Rebirth: The Villainous Young Master Doesn't Want to Follow the Script
Chapter 46: Lotus Killer and High Elder

**************

Both Eclipse and Rheina walked at the hallway of the mansion in silence and Rheina noticed how most of the servants, maids or butlers alike, felt the familiar bloodlust that creeps out within their aura, just like the one maid who serves Eclipse earlier.

"No need to be on edge, Rheina. They won't attack unless they felt a threat then."

Rheina looked at Eclipse on her side as they walked towards the hallway to meet this person that Eclipse was talking about.

"Just where is this place, anyway? I don't have a good feeling about this."

Well, for all her life as an assassin, Rheina is sensitive to people's bloodlust, just like how she emits.

This place where they are right now reeks of that bloodlust and if she didn't restrain herself, she would have lost then.

Rheina also saw through the windows of the hallway that this place seemed like a secluded manor away from the main city as she could only see tall trees and the scent of the oceans around this territory.

'Just what really happened and how both of them ended up here? Also, who was that old man Sir Eclipse was talking about?'

Rheina noticed a presence that walked towards their direction, and she didn't know why but she immediately went to Eclipse's side and shielded him away as if to cover the young boy from any danger that lurks into this place.

'Geez! This might be the second time that I almost got worked up just to protect this young man from any danger.'

"Apologies, Third Young Master—"

A presence suddenly appeared at Eclipse's side and Rheina became alerted as she took out her hidden weapon to attack that person who just suddenly appeared on the young boy's side.

That person, a butler, who just appeared sense an incoming attack from his side and immediately withdraw before bloodshed could spread within this place.

"Rheina, STAND DOWN!"

Rheina immediately withdrew as well when Eclipse issued an order, but the assassin didn't let her guard down as she glared at the butler three steps away from them.

"Once again, this servant apologize for its rude behavior. My name is LENON, one of the butlers within this manor and this one would be the one to guide you at the Headmaster's office. Please this way, Third Young Master and the esteemed Lotus Killer, Lady Clandestine."

Rheina glared back at the butler named Lenon as he introduced himself while the butler was just smiling at them politely however the assassin could tell that this person was just assessing her and the young boy behind her.

'This rude b*stard….!'

"We are wasting our time here. Just lead the way."

Eclipse ordered and the butler Lenon complied as he smiled once again and left them for a while.

"Rheina."

She gulped as she didn't want to look at the young boy behind her because she didn't want to deal with his wrath as she had already experienced it firsthand!

'Crap! Darn instincts!'

The assassin heard the young boy sighed behind her back and move out from her behind and looked back at her.

"I know you're on edge because of this place but I'm not mad since you're just doing what your instincts tell you."

Eclipse walked past her and halted on his tracks but didn't look back at her.

"Well, at least now, I know when I'm with you…. I'll be saved then. Thanks for that."

After that, Eclipse left her behind in the middle of the hallway since Rheina couldn't get over what the cheeky young boy said.

She chuckled and shook off her head as she hurried to follow the young boy.

'What a shy little b*stard you are….'

......…..

..............

...................

*KNOCK!

*KNOCK!

*KNOCK!

Lenon, the butler, who guided them through the Headmaster's office knocked on the door three times; "Please excuse me, Headmaster. The Third Young Master and his companion are now here."

Rheina frowned as she looked at the door where the Headmaster of this manor resided and she couldn't help but feel anxious once more because…..

'Something tells me that I should prepare myself for whoever that person resides on the other side.'

After a minute without a response, Rheina noticed Eclipse's sudden irritation while glaring holes at the door in front of them and the assassin had the feeling that this young boy had already reached his limit.

"ARE YOU GOING TO F*CKING INVITE US INSIDE OR LET ME SMASH YOUR DOOR FOR YOU, YOU F*CKING OLD MAN?!"

Lenon, the butler who was with them, got startled because of the sudden burst coming from Eclipse as he looked at the young boy with wide eyes frightened for his life.

"Third Young Master, please! Conduct yourself in the presence of the Headmaster!"

'Just what the heck is this child thinking?! I know about the rumors about him for having a bad-tempered and ill-mannered personality but not to this extent!'

Lenon's composure had gone crack because of Eclipse's outburst and Rheina saw this as she couldn't help but chuckled while coughing to hide her laughter.

'This kid really knows how to maintain his image well! Also, that Lenon guy didn't expect this to happened and his composure crumbled because of what Sir Eclipse had done! Haha!'

After Eclipse calm down from his sudden outburst, a loud chuckle could be heard inside the Headmaster's office and the maids and butlers who were at the vicinity trembled in fear because it's rare for their master to laugh like that and they couldn't imagine what would happens next.

"Ho! That little cheeky b*stard had a nerve to shout at me like that! Hahaha! Well, let them in!"

Rheina stood stiff when she heard the voice coming from the inside and she couldn't help but to be shaken because she knew that familiar voice!

'W-what in the hell….?! N-no…. i-it…. C-can't be…...!'

Lenon, who got out from the stupor, shook off his head and cleared his throat to compose himself and pushed the door open for the two guests of his master.

"How could this be….. W-why is he here?!"

Rheina stared at the old man who's the Headmaster of this manor when the butler opened the door and have a looked of the person inside.

The old man, on the other hand, chuckled at the shock face from the familiar woman behind Eclipse.

"Pleasure to meet you, Lady Clandestine or should I refer to you as Lotus Killer of Arcanum De Fleur."
