I Was Reincarnated as a Villainous Noble But I’ll Be Executed as a Traitor if I Do Good Deeds Chapter 19



19 The False Princess’s Tears

To avoid the future where the princess sisters, Mea and Reina, kill each other, I’ve decided to meet with Reina first. There are various challenges ahead, but I’ll take them on one by one.

“Now that I’ve decided, let’s get started. First, I’ll ask Felicia for her cooperation.”

I have a plan in mind, and I think Felicia would be the best person to help me. I don’t know anyone else who can help, either.

I asked someone, and they quickly guided me to Felicia. It was easy to meet with her.

“Felicia, I need your help with something. I want to give Reina confidence.”

“Are you asking me to help you woo another woman? Ha ha, just kidding. It’s probably just unnecessary meddling.”

It’s annoying that she thinks I’m meddling, but what’s the trigger? I don’t have any particular grudge against her.

“Well, I can’t deny it. If the princesses don’t get along, it’ll be troublesome for us too.”

“You’re not being honest. But I don’t dislike it.”

I feel bad that I’m seen as dishonest. But denying it would be the same as admitting it. It’s like I’m being told I’m being obvious. In that case, it’s better not to say anything.

“By the way, do you think I can meet with Reina?”

Please let me know if you need any further assistance!

“It’s simple, isn’t it? If it were Princess Mina, it would be difficult.”

It seems that Leena is being underestimated. Even from her current lines, it’s painful. I also feel like she’s overemphasizing her emotions to others. Perhaps it’s because I know her past from “Destiny Blood.” It’s a problem if I speak too much about others, so I need to be cautious.

“Then, let’s get started.”

“Yes, I’ll accompany you.”

She agrees without hesitation. Leena is indeed a kind person. It’s just that her environment has warped her. In reality, she was originally a one-attribute user and was looked down upon. Thinking about that, I want to make use of Felicia’s power. Now that we’ve met, I don’t want to turn a blind eye.

“By the way, can I ask Felicia to use her magic?”

“That’s… haha, using my power to break through multiple attributes is quite enjoyable.”

She understands without explanation. It’s both comforting and terrifying. If Felicia were to become an enemy, she’d be a formidable opponent. But for now, my goal is to build a good relationship with her, not to prepare for when she becomes an enemy.

I take Felicia with me to meet Leena. As expected, it’s easy to meet her, and the security is lax. That’s probably why the assassination attempt in the original story was successful.

“Princess Leena, can I talk to you?”

“What is it? I’m busy. If it’s something boring, please talk to someone else.”

She completely ignores me. If that’s the case, I’d rather she showed some hostility towards me. At least that would be better than being completely disregarded. However, I need to choose my words carefully. I don’t want to hurt her feelings.

“Your talent is real, so I think it would be beneficial to make you an ally.”

“I don’t care about your flattery. I won’t listen to the words of someone with dark attributes.”

Still, her eyebrows twitch slightly. She’s not completely indifferent. My dark attributes might be the trigger, but that’s fine. At least she’s listening to my words.

“Talent is something that can be surpassed. Felicia here is proof of that.”

“Yes. I’m a one-attribute user, but I can break through your three-attribute magic.”

She perfectly aligns with my intentions. Having Felicia by my side is reassuring. As I am now, it’s amazing that I’ve only just met her. It seems she’s skilled at understanding people’s intentions. If that’s the case, then she must have strongly conveyed her thoughts to others as well. I want to build a better relationship with Felicia too.

However, for now, I need to focus on Leena in front of me. Once I overcome this, everything will begin.

“That’s an interesting thing to say. Shall we go outside?”

With that, I follow Leena to a place that looks like a training ground. Since we’re outside, it should be fine to get a bit rough.

“Are you ready, Felicia?”

“Of course. I won’t lose so easily.”

Felicia is confident, but I’ll prepare just in case. I’ve already mastered the technique of granting others the power of dark attire. With this, I can protect the people close to me. It’s a valuable ability.

Leena seems to be fully motivated, and I sense a bit of hostility towards me. I’ve provoked her, after all. That’s only natural. But I believe it’s necessary.

Felicia and Leena are both ready, and the atmosphere is tense. In reality, Leena makes the first move.

“Then, let’s go! Triple Reverse Array!”

It looks like a triple attribute technique, using fire, water, and wind. This is a basic technique for multiple attribute users, where they clash their magical powers to create an explosion. However, it’s possible to take down a person with this technique.

“Inferno Flame!”

Felicia responds by unleashing a flame pillar. She engulfs Leena’s explosion and devours it. Magic is indeed mysterious. It can create phenomena that defy physical laws. However, fire magic is affected by the presence or absence of air, making it complex.

Anyway, the important thing is the result in front of me. Felicia has broken through a three-attribute magic with her single attribute magic. This is clear proof that one’s innate talent is not the only deciding factor.

“How’s that? I’ve broken through your three-attribute magic with a single attribute.”

“My sister Camilla is also a one-attribute user who can break through multiple attribute users.”

Leena smiles lightly, then turns her sharp gaze towards me.

“Then, I’d like to challenge your dark magic. Will you accept, Rex? Of course, I won’t hold back.”

If she hadn’t said that, I might have secretly held back. But now that she’s thrown down the gauntlet, I have no choice. The outcome is already decided. I can even defend against Philis’s magic, who is a top-class magic user.

“Yes, come at me anytime.”

“Then, let’s go! Collapsing Meteor!”

She unleashes a five-attribute magic that rains down meteorites. However, I don’t think it can penetrate my defense.

“Dark Attire!”

The meteorite that was headed for me was deflected, but the fragments flew towards Rina. I panicked and used my body to shield her. After moving, I thought it would have been more efficient to use magic.

“Damn, that was close, Princess Rina!”

“You… shielded me? Even with magic defense, you…?”

Rina looked perplexed. It seemed she had no experience being protected. It’s sad, but I want to help her. That’s my genuine intention.

“It’s only natural. Princess Rina’s talent can’t be lost.”

“Yes… I never thought being helped by someone would make me so happy…”

Rina shed a single tear. It was incredibly beautiful.

“You were planning to seduce Princess Rina, weren’t you?”

Felicia’s words sounded like teasing. If not, it would be troublesome. Perhaps she was trying to lighten the mood.

“It’s still too early for you to seduce me. But thank you, Rex-san.”

Rina smiled, still tearful. We took our first step forward. From now on, I’ll work towards securing Rina’s future. Two more steps, two more steps. I’ll definitely seize the future.
