ICTV - Chapter 55
I Changed The Villain
“Oh, you can’t talk too close. I don’t want to be misunderstood.”
If you know that well, shouldn't you pretend to be friendly at all?
Beryl seemed to have sensed my thoughts and stepped forward.
“You know my sister. Excuse me, may I know your name?”
“I’m late for an introduction. My name is Edgar Credrian.”
“Credrian?”
Beryl's eyebrows rose. When did his sister become friends with such a famous person?
Beryl immediately lowered his head.
“It is an honor to meet someone who is praised as the Saint of Harmonia.”
"...Yes. People call me that.”
“My name is Beryl Pale.”
"Yes. I know. I recognized you right away thanks to those green eyes.”
Edgar smiled kindly.
“You may be older than me, so please speak comfortably. I don’t really like formalities.”
Beryl shook his head.
“How could I do that to someone I just met today?”
Edgar became sullen.
“It’s really okay….”
"..."
The corner of Beryl's eye twitched. It was natural to be agitated to see such a gentle human being, having only seen me indifferently ignoring whatever was said and Belial responding sarcastically.
Beryl looked up at the sky and spoke in a low voice.
“...Then I’ll take it easy.”
“Really? I’m glad!”
Edgar took Beryl's hand and shook it up and down. Beryl's face has been pale for a long time now.
Beryl quickly turned his head and spoke to me.
'What is this, it's hard to deal with.'
As expected, the male protagonist. It immediately embarrassed Beryl of the world. Beryl kept begging her to take the baby away, but I just didn't care.
In the end, Beryl couldn't stand it anymore and screamed.
“Hey, how can you be so cruel to your younger brother!”
“What, why, what?”
Edgar is bickering with round eyes looking at the two in turn.
“Well, looking at you two like this...”
Before Edgar could finish his sentence, I spoke clearly.
“Never say we look alike. Because I feel bad.”
Beryl raised his eyes.
“Who knows what feels good, you pumpkin flower?”
“It’s noisy, brother.”
Beryl and I glanced at each other. It looks just like a cat, Edgar exclaimed.
Beryl's eyes landed on Iris standing behind her.
“Can I ask who the kid in the back is?”
“This is the child I am sponsoring. She’s so smart, she’ll definitely do great things in the future.”
Iris gracefully lifted the hem of her skirt.
“It is an honor to meet you. My name is Iris Ionette.”
“Who is that child behind Lady Pale?”
Taksha came forward as stiff as chopsticks.
“He works at our mansion. Taksha, please tell her your name.”
He can't make mistakes. Taksha introduced himself with exactly that kind of face.
“It is called Taksha. I’m working under Master Beryl.”
Although his voice was a little shaky, it was a flawless introduction. Iris looked at Takshq, who took a step back and hid behind Beryl. Edgar smiled faintly
“What a cute kid.”
“Thank you… .”
“Anyway, where were you two going? You'll seem quite in a hurry.”
"Right."
Beryl, who realized it too late, checked the time on his pocket watch and was about to scream, but was able to maintain his senses with superhuman strength.
“We were going to see the exhibition, but it was past opening time. If we go now, I'm sure we’ll have to wait in line."
The next plan also fell like dominoes. What on earth did he commit in his past life? At other times, he hoped that good luck would continue on this trip.
As Beryl bit his lip, I patted him on the back. Edgar asked, just in case.
“Is that exhibition, by any chance, this exhibition?”
Edgar held out the pamphlet he was holding in one hand. Beryl's eyes widened.
“We were on our way to see it too. If it’s okay with you, would you like to join us?”
"What?"
“Now I understand. The reason we met here. I'm sure the God Harmonia will help you, so let's meet... .”
Edgar's words suddenly stopped.
“Why are you doing this?”
Edgar quickly shook his head.
“No, bite your tongue. Sorry. Anyway, come with us. Then you can go right in.”
Iris also helped.
“The person who organized this exhibition is acquainted with Edgar.”
"Well. I wonder if we can do that.”
“It’s really okay. About four people.”
"But."
“You don’t have to feel burdened.”
Rather than feeling burdened, Beryl just didn't want the group to increase any further. As Beryl continued to hesitate in answering, Edgar saw through his heart.
Edgar smiled brightly.
“When you enter the exhibition hall, we move separately. It would be more comfortable for both of us.”
“Oh, then I’ll be shameless and please take care of us.”
It's an unimaginable combination. I stared blankly at Beryl and Edgar who were ahead of me A gentle wind began to blow between the two, incomparable to when I was with Belial.
“Are you indebted to me? Don’t feel sorry just like this.”
"No. Thanks to you, I was able to prevent today's plans from being ruined. Let’s eat together next time.”
“Ah, then would you like to attend the discipleship party instead of eating?”
“Charity party?”
“I’ve already sent an invitation to Lady Pale. You got it, right? Lady Pale?”
I nodded.
“I was getting anxious because I didn’t get a reply, but I guess I can get an answer here. Are you going to attend?”
Right. I completely forgot to write a reply and send it. I nodded.
“Yes, I will attend.”
"Really?!"
Edgar's voice suddenly grew louder. It was so big that I took a step back.
“...Didn’t you send it because you wanted me to attend? Why are you so freaked out? Do you not want me to come?”
“That can’t be possible!”
Edgar stubbornly denied it.
“I was just surprised. I thought you might not like crowded places, but you gladly accepted it.”
“It’s true that I don’t like crowds of people.”
“Then perhaps…!”
The moment Edgar's voice got louder, I responded.
“So I wasn’t going to go, but Belial told me to go.”
"... Ah, him.”
Edgar nodded.
“It will be held after the engagement ceremony, so Belial will be able to attend leisurely.”
“Hey, Young Lady lady.”
I looked at Edgar. Edgar opened his mouth awkwardly.
“If it’s okay with you, then…”
“Yes, go ahead and say it.”
At that time, Iris caught Edgar's eye. Edgar hurriedly turned his back on me.
"No. Let’s go now.”
It's bland. I shrugged and Beryl crossed his arms and looked at Edgar silently.
Guided by Edgar, we quickly arrived at the exhibition hall. Filled with excitement, Edgar passed through the chattering crowd at the entrance of the exhibition hall and told the guide his name. As the guide ran away in a huff, Edgar turned his head.
“Follow me around the exhibition hall.”
“If you’re that worried, why don’t you just carry me?”
“Do you want to?”
“I’m sorry, I was too easy on you.”
Meanwhile, I was arguing with Beryl again. He looked so comfortable that it was incomparable to when he was with me.
“You don’t even know what shame is, right? A person like this should lead the Pale family. Ha, it's no wonder my parents are worried."
“I asked you to carry me first, why are you talking so rudely?!”
Beryl shook me.
“Why is this girl who pretends to be obedient and good in front of her parents, but why is she making such a fuss in front of her only brother? I mean, be a little pretentious even in front of me!!”
“I don’t like it! What’s so pretty about you?”
From that conversation, Edgar noticed that I was closest to Beryl in the family.
Belial, Beryl doesn't think she'd feel that comfortable around Beli either.
At that time, I noticed something over Beryl's shoulder.
"What is that?"
“Oh, there’s a picture hanging outside too.”
A realistic painting of a sand castle was hanging on the wall. Beryl was impressed.
“Wow, it really looks like a sand castle.”
“Yes, that’s why I’m sad.”
“Huh? Why are you suddenly saying that you're sad?"
I shrugged.
“It looks like it might collapse if you touch it.”
“If it falls down, it’s a sand castle, but what’s wrong with that?”
“… … I know. I feel sad when I see that sand castle.”
Edgar's eyes slowly widened as he listened to the conversation between the two from behind. Edgar reached out to me.
"You are...."
“Edgar!!”
At that time, a woman came running out in a huff. Edgar hurriedly withdrew his hand and smiled like a painting.
"Long time no see. Madam Monica.”
“You came this year. Thank you, Goddess Harmonia.”
Madame Monica held Edgar's hand tightly. Edgar smiled sheepishly.
“I’m sorry, I try to stop by as often as possible, but things are getting busier.”
"I know. Edgar wants to help as many people as possible. There’s no way I wouldn’t understand Edgar’s deep meaning.”
“Thank you for your understanding, Ma’am.”
“I look forward to seeing many great performances from Edgar in the future.”
Madame Monica lightly hit Edgar on the shoulder and then turned her head.
“But there are many faces I haven’t seen today.”
“These are my guests. I brought them here because I wanted to show them the great exhibition of the Lovenica Festival. Is that okay?”
“If they are Edgar’s guests, of course, you are welcome! Come this way! I will guide you personally! I’ll even explain the pictures!”
“Ah, these people...”
“Come! Come!”
Edgar blocked Lady Monica's path.
“Mardam Monica. I'm sorry."
