Villain: The Play of Destiny



"You seem bored," Keith whispered, breaking her out of her trance, and the girl with icy-blue eyes immediately lowered her head.

"Lord Erebus." Kashish did not hesitate as she dropped to her knees, and Keith did not stop her.

"We are in public, you know?" He lightly smiled and asked.

"And yet no one looks your way." She smiled and cleverly replied.

"Keen as ever." He chuckled and then nodded to her. "Stand."

Kashish straightened up and dared to look him in the eyes again, once again losing herself in their depths.

"His eyes are more beautiful than what you see right now." Kiara playfully said, and only then did Kashish realise her presence again.

A blush bloomed on her face and she lowered her head.

"What bores you?" Keith asked, coming to her rescue and saving her the embarrassment.

"There's not much to learn at the University." She honestly replied to him.

"For you." He added.

Kashish was in a very special class, a class filled with future Aura Doctors, and their studies were very different from that of the Mortal humans who were pursuing their Medical Degrees.

"You learned everything they are teaching now years ago." He reminded her, and she could only smile at his words. "Want to see something interesting?"

Both Kashish and Kiara looked up at him curiously and nodded their heads.

"Come." He smiled and then turned around to walk to the other side of the street, where the restaurants and cafes were situated.

He stopped right under a maple tree, leaned against the trunk, and folded his arms over his chest, waiting for something.

The girls were curious but remained silent and stood by his side, looking in the same direction he was looking in, but they could not contain their curiosity for long.

"What are we waiting for?" Kiara asked, and Kashish looked at him as well.

"You see that old man in the grey suit?" He asked, not they both turned to look at the open restaurant in front of them.

There were actually two old men in grey suits, but somehow, their eyes became fixed on the old man who was sitting next to a pretty girl with pigtails.

"He is not feeling well but is keeping his smile because his dear daughter is quite depressed." He informed them.

"She studies at the University and is my junior," Kashish informed him. "Mortal Class."

"Hmm..." He nodded. "The old man will suffer a brain haemorrhage in a few minutes."

"What?" Kashish asked in surprise and then keenly looked at the old man.

She saw the signs, formed a guess, and Keith's next words proved it true.

"He has a brain tumour that is about to rupture."

Keith glanced at the girl and smiled when she stayed in her place and did not rush forward to help the man after hearing his words.

"Don't want to save him?"

"No." She shook her head. "You asked us to watch something interesting happen. Are you going to save him?"

"No." He shook his head. "But someone will." He mysteriously said, and both Kiara and Kashish silently waited to see what was about to happen there.

Just like Keith had said, a few minutes later, right when the girl with pigtails started sobbing and shedding tears, the old man reached for his head but then his body swayed and he fell out of his chair.

The girl was stunned when she watched her father fall, but then her face turned pale and she cried out in alarm.

"Papa!"

She rushed out of her seat and reached her father's side, who was already being helped by a few people, who turned out to be the medical students of the Imperial School of Medicine.

Someone immediately called for the Ambulance, but it was going to take, at least, five minutes to reach the place, and by the time that the old man would reach the hospital, he would be long dead.

"Papa..." The girl kept calling out to her father, but there was no response.

Kashish did not know where the sudden urge to go forward and help the man emerged in her heart, but she stayed in her place, obediently waiting for someone to help the old man out as Keith had said.

And they did not have to wait for long.

"Please step aside." A tall young man, who looked very refined and handsome, suddenly said.

He had been sitting in front of the next restaurant and he had seen everything that unfolded there.

"The patient is in a critical condition..." Someone tried to advise him but turned silent when the young man told them that he was a doctor.

The people curiously watched as the young man began inspecting the state of the old man by touching the points of his body where his vitals existed, and finally, he reached for the brains, and a frown marred his face.

"Doctor..."

"He has suffered a brain haemorrhage. He won't make it to the hospital." He sighed, and the young girl nearly fainted after hearing his words.

"Please..." She begged, already losing all her hope.

Samrath debated if he should really take action or not, but then looked up at the heart-wrenching state of the beautiful young girl and sighed in his heart.

"Please step aside." He lightly said, and a few people did listen to him and stepped aside, but a few medical students stayed their ground.

Kashish narrowed her eyes when she watched a green Aura shroud Samrath's hands, and of course, only Aurors could see it. And there were a few of them present there.

The technique she watched the young man use was more profound than anything she had seen in her life before, and by the time the ambulance arrived, the old man had been brought out of danger of losing his life or falling into an indefinite coma.

"He will be fine." Samrath, who seemed a little haggard, smiled at the young girl, who absently nodded to him and then climbed into the ambulance to stay by her father's side.

Before the few Aurors who had witnessed the Child of Destiny perform such a miraculous technique could approach him, he excused himself away and then ran from the place at a speed that shocked quite a lot of people.

"What was that Technique that he performed?" Kashish turned to look at Keith and asked.

"The Life Reversing Threads." He lightly said. "But he does not seem to have a complete grasp over it, and the Technique he used is some basic and toned-down version of the Life Reversing Threads."

Kashish's heart thumped hard in excitement after listening to his words, and despite herself, she could not help but expectantly look at him.

"The young boy we just saw is the only Grandson of the Head of the Arya Family." Keith suddenly said, and Kashish's eyes widened in surprise.

"He's an Arya?"

"Samrath Arya." He nodded. "And he will be studying together with you starting next Semester."

"What?" She was even more shocked and questioned herself how Keith would know it, only to feel a little silly after recalling what his true identity was. "Lord Erebus..." She stopped herself from voicing out what she yearned for, but Keith knew exactly what was on her mind.

"You want me to accept you as my disciple, don't you?" He knowingly asked, and Kashish embarrassedly lowered her head. "I would not teach a secret like the Life Reversing Thread to a mere disciple of mine, Miss Mir." He told her, making her feel a little at loss. "And I don't intend for you to become a mere disciple of mine." He added.

She curiously raised her head and met his eyes, having sensed an underlying meaning behind his words. But before she could try and decipher it, he leaned near her ear and laid it out clearly for her.

"I want you." He told her. "And if you truly want to become my disciple, know that you would forever belong to me, in every sense there is." Leaning in some more, he inhaled her scent, sending shivers up her spine that made her body tremble as well. "But in the end, it's your choice."

Kashish wanted to reach and grab him when he pulled back, but stopped herself and lowered her head, blushing hard.

Against her will, she recalled the words Kiara had earlier said to her about her brother being in love with her, and it made her blush harder.

"Take your time, Miss Mir." He smiled when he found her a little lost. "There is no rush. And hopefully, your time at the University won't so boring anymore."

Kashish frowned a little at his words, but when she raised her head, both Keith and Kiara had disappeared.

She looked around in a little panic, but then calmed down and subconsciously reached for her left ear, where the warmth of his breath still lingered.

On the other side of the Yellow Street, in a parking lot, a girl was laughing her heart out at what she had just witnessed.

"You love playing with a maiden's heart, don't you, brother?" Kiara teased. "But weren't you a little too straightforward?"

"She's someone who appreciates it." Keith shrugged and then opened the door of her Mclaren to take the passenger seat. "Let's go. We are late for dinner."

"Oh no!" Kiara suddenly realised that Minami, Iseul, and Yingying were waiting for them back home and immediately got into the car.
