Steal The Male Lead

3.14

Victor sat next to Will. It had been three days since getting acquainted with Will, and Victor had to say, it was really hard to get close to the little guy. At most, Victor could get Will to say a few words to him. He had also been helping Nile with gaining power inside the castle little by little, although Mark did most of the work.

He had also been getting information about Lucius and he had to give it up for him. Lucius was much calmer in the situation than what he would've expected, especially considering that he was just kidnapped. But, Victor also knew that Ray wasn't going to hurt Lucius, he had no reason to. And with Ray trying to save Lucius from whatever situation it was, that at least meant that it involved the Blaxe family.

Although Victor always knew that that family was fishy, he still wouldn't expect them to do something so crazy. But because they hadn't done any big moves yet, Victor wasn't able to get the evidence needed to actually finalize his attack. Well, it was better since Allen already knew most of what was going on, but his situation was like Victor.

As Victor sat beside Will, whom was silently putting a rather complex puzzle together, Will looked at him.

Will's eyes were dull and lifeless, they also looked like the eyes you would see on someone who had gone through many battles and wars, that was what made Victor feel small and feel a sense of familiarity to him. Although Will wasn't old, his eyes told that he was mentally older than what his small body looked like.

"Your Highness?" Victor asked, a grin on his face and his expression beaming. A face like this would make almost any child drop their wary and coldness, but Will wasn't tricked by such actions like this. "Is there something you need help with?"

Will looked at Victor for a while before he opened up his mouth. "You aren't a citizen of Y Nation. You're also not a soldier." His words were direct, as if he was sure about his answer, like he had known for a while now.

Victor didn't waver though, what kind of person would he be to suddenly get scared. He was already use to these situations. He merely kept smiling as he replied, "Your Highness, I really am though."

Will looked at Victor rather coldly and Victor was suddenly reminded about Mark. Those cold eyes and expressionless face was very much like Mark's. Then, he opened his mouth and said once more, "You aren't." As Will said this, he returned back to putting his puzzle together, putting the last piece together, completing the 1,000 piece puzzle. He had finished it in a matter of 20 minutes.

Once more, Victor merely smiled. The matter about his identity getting exposed didn't matter, because he was sure that Mark had won Nile's trust and that Will knew he wasn't going to do anything but help them. "Your Highness, how did you figure out?" Victor didn't care if he was exposing himself because this was the final step to gaining Will's trust.

With that question, Will looked at Victor. Pointing to Victor's identity card, he said, "Your card looks just like every other guard in the castle, but, upon closer inspection, the tiny dot on Y Nation's flag is missing. Although it is one of the many dots and easy to look over, your attitude is also not like that of a guard's. A guard would not linger around for too long, and they would not ask questions about the nation and its castle. Your acting was good, and your emotions were sincere, but those points made you suspicious."

Victor was impressed with Will's analyzation because it was true. His smile only got wider, "Then do you believe that my goal is to help you and your brother?" Victor's eyes brightened as he asked this.

Will looked out the window, pondering his decisions and choices, how it would affect the future. Finally, he turned around to say, "Your purpose is to help my brother and I. Although it was suspicious, your real actions have no harm behind them. You are also sincere, else my brother would not have easily trusted and confided with your partner. Judging from your actions, your ranking is rather high because your partner shows a strong sense of protection to you."
