Rebirth: The Villainous Young Master Doesn't Want to Follow the Script
Chapter 19: Arcanum De Fleur

*********

In the world plot of [Mystique Enchantress], aside from the school romance settings for the novel's heroine and her six male leads, there are other forces that were mentioned within the course of the story.

Although at the mention of [other forces], it doesn't mean they hold a much important role within the whole novel.

One of the major forces that was mentioned in the novel is the ARCANUM DE FLEUR.

Arcanum De Fleur is a group of notorious hired assassins, and their base is unknown to everyone else. Their identities are not easily identifiable.

However, they always leave a type of flower on the body of the person they killed who commissioned them for the killing.

As for how to make a transaction with these people? Simple. The answer is already in their group's name.

« ….. Secret of the Blossom Flower …. »

In order to have an audience with one member of Arcanum De Fleur, they only need to make a flower offering ONCE A MONTH on the night when the moon shines brightly.

To choose acceptable flower offerings, one must be cautious because each flower has its own meaning. Be careful because once the flower offerings have been done and accepted, there is no turning back.

Would that work? Who knows?

.....

.......

This is the only vague description that was provided in the world plot of [Mystique Enchantress] because, well, let's just say it's the fault of the original minor villain.

Yeah, that's right. It was none other than him, the minor villain Ezekiel Zephyr Chevalier.

'Just thinking about the stupidity that I have done; it makes me want to strangle my old self for doing such foolish things! Argh!'

In his previous life, when his biological mother, Aryna Asterrix, died from an unknown cause, his temper became erratic and sometimes when someone tried to touch him without reason, he would resort to violence and became paranoia.

And the fault lies to none other than the current Marchioness of this household, Charlotte Ainsielle Fleener-Chevalier.

'I won't stop from here and she will pay for the humiliation that I experienced, whether in the previous timeline or the current timeline. Let's see if you could raise your head up for the rest of your life!'

When his mother died, the Marchioness' true nature revealed, and she preyed on the younger him to resort for such shameful acts that he didn't want to.

When that happened, he was too young but understood what had occurred to him since his mother had taught him everything and he wasn't that sheltered much since they lived far away from the Empire before the Marquis people found them.

'Their life would be much easier away from the social and political intrigues of the noble society if the Marquis people wouldn't have found them.'

Or much better, Eclipse preferred that his father wasn't Marquis Chevalier.

If his father were a normal man, a wealthy commoner perhaps like her mother's family, his life in the previous one would be much better compared to being a child of a noble.

As for what the Marchioness had done to him, no one would believe his words. Who would believe the words of an illegitimate child like Eclipse?

'They would accuse me of slandering the Marchioness' reputation and dignity instead. Tsk!'

Since no one would help him, he resorted to something that would free him from the clutches of the Marchioness.

When he entered the academy in his sophomore year on his previous timeline, he heard whispers about the Arcanum De Fleur at the academy due to an incident where assassins killed a benevolent noble.

However, upon investigation, it shows that the noble who got killed by the Arcanum De Fleur is nothing but a devil in disguise as this supposed benevolent noble was colliding with the enemy's Empire and selling out its own people for its benefits.

'There is a little information of the Arcanum De Fleur that was mentioned in the world plot of [Mystique Enchantress] since they weren't that important in the main storyline.

They were just mentioned because of me, the minor villain, who requested a commission for them to kill the Marchioness in the previous timeline.'

However, because of that reckless decision, it became one of the crimes that pinned on his head and he would admit that he was wrong to make such a decision without considering the consequences.

But he was just a child back then, without the support of his so-called family ever since his mother died, and he is an outsider within the Marquis Chevalier household.

He is the victim, yet no one tried to figure out why he did such a thing? They just condemn him without having a proper trial and not just that, there were other crimes that were placed on his head that he didn't know where it came from and frame him all the way and turned him into a scapegoat.

Now that he had returned to this hellish worldline, Eclipse wouldn't make the same mistake that he had made before.

'Argh! Although I had forgotten most of my life as Ezekiel but the trauma from the previous timeline still lingers to the point where it became real instead of an act.'

About the recent scandal that is now circulating within the noble society, it's all part of his plan.

'The best revenge for those who had harmed him isn't death, but the humiliation that will follow them for the rest of their lives.'

This wouldn't affect much the reputation of the Marquis Chevalier household because of their high status within the noble society, but would only serve as a dark history in their family records.

And this incident is the fault of none other than the Marchioness who has been under house arrest without further notice until now.

'In the previous timeline, I made a terrible mistake and as a result, it bites me back and it added to the other crimes that I committed.'

But in this current timeline, Eclipse set up a trap for the Marchioness and let her family to see what a shameless woman she was and now, she would live this kind of humiliation for the rest of her life!

Of course, Eclipse wouldn't be able to do this alone like how he usually does since he had Silver before, but right now, he only had his system interface and nothing else.

Besides, his current body is too weak for any dangerous tasks that's why he had no choice but to once again, commissioned an order by one of the members of Arcanum De Fleur however, he didn't commission to kill this time but for cooperation.

And the irony of this situation because the ones who he requested for a commission for the death of the Marchioness in his previous life would be the same person who cooperated with him to accomplish his revenge in the current timeline.

That person right now who stood in front of him while in disguise to infiltrate this household as one of the servants that goes by the name Nariana.

It's none other than the Leader of Arcanum De Fleur, known as the Lotus Killer…. Rheina Clandestine.
