"Huh son, where have you been? Who is that…uh person?" In shock she could only remain still, her son bought a woman so beautiful that she could not believe it. "Mother this is Ragnis, she is my uh…servant." Ragnis stood next to Ignas then with this her amazing features were exposed, a woman who was both beautiful and intimidating, her skin was a deep, glossy onyx, , her long, dark hair flowed like a river of night, framing a face of sharp, determined features. Her eyes, glowing with a silvery light, burned with loyalty and resolve.
"Greeting the mistress."
"Go to my room and wait for me, mother we can not go back to the estate. To be precise we will be living like commoners from now on so Ragnis will help you with what you need and i am going for awhile again but i will be taking those two with me." He commanded Ragna to return to him unnoticed, then said his farewells and left with his supposed wives. They reached the kingdom of beasts at night time, tired and suffocating the wives plead for rest after using mobility arts for 2 days straight just so they could avoid spending money on a plane.
'Argh, this is torture….i think i am going to die' Rosa jumped on the bed to relax her exhausted body, Jane went to bath and…Ignas was not in the room,
"Hello there, do you know where the Yeon clan is?" The drunk man looked at him with peace malice then smiled so brightly as he said:
"Yes i do, actually i am a member there you see so how may i help you?" Ignas led out a sigh of relieve then said with an carefree tone,
"Well you see, i am looking for a man called Steve. He is someone i have to repay dearly, can you take me there or you want me to do this the hard way?" The drunk man's face changed when he realized what was unfolding, this made him sober up without him knowing.
"I-i will take you there…."
"Good, now how many people live there?" They started to head to the Yeon clan, the man was overwhelmed by Ignas's presence that he dared not to defy his words.As the arrive at the Yeon clan's gates, he did not waste any time as he [Shadow warp] his way inside, leave the man stunned for a moment before his head fell off.
"Who are you?!?" The guards began to surround him with their weapons unsheathed and were all prepare to kill him, unfortunately Ignas did not have time to play with them as his target might as well escape again and so he used [Shadow creation] to form thousands of spikes that impaled the men of the Yeon clan killing all of them in one breath.
"Easy as pie now let us go see our little young master Steve." As he entered the manor, he found all of the family members, elders, servants and the warriors of the clan inside waiting for him. He was dumbfounded for a moment before he led out a laughter of mockery, after a while he went silent, scratched his head and shook it in disappointment.
"Steve it is great to see you again my shopping shuttle, Jane can not seen to sleep properly since i did not allow her to kill you so i am here for you. I will only kill you and those who interfere with the battle between me and you, how about it…quite fair right?" The patriarch led out a laugh then stood up, "You there, you seem to be mistaking something here so how bout you join us for a meeting before you settle you old grudge with my son here?" Ignas smiled like a creep and said with a obnoxious tone:
"NO…..well you see today i was actually planning on removing your clan from the face of the earth so STEVE, this is because of your foolishness!!!" Shadow spikes impaled through their flesh, having them hanging out in the air as Ignas kept whistling joyful. Everyone in the Yeon clan was dead excluding the servants and Steve, in horror they watched and witnessed the fall of the Yeon clan. Steve was petrified in fear while the servants led out a blood curled scream which inevitably pissed Ignas off and led him into killing them too.
[You have gained a title: Ruthless Shadow]
"Now for the main course of this wonderful meal, Steve, Steve, Steve…..do you remember what i told you? No wait, i will tell you a secret before you die, i, Ignas Lionhart am the one and only path to your rebirth."
"….S-stop please f-forgive me! NO NO NO NOOO!!!" Steve was skinned alive before his limbs got cut off, his hair plucked out like rice crops and his blood drained...he finally died.
By morning, the news about the fall of the Yeon clan filled the whole kingdom, as it ended with the city in an up roar. Ignas happened to be asleep as Jane and Rosa were discussing about the current situation,
"Do you think he did it?"
"Of course, that is the family were Steve is from and now they are all dead. Do you remember what he said before?"
"Yes i do, he did say he was going to kill them all but this was a clan that was tenth of times stronger than ours."
"He is a monster, should we keep doing as older brother has instructed us?" Rosa asked with a trembling voice, Jane shook her head violently because even she never wanted to be a spy nor be the wife of this monster that skin people alive or destroy a whole clan for small problems but as a woman, her fate was sealed led her to be given away in what is said to be a political marriage.
The two siblings came into conclusion that they will no longer do as told by their eldest brother but be what they were said to be: 'The wives of Ignas.'
