I Became the Villain's Master - Chapter 77
Chapter 77
“Thank you, lady. Thanks to you, I found my sister.”
Ailt said in a tear-choked voice, and I waved my hand in embarrassment and replied.
“Oh, no. It wasn’t that I knew….”
“But if I hadn’t met you, I wouldn’t have found Helena. As the next head of the Marquis family of Kanilaen, I would like to express my gratitude.”
“Really, it’s okay. I didn’t know Helena was your sister, so it was just luck.”
I waved my hand and refused the favor. The Chancellor of the Empire bows his head to me.
This wasn’t right. I’m now the daughter of a fallen nobleman.
Fortunately, Ailt slowly backed away as I made an awkward expression.
“You don’t have to say it now. There will be many opportunities to meet. Please let me know if you need help next time. I will do my best to help you, lady.”
With such an offer, it would be impolite to refuse. I reluctantly nodded my head in affirmation.
“…Yes. I’ll ask for help when I need it next time. And you can call me Rosette.”
“I will do so, lady.”
However, Ailt still treated me with respect. It was impossible to change the way of speaking that had become a habit.
Resigned, I tried to subtly ask about Aria. They’re still strangers, right?
If so, I would feel guilty.
“I….”
Just then.
Swoosh-
The warm temperature dropped sharply, and I felt a chill. As a cold feeling that made my blood run cold enveloped my body, I hurriedly shifted my gaze there.
“What’s wrong, lady?”
However, the feeling disappeared in an instant. I looked around but couldn’t find anything strange.
“Did you feel anything strange?”
“Huh? I didn’t feel anything at all.”
“Rosette. Is something wrong?”
Ailt tilted his head, and Helena, the mage, looked at me with a puzzled expression.
“Oh, it’s nothing.”
‘Is it my imagination?’
It didn’t make sense that I sensed something when even a mage who was sensitive to the flow of magic didn’t notice.
It must have been a mistake.
I’m an ordinary person with no abilities, and I haven’t manifested any divine power.
“Are you feeling sick?”
Ailt asked with concern, and I smiled faintly and changed the subject.
“No. It’s so nice to be in the garden. I think I’m all better from being sick.”
“I’m glad, lady. I feel refreshed being here too.”
“Brother, wait a minute.”
Helena went to Ailt’s side and poked him in the side. Helena grabbed my arm and pulled it.
“Rosette, let’s go in now.”
“I took up your time. I guess I was out of my mind after meeting Helena for the first time in a long time. I’m sorry, lady.”
As Ailt apologized and was about to leave, I quickly grabbed him.
“I’m just going to pray for a while, so it’s okay if you stay with Helena.”
Ailt’s emerald eyes, which were dripping with regret, regained their light.
“Is that okay?”
“Yes, of course. Helena would want that too.”
At my words, Helena muttered, “What are you talking about?”
I smiled harmlessly, pretending not to know anything, and pushed Helena’s back.
“Rosette, I’m the escort, is it okay for you to be alone?”
“Yes, it’s the Great Temple, so is there anything to worry about?”
“Then I’ll wait with Helena.”
“Brother, you have to go back to the Imperial Palace.”
“It’s okay. Is the Imperial Palace more important than being with you?”
Ailt was a complete younger sister fool, unlike the cold image I read in the novel.
“Then I’ll be back!”
I waved my hand and went inside the Great Temple.

Haidel was faithfully carrying out the Crown Prince’s orders. He had been secretly gathering information about Rosette for several days and had learned a lot.
The eldest daughter of the Viscount Cernia family.
She left the family under the pretense of becoming independent and was living alone, and it was presumed that she had a deep connection with the mages of the Magic Tower
Since Cedric had ordered him to investigate thoroughly, Haidel began to follow Rosette.
The power bestowed upon him by ‘that person’ allowed Haidel to perfectly conceal himself. He hid in the garden of the Great Temple, eavesdropping on their conversation.
It was all to gather even a shred of information, but suddenly Rosette turned her gaze, staring precisely in Haidel’s direction.
‘This is absurd.’
The power bestowed upon him by ‘that person’, which even a Tower Lord couldn’t easily grasp? No, that could never be.
Haidel calmed his pounding heart and hid himself even more discreetly.
Still, his black pupils persistently followed Rosette. If it wasn’t a mistake, he was thinking of escaping.
