I Became the Villain's Trainer-Chapter 66

Chapter 66

In front of her was a man chopping a firewood. Despite being told that he was old, he was tall as a beanpole and had a robust appearance. His long hair, tied back, was a bright silver, as pure as Ysildus’. The man’s blue eyes resembled the sapphire hue of Ysildus’. Ysildus grabbed Alexa’s hand.

“Are you scared?”

“Huh?”

Alexa tilted her head. In fact, the wolves already felt the aura the man was emitting. It contained hostility and wariness toward the approaching strangers, and it was so strong that it made Ysildus’ fine hair stand on ends. That man was strong – perhaps as powerful as Carlisle. Ysildus clicked his tongue at his own weakness and faintly smiled. He then whispered to Alexa, pretending to be weak.

“I’m scared.”

“You? Why?”

Alexa naturally couldn’t feel that aura since she’s a human. He wasn’t even that scared, but Ysildus whimpered as he leaned on Alexa’s shoulder. Terrun, trying to rub his forehead on Alexa’s shoulder following Ysildus, was pushed away.

‘This spoiled wolf cub...’

Despite the cramped space, he didn’t like it the moment he sat there. Alexa looked at him with a concerned expression.

“Is it because it has been a while since you’ve been outside? Your first time in this form? Are you alright, Ysildus?”

Alexa asked worriedly and gently patted Ysildus. Taking advantage when Alexa wasn’t looking, Ysildus subtly raised the corners of his lips. He ignored Terrun’s grumbling at his shameless display.

“I don’t know. I’m scared, Alexa. Please hold my hand.”

Alexa smiled at Ysildus’ childlike request and took his hand. Alexa’s soft hand slipped into his. While Ysildus was busy putting on an act, the carriage reached the middle of the mountain. The coachman opened the door.

“We’ve arrived.”

Selina was the first one to get out. Rather than being on edge inside the carriage, she’d rather confront the atmosphere outside...

“Argh!”

Selina recoiled. She had no time to shield herself against the storm-like aura and was directly hit. For a weak wolf like Selina, it was too much to bear.

Then Terrun, Ysildus and Alexa descended in turn. Terrun and Ysildus could endure it, while Alexa seemed unaffected.

As if fleeing, Selina went back to the carriage. Ysildus closed the carriage door himself and looked at Selina with cold eyes, muttering quietly, “A wolf cub with only a tail*, huh? If only you’d always stay like that.”

(T/N: Ysildus is mocking Selina, saying that she only had a tail. He’s suggesting that she’s all show but lacks the strength or courage to do something.)

As Ysildus slammed the door shut, Selina bit her lips in sorrow. She heard Alexa asking what’s wrong from the outside. Ysildus casually replied that his stomach was in pain. Selina heard everything clearly.

Tears welled up in Selina’s eyes from the sorrow, and soon transformed that sorrow into hatred for Alexa.

Terrun and Ysildus were opponents that Selina could never beat. But Alexa is different. I vow to kill that girl and get out of this place.

“Who are you?” The man asked irritably.

That warning should have been enough for you to back off. But the bright-eyed youngsters stared at him with the courage not to be threatened with such threats. The man sighed.

“A direct lineage, I see.”

“Hello, I am Alexa.”

Alexa glanced back and forth between Ysildus and Terrun, but they don’t seem to have the intention to greet politely. In the end, Alexa introduced them herself.

“This is Terrun and Ysildus. We’re from the castle.”

The man put down the axe he was holding. He realized that they wouldn’t go that easily. There were always those who caused him troubles like this.

“What brings you here?”

“Sir Karrolf sent us. He said that we’ll hear more from you.”

“He’s gotten me into some annoying business.”

The man stared at the child in front of him.

“Are you human?”

“Yes? Yes.”

“You must be around ten years old.”

Alexa smiled and shook her head.

“I’m sixteen.”

“… Are the wolves starving you?”

“No, I’m just naturally small.”

Alexa now answered calmly. The man took off his gloves, tossed them next to the axe, and gestured to the three of them.

“Follow me. I think you’ve come for my mother.”

“Your mother?”

The man nodded, “Yes, my mother. Mother should be the one who will tell you something, not me. My name is Tenail. Don’t call me that.”

In other words, he was telling them not to come back. Alexa burst into laughter. Tenail frowned, not understanding what was so funny about what he said, but there was nothing he could do in front of the child’s smiling face. Besides, the two wolves following behind had piercing eyes. Tenail opened the door to the cabin. He raised his voice as he stepped inside.

“Mother! Mother! Where are you?”

“I’m here. It looks like we have a guest, seeing that you’re looking for me.”

A woman poked out her head from the second floor. Alexa only had one thought upon seeing her, ‘She’s not a wolf?’

The woman had long, jet-black and a pair of ordinary brown eyes. Just as expected, Alexa couldn’t recall a character like her in the novel. The woman’s eyes widened when she saw Alexa.

“You... you are a human.”

The woman’s voice echoed in Alexa’s head, [A human from another world.]

Alexa’s eyes widened. The woman was smiling with a calm face, as if it was the most natural thing in the world. For some reason, Alexa felt a strange sense of familiarity with this woman rather than fear of knowing her secret.

“Come down, mother. I’ll prepare the tea.”

“Serve us milk with a lot of honey. It has been a long time since we had young guests.”

“Yes, yes.”

Tenail answered dryly and went to the kitchen. Alexa, Ysildus and Terrun sat on the living room sofa. The woman who had come down from upstairs had invited them to sit.

“My name is Luna. You can just call me Luna.”

“Luna...”

“It means ‘moon’.”

The woman’s eyes turned to Alexa.

“I’m Alexa. This is Ysildus and Terrun. We’re from the castle.”

“I see. I can sense that too. You must be from Thersion’s direct bloodline? You have a lot...”

Alexa nodded. By ‘a lot’ must mean having more abilities. Luna’s brown eyes met Alexa’s blue eyes. Luna smiled brightly.

“So Karrolf sent you here, and said that I had something to tell?”

“Yes, that’s what Teacher told me.”

“Teacher... That child had grown up before I knew it.” Luna smiled gently, “I was born human, but later became a half-wolf. Over the long years, I have seen everything I should and shouldn’t.”

Luna’s lips curved gently, “That’s why I see and hear much more than you do.”

Luna held out to Alexa, “Will you give me your hand?”

Ysildus and Terrun were wary, but Alexa took her hand.

“We’ll need to have to talk longer. You came here knowing a lot too. I am Lunailliah, Dephensores’ wife.”

Alexa’s eyes widened. They were the names she had read in novels and books here – Dephensores and Lunailliah.

It was all thanks to Lunailia that the Dephensores descended to the human world, settled down, and established an empire. Because he held Lunailliah in his heart, the wolf became human and brought light to this world. In a chaotic world where only the bright sun existed and darkness was absent, it was the Dephensores who brought the moon along with the darkness. And always by the wolf’s side was Lunailliah. Both Ysildus and Terrun knew of this legend.

They also looked at Lunailliah.

“We once roamed the world, witnessing and achieving many things. This world is one of the many things Dephensores left for me.”

Lunailliah smiled softly. While listening to the legend, Alexa was curious about something.

“Did Lord Dephensores return to heaven as the legends say? Or....”

“Dephensores will come back. He didn’t go to heaven. If he had, I wouldn’t have remained in this world either.”

Lunailliah’s smile faded.

“I’m waiting for Dephensores. When he returns, I’ll go to heaven with him.”

“What happened to Lord Dephensores?”

“There was a traitor. But today is not the right day to talk about this, Alexa.”

Lunailliah looked at Alexa’s forehead. On her forehead was a wolf’s imprint. She seemed to be unaware of it.
