Your Not So Ordinary Villain



They took their time exploring the temple and the guide became even more talkative every time they showed an expression of awe. He became eager that Cygnus could literally see the man's eyes becoming brighter and brighter. He contained his laugh at how comical he saw the guide was.

"You must be extraordinary people for you to be able to join Sir Aberleign," the guide started. He was actually surprised when he heard that the 'Eternal Hero' was actually traveling with companions.

The guide was in a bit of doubt when he entered the manor that was given to the hero. He followed the manor's butler and walked through the tiled lobby of the manor. The lobby was sparsely decorated but one could immediately tell that all of the materials used to build the place were of high-quality stones. The marble used for the stair's railing and steps were shiny and clear.

The butler guided him to one of the manor's drawing rooms and saw three other people who were with the hero. One of them was particularly eye-catching because of the elegant aura he had. His posture as he drank tea was marvelous and the energy from his mana was bright and warm.

He could also tell that the man's clothes were of the finest fabric. The guide was confident with his observation because he had been dealing with such fabrics ever since he joined the 'Justice of Light'. To the point that with just one look he could already tell if a person was from a rich family or not. Even the woman who was sitting beside him was impeccable.

Her pure white dress accentuated her body but not in a sensual way. It was fitted on her upper body and just dropped down after that. It was a nice contrast to her tanned skin and softly curled black hair. The other man who was standing behind the two was watching them with concentration. He gave off the vibe of springing into action once he noticed that any of the two would need something.

The guide was right. Once the cupcake on the other man's plate was finished, he immediately walked to the empty space beside the couch where the man was and swiftly replaced his plate of dessert with a plate of cookies. This confirmed the guide's assumption that they must be from a wealthy family.

When the time came that he would act as their guide, he decided to just explain some things and observe their reactions. Once he had a grasp of how their facial expression changes to things, he could move on to his next move. Now was that time, he was finally able to ask them a question which will start a conversation.

"Extraordinary? Well, you can say so." Nina placed her hands behind her back and gave the guide a smile. Her face brightened and in the guide's eyes, she was sparkling.

"Is this your first time traveling to a different kingdom?" The guide slightly shook his head and got himself back on the game.

"How did you know?" Nina made her mouth in an 'o' shape and made her eyes wide with her hands suddenly slightly covering her mouth.

The guide was taken aback and coughed a few times before he could bring himself to answer the woman. "Ahem, that is because you are easily amazed by the things you are seeing in this place." He grinned.

Nina narrowed her eyes for a moment before she returned to her innocent act. "Yes, it is our first time and I'm actually glad that I am able to come!" She even softly laughed after saying those words.

The guide was feeling satisfied because of Nina's answer. His eyes then caught Cygnus who had wandered away while they were talking. The guide noticed that he had been staring at the statue of the holy knight for a while now.

He walked up to Cygnus and stood beside him. "That is the holy knight, Sir Onyx Gertrude. He is the leader of the 'Justice of Light'. I've only caught a glimpse of him but the feeling of his holy power is no joke. You are lucky because you will be meeting him tomorrow."

Cygnus remained silent after that information and only stared at the statue. His mind was not really on the person who was standing beside him. Cygnus was busy thinking of ways on how to make the said holy knight suffer. It would really be satisfying for him to see the person on his knees begging for his life.

"It's all thanks to Sir Aberleign," Nina answered. She knew that the master's mind was not with them at the moment and she did not want the guide to be thinking ill of them. "The young master is not ignoring you. It's just that he gets like that when he sees something that fascinates him. Let him be for a while." Nina winked.

As a result, they took a few steps back and let Cygnus admire as much as he wanted. On the other hand, the guide took this chance to engage the woman in some small talks. Nina was not stupid to notice that the man was actually fishing for information. He had been doing it ever since they started that silly tour.

"May I know what your relationship is to the 'Eternal Hero'?" The guide finally asked. It was a question with an answer that was worth quite a sum of money.

"Eternal Hero?" Nina tilted her head to the side with her brows a bit furrowed. "Are you perhaps referring to Sir Aberleign?"

The guide looked at the butler and at the woman a few times before he finally settled at Nina. "You mean you didn't know?" He was a bit unsure but based on their faces it was a fact.

"The young master only met Sir Aberleign from a banquet in Lunaira. We didn't know of his status. All we know is that he was a consultant to our kingdom's hero association." Nina looked up for a bit while thinking of the things she heard about the man.

"It's not that simple. He is a pretty well-known hero because of his strength and because of how aloof he is. He will appear and disappear without anyone noticing. Apparently, he is also an immortal according to the witnesses thus the name 'Eternal Hero'." The guide gladly explained for them and he looked so proud while telling them of Aberleign's achievements.

"Are there other people who are like him?" The topic brought out Cygnus from his concentration. He walked towards them and looked the guide in the eye.

The pressure coming from Cygnus made the guide tremble. He gasped for breath and was able to do so after Cygnus relaxed. The guide took several deep breaths before his breathing returned to normal.

"I apologize," Cygnus frowned. He lost control for a moment after he heard that Aberleign actually became a hero. "I was just excited after I heard that Sir Aberleign is actually a hero."

But now that he calmed down a bit, he thought that it was not a surprise. If one of them became the Magus Maximus then the others wouldn't be far away. He also remembered the file that Ignius gave him and recalled the information under each name. They were indeed in positions that gave them worldwide recognition.

The guide looked at the young man and brushed off what happened because he really looked sorry. His head was bowed and his hands were fidgeting. He sighed and lifted his hand to pat Cygnus's shoulders to assure him that he was not angry.

"It's alright and please understand why I asked that question earlier. I am just surprised that the hero traveled with companions when he usually doesn't do that." The guide was laughing it off as he gently coaxed Cygnus.

"Oh, it is because I am under Sir Aberleign's protection." Cygnus immediately changed his disposition and became cheerful. There was a grin on his face and even his cheeks were a little bit tainted red.
