The Savior of the Villainess in a Romance Novel

15. Extras moving deliberately

“You made a five-pointed star?”

“yes.”

Surprise spilled out of the swordsmanship instructor’s face.

“That’s an incredible growth rate. That’s why the 1st Knights begged so much.”

Even if I think about it, it makes no sense.

Lutera, who is said to be the greatest swordsman of all time, reached the 5-star level at the age of 18, but I am 5-star at the age of 17.

Perhaps he could be called the greatest genius in the history of the empire?

‘Actually, it’s the effect of the privilege.’

The swordsmanship instructor persuaded me with a serious expression.

“You, go to the 1st Knights. There will be no problem with you.”

“I have no intention of doing that.”

“No, listen to the end. If you play an active role in the 1st Knights, you will have a chance to receive a noble title within 10 years. As a commoner, I couldn’t have made it any further than this.”

He’s right. As a commoner, it is true that there is no other way to get ahead.

but.

Even if I was active in the Knights for 10 years and got a noble title, they wouldn’t wait.

Absolutely not.

“It’s 10 years, so I plan to get a noble title within 3 years.”

“What nonsense is that?”

“If you bring a dragon’s head, at least you can get the title of baron or viscount. No, would the count be able to do it?”

The instructor sighed.

“It’s good to have big dreams, but you also have to know how to see the reality. Catching a dragon is a story that was only possible for the first emperor Elowis. We need the right members.”

A new commonality between reality and fantasy worlds.

The point is to desperately convince students about their career path.

Don’t you usually do it in the 2nd or 3rd grade? I’m still in first grade

“⋯I’ll think about it.”

“Okay, think about it. You have to think and feel for yourself what will help you in the future.”

“Then excuse me.”

Career counseling with instructors has ended.

If it had been me right after being possessed, I would have listened to it with one ear and spilled it with the other, saying not to talk bullsh*t.

To be honest, I’m not confident right now.

No matter how young he was to reach the 5-star level, 3 years is too short for him to be active enough to earn a title, judging from his current growth.

I am in anguish.

If you think about the original story, there must be an opportunity.

“ah!”

I remembered one thing.

Someone who has overwhelming power to push me if I help.

Line Estupina.

The Estupina duchy, one of the four major dukes, is the family of those who are said to be masters of alchemy.

People who make no sense to make gold out of lead and diamonds out of gold.

Princess Estupina is looking for a plant called Mandragora for her alchemy, and I am the only one who knows the location of Mandragora and how to dig it.

Although it will affect the original work to some extent…

The original, already twisted anyway.

In the future, it won’t be a big deal if you tell me what you’re looking for quickly.

Besides, she’s one of the villains I have to attack.

No problem so far.

Line is a strict and flawless perfectionist.

And the betrothal is also the little sun of the empire, the crown prince.

Probably the most difficult of all the villains I’ve ever met.

What can I do though? For me right now, this is the best solution.

Go to Princess Estupina.

***

When I went to Princess Estupina’s room, her direct knight greeted me.

“What are commoners doing here?”

“The princess has an business.”

The knight looked at me sharply and warned me.

“The Princess is not someone you can meet just anyone. to go back.”

“Even if I have the necessary information for the princess?”

“⋯⋯.”

The knight frowned and started glaring at me.

But after a while, the door to the room opened.

“The Princess is asking you to attend.”

As soon as I entered the room, the princess went straight to the point.

“Did you say you have the information I want to know?”

“Yes, but it’s not information that I can tell anyone…”

The knights and servants withdrew at once with the gaze of the princess.

“Yeah, tell me once. If it’s false information or not worth listening to, you’ll know after that, right?”

“Of course I know. Trust me, you will never regret it.”

I continued talking, maintaining my unwavering eyes.

“I know the location of Mandragora that the Princess is looking for.”

The princess’s eyes widened.

“Where did you get the information that I was looking for Mandragora?”

Oh sh*t, I didn’t even think about that.

I spit out a story I made up to deflect suspicion.

“I heard the nobles whispering in front of the dormitory. They say they are bribing various information to find the location of Mandragora…”

“Were there any rumors like that?”

“Yes, since I am a user, I can hear most of the sounds. I came to inform the princess after hearing the chatter of the nobles.”

Judging by the twisted brow, the princess’ doubts were still unresolved.

“So, what did you want, so you came to me?”

“Please make the Duke of Estupina my assistant.”

“Back boat? Do you even want a title?”

“That’s right. I want a title of nobility.”

The princess started tapping her fingers on the desk as if she was interested.

“Haven’t you already obtained the title of Duke Edelian? The 1st Knights made a fuss to take him away.”

“That doesn’t work. Because I only have three years.”

“3 years? Is there a reason?”

“Because of a personal commitment. If you accept my offer, I will bring you not only the information, but also the mandragora itself.”

Jump up. The princess rose from her seat.

“Do you know what it means to pull out a mandragora?”

i don’t know that

Whoever pulls out the mandragon is cursed on the spot.

Mandrara, which is said to bring the dead back to life. Along with its overwhelming efficacy, it comes with a corresponding curse.

The effect of the curse differs depending on the person, but in the case of the princess, it was a curse that made her have three personalities.

I answered calmly.

“Of course, I know that I am cursed. That’s why I’m going to bring it instead.”

“Is a title of nobility worth it to you? Enough to be cursed without knowing what effect it has?”

“That’s right.”

Curse it.

In fact, it doesn’t matter if you are cursed.

It’s better to drink water from the fountain of life in the fairy forest.

Of course, I know where the fairy forest is.

I want to go straight to the fountain of life, but if I sneak in and get caught, things will get worse.

Therefore, the curse comes first and goes. That way you can make excuses later.

dump. The princess sat down and said.

“I accept the offer.”

“I will not disappoint your expectations.”

I finally left the room with this answer.

***

“Lady Mikaris. Would you like to eat together tonight?”

“If you want.”

Mikaris always gives the same answer. ‘If you want.’

A happy answer for me, but not a very good one. Because you can’t express your opinion yet.

Well, it will get better with time.

“What would you like to eat?”

“Are you buying it again?”

“I want to buy it for you.”

After all, Miss Mikaris! My heart is heavy.

Since the day I went to see the fireworks, Mikaris has been considerably hurt.

Did you like the date that day? It feels like the steps that normally seemed heavy and the expression that used to be dark disappeared.

“Can I eat the veal steak I ate last time?”

“okay. If you want something more, order it.”

and! There were so many things I wanted to eat.

Mikaris had a simple course meal, and I ordered veal steak and fried beef at the restaurant.

“I always feel that the academy cafeteria is really delicious. To the point where I always want to eat here.”

“Then, eat with me from now on. I will buy you any time.”

“really? Then, will you continue to eat only with the lady?”

“So…”

The corners of Mikaris’ lips went up and he seemed happy.

I stopped forking and brought up Mikaris about Mandragora.

“My lady, I think I have to go back to my parents’ house for work next week.”

Mikaris stared at me with widened eyes.

“what? why?”

“Because something happened. I will be back soon though.”

“What is it?”

“It’s nothing. Our family is a family of adventurers, right? You can think of it as similar to family education.”

As if relieved by the family story, Mikaris began to enjoy cooking again.

“Can I not worry?”

“sure. I am going to keep my promise to you.”

“What?”

Mikaris’ face turned red.

From noble mtl dot com

That reaction is always good to see. always new

“Actually, I made a deal with the princess. They say that if I do it right, he will help me obtain a noble title.”

“transaction? what deal?”

“It’s just a matter of bringing certain ingredients. Maybe next week.”

“okay? As long as it’s not too dangerous, that’s fine.”

“By the way, I’m worried about who the young lady is eating with while I’m gone.”

Mikaris’ eyebrows twitched.

I wanted to talk about Ronia at this time.

“Miss, how about getting along with Lady Ronia? We also practiced dungeons together…”

“Because I’m not good at getting along with anyone…. If you say so, I will try.”

“Good idea. By the time I get back, is it okay to think of the scene where we all eat together?”

“⋯yes.”

Looking at it now, Mikaris’ ears are red. Are you ashamed?

I want her to know that I’m not the only one she can depend on.

Those who were called the wicked women of this world are actually all good people. Like today’s Mikaris.

Because I think I came to this world to make them happy.

“If you’ve finished eating, shall we go? I will escort you to your room.”

“huh. let’s go.”

Mikaris naturally took my hand.

She didn’t say a word while being escorted. I felt embarrassed that my ears were still red.

“Lady, let’s go in!”

“Thanks for escort.”

Mikaris entered the room.

“After…”

I took a deep breath and made up my mind.

I don’t know what kind of curse Mandragora’s curse is.

Despite being cursed, the reason why people go to get Mandragora is not simply because of their nobility.

Line Estupina of the 4th Duke of the Empire.

Even so, due to the influence of Mandragora, I became a third person…

To make things worse, the crown prince tries to kill her by feeding her poisoned tea to break up the marriage talks with the duke.

Fortunately, his life was saved, but after that, the pressure from the imperial family and the family became stronger and his personality went crazy.

Using his long-term alchemy, he distributes poison for assassination and creates a slave market. She commits all sorts of crimes and becomes a villain called the king of the underworld.

As a bonus, he said he didn’t like the main character, so kidnapping was the default.

Somehow the main character seems to be the root of all evil, but I don’t know what the author was thinking when he created the worldview like this.

I can’t wait to see the world ruined like this.

‘Only for the wicked women.’

***

“You want to take care of your absence for a while?”

“Yes, I don’t think I will be able to come to the academy next week to be taught at my parents’ home.”

The academy administration official scratched his chin.

“Yeah, well, I know the reason, so have a good trip. Oh, you have to come right during the exam period?”

“Yes, you are suffering.”

After I went to the administrative class, I finished preparing the plan by packing weapons and potions.

The place where Mandragora is located is the Screaming Mountains.

The Screaming Mountains got its name because all the people who went there went crazy.

The reason is Mandragora’s influence.

Harvesting Mandragora induces hallucinations in a person, stimulating the person’s trauma and causing fear.

Whether it’s a ghost or a demon.

Because of this, there are no people or demons, so it is rather a safer place than any other place.

As long as you keep your mind straight, you won’t have any problems.

So I headed for the Screaming Mountains.
