Chapter 17: Chapter 17

I entered the mansion through the broken wall, I went up the stairs and into the bed room that aligned with the window. I had a sneaky suspicion that the wind using knight was stationed there to move the child away but the knight likely belived escape to be impossible which wasn't wrong, but I'd have enjoyed playing some cat and mouse.

The long haired knight opened the door for me and I found two children within the room, there was a boy and a girl. The boy had blonde hair, a fairly common trait of the Aries House, he was the young master of the Aries House. The girl on the other had blonde hair, but silver ends.

'I've found it, it's a wonderful coincidence that I've found her here. I thought I'd have to find her on the streets or something but this is just perfect. I can take out that boy and attain the power of a Valkyrie, all that's left to do is for me to become her special someone.'

I looked at the boy, I recalled the events which transpired at the birthday party, I was going to have to make sure he died tonight or I'd look like a fool.

The boy pushed the girl into me, he was using her as a diversion. I caught her, and placed her beside me.

The boy charged at me, Fire manifesting in each of his hands and coating his fists like gloves. He was indeed fairly talented, having reached Mana class 9 even though he was only a year or so older than I was.

"You're fairly good, I would ask for your name..."

I enhanced myself with Mana and circulated it throughout my body in an instant, I side stepped the brat and grabbed him by the face.

"But frankly I don't give a shit. But let me tell you this.

I slammed the boy right into the ground, leaving cracks that reached the walls of the overly spacious and extravagant room. I got on top of him and started punching his face.

"I'm going to fucking kill you."

I just kept punching and punching, at one point i started hearing my hands crack. I ignored it and kept punching, the boy kept screaming but after an hour or so he shut up. I took a look at my hands, or rather what used to be my hands.

They weren't even clenched any more, they were limping and had bones protruding at random angles. I even had fragments of bone embedded within the boy's face, the boy had a black eye along with several broken bones and a shattered nose.

I wasn't done yet, I siphoned dark attribute Mana from within my core and used it to stabilise my hands. Normally I wouldn't have taken any damage but I made sure to purposefully use terrible form, this led to me breaking hands from my own power but it would at least make sure that the message got across.

I wanted rumours to spread of me being someone who was powerful, and that I was willing to go to such extents for someone who isn't even related to me by blood. Most of the time nobles would send knights to do the job, but an act like this would likely make me seem like someone who was willing to do things by himself.

This would allow for room for my subordinates' loyalty to grow, but this was merely one step of many.

I plunged my fingers into the boy's stomach, and made tendrils of darkness form from my fingers, they wrapped around the bones of his limbs making sure to pierce as many muscles as I possibly could on the way there. The fifth tendril was just there to make sure he didn't die too early. I started coiling the tendrils around his bones like a snake chocking it's prey.

Cracks resounded around the entire room, the boy screamed in absolute agony but I didn't bat an eye. This was enough for me, I couldn't be bothered with this anymore so I was going to end it now.

"Remember what I said earlier? Because I'm about to fulfill that promise."

I took a breath before speaking, and released my killing intent making sure everyone in the room felt it.

"Because I'm going to fucking kill you now."

I plunged my other hand into his chest and crushed his heart, killing him almost immediately after het let out a final blood curdling scream.

I got up and shook my hands trying to get rid of as much blood as possible.

I turned around and looked at the girl beside me, she was called Charlotte. I didn't expect her to be here but it was a good opportunity. In the game she was a villain who became a member of the protagonist's harem, she was something like a sub heroine.

I wanted her, she was a bearer of the Valkyrie's bloodline. She was a Blood Valkyrie, meaning she could manipulate blood as well as create it. And she would get stronger the more blood she spilt. Meaning the more wounds she received the stronger she could get, and she could get stronger by looking at the blood of others, but she had to be the one who spilt it.

I pat her head gently and tears streamed down her face. I knew she had a horrible family, she was the child of a concubine who had died long ago. She was alone. And she had strange hair which was picked on by the brat I killed.

I didn't know what house she belonged to but it was a house that was always destroyed, she always came up as a villain but she didn't always appear as a capture target. I was going to tame her with kindness, she was a Yandere so i just had to make her feel attached towards me.

I hugged her tightly, she had very soft skin. I could feel it as she was only wearing a ragged vest. She had dirt all over her face and clothes but that didn't hide beautiful silver eyes. A trait of the Valkyrie race, she inherited the Valkyrie's bloodline from her mother. Her mother was a commoner, and somehow had the Valkyrie's bloodline but unfortunately she didn't awaken it.

Charlotte had awakened it, she was already a mage, or Mana manipulator if we were being scientific. She must've awakened when she tried to commit suicide, what a pitiful child. The Aries household likely tried to hide her to make their young master look better and increase his chances of becoming the family head.

The house that was on the mother's side would probably have despised knowing that one of their children had lost to a mere concubine's child in the race for inheritance. So they probably made sure she could never get any help, training or let any rumours spread. Of course no knew she had the Valkyrie's blood flowing through her or else the Aries household would likely forgo their relations to the other house to make sure Charlotte became the Head while other houses would wish for her to become their young masters bride.

I brought her close to me and gently stroked her back, I was trying to become someone she trusted. And this sort of warm affection would likely be the way to warming up that ice cold heart.

I then felt something drip from the corners of my lips, I brought my hand to my mouth and saw that I was dripping blood. I looked at my body, she had her hand plunged into my stomach.

"I'm sorry, I'm not sure if I can trust you, I don't want to go through anything else so I'll just have your knights free me. I'm sure they'll want to kill me after I've done this."
