21 – The Villainess is Evil
After beating me, Shael’s mood was at its peak.
In a way, it was natural. She was the one who did her finger exercises, even warming up, in order to hit the beetle properly.
There was very little time left before the Banquet at the Magic Tower began.
Even if the banquet at the Magic Tower started late, it was because the wicked woman slept more than this.
So, Shael was touring the inside of the mage tower as he wanted.
Shael handed me a doll. So was her burden.
“What is it?”
“Listen.”
⋯Shael was ordering me.
“Do you have no feet?”
“⋯.”
It shouldn’t have been such a surprise, but Shael was taken aback.
It’s not a request, isn’t it natural for me to say such a thing in response to such a rude order?
Shael walked without speaking. She was thinking deeply about something.
Shael opened her mouth again.
“Bring me some water.”
As expected this time, it wasn’t a request. She was giving me orders.
No matter how much I need to accommodate her mood today, I can’t even accept a request like that.
Because Shael’s already bad personality could get even worse. She may develop bad habits.
But I did as she said and brought water. Of course, it wasn’t plain water.
Sael took the water while smiling and making a strange expression.
“Puheuk!”
It was the sound of the water she was drinking. Actually, it wasn’t ordinary water.
“It’s dirty.”
Shael glared at me.
“I added lemon juice because you didn’t seem to have any strength. How is it?”
“⋯.”
She didn’t answer me. It wasn’t because he was glaring at me like he usually was.
Shael made a moaning sound.
⋯ The villain was weak in her god.
“Be prepared.”
She was gritting her teeth as if she had vowed to avenge her. Another attack was made on her.
“Actually, I also put saliva in it. Did you like it?”
“⋯What?”
Shael answered my question with a half question.
“⋯What nonsense…”
“We’re fiancees, how are you?”
“⋯ Ha.”
However, Shael did not give up. She was trying not to lose to me until the end.
“So, did you take my acupuncture too?”
That was a really disgusting remark.
Shael, who was disgusted by my words, counterattacked. She was confident of her victory. Of course, that wasn’t the answer.
“Okay, good. Would you like to kiss me?”
“What?, What?”
She said before she looked at me with disgust.
“Just kidding. Could you have spit?”
Sael still couldn’t get rid of his doubts despite my words.
“So, you should have asked for it, not an order.”
Shael narrowed her eyes and looked at me. But she never said anything more about her.
Because I heard someone passing by.
ㅡThe Lord of the Magic Tower, you say that your personality has really improved?
—-That’s right.
I was the Mage Tower owner who quarreled with Sael and me for no reason. That his personality has improved?
Then the reason was obvious. It was a pill of lies that Sael gave to the Master of the Magic Tower.
“⋯Is it still not working?”
“If the time of medicine is not over, then it will be. The Tower Master cannot use detoxification magic… And people who can get close to the Tower Master will not be able to use it either.”
That’s right, the only person who can approach the owner of the mage tower is the female protagonist, Clie. The owner of the Mage Tower also had a bad relationship with the other wizards in the Mage Tower.
Apart from his magic skills, it was because of his dirty personality.
The mage lord who took the pill of lies could approach them… But the probability that the wizards would release it was small.
Only skillful wizards can recognize the effects of medicine taken by others, and most of them will also hate the Mage Tower Master.
So even if he recognized the medicine, there was no way he would help the owner of the mage tower.
No, the drugged mage master probably wanted to get close to the wizards in the first place.
So, the magic tower owner, who only lies because of the medicine, will rather distance himself from the magicians.
But the effect of medicine is not permanent. Someday it will be solved
“What if the Magic Tower Master finds out that you drugged him?”
“It’s okay.”
It seemed that Sael already had an idea.
“I bribed a maid without her family. She sent me on a long journey.”
She was a good judge in her own way for a woman who had forgotten how many blows she had to hit. Did she have a surprising idea of being a villain?
“What if I get caught? If it were the owner of the Magic Tower, he would attack you with suspicion as evidence.”
“⋯Then you have to stop it.”
⋯ Apparently, she had no idea of being a villainess.
*
It was the beginning of the second day of the banquet.
It was also a time when the role of Azbel’s family, Shael, became very large.
The shape of the Banquet Hall in the Magic Tower has changed from yesterday.
The Banquet Hall, the heart of the Magic Tower. And in the center of the banquet hall, an unpleasant black pillar rose.
It was a pillar that absorbed the curse of the Mage Tower.
The purpose of the banquet was to purify it with Sael’s magic and to circulate even a little bit of good energy in the Mage Tower.
I looked around.
It was to see the location of the crown prince. A person standing alone in a banquet hall with all kinds of distinguished guests.
It was the crown prince, Jerroch Edgars.
I could recognize him at a glance, even though he had arrived with his disguise magic on.
It was because he was staring intently at Clie, the main character with the Magic Tower Master.
In the original work, the crown prince suffers a devastating attack at night. The curse of the magic tower was the reason. The master of the magic tower notices the disguised prince and deliberately refuses to give him the lodging.
However, he is now unharmed. If so, what is the reason?
⋯It was the medicine that the wicked woman gave to the owner of the mage tower. The mage tower owner, who did not want to give the room to the crown prince, would have willingly given it to him.
Thanks to this, it feels like the novel and its development will change drastically. I just hoped that somehow I could get over the situation for the better.
That’s how the ceremony began.
Shael, who is infused with the Azbel family’s magic, stepped forward. Shael had her hand on the central pillar of the banquet hall.
Shael frowned. In a way, he was doing something good for the owner of the Mage Tower, so he deserved it.
The greedy villainess had already set out to receive more money from her pocket money.
As Shael sent magic power to her pillar, the dark pillar of the Mage Tower gradually lost its ominous energy.
The owner of the mage tower also went to the pillar for the ceremony.
It was then that someone told me. It was a very urgent word.
“Can you ⋯help me?”
The heroine was Clie. Clie was trembling in her fear and calling for my help.
“What are you doing?”
“The Mage Tower Lord has become strange! Suddenly, one morning, her personality changed.”
Clié rolled up her clothes. There were scars on her forearms.
It was a wound caused by magic.
There’s no way the magic tower lord was like this.
Aren, the mage tower owner with a dirty personality. However, he discards that dirty personality only when it comes to female leads.
Being very nice to Clie.
And now, the Magic Tower Master can only lie because of the pills Shael gave him.
⋯ Ah.
There was no time to say anything. This time, it was because even the crown prince, Zerok, had approached.
“⋯⋯ What is that wound?”
Zerok took off his disguise and wore a cloak to hide his face.
“Wow, crown prince?!”
“Shh. Quiet.”
As expected, the acting is excellent. Clie must have already known about the crown prince.
In her first encounter with the Magic Tower Lord yesterday, she even took the Wizard Tower to get attention from her crown prince.
Such Zerock was a gentle prince. However, he has an extremely strong obsession with Clie, the female lead.
As an example, the prince has been staring at the female lead since yesterday.
“That is the work of the owner of the Mage Tower.”
“⋯.”
Cli was speechless. The prince’s anger was reaching its peak. I couldn’t say anything.
Let’s recap. Prince, Zerok. He is extremely obsessed with the female lead. I can’t see the female lead getting hurt with both eyes open.
In a romance fantasy novel, if the male protagonists started liking the female protagonist from the beginning, the novel would end very quickly.
However, the reason this novel was able to go on for a long time was because the main characters had very different personalities.
That’s why the two of them fight over trivial things from the beginning. But this time, the mage master hurt Clie.
In other words, it’s ruined.

Shael has completed his role. The dark aura had disappeared from her pillar before she knew it. The owner of the magic tower was still checking her pillar.
“⋯Shael. Do you remember how long the pill of lies lasted?”
“Yes, maybe six hours.”
Then I have a question. Why the hell is the magic tower master still being affected by the medicine?
“Then why is the mage master still doing that?”
At my words, Sael smiled proudly. Then she stretched out both of her hands. She then folded and unfolded again.
“What do you mean?”
“Twenty eggs.”
Twenty eggs? For a moment I couldn’t understand what she was saying.
“Twenty dogs were fed.”
Ah.
The Villain was evil.
