I Became the Villain's Master - Chapter 78
Chapter 78
Fortunately, she tilted her head and disappeared into the Great Temple.
Haidel let out a sigh of relief at the thought of having avoided the worst-case scenario of his identity being revealed.
However, a question arose.
How could Rosette, who had no abilities, have noticed his presence?
‘Even the Pope didn’t notice.’
His doubts about her identity grew stronger.
At first, he thought she was a mage with connections to the Tower Lord, but now he wondered what kind of secret she was hiding.
‘I just have to check.’
Haidel moistened his dry lips with his tongue. Soon, curiosity filled his face.
Uncertainties must be turned into certainties.
That was the way Haidel had always lived, and this thoroughness had been a great asset when he was an assassin.
Haidel took out a communication orb from his bosom and tried to contact someone.
Woo-oosh.
“Damian.”
<Oh, it’s Haidel.>
A moment later, the face of someone with a despicable expression appeared, and Haidel explained the outline of the incident.
Then, the face that had popped up distorted grotesquely. He must have been moving his body while holding back laughter.
Haidel, who had seen this more than once, crumpled his forehead and shouted.
“Shut up!”
The sound of snickering could be heard from the other side of the communication orb.
<Ahahaha! It’s because your ability is lacking. It’s your fault for accepting the power incompletely.>
Haidel suppressed the urge to smash the communication orb, forcing himself to speak through gritted teeth.
“Shut up. Who do you think you owe your life to?”
<Yeah, yeah. Isn’t it thanks to His Highness, the Crown Prince?>
As Damian exaggerated his movements and sneered, Haidel muttered grimly.
“His Highness wants evidence. So you have to help me.”
Haidel knew that getting angry at Damian would only put him at a disadvantage.
Cedric still trusted Damian.
And besides, Damian would be more serious than anyone when it came to tasks.
<What do you want me to do?>
Damian’s expression disappeared as he asked again.
<Is it for the task?>
“Yeah, it’s nothing. Just lure her out. I have something I need to know for sure.”
<Did the master give you permission?>
“It doesn’t matter.”
Haidel lifted the corners of his mouth and stared at the place where Rosette had disappeared.
“His Highness would rather welcome it. He said it’s better to kill her if she’s judged to be dangerous.”
The black aura that had been hovering around the area moved stealthily, and Haidel’s jet-black eyes gleamed ferociously.

Before confirming my divine power, I prayed in the private prayer room where I had met Snow.
Kneeling down and clasping my hands, I hoped that this time I would be able to hear the voice of God.
‘Because I was always with Snow.’
I had touched Snow’s fur, the divine beast, a lot lately, so I wondered if there would be any changes.
Even if God didn’t answer me, I would at least manifest my divine power.
If it works, I should sleep with Snow in my arms.
After having such a frivolous thought, I prayed for a long time, but God still didn’t respond.
I stood up from my seat with a sullen expression. There was no need to despair yet.
I just had to confirm my divine power.
‘Still, what if my divine power has already manifested?’
I followed the priest who had been waiting for me to the high priest to confirm my divine power.
“It seems like you have a lot of divine power, but it hasn’t been manifested yet.”
I still received the same answer that nothing had changed.
‘No, isn’t this too much?’
I despaired at my divine power, which hadn’t manifested even after several months. The high priest looked at my expression and smiled kindly.
“There are many people who haven’t manifested their divine power throughout their lives. You have plenty of potential, Rosette.”
“Thank you for the compliment.”
“Really. Otherwise, why don’t you try praying? It will help you manifest your divine power.”
“Should I?”
“Yes. God will give you the answer.”
The high priest, who clasped his hands and chanted reverently, was the embodiment of divinity itself.
‘Priest Noctis also said that praying is good.’
Yeah, let’s pray!
If I keep praying, I’ll manifest my divine power someday. Then I’ll be able to talk to Snow and find out why I was transmigrated to this world.
