"We're having your big birthday party at the Fall Palace today," Teressa said with a charming smile from the passger seat as Matheo drove through the streets of the area.
Theos nodded to confirm his understanding, but his gaze was fixed on the window, through which images passed like blurred blobs.
'The Fall Zone, eh,' Theos thought as he saw the thriving "city" that was called Zones.
Each family had a territory of the kingdom, and the Dukes were the ones who had the largest parts. Unlike normal dukes, the Fall were giv a large portion of the kingdom.
Roughly, each duke in each kingdom has four dukes, each with 5% of the kingdom's territory, but the Fall family is differt, as they get 40% of the tire kingdom's territory.
There are so cases where ev small families, such as barons or counts, get a separate territory or zone. They have to be within a ducal territory, but these are rare families.
'And as a large family, we also have the best area in terms of security in all of Zeifer' Theos thought with a small smile of pride at the sight of all those people happily strolling the streets. 'Should I let them fall from grace to get more points?'
What began as a proud smile ded in a sinister grin, but he shook his head to dispel those thoughts and focused on the evts that would take place later in his party.
'I already know a bit about how to master this path; at least I know how to protect my wings and activate my path wh necessary' he reminded himself, having only tak a few minutes to understand his Path.
In the Zeifer world, there were multiple paths, from paths such as weapons, traits, physical, spirits, skills, and bloodline… An infinite variety of paths. 'But I received a Path as a physicist. The protagonist, Alan, will also awak a similar Path just before tering the Academy' Rembering the whole plot, Theos felt a little dizzy.
The Path that Alan would awak would not be easy; ev in the novel, Theos' and Alan's Paths are at the sa level; both are of the highest rank. 'But Alan's path is much more destructive…. The Dragon's Way, together with his other way, will beco a "Dual Way'.
Just thinking about how lucky the protagonist was to wake up an extra path out of nowhere made him frown.
Without any awaking orb, he just woke up one day and that was it, by sheer luck. In the novel, such an evt was great, but now that he's a villain? It just gave him a headache.
'Fortunately… I'll be able to steal his future main weapon' Theos smiled with a hint of mystery. 'Maybe it would be better not to co to my birthday after all' he concluded.
In fact, getting a new Path ruined a lot of his plans. He had planned to attd the banquet and introduce himself to everyone, but now that a more powerful Path would take longer to gain power, Theos decided to steal the main weapon from the protagonist.
"I never thought I'd be the one to call…" Theos sighed, pulling his cell phone out of his new pants pocket. Since almost all of his clothes were soaked in blood, he had to change his clothes completely.
Fortunately, the phone was undamaged, so Theos turned it on and decided to go straight to the calling application. Searching, he found the na of the person he wanted to call. "Luna."
*DING*
But just before he called Luna, soone else ca on the phone. "There are coincidces, ar't there?" he smiled "Coincidces of life," Theos smiled wh he saw who was calling him: Luna.
'Getting the guards to give you my contact number wasn't such a bad idea after all' he said before answering the call. Theos gathered negative ergy from his body to create a small barrier to cover him so that no sound could escape and his parts could not hear his conversation.
"Hello?" a lodious voice ca from the other side, making the black-haired man smile.
"Hello, little minion, what are you calling for?"
"Who am I supposed to tell?" she rolled her eyes as she replied to Theos' teasing.
"Ha, nothing, nothing, you're just a little minion, nothing more," he chuckled.
She didn't respond to Theos' taunts, but she could still feel her face lighting up with embarrassmt and anger.
"Anyway, I'm calling because your own guards gave your phone number, which you st to my house yourself. Luckily no one saw it because that would have ant trouble," she sighed in relief, making Theos laugh.
"Besides, it's your birthday today, isn't it?" she asked, pouting at Theos' joking remarks.
"Yes, but forget it, I'm not going to my birthday. Instead, co with sowhere special and who knows, maybe I'll get you a prest."
"Really?" her eyes wided in surprise. 'Wasn't that a date?' she thought as she rembered what had happed and got ev more excited, not knowing why, not knowing what those symptoms of falling in love were… ….
"Yes, wait for just outside the barrier of my palace. I'll be leaving in the eving, a :00," he confird the schedule as he thought of all the things he had to think of and do before finally leaving.
"Wait, wait, but… At least tell what we're going to do," she panicked, rembering that Theos could hang up at any momt.
"Rember that sect that infiltrated the banquet a week ago?" he asked seriously.
"Yes, I rember, I could never forget it ev if fifty years had passed" she replied, this ti frowning seriously. The mtion of that sect couldn't be good at all, and she wasn't wrong.
"Easy. You're going to help kill them all, every last one of them. We'll pretd we did it to avge our fall fellow nobles and take the glory," Theos declared with his widest grin, like a psychopath at the thought of how much negative mana he'll take.
"But-" she couldn't ev finish her words wh she heard Theos' next words, which made her blush deeply.
"I love you, see you soon."
Hearing Theos' words, Luna touched her hot cheeks with her hands without noticing that Theos had ded the call.
Instead, Theos removed the barrier with a big smile. 'I'm finally going to be able to have so fun after so long… With the adraline of battle and Alice's body at ho' Theos thought, and his smile changed to that of a predator waiting for its prey.
