I Became the Villain's Master - Chapter 40
Chapter 40
“Oh, I knew from the moment I first saw you that something was off! The youngest Tower Lord and the legendary mage who is the world’s most handsome man! His name is none other than Kiris!”
My passionate acting seemed to work as Kiris loosened his grip on my hand. Indeed, it was clear that I had great social skills.
“Ah, Sir Kiris. It’s such an honor that you remember me.”
“….”
There was a moment of silence. I slowly opened my narrowed eyes. Then I saw Kiris furrowing his brow and letting out a hollow laugh. Her bending down act was a complete failure.
“Oh, no. What I meant was…”
His intense gaze froze me in place. Kiris slowly opened his mouth.
“Call me by my name. You’ve always done so.”
“Ahaha… Is that so? But why the title ‘Mistress’…?”
“I said I would serve you for a lifetime.”
“What?”
‘Wasn’t it just a passing remark?’
I was dumbfounded and slightly opened my mouth. Seeing my expression, Sion chuckled and carefully tidied up my disheveled hair.
“I will keep my word, so don’t worry.”
“That’s not it!” I shouted as I raised my upper body. How could the esteemed Tower Lord consider himself my slave?
‘It’s absurd.’
But when Kiris, who had opened his eyes wide, looked at me, I quickly covered my mouth with my hand. He could suddenly change his mind.
“Do you dislike me as your servant?”
Although his mouth was raised, his deep-set eyes didn’t smile. My bewildered face was reflected in his red eyes.
“Ah, no way. That can’t be… Haha…”
I immediately backed down, and Kiris’ expression became slightly grim.
“That’s good, because if you don’t like it… I don’t know what would happen to you.”
I felt cold sweat running down my face. There was no doubt that the sharp gaze was filled with a sense of danger. To lighten the mood, I cleared my throat loudly and spoke.
“So, you’ve been staying at the Magic Tower all this time?”
“Yes, Mistress. It took a while, you know? I regained my memories and had to deal with various problems, so it turned out that way.” Kiris smiled and said, “During my absence, were there any people who bothered you? If you want, I can kill them all.”
His blood-red eyes flashed. I had a name that came to mind instantly, but I held back and shook my head as if I were going crazy.
‘Why is he talking about?!’
It definitely seemed like something was wrong. At that moment, I heard a sound of suppressed breath and turned my head. At the edge of my gaze, Mary was covering her pale face. I had been looking for Mary earlier, and it turned out she was hiding.
“Mary?”
Kiris turned his head slightly towards Mary. She suddenly sat down in her place and hiccuped.
“Oh, Miss. I-I wasn’t trying to secretly watch. It was just a coincidence. Snow!”
“Ahh!”
Snow, who had been nestled in Mary’s arms, rushed towards Sion, baring its teeth.
“It’s okay, Snow.”
I quickly got up from my seat and held Snow in my arms. Then, I looked at Kiris, who was looking puzzled, and opened my mouth.
“Do you remember? The fox we saw at the Grand Temple… And Mary is the maid I hired. Mary, say hello. This person here is Kiris, a mage.”
“A mage?!”
As soon as I said that, Mary, who had just managed to get up, cautiously asked.
“Yes, so he’s not a… bad person.”
How could I say the villain was not a bad person? I felt my consciousness pricked, but for now, I decided it would be best to calm Mary down.
“Hello, nice to meet you.”
An awkward atmosphere filled the air, and as silence flowed, I didn’t know what to do, so I looked at Kiris for a hint.
Knock, knock, knock.
At that moment, we heard a knocking sound.
“Who is it?”
My head throbbed because of the people who kept coming to my house. Was this supposed to be a meeting place?
“I’ll go, Mistress.”
Without a word, Kiris got up from his seat and walked briskly towards the door.
Soon, the door opened, and a familiar voice shook the vicinity.
“Sir Kiris!”
Running towards Kiris with a tearful face was Louis. And with a deep sigh, Helena followed behind him.
