The Deeds Of An Extremely Arrogant Villain Aristocrat

Chapter 48: Their Delusions

Did you call for me, my lord?

Yeah, Nicole, youve come at a good time.

The black-haired boy sat on the throne. A beautiful woman who appeared to be a nun appeared and kneeled respectfully to the boy.

The piece I obtained. Do you remember the foolish noble from that country?

Of course, my lord.

Well, it seems that I cant use it anymore.

What happened?

Nicole thought that it couldnt be true. There was no way her master could fail.

I was surprised. I thought they were just foolishly fighting for power, but there are wise men everywhere. This is my mistake. I misjudged that country.

My lord, you could not have made a mistake!

Nicole raised her voice unintentionally.

F-forgive me, my lord.

Its okay.

She lowered her head and apologized for her rudeness.

The Darkness is in my way. I want someone to get rid of it, and I want that someone to be you, Nicole. Can you do it for me?

W-what an honor! That I, myself, could receive such an important task!

Nicole trembled with joy. She was needed and was necessary for her lord, and that alone made her feel as if she were ascending to heaven.

However, when she looked at those crimson eyes, which seemed to be weighing her, she quickly regained her composure. She hadnt accomplished anything yet. It would be meaningless if she didnt live up to her lords expectations.

So, what would you do? You understand after this incident, right? The darkness is strong. Youll be defeated if you go directly, but you know that, right?

Youre absolutely right, my lord.

Nicole had no objections. She knew herself best. She wasnt particularly bad at fighting. However, if the information was correct, she couldnt win against the darkness in a direct fight.

From an objective point of view, she calmly made that judgment.

What will you do then?

Let someone close kill him. If its someone they truly trust, there will surely be a chance.

Nicole had already made a plan in her head. She didnt need to take matters into her own hands.

Hahaha, thats great. Im counting on you, Nicole.

Y-yes, my lord!

Seeing her own master smiling with satisfaction, tremendous joy ran through Nicoles entire body like an electric current.

Thats the situation, Alice. They will inform us later about the party schedule. Keep that in mind.

Yes, I understand. Father.

Is something wrong?

No Im just a little tired, so Ill rest in my room.

My father seemed to have said something else, but I kept walking towards my room without stopping.

I opened the door and buried my face in the bed as if collapsing onto it. Then I twisted my body and laid on my back, staring at the ceiling.

This is the worst.

The Aslan Magic Academy Attack Incident.

Knights occasionally came to my house, claiming to be investigating, and wanted to hear my story. It was really annoying.

It was clear that they suspected that I was the one who led them. Even if the world turned upside down, that would never happen.

Thats why I havent been able to contact Luke for about three weeks no, thats just an excuse.

I was actually waiting. Waiting for Luke to contact me. Waiting for him to say that he wanted to see me.

I wanted proof that my feelings werent one-sided but that desire brought about the worst possible outcome.

Ice dragon.

One of the elemental dragons that even children know about. Luke achieved the unbelievable feat of subjugating and controlling the Ice Dragon.

It should be a joyous thing in reality. Actually, Im sincerely happy about what Luke accomplished. But

My attribute overlaps with it.

At that moment, a disturbing thought passed through my mind.

These past three weeks have been really frustrating. I knew it was not good, but even if I resisted, I indulged in self-gratification once every three days.

Still, I endured it because my desire for Luke was stronger. I wanted to go to Gilbadia right now, in the middle of the day or at night, and push him down on the bed.

Its not something a lady should do, but once you experience that pleasure, you cant resist it.

However, I still havent heard from Luke.

The reason for that is could it be because of the Ice Dragon?

According to one theory, dragons have a higher intelligence than humans. And although I dont know if its true or not, Ive read in a document that in the southern part of the continent, there is a race called Dragon People who have ancestors of both dragons and humans.

In other words, there is a possibility that Luke and the Ice Dragon have developed a relationship beyond that of a summoner and a familiar!

Thats why Luke didnt contact me. He was satisfied with what he did with the dragon, both in and out of battle.

This could this be cuckoldry?

As soon as such an obscene thought crossed my mind, I felt an indescribable lust surge through my body, accompanied by a pain that tightened my chest.

HaahHaah

I used all my willpower to stop my hand from reaching my lower abdomen, which was about to extend to it. This was absolutely not good. I felt like I wouldnt be able to turn back once I gave in to this temporary pleasure.

I refuse to be foolish enough to lose everything by giving in to momentary pleasure.

I cant stay like this.

I headed to my fathers side as soon as possible, so that I could head to Gilbadia immediately.

Oh, welcome back Mia-chan! You did amazing today!

Ugh, elemental magic is so dangerous.

Gahahaha, we cant let ourselves be defeated!

As Mia returned to the guild, many greeted her. Yes, she was currently working as a solo adventurer.

All for the sake of being needed by Luke.

When news came that Luke had become an adventurer, she decided to become one herself. She believed that if she did, she would definitely be needed.

Being a solo adventurer was inconvenient in many ways. She realized that immediately after she started, and still feels it now.

However, she couldnt imagine Luke teaming up with commoners. Thats why Mia became a qualified adventurer. To support Lukes adventurer activities.

But

(Luke still hasnt contacted me today. Should I reach out to him but)

She might annoy him. She might be a bother. Thinking that, Mias feet were too nervous to move. Plus, it felt like she was trying to outdo Alice, which made her hesitate.

As she completed various requests, she became an A-rank adventurer.

At first, she was shunned by other adventurers because of her noble status, but they couldnt help but acknowledge her isolated power. Many now treat her with a friendly camaraderie as fellow adventurers.

Um, is something wrong?

No I was just thinking a little.

Hmm. Oh, have you heard? The seventh S-rank adventurer in the kingdom appeared in Gilbadia

Tell me more!!

Eh!?

Gilbadia.

The word caught Mias terrifyingly honed senses. The man who casually brought up the topic without knowing anything was intimidated by Mias unseen presence.

W-whats wrong, Mi

Hurry up! Continue the story!

Eh, oh it seems that the seventh S-rank adventurer in the kingdom appeared in Gilbadia. Moreover, hes a solo adventurer like you, and his name is

Luke, right?

Thats right! Hes apparently the son of a lord, and he defeated an ice dragon and tamed it all by himself! Its totally incredible!

Is that so

Whats wrong, Mia-chan!? Youre amazing too! Im sure youll be the next S-rank adventurer

The man seemed to still be saying something, but Mia started to walk unsteadily with vacant eyes. Without even hearing the voices calling out to her, she left the guild and went outside.

Icantmeasure up

Mia murmured.

If Luke had only defeated the Ice Dragon, there would have been no problem. It would have been something for her to be proud of as his fiance, and she could have used it as an excuse to visit him and celebrate.

However, the fact that he had tamed the dragon was a difficult truth for her to accept.

Mia returned to the mansion, still feeling empty, and collapsed onto her bed.

Im losing

Taming the dragon meant that Luke had acquired another piece.

It meant that the rank that she had clearly established in her mind was now being threatened.

Her position as someone who was necessary for Luke, including all the other men, was being challenged.

She only recognized Alice as someone who was more important to Luke than herself. However, she couldnt forgive Alice, who had become a pawn for Luke before her, for being more necessary to him than she was. It was unforgivable.

Im losing, Im losing, Im losing, Im losing, Im losing, Im losing, Im losing, Im losing, Im losing, Im losing, Im losing, Im losing, Im losing, Im losing, Im losing, Im losing

If Luke had acquired the Attribute Dragon, an Elemen

tal Dragon as a pawn, there was a possibility that it would be more necessary to him than she was.

The moment she thought that, her heart was engulfed in darkness.

I have to go. Quickly.

Mia also decided to hurry to Gilbadia as soon as possible.
