14 – The Villain, Rose Van Damien (6)

Rose’s birthday.

I was watching the banquet hall from the balcony on the third floor of Viscount Darmien’s mansion.

The banquet hall is crowded with people.

Relatives of Viscount Darmien,

Your wife’s friends and family,

Even nobles from surrounding fiefdoms.

A half-white-looking group of people gathered to celebrate Rose’s twelfth birthday.

In that large crowd, my eyes were fixed on one place.

That was where Count Cayden and Dunkel were.

‘They are like garbage.’

Looking at these guys pretending to be good people, I felt nauseous.

They are watching them to protect Rose.

I can’t help but feel nauseous and feel like I have a thousand dollars inside.

The plan that damned Count Cayden and Dunkel came up with was simple.

Performing large-scale hallucination magic on attendees to cause them to have distorted memories.

In that case, even if the Count took Rose and harmed her, those with distorted memories would not be able to suspect the Count.

When I first heard of this plan, I thought:

‘It’s a plan full of loopholes, right?’

What if Dunkel’s illusion magic doesn’t work on even one of the invited guests?

What if the witnesses who emerged at that time make what they did public?

Even if there are no witnesses, what if Rose tells others what happened to her?

No matter how powerful the count family is, it would be impossible to get through it without any damage.

Nevertheless, the Count proceeded with this plan with confidence, because he had some faith in it.

– “What a smart kid, he can weigh the weight of what he says.”

-“So even if you receive favor from me, you won’t be able to say anything. Why? Because that kid knows.”

-“He knew that the moment he spoke poorly, his family could completely collapse in an instant.”

It was his status and Rose’s cleverness.

Rose testified, but what if there is no evidence that the culprit was the Count?

The reality was that from the count’s perspective, he could take this as an insult and take revenge on the viscount’s family.

Is that all? Dunkel, the Count’s subordinate, even had a rather meticulous side.

-“Even if that little girl tells her parents, it won’t be a problem. That’s because I plan to cast a stronger illusion spell on Viscount Darmien and his wife.”

-“The Viscount will remember our party as something he did. “Your wife will live hating that viscount for the rest of her life.”

I can’t forgive at all.

To satisfy their desires.

To cover up their ugliness.

Trying to destroy a child and his parents? Is this really an accident that can occur when one is born as a human being?

‘Whose will it be?’

I plan to block this with pride.

There is one thing I have definitely realized throughout my life.

That kind of human waste cannot be recycled.

So, we will not stop at blocking it. I will break it down and trample it so that it can never rise again.

The plan for this has already been made and is progressing step by step.

“Camel. As you said, I delivered the artifact to the Viscount.”

Jetti, the head butler of the Darmian family and a grateful helper who was helping me with the process, tapped me on the shoulder.

“The Viscount also agreed. True to your word, he said he would give the artifact as a gift to Rose in front of everyone.”

It was positive news.

The magic engraved on that artifact will nullify all mental magic performed nearby.

“If that happens, there will be grounds to question not only the witnesses but also the count. “If Count Kayden takes Lady Rose, the viscount and knights who are waiting will immediately follow him.”

“What if they don’t comply and try to destroy the evidence?”

“I have a cause, so I should fight back.”

“Can we win? From what I heard, they all know how to use mana.”

“Honestly, I can’t guarantee. I plan to save Rose even if it means sacrificing my life. “What if, just by chance, the Viscount and I fall victim to them…”

The end of the sentence becomes increasingly blurred. When I turn my head, I see Jetty looking very nervous.

“I want you to take Rose and run away. And I hope that somehow this incident will be made public. “No, please.”

“···I understand.”

“Okay. I’ll just go down now. It’s almost time for Rose to come out. Oh, and…”

“···?”

“Thank you. Camel. Sincerely.”

Tuk, thuk.

Jetty tapped my shoulder and then turned and left the room.

Is it because I saw the resolute side of a character who did not appear in the original work because he died?

I don’t know why, but I had a strange, strange feeling.

“Well, does it matter?”

Anyway, as long as I decided to step forward, the outcome was already decided.

“I have the justification and evidence.”

Now there is only one plan left.

When Viscount Darmien confronts Count Caden.

Appears from behind and pulls out a sword.

****

The birthday party went on smoothly.

Guests enjoyed the banquet comfortably, and laughter continued in the banquet hall.

Rose, wearing a pure white dress that fit her body perfectly, appeared when the atmosphere in the banquet hall reached its peak.

How pretty and cute that appearance was.

Rose’s appearance as she came down the stairs was so beautiful that it made one think she was a young angel coming down from heaven.

I was truly amazed when I saw that, and the same was true for the guests who were enjoying their seats in the banquet hall.

A feast of exclamations and compliments coming from all over.

While I was looking around at people and enjoying their reactions, I had to frown.

“Kkeulkeul. “It must be delicious to tear open the wrapping paper.”

Because I saw Count Kayden muttering for a moment with a snake-like smile.

Is that all? I looked to the side and saw Dunkel looking my way and grinning.

‘Are you smiling?’

For some reason, I felt uncomfortable. Did you know I was here? No, if you knew, how did you know?

The moment I was thinking that.

-Clap, clap, clap.

The sound of clapping hands was heard from all over the banquet hall, and I turned my gaze towards Viscount d’Armien.

When I looked there, Viscount Darmien had already handed Rose a small gift box.

This time, we see Rose with flushed cheeks and a happy smile.

Her delicate hands open the lid of the gift box.

Inside the box is a pendant with a red gem.

The red gem glows faintly. The artifact is being activated.

“What a piece of sh*t…”

After checking that far, I immediately turned around and started running.

From noble mtl dot com

This is because the pendant in the box was not the artifact I gave to Jetty, but an artifact with a different magic engraved on it.

The magic engraved on that artifact.

It was hallucination magic, not dispel.

*****

There is only one fortunate thing.

Illusion magic doesn’t work on me.

The reason is because of the [Vessel of Sin] Trait I have, and I am completely immune to all mental-type magic cast by beings of lower rank than me.

Thanks to you, I was able to stay sane and immediately realize that things were going wrong.

But the problem is that my plan was useless, and the illusion magic was activated in the banquet hall.

Where did it go wrong?

I had many doubts, but there was no time to worry.

This is a situation where Rose may be seriously hurt.

So we had to move quickly.

I quickly put on the robe I had packed while running and picked up a helmet that was on display in the hallway.

When I ran down to the banquet hall, people were enjoying the banquet, looking the same as before.

“You bastard…”

But none of these people recognize me.

Looking through the celestial eye, it is indeed different.

Everyone in the banquet hall was under hallucination magic.

I hate to admit it, but I had to admit it. They knew my plans in advance.

Is that all? Rose and Count Kayden are nowhere to be seen.

He changed his position in that short moment.

“···.”

I immediately infused mana into the magic circle engraved on my body.

Then, the remnants of the mana secretly engraved on Rose begin to be felt in the north.

‘Is it in the forest?’

I immediately took off. He tricked the scales and added acceleration magic to his body.

The body becomes as light as a feather and begins to move quickly.

The scenery passing quickly changes from a mansion to a forest.

Gradually, the remnants of mana begin to get closer.

It seems that Count Kayden and Rose are frozen in place.

As my thoughts reached this point, I began to feel nervous and anxious.

‘Just touch it.’

I fooled Libra again. Acceleration magic was added again to the acceleration magic overlaid on the body.

How far did he run like that?

“aaah!”

Rose’s screams were heard from across the room.

“Kkeulkeul, this is all education that will help you, so why are you so rebellious? “Don’t waste your energy needlessly, just stay calm.”

When I arrived at the source of the sound, I saw Rose.

Part of the dress is torn. Her meager shoulder line is clearly visible.

I can hear your gaze. I see the guys holding Rose.

They were wearing helmets like me. The only difference between me and myself is that I am wearing nothing other than underwear and a helmet.

On the other hand, Count Kayden is wearing comfortable clothes and looking at Rose and the beasts from a flat rock.

“Huh… Huh, huh.”

Rose is crying, covering her thin body with her hands over her own shoulders and chest.

Frightened expression,

Tears flowing endlessly from the corners of my eyes,

Limbs and legs trembling.

Anger is rising. My lips are crushed and my teeth are grinding as if they will break.

“Stop.”

When she utters her voice with mana, her cold voice echoes in the clearing.

Has he finally seen me?

“What is that?”

“Has there ever been a short person like that among us? What are you doing, dude? “I have to take it off.”

“Hey kid. Did you come wearing a helmet because you wanted to have fun too? Ah, if you do this, it will be difficult for you, Lady.”

The animals made animal noises, and I placed my hand on the handle of the sword.

I raised my mana to the limit and deceived the balance as much as I could.

Innumerable strengthening and acceleration magics are added.

“What? “Are you going to fight us?”

The beast holding Rose’s right shoulder asked me the obvious.

“hehehe, I taste two blood today.”

The beast holding his left shoulder lifted its sword that was lying on the ground, drooling.

I saw that disgusting sight.

I drew my sword and swung it without any delay.

-Suddenly.

Then a fountain of bright red blood bloomed from both sides of Rose.

The two men who had lost their heads fell down on the spot, and I swung my sword at them again. This time, I adjusted my strength.

-Suddenly.

Then the helmet of an animal behind was cut off.

“···.”

I had to check something, so I adjusted the force.

I didn’t know that he would bow his head and let my blow go.

Nevertheless, the shock must have gone away and part of the helmet falls to the ground, and the guy’s hair flutters in the air.

“Are you smiling?”

Looking at the grinning face of the guy, my stomach twists.

“Oh, it’s difficult to do this.”

The guy muttered as he picked up a sword lying on the floor.

“Je, Je…”

After seeing the guy’s face and the dark blue hair that had fallen to the floor, Rose seemed so shocked that she fell down in place.

“Are you still a human?”

When I saw that, I asked while preparing to swing the sword again.

“Anyway, this is why I hate smart kids.”

Zeti, head of the Darmian household, shook his head as if he knew who I was.
