I Became the Villain's Master - Chapter 104
Chapter 104
Kiris reached out and stroked my cheek.
“I’d like to see it in action…”
“Uh…”
My heart, which had stopped as if someone had grabbed it, started pounding like crazy.
It felt like a tingling electric current was running through the cheek Kiris had touched.
I couldn’t understand why I was acting like this.
My head was spinning.
“I… Kiris. We should…”
Just then, the green-haired mage cautiously squeezed between us, and Kiris slowly retracted his hand and turned his head away.
“Do you want to die?”
“Eek! No, no! Welcome to the Magic Tower, lady!”
“Welcome!”
Everyone suddenly clapped their hands and welcomed me.
I think I can hear a whistle somewhere…
‘Phew. Thank goodness.’
As the tension eased, I was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief. My favorability for the mages went up even more.
‘They’re good people!’
“This is the first time I’ve seen such a beautiful person since I was born! Sir Kiris has excellent taste.”
“Yes, you’re so beautiful that you make me want to study magic!”
“Let’s take the lady to the research lab…”
The mage gathered around me, making a big fuss.
They gathered in a circle around me, their eyes sparkling as they looked at me like children, and I couldn’t help but laugh.
‘No, am I a new recruit to the Magic Tower? I don’t think they would welcome the Emperor like this.’
Kiris frowned, but it seemed they were too caught up in their curiosity to notice.
“What is the name of the lady who will bring light to our Magic Tower?”
The green-haired man approached me, following the sloppy noble etiquette.
Then, when he met Kiris’s murderous gaze, he was startled and took a step back.
When the green-haired man’s face turned pale, I quickly came to his rescue.
“Hello there.”
I smiled faintly and greeted him, and the green-haired man looked at me with relief as if he had grabbed a lifeline.
“Oh! You answered me!”
“My name is Rosette. What about you?”
“Mistress. You don’t need to know them. Just know my name.”
I don’t know what kind of logic that is, but when Kiris covered the green-haired man’s mouth, he opened his eyes wide and shook his head.
I took a step forward and said to Kiris.
“Then I’ll introduce myself. I don’t think they know my name yet.”
“…Okay, Mistress.”
Kiris reluctantly agreed.
Hmm. Still, I came to the Magic Tower unexpectedly, so I should be polite!
I bowed gracefully to the mages who were gathered around me.
“My name is Rosette. I’ll be in your care for a while. As you may have heard, I’ll be staying here for a while.”
There was a brief silence, and then everyone shouted, shaking their bodies and throwing off their robes.
“No, we’re the ones who are grateful!”
“Someone who can control our Sir Kiris has appeared!”
“If we study her… a new era of magic will open up.”
What do you mean by study?
Do you mean to use me as a magic ingredient?
I got goosebumps.
“You’re all talking nonsense.”
As soon as Kiris scoffed at their words, the surroundings became quiet in an instant.
“Now, let’s go. Sir Kiris.”
“After studying…”
The mages ran away as fast as they could and disappeared in an instant.
I was impressed by Kiris’s charisma, which allowed him to command the mages with a single word.
This is the Tower Lord!
As I opened my mouth and raised my thumb, Kiris gently took my hand.
“Mistress. Now it’s just the two of us.”
“Uh… right? Ahahaha… Where are the mages going?”
“They must be doing magic research.”
Kiris, with his eyes narrowed, stared intently at me. There was a brief silence.
“….”
My heart was pounding reflexively, as if the remnants of my previous emotions were still lingering.
The tense atmosphere continued, and Kiris slowly opened his mouth.
“Mistress.”
“Uh, yes.”
Oh, this atmosphere!
I felt like my face was going to explode, and I stared blankly at Kiris as he approached me.
“There’s something I want to do.”
His sharp jawline and sensual lips stopped about an inch away.
Just when I thought it was a pity, Kiris gently lifted me up.
“Kiris…?”
I had no idea what he meant by “do.”
Is this a warning that he’s going to drop me from a high place?
As I imagined the worst-case scenario, Kiris’s breath came closer.
“Open your eyes.”
I carefully opened my eyes, and when I saw where Kiris was standing, I was immediately astonished.
“This is…?”
