My Man Is A Villain, So Am I!

Same time, The northern empire,

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

"Valencia, stop it...I can't...can't breathe." Marinette groaned trying to get Valencia's hands off her, Victor was paralyzed on the spot couldn't do anything when seeing such a superior being did such a thing to Marinette.

"Marinette unnie!!! We used to do this all the time~" Valencia giggled and unhugged Marinette to let her take a breath.

Phew

'I didn't even notice her...'

Marinette was relieved she manipulated the demon's memories beforehand, if she didn't...it wasn't just a lovable hug she got, she might even lose her head against Valencia.

'What's with the unnie anyway?'

"Valencia, behave, okay?? We have to return to our home and deactivate your magic, you're hurting Victor."

"Alright..." Valencia pouted sulking then waved her hand in the air to release the magic she used for immobilizing Victor.

Her magic was still operating fine, even her sword skill but the reason why she didn't kill Marinette instantly was that her memories were already manipulated.

"Good girl." Marinette hesitated a little bit before patting Valencia's head. After patting Valencia, she put her trembling hands behind her back.

"Marinette unnie, I'm hungry..." Valencia's stomach was rumbling, she glanced at Marinette with pitiful puppy eyes with her hand on the empty stomach.

"How about we eat some fish??" Marinette pointed at the stream, Valencia jumped with excitement and snuggled Marinette's hand.

Marinette tried her best to hide her fear and signaled Victor to act naturally.

"How about we fish with the fishing rod?" Victor smiled awkwardly and walked to both of them slowly pulling the fishing rod from his magic inventory.

Valencia glared at him like a nasty cat and took the fishing rod from Victor in a hurry.

"Let's go, Unnie. We can catch fish just the two of us."

"Ah...alright...Victory, you stay here and watch our stuff, okay??" Marinette was taken by Valencia, she hugged Marinette's hands tightly as they walked, she turned to Victor for a little bit and stuck her tongue out at Victor teasing him.

'How did Marinette manipulate this demon's memories??'

Victor was puzzled sighed and sat lonely watching the stuff for the girls.

Marinette's POV

Ahh...I, myself didn't even know how did I manipulate the memories of Valencia. But If I had to guess, she must be thinking of me as a sister or something.

She called me by the name Marinette and added Unnie...it felt a little bit awkward being called Unnie when she was way thousands of years older than me.

We walked to the river with the deepwater level, Valencia brushed off the dirt on the big rock for me to sit.

Her eyes were white even after many hours she used the transformation magic, her eyes should return to the black by now.

In the battle, that pair of eyes were quite troublesome to deal with since she could see each and every one of my movements. But now...she couldn't see anything. She had to touch the water to know how deep it was.

I knew Valencia in the novel was blind but how could someone be so carefree like her...she looked at my face like she could see it.

"Unnie, what's wrong?? Aren't we here to catch fish?"

"Nothing...you're just so pretty today, Valencia." I threw the bait on the water waiting for the prey to take the bait while talking to Valencia.

"...I really want to see your face...unnie...but I'm pretty sure you're the prettiest in the world."

"..."

I'm not that pretty. Well, if you could see right now, you won't be much wrong since I'm in the female lead's body after all.

"Unnie??"

"You're way prettier than me, Valencia." I patted her shoulder and looked back at the bait floating on the water.

At that moment, my heart was aching a little bit.

Even she didn't remember anything about her being a demon served under the demon king, she was still a threat to humanity and when I returned back to the Center Empire...there's no way people would forgive her and let her free like what Victor did.

I started to question my decision.

"Unnie, are you alright?? Your voice seems a little down..."

"No...no, I'm fine...really."

"I know this trip is difficult but I'm pretty sure we can escape from here since I was born here after all."

She was born here??! In the northern empire?

She stopped for a moment scratching her head and then muttered in a sad tone, "Not exactly here though, I live at the border...but I used to sneak inside this empire from time to time."

"We rely on you, Valencia. I don't know what to do without you." the bait on the water shook as the prey finally caught in the trap, I pulled in with all my forces and the fish came out of the water then become food for the three of us.

I'm sorry, Valencia...when you got your real memories back, I don't think I'll be the unnie you smiled at. I might be the human who crashed your trust in me.

After having lunch, we set off to the capital with the disguise we put on. I tied Diana's hair in the ponytail then wore the man's wig for my disguise while the other two only wore many layers of clothes under the intense heat.

The knights were everywhere, and the poster of me and Victor was hammered to the wall everywhere across the street.

"Is this where you lost the antidote??" Victor nodded, and it was really a nutcase since it was at a very dirty alley with many craps everywhere on the road.

I had to pluck my nose to endure that smell, with my eyes looking for the antidote. Valencia couldn't help us in any way, she was sitting at the entrance of the alley waiting for us.

"It's gonna be a little more difficult breaking out of here with all those posters around." Victor muttered while searching the antidote inside the can full of trashes.

"You made the wrong choice coming back here...you should've left when I told you to with the gem we stole."

"Well, it is what it is. How can I leave you behind anyway?"

You can't leave me behind, but you can do the most ridiculous thing such as swapping bodies.

It was really hopeless searching for the antidote in a place like that, it was like finding the needle in the ocean.

"You really changed a lot, Marinette..."

"Did I...?"

"Just a little tiny bit."

"What's that little tiny bit you think I changed...?"

"Hmm...let's just say you're more considerate with your words."

"Hah??" I squinted my eyes glancing at him.

He giggled looking at my reaction.

"Remember the first time we met?? You said I'm pathetic...ahh, that really hurt my heart."

I knew that from Marinnette's memories. Since I'm not the real Marinette, I really didn't want to engage in the conversation about longtime memories or anything. I went to search on the other side.

And he still followed me there!

"Can I ask you one question?"

"What is it?" I asked nervously.

I calmed myself since Victor won't force me to answer the question I didn't want to tell him.

"Can I know who is the other person you brought with you to this timeline??"

I have no idea either. If only I got the whole memories...

Victor already knew Diana was one of the time travelers, and he seemed to get the idea of Marinette traveling back in time as well.

But Marinette traveling back in time shouldn't be the case since, in her diary, she wrote the same event in her life as if she experienced it first hand.

I still questioned her decision of why she chose Diana as someone she brought back.

There must be something behind it and right now, that shouldn't be something I need to know that much.

First, change body back, then escape, and then by the time, I arrived at the center empire, the opportunity will come when the emperor would have no choice but to cancel the engagement.

"You don't want to tell me...? It's okay then..." he looked a little bit down and walked slowly to the other side.

Without turning to him, I murmured, "I only knew you and Diana were the ones I brought..."

"..." he didn't reply or say anything. I turned my head looking at his back who act like he didn't hear anything.

"It's up to you if you believe me or not."

"Thank...for telling me." I could see from where I stood, seeing him wiping something from his eyes.

He really had a simple mind just like his last life.

Victor, when I swap body with Diana back, I don't think I could stay around you any longer. You're like the two edges sword which would be the judge of my life, you could be my killer or my savior at the same time...

'The person you trust will stab your back.' the words of the lady from before crossed my mind brought me the cold sweat rolling down on my back.

In the meantime, I shouldn't trust anyone neither Victor nor Valencia.

+++

"Ohh?? Valencia...how weak you are right now...to be manipulated by a two decades brat?" the destruction empress Aimila walked past glancing her eyes at Valencia with her new disguise as the little boy with red hair.

She giggled and jumped with the red spider lily as she ran into the dirty alley jumping past Victor and Marinette who were trying so hard to find the antidote which was in her basket.

'AHAHA...manipulating a legendary demon...my eyes didn't fool me when it comes to the seed of destruction...Marinette, time will tell when will you become the destruction for this world after me.'

To be continued....!
