A few minutes later, a little girl in a white dress with yellow eyes and silver hair walked into the room. Her light brown skin a nice contrast to her dress, her face so cute, looking like that of a doll crafted to perfection. Though her eyes seemed to lack life, making her seem closer to a doll. She seemed to be around 12 years of age.
Looking at her, Max couldn't help but gulp down some saliva in awe. And immediately a feeling of wanting to protect her and shield her from the evils of the world filled his heart.
On the other hand, a crazy and obsessed look appeared on the king's face, but he quickly suppressed it.
"This is Silvia Crowley, I was saving her for my self in a few years but I think she more suited to be with a person like you'. Phar introduced her with a bitter look now visible in his eyes as he didn't want to give her up. But other than her he knew he had nothing else that would move this young monster.
"So I seem lustful to you?. But you know what, I don't have time to argue with you so I'll just take her and leave". Max said with a serious look in his eyes, while walking towards Silvia.
{Leave her then!!}. Phar shouted in his mind.
His lip twitched looking at this shameless kid, who clearly liked Silvia but was acting like he was forced to take her.
"Thank you for accepting this servant's gift young prince". Phar said with an ugly smile on his face.
Seeing their weird, Silvia's blank eyes were tinged with a bit of confusion. She knew that he was a king, basically the highest level of authority one can have on this continent. So him sucking up to a young like he was doing was really confusing.
"Whatever, now get out of the room, I want to talk to her in private" Max said, basically shooing him off like a dog.
Phar almost exploded in anger, but remembering that it would definitely lead to him getting slapped to death, he suppressed his anger. And saw with an uglier than before smile, he bowed and left the room.
Seeing this, the blank look in Silvia's eye was completely overwhelmed with confusion. But she remained quiet.
"Hello little girl, I'm Max Demigo, do you want to go live with me from now on?". After Phar left, closing the door behind him. Max isolated the room again before talking to Silvia with what he thought to be a harmless smile on his face. Though if anyone saw it, they'd immediately think of an uncle trying to bait a little girl into a dark alley.
"We look around the same age". Silvia's cute but cold little voice sounded out.
"Cough, right, I was just joking with you. Now, about my question, if you want to stay, I won't force you". Max was embarrassed after forgetting that he was now technically 13 years old. But he quickly steered the conversation back on track.
"I will do anything you want if you kill him for me". Silvia said with the same tone. Though one could easily infer that she didn't have much hope in him doing it. Phar had presented her to some people before after all. And he killed them all before they could leave the room when they let their guard down after seeing her. Though Max's case seemed a bit too excessive from his usual act.
"Why do you want him dead, isn't he your relative?". Max asked, he really thought they were related somehow. Though he could at least say Phar wasn't her father, he was quite ugly to say the least after all, while she, well...her future was bright.
"That bastard isn't a relative of mine". For the first time, emotions were shown on her face. Extreme anger and hatred was shown on her cute little face as her little hands formed tight fists.
"Oh, do tell...and if your reason for wanting him dead is good enough, I don't mind even erasing this whole kingdom for you". Max said with a smile on her face.
His innocent smile and words didn't match, which kind of scared Silvia a bit. But then she thought how can a kid her age do anything like that, which calmed her down.
"Whatever, I'll tell you. A year ago, my family who were Counts in this kingdom were invited to a party at the castle. At the party the king saw me and claimed to have fallen in love at first site, so immediately asked my parents for my hand. They like any good parents, refused. The king seemed to have accepted it at that time."
"But after the party when we were going back home. Our carriage was attacked by bandits and everyone but me was killed. They even r@ped my mother in front of my father before killing them both. I was drugged and fell unconscious, only to wake up at the castle. The king said that some of his men rescued me and since I have no relatives, he would take care of me."
"At first I believed him but then I noticed a neck scar on his army commander which is the same as the one from the bandit who r@ped my mother. Also my father was a Level 6 yet he was powerless against the attackers. Meaning they were at least Level 7. Why would Level 7s need to be bandits? especially ones that robe lower level?. From then I knew that he, that bastard was behind everything. He even admitted it when I confronted him. He said on my 16th birthday he'll turn me into his woman"
Silvia wasn't even sure why she was telling him. But the more she spoke the angerier she got. At the end of it, tears were flowing down her face.
(A/N : Argh, really don't like writing from a girl's perspective)
Hearing her story, even Max couldn't help but get angry. His body started to crackle with lightning due to the anger. He closed his eyes for a bit to finally get his emotions under control.
"So even in this world the so called "leaders" are trash huh. At least this time I can do something about it. Well little girl, I will fulfil your wish to destroy this kingdom". Max said resolutely while looking at Silvia as he wiped the tears on her face.
"We're still the same age damn it!. And when did I say I want to destroy the whole kingdom!?. Just him and his accomplices is enough.". Even Silvia's neutral state was broken by this idiot who seemed to want to use her as a reason to destroy the whole kingdom. So she screamed out while swatting away his hand that was now pinching her cheek after wiping away the tears.
"Cough, understood....now". Max was embarrassed for overreacting and maybe unable to stop himself from pinching her cute cheek, though he doesn't regret that part.
As soon as he said "now", a confused Phar appeared in the room.
"Huh, nooo!!!". Phar made a confused sound before he noticed Max's hand crackling with lightning coming towards him, which made him unable to hold back a scream.
Before he could do anything else, the hand was already grabbing his face and lightning sparked in the room. Silvia couldn't help but close her eye due to the light. When she opened them, she was shocked beyond belief.
All that was left of Phar were ashes on the floor.
"Now who's next?". Max looked at her again and said with a smile on his face.
She couldn't help but take a step back. But then remembering how he did it for her, she moved forward again.
"His army commander, he should be at the army barracks". She said with a resolute expression on her face.
Seeing how she didn't cower away...at least not for too long. Max's smile widened and seemed more "real" in Silvia's perspective.
"Good, let's go see him off then". With that statement from Max, they were gone from the room.
While a storm was brewing in the castle due to the missing king who suddenly disappeared while standing outside his study beside his guards.
