It Is Fate To Be Loved by the Villains chapter 226

226. Harvest Festival (2)

●

The terrace located on the second floor of the banquet hall seems less crowded than expected.

It’s a different atmosphere from the crowd of people on the first floor introducing themselves and doing what they’re doing.

That means you can clearly see what’s going on below.

“…Whoa.”

Watching the emperor enter the banquet hall, such exclamations flowed naturally.

That person is really coming.

I know that the Tristan duke’s prestige is high, but it’s another matter for the ruler of the empire to appear.

The emperor cares for the duke just as much. Our relationship is as strong as this. So, the Presbyterians and Chancellor Sullivan, who are at odds with us, please be tight.

That’s probably what it meant.

“…”

In other words.

The situation inside the empire is tense enough to show a provocative appearance like this.

It’s like Mutually Assured Destruction. We have a power as strong as this, so don’t quarrel.

‘…Even though it might explode.’

From noble mtl dot com

Chapter 5, The Empire Crisis.

It is a national civil war in which the Council of Elders, the Chancellor faction, and the Imperial faction are intertwined and the three are intertwined at once.

This is where the story begins to get serious.

Because this is the chapter where Elnor begins to awaken as the ‘final boss’.

His personality is eaten by the gray demon and he loses his humanity, his father Gideon dies, and Sullivan dies as well.

The emperor…

‘Did life or death depend on the player’s choice?’

But it’s the same for those who don’t look good anyway.

I should try my best not to see you like that.

[By the way, I wanted to ask you before.]

‘Yes?’

[That demon, isn’t it a worse feeling than you thought?]

Suddenly, such a question came from within Soul Linker.

[Most of them are obsessed with you and cause trouble to those around you. Didn’t they feel like they were openly doing something evil?]

‘…Ah, that’s it.’

It should be able to look like that.

However, I can explain that clearly.

‘Did you see me a while ago, Caliban?’

Me, right before Elnor hit me in the head and brought me to my senses.

[Hmm?]

‘Except for the people I think I value, I treat them almost like bugs.’

To treat people only as a “Means” To achieve a goal.

A typical example is Tatiana who enchanted a lion breastplate.

“…”

I think I did something sorry.

It’s still in the breastplate, so I’ll have to look at it sometime soon and put it back to normal.

Thinking that way, I continue talking.

‘Devils are just like that.’

[What?]

‘All humans, except for me, the object of my obsession, and the vessel they nest in, are nothing but bugs from their point of view.’

[…]

It’s not that you hate humans.

They’re just indifferent to it because they think it’s something like a bug that’s not even worth dealing with.

Continued to talk to Caliban, who kept his mouth shut in bewilderment.

‘Right now, they’re trapped inside the bowl, so they won’t be able to exert their influence in earnest… But it’s obvious what will happen if they come out.’

I’ve told you.

A devil is not a devil for nothing.

As soon as I changed my race to the seal of Fallen and briefly resembled their ‘way of thinking’ for a while, it was clear what I was doing.

It’s easier to understand if you remember what the red devil was trying to do by causing the night avalanche.

For the sake of one faynol, didn’t you try to burn the whole world and recreate it at will?

To demons, this world itself is said to be like a toy that can be modified to suit their own tastes except for their own interests.

‘So, the devil can’t be set free. Until we have the proper means.’

Hearing my words, Caliban was silent for a long time before bringing out a sentence like a groan.

[…They say they are the strongest in all dimensions. You have to have some means to be safe even if you come out.]

Well, the representative example is Elijah, who is holding the holy sword right now.

Since it was just equipped, he wouldn’t be able to fight a life-and-death battle with the main body of the demon, but he is probably the only means of suppressing the demon along with the ‘dragon’ in the material world.

And other things.

“…”

Looking down at my chest, I smile. It is a place where there is a seal.

If it’s a means to control that side according to my ‘taste’, then this is the best.

‘There is such a thing. It’s incomplete because I haven’t collected them all yet.’

[…What are you talking about?]

We are having such a conversation.

Suddenly, I heard a familiar voice next to me.

“Dowd Campbell!”

My face muscles twitch.

It was familiar, but it was never a pleasant voice.

“…The Marquis.”

With a sigh, he takes out such a greeting to the other person.

Marquis Bogut. Lion heart.

The head of the Council of Elders.

At the point when this human was in the same position as the emperor, the peaceful atmosphere had already passed.

In a situation where we were immediately warned by a system message that something was going to happen today, it’s likely this guy is the biggest culprit.

“Nice to meet you! You are here too!”

“…”

The guy stares at the outstretched hand, then bows quietly.

It is an expression of intention that you do not want to obediently respond to this person’s greeting. It doesn’t mean I don’t intend to be friendly.

Even though he’s not a human who doesn’t know that, he just smiles and puts his hand away.

“Am I alone without Princess Tristan!”

As if, of course, I was certain that Elnor would be with me.

“…Yes, what.”

“Looks like you’re planning something special? Between the two of you, there must be no reason to come to a place like this!”

“…”

Frown your face and stare at the other person.

I always think about it.

When she faces this guy, there are many times when she feels almost as much displeasure as when she is standing face to face with a sage.

It’s probably because of the attitude of knowing everything, whether it’s about me or ‘other things’ that I don’t know.

Obviously.

If you look at the words that follow, you will see that.

“Then you must move quickly.”

“…Yes?”

“You can’t ruin the event that the princess has been working hard on because of uninvited guests!”

At the same time as this guy said that.

Suddenly, a window appeared in front of her eyes.

＜ System Message ＞

[ I can feel the presence of the ‘White Devil’! ]

[ ‘Seal of Fallen’ reacts! ]

My eyes wide open.

A white demon suddenly rises up around you.

I remember seeing it once before.

I’ve used it once, so I’m sure I remember it.

The power of the white devil is ‘temptation’. The ability to place all nearby sentients under its control.

Everyone’s gazes within the sphere of influence of the demonic energy suddenly went blank.

Everyone stops moving for an instant. Everyone stopped talking along with the orchestra that was playing, and a creepy silence descended into the noisy banquet hall just before.

“…!”

I hurriedly stretched out over the railing to check, and I saw Yuria, the source of this white magical power.

Sitting at the table, she was glaring at the emperor with her eyes raised.

Those eyes are fixed on the emperor, who looks around in bewilderment, wondering what the hell is going on.

And that hand.

It was right on top of the hilt of the severer’s sword.

‘That guy…!’

What are you doing now?

I knew Yuria was here, but she didn’t expect that she would cause an accident like this!

“Probably reacting to something on the inside.”

As I was quickly examining the situation, Marquis Bogut’s voice flew in.

“What now…!”

“You know what lies inside His Majesty, don’t you?”

A voice that escaped the usual playfulness fell on me.

The expression with a smile as usual is still the same, but since he always smiles round and round, his expression, which almost looks like a narrowed eye, has an extremely serious expression.

“That’s why, unlike the others, you’re not affected by demons. Aren’t you the only one who’s fine while everyone else is distracted?”

“…”

I silently glared at the Marquis Bogart.

“I’m telling you this because you might misunderstand, but I didn’t make it up.”

Then, those words fell in my direction.

“If demons run into each other, it would happen naturally at least once. Especially if the one in His Majesty is a ‘brown’ who is particularly hostile to you.”

“…What are you talking about-“

“I’d like to explain, but would you mind if I bother with that right now?”

The Marquis Bogart grinned and pointed his finger down the terrace.

“If you leave it as it is, will it really crash?”

On that side.

With his whole body wrapped in a white demon, he put his hand on the hilt of his sword.

There was Yuria who got up from her seat.

“…”

I gritted my teeth and looked at the Marquis Bogut.

“…The Marquis.”

“Yes?”

“We will need to have a serious conversation later.”

“…”

Marquis Bogart smiled and nodded his head broadly.

“I’ll be waiting for you.”

I stare at that hateful face for a moment, then let out a sigh filled with annoyance.

He’s like my dog who follows incidents and accidents everywhere.

“…Life.”

With those words, I immediately jumped down the terrace.

●

Jumping down the terrace and making plans.

[How are you going to do it?]

‘…Do what I have to do.’

[What?]

‘I told you before. The devil has the right means.’

As I said that, I looked at the seal on my chest.

To be honest, I don’t really want to do it.

I think it will work in theory, but I’ve never really tried it so I’m not sure.

Above all.

“…”

He sighed and looked at the emperor, who was still bewildered.

In a situation where there is an “Audience” Like that, it’s something I absolutely don’t want to do.

But.

‘… Take care of the aftermath.’

I’m sorry, but there’s a high probability that I’ll have to pass it on to the person I called through my father.

＜ Skill Info ＞

[ Seal of Fallen – Gae Kai ]

[ Over a period of time, direct ‘contact’ with demons becomes possible! ]

This is what I’m going to use.

I was beaten to death by the gray devil for this, but I should be thankful that I have a way to use it even in this situation.

Being able to ‘touch’ the devil directly will be a requirement to exert more powerful control than I thought.

“…”

Take a deep breath and put your hand into your chest. It will be the most important key item to control this guy.

I prepared it in advance from the time I obtained the information that this guy was a ‘person of interest’ from the system window before.

“…Suck-“

As soon as I came down the terrace and landed, the white demonic air nearby shuddered. For a moment, as if the mind is fogged up, a violent ‘wave’ covers the consciousness.

[ Activate ‘Skill: King of Pandemonium’! ]

From noble mtl dot com

[ Resist the ‘White Magi’! ]

For me, I have the means to resist this for a while.

The demons in the immediate vicinity rushed forward, splitting into two sides as if opening a path in front of me. In the meantime, I quickly approach Yuria.

Are you wearing a star iron circlet? Thank god.

Even if it gets within three steps, it won’t split in half.

“…”

And, as soon as you get close.

I see.

The white demon standing on Yuria’s shoulder.

This guy who is suppressing his consciousness and moving Yuria’s body on his own. With blazing eyes, she was glaring ferociously at the emperor.

“…”

Yes.

I expected it, but this guy is really serious.

The one who doesn’t care about the bowl’s ‘autonomy’ is the purple devil, but honestly, it’s this guy who explodes the loudest whenever there is a number.

Thanks to that, YuRia, who gets caught up in such a situation every time, is getting more and more depressed because of her guilt.

Even after the Red Night Incident, I tried to meet and talk several times, but each time, I don’t know how many times Lucien told me that he couldn’t even see my face because he was sorry.

By the way.

You made a child like that.

Now you’re trying to commit a massive accident to stab the emperor.

“…”

As an honest impression.

‘…I’m pissed off.’

Not that it isn’t.

I get really pissed off.

How much trouble do you have to cause a child to unleash his aptitude?

With that thought in mind, he trudged over to Yuria and placed her hand on her shoulder.

“Hayangah.”

[…!]

The white devil opened his eyes wide and immediately tried to pull the severer out of the scabbard, but before that, I grabbed his wrist and put the scabbard back into the sword.

At the same time.

He takes out the things he had prepared in his bosom like lightning.

“If you keep buying and running around-“

I’m used to it because I’ve used it a few times. Immediately ‘put’ it on the white devil.

It wasn’t too difficult since I was somewhat used to being squeezed by a gray demon and being in contact with a demon.

“-I have no choice but to punish you.”

For now, I am saying this while laughing.

Probably, I don’t know, but right now I have a lot of veins on my face.

That’s how pissed off you are, and it means that the ‘guilty’ for what you’ve done to this guy is very light.

[…]

The white devil looks blankly at me and the object I just ‘put’ on him.

He doesn’t seem to understand what he just did.

It’s the same even if you just listen to the voice that comes out in a stupid voice.

[…Huh?]

A white devil wearing a dog collar around his neck.

Looked at me with blank eyes.
