ICTV - Chapter 105

I change The Villain

I looked a little perplexed.

"But that only lasts for a day or two. If I kept complaining, you would have exploded at some point."

"It could have been so. But at least it wouldn't have been as frustrating as it was then. Don't be afraid of a fight or anything happening. I, the person you liked so much, definitely have my shortcomings."

Violet's voice as she said that was very serious. 

"You're not particularly strange, and I'm not a particularly good kid. Everyone has some part of them that is lacking. Everyone learns little by little by meeting and interacting with each other."

"..."

"If you don't do anything for fear of a bad outcome, nothing will change."

"Okay. I'll definitely tell you next time." 

When I answered, Violet had a straight face.

"Ah, that definitely doesn't mean you should reveal your true feelings to people like your family or even to soft-spoken kids! Don't ever show that you are having a hard time with these kids who, no matter who they see, seem like despicable human beings. It would be a hundred or a thousand times better to reveal it anonymously on the Internet." 

"Don't worry. Come on, I know that much." 

"Okay, then let's just talk about old times."

"Let's summarize what has happened so far."

Violet grinned.

I nodded. I didn't leave a message in writing in case she didn't know about my situation. I and Violet told each other in as much detail as possible what we had talked about with Edgar. 

"Edgar wanted someone like him."

"..."

"You told me the inside story little by little, right? It seems Iike Edgar thinks you are the person he can be with. Edgar, it seems like he's been through a lot of bad things in his family."

I remembered the moment when Edgar said he could never abandon his family.

"And..."

"And?"

"He said serving the god Harmonia was just an old habit."

"What?"

"It didn't seem like he cared for the God Harmonia at all. If other people had made remarks that would have been foaming at the mouth and calling him blasphemy, he just brushed it off. I think I was really shocked at that time.'

"..."

"Didn't Violet say anything like that in the original?" 

"Yes. Violet in the original thought Edgar was a very mature person."

So, when she found out about Edgar's past after falling in love, Violet in the original said this. 'The thorny path back then is what made you who you are now. Rather than turning a crisis into an opportunity. After all, you are a really great person.' 

The reason why Edgar was able to freely use his unstable divine power was because of Violet, who completely believed in him no matter how big the crisis was. Thanks to Violet, who tells him that everything is right, Edgar is confident in himself, but now that he was pointed out that he was wrong, he loses confidence in himself.

After hearing that, Violet raised her hand and slapped her mouth. 

"This damn mouth." 

"If I was someone who could be shaken by a few words, I would have exploded someday anyway, it's okay." 

Violet looked at me.

"How about you? Are you okay?" 

"Of course it's okay." 

I said calmly.

"I was wondering why you liked me, but now that I know, it's okay." 

"Thank God...."

"But it's a little annoying. I know there's a reason, but you're obsessed with me, who has nothing to do with it."

"I don't think I'll just give up on you."

Violet pressed her awkward forehead.

"That guy really tasted it."

"Yes?"

It's really not scary at all. At that time, my eyes caught sight of a window that was slowly setting.

"But is it okay if you don't go home?"

"No. It's not okay."

Violet stood up straight away. 

"How will you explain why you stayed out last night?" 

"My parents will think I'm with Edgar. No worries." 

"They say yiu can stay out all night with Edgar?" 

"Because it's Edgar and no one else." 

I, who was lost in thought for a while, asked Violet a favor. 

"Can you set up a place with Edgar?"

"I can do it, but why?" 

"We will make a deal for sure. Please explain in front of people."

Violet looked blankly at me.

"You really have changed. I think I'll really fall in love with you."

"Yes?"

I grinned.

"I already fell in love with you." 

"Hey, don't flirt with me when you're already engaged!" 

I lightly pressed Violet's head. 

"I'm glad you're still the same as before."

"No, I was really nervous when you weren't around." 

"Really?"

"I heard you reacted very sensitively to something small."

"Clearly, looking at this incident, I didn't do anything wrong, but I came here to apologize. Thanks to you, we were reunited like this."

I rubbed Violet's back. Violet said, taking out her dress that the maids had kept in the closet.

"When I was irritated, the person who understood me the most was Edgar...."

Oops. Violet hit her mouth again with her palm. 

"Really, why am I like this?"

"You can't help but think about this person unconsciously because he is the person who was with you during the most difficult times."

 "I'm sorry. I really did many bad things in front of you." 

Violet clenched her fists.

"This incident is definitely my responsibility."

"I told you not to say things like that."

Violet said with a determined face.

"I will do my best until it is resolved."

"Thank you. It's really reassuring to hear you say that."

We held hands and walked down the stairs side by side. Violet said with a faint smile. 

"Now that I'm with you, I guess I can go back to my old personality, right?"

"It's okay if you don't have to go back. I like how you look now."

"Yeah, really? Actually, I like my current personality because it's more honest and refreshing than my previous personality." 

I stared at Violet, who was scratching her cheek. 

"Don't you want to see your parents?" 

"I miss them. I'm worried."

Violet scratched her cheek. 

"At first, I kept crying. But even though it was unfair, I started to live a busy life, and things got better little by little." 

"Then I'm glad."

"It is true that time is medicine. No matter what happens, it becomes okay as time passes."

"..."

My hands tightened. Violet leaned against my shoulder.

"Don't make that face. First of all, this is a place where people live, and you can overcome your slump by coming here. But your parents."

"I'm sure my parents will be okay."

Violet smiled brightly.

"Because there are still things that are as precious to my parents as me. If parents focus on it too, I'm sure they will be okay someday."

"... It's time to come."

"I know them well because we are family. Because my parents are exactly like me. Oh, by the way, where is your husband-to-be?"

Violet cheerfully changed the subject. 

"Even though I fainted yesterday, I still want to see his face today."

"He's away due to work. I'll formally invite you next time." 

Before we knew it, we had completely come down the stairs.

"Then now I'll try to make a place as quickly as possible."

"Yes, please. But hey, it's time to... Hey."

"If you have any questions, ask anything. Because I'm fine." 

I hesitated and spoke carefully. 

"Do you know what Eun-hwa will do after I die?"

"Eun-hwa? Of course, I know."

Violet nodded.

"She entered the Department of Veterinary Medicine at the top of her class and received a scholarship ever since."

"She's amazing too. Did she come to my funeral too?"

"Of course. We talked for a while. I still vividly remember what she said just now. I didn't forget a single word."

"What did she say?"

Violet said.

"She said she hated the world she already hated, except for the fact that there were animals, and she hated It even more."

"..."

"She says this is a very difficult world for a good person like you to live in. She hopes that next time you will be born in a good world and be happy."

"... That's what she said?"

"I didn't know, but it seemed like she cared about you a lot too. Were you very close?"

A gentle smile appeared on my face.

"Huh. She's as good a friend as you are."

It's worth it that she prayed for me like that. Because I am doing so well in this world.

Violet shouted to Arshan, who was brought in by the maids.

"Arshan! Let's go now."

"Oh, Miss. I guess the conversation ended well. Seeing your expression become so bright."

"So it looks like you had a very happy time too."

"I feel like I've made a friend for life." 

The two left the mansion with bright faces. 

"See you next time then!"

"See you later, buddy!"

I and Beryl stood at the door to see them off.

"I guess the conversation ended well." 

"Yes, it ended well."

"Then now, let's just take a walk until Duke Serenity returns...." 

I blurted out.

"I'll leave right away."

"..."

Beryl crossed his arms and looked down at me in silence. I said.

"My brother stay here." 

"No."

This is the reaction I expected. I spoke again.

"I will take the knights with me, so don't worry about safety. My brother stays here."

"No, I'm going too."

"Brother, if we go out together now, there will definitely be another one..."

"I will stay still by your side no matter what happens. As long as you're not in danger." 

my eyes widened. Beryl nodded. 

"No matter what happens, I will trust you and stay still, so please let me go too." 

I, looking up at Beryl, stretched out my hand.

"Okay, let's go out together."

The brother and sister got on the carriage side by side. In a carriage with the Serenity family emblem clearly emblazoned on it.
