I’ll Just Live as a Villain Chapter 175

Chapter 24. I give you snowflakes that bloom coldly. (5)

‘I want to stick together once.’

A strong desire to win captured Leah.

The reason she took the lead during Mikel’s absence was not just because she was Mikel’s daughter.

‘… … I lost.’

The knights sincerely surrendered after being defeated by her,

‘miss! My lord may break my legs!’

Vice-captain Hansen cried and clung to her leg.

‘Then, instead of one leg, I’ll reduce it to one eye.’

So Leah responded by leaving a black bruise around his eye.

‘I wanted to compete with you earlier.’

Just as I was about to say those words to Abel, I had to turn around because the maid came looking for me.

But I couldn’t bring it up now.

“Hehe, even during the subjugation war, Prince Abel’s performance was amazing.”

“That is an overstatement.”

“Please know that I wanted to praise you more, but I restrained myself because I have eyes to see.”

This is because Mikel was talking to Abel with a smile on his face.

“There may be controversy over the fairness of the rankings. Wasn’t there already someone who felt unfair?”

“Is there any possibility that there will be controversy? There is clear physical evidence.”

As a result, I naturally heard stories about the subjugation war.

In fact, Leah was a little dissatisfied with Mikel’s attitude from earlier.

‘Why are you so generous?’

I felt aggrieved that the person who had always been strict with me was being so kind to another family member.

‘He’s the son of Diego Kindreal, who I always thought of as my rival.’

So I couldn’t understand that attitude even more. But after listening to the two people’s story, I was able to understand.

Why is Mikel so satisfied with Abel?

‘This is ridiculous.’

Abel’s appearance in the story of the two men was ever-changing.

Sometimes he was a cocky young man, sometimes he was a ruthless commander, and sometimes he was a brilliant knight.

It was different from the way he had shown me, so it was very unfamiliar.

‘Why are there all these guys?’

Interest and curiosity amplified. About the human being called Abel.

To that extent, Abel was a being who completely destroyed Leah’s concept of peers.

In fact, there were not many peers in the node territory that Leah could interact with. Since Mikel was a precious child from his childhood, he was raised with great care.

“I will leave for a moment.”

Abel apologized and left the restaurant.

“Which side is the bathroom?”

“I will guide you.”

The sound of him and his attendant conversing became increasingly distant.

“It’s Leah.”

When Abel completely disappeared from the restaurant, Mikel finally turned to look at Leah.

“What did you do in front of these precious guests?”

“What am I?”

Leah played it off and gestured toward the back. A servant who was waiting holding a bottle of whiskey approached.

“Give me a drink too.”

The servant looked at Mikel for a moment, then when he nodded slightly, he filled Leah’s glass with whiskey as well.

“hmm.”

Leah took a sip of whiskey and frowned.

‘what is this. ‘Is it poison?’

She also enjoyed drinking quite a bit, but it wasn’t just the Vestique whiskey that Mikel and Abel were drinking.

There was a rumor that he was poisonous.

As soon as I put it down my throat, I felt like I was burning up.

“Is this what you came here for?”

Mikel gave a stinging blow to Leah.

“Then did I have to hide my true nature, pretend to be a young lady, and become a flower that smiles and stays in place? Would you have been satisfied then?”

“I didn’t mean to go to that extent. You should have at least been polite.”

Mikel swallowed his whiskey as if his throat was burning.

“What did the guests there think of you?”

“Well, I guess they thought I was a girl who couldn’t get enough.”

Leah answered without blinking.

“And even if that were the case, it has nothing to do with me.”

“…….”

“I told you before, I will not marry a man weaker than me.”

My decision back then was firm, and it remains the same now.

“If you want to marry me, you have to be good enough to compete with me and win. So what should I do? The only person who has beaten me so far is my father.”

Leah thought Mikel would click his tongue in pity, or sigh and cup his forehead.

“Hehehe.”

But Mikel just let out a soft laugh.

“…Why are you smiling?”

“No, well. Hmm. I think your thoughts are still clear.”

Mikel’s muttering expression didn’t look that bad. No, rather, it seemed like he had been waiting for Leah to say those words.

“???”

Leah became very confused. I even thought that his father was already drunk.

“This is really troublesome. It’s troublesome.”

It was a tone that did not sound difficult at all.

‘what?’

Leah had no choice but to fall into a deeper abyss of doubt.

“Excuse me.”

Meanwhile, Abel returned to the restaurant.

“I won’t look after you today.”

“You didn’t really look at me last time either.”

The two resumed their drinking competition as if they had been waiting for it.

‘Ugh, that’s gross.’

Leah couldn’t stand the two men’s drinking party and left the place.

It was beneficial to do a little more sword training during that time.

❖ ❖ ❖

Hung! Huh!

The sound of a sword cutting through the air cuts through the dawn air,

“under!”

With a powerful burst of energy, a cloud of vapor comes out from the lips.

Green onions!

The small body breaks through the snow and swims freely. Eyes resembling the sea shimmered as they captured the sky.

‘I thought it would be there when I came here, but of course.’

I found Leah early in the morning, wearing different clothes from last night.

Pants and tops that are comfortable to move around in. As expected, her body was closer to that of a swordsman than that of a young lady.

“Whoa….”

Leah is not something in front of her. He was fighting something in his memory. She had a general idea of ​​what she was fighting.

‘Is this the monster I fought yesterday?’

I was amazed to see that there was someone else training in a similar way to me.

And I also learned how fighting an imaginary monster looks like.

‘… … That’s what it looks like.’

At first glance, he looked like a crazy person fighting a ghost. If it weren’t for Leah’s serious face, he would have looked exactly like that.

I thought it was really good to train alone in my room.

If Philip had seen me, he would have said, ‘You’re possessed by the devil!’ He would have been shouting this over and over again.

Without making a sound, I slowly approached Leah’s back.

Hung!

Leia was using a sword with her left arm. Perhaps it was because of an injury to his right arm, or because he was not used to it, but his posture kept showing signs of weakness.

The moment I approached Leah’s back,

Tuk.

“It’s empty here.”

He tapped his shoulder and whispered.

Shoo!

The sword stretched out like a beam of light and grazed the side of my cheek.

“Whoa, whoo.”

I made eye contact with Leah, who was breathing heavily.

“Why, secretly?”

Leah took a short breath and let it out.

“Come closer. Like a stray cat.”

Then he mutters softly.

“No, it was a fox.”

Leave unintelligible words alone.

“You knew I was coming.”

I approached it by partially revealing my presence.

Nevertheless, it was Leah who pretended not to know and trained, but aimed her sword at me the moment I got close.

“Just be thankful that nothing is broken.”

Leah said in an arrogant voice.

“If you quietly approach me from behind, doesn’t that mean you want me cut?”

His face looked like he had no intention of putting the sword away.

‘See this guy?’

I laughed to myself and took a step back from Leah. For a moment, Leah’s eyes sparkled.

“Where!”

Leah reacted immediately and chased after me. The tip of the sword was aimed at my neck without any space.

A constant chase of running and chasing took place between the two. It looked like an intense fight or a dance in harmony.

widely!

My hand grabbed Leah’s wrist. I tried to put his body on the floor, but I heard “Hmph!”

Leah flexibly turned over and climbed over my back.

Crack!

The two bodies moved away at the same time.

“……Whew.”

Leah blew through her nose and brushed a few strands of hair from her forehead.

“Hmm.”

I also brushed away my disheveled hair. And then they stared at each other in silence.

The standoff that lasted for a while,

“ha ha ha!”

It was broken by Leah’s boisterous laughter.

Leah opened her mouth and smiled brightly. If the stubborn Mikel had seen her, she would have definitely said something.

However, it was nice to see a cool smile that showed off neat teeth.

“Why are you laughing?”

“Because it’s fun.”

Leah answered and her eyes sparkled.

“I’ve never seen anyone avoid my attacks for this long.”

And he took a step closer to me.

“Are you really strong?”

Leah looked at my body carefully and tilted her head.

“But you don’t have a hangover? You’re fine.”

“As you can see.”

Leah looked at my complexion for a moment and then said,

Hung!

I threw my fist out without saying a word.

‘What the hell.’

Just turn your head and avoid it,

“Hoo.”

Leah let out a low exclamation and retrieved her fist.

“I’m not really drunk.”

“Do you really have to check it like that?”

In this respect, she was very consistent.

Fists and actions come before words.

“Abel.”

Leah’s eyes sparkled.

“Let’s stick together properly. With a real sword.”

“no.”

“why?”

Leah raised an eyebrow.

“Is it because you think you’ll lose to me?”

“…….”

This is what it felt like.

I felt like I could understand the feelings of the people who had snorted and fallen for my provocation.

But Leah’s provocation was cuter than mine.

“Tell me. Are you afraid to fight me?”

A sharp voice comes out with a slightly frowned forehead.

It contained a complaint that he was not trying to make me feel uncomfortable, but was genuinely curious about my thoughts.

Yes, Leah was this kind of character.

Do not hide your true feelings and reveal yourself honestly. Clear, unadorned light radiates from transparent emerald eyes.

“Do you think I’ll lose to you?”

When I smiled back, Leah slightly lifted her chin.

“You have to try it to find out. If not, then what is the reason?”

I lazily put my arms behind my head.

“It’s definitely not for the reason you just said.”

“Then why? Do you think it’s funny because I’m a girl?”

Leia’s voice became noticeably sharper.

“Are you embarrassed to dare fight with a woman?”

No, why are you going there again?

I debated for a moment whether to punch her on the bridge of the nose or not.

“…….”

Then, when I saw Leah’s sparkling eyes, I quit. It was obvious she had heard what Mikel had said.

“If I win, I have to marry you.”

“…….”

Leah’s mouth opened wide. Her shoulders, which were holding her sword, slumped down.

“…Did you hear that?”

“Your voice must be so loud.”

“No, by the way. Why are you so sure that you will win?”

Leah thought about it again and raised her voice as if she was annoyed.

“There’s no need to look for a reason. It’s the same way water flows from top to bottom.”

I responded in an indifferent tone as if I was making a judgment.

“I win.”

“……under!”

Leah snorted as if it was ridiculous. She burned to the point where her blue eyes looked red for a moment.

“If you look at me like that, your pride will be hurt. Isn’t that right?”

He looked at Leah indifferently and added.

“So let’s put the fight aside.”

“…….”

Leah twitched her lips and was lost in thought. She had so much to say that she had to sort it out in her head.

‘I won’t compete, but I will teach you.’

But if you say that, fire will come out of your mouth and say, ‘What are you, teaching me?!’

So I just stared at Leah, who was thinking deeply.

It was then.

“Everyone on the subjugation team, please gather in the central hall!”

I could hear the servants shouting loudly.

“What’s going on?”

Leah raised her head and looked at him. I also looked at that and thought.

‘It’s coming.’

The messenger who had gone on a scouting trip to the northern mountains must have returned.
