Eirlys/Lord Astor                        {Eirlys' thoughts}

---------------------------------------------

"Failed?"

"Yes, my lord."

"A failed mission. 

Explanation?"

"Ummm..." 

"Eirlys. Did you forget something?" 

{No stuttering.}

"Prince Lucien has a new aide." 

"New aide?"

"Yes, a farm girl to be exact."

"A farm girl? 

What an amusing piece of news. 

Our elite team was set back by a farm girl?"

{The more he smiles, the gentler his voice gets, the angrier he is. And one does not wish to make Lord Astor angry. It is rumored among commoners that he will vaporize you if you anger him,  but I know better. It's way worse than evaporating you.}

"It seems like that farm girl possesses some unusual power." 

"As in... are we going to play a guessing game?" 

{Why am I even the one reporting this extremely bad news to him. Those who has first hand news should do it themselves! Who am I? I am just an orphan girl taken in by Astor on a whim! I am just a ward trained to be his assistant!} 

"It is still not certain."

"Pardon?"

"According to the report from our spies, that farm girl took in the injured Prince Lucien and his subjects. 

And the next thing we knew, that farm girl was included in their group. 

Team Apollo went to intercept Prince Lucien, but was defeated by some unknown power. 

A power that certainly does not belong to any single member of Prince Lucien's group, unless one of them has two powers and was hiding that second power. 

Our spies also reported that the farm girl was born and raised in the village. 

She hasn't shown any kind of power, even something as mundane as turning flower into grass, before meeting Prince Lucien. 

So she has never received any training."

"Intriguing. 

An unknown power. Things finally start to get interesting, don't you agree, Eirlys? 

Lucien and his gang is seriously starting to bore me." 

{He is smiling. The same smile he had when he took me in. On days like this, how I wish a nice gentle old lady took me in. I would love to be a scullery maid instead.}

"Yes, my lord."

"Let's see where our little mouse is hiding. 

Send out Agent 4."

{The water controller who also has mind reading ability. It is not uncommon to have two powers. I really have to give myself an applause for remembering all 20 agents and their respective power. (I spent a lot of time remembering that list by heart, especially when that list is ever changing because of agents dropping dead left and right.)}

"Yes, my lord."

"Eirlys, it's the third times you used that phrase. 

Don't you have another response? 

I am starting to get bored." 

{What do you expect me to say? 'I don't think so, my lord'?}

"Eirlys, if you want to retort, say it to my face. 

Your face betrays you." 

{Am I that transparent?}

"Yes, and I'm not even a mind reader. 

Fine, I will stop torturing you. 

You're dismissed, Eirlys."

Author's note

Hi everyone!Thank you for giving this story a try! I hope you had fun reading it. This is just the first chapter, so just introducing the characters.

This is going to be a short story and I have already finished writing it! I got an inspiration to write a story about a villain and his sidekick and I really love writing dialogues. So I give this idea a try. It turns out really well. 

I will post a new chapter every 3 days. Hope to see you next time!

P.S. Eirlys means snowdrop XD Isn't it a pretty name?
