I Became the Villain's Master - Chapter 48
Chapter 48
“….What? Kiris?”
“Truly! So, I’ll be in charge of escorting you from now on.”
Louis continued with a serious expression. “I’d rather have this happen. I was dying from all the work I had to do to serve him. This time, he should experience some hardship too!”
Louis bowed his head with a harmless smile.
“Then, I’ll be in your care, Rosette.”
As my uneasy premonition came true, my mouth fell open.
‘This is a dream, isn’t it?’
I pinched my cheek, and the pain was real.
That was why Kiris sent Louis to escort me.
“O-Okay…”
I couldn’t help but nod reluctantly. Kiris sent Louis because he was worried about me, and I couldn’t go against his wishes.
Well, it must be for limited time. Louis must be busy in many ways as Kiris’ aide.
However, my expectations were wrong again.
“So, how long will you be escorting me? To be honest, I don’t need an escort.”
“Well, there’s actually no time limit! Sir Kiris didn’t say anything. Maybe… forever? For life?”
I was speechless at Louis’ nonchalant delivery of such a terrifying statement.
“What did you say?”
I raised my voice without realizing it. Louis covered his mouth in shock, but I didn’t care.
“Rosette. Are you saying this because you don’t trust me? I’ll definitely escort you diligently. Not only that, but I’ll do anything you ask of me!”
That was not what I meant.
His lively voice still buzzed in my ears.
“…I understand.”
In the end, I held back tears and took Louis to the second floor to show him where he would be staying for the time being.
My plan was to let him stay for a few days and then send him back.
“This is the room Kiris used to use.”
Louis, who had quickly cleaned up the clutter he had brought, smiled broadly.
“I’m using the space Sir Kiris used!”
No, why is he so happy about this? Louis walked around the room, smoothing the bed sheets and rummaging through the drawers.
“There’s nothing here…”
Louis sighed in disappointment. Then, he looked at me with a motivated expression.
“Rosette.”
“Yes?”
When I asked in confusion, he glanced around and spoke.
“What should I do first?”
“No, you don’t have to do anything. I’ll talk to Kiris.”
“No! I can’t let you do that. Sir Kiris definitely told me to do everything you ask of me, not just to escort you.”
No, that’s not an escort, but a servant! I wondered what Kiris was thinking.
“I’ll start by cleaning.”
Before I knew it, Louis was holding a broom and muttering with a determined face. Before I could react, he quickly started sweeping the floor with a happy expression.
“It’s nice to clean it myself.”
“Miss. What’s going on here?”
At that moment, Mary appeared behind me, staring blankly at Louis. I sighed slightly and led Mary downstairs.
“Mary. Somehow, Louis ended up being my escort.”
“…I see. He’s the mage I saw that time, right?”
“Yes. That’s right.”
“I thought so! It doesn’t make sense for miss not to have an escort. The Tower Lord must have asked him to do it!”
Mary calmly assessed the situation. She seemed to be used to this kind of thing by now.
“Then, miss, let him take care of you. I’ll leave the rest of the chores to that mage.”
Somehow, we heard a loud voice from the second floor.
“That’s a good idea! I’ll do the chores!”
It was the moment a noble mage instantly became my servant.
‘How come my house is never quiet for a single day?’
It was a day that was mentally exhausting all day long.
“Kiing!”
Snow licked my face with its tongue. I laughed softly and felt the soft touch of Snow.
I felt a little better as it did this.
“Miss, shall I bring you some tea?”
“Yes, please.”
I should have some tea time and calm my mind and body.

Louis discovered a new talent. He was talented not only in cleaning, laundry, but also in gardening.
In some ways, he did it better than Kiris.
“Rosette! Look, there are no weeds when I take care of the garden.”
Louis also used magic when cleaning to make sweeping a little easier.
For example, he would make the dust gather in one place. He used magic to clean places that were hard to reach.
However, Louis complained that it was difficult to control his magic power in detail, so it was difficult to adjust.
‘But that’s not the point!’
I couldn’t tell if I should like this fact, so I reacted ambiguously.
How surprised would others be if they knew that the mage of the Magic Tower was doing manual labor?
“Phew.”
Fortunately, Louis showed no signs of displeasure and was enthusiastic about everything he did.
“Rosette, I’m actually good at sewing. I’ll do it now, so you can rest!”
And didn’t he also take the work that was given from Aunt Celia?
At first, I refused, saying that I would do it, but in the end, I had no choice but to praise Louis’ skilled craftsmanship.
Louis kept moving his mouth without resting while he was repairing.
“Do you know how great Sir Kiris is? I envy you, Rosette. He comes to see you in person whenever he has time!”
Then, he kept looking at me with envy.
Was this something to be so envious of? I thought it would be nice if the mages weren’t as strange as Louis.
And I was sure about something.
‘My peaceful daily life…..’
There will be no more quiet days.
