The Death Flagged Villain’s Viewpoint

As the man finished his words, Becca replied indifferently.

”Indeed its been a long time eldest brother ” she said while being alert for any sudden movement.

”Ohh, why so stiff my little sister? ”, The robed man said with a playful smile plastered on his face.

”Enough with your act, brother, I already know your purpose. ” Becca said with alertness in her red eyes.

”then are you ready to die? For that kid? ” The man said with seriousness in his voice.

”I am ” Becca said while looking at me with smile on her face.

”Hah, Whatever spell that boy inflicted on you really made you pathetic Rebecca. ” The man said

”Whooo, looks like the most talented in the generation of the Godfrey will die huh. ” the man said while unsheating his blades that came out of nowhere.

*swish*

*clank* *clank*

”I won show mercy this time Rebecca. ” the man said while twirling his omnious looking daggers.

”I know… ” Becca said while taking out hers as well.

”…Brother ” she said while releasing her aura that quickly covered the whole forest.

”Becca… ” I said while looking at her with worry and helplessness.

”Its fine young master and I hope you can forgive me ” Becca said while getting close to me.

*snap*

”Wha- ” before I finish my words she already knocked me out cold.

###

*3rd pov*

In the outskirts of the forest, Arnold was already on his knees, full of blood alongside dozens of corpses. A strong stench of blood can be smelled, if one can see this scene, he or she will surely puke nor faint because of shock and discomfort.

Arnold was already at his limits, his left arm was already cut off, his body was full of wounds from head to toe, and he also can open his left eye due to the wound that was there.

*drip*

*drip*

*drip*

”Looks like you all grew up pretty quickly, eh. ” Arnold said with a little smile

Despite what theyve done to him, he was still proud.

Yes proud, proud of the students he mentored, he was proud that they become strong on their own right.

He can still remember when he first met them, they are still wet behind their ears yet now, they are formidable in their own right.

Yet he can also feel sadness, regret, and melancholy, remembering the little boy who was with him all the time, his smiles that bring light on his already dark and tainted world.

Sighing, he started to accept his incoming death and peace once and for all.

*sigh*

”Looks like we can celebrate your birthday today, young master, ” Arnold said while looking at the sky that had its moon as its witness to his upcoming demise.

*Whoosh* *whoosh* *whoosh*

Suddenly dozens of figures with daggers in their hands dash towards his position, aiming to end his life. yet he was mumbling something before he met his demise, no, rather than mumbling he was praying….

Yes, he was praying not for himself but for the boy, who he has served for years, the boy alongside his mother that treated him as family, and the same can also be said on how he treated them. A family he holds dear with his life, despite not being blood-related nor coming from the same roots.

All his life Arnold always believed that the strong shall always prevail, not until he met that pair of mother and son that taught him how big life was.

How important every life the world has.

”God if you even exist, theres only one prayer I have….. ” Arnold said while seeing the pairs of daggers coming to pierce his body.

”…Let that boy live a good life. ” Arnold said while closing his eyes.

*Swoosh* *Swoosh*

*Slash!* *Slash!*

Dozens of blades have pierced Arnold, from his upper body towards his legs except from his face and some minor parts of his body, his whole body was a mess.

*kuhg!* *kuhg!*

*Splat* *Splat*

Coughing while trying to still maintain his consciousness, Arnold cough out volumes of blood from his mouth.

Opening his eyes one last time, he sees the figure of both the boy and his mother smiling happily towards him, saying the words.

”Arnold lets play. ” said the boy

”Arnold always be careful, ok? ” said the boy again

”Live your life with no burden, Arnold. ” while this one was said by the same woman he regretted not protecting.

Smiling for the one last time, he blurted out the words.

”I hope I didn disappointed you, madam and young master. ”

Releasing the daggers that was in his body, the assassins take a step back and watch their mentor go to his final destination…..

*Schwaa*

Death

*Thud*

”Looks like Im going to sleep for a while. ” Arnold said while closing his eyes for the one final time.

*On another part of the forest*

A man can be seen kneeling in front of a woman that was already on the ground full of blood and cuts on her body.

Her white skin was already drenched with blood and her eyes that were pure red seemed to be losing their life, while the man was still untouched rather he was still the same even if they battle it out.

”Why you must go through all this sister, just for a boy who wasn even related with you by blood. ” The man said with anger and grievance in his voice.

Grievance towards the boy with purple eyes…..

Grievance towards his sister that he already warned about his young masters imminent death…..

Grievance towards his lack of knowledge on how her lovely little sister ended up like this.

”Just WHY!!?? Just why both you and uncle Arnold will go through such lengths for that boy!!?? ” the man said with sorrow and pain in his voice.

”E-Eldest b-brother, you will u-understand it once in y-your life why I s-sacrificed m-myself for h-him. ” Becca said with difficulty and with a forced smile on her face.

Holding her frail body the man continued to look at her with teary eyes.

”Just why sister? Why did you even defied fathers orders just for that man? ” the man said to Becca.

Despite them being half-siblings the man or to be precise, Rafael the mans real name. Rafael raised and doted on Becca when she was young, he was a mentor alongside Arnold that taught her the way of an assassin. Their father won even give a ** about them dying.

The patriarch of the Godfrey clan was a cold man who only thinks about profits he got 12 wives with offspring on each of them, he believed in the rule of the jungle that the strong always prevails. If one of his children died then its their fault on being weak.

Rafael on the other hand only cared about the betterment of his siblings, he was also the main reason why Becca ended up in the Valentine duchy, he didn want her to experience the brutal ways of the world early in her life. Being the youngest Rafael doted on her so much, he raised her with care and love yet…..

here he was holding her dying body and the daggers that injured her to the point of death.

All he can feel was irony towards this world

”What a cruel world ” He said while looking the sky.

*kugh* *kugh*

*splat*

Becca coughed blood and Rafael looked at her body with sorrow in his eyes.

”S-Sister p-please don leave me. ” Rafael said while tears already poured out in his eyes.

*swoop*

Taking out a potion on his ring, rafael unbottled the potion with red and green liquid on it.

*pop!*

”Sister drink this potion please! ” Rafael said while pushing the potion into Beccas mouth.

*glug* *glug* glug*

The bottle was almost half yet Beccas condition was still not getting better.

”Please, Becca! ” Rafael said with tears pouring out on his eyes.

”I-Its no use brother…..M-My death was already c-coming…..I-Its just I-i hope young master was always safe. Becca said while looking his brother.

”P-Please protect him i-in my s-stead. ” She added

Rafaels face crunched yet he can do anything but nod his head with anger.

”I-I understand Becca. ” He said while forcing himself to say those words.

”T-Thank you Brother…..F-For everything. ” Becca said while smiling.

*thud*

”B-Becca?….. ”

He called a few times yet none…..

All answer he gets was none…

Sadness, regret and sorrow was all he can feel this time while holding her sisters body.

Standing up while carrying Beccas body, he disappeared without a trace and regrouped with the others.

*Swoosh*
