Well this is it, my newest story born form a stray thought. Hope you guys enjoy it

The chain binding his hand and legs
The uncomfortable itch in his back and head
And the cold and dark corridor by which the man walk ever so slowly
Well…..now that he think about it, the dark part is probably because of the cloth that cover his eyes.
For all he knows this corridor he walks could probably be painted with rainbow and other bright colors, maybe even with the picture of unicorn and rainbow in its wall
Of course the man highly doubt that this is the case though,
Why you ask?
Why it’s because he’s on his way to the execution room of course! And while the probability of it having some colorful wall and pretty picture of animal is not completely zero he’s still think that the corridor he walked have some sort of dark and creepy aura in it
After all, what use is bright and colorful thing for someone who is about to die?
Well…….plenty of thing now that he think about it. For example-
“Walk faster you bastard!”
A not so gentle shove hit me in the back, almost making me stumble and lost my footing. Thanks to the chain and my awesome sense of balance though, I regain my balance just as quickly as I lost it
Now that just rude. What kind of uncivilized people disturb other monologue anyway?
Turning my head to the barbarian who doesn’t know manner, I give him my best ‘ I-disapprove-of-your-uncivilized-manner-stare’.
This, what with my eyes being covered by the black cloth and all that I presume would not have that much effect on the uncivilized guy who just shoved me
“Rude? Fucking rich coming from a Psychopathic Bastard like you”
So the man say…..wait, just how did he know what I’m thinking? Could it be that instead of thinking it, I actually spoke my last thought out loud?
“Psychopathic? I do hope that you are not referring to me good sir “ I replied indignantly
“Who else do yo-“ Before the barbarian manage to finish whatever his uncivilized mouth want to say though, another voice not far from him makes it presence known
“Be silent”
A cold voice, colder than even this corridor he walked. The sheer coldness of the firm voice more than enough to make the barbarian’s word died on his mouth. Of course, this voice that carries coldness surpassing even the cold ice itself is a voice that the man happens to be very familiar with.
Thus, he let out smile as he turns to greet the newcomer
“Ah, my dear Freya! It’s so nice to hear your lovely voice among this bunch of barbarians!” Different from before, the man’s voice is now practically beaming with joy as he greet the lovely and cold voice he knew all too well
“I assure you the feeling is not mutual, master” The voice, who belongs to a woman named Freya replied with almost emotionless tone.
Of course, for someone who have known her as long as he is, the man can easily detect even the tiniest emotion in the woman’s voice
“Ah lovely Freya, still being a ‘tsundere’ aren’t you?” He replied this with a slight laugh. If the woman is bothered by the man’s answer, she doesn’t show it.
Although he can’t see her with his eyes being covered and all that, he can imagine Freya beautiful form even with his eyes closed. Naturally, she would still be wearing her business suit like some kind of mafia from those video games that hide those voluptuous breasts of her, truly a shame really.
Next, she probably still keeps her long black hair in a ponytail, a fact that always amuses the man to no end. After all those, long hair of hers is no doubt a source of endless problem especially in her profession and yet she stubbornly kept it anyway.
Uncaring of the norm, uncaring of the danger and doing as she pleases.
Truly, Freya is the man’s most precious apprentice
“We already behind the schedule. Could you all hurry up?” Freya told them , voice still as cold as ever she turn her back and started walking leaving behind the chained man and the terrified guards behind her
“Ah dear beautiful Freya, she never change”
Laughing once again, the man begin his leisure walk following the lovely figure of the woman in front of him, leaving the still frozen guard behind him
How did he able to follow someone while being blindfolded you say?
It’s easy of course, it’s because he’s just that awesome!
….that and the corridor is a very clear straightway path
------------------------------------------------------------
“-For your crimes against humanity we sentences to death. May the God and-“
Boring, boring, and-
“-Thus with the infinite mercy of-“
- Yep, still boring.
Really now, why are they so fond of these overly long speech ? It’s not as if he going to repent anyway, so they might just killed him already lest the boredom take his life first
Currently the man is sitting on some sort of chair with what appear to be helmet in his head. He would love to get a closer look at it, but seeing his hand and legs are currently bind to the chair he hardly can do that can’t he?
Thankfully, though his eyes are no longer blindfolded so at the very least he can let his eyes wander around the room,
There are quite a lot of people in this execution room now that he gets a proper look of it.
There’s Freya, his lovely apprentice standing all alone in the corner of the room. She’s not that different from what he imagines, the only difference is she let loose her hair for once, which makes her even more beautiful.
Then there are those barbarian guards. As he hardly fond of them, he quickly moves his gazes to the others.
A Leader of a Country
The Boss of criminal organization
Head of world security
The Leader of major religion
Even a wanted terrorist
Every kind of important people seems to gather here just to watch his execution
Really this people, don’t they have anything to do besides watching a man get fried on a
chair?
Grumbles as he want though, he kind of understand why so many people is here to watch his death.
After all, he IS the world’s worst criminal, the so called ‘World’s greatest mistake’
If you find this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the infringement.
……he’s kind of proud of that title to be honest
“-and now, we will commence the execution. Arsene Valdus , do you have any last word?”
Ah, it’s finally ended! And they finally called his name too!
‘So, last word huh? Hmmmmm………’ The man, who apparently named Valdus seems to be in deep though for a moment, wondering what is good to be his last world in this world
Then, a light bulb appear in his head
‘Ah, I know!’
“Freya-“
As Valdus called her name, her apprentice only moves her head ever so slightly. Only the most observant people would notice it
Which coincidentally, is what the man happen to be
All that present in the room held their breath, wondering what could possibly be the last world of the ‘World’s greatest mistake’ to his apprentice
While they know that the monster’s apprentice is on their side, they still afraid of the possibility of her betraying them and helping her master escape. A highly unlikely possibility, seeing that it was due to her in the first place that makes it possible to catch and keep that monster at bay
But it was a possibility nonetheless
“-be a dear and deal with those uncivilized barbarian after I die will you?”
With that last word, Freya freezes for a second, before she let out a small nod and going back to her previous stoic self not letting any emotion surface on that beautiful face again
Everyone in the room let out the breath they are holding. It seems that their worst fear did not come true. While the word ‘Deal with’ sounds ominous, it seems that the target of the monster’s ire is not them
While everyone in the room is relieved though, the guards that escort the man suddenly turn pale.
But who cares about some guards?
“Is that your last word?”
The voice speaks again, Valdus though already ignored the voice preferring to enjoy the his last moment with eyes closed while humming a tune
Seeing that he will not get any response, the voice turn into silence, and begin signaling for the execution
Electricity begin to power up the chair and the helmet thing above his head
But the monster continue to hum, uncaring of the inevitable death that will come to him
A hum so peaceful and beautiful, like the sounds of gentle winds blowing the grass
So quiet and serene
It was a truly bizarre sigh, an unfitting sight for the one whom they called Monster
One moment the hum is echoing throughout the room and the next-
*BZZTTT*
-The sounds of something being electrocuted echoes throughout the room, replacing the beautiful humming that previously here
After that all is quiet,
No one dares to makes a sound, fearing that the monster might wake up again
“…He’s dead, all vital are down. It’s confirmed, Arsene Valdus also known as ‘World’s greatest mistake’ is dead”
With that, ever so slowly voices begin to fill up the room.
Some let out a sigh of relief
Some shout out in joy, congratulating one another for job well done
Another let out a laugh, rejoicing in the fact that a monster is finally dead
Once the news has traveled, there is no doubt that the whole world will rejoice in
happiness, even going as far as marking this days as a historical event, the day where finally The ‘World’s greatest mistake’ is dead
And yet-
And yet among these joyful and laughter, one woman stood in stoic silence. Her blue eyes gazing at the dead body of The World’s greatest mistake not with joy or even relief, just its usual stoic and indifference stares
Ever so slowly, she turns her head from the corpse, making sure to burn every single thing of his image on her memory and not forgetting even a single strait of his hair
It was weird really, now that she thinks about it
Her master is always smiling, but it’s usually the kind of smile that hides secret and plans behind them
Yet this time, his master smile seemed so peaceful and serene. As if he’s satisfied with his life and has nothing to regret
Perhaps……perhaps he really is. Either way she will never knew
Finally turning her back at her master’s corpse, Freya slithers back into the shadows, away from any eyes and undetected by all that present in the room
She has no time for grieving and all that. After all, Freya still has a job to do. One last favor from her dear beloved Master
And so Freya is gone from the room, leaving no evidence or even a proof that she is even here…..save for a single tears that manage to escape her eyes
.

Not long after the death of The Monster, two corpse of man is found floating in the lake
Their head are smashed, limbs cut off, face mangled beyond recognition
It was a truly horrid sight
As to who they are it still wasn’t known, identification will take times considering how little of their remain actually exist
Strangely though, the two guard that escort The Monster is currently missing with no sign of appearance anywhere in this earth not even the government know where they are
As to what happen to Freya, her body is found dead an hour after her master execution.
The cause of dead is electrocution, the same as her master.
Thus end the tale of Arsene Valdus , The Greatest mistake the world ever produce and the worst criminal that ever live in history of mankind
.

“Oh look, he’s waking up!”
A binding light that’s too bright for his eyes, the face of a human that’s too big to be normal
“Look look! He’s finally open his eyes!”
The baby opens his little eyes, and let out an innocent smile
The World’s greatest mistake is born once more
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah, not lot of background of either the protagonist or his apprentice.
Planning to show how and why The Protagonist achieve his title as ‘The World’s Greatest Mistake’ bits by bits in later chap though, because it’s more interesting that way
As always, critic and comment is always appreciated.
See you again next time!
