The destruction continued inside the master\'s room while Mr. C was still talking with the general. Linius could still feel the ominous feeling and he did not want to leave. He wanted to take a look inside of the master\'s room.

"What\'s really happening?" Linius asked with a frown. His eyes were now narrowed because of the obvious lie that the butler was spouting.

From that small crack when the butler opened the door, he saw that the room was completely submerged in darkness. He could see some black particles swirling inside and even the floor was covered with something black. Something must have happened.

"The master will tell you once he calms down right now, let him be. I don\'t want you getting swept away by his madness or do you want to try?" The butler suddenly became honest.

The sudden suggestion caught the general by surprise. He did not expect the butler to suddenly change his tone. "What do you mean?"

"It is what I already said. You can go ahead and try to face the master\'s madness. I just hope that you survive and return with your mind still intact," the butler did not explain anything and just added to the curiosity that was overcoming the general.

He wondered why the butler was stalling him when all he did was ask if something happened to the master. Linius stepped back and looked at the butler, "I won\'t and I will leave now." He still managed to control himself and left without even waiting for the butler\'s response.

Mr. C watched as the general left and when he turned the corner, the butler decided to re-enter the room. The corrosion inside the room did not subside as the master was still laughing and grinning. He was leaning on his seat and suddenly started to hum.

The dark particles in the space started to swirl around the room. The remaining furniture started to float and disintegrate as it joined the swirl. Mr. C loyally stood on the side to wait for his master to return to his own self. That situation continued for an hour before the master finally opened his eyes and the swirling inside the room stopped.

The ashes fell down on the ground. The room\'s state was like a burned house. The walls became black and even the floor bore the proof of the master\'s madness. There were no words exchanged inside the room even though the master was already calm and collected.

"Do you want to drink tea?" Mr. C asked after a while and when he deemed that the master was now ready to talk.

"Yes, I want chamomile," the master answered. "I felt like I could use some of its calming effects because I am not calm yet. I feel like I am about to burst out in happiness!" His eyes widened when he suddenly realized what he was saying. "So, this is happiness."

The exclamation made the butler stop. He raised his brows and looked at the ecstatic expression on the master. If this was happiness, then what were the expressions that he had seen other people wear? They were happy when something good happened to them, well technically something good happened to the master but it was not the same.

Cygnus was happy because he found an enemy that he could defeat. It was an enemy that he had no qualms of destroying. His master\'s standard of happiness was truly beyond being normal. He shook his head and instead served the tea that he prepared.

A table was pulled out from their dimensional storage and placed in front of the master. He then placed the tea and slowly pushed it towards the master. Cygnus closed his eyes as he inhaled the aroma that was coming from the tea.

"How is it master?" the butler asked after he saw that the master had his eyes closed. He made sure that the tea would be perfect for his master\'s taste.

"It\'s good," he extended his hand and reached out for the tea. He took a sip and the effect became better. "This tea is really helpful so many times."

Mr. C watched in silence as the master enjoyed the tea that he prepared. The room was once again covered in silence. When the master was halfway through his tea the butler decided to ask some more questions to clearly understand his master\'s intention so that he could make some necessary preparations.

"What will you do now, master? Now that you have identified the identity of that person?" He finally asked and this made the master laugh.

"What do you suppose I should do? Let them run around and have a good life when I experienced suffering because of them? That\'s not my style. Since that man is related to the Hero Association, taking control of that piece of the kingdom is much more meaningful now." Cygnus stroked his chin before he leaned back on his chair and grinned at the butler.

He already killed that Magus Maximus so why should he spare that man when he was also involved with what happened during that time. No one in that dreary world who had wronged him would live their happy long lives. At that moment, he suddenly thought of something amusing.

"What if I kill even their family generation? That would be fun!" Cygnus\'s eyes brightened even more because of what he thought. It was a brilliant idea and if the descendants of those people were all the citizens of the kingdom, it was also not a problem.

"That would be ideal but are you sure about it master?" Mr. C didn\'t have any problems with the master\'s way of thoughts but he might change his mind.

"The original plan was to find a place where we can live peacefully but now that things have come so far, I might as well destroy it too," Cygnus answered.

Now that the butler has an idea of what might happen, he ought to prepare some things and make sure that all of the people that they trusted would be able to make it for the master\'s sake. He started to mentally list the candidates of people who could stay with the master once the world was destroyed. It was better to be prepared than to lack something in the future.

Cygnus could also hear even the butler\'s words even though he was exactly not human. "You are thinking far too much in the future." He commented as he looked at the butler who was already a bit lost in his own thoughts.

Mr. C snapped back to reality and looked at the master. "I am only preparing for the worst. You\'ve destroyed many things before so I should make sure that none of us will die this time too."

Cygnus laughed because of the butler\'s remark. After the butler\'s update on his system, he felt different and there was more expression on his face right now. The master didn\'t know if he should be happy about it. He let it go for now and focused on what he must be doing.

After finishing his tea, the master summoned Ignius who was still busy with his task. The dragon was grumbling because of the abruptness of the call that he gave the master a glare. He slouched on the new couch that the butler took out from the dimensional storage.

"You did a great job," the master suddenly said, which made the dragon look at him with a frown.

He did not understand why the master was suddenly praising him when he couldn\'t remember what he did. The dragon\'s eyes jumped to the butler who had been remaining silent on the side. He was looking for an explanation but the butler remained steadfast and kept his silence.

"I found one of the people on your list and luckily enough he is affiliated with the that Acasia, isn\'t that great!? I think after a thousand years, fate is already working in my favor," the master happily told him the news.

The dragon was confused at first but then he slowly understood what the master said. After hearing the news, he too couldn\'t help but grin. "Are we going to play with him now?"

"Of course, we will play with him." The master nodded and laughed because of how fast the dragon\'s mood had changed. "How about the others have you confirmed their identities?" He then asked.

"Not yet. Oh, by the way how did you even confirm the man\'s identity?" The dragon then asked after he realized that the master recognized the man.

"From some old memory. As you know, I just got a little bit of my original memory since Ari is guarding it tightly so I could only recognize that man. As for the others, I\'m not sure if their faces will trigger some more memories," Cygnus answered.

Ignius nodded. It was very convenient for them if the master could recall but if he does then his fun would be stopped. They all knew that once the master recovers all of his memories then he would cause destruction without them enjoying the process. He was content with doing the job and verifying the identity of those people rather than letting the master go on a rampage.
