The villain's side of the novel



Actually, Noelle's perspective about Fray changed a lot after what happened last night, as he saved her and Lionar's kingdom and he easily got her and the kingdom out of the situation that she thought was desperate and impossible to find a solution to, and now his confident look and his cold voice make Noelle feel a strangely nice feeling whenever she thinks about it. but ...

"Your Majesty, I also think that Fray is a very dangerous person and we should stop his development as soon as we can. Besides, seeing the power of spirits that the Parada family members have, I actually believe that it is really worth the risk if we can obtain the legendary weapon." Noelle answered in a serious voice.

"Sigh, that's disappointing," said Queen Fozya in a low voice before slowly getting up from her throne and saying in a serious voice, "Send an invitation letter to the head of the Prada family asking him to attend a dinner to thank him for his help, and tell the Lionar big businesses to restore their transactions with the Iskar city, our goal is to revive our collaborative relationships with the Parada family."

After hearing. The Queen's announcement Noelle and everyone else present was surprised by the Queen's incomprehensible decision, but they did not dare to object to her words. Thus, everyone answered, "Alright, Your Majesty."

*****

Desperate, useless, incapable, these are all words that have covered Luke's mind since last night non-stop. In fact, Luke had never felt such a helpless feeling in his life before. 

If Fray hadn't been at the party, Luke couldn't even imagine what would have happened. Fray, whom Luke always saw as a weak opponent to himself, and Fray, who was always evil, wrong saved the situation while Luke couldn't even save himself. 

Until this moment, the image of Aslan in the hands of Ferritt who was about to kill her, remains between Fray's eyes, just how did Luke, whom everyone admired as a strong and capable hero, allow his woman to be in that state?

(I was too arrogant, dammit, to let this happen...) Luke thought with a blank expression as he looked at his drink that was on a simple wooden table.

"Luke, what do you think?" Suddenly interrupting Luke's thinking. Aslan, who was sitting next to Lisa across from Luke and Leo at the table, said in a serious voice 

Lisa, Loe, Aslan, and even Luke suffered a lot of injuries because of the strong explosion waves that Fray and Ferritt caused yesterday, so now they were all in very bad states covered with many bandages but they still have a lot of incomplete business so they didn't allow their self to rest 

"Ah! What?" Luke said in a surprised voice 

"We were saying that we'd better not get involved in what happened yesterday anymore, and focus on our main goal for which we came here," said Aslan.

"What do you think, Lisa?" Luke asked, looking at Lisa 

"The plan that Ferritt managed to implement yesterday is more complicated than it seems, the North iron Castle can't back up such a strong plan, it must be there someone more powerful behind all of this, and I think we should keep the Shield union out of this mess for now," said Lisa.

"Alright, I agree too. Let's leave it up to the Royal family for now," Luke replied calmly 

"So shall we go see Fray?" Loe suddenly asked 

"Yeah, let's go before he disappears again," Luke said, getting up from his chair 

"Are we going now?" Lisa asked.

"Yes, let's go now," said Luke 

Thus, after deciding what to do, Luke Aslan Lisa, and Leo got up from their seats, and after paying their bill, they left the restaurant they were sitting in and headed towards the Parada mansion, which was located in the center of the Morial city.

The restaurant in which Luke and the others were, was not far from the Parada mansion, so it did not take long before they arrived in front of a huge, luxurious iron gate, in front of it stood two knights wearing light armor.

"Who are you? What do you want?" the guards asked in a serious voice as they looked at Luke's group 

"We're members of the Shield union and we want to meet the head of the Prada family," Luke said in a voice

"Do you have an appointment or something?" the guard asked 

"No, as a matter of fact, we don't have any prior appointments, but the topic we want to discuss with Mr. Fray is very important. Would you please come in and tell him we're here?" Luke said in a calm voice.

"Alright, please wait here," said one of the guards, before retreating inside the palace 

Thus, Luke Aslan, Leo, and Lisa accompanied by the remaining guard stayed at the gate, waiting for the guard, who, fortunately, did not take long to return with good news.

"You may enter," the guards said, opening the way for the group to enter 

After hearing the guard's words, the group entered the palace through the huge gate and continued their way through the existing long corridor until they reached the inner mansion door, where a middle-aged woman dressed as a maid was standing.

"Welcome to the Parada mansion, please follow me," the middle-aged maid said in a calm voice before turning around and entering the palace.

Shortly after the group followed the maid inside the mansion, they found themselves sitting inside a luxurious guests reception room waiting for Fray to come, as the maid told them that Fray is currently busy and will be here soon, but in fact they had to wait for about an hour before Fray appeared.

" What do you want ?" Fray asked in an emotionless voice after he sat down on one of the living room couches across from the group 

"Hey Fray, Thanks for meeting us without previous notice. Are you okay after yesterday's fight?" Luke asked in a calm voice, trying to create a peaceful atmosphere

"Yes, I'm fine. What do you want?" Fray asked again in an impatient voice 

"Oh, well Fray, we first want to thank you for saving us last night. If there is anything we can do to thank you, please say it ." Lisa said in a sincere voice.

"Okay, I'll think about it. Is that all?" Fray replied again 

"..." Seeing Fray's cold and uncooperative behavior, the group slowly sighed inwardly as they looked at each other before deciding to just enter directly into the matter without wasting any time.

"Master Prada, we are sure that you already know that but the dungeon in your area has become a four-star dungeon and we can't risk letting such a dangerous dungeon explode. We want you to give us permission to clean it before it's too late," said Luke in a sincere voice as he looked at Fray's expressionless face
