After taking out the main guards and the special attacker, which was the fairy, the entire manor turned quiet. Only Silva's heavy footsteps resounded in the long hallway.
He could tell that he was being watched, and they were strong. He had made so research into this family before he ca and understood that they were a Viscount family—not too high, but also not low.
In the Morning Elvish Empire, they might not have been at the top of the charts, but they had their influence and were well-respected.
They also had well-trained elves under them, and those were definitely the ones watching Silva now.
They didn't want to attack carelessly after seeing what Silva did to all the guards. This was the first ti the manor was being attacked with such power, and it was only one person—or so they thought.
"Co out and fight , or I will have all your heads for myself," Silva said.
And as if in response to what he said, a magical circle lit up under him. Silva leaped out of it, but vines shot out of the circle and latched onto him. They pulled him and slamd him to the ground.
The vines wrapped around his entire body and rendered him immobile. After he was tied down to the ground, the elves that had been hiding leaped out with their swords, ready to attack.
"Hahahaha, you all really thought those vines would be enough to hold ? Pathetic," Silva's voice ca from the vines. Then the vines were consud with abyssal flas.
The elves imdiately stopped and moved away from the flas. Silva stood up, covered in flas from head to toe. The flas slowly died, revealing Silva.
"I thought I would face a bigger challenge when it ca to the elves, but I was overestimating the resources that a Viscount can have," Silva said and then vanished.
When he reappeared, blood sprayed in the air, and bodies of the elves fell to the ground.
Silva continued and walked into the main room of the house. Inside the room, Drake and Lily had already sohow entered and taken control of the issue.
The Viscount was there on the ground with his two sons.
"What about Rose? Where is she?" Silva asked.
"Well, she is unconscious. For so reason, she has been that way, and life support has been used to keep her alive.
Gabriel and Amber are in the other room with her," Drake said.
Silva frowned when he heard this. He grabbed the Viscount by the hair and lifted his face up.
"You bloody bastard, what did you do to her? Why is she like that?" Silva asked.
"I will never spill the secrets of—" Bam! Silva smashed the head of the Viscount into the ground with so much force it cracked the floor.
His nose cracked, and blood began pouring like a stream, coloring the ground.
"I'll ask you this again. Tell what you did to her, or I will make sure that you see hell," Silva said. He lifted the man up with one hand and threw him into a wall.
Silva then picked up the two sons. They were very young, not more than eighteen. They were scared shitless and couldn't even move.
Silva kneeled them up and faced their father. "If you had these two, why did you take Rose? Tell now, or you'll know what the definition of pain is," Silva said.
But the Viscount was still reluctant, so Silva imdiately snapped the arm of one of the sons. The boy scread like a pig about to die. He fell to the floor and writhed like a worm.
His father didn't expect Silva to take such actions. He got up and attacked Silva. He was an evolved elf with very good earth magic.
He placed his hand on the ground and caused earth spikes to shoot out, but Silva lifted his other son and placed him in front of him like a shield.
The Viscount imdiately stopped the attack, as he didn't want to impale his son. He fell to his knees, giving up.
Silva dropped the boy on the ground and then kicked his head aside. Then he walked to the Viscount.
"You are powerless. All that control, all that power that you possessed—they are all gone, vanished completely. You are nothing but an ant before ," Silva said and grabbed him by the neck.
He lifted the Viscount off the ground and looked him in the eye. "Right now, I need you to spill all the secrets—all the secrets that are in you."
Silva used intimidation, and imdiately it worked because the mind of the Viscount was already shattered.
"I'll tell you. I'll tell you what you want to know. Rose is the daughter of one of the most skilled mages in the family.
But the mage was a wild card and never listened, and so he got a human pregnant. Soon after, he died, without an heir or anyone to inherit his knowledge.
But his daughter—she inherited the blood. She had it running through her veins. She was surely the one that would learn his teachings and master them with her exceptional talent for magic.
But she is a half-elf. No way can she inherit the family, so we decided that we would find her. When we did, we would force-breed her to create the perfect next generation.
And when we found her, we took her, and we tried to start the process. But for many years, it had been fail after fail.
Sothing in her body always fought against her insemination, and when we managed to get her pregnant, that sa thing would move and kill the baby.
For years now, it has been a tug of war. Well, until a few weeks back, when one of the extended family mbers who was well-versed in the issue decided that it would be smart to make her fall unconscious and completely turn off her mind.
But when we did that, we discovered that her mana blocked out all passages, even the place that allows insemination.
She was completely sealed off—far worse than what we had expected. But the issues didn't stop there because we couldn't wake her up.
She was alive, but no matter what we did, we could no longer bring her back. She was stuck in a coma state.
All we could do was provide life support to keep her alive longer as we searched for a way to wake her up.
That is the whole story—everything that we did and why she is in that state. I promise, I only did it because I wanted to help my family. I didn't like it.
I am not so evil person. I wouldn't just do sothing so evil like that, but I had no choice. I'm sure you have had to make hard decisions. You should understand, right?" the Viscount asked.
"Yes, I understand. I very much do. But I understand it fully, and you understand it partially. I understand that when you make a difficult decision, you should also take the consequences that follow it.
And your decisions have finally caught up with you. But don't fear yet; there might be so salvation for you," Silva said and took out the pendant.
"This pendant belongs to the fairy that you used to attack . There is an image inside—that of a little fairy.
So I'm certain that the reason why this fairy would work for you had sothing to do with the fairy in this image.
Your life depends on the truth, so tell the complete truth, and your life will be spared. Who is the little girl in this pendant?"
When the Viscount saw the pendant and heard who it was from, he began sweating unusually. He opened and closed his mouth several tis, but no words ca out. Your journey continues at empire
Then he finally spoke. "The small fairy got lost a long ti ago, and I found her and took her in as a slave. After a while, her sister discovered where she was and tried to co for her, but I held the little fairy hostage and started using the fairy to carry out tasks, in the hopes that she would see her sister.
But that was a lie because not long after the fairy ca, I had killed her sister. Elf wings sell for a stupidly high price, and the little elf was useless to as she was," the Viscount finished speaking.
Silva's grip tightened around the collar of the Viscount. He drew a deep breath and then spoke.
"I have seen evil people, and I have no issues with them. But you—you are not ant to be alive. You are nothing but a madman," Silva said.
Silva took his sword and imdiately stabbed it into the head of one of the sons, killing him instantly. Then he slashed off the head of the second one.
"The sins of the father will be paid by the sons," Silva said as he looked at the Viscount, who was losing his mind.
