Reincarnated as a Failed Villain: Fallen Angel
25 Inside the castle: part 3
Lucas stood silently as Thomas and Selena stared at him. He scratched the back of his head while mumbling to himself. 'What the hell did I just say?'.
"Ehem." Thomas cleared his throat and asked Lucas. "What about your murders in the city?"
"About that..." Lucas turned his gaze to the floor to avoid Thomas's eye contact. "Look, I needed to train. So why shouldn't I kill heinous criminals? It's not like there is a law against it in here." Lucas said.
He was not wrong. The Elemental kingdom did not have any rules against the murder. Strong prey on the weak. It honestly surprised Lucas, 'How did this society did not crumble', he thought to himself.
"That's... True." Thomas scratched his head as he nodded. "You're right. There is nothing to be done about that anymore. However, killing more people may cause a problem in the future."
"Huh? What about your friend Dorian?" Lucas asked in disbelief. In the novel, Thomas's classmate Dorian murdered the entire school after becoming a demon and was still allowed to continue murder because Thomas simply could not stop him. Dorian was a much stronger demon lord on par with deities.
"Who?" Thomas raised his brows in confusion. "Who is Dorian?"
"Who? What do you mean?" Lucas raised his brows in confusion. "The same guy who awakened with Demon king - Drake."
"Selena. Leave." Thomas's face turned dark as he glared at Selena.
"W-What? Why?" Selena looked baffled as she stepped back away from Thomas.
"Get out." Thomas raised his voice in anger.
Selena looked at Thomas in shock. This was the first time he ever raised his voice at her.
"W-Why?! I want to know too…" she protested.
Thomas stood up from the bed and walked towards Selena. He created a portal behind her and pushed her out of the room.
Selena appeared in her own room, completely stunned. 'What did I do?' she wondered as she remembered everything that had happened in the room.
Meanwhile, Thomas walked toward doors. He opened the doors to look around if no one was listening. He knew everyone would be eavesdropping on their conversation, especially Selena.
He groaned in annoyance. "Damn it!" He turned to Lucas. "How do you know about Drake?"
"T-That... Uh..." Lucas was speechless. 'What can I even tell him?' he asked himself, knowing that telling about the novel would make him seem crazy.
"Scratch that. If you can't tell about where you got this information..." Thomas shook his head. "Tell me about Dorian."
"What?" Lucas raised his brows in surprise.
"Dorian." Thomas repeated firmly. "Who is he?"
"What?! He was your classmate!" Lucas exclaimed in shock. "Your friend! Drake's rival!"
Thomas stared at Lucas for a moment. Then his eyes widened in shock as he began to laugh hysterically.
"But... but... You're joking, right? Are you really telling me that there is another demon here?!" Thomas laughed harder as he bent over, clutching his ribs.
Lucas was dumbfounded by Thomas's reaction. Then he realized that here Dorian never became a demon; or at least, he never became Thomas's friend. 'This is weird. First Sarah... Now Dorian...'
"You want to tell me you don't know him?" Lucas asked, astonished.
"I don't." Thomas's face turned grim. "I never met him... If I did, we never even talked."
"I have a bad feeling about this..." Thomas and Lucas said in unison as they shared a glance.
"I hope you're wrong." Thomas muttered under his breath as he gazed at the door. "I need to investigate this."
***********
Meanwhile, in Elemental hospital, Dorian lied in the bed unconscious. He had a bandage wrapped around his head and a few cuts and bruises on his body that continued to appear as if someone kept cutting and beating him.
A woman, Elizabeth, in her twenties, sat on the floor near his bed and wept into her hands.
"Dorian..." Elizabeth sobbed quietly. "Please... I need you."
