Rebirth: The Villainous Young Master Doesn't Want to Follow the Script

********

LOCATION: SOMEWHERE WITHIN THE BORDERS OF STELLARUS EMPIRE

*****ARCANUM DE FLEUR – H.Q.*****

*WHOOOSH!

A sudden gust of wind suddenly barged into her office through her window and because of that, tons of piled documents on her table are now on the floor, swirling around as the winds came by but even if that were the case then, the woman didn't pay its attention to the mess that's surrounds her.

Rheina took a deep breath and closed her eyes while clenching her chest when she felt the sudden constricted feeling and groaned painfully as she panted heavily.

'It seems like… the first step has finally come…'

She calmed herself down for a moment and then looked outside from the window while the wind still breezed over to her face as the mess within her office still keeps on piling up because of the strong wind that's keep on going.

*CLICK!

At that moment, Rheina sighed once again and then snapped her fingers as the window closed on its own and now, the documents that were swirling around are now lying on the ground since the wind stopped creating this kind of mess.

'If someone saw the state of my office right now, they would think that a storm just suddenly flooded in my place because of this mess.'

However, that's not what's important right now.

"EDEN! CLAIRE!"

Without a second thought, two familiar individuals appeared within their master's summoned and both of them half-kneeled in front of her.

"Yes, master! You called for us?"

Rheina looked at her two trusted subordinates and then turned around as she spoke.

"Are there any news from the Central Region of Stellarus Empire?"

The woman ordered these two to investigate the happenings within the Central Region of Stellarus Empire after that chaotic incident that happened at the Chevalier household and the news about the abduction of the Marquis himself.

"Reporting to master! The news regarding about the abduction of Marquis Altron Chevalier are being suppressed by the three factions however, I believe this wouldn't last longer if others noticed the absence of the Patriarch of the Chevaliers."

The one who spoke up first is none other than Eden and she reported everything that they had gathered for the passed few days of their observations and taking notes about this incident.

After hearing Eden's report and her reasoning, Rheina nodded as she also thought about that as well.

Granted that they suppressed any information regarding the abduction of the Marquis but if words got out and had reached outside of the Empire, this will cause a disturbance and more precisely, the other kingdoms would take advantage of this situation.

However, Rheina knew not to underestimate the Chevaliers, even though with the absence of their Patriarch, there will be someone who would temporarily take over his place for the meantime and from what Rheina knew about that household, they were different from the other traditional noble households.

"Also, not only that but His Majesty, Emperor Leirano took an action and ordered the Shadow Knights to find the whereabouts of the missing Marquis in secrecy."

After Eden finished her report, the other person, Claire, also conveyed her reports as well and upon hearing what Claire reported back on her, she frowns for a moment.

'I never would have expected for the Emperor to take an action, and for him to even summoned the Shadow Knights, a division only responsible for protecting the Emperor and they only answered to the Emperor's command and no one else.'

No, that's not it.

« ….. "Do you want to know a little bit of secret? This information is highly confidential, and you won't be able to get your hands in this information since the only ones who knew this are the descendants of both Chevalier household and the Stellarus royal family." ... »

Rheina thought once more about those statement coming from Eclipse and since she also knew the hidden secrets between these two households, she didn't mind about the Emperor's orders and Rheina believed that the Shadow Knights would do their best to locate the missing Marquis.

Even at the cost of their own lives. After all, the Shadow Knights lives only for their master alone and no one else.

"Because of the absence of the Marquis, Lady Marchioness Felicity, the Marquis' little sister, took up the mantle temporarily with the support of her second elder brother, Count Harrison Chevalier and Count Stephan Callene La Fontaine from the Neutral Faction."

Rheina snapped from her thoughts when she heard another report coming from Eden after Claire conveyed hers.

The woman frowned when she heard another familiar name aside from Count Harrison Chevalier.

"Count Stephan Callene La Fontaine? Are you talking about the grandson of the current Headmaster of Lumen Academy, the former Count EDMOND LA FONTAINE?"

Claire nodded and also added; "Not only that, but there are also rumors circulating within the inner circle of noble society about Lady Marchioness Felicity's and Count Stephan La Fontaine's possible marriage union with one another."

After hearing that statement, Rheina raised an eyebrow at her and said; "Inter-marriages are norm within the Stellarus Empire's noble society since they valued their ancestor's bloodline powers and they didn't want their bloodline powers to be diluted from marrying outside of their household."

This time, Eden spoke; "We are not exactly sure about that marriage union between them and after all, it's just a rumor since both Chevaliers and La Fontaines are from the Neutral Factions and both households are one of the pioneer households of this Empire."

Claire added; "And besides, the Count La Fontaine household's bloodline powers are [CIMMERIAN], and rumored to be one of the most dangerous bloodline powers that exist within the history."

Rheina nodded as she spoke; "Well, that's true though. The Count La Fontaine household's bloodline power [CIMMERIAN] had a similar affinity from the demons and that's why it was often mistaken to be demon's power but in fact, it's just a dark magic that's opposite to the [ELYSIAN] bloodline powers that has holy light magic."

"Also, if the marriage union between these two households turned out to be true and not just a rumor, this would also cause a great turmoil within the noble society since these two are notably the strongest noble households that would become one due to marriage alliance."

Eden explained her side in a reasonable manner but Rheina, on the other hand, shook off her head and said; "Even if that were turned out to be true, but I believe that His Majesty, the Emperor wouldn't grant that marriage between those two… on the surface maybe. He would just likely to opposed it just to appease the other nobles from the other factions."
