ICTV - Chapter 26
I Changed The Villain
In terms of appearance, it could be said that he was beyond human.
In contrast to the man, that man was dressed in pure white from head to toe. Pure white robes, silver gray cloak with light blue lining. Even the hair that was tied up in one piece was pure white and silver. The man’s plump lips moved.
“Hello, Young Lady.”
Rose's eyes widened. It seems like he knows me. Why? No, I don't know when Belial discovered myself before that. Rose waited for Belial throughout the party and only looked for Belial. However, there was not even a trace of Belial visible, so I was about to give up.
No way.
“Among so many young ladies, you especially stood out.”
Did you deliberately kill my presence and watch me? I've been watching the party since it started. Rose was puzzled for a moment before the man stuck himself in the corpse's neck.
He took out the tongue dagger and told me the reason.
“This is my first time seeing someone with hair as red as blood as yours.”
Blood flowed down as if it had been waiting, soaking the floor. Belial held out his blood-stained sword. But Rose couldn't care less about that. Because,
"How is it? Isn’t it really as beautiful as the Lady’s hair?”
Belial le Serenity. Because the man I had been looking for so long took an interest in me as soon as he saw me. Belial stood next to pass the sword to the guard knight and smiled mischievously.
Rose's heart began to beat the fastest since coming to this world.
He has the worst personality which wouldn't be surprising even if he killed me right now. It's really the best.
Rose was filled with joy and did not move, and the knight, who took Rose's appearance in a different light, spoke carefully.
“Duke. If you say something like that to a weak Young Lady… She must be really shocked.”
"I'm kidding."
Belial patted the guard knight on the shoulder.
“I couldn’t have really said that, right?... I was short-thinking. I wish I knew now.”
Belial's hand moved from the knight's shoulder to his neck. The moment the guard knight was startled by those cold hands, Belial whispered.
“Be careful next time.”
Belial tenderly picked up the knight's collar.
It was sorted out. The guard knight hurriedly backed away. His hands are shaking.
“Young lady.”
Belial approached Rose.
“I would like to formally apologize. I unintentionally showed a bad side of myself.”
"..."
“Young lady?”
Rose still didn't move. I just stared at the corpse again and again. Belial is just pointed his finger at the other escort knights. The guard knights belatedly took off their cloaks and covered the body.
“Excuse me for a moment, Young lady.”
Belial lightly squeezed Rose's chin. The smooth skin felt great around his fingers. Belial held Rose's chin and looked closely into Rose's eyes. He felt it was beautiful from afar, but it was even more beautiful when she stood up close.
How did such a daughter come from the Pale family, which had no power or reputation?
At that time, Rose's pupils moved. Belial immediately let go of Rose's chin.
“You didn’t faint while standing."
“...Of course not.”
“I feel relieved that things seem to have calmed down a bit now.”
“I haven’t calmed down.”
"Yes?"
The heart continues to beat at a fast pace. When I saw not one, but five corpses, I realized how strong Belial was. They say he was so strong that it was difficult for him to die.
Because it was possible. People are not surprised. In front of Belial, I am nothing more than a sunfish.
If Belial swings his sword even once, I will die instantly. A desire that may or may not occur once in a thousand years appeared in Rose's eyes.
I would like to change places with someone among these people. I want to lie on the floor bleeding too! Because I…
'If you commit suicide, I will die too.'
Even if I wanted to commit suicide, I couldn't. Rose clenched her fists.
“What kind of people are these people?."
“This is an assassin who tried to take my life."
No matter what, are you always planning on giving such absurd sermons like that when you shouldn't kill people?
Very occasionally, there were great ladies who deliberately pretended to be good and upright in order to attract attention. Is this Lady also that type?
Belial glanced at Rose once again. She was beautiful too. No matter what she says, he is willing to listen to it at least a little bit. However,
“Would you believe me if I told you I was an assassin too?”
He never thought she would say something like this. Belial's eyes widened.
Rose belatedly covered her mouth. He was so excited that she revealed her purpose openly. How could it be possible to destroy the original work like this...!
Belial chuckled.
“You’re as good at telling practical jokes as I am.”
Well, that's right, the original version of my topic is
What is it? Rose was relieved as she hugged her empty chest.
“But you make fun of me with jokes like that.”
"It is impossible to say that. You should have brought a weapon. Then I would have done it."
Weapon. Rose's eyes brightened again.
“So give up.”
Rose politely asked the knight standing nearby.
“Please lend me a weapon.”
"...Sorry."
"No. I asked for an unreasonable request in the first place.”
What is this woman? The escort knights had a hard time managing their facial expressions. At that time, Belial burst out laughing, incomparably louder than before. But it didn't seem frivolous at all. On the contrary, it was so beautiful that everyone who saw it also became happy. It's like seeing a God rejoicing in the sacrifices offered by humans.
It seems there is. Belial wiped away the tears that had formed at the corners of his eyes.
“Did the joke I told you earlier offend you that much?”
If the way you spoke earlier was just a regular cake, the way you speak now is that it's just a cake on top.
It was whipped cream. Rose felt as if she would melt just by touching it with her tongue, and her body also lost strength.
“The Lady’s hair resembles a rose rather than blood.”
Tuk.
Belial reached out to the bush and picked a rose.
“So please let go of your anger.”
“I’m not angry.”
No. It's better to just think of it that way. Rose kept her mouth shut. Belial placed a rose flower in Rose's hair.
“If you do this, you really can’t tell who is the rose, Lady Pale.”
The colors are similar and the surroundings are dark, so of course you can't tell them apart. Rose touched the rose flower.
“You know my name.”
“The Pale family has a daughter like a rose. I’ve heard a few rumors about it.”
“Did you just recognize me based on those rumors?”
“I saw you for the first time today, but I could tell at first glance that you were the person behind the rumor. The Lady’s red hair was so beautiful.”
Belial held out his hand. This is the restaurant that Rose saw at the party earlier.
“Lady Pale. Would you like to delay returning to the mansion and at least take a walk with me?”
The spirit was so shy that it could be seen from afar. But Belial didn't feel that way.
I could only feel confident that there was no way I was going to get killed.
“It’s good.”
Rose said, placing her hand on top of his hand.
“It’s an honor.”
Belial ordered the guard knights to return. The escort knights disappeared in an instant. Belial took off his cloak as soon as all the signs around him disappeared.
“Please put it on, Young Lady. The night air is cold.”
“I won’t decline.”
The knights led by Belial are in the imperial palace.
They were great people who could compete with knights, but because the person serving them was Belial, they had no sense of sense and seemed insignificant. This is why relative evaluation is cruel.
Rose wrapped herself in a cozy cloak.
“You suit it better than me.”
"Is that so?"
Belial bent down and tied the cloak strings tightly. He could feel the sweet scent of roses from Rose. She's already a flower-like person, but she can even smell like a rose. Belial muttered.
“I don’t think it will be boring for a while."
"Yes?"
Belial shook his head and smiled like a painting.
“It’s nothing, My Lady.”
"..."
“Shall we go now, Young Lady?”
The two took steps again. Belial seemed to be enjoying his long-awaited walk, but Rose was not. In fact, Rose wondered what Belial had said earlier.
She had heard it clearly. Rose was in deep agony.
Should she really question whether she didn’t hear that? Or should she just pretend not to hear it?
In fact, I'm really curious to see how Belial will react. But if you think about the future, you should choose the latter.
“Ah, the clouds covering the moon have disappeared.”
"I know, right."
I guess I'll have to bury my curiosity for now. Rose walked after Belial.
He stopped.
“The moon is so bright.”
“Duke Serenity is brighter.”
In this situation, if you say, ‘I don’t think it will be boring for a while,’ the mood will be ruined and it will become impossible to revive. Rose gazed endlessly at the moon and then touched her forehead.
Ah, I suddenly understand the feelings of the romance fantasy authors I’ve read so far.
It is up to the readers to know how the male lead feels?
You have to inform the crab and maintain a romantic atmosphere. So, after much deliberation, the writers probably made sure that in this situation, the female lead would not know what the male lead said.
Without even knowing that I became pathetic at myself for being frustrated and wondering why the lead female, who used to have bright ears, always turns deaf in situations like this.
“Are you making a wish to the moon? You have a pure side, My Lady.”
I'm sorry for frustrating you without knowing the deeper meaning, Writers. The writers couldn't have helped it either. Rose put her hands together and made an apology that she couldn't reach.

“Miss! Lady!!”
A few days later, the hallway shook with Mera's kicks. The maids who were washing the windows frowned, but Mera did not slow down.
“There’s a big problem! Look at this quickly!”
Mera hurriedly took out the letter from her pocket.
“Dear Lady! Oh my, what a surprise!”
Rose was in the thick sleeping bag Beryl used when camping. Master Beryl made a fuss about the sleeping bag that had been left lying out in the sun gone, and it was here. Mera pointed to the sleeping bag with a trembling palm.
“What are you doing in there, Lady? What a Young Lady.”
The sleeping bag flipped over and Rose's face turned toward the ceiling.
“I’m not a Lady, I’m a chrysalis.”
“...Then when will you come out of it and become a butterfly?”
“When breathing doesn’t bother you, I’ll come out.”
“When you see this, you will instantly become a butterfly.”
"What?"
Mera held out the letter to Rose. On the outside of the letter, a snake wrapped around a sword was engraved. The Serenity family is the only family that uses something like that as a seal.
Wait, the Serenity family? Rose's eyes opened brightly.
“Give it to me!”
"Miss…?!"
Rose quickly snatched the letter before Mera could react. While walking with Belial, the only thing I remembered was apologizing to the writers, so I thought I was screwed...!
Rose opened the envelope.
