I Became the Villain's Master - Chapter 80
Chapter 80
I watched the two of them with a smile, unbeknownst to them.
‘It was a good thing I came to the temple today.’
Even though my divine power remains the same, is there anything more gratifying than finding Helena’s family?
Ailt gave me a faint smile as he glanced at me last.
Ah, the halo…!
I quickly clasped my hands together and wished for the sub male lead’s bright future. Even if she is not Aria, I hope he finds beautiful love!
Coo-oong-
I opened my eyes slightly and felt a strange atmosphere. A distinct ominous feeling.
As I realized it, my face turned pale as if the blood had drained from it.
Helena also stiffened her expression, sensing something.
“Lady?”
Ailt got off the carriage and approached me, his expression grave.
But I couldn’t hear anything.
All I could feel was the instinct to escape this moment.
Just as I felt that.
Swoosh-
Something sharp came flying towards me.

Even after becoming a chancellor, Ailt had never once forgotten his sister.
Helena, who ran away at the young age of 12 to become a mage, despite her family’s opposition.
Marquis Kanilaen family, who had held important positions in the Imperial Palace for generations, did not approve of mages.
Of course, Helena was no exception, and she eventually ran away.
Ailt, who had failed to persuade his father at that time, blamed himself. That’s why he tried to bring Helena back by any means necessary, but to no avail.
In the past, he had even planned to use his authority as a chancellor to break into the Magic Tower.
Thinking that Helena would naturally have become a mage of the Magic Tower.
However, when he came to the temple to make a donation, fortune smiled upon Ailt.
Rosette, who looked a little different from when he saw her at the banquet, was still deeply etched in his mind.
And she was with Helena?
“Helena?”
Her slightly upturned eyes and her cold impression when her mouth was closed.
There was no denying that she was his sister.
Ailt felt grateful. Rosette, who had been on his mind for a while, was the benefactor who had found his sister.
However, a different emotion from gratitude took root in his heart.
He couldn’t help but be concerned about Rosette’s actions, and he wanted to keep her in his sight a little longer.
He didn’t know what this feeling was, but Ailt didn’t think it was bad.
It was an emotion he had never felt from the ladies who approached him.
“I am closer to you than to Lady Aria.”
But then, when Rosette suddenly asked about Aria, he couldn’t help but blurt it out.
Ailt almost slapped himself.
What a slip of the tongue. It was no different from revealing his unfiltered inner thoughts.
Now Rosette would think he was strange.
At that thought, his heart grew hot. Ailt slumped his shoulders and quickly moved away from Rosette.
But he was soon caught up to, and Rosette said something meaningful.
“Lord, you can do it. Dreams come true when you’re desperate.”
At that moment, he felt a sense of relief, as if something that had been blocked had cleared.
Rosette had willingly forgiven him and given him a chance. Ailt made a silent resolution.
He had to find a way to get closer to her. If not, he could ask Helena for help.
And so, Ailt parted ways with Rosette and saw it as he got into the carriage.
A huge shadow approaching with a black aura.
Thump-
He felt as if his heart had fallen into his stomach.
“Lady!”
Without a moment’s hesitation, Ailt rushed to Rosette as the monster aimed directly at her.

I had only known about monsters through knowledge since I transmigrated into this world.
They were usually managed in the Imperial Palace and regularly exterminated.
In particular, the capital was more active in extermination, and it was extremely rare for civilians to be harmed.
However.
Kieeeeeek-
Why did a monster appear in the middle of the city? And without any warning.
‘I have to escape…’.
In an instant, everything in the world seemed to slow down.
Ailt running towards me.
And even Helena, who quickly raised her magic power with a look of astonishment.
I knew I had to escape right now, but my body wouldn’t move as if it were bound.
As I blinked once, a sharp thorn surrounded by a black aura approached me.
A movement that was clearly aimed at me.
I let out a short sigh, intuiting the near future.
“Ah….”
The fear of death overwhelmed my reason, and I closed my eyes tightly, anticipating the impact that would follow.
But even as time passed, I didn’t feel any pain.
‘…What?’
As questions welled up, I suddenly felt a cool energy inside me and my fingertips became hot.
Fwoosh-
And then.
A pure white light bloomed.
The small sphere of light gradually grew in size, illuminating the surroundings.
Kieeeeeek-
The monster shrieked and twisted its body. At the same time, the black aura faded and disappeared.
Thud!
Then, a familiar magic power gathered and struck the monster directly, followed by a desperate scream.
“Rosette!”
“…Kiris?”
I met Kiris’s serious expression as he rushed towards me, and I lost consciousness.
