Steal The Male Lead

3.3

"Are we good now?" With Victor's words, he dispersed his pheromones, as if he had never done so in the first place. "Then I'm glad, let me begin myself."

Victor stepped away from Lucius, situating himself as he looked at his fellow soldiers, the ones who he were to train.

"I know that among you alphas, there are also betas mixed in. I do not and will never treat any of you differently from one another unless you disobey my orders. I may be a prince, but I also have seen my fair share of wars, enough to know about combats. I know that as I have just recently return, there are some of you who are speculating my real ability. I won't say that I am the strongest, but I have been personally trained by General Luther." Victor smiled so brightly, it was hard to tell that just moments ago, he was close to beating someone up.

"General Luther?!"

"That General! I thought he retired already?"

"To be personally trained by him was my dream. He was the alpha who led the W nation to victory with only two thousand soldiers under his command."

Mark raised his eyes up to Victor when he heard the name that came out of his mouth. Upon his cold exteriors, his eyes seemed to glimmer under the light. His eyes looked from Victor to the crowd of soldiers before it returned back to looking at Victor, the man who stood so tall without a hint of worry or fear. Mark couldn't smell anything from Victor, and he didn't like it one bit. For the first time, he felt like he was inferior. Something that he had never felt after becoming a general.

It wasn't that he was arrogant about his abilities or that he looked down upon his comrades, it was just that, growing up in a big family did something to you. Growing with five siblings, Mark had to make sure he stood out among his peers, else, he would've been treated worse. As the youngest, it felt like you were given this burden to achieve as much or even more than what your older siblings did.

So looking at Victor who could smile so brightly, even Mark couldn't help but admire him. It wasn't hard to tell that a bright light seemed to glow from Victor, and...it was interesting.

"For the next few weeks, I will be overseeing your training. I will leave it to your leaders to decide what they want you to work on, but I will add my piece of advice every now and then. I'll do my best to teach you about everything I know and in return, I hope that you all can learn to think of me as one of your own. I have been living abroad for so long, it will be hard to get use to the role of a prince, so there will be no need for formality. If there are any questions, I will try my best to answer." Victor finished his short speech with a lot of good points. He first tried to gain their trust while also getting closer to them, all the while, talking about the role he would be partaking.

Lucius couldn't help but look at Victor, as if he was looking at a different man. He had heard about his father speaking about Victor's combat skills, but he never did know just how powerful he was. Lucius almost couldn't believe that his stupid brother was so powerful. Well, at least he had something to rival that stupidity of his...

The room was silent after Victor's sentence before someone finally spoke.

"My name is Raven Blaxe, son of the Prime Minister. Prince Victor, if you don't mind me asking, do you have any opinion about getting omegas involved in the army?" Raven's voice was clear, not with strength behind it, but more of slyness.

This was definitely his first encounter with the main character and Victor could say with one hundred percent that he hated him. It was the first meeting between them and Raven was already trying to dig a hole for him to get buried in. But being the great actor that he was, Victor merely replied as if he was already prepared for the question.
