The Villainess in the Romance Fantasy Is Strange

4. Leah von Eleves (3)

“…… Cain.”

The chief chamberlain, who was as hard as a stone, called me with a rather stiff tone.

“Yes.”

“Perhaps, Lady Lia…. Are you committing rudeness?”

It’s like saying ‘If that’s the case, I’ll play a bell’…. Maybe it’s because of my mood?

I looked at the chamberlain, then at Lia von Eleves.

In the next few years, she will become the most evil woman in the empire, and she looks at me with a very earnest look.

So I thought about it for a while.

“…… No, it’s not like that. Rather, the lady was trying to help me.”

“Help? Lia-sama, Cain-sama?”

The chief chamberlain raised his eyebrows and looked back and forth between Lia von Eleves and me.

He didn’t say much, but it seems like he doesn’t believe it when he looks at us with a curious look. So, I pointed to the homemade sweets on the plate to add credibility to the lie.

“Yes, actually. I ate the cookies the lady gave me and spilled the crumbs. Why did it go into my arms? However, this guy didn’t come out well, so the lady said she would remove the crumbs herself while I was struggling. It was a car that I was going to borrow the lady’s hand despite the rudeness.”

When he decides to pick up a lie and serve him, the scenario pops out without spitting in his mouth.

After hearing my words, the chief chamberlain looked at Lia von Eleves as if asking if that was true. She jumps on the bandwagon of my lies. She shook her head up and down.

“But then, why is there such a loud noise… ?”

“…… Oh, sorry. It folds too. The tender fingers of the young lady tickled her skin, and she cried out loudly.”

“Huh, is that so… ?”

The chief chamberlain blinked his eyes slowly, with a very confused expression.

The way he munches his lips makes it seem like he has a lot to ask. The chief chamberlain didn’t ask any further questions and slowly bowed his head.

“Okay. Sorry for the occasional disturbance. Mr. Lia, Mr. Cain. Then, the two of you, let’s finish talking slowly.”

Leading by the chief chamberlain who finished speaking, the servants moved toward the outside of the drawing room.

-Kiik, thump.

The door to the drawing room was closed. Lia von Eleves, whose expression was obviously tense, let out a sigh of relief.

“Whew, thank you. Knight. Thanks to you, I live.”

“… ….”

To think I’d be thanked by the greatest villainess in the empire for giving a crude excuse.

I was so confused about this situation that I couldn’t say anything. Then he spit on her lips and asked Lia von Eleves.

“That, lady, seems to be afraid of the chief chamberlain… ?”

“Yeah, yes. A little bit, Zeke is usually kind. I get very scared when I do something against etiquette. That’s why I got scolded a lot from a young age.”

“Ah….”

Is it true that even the most evil woman in the empire cannot avoid the fear imprinted in her childhood?

I was thinking about such a stupid idea, and then I realized that something was wrong.

No, wait a minute. Didn’t Lia von Eleves clearly say that she was an immature aristocratic lady who treats the people around her and servants very badly?

According to the description in the original story, even before she became a full-fledged villainess, she did quite a bit of mischief, so it seems that everyone knew her as a famous idiot.

If you look at the way you treat me, or the way you treat the chief chamberlain. Leah von Eleves was not a villain at all.

What should I say? Rather than being a villain, she is kind and innocent. She must be like an ordinary noble lady with a slightly bubbly temperament.

What is this, I don’t know how this came about in English. The Lia von Eleves I saw in the original work and the Lia von Eleves who I actually met and talked to seemed like completely different characters. It was as if she had changed people.

“… ….”

…… I hope, I wish Lia von Eleves in the original story, in fact, wasn’t she a villain from the beginning?

That’s why, it’s like a cliché for setting a male protagonist’s background often used in romance fantasy. What kind of incident did she go through when she was young, and she turned black and became the greatest villain in the empire?

Having reached that point, I naturally raised her head and looked at Lia von Eleves.

“…… Knight?”

She hasn’t lost even her breast meat yet. I hope something terrible happens to her, who looks young. Will she become the greatest villain in the empire?

If only I could know what the event or the trigger that turned Leah von Eleves into a villain. I want to stop it somehow for my comfortable life as an escort knight in the future.

Unfortunately, the novel ‘How to tame the obsessive optical worker’ starring Lia von Eleves. The female and male protagonists are developed in the 3rd person, the narrator.

Because it hardly covers background settings or back stories of other characters except for the main couple. It is said that there is no way for me to know the incident or the trigger….

“Hey, driver!”

“…… Yes?”

At that time, a high-pitched voice broke through my thoughts.

As I looked straight ahead, Lia von Eleves looked at me with a grim face.

“What on earth are you thinking, won’t you answer me when I call you?”

Oh, I thought too many useless thoughts. To be careless with a woman who will become the greatest villain in the empire right in front of you. I bowed her head.

“Sorry. It reminded me of the past for a moment.”

“You don’t have to apologize so much…. What old thoughts?”

“Oh, that’s it.”

If I said, ‘I was thinking about the contents of a novel in which you appear as a villain,’ it was clear that I would be treated like a madman, so I evaded it appropriately based on my childhood experience.

“To be honest, there was someone like the chief chamberlain of the Eleves family in my family. He was in charge of my education, and he was very strict. Even if I made the slightest mistake, I was scolded and beaten.”

“Oh, really? Have you ever been scolded by adults like a driver?”

“Yes, of course.”

As I said before, the Reinhard family’s educational policy is almost child abuse. From the moment a man can walk, he must hold a sword and learn his studies. In the year I turn ten, I have to go out into the world and do my part, just like I do now.

Of course, a 10-year-old is just a kid. But in order for him to do his part outside the world, wouldn’t it be possible with the usual method of education?

I’m not trying to stretch, but I had an incredibly tight upbringing. And in the process, I was scolded and scolded a lot, and I was beaten a lot. Without adding a single exaggeration, he must have been hit ten times a day?

“…… As such, there are too many to count.”

“Uhhh, that’s right. Even such a grown-up knight was scolded a lot… ?”

I’m sure I told you a heartbreaking story, but I don’t know why you’re snorting and liking it.

Could this be because Lia von Eleves is a villainess? Is it because she has a sadistic tendency to get pleasure from hurting others?

I stare at her to try to figure out her intentions. Chuck, Leah von Eleves reached out to her.

This time, unlike before, there was nothing in the palm of my hand.

“So, are we comrades?”

“Comrade… ?”

“Yes, comrade. Comrades who have scary chamberlains for each other.”

“… ….”

I thought that there are all comrades like that, but. I didn’t get it out of my mouth.

Instead, I held Lia von Eleves’ hand gently.

“Mr. Let’s get along well, comrades.”

“Yes, I understand. As the lady’s escort knight, I will do my best.”

“My lady, please call me ‘Lea’ instead. I will also call the knight Cain.”

“Yes. Lia……. Sir.”

“Ugh, Cain. Not Lia-sama, Lia!”

Leah von Eleves, who will become the greatest villain in the empire in 10 years, she stops me with a stern expression and forces me to call her ‘Lea’.

I can’t believe that fact again, and I don’t have a sense of reality. I laughed bloodily.

…… Yes, what This is how it happened.

Leah von Eleves. No, how is ‘Lia’? I don’t know why she grew up to be the most evil woman in the empire.

If possible, let’s stop Lia from becoming a villain.

Riaga could become the most beautiful woman in the empire, surpassing the original heroine. Because of some kind of unfortunate incident, she turns into a villain who disappears with the dew of her brother…. It’s a little, no, it’s a lot of waste.

And, like this, for at least a few years, I’ll have to stick by Lia’s side and carry out my duties as an escort knight. Wouldn’t it be much better for the lady I serve to be a tomboy who is kind to everyone than to be a villainess?

Mmm, that’s right. When you think about it in many ways, it is more beneficial for her not to become a villainess than for Lia to become a villainess.

That was the moment I thought so.

“Oh, yes. Cain. I forgot and didn’t ask.”

“Yes, what is it?”

“About that red potion, are you going to give it to me? Huh?”

“… ….”

…… If possible, let’s reduce greed a little.

Night.

After dinner, I came to my room in one corner of the mansion, guided by the servant.

It’s smaller than my room in the Reinhardt family, but it has everything you need. If you ever need something extra, just tell the attendant and he’ll prepare it for you. It’s not particularly uncomfortable or uncomfortable.

I unwrapped the scabbard sheathed around my waist and leaned it against the wall, then sat down in front of the desk. Then, he took out a notebook from the bookshelf and opened it.

“…… I need to tidy up.”

People’s memories are highly volatile. So, I don’t know right now, but after a year, two years, or more. I may forget some of the things I remember and never recall them again.

Since such a disaster should not happen, I first organized the flow of the original work I know in order in a notebook.

The amount is so huge, I think it took about twenty minutes. Fortunately, there were no missing gaps.

“This is done….”

Then, let’s summarize the ‘changed information’ from the original work.

First of all, the biggest thing is Lia’s personality. Lia von Eleves, the so-called damned noblewoman, for some reason, unlike her original work, her personality has become very toxic.

I don’t know the cause. But, in my opinion, it was probably Lia’s original personality, so limited. She wonders if her personality changes because of some event or opportunity that happens later and she becomes a villain.

Of course, it’s not certain, but it’s highly likely that it is now. There’s nothing wrong with being careful as long as you don’t know the exact reason.

So from now on, thoroughly monitor all people who approach Lia, and if you feel suspicious, let’s exclude them.

Finally, my role is Lia’s escort knight. So, nothing is impossible if she uses the safety of the lady she serves as an excuse.

“…… Okay.”

After highlighting the part ‘excluded for safety reasons’, circled it several times, and moved on to the next page of the notebook.

Now that I have decided on my future plans, I plan to briefly write down in my notebook what will happen from today. The reason is simple.

It is to review the information you know while looking through your notebook, and to compare new information with existing information.

I’m going to repeat what I said, but isn’t it originally said that it’s ubiquitous? If you prepare in advance, there is no need to worry.

So I can’t be recognized by anyone other than a person who lived in the 21st century Korea. I wrote the headline using Hangeul.

And in the bottom line, I put her honest feelings that I felt while facing Lia. I wrote the contents of my diary.
