Chereads / The Silver Saga / Chapter 13 - The Dark Rule

Chapter 13 - The Dark Rule

As the silence settled over the crumbled castle, The Castle reassembled as a calm and collected figure emerged from the shadows. Lord Ravenswood, Silver's father, walked outside of gate with a tranquil expression, his eyes surveying the scene before him.

Captain Calantha, Silver, and Ruby exchanged a look, their emotions still raw from the battle.

Lord Ravenswood approached the group, his movements deliberate and unhurried. "Well, well, well," he said, his voice low and even. "Looks like we've got a bit of a mess on our hands."

Captain Calantha's hand instinctively went to her sword hilt, her eyes narrowing at Lord Ravenswood's calm demeanor. "You're...still alive.." She said with cold voice.

Lord Ravenswood looked around "Oh, Who said that?" and then laid eyes down on Captain Calantha " Oh dear what haooened to you why are you kicking on the ground?" "Shut Up." Caotain Calantha said annoyingkyn. Lord Ravenswood chuckled, a small, wry smile playing on his lips."When was I dead Again? From My collection... Never not even once."

Silver's eyes widened as he took a step For wars. "You did died once."

Lord Ravenswood's gaze fell on his son, his expression softening ever so slightly. "Ah, Silver. My boy. I'm so proud of you. And what do tou mean I died once. I don't remember."

"It's in this another world similar to ours but in different time. The one who kills you is Eira."

"That stupid girl? In another world. Even if that's the true the only way she could do it is by stabbing in back."

"Like You."

Lord Revenswood Smiled. "Yes, like me."

"From the way You sound it means it happened in the past."

"Yes."

"It's now that count my son, If She faced me head on with a thousnads of army and just one of me it would be unfair for since it's me I Would have crush her and this time she died because of Me."

"Yes, she did."

"And the One who killed her is you."

Silver looked at his father.

"Oh, don't tell me it was Because I manupulated you."

"You rule has killed many people."

"Yes like you."

"Elana is dead."

"Was she alive?"

"Yes."

"And the one who killed her was also you, again don't tell me I manupulated you. You were charmed by a spell of her. As a father I reversed it and turned that charm into hatred it worked out or so I thought she had to die twice to remove that spell. Some spell. And somehow she died twice."

"Jenkins is also dead."

"Sad... Let's move on."

"Just Sad."

"You want me ti elaborate, alright I will elaborate Jenskin was just a prisoner his family was murdered and raped I convinced him I took revenge fir him and saved him. The person who did it is even difficult to kill for me since he is me. He had it's uses I usee him he stayed loyal thinking House Silver saved his family which is A Fact so he given his use, So Sad That we couldn't squeezed every use out of him But 's let's move on We will find another prisoner or servant."

Silver gazed at his father.

Captain Calantha felt a chill run down her spine as she realized that Lord Ravenswood was not what he seemed. She had been so focused on Eira's evil plans that she had neglected to consider the true nature of Lord Ravenswood.

"You're...you're behind this," she accused, her voice rising in anger.

"Again when I was not, I am not behind this. I made all of this. This kingdom is named after me."

Mistress Lyra said softly.

"No, it's not."

Lord Ravenswood looked at Mistress Lyra.

And Suddenly Mistress Lyra felt a chill.

"Maybe It is, I was not born to study all that."

"Didn't Professor Selena every taught you histoey or geography. You don't know the An me of your own kimgdom."

"I-I-I do."

"What is it then?"

"T-T-The Ravens Kingdom."

"It was made for me to rule you all and I get you all. Do you understand?"

"Y-Y-Yes."

Silver prepared himself to fight.

"Oh my son don't you know you powers are given by me. I can take them when I want them. And even with your all professor and crippled friend lying there with that power you still can't defeat your own Father. But don't worry after me you will be strongest but not yet."

Captain Calantha said, "You are A Villain Of This World."

Lord Ravenswood shrugged.

"I am not a villain of this world. I am the ruker of this world. And As A Ruler I Rule it. And even if you call me a villain gor that then let me explain...I didn't start out as a villain. I was once a noble and just man, but the weight of my responsibilities and the pressure to maintain the balance of power in this world drove me to... extreme measures."

Ruby's eyes were wide with fear as she took a step back from Lord Ravenswood's words. "You're saying that you manipulated everyone and everything to get what you wanted?"

Lord Ravenswood nodded. "Yes. But I assure you, it was all For The Noblest Cause Of All."

"For The Greater Good?" Silver asked with a sadistic way.

Lord Ravenswood replied back to his son's remark, "No, Fes The BEST, Like You my son. The Ravens Kingdom is yours to rule. The World Is For The House Silver and The House Silver Alone. We have crushed everyine and now it's all ours take."

Captain Calantha felt a sense of unease wash over her as she realized that Lord Ravenswood was not just a villain – he was a complex and conflicted individual with motivations that were both noble and twisted.

As the group stood there in stunned silence, Captain Calantha knew that they had to take action. They couldn't let Lord Ravenswood continue to manipulate and control others from behind the scenes.

But for now, they stood frozen in shock, unsure of what lay ahead.

"If you are planning to fight me. Let me show what you are dealing with and 1% of my dark energy and not even the whole strength."

Silver suddenly put front and said.

"Everyone back down stay behind me. Captain Calantha get out of here."

"Yes my son only you could take it with my power at that bit I assure I am not aiming at anyone I ma just realising it."

As Ravenswood said that he realised his Little dark energy as the entire continents started to shake. As The Proffesors were spitting blood and getting wounded. Caotain Calantha was almost close to dying.

"Captain Calantha!"

"Don't worry my son I ma not aiming at her at all and she's safe behind you for a minute."

Professor Lyra," Silver, Let's get out of here."

"No, Take my sister and everyone and transport a long distance away."

"But."

"Right Now!"

"Alright."

Professor Lyra did As Silver Commanded and transported everyone. As Lord Ravenswood stopped unleashing energy.

"Now my son choose which continent you want to rule. This Capital or some other place."

After a While Silver paused and said.

"This One, You go somewhere else."

"You know I kefet the mani houses of other kingdoms alive. They said We should held a tournament where each house fight and whoever wins with each take that house and that house fight with other and shiver wins take that like that take the world without haeming the people."

"I am surprised you agreed."

"Yes but I did say that I don't need to lay this silky game. I and My son are enough to slaughter them all at once by ourselves. I am agreeing to do because it's more fun. And keeping us enterataining. As The Rules there should be Atleast 6 participants so I will go and call outyour grandparents as well. They are also getting bored slaughtering everyone for no reason. Let's give them. It will be held in one month here in your kingdom, my Son. Do you agree."

After a pause Silver repiled.

"I agree."

Ans Just like That The House Silver's Dark Rule Of The Whole World was just begun and all of it happened, began and started In The Kingdom Ravens.
