I'll Make It a Bad Ending Like a Villain

A dry wind was blowing. A feeling of silence flowing with the cold air.

Henry, who had a short glance at the sharp blade aimed at him, raised his gaze to look at Philina, who stood in front of him.

“Now…, what are you doing? Sir Debussy.”

At the sound of his cold voice, Filina murmured.

“I’ll be blunt.”

Henry narrowed his brow. Philina, who had been looking at him quietly, continued.

“I want you to let Sir Leon go.”

Henry wasn’t the only one surprised by her words. Leone, who was standing behind Philina, was also staring at her with slightly widened eyes.

Henry opened his mouth, his expression hardening.

“That’s what you mean.”

She said in a solid voice.

“Literally. I want you to let Lord Leon go quietly. It’s just…, run away like this.”

The reason for the conclusion was simple.

He doesn’t want Leone, who is right behind him, to make a premature judgment.

I can stand by his side and help him.

He wanted to let him know that he wasn’t the one to guard against.

Henry looked at the blade at my throat with cold eyes, then raised his gaze again.

“No way…, I don’t think you’re on the same side.”

His bloody voice echoed through the silent walls.

Apparently, when Philina tried to wrap her arms around Leone, she seemed to think that she might be one of the same guild members as him.

It was a plausible suspicion on Henry’s part.

In the first place, Filina didn’t announce that she had been admitted fraudulently with her own mouth.

Of course, it was an overly frank statement for suspicious guys.

It’s not that I don’t know that the reason for making that honest statement was to discredit me, but…

As if she had grasped his inner thoughts, Filina let out a noble smile.

“I’m sorry I didn’t live up to your expectations, but unfortunately I’m not on the same side as Sir Leone.”

Henry asked, frowning at her words.

“Then why do you want to let Lord Leon go?”

“Because I know Sir Leon is not a bad person. I think there was a good reason for attacking Deputy Carmen.”

Philina replied in a clear voice, and his eyes sank dryly.

“But…, don’t you think it’s a little reckless not to obey the imperial orders for that reason, Lord Debussy?”

Henry’s reaction was understandable.

The man who stood at the center of Leone’s attempt was Ian Alvar.

It would have been foolish for the imperial family to react emotionally to an incident involving them.

If this became known, he might be taken to the imperial court and brought to court.

As Henry suspected, she might be associated with Leone’s guild.

But that had nothing to do with it.

Now her nerves were only in the confrontation between Henry and Leone.

The terrible guilt she had felt in her past life ate away at her day by day.

The resentment against himself for being stupid and the contempt for the world that had attracted Leone had always been in his heart.

How dare she turn away from Leone?

Absolutely impossible.

Especially if his opponent is Henry Argeni.

Philina said to Henry, holding her sword up.

“If you’re going to take Lord Leone, you’ll have to fight with me first, Lord Argeni.”

Henry’s expression contorted at her words.

“…… Are you sincere?”

Philina replied, the corners of her mouth curling up.

“Absolutely.”

At the same time as her answer, a sharp blade attacked Henry. He quickly drew his sword from his waist and easily blocked Philina’s blade.

Two sharp-edged swords clashed fiercely in the air.

Filina gritted her teeth. Her hands were trembling slightly, overwhelmed by the immense force.

On the other hand, Henry’s face facing Philina was calm. No, it was a look that was out of place for calm, but it wasn’t the emotion that emanated from this fight right now.

Philina glanced back. While she was dealing with Henry, she hoped that Leone would run away quickly.

But Leone stood motionless in place, staring at Philina and Henry.

“Where are you looking, Lord Debussy?”

Then Henry shouted in a low voice, tightening his grip on the sword in contact. Filina’s feet were pushed back.

She glared at Henry with fierce eyes.

His purple iris was staring at Philina indifferently.

Henry only defended her attack, but did not exert any particular force. But if Philina’s nerves were elsewhere, she would bring her gaze back to her, weighing her sword tightly.

Nonetheless, Philina’s mind was all for Leone.

If I didn’t run right away, I didn’t know if Carmen would show up. He will never let Leone go.

Philina shouted at Leone.

“I’m just staring at you stupidly!”

Henry’s eyes, which were aiming his sword at her, were coldly contorted.

Filina opened her eyes and faced Henry head-on, and let out another loud voice.

“Run away quickly! Leone!”

It was only then that I saw Leone, who had belatedly come to his senses, move his body.

However, Henry slammed down Philina’s sword hard and quickly rushed towards Leone.

Chang—

His sword rolled across the floor in vain.

Philina stared at the sword that had fallen to the ground with a blank face. Then he turned his head to find Leone.

What she saw right in front of her made her heart sink.

Henry stood close behind Leone, pointing a huge blade at his throat.

Leone hadn’t even pulled out his sword, so he grabbed the handle of the longsword from his waist.

It all happened in an instant.

Henry’s soothing voice drifted through the quiet air.

“…… His Excellency the Crown Prince has said that he permits Lord Leone to be executed.”

His exclusive face shone darkly.

“Well, then, what should I do now?”

Henry smiled with a relaxed expression.

Leone, who had entrusted his life to him for a moment, stiffened his face and clenched his fists.

As she stared blankly at the figure, Filina felt her breath suffocate.

My heart was pounding like crazy.

The image of the past death kept popping into my mind.

I felt like I was going to vomit at any moment.

She shook her head, taking a step closer to where Henry stood.

“…… Henry.”

At the sound of Philina’s small voice, Henry’s eyes slowly rose upwards as he looked down at Leone.

She whispered in a trembling voice.

“Please, please. Don’t kill Leone with your own hands again.”

Filina groaned in a chilly voice as she moved closer to him.

“If you kill Leone this time, I won’t let you go no matter what.”

Her voice was full of life.

Henry, who had been looking at Philina, lowered his gaze. He could see him quietly brushing his blade at the base of Leone’s neck.

A quiet silence passed.

“…… If.”

Henry’s quiet voice echoed through the cold air.

“If I let go of Lord Leone.”

His purple eyes slowly rose upwards.

“What will Lord Debussy do for me?”

Philina’s hand on the sword twitched violently. She glared at Henry with a bloody face.

I wanted to run and kill him right away.

But my body didn’t move as easily as my mind.

This was because he had already sword-to-sword with Henry, and he had felt the difference in strength acutely.

Now, no matter how hard she tries to get out, she can’t beat him.

The only thing I can count on is the divine power, but in the end, my choice could have endangered Leone.

Filina swallowed the profanity in her mouth.

“Whatever……”

She shouted loudly, glaring at Henry with her piercing eyes.

“I’ll do whatever you want. Please, let Leone go.”

At Philina’s words, Henry furrowed his eyebrows, as if he didn’t like something.

However, the huge blade that was aimed at Leone was removed.

“Okay.”

Henry took a step back, releasing Leone once and for all.

Then Filina quickly ran to Leone’s side and handed him a bottle of potion from her waist.

“I don’t know if it’s going to suit Lord Leon because it’s made for me, but I’ll take it.”

She added to Leone, who was staring at the vial in her hand.

“It’s a potion. The effect is quite good, but the after-effects are severe. So I only drink it when I really need to.”

Filina said, pushing Leone’s back forcibly.

“Let’s run away quickly. Deputy General Manager Carmen will be here soon.”

At the same time as she spoke, there was a faint sound of footsteps in the distance.

Carmen’s movements were evident.

Leon also hurriedly turned around to see if he had noticed it. Then he turned around for a moment and looked at Philina and sneered.

“Thank you, Lord Debussy.”

With that, he quickly ran through the grass.

Filina quickly turned her head to the other side to watch Carmen approach. Then I felt Henry’s eyes staring at me from the side, and I wrinkled the back of my nose.

“The deputy general manager is coming. Stop staring.”

At the same time as her voice, Carmen approached, looked around, and opened her mouth.

“Wasn’t Lord Leon even here?”

Philina nodded and replied nonchalantly.

“Yes, no matter how much I search, I don’t see a single ant. Wasn’t Lord Leon in the direction you went?”

“There wasn’t. I searched through it all, but it didn’t come out. Where the hell did he go hiding…”

He slammed the blade he held in his hand down and uttered a low profanity.

Filina stared at it in silence and then turned her head back.

Through the darkness of the grass, there was not the slightest trace of Leone.

“I must go outside and report to the Imperial Knights. I don’t know if it’s a little brighter around, but it’s dark everywhere and it’s hard to find a single person with three people.”

Carmen turned and went back the way she had come. Filina hurried after him.

Henry, who was staring at her intently, was also taking a step away with a slow movement.

Then Carmen stood still.

Philina, who had been walking with him, stopped abruptly, and before she knew it, she held her breath.

…… No way, did you notice that Leone was here?

As she gulped and stared at Carmen, he turned his head lazily.
