The Villain in the Side Story Wants to Live

Chapter 13

To be forgiven by his enemy (feat – Serena)

“I told you.”

It was a time when my eyes were far away.

The skin on her shoulder shared warmth, and her warm hand gently stroked my hair to comfort me.

“I don’t want to let you die.”

The soft and cozy scent of musk that emanated from him, which naturally made me feel better, cleared my dizzy mind.

‘Forgive me…’ I got it.’

I acted more selfishly than a villain with my own justice.

Oran embraced him warmly and forgave him.

I didn’t want to show my weakness, so I tried to hold it in, but I couldn’t stop my eyes from getting wet.

Little water droplets running down the cheeks like that.

The number gradually increased as the warmth passed on.

…… I wanted to stay like this forever.

But I couldn’t forgive myself.

As the sleep poisoned needle was inserted into Oran’s neck, he fell asleep. It probably won’t happen for a while.

‘Let’s release it in this gap.’

A promise I made to Oran someday.

It was time for him to keep the promise he believed would never come.

‘…… He said he faced Evil.’

But the hero’s presence bothered me.

Even if he persuaded Evil on the basis of Oran’s harmlessness that he had seen so far, it was clear that he would try to kill Oran.

I may have been lucky enough to come back alive this time because I had the Demon King’s Stone, but if I get caught next time, I’m sure I’ll die.

‘That’s not okay.’

Death could not compensate for the bullying.

Since I’ve been swayed by the demon king all my life, I wanted to let him lead a normal life now.

‘Until I visit a kingdom far away, I have no choice but to stay here.’

As of now, that seemed the only way.

‘…… So, how many more days can I see you?’

I managed to hold back the smile that was about to be drawn on my lips.

It’s just that I can see you for a few more days, but you’re trying to be happy.

…… The shock was so great that he must have lost his mind.

I’m out of my mind. It’s not an act of my will. It’s something I can’t help either.

“It might be your last chance…”

I hugged the sleeping Oran tightly with countless excuses floating in my head.

Sweet musk scent, so fragrant that you want to keep smelling it.

It was clear that she had lost her mind in that she had been poking her head in his arms for over ten minutes.

So wouldn’t it be okay to smell his scent a little longer?

…… It seems that the real mind has become.

I raised my head and caught his face in my eyes for the last time.

It was said that I could meet him often while bringing him meals, but I didn’t want to face him again because it would make me regret it.

Even if Oran forgave me, I was determined to let him go.

I couldn’t help it.

As soon as I came out of the Demon King’s Stone, I realized that the place I was standing in was not my office.

The coordinates of the Devil’s Stone are stored at the time of entry. So, the fact that the place where he came out was different was clear evidence that Oran was out.

“Hello, Serena. Long time no see.”

And since this is Evil’s office, it must be true that I met him face-to-face.

…… Wait, Evil’s office?

Didn’t Oran meet Evil by chance?

Calm down, just check slowly.

“I have something to tell you. I hope you will listen.”

Before that, there was something I had to tell Evil.

“I’m sorry I didn’t tell you that I met Oran first.”

“No, you’ve been busy preparing for the festival or the wedding.”

Ewill responds with a smile.

I couldn’t read his intentions from his smirking expression.

“Oran… I am torturing him to find out the information. I even found out where the Demon King’s treasure is.”

“Really? Great?”

Evil raised the corners of her mouth, showing a nuance of her welcome, but in reality she didn’t look happy at all.

“Not only that, but as part of the torture… I’m also making them work.”

“Nice, did you handle it right?”

Evil encouraged her by patting her on the shoulder, but in reality, she had no emotion and only moved her hands up and down numbly.

“And the Oran you met yesterday… I sent you out on an errand. Never, never, I didn’t come out alone with malice.”

A silence of about three seconds.

“Is that so?”

The lame answer that followed.

Ewill already knew that everything I said was a lie.

“……Don’t you believe it?”

“No, I trust Serena.”

Ewill smiled brightly and looked like he had a plan.

She doesn’t doubt his goodness, but a light so pure can always distort the world.

I was so anxious.

“Do you have anything else to say?”

I have nothing to add about Oran.

Instead, she had something to ask.

“Can I ask you something?”

“Anything.”

If I knew the truth, I might not have the confidence to face Oran again, but I had to dig out the truth.

That’s just an act of rolling your eyes.

“Oran… Why did you come here? Did you bring me here?”

Evil avoids my gaze and rolls her eyes, eventually closing them.

“No, I came here on my own.”

“Why…”

Before long, Evil spits out with her low sigh.

“I’ll tell you since Mr. Oran seems to have been caught stupidly. He came to hand over the Demon King’s Stone to me.”

“Handing over…?”

“I guess he was worried about what would happen if no one else found him.”

Oran was not caught by Evil while running away.

While I could easily throw myself away and run away, I tried to help the wicked woman who had harassed me, but she failed to escape and almost died.

Really stupid. To the point where I don’t know who the bad guy is.

…… Also, I think I asked something.

“Don’t worry. I won’t get into your business.”

While she couldn’t get out of her sense of shame, Evil said calmly to her.

After all, Evil knew what had happened.

Maybe that’s why she tried to stay silent then.

“Instead, you know?”

“……I will make sure that something like today will never happen again.”

It’s my fault, so I’ll take care of it myself.

It went well.

Because I don’t have the confidence to face him with confidence anymore anyway.

I could swear that this would never happen again.

“By the way, Serena, did you catch your guard?”

She was about to move her steps outside when Evil asked in a low voice.

“Carelessness, what do you mean?”

“There’s no way you’ll fall for a low-level trick that loses your temper when you’re drunk.”

He was right.

She felt implicitly that even if it was a low alcohol wine, she would get drunk if she drank it.

But maybe that’s why she accepted his offer after all.

…… Didn’t it mean that he subconsciously believed in Oran?

I’ve been harassing you all this time, and you’re hoping for some kind of favor.

I’m really selfish.

Except for feeding him while he was asleep, he never entered the Demon King’s Stone.

I thought a lot about whether or not to look at his face for a moment in the name of checking his condition, but he kept his promise to me thoroughly to the extent that he barely endured it.

‘I’m tired.’

At first, I felt that life not being able to see Oran was a bit boring, but that kind of leisure quickly disappeared due to the rush of events.

“Serena, you have too much work.”

“I know.”

I took care of my work day by day listening to the complaints of an aide I couldn’t even remember the name of.

Yes, this was my life.

In a way, life itself without him was natural.

“Is that Serena?”

“……Why?”

I’m busy, but that ignorant aide didn’t do his job properly and behaved wildly.

“In the past, he took care of even my share of work, but if you’re not busy…”

“Shut up.”
