Chapter 100 - 93: Cristoff Bloodlaviline (1/2)
Cristoff Bloodlaviline.
He didn't always have this name. His former name was Drake Laviline.
He was born as a kind child. He helped around his village, whenever someone needed his help. His mother and father were also kind people, so kind that they would ignore their own son just to help other people.
Like most commoners, his parents couldn't read nor write. But Cristoff was different, he learned to read at a young age, excelled at sword fighting, and at the age of 15, he was as strong as a Noble Knight.
So, as the most talented individual in the village, he went on a journey towards the Imperial Capital. But when he left his village, one of his fellow villagers pissed off the 7th son of the King. That son then massacred his defenseless village using the trained soldiers his father lent him. They justified that his village was filled with heretics who worshipped the demons, and the people bought it.
Cristoff only got the news when he reached the Capital. Unbelievable hatred filled him, going as far as planning to assassinate the 7th prince. But he came to his senses when he saw his family and friends being paraded in the Capital, and how the 7th prince was so smug about it.
He suppressed his hatred and changed his name to Cristoff Bloodlaviline, so that no one can recognize him. No one survived from his village, so he's pretty sure no one will be able to recognize his face. But his name is a different problem.
Using another identity, he registered in the adventurer's guild, climbed his way to Diamond Rank after 2 years to grow stronger. He then became a noble by going to the Knight's Academy, only available to those 17 above. After another 2 years, he finally became a full blown Noble Knight. They called him a prodigy, but the only reason he's doing this is to get revenge against those that slaughtered his village.
Noble Ranks are separated into – Esquire – Knight – Baronet/Baronetess – Baron/Baroness – Viscount/Viscountess – Earl/Countess - Marquess / Marchioness – Duke/Duchess – Prince/Princess – Crown Prince/Crown Princess, and finally, the King and Queen.
After becoming a noble, he finally saw what happens behind the scenes. The Capital may look good and pure on the outside, but underneath of all this façade is the sea of corruption. It was deep and boundless, almost every high-ranking noble were all connected to slavery businesses, drugs, prostitution, human trafficking, and a lot more.
Even the King was connected to all of this, it was nauseating for him to stay here any longer. But he has to fulfill his people's thirst for vengeance, by infiltrating the noble ranks, getting the King to trust him, and finally, when the King has fully let his guard down around him, he'll strike.
But he has a long way to go, if he wants that to happen.
Another 2 years, and he became a Viscount. Some Marchioness took a liking into him, and promised to convince the King to give him the title of Viscount if he did something for her.
To become her play toy.
Even though the Marchioness was 10 years older than him, he still accepted it. If he had to give his body to someone for something like that, then that was too cheap of a price to give
Drugs and other kinds of dangerous substances were injected into him to be the perfect play toy for her. He suffered terribly from the side-effects of those drugs, but he didn't give up. He continued moving forward, to get his revenge.
And only when his revenge is fulfilled, can he finally meet his beloved people.
The Marchioness loved him because of his unbreakable will, and because of those drugs that he took, he looked no older than 21, even after 4 years had passed.
But then, that day came. After all of his planning, strategies on how to take down the royal family, he saw something he thought he'd never see.
The King was being stepped on by somebody, and that somebody just smiled wickedly as he continued to step on the King's head. The King became a frail old man, who couldn't even speak nor move anymore.
And when he saw that, relief finally washed over him. Even though it wasn't him who took down the King, it still felt great just to see the high and mighty King being treated as a slave.
He planned to commit suicide and finally meet his family and friends. His revenge is finished; he doesn't need anymore. Even though the Marchioness did all of that stuff to him, he honestly quite liked it. The Marchioness is a beautiful woman, so being her play toy wasn't really that bad, if you just take out all those drugs and stuff. But he cannot say that he didn't harbor any malice towards her, because he saw what she did to other people. How she treated them, it was like they were nothing but animals.
But he didn't care about them anymore, for his long delayed rest has been delayed enough. He doesn't want hatred to fill him inside as he takes his rest.
But just as he was about to self-decapitate himself using his magic, the boy, the one who was stepping on the head of the King, called him.
And, in a sudden flash, he saw his parents in front of him. They smiled at him and moved their lips slowly, so he can read what they are saying.
”Don't follow us just yet, live your life to the fullest.” They said.
