The Villain is Being Suspiciously Kind - Chapter 89

Chapter 89

Meanwhile, let’s look at Genfiros and Elaina’s circumstances after Citrina’s kidnapping.
Genfiros was stunned.
With Citrina in Elaina’s hands, he had calmly sharpened his sword,
waiting for the chaos to come.
But then it happened.
As if something had been cut off, the constant signal coming from his sword ceased. At first, he thought it was a simple mistake.
Hours later, it dawned on him that this was not the case.
All of Genfiros’s agents at the border were gone. They had been moved without a trace.
This had been his new army, created to destroy all of the other species. As the saying goes, “The enemy of my enemy is my friend”, which is why the dead were essential to his plan to terminate all the species. Genfiros frantically searched the border.

“Duke Pietro is a curse created by Toloji.”

Toloji, a giant in the world of warlocks, created the murderous creature.
Toloji was the literal embodiment of the devil. Desian Pietro, who had destroyed that devil, had obliterated all of his troops.

“How dare he…”

Until now, Genfiros had only dreamed of wreaking havoc on the world. That was why he had deigned to help Elaina in her path to revenge.
The extent of his emotions was that simple.
However, in the face of utter destruction, even those who loved chaos would panic.
Sword in hand, Genfiros chuckled.
The amount of Desian Pietro’s power, he who had killed Toloji, was unknown. Nevertheless, he would clean it up along with the other species Through the power of a real demonic curse.

‘Elaina and Citrina, those two sisters will help.’

His eyes were bloodshot.
Genfiros had returned from the border of the empire, from the Place of Abyss where countless demons strayed.
He heard that Elaina had failed to get her hands on Citrina and that she had failed to kill Countess Badil.
It only served to fuel his anger.

“…Now what shall we do? They’ll surely accuse me. And then my qualifications as a paladin will be-”

Elaina was trembling.
Her desire was simple. It’s that she wanted to succeed. She wanted to eliminate all the noise that was Citrina Foluin, blocking her road map to success.

“You will retain your status as a paladin.”
“That’s not possible! I’m sure they’ll turn me into the empire or the Holy Kingdom!”
“What proof do they have? We killed all of the witnesses.”
“Th, they were killed?”
“Yes.”

Genfiros smiled, hiding his twisted insides. His pure and gentle expression was priestly.

“Th, then am I going to be okay?”

She still didn’t care if people died. She was only interested in her career.
Elaina sat back and began biting her nails. It was a common behavior of those who had been stripped of their ego by the sword.
A bit more and she would be over it.
Genfiros glanced at Elaina.

“Elaina-nim.”
“…Yes.”

Genfiros laughed at Elaina’s somber answer.

“You failed. However, I have another trick up my sleeve.”

Elaina’s sullen scowl came to life sharply.

“First of all, stop seeking revenge.”
“Huh?”

Elaina’s voice turned pointed.

“I’m not asking you to stop completely. Once this plan is put into action, it will come naturally.”
“…What?”
“The ‘holy spirits’ that dwelt in the sword have disappeared. The duke must have been looking after Citrina Foluin.”

He couldn’t believe Duke Desian Pietro was actually dealing with spirits. His gentle face cracked. His jaw was clenched so tightly that his chin ached.

“Therefore, shouldn’t we approach it a different way?”
“…Then what will happen to Citrina?”
“She’ll die.”
“So I’ll…”
“You will survive. And your name will live on as a great paladin.”

A great paladin. Elaina’s face lit up in ecstasy.

“I will cast a curse-no, a spell.”
“…a spell?”

Elaina’s voice dropped sharply.

“Yes. That’s all you have to know for the time being. You just need to cooperate for now.”
“W, will it be alright?”

At Elaina’s trembling voice, Genfiros responded benevolently. However, his voice did not maintain its regular ‘sacred’ quality.

“Of course.”

Desian Pietro would want to take Genfiros’s life. He would go to the border, wipe everyone out there, and spread havoc with his curse.
If he were human, he wouldn’t be able to handle it.
A wry grin spread across his face, but it still looked holy. Elaina’s eyes shone beautifully as she watched him.
