ICTV - Chapter 5
I Changed The Villain
James poured hot black tea into a teacup and withdrew. After taking a sip, I raised my fork.
"It's very good."
Mont Blanc is still delicious. Belial pushed other desserts in front of me.
"I'm glad you like it."
"Why don't you try it too, Belial?"
"Ah. I'm fine."
"Don't do that."
I cut Mont Blanc and fed him. Belial was conflicted and ate it. The handsome man is also handsome when he eats.
"How is it?"
"It's delicious."
"The chef's skills are amazing, right?"
Belial shook his head resolutely.
"No, it's delicious to eat with you."
I asked, continuing to cut the cake with a fork.
"Did Belial have breakfast?"
"No."
"How about last night?”
"..."
Belial was silent. I kept talking while eating Mont Blanc.
"It's good to eat meals on time."
"I'm busy with work..."
"You're not going to work right now, are you?"
As long as he became the head of the household, he would only do his job until his successor was decided. You have to work while eating three meals a day to be a parent for a long time. When I cast reproachful glances at my future self, Belial averted my gaze as if he had no face.
"After breaking up with you, I don't have an appetite ."
"Oh, by the way, it's me who was dumped."
"Yes?"
Mont Blanc was so delicious that I forgot to eat it. It's probably the Mont Blanc fault. Whoever said it was so delicious, I'll eat it without any crumbs as punishment. I took another bite of the Mont Blanc and tasted the Belial.
Is it true that he suffered so much that he skipped meals? Overnight, he had been very emaciated. His face was too pure white, and there were dark shadows under his eyes.
"If anyone sees it, they'll think it's me who asked to break up with you."
But even in the midst of this, being handsome is a trap. Is this the beauty of decadence? What is that precarious atmosphere, like standing on the edge of a cliff? I continued.
"What should I do if you say goodbye and live like this? You have to live well as if you were showing off to me."
Belial said nothing and brushed his hair. It was just a simple motion, but a seductive atmosphere was added to the precarious atmosphere. It is like seeing a demon tempting people to fall into a pit of persimmons.
I'm glad Belial isn't a demon. It would have ruined many people's lives. Ah. It has already ruined many people's lives. It was the moment I thought so.
"Don't you hate me?"
Belial asked abruptly.
"I said goodbye to you and ran away from the spot."
This son of a bitch in the world is reflecting on not being aware of his mistakes. I really can't get used to this.
“I thought you would hate me for the rest of your life. But to come to visit me the very next day..."
"..."
"I'm happy, but that's just as miserable for me."
Belial shook her head.
"Do you really want me to hate you?"
"I wished so much. I've already said it, but you have to meet someone better than me."
I feel a strong will. Is it time to tell the truth? I raised my arm and hesitated.
“You are so beautiful and so understanding.”
What do we do? A cold sweat ran down my forehead. An unexpected problem occurred.
"I'm sure you'll meet some nice people."
'Don't throw me away! I can't live without you!'
While saying this, I cried and tugged at the hem of my clothes, but I ran my fingers around my eyes.
"Please go home. Forget about people like me, and accept my parting gift that I send in the afternoon. I'm going to send it to you..."
I can't shed any tears. Plus, I'm not even angry. No one who came screaming with an expressionless face wouldn't be sincere. No matter how insensitive I am, I know that much. Should I just leave the table?
No. That's it. No way. The table was full of untouched desserts. Looking at the ruined desserts, I could imagine the sad chef. This is the all-around popularity.
"Rose?"
Ah. If that's the case, just... I asked seriously while resting my chin on it.
“What is the criteria for a good person?”
"Yes?"
“Who is a good person?”
To my question, Belial hesitated before answering.
“A person who is the opposite of me must be a good person.”
“Who said that to you?”
There was silence for a moment. Belial tilted her head.
"Do I have to say that with my own mouth?"
Belial immediately shook her head.
"I can't come here to answer your question."
"Then do it."
Long fingers stretched out. Having an unexpected time for self-reflection, Belial picked up each of my fingers.
“If I get something I want, I somehow manage to get it, and if it goes wrong, I punish anyone, and I absolutely cannot tolerate even the slightest mistake.”
Belial's voice gradually faded.
"You're innocent..."
Oh. Can I finally hear the words I couldn't hear back then? I got excited. Belial, who was speechless for a while, grabbed his face with the palm of his hand.
"I can't really tell you this. I'm sorry. Rose."
It's a pity that you can't hear me today. But I didn't bother to ask. Everyone has at least one thing they want to hide. Above all, I wasn't too curious. I decided to go back to the main topic.
“You know that since you were born into a noble family, you must marry a noble family, right?
“Of course I know.”
"Then you probably know that there are no good people among the nobles."
"Yes?"
“I mean everyone is a little bit like you.”
Didn't I know it well? Other nobles also committed murder for a greater cause. It's almost impossible to find good people here. If you are in good condition, you can find it. I muttered as I stroked my chin.
"Ah. I can't even find someone with good conditions."
"Rose?"
"My family isn’t even known to others. At least I met you and my name became known to people.”
"Rose.."
Belial called my name again, but I didn't even pretend to hear.
"Since I broke up with you, I'm looking at you again. I'll be nobody."
Of course, my mother and father will find the best possible marriage for me. But, there will be no one who treats me as preciously as Belial. They'll treat you well when you're pretty, but they'll treat you badly when you're older.
I closed my eyes and nodded.
“What you wished for my happiness would rather bring unhappiness to me."
"..."
"But it can't be helped. If your heart is still..."
Suddenly, Belial became serious.
"Let's get married."
***
"Shall I take you home?"
"No. That's fine."
James politely opened the door. I shook my head.
"Can I get you a carriage from here?"
"The Pale family's carriage is waiting."
“Then, I will escort you to the place where the wagon is.”
"I have something to think about. Hurry up and go to Belial."
James nodded. Grabbing the railing, he went down the stairs. There's something to grab here, so I think I'll survive. After being possessed by this body, I hated the stairs even more. How often does the hem of the skirt get caught?
Throw.
'Because I'm going to kill you.'
Next time the seamstress comes, I will ask her to make several dresses that she can wear comfortably.
As I grumbled down the last flight of stairs, I saw Mera waiting. Mera was chatting with the maids who worked here. It was an extremely normal conversation, such as saying that the weather is nice these days, so it's best to take a walk, and that the knights training at the gymnasium are so cool. Mera found me while giggling with her mouth covered.
"Oh, the Lady is here."
"Then let's go for now."
"Have a safe trip."
The maids bowed their heads to me as well and hurriedly left. Mera looked at the backs of the maids and felt nostalgic.
“Today is the last time I talk to the maids here.”
"Okay?"
“I’m sorry, but I can’t help it. I promised to support you."
Mera stretched all the way. Then she put her hands on her waist and asked cheerfully.
"How is it, Lady? Did you come clean and tidy?"
"We're getting married."
"Are you really good?"
The knife didn't hit, but it seems to have succeeded about halfway. I take the original route again. Because it's done.
Mera shows a fierce face. She was astonished
