The Villain's Story

After I was done with my business, I had some regrets left but decided to dismiss them.

The Capitol was quiet, but not that quiet. The Twilight guild building was being swarmed by reporters, who believed I was there. And all the properties owned by us in the Capitol shared the same fate. Swarms of people would always be outside everywhere.

Quite literally, I would be trapped inside the Capitol if I was not able to teleport.

'I wonder why this is still ongoing...'

I thought, roaming the streets with my body fully covered. The Capitol was still in chaos.

I just cleared the damn tower, it has been days, please, get over it.

I can't even eat food! This is hell!

'Sigh...'

I sighed, as I traversed the streets to find anything to eat. I teleported inside the Twilight guild building once but the aftermath was simply horrendous. The people outside caught a glimpse of me and rushed inside, ignoring everything. The guards couldn't kill them, or severely injure them so...

It was troublesome.

Richard hid me in his office for a while. Taking the opportunity to finally enjoy some food in a while. I wolfed down whatever was brought to me. Whilst I was in the tower, All I ate were the nutritional solutions I found there, along with the occasional meat of monsters from the floors. But that meat was nasty.

Really nasty.

However, My happiness was short lived as the people paraded the entire building, causing great unrest to Twilight's people. They could keep them at bay for a while, but when they continueud rioting for days, it was inevitable some would get tired.

Richard advised me to teleport to somewhere else. I first thought of going back into shield, in my room there but was unable to do so.

Apparently, it seems like Sir Oliver has set up a protection enchantment around the entire campus, and it's interfering with my spatial magic.

It is annoying, but it can't be helped. Shield is the greatest academy humanity has, and it is essential for cultivating new talents. Since most of the staff is here, leaving it protected like that is a good idea.

But then...

'Where else?'

I thought, muttering to myself. I have the suite I used back then.

'No...that won't work...'

They definitely are there, They know I can teleport and so will be camping every place I own, or am known to stay at.

'Sigh...'

How...frightening. A spatial mage that has the literal ability to go anywhere on this Earth is trapped. I cannot go to the still shadow of a city that is Aror. I'm afraid my grandparents are already busy due to this.

Although I can choose to go anywhere, Wherever I have been, the problem lies in that what will I do there?

I have my cards and money with me, but the moment I use it, it will be traced. I have...nowhere to go except the Jade Palace.

"..."

Cursing inwardly, I looked at m communicator which had already been disabled.

I feared turning it on, who knows how many calls and messages I would receive.

"I wonder how everyone else is doing..."

I really do, What is Sabrinw doing? Probably reading or studying, maybe even practicing magic?

'The rest as well...'

I was immersed in thought, but my focus was still on Sabrina. She is the only one I know best after all...to my knowledge.

Sadly, as I was too busy drowning in whatever conclusion or speculation I could derive, a small child bumped into me.

She tried to grab into whatever she could hold to avoid falling. But the thing she grabbed was the cloak I was wearing. It was not a magic item, neither was it enchanted so it undid itself easily.

"Shit."

Without thinking properly, I opened a portal beneath my feet, escaping the crowd which had already begun to record.

"Holy shit that was spatial magic!"

"Was that really Alan Peccator?"

"Damn!"

*****

I did not know where I had teleported, nor did I know why...but there was a distinctive aura around this place.

It seemed...familiar.

A sweet, nice, and mellow scent permeated the room, it was dark but the scent made it seem alive. Whoever was the owner was a great person indeed.

It smelled like flowers, like... lavender. The soothing aroma calmed me down, like it was natural.

The place, although was still dark, I was able to make something out. It was a large, luxurious room filled with everything you could imagine a rich person having.

I was about to use mana to enhance my eyes and let me see clearly... But the owner of this humble and fragrant abode turned the lights on.

"..."

"..."

We both stared at each other in silence, wild conclusions coming to both our minds. Mine mostly being ways to explain myself. And the other perhaps thinking of ways to kill me, or throw me out.

"Ten seconds, explain."

Sabrina said, dressed in a nightgown and obviously having been woken up abruptly,nevertheless she was still beautiful.

Without a second of delay, I explained.

"I accidently teleported here because everywhere I know I can go is not safe and this was an accident done in the spur of the moment."ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ ɴo(v)elꜰɪre.ɴet

I hope she believes it. It is nothing but the truth! I hope...

Thankfully, my prayers were answered as I looked above and found her to be sighing.

It was a hearty sigh. She rubbed her tired eyes and sat down on her bed, looking at me.

I turned around, facing the wall.

"I shall stand here until you wake up."

"Stop being absurd and take a seat.'

I really would do it, you know? Standing is not a difficult task. But I followed her instructions and sat down on a sofa in the large room.

"Hungry?"

She asked, and I felt as if there was an angel Infront of me.
