I Became the Villain's Master - Chapter 106
Chapter 106
“The Tower Lord’s room is at the top. You normally have to climb a lot of stairs, but I’m the Tower Lord, right?”
Oh…!
I thought I was hallucinating after seing the sky.
This is the Tower Lord’s flex!
I’d like to experience it once too.
‘It’s like being forced to exercise!’
Louis used to say that he thought he was going to die from exhaustion when he went up to the Tower Lord’s room.
‘I guess he can’t use magic….’
It’s for the Tower Lord only.
I looked around the room, which had a completely different atmosphere, with sparkling eyes.
Papers were scattered on the desk in disarray.
It seemed that he used it as a study and lived his entire life in this space.
“This place is like a sub-space, where you can expand the space infinitely.”
“Really?”
“Yeah. But I don’t really expand it that much. There’s no point in just having a lot of space.”
I nodded at Kiris’ explanation.
“Can I look around a little?”
“Anytime.”
With Kiris’ permission, I cautiously looked around. The space had a dreamy atmosphere and a cozy feel.
This was a quiet yet profound space. It felt like I would gain enlightenment just by staying still.
It didn’t seem like a bad idea to stay in this space, even if it meant that I would simply be an accesories here.
“Wow… it’s great.”
“You like it?”
“Yeah. I wish I could live here….”
“Didn’t you know, Mistress?”
“Huh?”
“I brought you to the tower to live together. I was worried about being away from you.”
“…?”
Kiris had thrown a bombshell, and I was caught off guard.
‘Ugh!’
What are you saying? I mean, you’re saying that you and I are going to live together in the Tower Lord’s room?
“Did I hear you wrong? You’re saying you’re going to live here with me?”
“Mistress. You don’t… like it?”
Ruby-like red eyes flickered as if he didn’t understand what he was saying.
Mayday! Mayday!
Even when I tried to think of reasons why it wouldn’t work, my mind went blank as if it had stopped working.
Then, a great reason flashed through my mind.
“It’s not that, but wouldn’t the mages hate it?”
They wouldn’t like me staying in the Magic Tower anyway, but how angry would they be if I told them I was living in the Tower Lord’s room?
“No one hates it. If that’s the case… you won’t be seeing them in the Magic Tower soon?”
“…!”
As Kiris muttered eerily, I felt something was wrong.
Mayday! Mayday!
I quickly lowered my head, as if I was about to be questioned by the mages.
“Ahaha… that’s not it! I just thought I’d have my own room at first. So I was a little surprised.”
“That’s good then.”
Gasp, my life!
Still, with Mary around, the situation wouldn’t be too bad.
I wanted to believe that.
I changed the subject to refresh the awkward atmosphere.
“Huh?”
An uncharacteristically cute robe caught my eye.
Why is a robe that a small child would wear here?
As I unconsciously reached out my hand, Kiris’s voice, as if soaked in memories, was heard.
“…It’s the robe the previous Tower Lord gave me.”
Kiris had a slightly stiff expression. With a look in his eyes that I had never seen before, I realized that I had touched something of his.
“Were you close to the previous Tower Lord?”
“Not bad. He’s the one who brought me here and raised me.”
Kiris’s expression cracked slightly, and the corners of his mouth trembled subtly.
‘The original novel didn’t mention Kiris’s past.’
The contents of the novel ‘Secret Contract of the Soul’ were now hazy, but I remember this clearly.
The absence of a dark background story.
I don’t know if the writer intended to reveal it later, but Kiris’s past was never mentioned.
He was just a villain. More than his past, the fact that he was evil was emphasized.
‘Everyone must have their own pain.’
Looking into Kiris’s eyes, I understood that. He has pain.
Pain so severe that he couldn’t tell anyone.
“You don’t know much about my past, do you?”
I gulped.
I felt like I was hearing something I shouldn’t, but at the same time, I was curious.
What kind of past does Kiris have?
“Can I tell you?”
Kiris’s gaze wandered into space before fixing on me.
“Yeah.”
Kiris raised his magic with a light answer, and the wind blew softly.
Whoosh-
“I’ll show you. My past.”
As the light spread—
My world turned upside down.
