I Quit Being The Male Lead’s Rival

Chapter 50 – The Circumstances of a Trivial Villain (12)

The Circumstances of a Trivial Villain (12)

“Hello.” Cessianne wore a sky blue dress and greeted us with a gentle smile.

“Thank you for the invitation.” “No, we are honored.” Mother spoke to her gracefully and naturally led her into the drawing room. “It’s so nice to see you again like this.” The Rainfield mansion was worth so much money that it was as grandiose as any other nobleman’s house. My mother put on thicker makeup than usual and smiled with sincerity. After Aaron went out we worked hard to prepare since mother was going to have afternoon tea with her. Father started making tea food to go with her finest tea, and mother showed me clothes for Cessianne.

‘Nice.’

It was like a dream in itself to be among a family overjoyed to welcome my brother’s lover.

It was really ordinary and sincere, times I had never got to enjoy.

We sat around the parlor and started drinking tea together.

“Oh my, it’s delicious.”

Cessianne opened her eyes in admiration as she tasted father’s toasted financiers.

As far as I knew, she was born in a slum and was traveling from one relative’s house to another. One day, her powers suddenly appeared and she had just entered as an apprentice saintess.

So she had never been to a Rainfield’s restaurant.

“When you return to the temple, take a box with you. I baked a lot.”

Father disguised himself as a crybaby and became a sober chef, speaking hard but affectionately.

“Oka ” y. Of course I joined too. “You can share with other saints and priests.”

Those words came from the insidious calculation that everyone would say something nice about Rainfields if they were fed.

So, the whole family was pushing Aaron and Cessianne on their backs to get together.

“Then…thank you.”

Fortunately, Cessianne didn’t seem to hate the atmosphere.

“Actually, it was the first time I tried healing from black magic that day…”

She blushed as she spoke her words.

“That’s why I keep feeling a strange connection with Aaron. It seems that we were somehow connected…”

In fact, Ian Wade was the one who was supposed to get connected without anyone knowing, but I didn’t have to say that here.

“That’s why I accepted the invitation like this even though I knew it was rude ”

I thought to myself calmly as I waved my hand, saying it wasn’t rude to everyone.

The connection with Ian in the original story may be because it was just the first person she saved by using her divine powers.

Cessianne said she had just recently become an apprentice saintess. After all, we had no choice but to adapt to our new destiny. Of course, I was very happy. Unlike usual, Aaron kept his mouth shut. `And Cessianne would be better off with Aaron than with Ian.’ Cessianne was a person who looked at people rather than backgrounds. The only thing that our house was inferior to of the Duke of Wade was our status. Even so, the status of the commoners in the Empire had been increasing over a long period of time. Later, when Robert became emperor, the boundaries were to become even more blurred. `If you don’t get entangled with the aristocratic family, you won’t have to get involved with Richard.’ Richard was crazy because his opponent was Ian when it came to Cessianne Although Richard liked Cessianne in the first place, he hated her low status. So, if things went well with Aaron, it was obvious that he would get her attention completely. `But why is it that it was so easy for her to get with Aaron but it took so long for her to get together with Ian…’ Of course I knew why.

Ian and Cessianne were similar, they couldn’t get close quickly and were just together in various crises.

However, Aaron was a man with a completely different personality from Ian, who could ask for a date naturally and skillfully.

Therefore, it was only a matter of time for two people, who liked each other from the first impression, to develop into lovers.

“And in fact…” After Cessianne took a sip of her tea, she spoke first. “I received an oracle in a dream. So I really wanted to meet Miss Annabelle.” I smiled while trying to control my expression. “Okay? What was it?” I wondered if the god had told Cessianne everything, so I was nervous Annabelle Reinfield was originally a very insignificant villain, but then she remembered her past life, and… I was in the midst of thinking that it was too wretched to explain to others. “It gave Annabelle ‘eyes to discern the origins of black magic.”‘ “Ah…” In the end, she was just stating the necessary conclusions. The atmosphere suddenly subsided, and even Aaron had a serious expression on his face.

To be honest, the sudden disappearance of black magic that day, anyone familiar with theology would predict that “the origin of black magic has been destroyed’ .

I left with Aaron without paying any attention to what happened after the scene at the black market, and Robert would have asked Ian about what happened in Room 3.

But surprisingly, what he announced to the public was completely different from the truth.

Ian accidentally broke the mirror while swinging his sword, and it is said that, by chance, it was one of the origins of black magic.

“Is that right?”

Cessianne asked quietly, and I just nodded without a word.

At my affirmation, the whole family sighed with concern.

Aaron, who had been silent for a while, slowly opened his mouth.

“Ian can’t wield his sword wrong, so I thought he was hiding something… I didn’t know that it was my sister’s ability.”

I rolled my eyes and said nothing. I guessed why Ian said that. It was care and protection for me.

If rumors spread that I knew the origins of black magic at once, other people involved in black magic wouldn’t let me go.

No matter how strong I was physically, it was best not to expose myself to bad people, as I could be secretly poisoned or put my family in danger.

Of course, my expression darkened because my family also noticed it.

“It would be better to keep it a secret, Miss, please.” My mother said in a worried tone. “I don’t want to lose Annabelle again…” “Yes. I won’t tell anyone but the Rainfield family.” Cessianne nodded her head with her good-natured face. “But Miss Annabelle,” She grabbed my hand. “God has spoken. I’d like to ask Annabelle for two more factors of the remaining ‘Origins of Dark Magic’. Please.” In the end, she came to deliver the word.

Last time I was not sure about the oracle that was given to her directly, so it seemed like I had to put a wedge through Cessianne.

The origins of black magic…

It had to satisfy the following conditions among the stories I knew in my previous life.

1. A non-human object, animal, or plant.

2. It touches the evil heart of human beings and causes conflict situations.

3. Its existence disappears without any punishment in the story.

It’s like the mirror in Snow White. When you saw it right in front of you, you could immediately understand it, but when you tried to think on a blank sheet of paper, you couldn’t think of it.

Actually, when I couldn’t sleep at night, I tried to find similar things by mobilizing all the stories I knew, but I couldn’t come up with any clues

“Miss Annabelle, who has a duty to protect the world from chaos…”

Cessianne neatly closed her eyes and murmured. “I will always pray for you.” I was frankly stunned. I could not say ‘the duty was originally yours’.

But now I’m facing all kinds of crises, and the saintess who was supposed to save the world falls in love with someone else and becomes an extra who would live a peaceful life.

For some reason, I felt like I was being self-absorbed, but I didn’t want to lose anything, considering that I met this warm family in return.

“And God said,” “There’s more?”

“Every time you destroy the origin of black magic, Miss Annabelle will be blessed ”

A blessing, such an abstract word.

“Is there anyone other than us who knows this? Witnesses?”

My mother asked in a worried tone, and she replied with a sigh.

“…Ian Wade.”

“Ian…” Even my parents used to call his name with respect. Ian, let alone the Duke of Wade, did not take issues with it. Aaron looked at me seriously and spoke his words. “Anyway, my vacation ends tomorrow.” Aaron was next to Cessianne and spoke only very normal words.

He had been on vacation since the black market incident. It was justified in spending time with his newly found family Of course, he spent more time with Cessianne during his vacation though.

“Come with me to the Duke of Wade.”

“Huh? Why am I going there?”

“Then why have you been there for the past eight years? You just went about it as a habit.” (pr/n: She went to fight out of habit bro but now she doesn’t need to)

“I’m not Annabelle Nadit anymore, I’m Annabelle Rainfield.” I shook my head and said. “I don’t do stuff like that anymore.” “This is sad news… The only entertainment of the Knights of Wades has disappeared ” Aaron then made a serious expression and took a deep breath.

`But why don t we go tomorrow? First of all, I think we have to talk a bit with Ian about being able to recognize the ‘origins of black magic’. In addition… Leslie will want to see you.”
