Nathan grace(male lead), a 7th circle mage was wounded and surrounded by thousands of soldiers. He was screaming and cursing his brother and asking him,why... why are you doing this. I have followed your every order without hesitation till now then why do you want to kill me.

Ludwin grace,a 5th circle mage is standing infront of Nathan along with the commonder of those thousands of soldiers Halbert who is a 6th class aura swordsmen.

Ludwin says, Nathan you have always been ahead me in everything but it doesn't matter because you were just a bastard son whom borned to a maid,so you are a mere commoner.

That's why my father the Duke of drassia treated you as a dog until his death and I thought I would use as one too but you kept on becoming stronger and stronger.

Now you have reached the 7th circle,I am afraid if I let you grow stronger you will stab me from behind for the position of Duke.

I can't take that risk,so I have decided that your life comes to an end today. But don't worry about your mother, even though she is in her early 40's she still beautiful, so I'll use her as a plaything when I am bored.

After hearing those words, Nathan hatred turns into rage and using his remaining power he lunges at ludwin to kill him but two 6th class swordsmen brian and watson stops him from attacking and they attack him together and throws him back.

Seeing this, Nathan laughs and says may be I should try in dramas rather than being a magician because sometimes I frighten my self with how good of actor I am aren't I Halbert.

Hearing this,Halbert gives a wicked smile and stabs Ludwin grace from behind through his heart. Seeing this everybody were shocked especially brian and watson.

They tried to save ludwin but before they could move, Nathan activates 5th class spell "Hell fire" where brian and watson were standing,so the blue flames comes from the ground and started to burn those two.

Watson uses his full aura and partially dodges with moderate injuries but brian was neither that fortunate nor that faster so he was burnt to death by hell fire.

With shocked face ludwin asks Halbert why...why are you doing this. Halbert says stay quiet otherwise I'll remove sword from your heart then you will instantly die.

Nathan says to all the soldiers to kneel, hearing this 40% soldiers kneel and 60% don't kneel. Nathan continuous by saying I know most you don't understand what's happening here.

But you guys don't worry because everything including from the death of some strong soldiers who supported ludwin to the death of Duke of deggrasia was my plan. At this point many nobles who supported ludwin are being slaughtered all over the dukedom.

So, now I'll give you all 2 options,kneel before your new Duke or die and you have only 1 minute before taking a decision and if you can't decide after 1 minute you will be killed automatically.

Seeing this a captain of 1000 men team shouts, you traitor do you think you can live after doing this,we still have more soldiers on our side so we will kill you and save prince ludwin, saying this he order everybody to kill Nathan .

Before he could utter a single more word,vice captain of the same team beheads his captain and knelt before Nathan by saying hail our Duke Nathan grace.

After this, most of the soldiers knelt before Nathan but still some were loyal to ludwin so they don't want to accept Nathan so they requested to take them as prisoners.

Nathan orders all the soldiers to immediately kill all those who didn't knelt and no prisoners will be taken, immediately all those soldiers executed his order without hesitation.

Seeing this watson think for some time and kneeling before Nathan he says, prince Nathan I am willing to serve you my whole life but ignoring him Nathan burns him with hell fire.

After this Nathan comes infront of ludwin and says,I thought you were talentless trash but I was wrong because you are still alive after being stabbed through heart.

Ludwin was angrily staring at Nathan and wanted to say something but before that blood poured through his mouth.

Seeing this Nathan says, you don't need to strain yourself I sort of understand how you feel right now because just few minutes ago I was in the same situation even though it was my plan.

You must be thinking how did I take Halbert to my side. Its actually much simpler than you might be thinking,then he wishers into ludwin's ears saying, because I offered him the position of Duke.

Ludwin was shocked hearing that, but Nathan again wishers saying, ofcourse not now but once I became a king.

After this Nathan decapitates ludwin. Seeing this 35 year old Halbert says,I thought you would torcher him because of the things he and his father put you through.

24 year old Nathan says, there was no gain in torchering him,so I let him die a painless death and also this not time to waste because we need start 2nd part of our plan.
