I’ll Just Live as a Villain Chapter 10

Chapter 2. Pouring water into the hole. (One)

“ha ha ha!”

Suddenly laughter broke out. Abel looked at him like he was crazy.

“Why are you doing this all of a sudden?”

“No. I just….”

Ah, I can’t do this.

It was so much fun. I had no idea that this sparring that started half-forced would become so much fun.

I wondered how far the master, who frowned disapprovingly in front of me, could go. It was a curiosity that anyone who entered the path of the sword would have.

Liam straightened his posture with a smile on his face.

“I’ll just go.”

Abel looked Liam up and down openly. It was a look in his eyes to see if this guy was okay.

I didn’t know why I kept laughing even though I was receiving such attention.

“Get ready, master.”

Liam grinned.

❖ ❖ ❖

The room was quiet. Standing in the center, I was holding a wooden sword and closing my eyes.

“…….”

Slowly, I draw an afterimage in my memory. Make it a reality and set it in front of your eyes.

‘going!’

A sword strike that blew like a strong wind came to mind. Even though it happened yesterday, it feels so vivid.

side!

I moved my wooden sword and caught Liam’s sword.

So, I competed with Liam in my memories countless times. Don’t rest until your arms become heavy and you can no longer lift the sword, and until your stiff legs can no longer move.

“Huh, huh….”

He paused for a moment, breathing heavily. Holding her sword like a cane, she caught her breath.

‘How did you do it?’

I remembered Liam widening his eyes and giving me a look full of admiration.

‘With the facial expression.’

I frowned and laughed.

He can’t imagine me training like this. Unlike reality, this is the sparring partner from my memories who keeps attacking without getting tired.

This method of training was only possible with Abel’s extraordinary memory ability and sponge-like absorption ability.

That’s why my skills improved every time I met Liam. The Liam in my memories would show more diverse skills, which would serve as a foundation for me.

“Whoa, let’s start again.”

When strength seemed to return to my limbs, I resumed training. The more he moved his body and replayed his memories over and over again, the more Liam’s posture became absorbed into his body.

Naturally, you can think about what your next move will be. You can imagine in advance the various branches extending from one posture.

Drop, drop.

Sweat flowed from my forehead and soaked the floor. Once I trained with concentration, my whole body would be drenched in sweat.

“Whew.”

I lifted my forehead and threw away the wooden sword I was holding. She clenched and unclenched her fists and let out a long breath.

‘I’m dying.’

But little by little each day, the rate of exhaustion was slowing down.

This was thanks to consistent physical training and Liam’s movements becoming familiar to his eyes. At the same time, it became easier to suppress impulses.

Laughter naturally came out.

‘It works.’

As expected, consistency does not betray. The most certain and honest way to grow myself.

My palms became much firmer, and the vitality throughout my body made me feel excited.

‘Let’s just go.’

Now I have time left to handle my work and even finish training. Of course, I had also planned how to use my remaining time.

“Yes, master!”

Just as I was about to go out, Philip came running up in a huff.

“Where are you going?”

When I stared at him instead of answering, he immediately lowered his eyes. It was a welcome change after being scared once.

“I’m sorry, but please wait a moment.”

“why?”

“I saved you.”

While I was wondering what was going on, Philip came closer and whispered.

“Slaves. This time, I chose five very strong ones.”

“…….”

I naturally frowned at the absurdity.

In the original work, Philip personally rescued slaves who were banned within the empire and offered them to him. I decided that this was better than watching the people in the castle die.

Of course, it included his own safety. It was truly a tearful act of loyalty.

‘You’re doing something useless.’

I responded in a pessimistic tone.

“it’s okay.”

And as I was about to leave the mansion, Philip hurriedly followed me with a pale look on his face.

“I’m sorry, Master. You were displeased because there were only five people, right?”

“barely?”

When I asked back in shock, Philip continued to make excuses that were not excuses with a very sorry look on his face.

“But slave traders said they had difficulty supplying slaves recently, so they had no choice.”

I couldn’t see anything and stopped in place.

“The fact that you’re training your body these days means that you can’t be satisfied with being an existing, incompetent slave, right?”

“It was all my fault. I should have realized what the master wanted and moved quickly.”

At this point, I was curious to see how far this guy would go. As for where and what they say… … .

“For now, try to solve the problem with five, even if it is not enough. I will immediately contact another slaver and get more.”

… … I stopped wanting to see it.

That bastard, once you discouraged him, he became loyal in a strange way. If I leave it like this, there will be a greater chance that it will interfere with my work.

“I don’t need it, so just leave it alone.”

“……?”

“Send back all the slaves too.”

“……yes?”

Embarrassment appeared on Philip’s face.

“I would have told you. Just follow what I say.”

“Well, I just….”

“Don’t assume and do something you weren’t asked to do.”

I added, tilting my head crookedly.

“Otherwise, I might change my mind.”

Instead of being a slave, I will torture you.

So that Philip can fully misunderstand.

“……!”

Philip’s face turned pale. He hastily nodded his head.

“Oh, I understand. I will do as you ask right now.”

After he finished speaking, he walked away. He seemed to be going to free the slaves.

“joy.”

I snorted and turned around.

‘I understand why Abel grew up like this.’

Even if you frown just a little, there are only people around you who stick their tongues in your mouth. In a way, it was a natural result, as even his father, who was the only one who could control him, was often absent.

I went out of the castle without taking the carriage. I walked leisurely and headed toward the center of the village.

Magna Morten.

The huge lake there was surrounded by high white walls. The purpose was not to prevent intrusion by others, but to further strengthen the meaning of this place.

A place where the bodies of those who died while protecting Obest Territory are collected and their souls can rest in peace.

Therefore, possession of weapons is not permitted. You can only visit with a pious heart and with the purpose of paying homage to the dead.

“Master Abel.”

Several people standing guard at the gate bowed their heads.

They were the ones who looked after the people who visited this place and managed the surrounding lake and environment. It was made up of retired knights or knights who were injured and could no longer perform active duty.

“…….”

They exchanged awkward glances with each other for a moment. He seemed worried about why this bastard came here and what kind of accident he might cause.

“What are you doing? Not getting out of the way.”

When I spoke with a sour expression on my face, they immediately retreated to the sides.

“Please go in.”

Even the purpose of the visit, which was to ask about courtesy, was omitted.

Being the son of a lord is good in situations like this. In that no one can refuse my visit or express their intention.

‘You’re wielding power because of this taste.’

I grinned and slowly walked towards the huge lake.

I saw a long bridge crossing the lake, and a huge tower rising high behind it.

“Magna Morten.”

My eyes flashed coldly as I scanned the tower.

“This is where the Requiem appears.”

This was the purpose of my visit here today. To prepare for the coming of Requiem, understand the terrain in advance.

I crossed the bridge, carefully scanning my surroundings. I felt every scene flow into my head.

‘The lake is quite large.’

I heard that this lake has existed since the Obest territory was created. It looked shallow on the outside, but the depth of the water was considerable, so it seemed difficult to escape on one’s own if one fell in.

‘Among the tasks the managers do every year is rescuing people from drowning.’

Because the place is the place, there were bereaved families who fell into depression and threw themselves away. However, thanks to the quick rescue by the managers, there was no drowning accident.

‘Conversely, it means that if the person holding the Requiem falls into the water, it may be difficult to escape.’

I kept thinking about different assumptions about when Requiem appeared.

The most ideal situation would be for me to be here at the moment the Requiem appears and be the first to hold it in my hands.

But this was only half a success.

‘We must overcome the whispers of Requiem and dominate completely.’

In preparation for that time, a plan was needed to counter Requiem.

What would happen if the owner fell into the water and feared for his life?

Requiem inevitably attracts humans and uses them as tools. This is because if there is no one to hold it and swing it, it is nothing more than a sword.

‘So, perhaps saving the user’s life is the top priority.’

If so, there may be a gap. If I take advantage of that gap, I might be able to create a situation that is advantageous to me.

‘Driving into the water might be a better solution than you think.’

I lowered my head and walked slowly across the bridge. Then, suddenly, I found my face floating above the water.

‘The more I look at him, the more handsome he becomes.’

Although his eyes were sharp, he had an attractive face with an appropriate combination of clear features and masculinity.

‘Wouldn’t it be possible to make a living off of this face?’

Maybe if you just keep your mouth shut and don’t do anything. Abel had such talent.

‘That’s why there was a lot of talk about how his face was a waste even when he died in the original work.’

There were many readers who squeezed their hearts out after seeing the illustrations that were released later. He said, ‘If you’re going to use this face like this, give it to me!’

However, the bad karma that Abel had accumulated was self-evident, and it was something that could not be resolved without his death.

‘Well, I’m not going to live like that this time. ‘I can’t die because I miss this face.’

I looked at the surface of the water and stroked my cheek. I felt the elasticity and smooth texture at my fingertips.

‘I absolutely protect my face.’

If someone hurt my face, that day would be their memorial day.

“Oppa, look over there.”

“why?”

“I have a handsome older brother.”

Suddenly, I heard children’s conversation in my ears. When she turned her head, she saw a little girl pointing at me.

“Huh? We made eye contact.”

A small figure who looks like he is only seven years old. A bright smile appeared on her pale face.

“Hello, brother-.”

The girl waved her hand at me.

‘cute.’

He smiled and waved his hand.

Never say I’m handsome. I just accepted it because I was a child.

“Ehehe.”

The girl smiled embarrassedly and buried her face in the pants of the boy standing next to her.

“…….”

The boy holding the girl’s hand looked at me. Immediately his face turned white.

“……Master Abel.”
