"I will be a Villain in this life."

39. Arguments

The next day Zhan woke up pretty early, it was a pleasant morning and he quickly got dressed up before leaving his room.

The mansion was quiet and peaceful, today was the day of a new beginning it was for Simon as the duke of the Akkarian empire.

When Zhan went to the dining room for breakfast and Simon was already there, the servants served them food.

"You seem a little tense brother," Zhan asked.

"It's nothing like that you are overthinking," Simon said as he ate his breakfast.

Zhan stared at him for a few seconds before diving into his own food, Simon never hides anything from Zhan, never, so maybe whatever is bothering him he will tell him sooner or later.

Zhan quickly finished his food and went to the dining room where he came face to face with the butler.

In a few minutes Simon also finished his food and went the other way, he received the news that prince Yubo had come to meet him.

"What brings you here Prince?"

"I just wanted to check on you, I mean Sean is my close friend and you are also someone I can trust, So I just wanted to see if you are okay?"

"I am fine prince you don't have to worry about that."

"And how is Sean?"

"Well...he is changing..."

"Why are you here Mr. Roy?" Zhan asked, "A few days ago didn't want to leave?"

The butler spoke, it was true that he wanted to quit a few days ago but now that the duchess was dead and the duke was gone, he thought that maybe he can gain control over the households once again after all these two kids might need his help.

"I want to serve you, my lord."

"really? you do?" Zhan asked with a smile, and the butler nodded.

In the meantime, the knight Elijah also came to him, "Come, come Sir Elijah what can I do for you?"

Elijah who was still Grieving Irene's death had become rude to other people he had spent a lot of time with duke lately as well and somewhat agreed with duke that Irene changed because of these two, kids, Simon and Zhan that's why he was bitter towards them,

Zhan knew that Elijah was looking at him with slight anger, Zhan was very familiar with his gaze so he asked, "Sir, Elijah would you like to be loyal to me?"

Elijah clenched his fists, "I have only been loyal to only one master in my life and that will be Miss Irene I can serve no one else, I wish you to let me stay here and live with her memories."

Zhan laughed, he laughed harder, "Oh god, you are very funny sir Elijah. you weren't able to protect her and now you want to live here as furniture huh?"

Elijah didn't say anything and Zhan added, "No problem I will fulfill your wish, raise your hands forward"

Elijah was confused at first but did as he was told, Zhan then raised his sword and in one swift move cut of Elijah's hands which made him yell as he fell on the ground,

"Since you want to live here like a useless human, let me make you truly useless, and you want to live with my mother huh?" Zhan laughed harder and Elijah yelled in pain while Then butler shivered, "Let me make it easier for you...GUARDS" 

Two guards then came to Zhan and Zhan gave them an order, " Sir Elijah wants to serve my mother till the end so do one thing, take him and dug a grave for him in front of his eyes then put him in that graver and leave hungry rats in that coffin before burying him alive," 

Zhan then looked at the pale Elijah who was close to begging for mercy, before turning to the butler, "Abd as for Sir Dylan, Take him as well, and make him watch and listen before throwing him in front of hungry dogs..." 

Just like he had done, with his brother these two will die a horrible death.

Dylan grabbed Zhan's leg and begged, "HAVE MERCY MY LORD HAVE MERCY, PLEASE!!! WE BED YOU, MY LORD!! WHAT WRONG HAVE I DONE TO YOU? WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME?"

In his last life Zhan had asked this question to a lot of people many many times, why were they so cold to him, why did they hate? what was his fault and there was only one answer he got and that was...

Zhan held Butler's shoulder and spoke, "I don't like you, Dylan, it's as simple as that...I hate you, I detest you." Zhan then straightened his back and said, "TAKE THEM!!"

The guards took Dylan and Elijah away from there as Zhan watched with a smile, two people who had treated him badly in his last life are finally getting their retribution and the fact that they don't know what they are suffering from makes it even better and excruciating for them.

But Zhan didn't see Simon and Yibo were watching everything with a grave expression, just who was thing person ordering such brutal methods to kill the weak servants and that too with a smile as if he was enjoying this.

"Zhan!!" Simon called out to him, "What the hell are you doing have you gone mad how can you order something so brutal?"

"They came to me brother and they brought it upon themselves!!"

Simon frowned, "Just tell me one thing how can an old knight and weak old man do anything to a well-trianed man like you?!! they brought it upon themselves? did they actually came to you and said to be punished this way? and what is even being punished for!!"

Simon was really angry and he wanted answers even Yibo was there as well but he didn't think that it was appropriate for him to say anything.

Zhan sighed, "You don't understand brother because you don't..."

"Don't give me that excuse I am done with that...whatever they had done it has been ten years and they have tortured enough all these years don't you think that?"

Now Zhan was mad as well, "No I don' think that they deserve worse they deserve hell, they should never find happiness I hope they never find any redemption and not just them there are many people I would like to see suffer because that's the sole purpose I came here for."

Simion was fuming as well, "So you are just going to keep on killing people, without telling me anything? without even asking my advice, so now I mean nothing to you?

You are murdering people and making schemes without telling anyone anything do you really think that they will tolerate this!!"

Zhan clenched his fist, he is doing this for his brother why doesn't he understands if this keeps on then Zhan will have no choice but to control Simon and he doesn't want that, he just hopes that it never comes to that.

"You know what brother I don't wish to talk to you, go and cold off and since have you started caring for others?"

Simin caught his arm and spoke, "I don't care about others they can die in any way for all I care but I care for you Zhan, I don't like how brutal you are becoming this isn't you."

Zhan clenched his jaws," as if you know me."

Zhan then yanked his hand away and walked out of there, leaving behind Simon and Yibo.
