"I will be a Villain in this life."

32. Resolve

"I would like to stay alone for a while, Sean," Yibo said as he had his back towards Sean, he didn't want to see anyone, even this simple sentence seemed to have been said with difficulty.

Zhan didn't say anything and quietly left the room and soon as the door closed Yibo collapsed on the floor, tears flew from his eyes non-stop.

He picked up a pillow and pressed it against his face before screaming his lungs out, he screamed till his lungs and chest ached.

He cried till his face and eyes became red.

"Your highness, I will always be with you."

"Your highness I will always support you."

"your highness I will serve your children as well"

"Your highness!!"

Yibo cried harder he banged his fist against the floor and his head against the floor, his head started to blee but he didn't stop, he suddenly felt something on the floor which stopped his head from being hit on the floor.

Yibo had his eyes closed and didn't bother to open them he just cried and cried and felt himself being engulfed in a hug.

Yibo just couldn't stop crying he just lost himself in grief he couldn't take it anymore everything was too much, he wished to just end himself and his miserable life then and there.

Zhan's own tears spilled but he didn't let himself be weak, even in this life he wasn't able to protect Yibo from the misery.

After seeing Yibo like this today Zhan wonders that in his last life also was Yibo this miserable?

Zhan clenched his fist and tightened his hug if only ten years ago Yibo and his mother had come to his birthday party he would have saved him and his mother, if only.

But it seemed like not everything is in his hand no one can completely change anyone's fate.

Yibo soon fell asleep and Zhan gently picked him and laid him on the bed, before covering him with a duvet and walking out, when he reached out he saw Simon and Marquis standing outside with grim expressions don't theirs faces.

"How is he, Zhan?" Simon asked.

Zhan sighed, "Miserable."

The other two became quiet, for some time before Zhehan spoke, "I went to check that woman, His highness's nanny, it seemed that she was tortured she had various marks on his body and was severely whipped as well.

It was all planned."

Simon clenched his fist, the people here are so, so filthy how can they resort to such disgusting tricks, taking an innocent life for what? to fill someone with fear? for revenge? or for pleasure.

The more Simon thought the more repulsed he felt.

"I should leave now," Zhehan said," take care of all of you."

"I'll show you out," Simon said and walked away with Zhehan.

"You seem pretty disturbed Sir Simon."

"I am just thinking do all the people here are like this? evil?"

Zhehan smiled, "There is no such thing as good and evil sir Simon, everyone is just doing what will benefit them they are fulfilling their own greed for some, what happened today is evil in our eyes but it can be a good thing in the eyes of the one who pulled the strings."

Simon nodded, "When you said that my household will target...and we will be attacked...is this how..."

Zhehan smiled, "You are a smart man Sir Simon, you should know that in this world there are no such things as pure goodness, you need evil to defeat evil.
