A Destained Young Master Villain

Chapter 12 Trouble At Home



When Fiona woke up and gained awareness, she immediately glanced around, and Zen was nowhere to be found.

She rubbed her eyebrows, then said, "Why? Zen…"

She knew Zen had already set off for the Twilight Zone. As for thinking about how he was able to sneak out from the elite guards. She did not even think about it. As she was more worried about his safety going to the Twilight Zone.

Initially, she was beset with anxiety and restlessly moving about the room, unsure of the appropriate course of action.

Fiona made the decision to refrain from returning to her personal villa. She had made the resolution to remain present at this villa, eagerly awaiting his arrival. She would not depart until she laid eyes upon his secure and unharmed return.

Zen and Fiona individually possessed their own villa, a customary circumstance befitting their social standing.

They possessed a primary residence in which their parents resided, however, it is a common occurrence in this world for youngsters to exhibit early independence and maturity, aspiring to establish their own separate dwellings in society. It proved to be rather effortless to coordinate the accommodation of the villas for their residence.

"What if he gets injured, or worse, dies in the Twilight Forest?" Fiona muttered with a pale face.

Although she knew that Zen had brought a lot of things with him that could protect and save his life, Fiona could not help but be worried.

She was worried sick for three straight days. She did not eat much and would be unable to sleep at night, uneasy about him going to such a dangerous area without even having someone accompany him.

Elite guards and Zen's personal maid also came to Fiona, asking where he was. As they have not seen him for three days straight.

It was normal for him not to be seen lingering around the villa for three days because Zen would always be in his room and his personal underground training area.

The only one's who could see him was his personal maid, who brought him his food and daily necessities.

Fiona informed them in a concise manner that he was currently engaging in rigorous training, diligently solidifying his skills, and acquainting himself proficiently with his newly attained power, as he had recently achieved a breakthrough in the realm of Intermediate swordsmanship.

The elite guards thought it was reasonable, and they just went back to their station to guard.

As for Marie, when she goes to Zen's room to deliver his breakfast, lunch, and dinner, Fiona will simply take the food Marie brings and close the door on her.

Marie initially accepted Fiona's excuse, however, now she has not laid eyes upon the young master for a period of five days.

She began harboring suspicions due to the abnormality of the situation.

She then asked Fiona again with a skeptical face, "Young lady Fiona, where really is young mast—?"

Just as Marie was about to finish her words, Fiona again slammed the door on her face.

What Fiona didn't know was that Marie was actually a Magister! A Magister rank mage! A ranked mage that can destroy a city if she wants to. She was a secret protector of Zen, placed in his villa. She was assigned by Elle as Zen's protector.

To be honest, she could see and sense everything that happened in the entire villa if she wanted to, but she did not want to barge into Zen's privacy.

But now that she felt something suspicious was going on. She immediately released her Magister aura, covering the entire ten-mile radius.

To her surprise, she could not feel Zen's presence at all.

Conversely, Fiona was positioned behind the door. She was becoming slightly perturbed. She was aware that she could no longer deceive Marie.

Given the fact that Marie served as Zen's personal maid and was in constant attendance with him on a daily basis, it is reasonable to assume that she possesses a deep understanding of Zen's personality.

She knew that Marie was starting to doubt her.

The only thing Fiona can do now is just pray that Zen will arrive safe and sound soon.

Fiona had thoughts on her mind, [Zen, where are you?! Please come home soon and be safe.]

She made a promise to Zen that she wouldn't tell their parents about him sneaking out. But it had been five days, and she was contemplating whether to just tell their parents about it.

Fiona set her mind on telling their parents that if Zen was still not back by tomorrow. She would immediately contact Elle and Randell. Telling them about the current situation of Zen.

Just as she was busy with her thoughts. Marie suddenly barged into the room and arrived in front of Fiona. She asked her with a serious expression, "Young lady, please tell me the truth. Where is young master Zen? I am unable to sense his presence at all."

Fiona was astonished to observe the manifestation of the Magister's aura enveloping Marie.

She was cognizant of the fact that concealing Zen's actions any further was no longer feasible. She clenched her jaw and proceeded to honestly disclose the whereabouts of Zen.

Marie was shocked. "What!! He is in the Twilight Forest!? Why didn't you inform Lady Elle and Lord Randell?!"

Fiona responded with a pleading tone, "Please… Please, Marie, don't inform them for now and wait until tomorrow. If he is still not back by tomorrow, I was planning to contact them."

Marie asked with a cold tone, "Why?! For all we know, he could be in danger right now as he has not returned for five days."

"Actually, the reason why he told me where he was going to go was because I promised him that I would not tell our parents about it. I do not want to trouble him anymore.

"I've already caused him enough issues by barging into his family. We just made up, and If I broke my promise, I would also lose his trust again. You also know Zen is strong, so there shouldn't be any trouble he would not be able to handle at that place." Fiona explained that she responded to Marie with moist eyes.

Despite Zen expressing his acceptance of her inclusion into their family, she still experienced a slight sense of remorse regarding the matter.

Marie refused at first, but under Fiona's persuasion, she reluctantly agreed. She also pitied this girl, who was going through so much at such a young age.

Of course Marie knew how strong Zen was, as even Bundoc lost to Zen during the sparring battle. She also knew that if Zen went to the Twilight Zone, he should've brought many life saving methods.

Marie then told Fiona with a tight lipped smile, "Make sure to contact Lady Elle and Duke Randell by tomorrow if the young master has not come back yet."

Marie departed, leaving behind Fiona, who displayed reddened eyes and prominent, dark circles beneath them.

After the ordeal, Fiona found herself unable to resist the urge to lay down on Zen's bed, her complexion drained and fatigued from five consecutive sleepless nights.

Who knew that she would be facing such a situation when she simply wanted to come and talk to Zen.
