I Became the Villain's Master - Chapter 58
Chapter 58
“I’m glad. Originally, there’s no need for mercy towards trash.”
“I agree. I wish I could finish him off right now, but…”
“Do you want to hit him more? It seems like your hands are itching.”
I felt a sense of déjà vu. Not only his straightforwardness, but also his strangely familiar behavior.
‘Am I mistaken?’
Thinking it was probably because of something mentioned in the original story, I pointed at the young lord, who had become one with the floor, and asked.
“Um… I think this is enough. But what do we do with him?”
“Hey, you know who I am!”
Bam-
“Ugh…”
“Be quiet. Oh, my lady. Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it.”
I gulped at his words, which were as nonchalant as if he was talking about throwing out the trash. As expected of Ailt!
Ailt was known for handling all matters rationally and perfectly, befitting his position as the Chancellor.
I suppose he’ll punish him for his crimes this time as well.
“I apologize. I’m late to introduce myself. I am Ailt Kanilaen. I am the unworthy Chancellor of the Empire.”
He got down on one knee and held out his hand to me. I calmed my trembling heart and reached out my hand. Soon, I felt his lips gently touch the back of my hand.
“My name is Rosette. I’m here as Sir Kiris’ partner this time.”
I greeted him politely, and Ailt’s emerald eyes sparkled as he said, “It’s an honor to meet you. I wanted to greet you anyway. I’m actually quite interested in the Magic Tower.”
“Oh, really?”
“Yes. The Empire is able to live comfortably thanks to the mages. They are people worthy of respect.”
I wondered if Ailt’s interest in mages was mentioned in the original story. I couldn’t remember.
Anyway, it had been a long time since I met a noble who was friendly towards mages, so I was secretly pleased.
“Is that so? I think so too.”
In fact, I said that because if I wasn’t friendly towards the mages, my life would be in danger, but I spoke smoothly.
Ailt’s eyes lit up at that.
“Haha. I can’t help but think positively of mages because my younger sister is one.”
‘Younger sister?’
Ailt continued, adjusting his clothes.
“It’s been a long time since I’ve seen her face, but I understand my sister well now. The Magic Tower is such a secretive place. There must be a reason.”
It was unfamiliar to hear an older brother miss his sister who had left home. As expected of the sub-male lead, he had the heart of an angel.
‘He’s completely different from Lionel.’
When Ailt’s expression darkened slightly, I quickly changed the subject.
“But how did you end up here?”
“Oh. I saw that trash following you around without being part of the group, so I followed him out because it was suspicious.”
“Gasp! You followed me?”
“Yes. I wish I had come sooner if I had known that it was that wretched young lord, I apologize.”
“No, you don’t have to apologize. I’m just unlucky.”
My mind was in a jumble. The young lord, who was supposed to be following Aria, followed me instead.
He didn’t mistake me for Aria.
When my expression hardened, Ailt asked with a worried look.
“Are you okay? You look pale.”
“Oh, I’m fine. My head just hurts a little.”
“Then shall we go?”
Putting my thoughts aside, I went down to the banquet hall, escorted by Ailt.
Ailt told his attendant to take care of the wretched the young lord, and as the sound of music and the sight of nobles socializing unfolded before my eyes, it felt like I came back to reality.
“Lady Rosette.”
Then, I heard someone calling my name and approaching me. Of course, I knew who it was.
“Thank you for helping me.”
“It’s only natural. Then, I hope you have a pleasant banquet.”
Ailt nodded to me and left.
“Kiris.”
“Where did you go? I haven’t seen you since earlier.”
“I was on the terrace, getting some air. Did you wait long?”
“No. Mistress. But who’s that guy?”
Kiris asked, glancing at Ailt, who was walking away. He was definitely asking gently, but for some reason, I felt a chill.
“He’s Ailt Kanilaen. I just happened to get to know him.”
I didn’t mention the story about the wretched young lord.
If Kiris found out about this, I felt like the young lord family would be wiped out from the Empire.
‘If it ends like that, it’ll be a blessing.’
No one would protect world peace like I do.
“Hmm, really?”
“Yeah. They said he’s the Chancellor, so he must be important.”
I wondered why I was defending Ailt. Kiris smiled in satisfaction, and I smiled awkwardly as I looked at the person approaching us.
“Sir Kiris.”
A middle-aged man with a deep voice approached us.
He had jet-black hair like the night sky and intimidating purple eyes.
“I came here because I wanted to introduce my daughter.”
It was Duke Eckart. And next to him stood Aria, whom I had been longing to see.
