======================================

Kiel's Pov

As I'm standing at the top of the hills, I could see a small village beneath me. A lively village full of harmony. Children run around playing and shouting about, women chatting while washing their family and their self's clothes and the men working as they joke at each other.

Truly a perfect picture of a peaceful village.

There are 126 people in there. 30 children, 14 infant, 16 elderly and 66 adult. I have been counting their population over and over again to see how far my skill have grown.

A few minutes later, my teacher walk to me. Without looking back to him, I could tell he is putting the same fake smile as usual.

"How many people are you controlling now?"(William)

"24 adult, 9 elderly, and 20 children"(Kiel)

"No infant?"(William)

"I have no use of them"(Kiel)

"And how many failure?"(William)

"Nineteen people died, fourteen adult and five elderly"(Kiel)

"*chuckle*"(William)

I could hear my master holds his laugh the moment I mention the casuality, but I have no right to rebuke him since it is my fault to begin with. A few weeks ago, I accidently kill those people. Well, they were already dead to begin with. I was just controlling their lifeless body, and I accidently lose control of them...

A few people on this village died because of monsters’ attack when they were traveling back. I used their body as my puppets and then control them to walk back to their houses as if they were alive. After that, my puppets would bring anyone who actually died either from sickness or from monsters’ attack to be a new puppet. It is after all, the training to expand my control and quantity over the object I cast spell on. A typical forbidden dark magic.

When I lose my control, the sight of people panicking because their family suddenly fall down and died could be seen from this hill. All of that was because of one problem

"So, how was your beloved fianceè doing? Did you find out the reason why she's been sleeping at late night?"(William)

This teacher of mine, he’s asking this on purpose...

"Yes my dear teacher"(Kiel)

I said and smile at him. When he saw this, the usual fake smile show up on his face, meaning he already lost an interest on the topic.

"Is that so? And here I was, thinking to comfort my lonely pupil because his fianceè cheated on him"(William)

Rune will never cheat on me!

I really want to yell at him, but in this game, the one who lose the composure first are the loser.

Yes, I lose control because Rune didn't sleep lately. I used my hand made doll so I can peep-...I mean guard her from any harm at night. But lately she sleeps in the morning and only sleep for several hours, making me have difficulty in finishing her sleeping portraits...because we were far apart, it is only a natural for me to keep a record of her growth. I am after all her fiancè.

"Thank you for the consideration, as you can guess, my fiancè never cheat on me and she never will"(Kiel)

I glare at him in my heart while keeping a sweet smile up front.

I trust Rune and believe that she will never cheat on me. She never lied on me either. But there is no guarantee of the other not trying to lay their hands on Rune because she is cute. That is why I send those two girls with her

That bird brain and airhead girl will report on me and do everything as I told, in return of something. The bird brain asked for a collection of adorable kids painting while that airheaded girl asked for particular books from demon continent. Of course, if they didn't do a good job, I would burn everything to ashes right in front of their faces.

"Also, I believe rather than comforting me, you have no other intention other than teasing me"(Kiel)

"Now now Kiel, you'll broke your teacher’s weak heart if you think of me like that."(William)

"I don't think so, my dear teacher. After all, something that never exist can't be broken in first place"(Kiel)

At my last words, he just smiled bitterly.

This skill he teach me is a forbidden dark magic. Only those with title [Broken Mind] can cast this magic.

[Broken Mind] title doesn't mean the title holder is insane or anything. Well, they mostly are insane, says teacher.

But there are also those people who aren't. Those people are the creator of forbidden dark magic. Teacher told me that the deep hatred drove those magician to let them handle the forbidden dark magic and try to destroy the society. That is why this dark magic categorized as a forbidden dark magic and only people with [Broken Mind] title can learn them.

This teacher of mine, he lost his loved one. Being forced to be apart, teacher was ready to forsaken his title as a noble. But his choice actually drove the other party to kill his lover. Overcome by sadness and rage, rather than mourning for his dead lover, teacher silently destroyed his fiancée's family financial, poisoned his own parents and ran havoc as a phantom destroying the nobility system. It is when he met Shena and was offered a spell to revive the dead that he finally stopped his rampage. Occupied in Syl's library, he reached out for every forbidden dark magic there. But even if he managed to revive her, that doesn't mean she would be the same person. Reviving an undead will only revive their body, not their soul. In exchange of his loyalty, Shena ordered Syl to tamper with the world of the dead, tying the soul to the dead body. After that it is up to the soul to remember their live before death. If their feelings are strong enough, they will remember their live, but if they do not, then it will only be a hollow ghoul with a soul trapped inside the body until the owner is dead.

As I expected, that girl named Syl is dangerous... To be able to tamper with people’s souls, that ability is the same level as the God of Death itself.

Teacher never told me who his lover is, but I can figure out who is she, no doubt that she is Cordelia. I mean, they are actually flirting while in the middle of teaching me. Although I told Miss Cordelia to not flirt, she would turn red and keep saying that they are not flirting, but says that she was being bullied by teacher instead. Which part of sitting in teacher's lap or force to feed him is a bullying? They are clearly flirting, while I’m being frustrated because I'm far apart from Rune...

...I will talk to miss Cordelia about the truth behind bugs outbreak in her room next time. That will put her away from teacher for a couple days.

"...Please don't think about anything strange my dear student."(William)

With his sudden words, I almost blink in surprise but manage to put on a smile up front. Sh*t, is this guy can read mind too?

"What are you talking about my dear teacher?"(Kiel)

I answer with innocent smile

"You still need training on your facial expression my dear student. You shows a different smile when you’re planning something bad"(William)

That is weird, I am sure to smile like always, what he mean by 'different'?

"There are 0.003 milite change in your smiling face"(William)

{AN : Milite = millimeter}

...that’s impossible...

"Reading your opponent’s facial expression is important. I know you have that ability to see people's lies, but depending only to that ability alone isn't enough."(William)

"...tsk..."(Kiel)

That the same thing as saying that my training is still far away from done.

Meaning, I wouldn't meet Rune any time soon... As I think that, I hold tight my ring to shoo away this unpleasant lonely feeling.

"That's new. I didn't know you wear a necklace"(Willam)

Said teacher while pointing my necklace ring. Because the size is a bit big for my hand, I wear it as a necklace. Rune give it to me as a present.

"This is my wedding ring"(Kiel)

I said with smile.

"Wedding...ring?"(William)

It is one from Rune’s stories. Sometimes Rune would tell me a story before bed. All of those stories would end up happy ending with the character exchange their vow in front of God. To prove they have already did the wedding ceremony, they need those so called wedding ring. When I asked her about it, she said that ring is mainly used to prove that you already have long life partner so it isn't only used when you exchange vow in front of God.

I remember that you should put this ring into certain finger, but I don't really remember which finger or which hand it is.

I will ask her later once I meet her again. It would be better if she is the one who put the ring into my finger just like stories she told me. I mean, Rune giving this ring to me when I reach my adulthood age, that means she is proposing to me right the moment I turn into adult right? I remember that the couple in the stories supposed to 'exchange' their rings. That means I should prepare one for Rune too right? Then, I should give it to her when she reach age 15 just like we promised. Then we will be just like those couple Rune told me about, to be bound together for eternity...

....

....U-uaa!! Just thinking about it made me super excited. I grin broadly while looking at the ring in my hand.

"Student, control, please focus on your control. You are making those undead pawn dancing uncontrollably"(William)

Uh… too excited...

"...I'm sorry dear teacher, I got distracted."(Kiel)

"I could tell that from that big grin on your face"(William)

"...*smile*"(Kiel)

Well, sorry for lack on face expression control!

For a few minutes, we exchange a sweet smile with heavy air around us. I dislike him, but I trust him because we are a bit similar.

After I control my puppets normally, the people in village once again fill up with laughter. This familiar village actually feel like a stranger to me. The lively voices, the big smile and the kindness...The more I looked at them, the more my heart turn cold. A women come out from her house with a man behind her. Even a stranger could tell that they are a couple. She smile happily as she called someone and then a little boy run towards her.

You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author.

The smile that she never shown to me, the kind voice that she never used to call my name. I just look at her with disgust in my heart.

Yes, I used to call that women my mother.

Yes, I used to call this place as my home.

Even after what they have done to me, even after they sold me, they live happily as if there is no guilt in their heart.

It seems that women had married someone from the village and have a son.

They looked so happy.

A happy family of three...

I could feel myself smiling at this familial happiness.

In the end of my training, I would release my undead puppets to run havoc among the villager and burn all down to ashes. Thinking what sight would show when that happen, I just can't surpress my smile.

Fuhuhuhu, I really can't wait to finish my training and meet up with Rune.

"There you are."(???)

A male voice can be heard behind us and a tall figure emerges from the bushes. It's the stupid perverted old man, Allan.

"You should told me if you are in this kind of place! It is much farther from what you told me!"(Allan)

Protested Allan.

This man came along with us to the demon continent. It is really unbelievable that such womanizer is a great information gatherer. No, because he is a womanizer that he could gather the information. His hobby is seducing women and while he’s at it, he also gather information from them.

"So, what is it now, Allan?"(William)

"You wouldn't believe what I found."(Allan)

Answered Allan with a confident grin. Well, even he’s a womanizer, he’s a great informant.

"It turns out every single maid in that mansion is a beauty!"(Allan)

I take my compliment back.

"The girl with curly hair is delicate beauty and is really great at cleaning, and the head maid is actually young beauty with soft straight hair, and here I though the head maid must be an old lady-"(Allan)

While this idiot is still blabbering his mouth, my teacher and I exchange glance. And with his single nod, I cast my spell

"[Delios Fang]"(Kiel)

Five black spheres shows up around my hand and slowly turn into thin, sharp like fang.

"Fire"(William)

Said teacher while pointing his hand at Allan.

"Yes teacher"(Kiel)

Realizing that we are serious, Allan turn pale and quickly back away.

"W-wait a moment there! I was just kidding alright!"(Allan)

"Speak now or forever be silent"(William)

"Seriously?! You two are really planning to kill me over one joke?!"(Allan)

"Accident happens"(Kiel)

"*gulp* O-okay! Okay! I will get serious! Please cancel your magic."(Allan)

I do as Allan asked and with a snap, the sphere were gone.

"*sigh* you know, this information turns out to be much more serious that we expected."(Allan)

Said Allan with serious face.

"I think, the head east family of Ofrigen is actually Kiel's father!"(Allan)

"...."(William)

"...."(Kiel)

Allan look at us with proud face, but sorry for ruining your moment, I actually know that already.

"...We know that already"(William)

"Yes, I realize that the moment I saw him"(Kiel)

"I see, I see, you guys already-...EEEHH?! You guys knew?!"(Allan)

Well, silver eyed demon are rare existence. When they heard about a merchant with 'silver eyes demon' trait, of course they would suspect me as one of their clan descendant. Not only do I have silver eyes, my hair is pure black and I have demon wings. You could say that I am the strongest kind of demon they usually would proud to have as a heir. It isn't strange if my mother brag about my look to earn my father’s support. But when father stop supporting her, the fact I am different from other is actually a disgrace for her and the village because of an old custom or such.

When I first meet with the demon continent nobility especially the silver eyed clan, they keep praised my look and offering me either to marry into their household or work for them. And there is only one family that didn't talk much to me and even sometimes avoid to look into my eyes. It is the Ofrigen's family head.

Teacher also notices this strangeness. Of course at that moment I knew that he is my father, but I didn't say anything about it and pretend to not notice.

Even if he isn't my father, I don't really care much, we never met before that and also I don't have any ambition to be a nobility or anything. I want to live a peaceful, simple life with Rune rather than being chained up with nobility responsibility and law. It is much more fun to control everything from behind the stage after all.

But the silver eyed demon clan wouldn't stop disturbing me. Right now I can somehow avoid their offer and invitation, pretending to be a humble and a bit clumsy merchant. It wouldn't take long before they start to find an alternative ways to try to take control of me. That is why we send Allan to gather information. Search for every household’s weakness to be my cards later on.

And coincidentally, Ofrigen family become the first target. That is because the legal wife of that family is the eighth daughter of the previous demon king. Meaning, she is the current king's sister.

Compared to other family, Ofrigen family have the higher position among the others because of this.

But this information Allan gave to me isn't very helpful at all.

"...Then you must have already know about their son's condition too..."(Allan)

Said Allan with dejected look.

"Wait, what condition?"(Kiel)

"Huh? You don't know? Their son is born with white hair"(Allan)

White hair? Seriously?

"Well, that have been a rumour among the maid in the mansion. They keep their son away from the other family head clan and he is never going out from the mansion. Even the maid that’s taking care of that child is only a few in number."(Allan)

… The Ofrigen's family heir is actually have a white hair... a white haired demon...

…

…..

…….This is bad...I couldn't hold my laughter

"Pft...Ahahahahahahaha!"(Kiel)

Because my sudden burst of laughter, Allan is looking at me with dot like eyes while my teacher is looking troubled.

"...Kiel, focus"(William)

"Heh!...I-I am sorry my dear teacher."(Kiel)

The demon capability in magic could be seen by their hair color. The darker it is, the stronger and more elements they can cast. Having white hair is same thing as saying that he can't use magic.

"Good job Allan, you are a great informant after all"(Kiel)

"Eh? E-erm...yes?"(Allan)

Allan answer my compliment with a stiff face. That might be because this is the first time I act nicely to him.

"Well then, we should give our greeting to the Ofrigen's family heir tomorrow."(Kiel)

Ah, this will be so much fun

"After all, we will have a very pleasant chat with them."(Kiel)

I smile sweetly because thinking about what will we talk about with them tomorrow. On contrary, Allan is showing a very pale and scared face while teacher is smiling like always.

I really can't wait for tomorrow.

I can't wait for my new toy.

Rune's Pov

In front of me, there are two choice.

On the right is represents my past and my dignity as a man while the other side is what should take relating my current situation.

"...Hm"(Crev)

Screw this! Of course I would choose the right one!

As I take what I have chose, someone’s hands stops me from moving by grabbing my shoulder.

Lila and Kena are looking at me with grave look.

"...What are you doing Rune?"(Lila)

"Are trying to pick what I'm thinking you might be picking? That is impossible right?"(Kena)

Their eyes are freaking scary!

"W-what are you talking about? It is only natural for me to pick the right side"(Rune/Crev)

"What are you saying? It is obviously the left one right?"(Kena)

"Un! The left side it is"(Lila)

"What?! No way! I want to choose the right side!"(Rune/Crev)

"Rune, it is taboo for a girl wearing men's underwear"(Kena)

"Yes, inappropriate"(Lila)

I used to be a guy you know?! There is no way I would wear those, those women underwear! That would make me straight into a pervert!

All this time I used to wear a child underwear, between male and female, they both are similar, that’s why I can wear it safely. But this time, Kena and Lila bring me to the adult underwear store. There is no way I will wear woman underwear! You hear me! NO WAY!

"Also, it is rare for the three of us to have time to shop some clothes together"(Lila)

"While the other three are still busy walk around the material market, it is the perfect time for us to buy new clothes for you!"(Kena)

"W-well, what's wrong with my current clothes? I still have plenty of them!"(Rune/Crev)

"Not cute"(Lila)

"Really, really uncute"(Kena)

They both said that as if it is a life and death matter. Sorry, but I never planned to be cute...

"We also need those for you"(Kena)

"...Those?"(Rune/Crev)

My line sight follow Kena's finger. What she's pointing is...

"!? NO! No freaking way! No! Definitely No! NOOOOO!"(Rune/Crev)

"Now, now, don't be a coward and come with us"(Kena)

"We need to measure your size"(Lila)

"N-no! Please don’t!”(Rune/Crev)

Despite my plea, both girls are able to drag me even though I’ve beaten tons of dragons! What level are they!?

“NOOOO!"(Rune/Crev)

That was the first time for her entire life, she bought a bra

{AN : This event happened right before they depart to the Dwarf kingdom}

======================================

because I am now free from the (slave labor) school field project, what left is the paper work! Yaaaaaay! (not really happy about it though...

I will try to speed up my writing and hopefully I will post the next chapter on 22 feb? I hope I will manage...
