They chose a barn randomly to aviod any suspicion, their plan was going so far good, not just well but excellent when it came to acting. Now, Ravindra had to learn dark magic's pyro or more like dark fire, which is the minimum requirement to use illusions. Even though in their plan square-faced man had to get a job as a cook which would be really interesting as they could poison the Vicsount any time they liked that didn't go as planned.
The barn was mid-size, almost 3000 sq. ft. and with a lot of helpers, they were going to practice dark magic on props for Ravindra to get the better, the basic illusion that was their requirement would only take a month at max, again the problem was the teacher and the student, since the dark magic was banned throughout the world and Ravindra who despite being a good student had to pay a lot of attention to Rose or act like that.
"I don't get one thing… Like I have…anemo as the elemental magic and dark magic as my ethereal magic…Then, how in the hell…I can use Pyro. Is that even possible" Ravindra looked at the three of them, the other guy was sent to deliver something while the square-faced guy had his magic active to make sure no one was eavesdropping on them, "I never used fire…so far at least or some ritual is needed…?"
The square-faced guy shrugged and Mathew looked at the coordinator, "You already know the answer…" The coordinator got up from his chair and said while walking, "When you used that thing…Black rendering… That was a copy of black magic… And when you use that thing…Uh… What did you call that black blade that comes out of your spine…"
"Ah… Do you mean Black Steel Slash… Hmm… So I can copy Pyro with dark magic? Is that what you mean?"
"Yeah, it seems like… Setward Syrus told me a little about the dark magic capabilities, it could copy other magic and this is the reason it is so famous… I could copy Pyro but that would not be so strong… We have to use…other things that you have in your jacket…Hmm… That's one thing but how is that Vicount reacting, is he in our palm?"
"Not totally but that is his weakness, he doesn't wanna hear about his daughter, he is scared…but not enough" Mathew gave his report, "Also the butler could make a few discussions it seems… yesterday he stood up for Rose… When the viscount couldn't muster the courage… That butler can be a difficult as well…"
"That girl…Rose, what's going on with her… Is she going to be alright? I mean she is not going to die right?" The coordinator was responsible for transferring any information outside the viscount's territory. All the messages had to go through him, "We need her alive… If she dies… Our plan fails…"
"Can't promise but the news about her curse sounds legitimate and the other news about her condition was not reliable…" Mathew frowned, he was uncertain about the condition of Rose, he only knew that the curse was a personality disorder or something like that, "I only know a little about curses and when black rendering goes through her, some kind of a personality complex comes out…She is not okay- That is much I can say… No matter what we do…curing her sounds out of hand for now…I am not an expert on curses and as far as her staying alive sounds dangerous as well…Patients with personality disorder could kill themselves…Even though we asked that someone stay in her room every second, it is still uncertain that she is out of danger."
With a sigh coordinator said, "You still have to do something to keep her alive… if she dies all of this is just…over"
"That's the thing for Mathew but how's the prodigy doctor doing… Is he cooking or getting cooked?" The square-faced guy asked Mathew, "Uh… I mean…How's his acting doing…"
"Better than yours…" Ravindra replied faster than the speed of light.
"Come on…Yeah…He is doing great, better than we expected…" Mathew followed right after, "He could get viscount and his butler in his palm…The problem here is Rose…"
"Hmm…Maybe we can do something if we find an expert on curses and ask him" The coordinator suggested.
"I don't think we will be able to find someone, nobody cures curses… It's not so simple." Mathew pointed out the problem, this was also the reason why Viscount couldn't find any curses expert and ended up asking the broker for help to find another doctor who deals with brain-related issues which he told in the Glass palace and Steward Syrus made a plan to expose and dispose of Viscount Samul.
"You said something about one of the attendees of Rose who is like a foster mother of her…What did she tell you"
"She? eh… She is helpful and she will help more… She will give us more and more information about the past and that butler will also… They were desperate and we made sure that they gave us all the information we needed…The look in their eyes told us they regret not telling us so far and now I am planning to give them a shock and make their consciousness more and more guilty…Just wait a few days…"
"Do you think framing so many secrets would help you reach the ultimate trust you guys were talking about?" The square-faced guy raised the question.
"I think it will… Not on me but what about the prodigy doctor…The viscount thinks he is arrogant and naive…" Mathew gave his answer, "Once we reach that stage the viscount will make sure that Ravindra keeps all of his secrets…we are making the viscount trust us and in turn, he would do the same…"
"Shut up…Someone's coming this way…Three people" The square-faced guy calmly and swiftly said. "It seems the viscount and his butler are headed here... Looks like it's time to act..."
