[System Alert: You have executed Great Knight Ray, your follower of many years. +2000 Villain Points.]
[System Goal: Continue on this path to become The Ultimate Villain.]
The sudden system notification nearly sent Alistair stumbling. The knight beside him quickly steadied him, his movements cautious.
Alistair was so exasperated he almost laughed. I earned Villain Points for ridding the world of a pest? System, can you explain why?
[System Alert: The ignorant masses are merely cowed by your ruthlessness, while your own knights are terrified by your lack of mercy.]
Alistair's expression turned to ice. He scanned the face of the knight beside him, noting his fearful expression and shifting eyes. "Tell me what you think of this matter," Alistair said suddenly. "I want your true thoughts."
"My lord, I… well…" The knight's face was a mask of panic, and he stammered, unable to form a coherent sentence.
"That was an order."
