Ascension Of The Villain

In a world where villains are crafted, not born, Vyan's life takes a detour from dull to downright dramatic faster than he can say "abracadabra." Meet Vyan, the most ordinary knight in the realm, with all the magical prowess of a damp sock. Loyalty? He's got it in spades. Betrayal? Well, that's the surprise twist in his not-so-fairy-tale life. Framed and forsaken, Vyan is left with nothing but a grudge and some pretty gnarly scars, courtesy of his once-master, Iyana. Oh, did he mention she is the daughter of a marquess and the object of his unrequited affection? Talk about adding insult to injury. Just when he is ready to unleash his inner berserker, a butler comes along with news that makes his hair stand on end: Vyan is the last heir of the Grand Duke's mage dynasty! With power crackling at his fingertips and more mana than he can shake a wand at, Vyan is ready to show the world what happens when you underestimate the underdog. Will Vyan rise from the ashes like a phoenix, or will he crash and burn like a fire-breathing chicken? There's only one way to find out.

"You wouldn't dare," Vyan said, his voice low and laced with venom.

Celeste's expression hardened. "Don't test me. I would."

A mocking smile tugged at his lips. "Oh, Your Imperial Majesty, you are the one who shouldn't test me." His eyes glinted with challenge. "Because trust me, if I go down, I am not going down alone. I will make sure to drag you and your precious kids along with me. So," he shrugged, "go ahead—make your choice."

Her face blanched, but she didn't back down. "Vee, there is no way you will get Aster out without exposing yourself."

Vyan's smile grew wider, sardonic. "And you would know that how exactly? Some sudden divine insight, perhaps?" he questioned, tilting his head in a mocking manner. 

Celeste's eyes flashed with frustration. "Okay, then. Fine, tell me what is your plan," she demanded, the desperation creeping into her voice.
