I Became the Villain's Master - Chapter 101
Chapter 101
Allen prayed to the God Moreus, searching for him.
He had merely kicked a stone, thinking nothing of it, but the magic reacted!
No matter how he looked at it, it was clear that the supervisor had set a trap to make him suffer.
“It’s too much to get fired for causing an accident on my first assignment…”
He couldn’t face his parents back home.
Allen barely held back his tears and humbly accepted what was to come.
“Everyone, maintain your guard!”
The supervisor, who had come running, quickly rallied the knights.
In the midst of the confusion, the two mages present on the scene immediately raised their magic.
Woosh-
Blue magic mingled with gray magic in the air. The powerful magic clashed with the gray magic, and a faint collision of magic occurred.
“Don’t worry.”
The knights relaxed their posture at the mage’s voice. And then, as if by magic, the gray magic lost its form and disappeared.
“…That’s.”
The knights stared blankly at the sight, and Allen was also in shock. Something big seemed to have happened…
The mage’s expression was not as dark as he had expected.
As he was thinking this, a mage with red hair and sharp, violet eyes approached Allen, staring at him.
‘This is the end.’
Allen, sensing that something unbearable was happening, closed his eyes tightly.
“I’m, I’m sorry. I was just…”
Allen stammered and hurriedly bowed his head, but an unexpectedly indifferent voice was heard.
“Thanks to you, I found evidence.”
“Yes…? Yes?”
Allen, taken aback, asked back like a fool, but Helena was lost in thought.
She had been bothered ever since Rosette had been attacked.
She had volunteered to support Kiris, who was sending people to the scene of the monster incident, and it had been a great success.
‘It’s similar to the black magic that stained the Magic Tower.’
When Kiris disappeared, she felt magic that was so similar to the black magic that had covered the Magic Tower.
It was a little weaker than then, but it was still similar enough to be considered the same.
There were too many strange things to feel like a coincidence. Could Kiris’s memory loss and Rosette’s attack by the monster be related?
‘Someone must have summoned the monster maliciously.’
So it wasn’t a coincidence, it was planned.
‘Like the maid Jenny recently.’
Fortunately, she had heard that Rosette had entered the Magic Tower with Kiris a little while ago.
The Magic Tower would be safe, so there was no need to worry.
‘I need to talk to Kiris.’
It seemed to be related to the incident that happened in the Magic Tower, so she thought she might be able to find a clue this time.
Helena hardened her expression and nodded to her fellow mage.
“I think I found a clue to that case.”

The atmosphere in the Eckart Duchy was lively for the first time in a long time.
This was because Terrion, who had gone out to subdue the monsters in the duchy for a long time, had returned after completing his mission.
Terrion wanted to see Aria very much, but there was an important matter, so he had a private meeting with Duke Eckart first.
In the drawing-room where they often drank tea, the identical violet eyes met each other.
Thump-
When the door closed and the atmosphere became quiet, Duke Eckart, who had been holding back, opened his mouth.
“You’ve worked hard, Terrion. Now you’ve become a proper successor.”
“Thank you, Father.”
“Yes. Now that you’ve successfully returned from the arduous monster subjugation, the vassals will support you. Well, there was only you as the successor anyway.”
Duke Eckart intended to solidify Terrion’s position on this occasion.
This was because there were many vassals who were wary of Terrion, the only successor.
They were envious of Terrion, who had no outstanding qualities, and wanted to test his qualifications as a successor.
Coincidentally, at that time, an incident occurred where monsters attacked civilian houses, and an emergency was declared in the family.
‘I’ll go.’
The vassals were pleased when Terrion confidently declared that he would carry out the subjugation.
They expected to see the young successor fail miserably in the subjugation.
However-
Terrion had perfectly completed the monster subjugation as if nothing had happened.
Moreover, it was a great achievement to have finished the monster subjugation in two years, when it was thought to take three years.
Duke Eckart, who laughed heartily, scanned Terrion thoroughly.
“You seem to have grown more. I’m proud of you.”
“Thank you. It’s only what I should do.”
“Of course, but many people can’t do that. It means you have that much talent.”
Terrion smiled as he tilted his teacup.
“Still, I was able to finish the monster subjugation quickly thanks to the help of the Magic Tower.”
“That’s right. They brought forward the subjugation.”
This was also a secret deal. The request, which offered magic stones in return for the Magic Tower’s help in subduing the monsters, was attractive.
There’s no loss for the family that owns the magic stone mine.
‘I heard they were investigating the cause because the monsters have been on the rise lately.’
He was skeptical at first, but the Tower Lord quickly sent someone and successfully subdued them.
“I don’t think it was a bad deal.”
At Terrion’s words, Duke Eckart nodded.
“Indeed.”
The Tower and the Eckart ducal family were on good terms.
