Breaking a Romantic Fantasy Villain - Episode 4

Episode 4.  Maurice Dmitri

* * *

It’s been an uncomfortable morning for the first time in a long time.

The reason was simple.

Because of Seria, who currently occupies a corner of the mansion.

There were more than one or two spells cast in anticipation of what might happen.

They even raised an alarm in case she ran away.

Luckily she didn’t run away.

It means that you know how to understand reality.

It was Seria who was executed for her identity.

Siegfried cries out that he will not abandon her, but he knows this one thing.

It’s literally hell outside for her right now.

“The clothes suit you. Do you like it?”

I asked, looking at Seria wearing a maid’s uniform.

Seria just bit her lip and did not respond.

It was a bit quieter than the first day, but it was still the same.

Undiminished pride.

“You seem to like it.”

At first, I was worried about having them take off all their clothes.

It would be a greater humiliation for her to be wearing an old maid uniform than to be n*ked

It was proof that her identity had completely disappeared.

The accessories that always adorned her body were gone, and in their place was a choker

with a blue mana stone embedded in it.

The neck with the choker was bright red.

It was a sign of having worked hard to remove it all night.

No matter how hard you try, it will be of no use.

Unless I take it off myself, I won’t be able to take off that choker.

“How was your morning?”

I definitely ordered her to make breakfast before going to bed yesterday.

But there was no trace of breakfast on the table.

Seria didn’t answer.

“Ha.”

I looked down at her.

“Do you still have any lingering feelings about your previous identity? Or are you too stupid

 to understand my commands?”

“I am Siegfried. Seria Siegfried, the eldest daughter of Siegfried, a proud ducal family of the

Empire! Do you want me to prepare food for you? Nonsense!”

Seria raised her eyes.

‘Do I still have regrets?’

This was difficult.

In many ways.

“ I have told you yesterday. “Seria Siegfried is dead.”

She had strong pride.

Even in the original work, that kind of personality caused problems several times.

Now is the time when the original work ended.

I decided to fix that personality first.

Perfect!

I snapped my fingers.

“Aaaah!”

The mana stone on the choker glowed in response to my mana.

Seria trembled from the flowing electric current.

“S-Stop it!”

A faint electric current stimulated her body.

The electric current stimulating her body was not simple.

An electric current that stimulates nervous structures throughout the body.

It was a torture that could make even veteran warriors shed tears.

It was not the kind of pain Seria could endure.

As long as that magical power works, her body no longer belongs to her.

Seria screamed, writhing uncontrollably.

“Please, please stop!”

But I didn’t stop the current.

He didn’t even reply.

How much electricity did they suffer?

“I-I’m sorry. So please stop!”

As she struggled, she shouted urgently.

“It’s not enough. “You need to be more sincere.”

“I’m sorry!”

Then I snapped my fingers again.

“Do you understand now? No matter what I do, there is no one to protect you. You’d better

realize it quickly. otherwise.”

Because it will be even more painful.

I swallowed the last word.

“I want to have breakfast.”

“… … .”

“Are you going to come to your senses if you get hit one more time?”

When I raised my hand, Seria trembled.

After hesitating, she headed to the kitchen.

I heard a rattling noise coming from the kitchen.

After reaching the peak of magic, I stopped eating breakfast.

Nevertheless, the reason I ordered her breakfast was to make her aware of her status.

I had to make her realize that she was an object, not a noble lady.

I need to adapt as quickly as possible so I can save time for her.

I sat quietly and enjoyed the sounds coming from the kitchen.

There was a loud noise as if she was struggling.

There was no expectation that proper food would be served.

She was a woman who couldn’t even wash herself.

Of course, I won’t be able to eat breakfast.

Everything was a necessary procedure.

Clink!

The sound of dishes breaking was loud.

“Aah!”

I also heard screams.

But I didn’t go.

I went into the kitchen.

Grumble!

It was when unusual smoke came out of the kitchen.

“Ha.”

I don’t know how she did it, but the kitchen was a mess.

Food ingredients were spilled everywhere, and dishes were broken everywhere.

The fire is burning in the frying pan! It burned.

‘It’s worse than I thought.’

I unfolded the formula and spread the water curtain.

As the oxygen in the air was cut off, the hot fire slowly died out.

Only after confirming that the lights were turned off, did I see Seria, who was startled.

Seria blushed and lowered her head.

“Wipe your face with this first.”

I handed the handkerchief to Seria.

I waved my hand and cleaned up the broken dishes and messy ingredients.

“Get ready again.”

“Yes?”

“I told you to prepare breakfast.”

“… … .”

“There is not much time left. I hope you do it quickly. “I don’t want to be late because of

the maid.”

Seria bit her lip.

I just squirmed and stood in front of the frying pan again.

Chi-ik!

After a while, a half-burned-fried egg was served for breakfast.

I managed to avoid being late.

Magic Tower.

It was a treasure trove of knowledge containing the essence of all magic in the empire, and

a building that symbolized the magic of the empire.

All important organizations related to magic, including the Empire’s Ministry of Magic,

existed in the Magic Tower.

It was said that the Imperial Magic Tower was connected to all worlds.

‘It’s not entirely wrong.’

Look at the numerous portals on the magic tower.

With just one portal, you could easily go to any corner of the world.

“Minister, are you here?”

“Okay.”

Received the attention of numerous wizards and employees.

It has already been more than a week since I became the youngest new Minister of Magic.

Nevertheless, wizards who bow at 90 degrees still haven’t gotten used to it.

Someone with respect.

Someone greeted me with jealousy.

The reception I received was completely different from when I was a vice minister.

‘But.’

Maurice’s reputation in the Empire was high, but not for good reasons.

The Empire’s greatest battle wizard.

and.

The Empire’s worst torture wizard.

That was the adjective given to Maurice Dmitry.

It was only when I was vice minister that there was a minister who kept me in check, but

If I were a minister, it would be a different story.

by the way.

The gaze is more intense today.

‘Did they send an assassin?’

Among those who lowered their heads, half were uncomfortable with my presence.

There were definitely factions within the Ministry of Magic.

The Emperor faction is made up of young wizards who follow the current emperor.

The Magic Tower is made up of wizards who protect the existing order.

If you think about it, I’m probably closer to the emperor faction.

There was no way there wasn’t an enemy targeting me.

It was when I was waiting for the elevator, feeling the burdensome gaze.

“Oh, Minister!”

“Is it Sadric?”

Sadtic Wolfart.

He was a wizard who became the new Deputy Minister of Magic when I was promoted to

Minister of Magic.

Was the trick fire magic?

I thought he was originally a lay wizard.

In a similar case to mine, he was a magician who sided with the emperor’s faction and was

recognized for his expertise and rose to a high position.

He was the most active and hard-line figure among the imperial faction.

‘He is the person we need to be most careful with.’

He was one of the fanatics who thought the emperor was a law and god.

“It’s still cold. Minister, are you okay with your work?”

“It’s no different. “This is what I did when I was vice minister.”

“Incredible. “I still can’t get used to it.”

“Because combat isn’t everything about magic.”

“Haha, because I’m a practical person. “It would have been better not to have a lend.”

Sadric said jokingly.

He is a noisy guy.

He was the type of person that just got more annoying when he was next to me.

The elevator has arrived.

“By the way, how was last night?”

“What do you mean?”

“Isn’t there a gift from His Majesty the Emperor? That Siegfried… … .”

ah.

Is it because of that?

This is the gaze I felt deeply as soon as I entered the Magic Tower today.

“I envy you, Minister. “To receive as a gift from His Majesty the Emperor her former fiancee,

Seria Siegfried.”

“Sadric.”

“Yes?”

“Seria Siegfried is dead.”

“Oops, I made a mistake.”

Sadric covered his lips with his finger.

“This guy’s mouth is the problem. “My mother always told me to watch her mouth.”

“Sadric.”

“Yes?”

“noisy.”

“Oh, I’m sorry.”

Tiring!

He remained silent until he reached the 72nd floor, where the Deputy Minister of Magic’s

office was located.

“Then good luck.”

I saw the back of the guy getting out of the elevator.

‘He’s a dangerous guy.’

In another sense, he was one of the guys you had to be most careful with in the Magic Tower

From my experience surviving in the Magic Tower and the Ministry of Magic for three years,

a guy like that is the most dangerous in the world.

These guys have a screw missing somewhere.

Tiring!

We arrived at the 89th floor, the Minister of Magic’s office.

The entire 89th floor was the minister’s office.

“Are you here?”

The secretary who had already arrived for work got up from her seat.

“Did anything special happen last night?”

“Yes, other than a fire in the eastern elven forest, a dragon rampaging in the northern forest, a murder in the city, and the unusual movement of southern barbarians to invade the border that was in turmoil after His Majesty’s coronation, nothing much happened. doesn’t exist.”

“Nothing much happened.”

It was all like an annual event.

Even when dispatched after receiving a report, most of the incidents were minor.

I looked down at my secretary.

It was Mary Jane, who had been working as the minister’s secretary since she was the

Minister of Magic.

She was an impressive beauty with blood-red hair.

It was a character that did not appear in the original novel.

Three years passed, but her identity was still unknown.

What was clear was that she was not just a human.

“What day is today?”

“Yes?”

“The common wizards, Sadric, and you all start smiling strangely when they see me.”

“Oh, were you caught?”

Jane laughed bitterly.

“Speak quickly. “I said it to make me feel dizzy.”

“What reason would there be to see the Minister now? “It’s because of Seria.”

“Are you curious too?”

“Well, who doesn’t wonder what the man who was given the most beautiful woman in the

empire did with her last night?”

Jane perked up her ears.

“You’re wasting your energy on useless things.”

“If it were me, Minister, would you have been curious too?”

“I didn’t do anything.”

“Really? Was there no beast attacking Beauty? “Didn’t she give you an order to r*pe her by

force?”

“I didn’t do it.”

I had no intention of doing anything and had no hobbies.

She looked somewhat disappointed.

You might want a little more provocative news, but that won’t happen.

“Didn’t she yell at you last night?”

I did scream.

Although it was something I said while taking a bath.

I didn’t answer.

“You did it?”

Jane’s green eyes sparkled.

Her eyes could distinguish between truth and lies in people’s words.

“I didn’t tell you.”

“The silence just now was almost an affirmation!”

“Ha, I understand you have a lot of work to do.”

“The Minister can handle that quickly.”

“Jane, I don’t want to have an incompetent secretary. I especially hate lazy secretaries. 

“If you don’t want to be kicked out of the tower, start with work.”

He pursed his lips in stubborn refusal and stepped back.

“What schedule do I need to pay attention to today?”

“There is one.”

“Something?”

“His Majesty the Emperor has called.”

“Call?”

“Yes.”

It was rare for the Emperor to call the Minister of Magic first.

Reports were usually received in writing or via video conference through a crystal ball.

Or the minister visits the imperial palace to report.

‘It’s obvious.’

The many looks I received today.

It’s probably because of the story about Seria.
