I Became a Villain who Receives Obsession

5 – Three-way face-to-face (1)

―Challang

White legs protruded from the large bathtub.

It was a leg with smooth curves without a single scar.

“Pha!”

Soon, a woman’s head popped out from the other side.

The woman who unleashed her long hair was Raina, the daughter of the promising Duke of Eisten.

She slowly got out of the bathtub and stood in front of the mirror.

A clean naked body with no flab was reflected in the mirror.

A body that is in perfect harmony with elastic skin, outgoing places, and retracted places.

Her statue-like body had a charm that could charm all men in the world.

On top of that, she has her charming light purple hair and her beautiful appearance that supports it.

There was not a single person in the world who could have her heart like this.

Reina, who was examining her body here and there, squinted at a thought that suddenly came to her mind.

“… Lian Altane.”

It was none other than her fiancé who went against her planting.

The two people, who got to know each other early because they had been coming and going between their families since childhood, have maintained a close relationship unlike other nobles.

Even though they were intimate, they only asked each other how they were doing, but in the aristocratic world, it was very uncommon for a man and a woman who had promised each other how they were doing.

It was because most of them were souls made by someone else’s will, not their own will.

Although Reina was reticent, she did not look badly at Altane, who was kind in heart.

In this day and age, good-natured self-control is rare.

Even though people are dumb, I don’t think the smile she shows her from time to time isn’t bad.

No, I quite liked it.

“… .”

One day, the scene of human trafficking was discovered, and the family of Altein suddenly went down the road.

The slave market was implicitly active in the empire, which was formally taking a hard line against human trafficking, but this is a story behind the scenes.

If you had participated in the black market and saved slaves like other nobles, you would not have known, but the Altyn family was caught while raising it to the surface.

As the family head died and most of the vassals left due to distrust of the child of the duke who was left alone, the Altyn family was naturally deprived of the duchy and demoted to the count.

Although they were of the same duchy, the Altyn family was no longer higher in status than hers.

Her father, the Duke of Eisten, urged her to break off her engagement to a family she could not play a role in,

Rayna disagreed.

There was only one reason.

When everyone approaches her with a sly mind,

Because I couldn’t feel those ugly feelings from Rian.

He handed her over when she got lost and threw herself to save her when she was surrounded by bad people.

He was like a knight in a fairy tale to Reina.

“… It’s over now.”

However, the time that seemed like a dream is now over.

Raina, who inherited Iceteen’s blood, had a special ability unlike other family members.

The ability to measure the emotions of none other than the other person.

It was limited, but if you focus an appropriate amount of mana into your eyes, you can see the energy flowing from the opponent.

In general, white indicated the degree of goodness, and the closer to black, the more evil.

From a certain point on, Reina saw a dark aura overflowing from Altane, especially pitch-black.

At first, Rayna denied this.

your eyes are weird He blamed his ability, saying that he was looking at nothing.

That’s because he always had a bright smile.

However, as if to prove this, Altean’s actions afterward were so contradictory that he wondered if he was the same person as before.

On the road he passed, blood was splattered, whether to say it was the blood of the Altane family.

It wasn’t the old Rihanna she admired and liked.

“… .”

Rayna raised her hand and touched her cheek.

When I still think of that day, the pain seems to appear here.

The first and last time she was beaten by Rihanna.

And the day I started calling him Altane, not Lian.

Memories of the day when I cried endlessly came back.

Sever that relationship today.

Raina’s eyes looking at herself in the mirror with a determined expression

The person himself did not realize that there was also hesitation in it.

“Are you ready?”

“Yes, Father.”

Reina’s father, Duke Leonard, was a nobleman with a good reputation in the estate because of his warm personality.

Because of his good personality and good business skills,

He was able to raise the family called Aystin, who had no idea, to the duke’s family.

Because I was well aware of the pain of those days when I was ignored because I was a family on the periphery where I had nothing.

Leonard, in particular, wanted Reina’s opponents to be chosen and chosen strictly.

As the head of the family, he could have been forced to marry another family, but basically Leonard was a so-called daughter fool who was obsessed with his daughter.

As a father, he could find a marriage partner for his daughter, but he intended to leave the choice up to himself.

“It’s hard when your daughter is popular.”

“Did you throw it all away?”

“I burned everything as you said, but is that okay?”

“I do not need it. People who are impatient because they can’t show off.”

“Huh, true.”

After the decision to break off the engagement, courtship letters began to arrive for Reina from all over the empire.

At first it was Leonard who read each and every one of them, but Rayna, on the other hand, looked through them and requested that the entire letter be burned.

Leonard easily accepted Reina’s request because she had a good ‘feel’ since she was young.

Even now, outside the mansion, there were mountains of marriage proposals from the outside, but those too would soon turn to ashes and fly away.

Leonard sighed imperceptibly.

‘I don’t know if I’m living alone like this.’

“By the way, did you really agree to break up the engagement?”

“In my own words… Yo.”

“So that means you might not agree.”

“No, that can’t be.”

“Are you not even sure of yourself?”

“… .”

Who is Lian Altane?

Isn’t he the same as the demon of the aristocratic world who does not choose any means for the sake of his goal?

How could such a person miss his engagement to Reina, a woman who might be proud of it, but inherited a goddess-like appearance that resembled her mother perfectly?

Even the most notorious Alteans will have eyes to see.

The sense of parents who have watched her for 20 years is telling.

Altean will not give up his daughter easily.

Rather, he will make outrageous demands under the pretext of breaking up the engagement.

If it’s a guy with the blood of the Altane family, he’s a guy who can do that.

Reina was there as if nothing had happened, but she was clearly uneasy as well.

“If you are really tired, go up. Let this father speak.”

“I might catch a pod with something like that again. More than anything, I hate myself.”

“… yes i got it But don’t overdo it.”

“Whoops, I know.”

Leonard didn’t miss the slight trembling of Reina’s mouth as she smiled while covering her mouth.

It’s only natural that the other person reacts like that.

As a father of one, Leonard diverted the topic to ease Rayna’s tension.

“Come to think of it, the entrance ceremony is coming soon.”

Reina, who turned 20 this year, was scheduled to enter the academy located in the capital, Frisia.

As the heir of the family, he was scheduled to take business management lessons, but Leonard accepted it at her euphemistic request.

“With this, I am at the same starting point as my mother.”

“The starting point is the same, but the ending point must be different.”

“I think so… . certainly.”

Reina’s mother and his wife, Prina, died of a chronic illness when Reina was young.

As she was a renowned adventurer, Prina’s death brought a great shock to the Adventurers’ Association and those around her.

Among them, Reina was the most affected.

Raina, who was protected by Leonard enough to be called a flower in the greenhouse, changed with Prina’s death as a starting point.

Hoping to go to a simple girls’ school, she hoped to go to the Freesia Academy, where Prina graduated, and was thinking of becoming an adventurer with her after graduation.

Despite Leonard’s dissuade over the years, this has not changed.

“The academy, moreover, belongs to the capital city, so talents from each region will gather. It will be even harder to survive there.”

“If I hadn’t been confident, I would have gone to a girls’ school in the first place. It will be difficult, but I am prepared.”

“yes. She’s Prina’s daughter, so that should be enough.”

“Whoops. Absolutely.”

The father and daughter looked at each other and smiled slightly.

It feels like the tension that was frozen a little has been released.

Just then, the butler came up behind Leonard.

“You are here.”

“… is it.”

After the butler’s words, the atmosphere at the table suddenly changed.

The friendly look from a while ago was nowhere to be found.

Reina’s smiling face also disappeared.

Leonard cleared his throat and spoke to the butler.

“Let them in.”

What should I bring when I go to the house of the opposite sex?

What if that is also the purpose of breaking the engagement?

In the original world, I would have brought a vitamin drink, but there was nothing appropriate here.

“Lord, Master. I can see the mansion.”

Hearing Risha’s words, he looked out of the carriage and saw a white mansion in the distance.

It was really the opposite color of the Altean family.

The closer the mansion got, the faster his heart beat.

I never thought I would be so nervous about going to break up a marriage without marriage.

I accidentally touched Risha next to me.

“Lisha, don’t be nervous. When a servant shows a disheveled appearance, his master gets a curse.”

“I’m sorry.”

Of course I’m nervous.

Unbeknownst to Risha, who lowered her head, I sighed.

Meanwhile, the White Mansion was getting closer.

“Are you Rian Altane of the Altane family?”

“yes.”

When we arrived in front of the mansion, an old man in a butler’s uniform approached the carriage.

He looked at me and Lisa alternately with a puzzled look.

I could understand its meaning.

It must have seemed strange that a person who was not even a baron but at the level of a count came with only a carriage and no escort.

What can I do though?

Most of the servants were sent out yesterday, so it’s going to be like this for a while.

I followed and stopped Risha from getting off the carriage.

“Lishya, don’t open the door to anyone but me.”

“Yes!… Yes?”

“It means to stay here.”

If you take a young maid with you, your image of hell will be further shattered.

I don’t know if Altane’s image will remain in the situation where the engagement is decided, but at least I should let you know that it’s not like that.

“Ha, but… .”

“It’s okay, stay here. I just needed someone to guard the wagon anyway.”

“… All right.”

Risha reluctantly nodded.

Maybe it’s because I’ve been there for a few days.

Risha was less wary of me than at first.

Last night, even when most of the servants left the mansion, Risha chose to stay.

All the maids tried to persuade her and take her away, but Risha was adamant.

I don’t know what I did in this process, I had to be interrogated, not interrogated.

I was curious about that too.

I don’t know if there was a change of heart in her, who was wary of me and avoided me at first, but anyway, now Risha was my only servant and maid.

You can’t take her to a place where you don’t know what danger may be lurking.

Furthermore, the Iceteen family had a bad view of Altane, so there is nothing wrong with being careful.

“Then, I will guide you to the head of the household.”

Leaving behind Risha, who was making a subtle expression, I followed the butler to the mansion.
