A Destained Young Master Villain

Zen bided his time until nightfall, anticipating the slumber of the guards and maids, thereby ensuring the presence of only a select few guards on patrol.

Even though the guards rotate shifts, the level of security during the night tends to be considerably less.

The Raverdieu family is at the top of the social hierarchy and the most mysterious family on the entire planet of Pontiac. Therefore, it would be highly unthinkable for anyone to trespass upon his villa.

There have been no previous occurrences of any incidents, so the guards maintained a relaxed demeanor, while diligently carrying out their responsibilities.

Zen brought a sword and put it behind his back. He also brought emergency items he needed, such as potions that he could use to heal injuries quickly and recover my mana once it was drained. It was all stored in my dimensional storage ring.

What Zen didn't know was that his sister Fiona came back to his villa after having dinner with his Father and Mother.

While Zen was about to open the door to go on his way, the door swung open of its own accord, unveiling an exquisite, dainty, and incredibly charming silhouette. The person in question was indeed his step-sister, Fiona.

Fiona gazed at him with a smile on her face. "Hey Zen, I came back because I wanted to—"

Just as she was about to finish her words, she saw me with all the stuff Zen was carrying. A bag, a sword, and a dimensional storage ring, and she could faintly smell the odor of medicine lingering around the room.

"Wha whatt…Where are you going!?" Fiona asked with a serious expression.

Zen couldn't come up with a suitable reason to explain. With all the stuff he was carrying, it was pretty clear that it seemed like he was about to go into battle or something.

He innocently remarked, accompanied by an ambiguous smile and a guilty expression like a burglar caught in the act, "Uhmm, taking a walk?"

"A walk? And is that a Tier B sword you're carrying, the very one bestowed upon you by our father!?" Fiona expressed her concern.

The sword Zen was carrying is called Ashbringer. A lightning sword that fits his affinity. It was given to him by his father on his ninth birthday. It was a sword classified under the Tier B rank.

Sword Rankings :

Tier SSS - A weapon that could cut a planet in half and destroy it.

Tier SS - Capable of destroying a continent.

Tier S - Capable of destroying a country.

Tier A - Capable of destroying a city

Tier B - Capable of destroying a town

Tier C - It can destroy a house which is at least a thousand square feet.

Tier D - Capable of at least killing a demonic beast.

Tier E - This weapons is use by those that just entered the Elemntary level of swordsmanship.

Tier F - It is the lowest tier of swords it is usually use only for practices and such.

Tier SSS swords are the properties of the progenitors of each family. They would not easily reveal it, as it would bring destruction.

For various reasons, the progenitors do not easily reveal themselves, as they are preoccupied with traversing the galaxy, inhabiting alternate planets, or slumbering within the confines of their domains.

Regarding swords that are stronger than Tier SSS, they are conspicuously absent and can be deemed enigmatic artifacts. However, it is widely rumored across the entire Pontiac planet that the Raverdieu family possesses one.

Back to Fiona and Zen.

Zen responded to her by saying, "Fiona, please don't mind all this. Continue with what you were about to say."

"Zen, what do you mean, don't mind?! Are you running home because of me or something?"

"I know you always hated me for entering your family, that's why you framed me and did a lot of stuff to make your parents hate me, but.. I'm willing to leave.. if-if that's what you want," Fiona said, tears dripping at the corner of her eyes.

To be honest, Fiona always felt guilty about it. Despite the fact that Randell and her father were brothers in arms. She always felt guilty, which is why she always ignored Zen's childish tantrums, no matter how excessive they may be.

Zen was shocked by his sister's misunderstanding that she thought he was running from home.

'Why would I do that when I can use my family's power, wealth, and influence to smooth my path to becoming the strongest Magic Swordsman.'Updated from nov𝒆lbIn.(c)om

However, this presented a favorable occasion for him to further their relationship and progress it further.

He moved closer to her, about a foot away, and raised his hands, gently wiping the tears out of the corner of her eyes.

Zen then showed a reassuring smile before enveloping her in a firm embrace, then told her, "Fiona, you are thinking too much, I have never disliked nor harbored any ill intent towards you.

"If I'm going to be honest, that was just my rebellious phase. I hope you didn't mind those childish actions of mine."

Fiona then burst into tears, causing Zen's shirt to be drenched. She was relieved after hearing what Zen said. Although she always acted mature and cold for her age, there's no changing the fact that she was still a ten-year-old child.

With the fact that she is enduring so many hardships despite the fact that she's still ten. She is bottling up a lot of emotions in her heart.

Zen could use this to his advantage and use this chance to comfort her with words.

Fiona then asked while sobbing, "Th-Then why are yo-you running away from ho-home?!"

Zen chuckled and responded, "I'm not running away, Fiona."

"Why are you carrying all this stuff with you then? Don't tell me you are going somewhere to fight with someone?" Fiona asked seriously.

With a teasing expression, he told her, "Hmm, I could tell you, but make sure not to tell our parents."

Fiona smiled happily upon hearing the words 'our parents' coming out of Zen's mouth. But she turned serious after, then said, "Why?" while staring straight at Zen's handsome face.

"Promise me that you won't tell our parents," Zen requested.

Fiona responded firmly, saying, "Ok, pinky promise!" Zen also raised his pinky and crossed his with hers.

"Actually, I'll be going to the Twilight Forest to hone my skills, and maybe I'll also gain some things there."

Fiona was taken aback upon hearing him mention the Twilight Forest and his intention to go there. She, of course, has heard about the place.
