My Beautiful Disciples, I'm really not the Main Character!-Chapter 603: True Villain
603 Chapter 603: True Villain
"How do you know that she did it?" Estelia asked Eren after the manager left the room.
She didn't question the authenticity of his words as the manager also didn't seem surprised, as if he had already noticed the servant's absence. His reaction convinced her of Eren's words.
"I should be the one asking you. How did you not know?" Eren countered. He didn't plan to miss any opportunity, especially with Jenia absent.
Estelia fell silent. She was truly distracted and hadn't noticed that someone had been killed so close to her. Or perhaps she simply didn't care?
"For you people, the lives of those weaker than you are like the lives of insects. If I weren't a guest of the First Primordial, even I would have been killed, and you wouldn't have even flinched," he said, and Estelia couldn't deny his words.
She knew it was true. His life held no value in her eyes, and she wouldn't have cared if he were dead, had he not represented her father as a guest in their house.
"I guess I should be content with the fact that I've managed to live so long in a world filled with such cruel people," Eren added, lazily shifting his attention back to the stage.
Even though there were bad people on Earth who could kill others for revenge, power, or influence, it was inherently different. The current state of this world was closer to a medieval one than anything else.
"Is it wrong?" Estelia asked Eren, recovering her composure. She picked up the updated list of items set for auction. "As you said, some people are inherently more important."
"You lived because you represent my father. What about me, then? I'm his daughter. If I allowed other people to be disrespectful to me, wouldn't I be creating problems for myself? Isn't the best way to ensure no one annoys you to instill fear in their hearts?"
She knew she didn't care much about the lives of those beneath her, but she believed she had a good reason.
"The best way to remove future troubles is by eradicating them in the present?" she asked Eren. "You won't understand, since you were born in a more peaceful world."
She had heard stories about Earth from her father. At times, she even felt jealous as the world sounded so peaceful and entertaining.
Her father didn't tell her that earth was far from as peaceful as he made it out to be. For Estelia, earth sounded more like the utopia for humans, a world where everyone was equal and didn't have any special abilities or bloodlines that helped them be better than others.
Even if she had more influence and strength here, she wanted to visit earth to see what that land of peace actually felt like.
"Sometimes it's best to eradicate future troubles in the present," Eren repeated Estelia's words, finding them to be comparable to his own philosophy.
This was exactly his thought process as he eradicated the Main Characters. It was to ensure that he could survive, without worrying about the main characters chasing after him with a sword in their hands in future.
Normally, he also agreed with Estelia, as he did the same thing. The only difference was that he did it to save his life, not to remove potential annoyances or to remove some kind of embarrassment.
He knew that he couldn't change her mind if he told her about the number of people whose blood had stained his hand. However, he didn't need to tell her the truth. He wasn't actually trying to change her for the better. He only wanted her to see that Jenia was a bad person.
"Do you think you are a good person?" he asked Estelia, who frowned in response.
"What kind of absurd question is that?" Estelia answered without much care. In her eyes, she wasn't a bad person. If she was, she would've killed Eren when he tried to flirt with her. Didn't she only hurt him a little? He was still alive.
Even if she killed people, it was only when they deserved it. She didn't go around finding and killing them for no reason.
"Answer me. Do you believe that you are a good person?" Eren asked again.
"That is right. I think that I am a good person." Estelia answered.
"Then do you think Jenia is also a good person?" Eren changed his question.
"She..." Estelia frowned. Normally, she would've said yes, but if she had killed a servant outside just recently, then could she still say the same thing?
"You said it's right to kill someone to remove future trouble. Do you think that's what she did? Did you really believe that the servant was courageous enough to go around spreading some secret that could easily lead her to him?"
"We both know that the secret was forever going to be buried deep in his heart. Killing him didn't remove any future trouble. And if she really wanted to bury some embarrassing secret forever, then why didn't she kill that Manager who was also there when it happened?"
Eren kept explaining, trying to make Jenia come out as a villain in the eyes of the person that considered her friend. He even felt like some serial vamp when doing something like this, but it wasn't as if he was wrong.
"What she did wasn't removing any future trouble. What she did was to let out her anger that she couldn't do on me. She killed him, for one reason alone. It was because she could. Do you think I am wrong?"
Estelia didn't answer him, pretending as if she didn't hear him. But each of his words were creating waves in her heart. Even though she already knew the answer, she couldn't utter it.
"I will ask you the same question again. Is Jenia a good person?" He asked, hitting a final nail in the coffin.
Estelia opened her lips, but before she could answer, the door opened.
"Sorry, I took longer than I expected." Jenia entered the room.
