Teaming Up With System 225

Prince of Acting (10)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Don't give up on love." Was the phrase that resounded through his mind for a while. It was what Alexis said to Raymond when she went to confess to her childhood friend.

It was almost like she was talking to him, the Host, and telling him not to give up on love. Even though giving up on love was easier said than done, being alone and running away from his problems hurt less.

There was nothing wrong with being single and living one's life. If people could find the joys in solitude, but still have their needs met, then it was fine. But for him, he fell too easily, fell too fast, and loved too hard. That was what hurt him the most in his original world. Love also hurt him throughout the Villain System even if he didn't love those people, but the originals did. All those originals (not all but most) got hurt in the name of love, so was it worth it?

Then he saw Damien, being by his side, adoring him, loving him, even though Alec said that he wanted to wait, Damien was patient.

How long could he wait though? Was it even fair for him to let Damien wait?

Alec arrived at the studio for his last scene in Everlasting Bloom.

It didn't take long for everyone to get ready and get into place.

It was the climax of the story and Prime Minister Vincent's death...

Vincent was leisurely walking through the palace with a bloody sword in his hands. His trusted subordinates around him were rushing to clear any obstacle that would hinder their master. Seeing former acquaintances, Vincent had no problems cutting them down. Anyone in his way would have a one-way ticket to the tip of his blade.

He had gathered three-quarters of the Royal Army and brought many court officials to his side. The remaining nobles were all loyal to the current monarch or wanted to take further advantage of their useless King. To see a man so capable, their benefits would be swept up and given to the people, something they didn't want to happen. This caused a war to happen within the country.

Many citizens were rooting for their Prime Minister to win the revolution. Seeing how kind he was to his territory, never leaving behind a single citizen, many people of different territories wanted to flock to him. When news spread that he was going to start a revolution, they calmed their hearts and waited for good news. Once this man was King, their Kingdom would be brought back to prosperity. Their useless greedy King would be no more. Someone who thought of the people would bring them out of poverty and into an era of peace!

Vincent finally reached the throne room and immediately opened it. He stood at the entrance, watching his personal guards eliminating all the guards around the King. Once the King was the only one left, Vincent finally entered through the door.

"My former King, it is quite the pleasure to see you here on this day," Vincent said with the same calm and cold voice he had always used with the King. It was as if today was just a regular day, not the day of the Revolution.

The King glared at Vincent, as per usual, but today was different. This glare had none of the forced tolerance, but it had ruthlessness and was full of bloodlust. "You think I didn't know about your Revolution?"

"If you didn't know then I would have been shocked by your stupidity." There wasn't a hint of formality in his words. All were words meant to put this greedy King in his place.
