After the duel, most things had returned to how they used to be, but the memory lingered in their minds for days. It was not something that would be easily forgotten. But regardless of all that, Silva had better things to do. Aside from classes, he was to meet Dawn and see the mercenary group. He also had the void tickets, the school labyrinth, and a few other things. He even waited through every class so that he could head to his room and get into the void labyrinth. Silva had noticed one thing, though: his brother, Oliver, was not in class all through today. He didn't know why that was, but he had a bad feeling. --- Inside the council lounge, Oliver stood before the president, the number one seat of the council. "Oliver Terron, the son of the Duke, the first son to be precise. I know you are wondering as to why I called you here; it's weird for the council president to suddenly ask for a first-year in private. But I feel there is an issue that both of us can align with. And that issue is Silva Terron, the one who walked into your life and caused things to go from worse to worst. I understand that your position as the heir to the Terron name was already in doubt because of your sister and her crazy talent. But even then, you could survive; you could still hope that all would be okay, and you just had to work hard to prove that you are the right one for the name. You dedicated your life and all your strength to become the one that would be the heir, and when you were catching up, Silva shows up in the picture. And I understand your pain and how you feel because he is not only disrupting your life, he is also disrupting this academy. Get the latest from m-vl-emp _yr. He will do the same to you." The president said and leaned back, using his hands to hold his head up a bit. "How do you mean, what will he do?" Oliver asked. "Oh, that is simple. You will hate him, and hate him, and hate him. And that will cause you to lose focus on being the heir, and your sister will ascend. You will become miserable and want to go rogue or kill yourself, or even kill Silva. But then he will come with a solution for you, an unexpected yet extremely tasty solution. He may come and say something like, 'She is your sister, if you asked, she would give you the position.' And she will, because she and Silva would have made the plot together as a team, and she will let you become the heir, but not without signing several contracts. And you will sign, because you are at your lowest, and they have offered you redemption at the price of some little conditions. That's what you will think, little conditions, though they aren't little at all, but you will be unable to see them. And after you sign your soul away, you become the Duke in name, but you will never really have real control. You will be their puppet, and they will control you. At this point, Silva has won. He has manipulated you into becoming his puppet and shield. Whatever shit happens will be put on you, and you will be their scapegoat. This is the reality that may befall you if Silva's plans fall into place for you." The president finished. Oliver was petrified and shocked. He was scared of what the president had said because all these were his worst nightmares. He had to make up his mind now and do exactly what the president said. That may be his only way out of such a dark future.
