Fear.
Regret.
Self-blame.
This would be Instructor Max’s life cycle for the next few years, but that’s if he manages to actually last that long.
After finding a convenient excuse to retire from the military, he didn’t think he’d feel that fear of being hunted again.
And who would’ve known that the nightmares that haunted him would now physically hunt him just because of one mistake?
But that’s what narcissists would think when trying to justify their actions.
For what about all those students who didn’t have the same mental fortitude (ehem) as Luca Kyros?
However, Instructor Max was not one to think about others, even as he ran around like a mouse. A mouse who was now trapped in a planet brought by one furious cat.
And that cat was Duke Leander Kyros, who got word from one of the manor’s servants about people talking about the prowess of the next Duke.
Obviously, they would click, and sure as hell, they would all like the posts. And they were so excited to see how people praised their Young Lord’s greatness that they started to dig up more content.
And then they found it: a thread of a few students talking about how they felt the turnout of this battle had avenged them.
Avenged?
From what?
From being bullied and mistreated by an Instructor.
And that rang the alarm bells for the people of the Duchy who initially thought that the duel was part of the standard class.
It was a frenzied search for the truth, and with many heads looking and asking around, they finally got to the bottom of it.
Butler Gary practically entered the Duke’s office and skipped all the fanfare to declare that the Duchy was likely going to war.
And the Butler’s call was right.
The Duke was ready to barge in and called the military to hold that bastard down.
It was just that he was a tad bit too late.
For the sacked instructor had already lost his benefits and was on his way to being tried.
But maybe that would be after he’s recovered.
If he’d be able to recover.
Because the Duke mysteriously got word that the bastard would be allowed back into his home planet to get whatever he deemed he needed for the trial.
And the message just came with:
"For your disposal."
What a fantastic gift, thought the Duke, who didn’t hesitate to acquire said planet for this game of cat and mouse.
The original plan was to clean him up entirely, but only after forcing him to run around like prey that had been given false hopes.
But when he learned just how many people had issues with the guy, the Duke decided it would be best to return the favor.
He just didn’t expect an odd reaction from someone he’d never even seen before.
Well, of course, it’d be difficult to remember a fly on the wall, but it was different for the instructor who had imagined him as the main culprit for his life’s failure.
And nothing was worse than realizing that the person you hated, despised, and cursed for nearly half your life couldn’t even remember your name.
It was a devastating blow. frёewebnoѵēl.com
The ex-instructor couldn’t wrap his head around the fact that he’d never even entered his sworn enemy’s radar.
But this wasn’t what everyone from the Duchy expected, which resulted in a change of plans. Because the guy just talked to the Duke and ended up going nuts soon after.
Wow.
Was this the power of their Duke?
Or was he that maddening that just a few lines from him could drive someone crazy?
However, Duke Leander couldn’t care less as he was still unsatisfied.
