The Author Is Speechless-Chapter 76: Female lead’s army

There's a hidden villain in my story who has absolute resistance to demonic aura. He showed up at the end of the story, but his influence affected the story very successfully.

The hidden character never showed his face, but he was against her becoming the crown prince.

Because he knows what type of person she is.

His existence was hidden by me inside the book, but he was always in the background of the story from the very beginning. He was like a drop of lime in creamy milk.

The main villain in my story is a sadist, a cruel murderer and a two-faced snake. So, it will be so much fun if I play with him a little bit.

Viktor left the tea party after 2 pm with his other brothers and left the carriage on the midway. His brothers stayed quiet because they knew he was up to something really important.

The place was a commoner's district with countless beggars roaming around. A lawless place where no light of mercy enters.

This place is the same as I described in my book. The old tower bell with a rusty bell hanging. The guards are playing poker instead of guarding the gates and the neighbour. Some children in worn-out clothes playing around with sharp knives so casually. And the elf hookers with tons of piercings on their long pointy ears. The place was called the dark heart of the capital city, Libittras. The biggest slum of the Vestrain kingdom.

Viktor was walking down a dirty narrow road that leads to somewhere with a black mask on his face. He sealed his appearance with manipulative magic so that he wouldn't stand out in the slum. To the other people's eyes, Viktor looked like a beggar with an ugly face. Even a rat would ignore him.

The slum is getting deeper as if I'm walking inside a maze. It's so dirty and smelly to the point that my stomach is feeling sick.

He cast invisible magic and flew up to see the whole slum district. It was so huge that it nearly reached the horizon. So he thought that flying would be a better idea.

After flying for some minutes by following the narrow path from above, he reached a small house with no windows on it. He was sure that it was the right house.

Let's see…

Knock! Knock! Knock!

"Who's it?"

A young boy's voice came out of the small house.

"I want to have a little chat with you. Mind if you open the door please?"

The door opened and it made the loudest and the longest cracking noise like it was open for the first time. "Um. Who are you?" The boy with pink hair and eyes asked while rubbing his sleepy eyes.

"I'm Viktor, and I'm here to recruit you."

The little boy with a baby face and pink innocent hair in front of me might look like a small 17 years old harmless boy. But he's the one who controlled and dragged the female lead to death at the end of my story. A holy priest who stayed quiet and devoured the demon guardian's fragment little by little and exposed all her wrongdoings to the whole kingdom.

From the story's point of view, he's the main villain. But from the author's perspective, he's the main lead or the protagonist of the story.

The pink boy stared at Viktor for a moment and said, "That face of yours is fake. Right?"

Viktor smirked a little and said, "Hahaha! You got me. Anyway, I'm here to give you a job."

"I don't want to work for anyone suspicious. Furthermore, I don't do a dog's job."

"The payment is 1 thousand gold per month."

The boy flinched at his words and said, "Wh..what? Are you kidding me?"

Viktor took out a thin brown hair from his pocket and gave it to him with a handkerchief. It was the hair of Elena that he secretly took and hid inside his pocket.

The pink boy touched the hair and in just a blink of an eye, his expression changed with a devilish smile.

"My, my my! Sir Viktor got something really interesting here. How do you know this lady? Are you her victim too? Do you want me to remove her curse from your body?"

"Don't worry. I'm not affected by her curse control. I'm here to negotiate."

"2 thousand gold per month and I will follow you until I'm done with the job."

Hehehehh!!! What a day! I get to have the main villain under my sleeve.

"Okay then. Let's get out of here and prepare your acting spot for you. From today, we will see each other very often. But we will act like we're strangers. But, come quickly over to my place when I call you. I'm your master from today after all."

Viktor gave him a small bag full of gold coins and said, "Here's your advance payment for this month. You will get the rest on the 15t of this month."

The pink boy was surprised to see that amount of money in his hand. So he started to follow him out of the slum.

Viktor was so happy to find his favourite hidden character in his story and the pink boy was happy to get 1 thousand gold in just a day.

They were both happy to acquire something really interesting.

Back at Viktor's room…

"Master, the hostage is in the basement. But he's not saying anything."

Adonis went inside his room and reported everything happened that day.

"I see. Let's go. I want to know why he wanted to kill me."

Viktor wore his white night clothes and took a red wine glass to walk downstairs. The stairs of the basement were too dark but it didn't bother him. It was as bright as a day to him.

His steps were creating an echo around the staircase and after some moment, the echo stopped.

He reached the bottom of the basement.

"Master. Here's all the worst and the most dangerous criminals that the duke captured. They didn't commit any sin that was punishable by the death sentence, so they are all prisoners here and they will stay here until their death."

Adonis lit a small light ball on his finger and took Viktor to the end of the basement.

Viktor stopped walking and saw a man with a black blindfold on his head and a rope inside his mouth to prevent him from committing suicide.

Adonis placed a chair in front of the criminal and Viktor took a seat to have a brief conversation with him. But he didn't say anything. Viktor went straight inside his records and found the hidden army of Elena. Half of the imperial knights were already under her control. And the man is also a part of her loyal army.

Viktor put his feet under the criminal's jaw and pushed his head up to see his face clearly. "I heard that you love Miss Elena. Is that true?"

The imperial knight didn't answer, but his answers were already being recorded on the record.

"I have another question to ask you. Would you be happy if I kill her?"

The knight's body started to act weird and the word "Kill Elena '' was enough to make him foam out of his mouth. His mind became lost to the point that Viktor refused to heal him.

"Adonis, enjoy your dinner."

Viktor stood up from the chair and went outside the cell to check on the other prisoners while Adonis was busy tearing apart the limbs and his neck to eat the fine parts of his body.

"Help!!!!! Aaaaaahhh!!! Help!!! Help!!! Aaaaaah!!!....."

The scream of Adonis's food and the sound of his bones cracking inside Adonis's mouth made the other prisoners scared to their death. They knew there was something really dangerous feeding off the new prisoner inside a cell next to theirs. And suddenly, Viktor gazed inside another cell where two people were hiding behind their dirty pillows.

The basement had only one source of dim light, but Viktor's silver eyes were visible to all of them. They were glowing like silver moons in the dark.

The two prisoners couldn't see Viktor's face, or his body. Only the glowing eyes were visible from the opposite side of the bars.

They became frightened by those eyes. But they didn't make a single sound out of their mouth.

The glowing eyes looked the other way and walked towards the other cells. So they felt like they got their life back inside their body again.

On my way here, I saw an unusual book above a prisoner's head that caught my attention. But where was that again?

He searched through all the cells and finally found the book he was looking for. A man with a missing arm and a silver book above his head. Viktor looked at that man with wide eyes and said,

'It's a parasite crest.'
