I Became the Villain's Master - Chapter 93
Chapter 93
* * *
“Wow!”
A magnificent banquet reminiscent of an imperial feast was spread out before my eyes. I was speechless.
Even the plates were so luxurious that I could live comfortably for years just by taking one home.
“I hope you like it. And thank you again for accepting my invitation.”
“No, I’m the one who doesn’t know where to put myself.”
“As my benefactor, I must repay you sufficiently. You have no idea how gloomy our family has been since Helena left home….”
The Marquis of Kanilaen added, staring at Helena.
“Let’s talk about it later. Let’s enjoy the feast first.”
With that, the Marquis of Kanilaen picked up his utensils, and the meal began.
I tried my best to maintain the etiquette of a nobleman as I moved my hands.
Suddenlt, Snow that had been circling around me with its eyes sparkling spoke.
[Mistress, may I be in my divine beast form for a while?]
‘No.’
[Ugh… You’re so mean. You’re telling me to just watch this delicious food?]
‘Then become human.’
Snow, shaking its head at my words, disappeared from my sight.
[Hmph! You’re a bad mistress after all!]
‘Hmm, this is delicious.’
It was definitely fatty meat when I ate it at home, but no matter how they cooked it, it melted in my mouth.
The Marquis of Kanilaen, who had briefly chatted with me, asked the butler standing beside him.
“When did Ailt say he would arrive?”
“There is a message that he will be late due to an urgent matter at the Imperial Palace. He will probably arrive soon.”
“Right, I heard that a monster appeared in the square recently.”
“Yes. Fortunately, there were no casualties, and the Tower Lord appeared and took care of it.”
“Hmm… It seems the Tower Lord was there at the right time.”
I, who had been putting food in my mouth with a blank expression, trembled.
‘Wait, that’s my story.’
I glanced sideways and met Helena’s eyes. Helena, who had been sitting there like a thorn in my side, moved her lips.
‘I kept everything about Miss Rosette a secret. Given the position of the temple….’
Ah, so I almost got attacked by a monster, and no one knew I had awakened my divine power.
Noctis had also told me to keep quiet for my own safety.
‘Well, it’s good that no one knows.’
After all, I couldn’t rule out the possibility that someone had released the monster to harm me.
I don’t know what dangerous being I am, but I guess I must have done something to get on someone’s bad side.
‘This is so unfair!’
I was just trying to enjoy my peaceful single life, but the world wouldn’t leave me alone!
The monster incident was known to have been resolved by Kiris, who appeared at the right time and took care of the monster.
The Imperial Palace would probably conclude the same.
‘If that’s the case, then that’s good.’
Everything will be alright!
With that thought in mind, I focused on eating again. When will I ever get to eat something this delicious again?

“Sir Kiris!”
Louis, who was running at a speed like a monster, slammed his head into an invisible wall.
“Ouch! Sir Kiris. It hurts!”
“Shut up.”
“That’s too much….”
“So why did you call me?”
Kiris looked around at the mountain of monster corpses.
And there was no one around except for the knights who seemed to be resting, except for the guards.
Louis rubbed his head with both hands and then raised his head.
“I found something strange.”
Then, he manifested his magic in the air.
The thin, blue magic, like a thread, wrapped around the corpse of a monster that seemed to have just been killed…
Whoosh!
Suddenly, the corpse turned to ash as if it were on fire and disappeared.
“Look, Sir Kiris! Normally, when you burn the corpse of a dead monster, it turns to ash and disappears without any magic reaction, right?”
“Right.”
“But there are cases where that’s not the case.”
“…?”
Kiris stared at the corpse that Louis had burned.
The monster with long tentacles had turned to ash and disappeared, but remnants of magic remained.
“This is…?”
However, the magic disappeared without a trace a moment later.
“Look! Sir Kiris! Isn’t it quite different from the magic we felt from the monster? This is, no matter how you look at it….”
“Be quiet.”
“Yes!”
Louis covered his mouth with both hands and made a muffled sound. Kiris looked at him pathetically before lowering his posture and sweeping the place where the corpse had disappeared.
The ash that had gotten on his hands was blown away by the wind.
Kiris could feel a very faint flow of magic in the ash.
And then, one hypothesis came to mind.
