowd and she got to know two more powerful people too. The situation turned in her favour in a minute and the three male leads offered their first dance to her.

But to keep a good relationship with her lover, she rejected them and held the third male lead's hand to secure her position.

Even so, she didn't withdraw the magical effect from the other male leads because they seem easy to control and they are more powerful than her current lover. So she intentionally bumped into the crown prince in the garden at midnight to have a secret dance and then the second male lead at 1 am in the empty hallway.

She counted herself lucky because she was able to control the mind of a prince who was blessed by the holy power of the high priest.

This is how the first chapter of my book was. A greedy woman who craves power. And to accomplish her goals, she didn't bother to chain 3 males at once. A typical dark reverse harem where the female lead is an evil woman who's ready to devour anyone for more power and wealth.

"Heheh! There she is, a normal-looking girl who doesn't really stand out that much in the Vestrain kingdom where people have peculiar hair colour."

Rather than having dark red or green, her hair and eyes were brown. In the middle of people filled with unique features and beauty, she was the only one who wasn't standing out and that's the only thing that made her stand out. She looked like an ordinary commoner with a luxurious dress wrapped around her body.

Viktor looked down from the upper floor and saw the three male leads walking towards her to save her.

The story is developing exactly as I wrote it. So, I will enjoy my fine champagne and wait until 1 am.

He sat there and watched the whole situation develop. He looked at them as if an act was playing to entertain him. But there was something that caught his attention. A small change of the background setting.

Interesting.

He mumbled and went inside the guest room by following a shadow-like figure.

I'm pretty sure an assassin went inside by using shadow walk magic.

So, he made himself invisible too and went inside the room before they closed the door. But he didn't expect to see the king surrounded by a group of people.

Wow! What a pleasant situation I'm in!

Viktor was surprised because those people were the slave market workers. And the king was buying sex slaves for himself. He was left speechless.

Even so, he stayed there until the deal was over and he left the guest room secretly with the king.

Oh! Look at the time! It's past 1 am. I must go and visit the young duke. Since he'll be saying goodbye to the female lead now. I have a lot of questions to ask him.

The soft light of glowing moons was entering the empty hallway and a blue-headed young man's presence became noticeable as Viktor walked forward. His footsteps began to echo but the blue-haired man didn't turn back to see who was getting closer to him. Instead, he drew his glass sword.

That brat got some nerves to do that to his teacher.

So, Viktor stopped walking and maintained a 20 feet distance from the blue-haired man.

"Who are you?" The man asked.

"Can't you turn back and see it with your own eyes?", Viktor replied.

The blue-haired man looked back and saw a tall man with long silver hair on the verge of touching the floor. His silver eyes were reflecting the moonlight that made him look like a mountain silver wolf who was gazing upon his prey. It was his master who taught him to become the best swordsman on the continent.

"Master?", he questioned.

"Alberto Edmartin. It's good to see you again."

But Viktor's smile wasn't a pleasant one that greets a person. It was full of rage and his eyes were filled with dissatisfaction.

He held his sword firmly instead of putting it back and said, "What are you doing here?"

But he didn't answer his question. The moment he started to move forward to him, Alberto ran towards him by aiming for his neck but unfortunately, Viktor stopped the sword with two fingers.

The blow from his sword full of killing intent didn't even make Viktor's hair move. But the wall beside him vanished into thin air by the shockwave.

"Opps... I almost broke your precious sword."

Alberto was too shocked that he zoned out after hearing a crack on his invincible weapon.
