The Villain Is A Perfect Fit For The Role-Chapter 71
71.
‘That’s why I don’t understand anymore.’
What benefit did they have for carrying out the attack? Even when I turn my head, nothing comes to mind. The story had already gone wrong, so I had to think and decide for myself afterwards.
Richt sighed as he tried to think of someone who could be like this. He wanted to sigh openly, but Ferdi was on the other side. He should not have done anything that would have been suspicious of him.
‘No, haven’t you already done that to your heart’s content?’
Richt is not a great person who would stay in the countryside and open a bakery. Still, Ferdi didn’t say a word about it. What are you thinking? He looked at him, but his expression was unreadable.
After reporting a few more things, Ferdi got off the carriage. Only then did I feel like I could breathe a little.
The unexplained attack, which seemed likely to continue, stopped at some point. The carriage rolled along smoothly, and it wasn’t long before we crossed the border. After entering the empire, travel became smoother. This was because there was no one who did not know the pattern engraved on the carriage. How long did it run like that? Finally, Richt entered the capital.
When I returned to the mansion after a long time, it was the same as before. This was because Ain did not neglect management even while Richt was away.
As soon as I stepped through the open door, the maids and servants standing in a row bowed their heads silently. There were so many people that I wondered if there were that many people working there. When I looked at it all together, it was truly spectacular.
It looks like it would have been burdensome in the past, but strangely, my heart doesn’t race. Have you already gotten used to this body? Richt calmly passed by and headed to his room. He was tired from the long journey and was going to take a rest. As I was taking steps like that, I heard Abel’s voice from behind.
“Why am I blocked?”
“You are not an officially invited guest.”
So you can’t take it. Ain blocked Abel’s path with a smiling face. Leaving him like that, Van and Ferdi calmly entered the mansion.
“Are they going in?”
“You two are Devine’s vassals. “The situation is different from that of His Majesty the Archduke.”
“Oh, the situation is different?”
“yes.”
Although Ain has also learned swordsmanship, he is ridiculously weak compared to Abel. Yet he did not back down at all.
“If I make a formal request, will they let me in?”
“That is for the head of the family to decide.”
Abel’s expression distorted. Richt watched their scuffle for a moment and then took a step back.
“Licht!”
I completely ignored Abel’s call. She retaliated, but felt it wasn’t enough. He can suffer a little more.
Theodore walked up and down the room and sat down at the desk. He looked at the papers, but he wasn’t in sight. He glanced out the window and saw that it was still bright. Time passes excruciatingly slow. The day was long.
I tapped the desk with my fingers and messed up my hair. Richt said he would arrive in the capital by today, but why hasn’t he come? He even sent someone just in case, but there was no news.
“His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.”
Just before Theodore went crazy with anxiety, an aide came in.
“Altain!”
Altain flinched as if he was surprised when he jumped up from his desk and greeted him.
“So, any news from Licht?”
Altain made an embarrassed expression as he saw Theodore looking at him with sparkling eyes. After fiddling with his fingers several times, he opened his mouth with difficulty.
“They say you are currently in the mansion.”
“To the mansion? why? “Who did I send you to?”
“They say they didn’t meet each other because they came in from different directions.”
“Didn’t you come through the south gate?”
The South Gate is the largest of the gates entering the capital, and nobles usually used it.
“Yes, you used the north gate.”
“Yeah, that could be true. “Then let’s send someone to the mansion.”
I was disappointed that I didn’t come to the imperial palace right away, but that could have been the case. Because Richt was weak. He probably wanted to get some rest. So, we should hold on for today and make an appointment to meet tomorrow.
Theodore was excited and sent Altain to Devine’s mansion. It was because he wanted to express that his feelings were sincere.
Altain let out an exclamation in front of Devine’s mansion. The mansion was not just big. Even though it was decorated extravagantly, it kept the lines and left some space, leaving an impression in many ways. I felt like I could tell Devine’s power just by looking at the mansion.
‘I don’t like being extravagant.’
I liked the way the mansion was decorated. Altane approached the mansion, gently pressing his pounding heart with his hand. As I passed through the huge door and entered, a middle-aged man came out to greet me in front of the mansion.
‘The author is Ain.’
Devine’s loyal dog. Ain used to be called that behind his back.
“welcome.”
Ain smiled and welcomed Altain. Judging by her calmness, she seemed to have known in advance about Al Tain’s unannounced visit. Al Thane smiled bitterly and spoke his words.
“His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has sent an invitation.”
It took a lot of time to even write one invitation. Edit, edit, edit again. He was a prince who had never been very active other than swordsmanship.
‘What do you like about Lord Devine?’
None of the rumors going around are good. Just looking at his butler, Ain, makes a bad first impression. The crown prince had sent an invitation, but his neck was stiff. He definitely knew. He may be rude, but he knows he can’t do anything about me now.
“I will tell you.”
Altane gently dodged Ain’s outstretched hand.
“I want to tell you this directly.”
I wanted to meet Richt in person. Is he really as ruthless as rumored, or is he a kind person like Theodore said? I felt like I could tell when I saw it in person.
“Hmm.”
Ain looked at Altain with a strange gaze. Then she nodded.
“You’re having tea in the garden right now. “I will guide you.”
As I walked along the well-manicured garden path, there was a small clearing at the end. A large parasol was erected in the center, and a man was sitting on a chair beneath it. He was a man with long black hair and eerily white skin. Although I said this to an adult man, it also reminded me of a well-made porcelain doll.

He slowly lifted his eyelids, revealing green eyes. The eyes somehow reminded me of a cat.
“Who is it?”
When asked in a drowsy voice, Ain answered.
“I am a guest from the imperial palace.”
Only then did Altain come to his senses and say hello.
“This is Altain, His Highness the Crown Prince’s aide.”
“nice to see you.”
The man, Richt, slowly stood up from the chair. Then my vision widened and something else came into view. The tea cup on the table, the colorful tea food next to it, and even the tall man kneeling next to the chair.
Altain couldn’t believe his eyes for a moment.
‘Why are you kneeling over there?’
Are you a slave? But it’s too sturdy and neat for that. As if he had noticed Al Thane’s gaze, the tall man opened his mouth.
“This is Ban, leader of the Leviathan Knights.”
Only then did I realize his identity. After completing his self-introduction, Van naturally stepped forward and accepted the invitation in Al Thane’s hand. Then he looked at Richt.
Richt nodded slightly, and Ban opened the invitation himself. This was also rude. But Altain couldn’t say anything this time either.
“He asks you to come to the imperial palace.”
“when?”
“It’s noon tomorrow.”
“The reason is?”
Ban hesitated for a moment. Richt waited for him without urging him.
“… “He said he wanted to see it.”
Richt slowly rubbed his chin with his fingers. It was a worried face.
“I’m embarrassed to tell you, but since your health hasn’t recovered yet, I think you can rest more.”
Ain intervened.
“you’re right. “You need to rest more.”
Ban also agreed. Richt looked embarrassed, but it only lasted for a moment.
“Did you hear?”
“yes yes!”
“For that reason, I think it will be difficult to go out for a while. While I was traveling, I ran into some trouble. “After that, I lost my health.”
Cold sweat broke out on Altain’s back. I felt like I knew what Richt was talking about. It’s about how Theodore and Archduke Graham joined hands and arrested him as a traitor.
“I think His Highness the Crown Prince will understand.”
Richt sent Altain away with a smiling face. When she came to her senses, she found that she had already been pushed out the door of Devine Mansion.
“uh?”
I also met other familiar faces there.
“What are you doing here?”
It was Archduke Graham and Abel.
“What is the Grand Duke doing?”
“It’s me, whatever.”
Abel scratched his forehead and glanced at the Devine Mansion.
‘no way.’
It was the moment when speculation turned into certainty. Like Theodore, he also had a crush on Lord Devine. Altane’s expression darkened without his knowledge. What on earth happened in between? He couldn’t even guess.
“So why did you come here?”
Without even telling me. However, the power they had was too different to keep their mouths shut.
“I stopped by to deliver an invitation from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.”
“Did you get it?”
“You had to get it.”
“Are you going to the imperial palace?”
“no. “He says his health is not good and he needs to rest more.”
“Where does it hurt?”
“I don’t know.”
Archduke Graham tried to grab Altain, but he withdrew.
“His Majesty the Crown Prince is waiting for us, so we have to go back.”
So, please find out for yourself what you are curious about. Altain quickly got on the carriage.
