The Villain in the Side Story Wants to Live

Witch of Chaos

Cheer- Chir-

I woke up spontaneously to the chirping of birds that signaled the approach of morning.

I wondered if what happened yesterday might have been a dream given the sunlight pouring through the window frame.

Koo-wook-

The warmth felt on the hand and the soft touch denied that possibility.

‘He’s still asleep.’

As I lowered my head, I saw Serena, who had fallen asleep without the world knowing, with her head in my arms.

A few days ago, you were almost attacked by me, but you showed such a defenseless side.

You don’t think I’m a man? It occurred to me that the brave man might have been telling Serena some strange things about her.

It’s a bit embarrassing if she just believes that and acts like this.

She stretched out her fingers and pressed them against her cheeks. My fingers slipped between her cheeks like dough.

I checked Serena’s face just in case, but there was no movement.

Shall we try a little more?

This time he tugged at her cheek with her index finger. Serena’s cheeks stretched like glutinous rice cakes.

“Ugh…”

Perhaps it was because she pulled too hard, Serena let out a light moan.

Fearing that she might wake her up, she hurriedly let go of her cheek.

Smoothly.

The sound of breathing that quickly calms you down. Fortunately, I didn’t wake up because I was in a deep sleep.

After taking a breather, I felt a slight sense of shame. To harass her sleeping child with uncertain information.

‘There’s no way Serena would believe negative rumors about me in the first place.’

It may be self-conscious, but why is Serena showing me such a defenseless side?

Maybe it wasn’t because he believed in me?

‘And trust me.’

You can tell that Serena has a crush on me.

Suddenly, it dawned on me that Sharenne was right.

…… So what do I think of Serena?

She wasn’t particularly uncomfortable sleeping next to her, so it was clear that she trusted her.

No, actually more than that…….

Ding Dong-!

My thoughts stopped when I heard the doorbell ringing out of nowhere.

Did someone come to see you from early in the morning?

Serena seemed to be in a deep sleep and showed no sign of waking up when she heard her doorbell ringing.

Should I wake you up then? But I didn’t want to disturb her as she slept with her pleasant smile painted on her lips.

If I don’t react, I’ll give up and go back. I decided to choose silence.

Ding Dong-! Ding-dong-! Ding-dong-! Ding-dong-!

As if something important had happened, her ringing speed gradually increased.

Seeing that he was doing that, I thought it might be an important thing to inform Serena, the Chancellor of the Empire.

It bothered me to let go of her hand that held mine tightly, even for a moment, but I just need to come back and hold it.

I made up my mind to go out for a while, carefully removing Serena’s hand so that she wouldn’t wake up.

“Hello?”

When I opened the door, a dark-haired girl greeted me.

The voice or face is strangely familiar to the eyes. He soon realized that the woman in front of him was Serena’s aide, Giselle, whom he had seen yesterday.

“But isn’t this Serena-sama’s mansion? Why did someone else come out here?”

A playful tone, it feels like he’s scooping me up.

There is no need to give room for strange rumors. I decided to ignore her question and tell the truth.

“It’s because Serena hasn’t woken up yet.”

“You’re asleep, are you?”

Giselle narrowed her eyes and smiled, and at the same time as she muttered, a sour scent resembling lemon juice tickled her nose.

It wasn’t a disgusting smell, but involuntarily, her eyebrows furrowed.

“I think you’ll have to come back later.”

She is a woman who feels strangely ominous, as I felt yesterday.

She hurriedly tried to shut the door, but Giselle prevented her by sticking her foot in the crack.

“Unfortunately, I have documents that need to be processed ASAP.”

“But Serena…”

“If you wake up later, can you bring me the paperwork yourself? It’s really urgent.”

Giselle speaks with a smile. I don’t know if it was because of her mood, but I didn’t feel her urgency at all.

“Give me and I’ll give it to Serena.”

“It’s quite a bit, but can you help me? It’s right in front of the building.”

She was a bit reluctant, but she said it was in front of the building and not far away.

There was nothing she couldn’t do to help if that was enough for Serena.

“Let’s go.”

“Thank you.”

She followed her out of her building. She said she was right in front of her, but she didn’t stop her steps.

“Why is that? Just a little further.”

When she stopped at her suspiciousness, she smiled and hugged me.

Danger… It wouldn’t have been

For now, I followed her, but if I followed her steps to a place where people were rare, she decided to run away immediately.

“At this distance, even Serena-sama won’t notice, right?”

At some point, Giselle stopped her steps and said in a voice that contained her laughter.

“What do you mean you didn’t notice…”

“Oran-sama, no one follows you, so it’s okay to stop acting.”

Did she ever tell her my name?

Thinking she was in danger, she tried to run away, but the bitter scent of lemon lingered in her nose and her vision began to distort.

Let’s look around out of a sense of difference The place I’m standing right now is a deserted alley with no people.

There was no one to help me.

“You seem to be still anxious… I can’t help it.”

Giselle, who had come closer, blew black smoke over her hand.

An unpleasant turbid energy. It was magic, the source of power used by demons.

“Oran-nim, please sleep for a while.”

As she stirred her hand, a thick mage covered her blade. Soon after, she couldn’t stand her drowsiness and fell asleep.

“……Ugh.”

She woke up feeling the pain of being hit in the head with a baseball bat.

Even though I opened my eyes, I couldn’t see anything. Not blind Then she must be locked in a room with no light.

I tried to grab her throbbing head, but her arms wouldn’t move. As she struggled, the sound of her metal crashing in my ears.

A conclusion reached based on such information. It seems that I am currently imprisoned and imprisoned somewhere.

It’s been a while since I got out of prison, but I’m locked up somewhere again. I am afraid that being imprisoned will become a daily routine.

‘But it’s okay.’

Because the feeling of the ring on the ring finger is the same. As long as I’m alive, Serena will come looking for me.

Kiki-!

With the sound of a creaking door, a ray of light penetrated the dark room.

Although it reminded me of her first meeting with Serena for nothing.

“Hey Oran, are you resting well?”

The existence that appeared with its back to the light was Giselle.

“You… Are Serena’s aide, why would you do this?”

“Don’t you know who I am?”

Giselle didn’t answer my question and pushed her face against me.

A dark-haired girl with a pretentious smile on her lips.

With ruby-red eyes, there was no doubt that she was a demon in that she used magic, but she was none of the demon king’s minions that appeared in the novel.

“I don’t know anyone like you.”

“Hmm, that’s strange. Even if I’ve been hiding, if you’re Lord Oranne, you’ll know me.”

Continuing, she muttered, ‘As expected, did the demon lord’s curse blew away some of her memories?’ Then she whispered in my ear.

“Will you know when I say Chaos Witch?”

Witch of Chaos, that was a name I had heard before.

As one of the demon king’s minions, she is a villain in the novel who creates confusion by changing her appearance to match her nickname of the Witch of Chaos.

Her proficiency in making various curses and poisons, and the fact that she committed large-scale terror appeared throughout the novel.

I thought she was dead because of the description in the novel that she disappeared with the death of the demon king, but I thought she was hiding as Serena’s aide.

At the same time, I felt that way too.

This b*tch is the one who poisoned me and Serena.

“Your eyes have changed? Did you think about me?”

Because of this woman, I almost searched without knowing why. Of course, it’s not easy to forget.

I wanted to give back as much as I received, but now I couldn’t lift a finger.

For now, let’s pretend to cooperate and look for opportunities.

“So why did you kidnap me?”

“Kidnapped. Did you rescue him?”

He saved me… That?

For a moment, I couldn’t speak because I was dumbfounded.

“Serena, you must have had a hard time getting caught by that woman.”

“…What?”

“You’re the one who bothered me even when the Demon King was alive. I finally caught Oran-nim and used him as a toy… Oh, I’m sorry.”

Giselle covered her mouth and glanced at me.

“But it’s okay now. The saintess’s stigma has also been removed, so Oran is free.”

When she said the word ‘freedom’ with particular emphasis, it feels like she mistook me for being caught and rolled as a toy by Serena.

“Am I… completely out of Serena?”

“Yes, you are completely free now.”

She looked up at Giselle just in case, but she seemed to have no doubts.

…… She seems to be able to pretend that she is on the same side and escape from this place if she does well.

“You’d rather get revenge than that, don’t you?”

“Revenge?”

“Yes! That murderer is taking revenge just like he did to Oran-nim.”

Giselle murmured softly, ‘Aren’t they bad guys who don’t appreciate Oran-nim’s sacrifice?’

There was madness in her pupils that emitted a peculiar light.

I felt that there was nothing good about being involved.

“I want to help, but I don’t have the strength.”

“I know you lost your powers because of the demon lord’s curse.”

Receiving my words curtly, she put her hand into a black portal that floated in the air above her.

After a while, Giselle took out a bottle containing a black liquid with an ominous aura.

She held it out to me and continued her words.

“But if you drink this, the demon king’s curse will be somewhat neutralized.”

“……Can the curse be neutralized?”

“You can get back what you lost.”

I tried to tell him to let me go by appealing to the fact that I was no help at all.

“So go ahead and have a drink.”

Before I could stop, she poured the potion into her mouth.

“Your body will tremble a lot. But it’ll be fine because it’s tied up tight.”

I tried to spit it out, but the liquid in her mouth passed through my throat in an instant.

“Ouch…! What the hell… Is this… What…!”

After swallowing it whole, her stomach felt sore as if it were going to burn.

Soon after that, a cold sweat flowed down without stopping, and my body shivered like crazy.

But her physical pain was medicine.

Heterogeneous memories sparsely pop up in my head.

Repeatedly dying and reviving, cutting down someone countless times and harvesting her life.

Those memories that spontaneously recalled the smell of blood and rotting corpses wore away emotions and pushed the spirit to the limit.

“Oran will be the highlight of my plan.”

Just as she was about to lose her mind due to her information overload, Giselle hummed to me as she hummed.

“By killing Serena herself, based on her rekindled hatred.”
