I Became the Villain's Master - Chapter 92
Chapter 92
It was all because Ailt was too kind-hearted.
“But is the communication with the divine beast going well?”
Seeing Helena’s curious eyes, I couldn’t bring myself to tell her the truth.
‘I still have to keep the illusion up.’
“Yes. It’s going well.”
“May I ask what kind of conversations you usually have?”
“Um… We just talk a lot of nonsense.”
I’ve heard enough things like its the best, its precious, that I’m about to lose it.
“…I see.”
Fortunately, Helena didn’t ask any more questions. I breathed a sigh of relief and turned my gaze outside.
After a brief silence, the carriage came to a stop.
“We have arrived.”
Only then did I realize that I had arrived in front of the magnificent Marquis of Kanilaen’s mansion.
“Wow.”
The mansion was so neat and large that it was enough to make me exclaim in admiration.
“Let’s get off now.”
“Ah, yes.”
Helena got out of the carriage first and escorted me. Snow was already clinging to my head, keeping an eye on the surroundings.
It seemed like it was glaring at me, claiming to be a divine beast, but it only looked cute.
[Mistress! I will be on guard!]
“Yes, yes.”
I pretended not to notice how much it was on guard, even though I couldn’t see it.
As soon as I got out of the carriage, I was met with the hot gazes of many people.
“Welcome, benefactor of the Marquis of Kanilaen!”
“Welcome to the mansion.”
There were many people standing in front of the main gate.
‘Did all the servants come out?’
My mouth naturally opened. I had never received such hospitality.
“It’s nice to meet you. I don’t know how much we appreciate you for finding our Helena.”
I almost fainted when I saw the man who stepped forward and approached me.
He was the Marquis Harvan Kanilaen, with the same red hair as Ailt and violet eyes reminiscent of Helena, shining strangely.
‘Is this real?’
My hunch was right when I saw everyone looking at me with bright eyes, waiting for my greeting.
No, no matter what, the Marquis of Kanilaen himself came to the main gate?
Me, who is no different from a fallen aristocrat?
The servants of the Marquis of Kanilaen also had unusual looks in their eyes, as if knowing how much Ailt had deified me.
‘Did I save the country?’
Mayday! Mayday!
“Miss Rosette? It’s the Marquis of Kanilaen.”
I came to my senses with a thud. I almost made a rude mistake.
For some reason, I thought the Marquis of Kanilaen’s face was colder than ice.
“I greet the Marquis of Kanilaen. My name is Rosette.”
As soon as I quickly grabbed the hem of my dress and greeted him, the Marquis, who had been as cold as ice, slightly raised the corner of his mouth.
“I invited you because I wanted to treat my benefactor, so don’t feel burdened.”
How can I not feel burdened…
“Thank you for inviting me.”
However, words different from my heart automatically popped out. Whew, it seemed that my worldly knowledge had only increased while living in this world.
Fortunately, the cheerful atmosphere continued, perhaps because my acting was not awkward.
“Helena. Are you just showing your face now?”
“I’m sorry, Father.”
Helena bowed her head deeply as if she was ashamed, and the Marquis sighed softly and turned his back.
“I’ll talk to you later. You did well to bring the benefactor.”
“….”
Now I see that the frosty expression is a default expression of this family.
Even Ailt, who usually maintains a gentle expression, felt as cold as frost when he was expressionless.
Fortunately, I didn’t think Helena and the Marquis of Kanilaen were on bad terms.
‘Thank goodness.’
I felt proud of myself for acting as a bridge between them.
As I hummed to myself and headed towards the mansion, I suddenly felt a chilling atmosphere.
“Hmm?”
I turned my head quickly, but no one was looking at me.
The servants were just returning to the mansion.
‘Did I feel it wrong?’
Snow was also staying still, so it seemed like I had reacted sensitively.
‘It’s the Kanilaen family, so there’s nothing to worry about.’
And so, I entered the mansion amidst the hospitality of many people, not knowing that there were eyes watching me until the end.
