Twisted.

REGAL ACADEMY was situated at the Capital of Country M .

A place filled with Dragons and Serpents .

Emel already had his development plan drawn out for his first visit to Capital .

The Academy had always been mysterious. Emel already knew . No one , be it the powerful families or rich youngsters dared to offend the authorities of Academy.

Now that he thinks about it , He had always been curious , Which power was behind the Academy . Not that he cares that much unless it conflicts with his interests .

No matter how much he tries , He cannot overcome his disadvantage of age and need of Guardian on the surface.

He can do a lot of things in the dark but at the end of the day , He is still a child in front of outsiders.

Now going to Academy was going to have a room to breathe .

Although no one ever restricted his actions , He still needed to be conscious about the watchful eyes. It may seem calm on the surface , But he knows the two men at home spent no effort to curb any and all negative rumors about his birth and his upbringing.

He never met anyone from Solans or anyone from Blezvins.

Emel is already 14 years old and he would have his coming -of - age ceremony at his 15th birthday.

It could be said to be merely a social debut in the world of Schemers and Profiteers.

He was planning to start building his empire soon.

'Patience . I will have a lot of time to spare on those stupid people I thought as 'enemies' .

Now that I think about it , It really seems ...Ignorance is a bliss~~ .

The people I thought were my enemies weren't even pawns, Hell ! They weren't even aware of the 'Game' .

pfftt....I can now crush them without effort.

But the Ancient families , It does not seems as simple as Father described it to be.

Me , Pawn ! . I do not think someone would put an enemy child to grow up just to take him as pawn .

The ruthless Character I can guess by the power they possess , Why would anyone would be benevolent enough to let thier enemy grow until he can bite thier throat back .

I guess even Father was unaware of the situation behind the curtains , I do not even know how large and how wide thier influence spread , much less thier estimate of strength , not only on personnel level but authoritative too.

I still have a long way to go ~~ '

' I cannot investigate things rashly , Hope I get some clues in the Capital.'

"Hummm~~~humm~~" humming a crude tune to himself , Emel walked up to his Family .

Mason and Ray were waiting for him at front gate . After half an hour , The family reached the airport .

After he told them the truth , The family looked fine but he does not know if it is a good thing or bad.

Mason still treated him as son and Raymond still treated him as brother.

He feels it is ' convinient' to live with a family so he does not wish them to be his weakness.

'Tsk. It would be troublesome if someone coming after me picked them as hostage instead '

That's why he gave them 'simple' meditation Arts to grow stronger , It depends how much effort they put into .

Both men would surely smack his head if they knew thier Youngest's thought process.

Emel would surely trip on a flat surface if he knows that the seemingly ' simple ' arts he provided his family with can make those Ancient families grow a second head altogether.

Emel might have lived a second life , Have higher IQ than his peers, Lived his life again. But one thing he forgot to put into equation was that he never truly knew how the world worked.

He lived his childhood under his 'mother's' influence and his youth pampered and protected.

When he was left away , he knew nothing how to live his life .

He might have taken a measure or two to save himself , But he was never a clever child when it came to his understanding of how a human mind works.

The things he might find 'common sense' may shock the other's while he may get shocked by other people's ' common sense'.

Money was never a issue for him for 17 years of his life. But when Evya took away his only possessions and Mason told him that He is not his son. He was told to leave.

Now that he thinks , Mason does not seem the oblivious type.

He might have known the amount left by Amelia was enough to sustain his life for a decade if he is not living life of a prodigal rich second generation ancestor as they mock .

But he can be sure that it was Evya' s personal move on him to make his life hard .

He never knew how relationships work. Being cold face but a prodigy put him in limelight wherever he went. Some people always wanted to get closer to him , others curry favor him , Although Blezvins ruled only one city , It was influencial enough to get him away with even an Arson .

He never knew and would never know , The people got closer to him might be because he was a Blezvin. But it was much more because of his purity.

Finding a child with no taint of the darkness of this world , It can be regarded as a miracle in this circle where dark side of human nature prevailed.

Those in the darkness always long for the light . When they find one , They wish to keep it for themselves. But if you can only see and could not touch , It can already evoke thier desire to conquer.

People who are used to getting what they want with the flick of their wrists will have aroused a twisted desire of possession for the only light they see.

When Darkness engulfs a tiny light constricting it like a serpent , It is bound to be tainted and turn dark too.

Emel was like that light too. And considering his childish beautiful face of the past , It was already amazing if he was kept away from pestering confessions.

The man who claimed to love him was like one of those people too who wanted nothing but possess him. He got closer to him and instilled the idea of love to him . But when he got what he wanted , He threw it away . Afterall , For that man , Fun is only in the chase and not in goal.

Emel was still innocent in that aspect . He knew a trick or two , he could hide his emotions due to his cold face , But he may not be able to escape if someone truly schemed against him .

He was cruel not by nature , but due to the pain he recieved for so long . Emel might not be able to survive against the truly ruthless people.

Emel was not comoletely unaware of the fact , but he could not change what he is in his bones overnight.

During his assassination missions , Each time he killed someone , he was slowly losing his empathy. He was slowly getting used to this life and death phenomenon where merely money can buy your life.

This already settled his mind to the idea of having wealth is equivalent to control.

Thus leading him to make money enough to rival his family now.

But the Change that was occurring in his psyche was turning him to a direction where he might become twisted beyond reverse.

The lack of empathy was nothing compared to his disregard to human life . This change Could have scared himself too if he was able to analyse himself . Oh well! He could care less anymore.
