Things continued as they were until Rayo turned 15. The nobles of the kingdom began to die one by one at the hands of a serial killer they called the Purple Death because he possessed a terrifying, textured aura that the servants could glimpse, knowing that the noble residing in that palace would never see the next day.
One dark night in the Arnouv family palace, although everyone was asleep, Rayo wandered through the palace corridors towards the master's office. Upon entering, he found no one there. He approached a file on the desk and read the inscription:
Name: "Mantes Leon Hart"
Rank: "Count"
Mission: "Kill the Count and his son quickly"
Note: "Burn the file after reading it."
Rao whispered, "Understood." The file turned to dust in an instant and moved towards the gate of Leon Hart's palace, saying, "And it's over."
The following morning, news spread of the death of Mantz Leonhardt and his son from the Purple Death.
Rayo was at the academy where everyone was talking about the Purple Death and the terror it was spreading throughout the kingdom.
It was also the day the results were released, and as usual, Rayo excelled in all subjects, ranking first in the entire school.
At dusk, Rayo was in the palace, specifically in his room, meditating as a form of exercise to increase the intensity of his aura. At that moment, Mr. Arnouf was speaking with an unknown person.
Unknown: "What about the plan?"
Mr. Arnouf: "Everything is going according to plan, sir."
Unknown: "What about the boy?"
Mr. Arnouf: "He's doing his job perfectly, but..."
Unknown: "But what?"
Mr. Arnouf: "He's developed beyond expectations, and his power has reached family levels."
Unknown: "Like what?"
Mr. Arnouf: "I don't know exactly, but I'm certain that with his current strength, he could wipe the kingdom off the map in just half a day."
Unknown: "And what do you think we should do?"
Mr. Arnouf: "Don't worry, I'll get rid of him as soon as the mission is over."
Unknown: "Very well, I'll leave it to you."
Mr. Arnouf: "I won't let you down."
The unknown person disappeared into the shadows.
