ICTV - Chapter 92
I change The Villain
"... No. It looks so normal that it's ridiculous."
Belial smiled mischievously.
"I'm really fine. So Rose, just mind your own body."
Okay, now that I think about it, there's no way Belial is having a hard time. I suddenly felt aggrieved and suddenly pulled all the food in front of Belial towards me.
I'm really worried about the future. I think I understand why married people seek out healthy food for sore feet. Of course, Belial shouldn't even smell it.
I glanced at Belial, and Belial said slyly.
"I should tell you to prepare lunch with as much fatty food as possible. You're so..."
"Weak?"
Belial waved his hand as if it was no surprise.
"I was going to use the word pitiful."
"Either weak or pitiful."
"Ah, the maids sent by my brother arrived 30 minutes ago. I had them wait in my room for now."
I ate my chicken soup with a spoon, glancing at Belial, who was quickly changing the subject.
"Your maids were lively today too."
"That's the advantage of my maids."
And I thought. Ah, it's so peaceful and relaxing. It's hard to believe that something like that happened yesterday.
I wiped my mouth with a napkin.
"Have you eaten everything? Please eat some more."
"I'm full now."
The weather is nice and the food is delicious. Belial, sitting across from me, also looks very happy. It would be great if this atmosphere could be maintained forever, but that is impossible.
"Belial."
Even if you want it. Belial smiled brightly at my call. I opened my mouth. And I deliberately asked questions I hadn't asked before.
"How do you feel now?"
"Of course, I'm very happy."
My hand on the table overlapped with Belial's hand.
"Now you can no longer doubt my sincerity."
"I don't think so."
Belial's eyes momentarily sank.
"Either you're lying to me, or I'm mistaken."
The old Rose couldn't see anything because she couldn't even take care of herself. But not now.
"Belial, you're angry."
I see you. And that is too clear.
I covered the back of Belial's hand with my other hand. No matter how deep a lake is, you can see the bottom if you are willing to immerse yourself in it.
During this time, it was as if I was standing on the deck without a drop of water splashing on it, just looking at the surface of the lake.
I continued.
"You wanted to use this opportunity to isolate the two of us, right?"
A rare villain suddenly fell in love one day and became a new person?
In reality, this is absolutely impossible. This is literally only possible in romance fantasy novels.
"But my family didn't just believe me, they actively tried to tell others the truth, so I was angry."
No matter how much you repress instincts, they tend to pop out unconsciously. It's still like that right now.
Belial's face was slowly distorting.
"Don't you remember what I said yesterday?"
Belial knew from the beginning that I had approached him so he would kill me. But for some reason, he fell in love with me with all his heart, and he played as a sweet lover out of his desire to have me by his side.
But can a greedy spider act like a delicate butterfly for the rest of his life?
Belial was reaching his limit. So when Edgar confessed to me, he must have been happy on the inside.
If he fights Edgar in a public place, he may be able to relieve some of his anger, but at the same time, he may become isolated. Turning crises into opportunities was Belial's specialty.
"Because there is no way I would abandon you when everyone criticizes you. Isn't that right?"
"..."
"More than anything, if I continue to stick with you, I will naturally get criticized and have no way to interact with other people."
When there is no place to return to, I have no choice but to stay by Belial's side even if my feelings cool down later. There is no need to worry or act desperately.
But there was something Belial overlooked. As I relaxed, my horizons broadened.
I continued to stroke Belial's face.
"Now I can see you. Do you remember what I said last night?"
"..."
"Even the scars and greed are beautiful."
People love beautiful things, and I love Belial, who is beautiful even with his scars and greed. Eternity is not granted to humans, but this time, I dare to speak of eternity in a human body.
"I will be by your side forever, Belial."
Belial still said nothing.
"You don't have to suppress your true feelings. You had a hard time all this time. So now..."
Me and Belial's lips got closer.
I whispered one last time.
"You can reveal your true feelings."
Whatever you do, I'll gladly accept it.
With those words, it was the moment when I was about to kiss him.
"Rose."
Belial grabbed my shoulder and pushed me away. Belial stood up.
"I really don't know what you're talking about."
"... Yes?"
"... I've said this several times already, but I'll say it again."
Belial closed his eyes once and then opened them. Belial's eyes were clearer than ever.
"Don't look at me from the past. Look at me before your eyes."
"..."
"Please don't reject my sincerity."
With those words, Belial turned his back.
I looked at Belial's back as he walked away stupidly.
***
"What are you doing?"
Wow. The man said while biting into a whole large baguette...
"I'm not going in quickly."
"..."
Violet, holding a basket decorated with silk, looked up at the Pale family mansion.
It was a small but peaceful mansion. In this mansion, that Pale Lady...
Violet closed her eyes tightly.
"Wait a minute, prepare your mind."
Violet came here because she felt too guilty to stay still, but when she got there, she didn't know what to do.
Violet accidentally hit her head on a tree.
"I should first introduce myself, right? What should I say?"
The man crumpled the remaining baguette into his mouth and placed his palm between the tree and Violet's head.
Violet's body went limp after hitting her forehead against the man's hand instead of the tree. The man cupped Violet's forehead and supported her. The man whispered.
"I don't understand. You didn't do anything wrong."
"..."
"The Lady just gave me some advice out of concern."
"No, Miss. How could that...."
Violet was clearly in pain. Violet muttered.
"You have to be careful about what you say in front of someone tired."
"Miss. I'm asking you to please calm down."
"I irritated her by picking on her wounds without consideration. I need to apologize because it happened because of me. We have to fix it somehow."
Violet didn't seem to hear the man's voice at all. The man looked down at Violet, who was trembling and biting her fingernails with pitiful eyes.
"I can't do it, Miss. I just went back today and-."
"Beryl, where are you going in such a hurry this morning?"
A man with impressive curly orange hair was leaving the mansion, adjusting his tie. The man, who was clearly dressed like a nobleman, hurriedly dragged Violet and hid behind a tree.
Standing behind the nobleman was a middle-aged woman wearing a black dress.
"If I go out now. I won't be able to hear anything nice. Just stay calm and stay home."
"How are you at home! I'm so frustrated that I'm on the verge of death!"
The man swept up his hair and ran wild.
"Ah-oh! There's really nothing wrong with our pumpkin flowers...!"
"We are a family, so we know Rose well, but not everyone else. Stay home when you have nice words. Or at least train in the forest."
"No, I do not want! I will somehow find at least one person who will be on our side!"
It was clear that Beryl Pale was Rose Pale's only older brother. Then, that person must be Rose Pale's mother, Primrose Pale.
Violet heard that everyone in the Pale family cares deeply about Rose, and the rumor was true.
Violet's body shrank more and more. It was the moment when the man pulled Violet closer to him.
"I really want to line up the people who are spreading unfounded rumors and stab them with arrows with my bare hands...!"
Beryl's words trailed off. Beryl shouted, turning his head towards the tree where the two were hiding.
"Who is this!"
"..."
Anyway, it's a good thing. Violet swallowed dry saliva and tapped the man's arm. Violet escaped from the man and slowly came out in front of the tree.
Primrose's face brightened immediately.
"Oh, do you know each other?"
"That can't be possible, mother."
Beryl said with a truly disgusted face.
"Please don't say things like that. It's rude to that Young Lady."
Violet unconsciously looked at Beryl with longing eyes. Primrose, seeing those earnest eyes, covered her mouth and took a step back.
"Then, young people, talk to each other well."
"No, Mother! We really don't have anything to do with each other! The only women in my life are my mother and Rose... I..."
But Primrose had already moved away. Beryl cried out a few more times from behind Primrose, then sighed as the ground fell.
"Forget about it. I will explain clearly later."
"..."
"But who are you?"
Whenever it was time to apologize, Beryl was on alert. Violet stuttered over his words.
"Well, is that... Lady Pale...."
"Ah, our pumpkin flower... Are you friends with Rose?"
Violet has never met Rose at all. Violet shook her head violently.
"No, it's not like that...."
"Then what is it?"
"Lord Credrian...."
As soon as Edgar was mentioned, Beryl had a straight face.
"What, did you come here after hearing some unfounded rumors?"
Her head didn't work properly. Feeling dizzy, Violet unconsciously nodded her head, and Beryl waved his hand as if chasing a dog.
"Let's go back when I have good words to say."
"..."
"Wow, now someone is coming to the mansion. I need to tell Rose quickly."
Beryl grumbled and turned around.
No, she has to say it quickly.
Violet summoned Beryl with all her might.
"Excuse me...!"
