I Was Reincarnated as a Villainous Noble Who Gets Killed Midway Through the Story but It Looks Like I’ll Be Executed as a Traitor if I Try to Do Good Deeds

12: Camilla Aster Black’s Desire

I’m annoyed by my brother Rex. Not that I want him to die or anything. The reason is simple. That arrogant guy is trying to learn sword skills just for fun, even though he can use dark magic.

Because I’m a “Monodeka,” a single attribute of lightning. As a magician, I’m not talented, so I chose to get stronger through swords.

“I’ll get stronger with swords…!”

After that, I trained desperately. Even with a single attribute, the magic that helped me was also together. Among them, I learned a technique that combined sword and magic. A technique that accelerated myself with lightning and struck with a sword.

“This is my ultimate technique that combines sword and magic. It’s called Bolt Spark!”

With this technique, I could defeat even a three-attribute human. I thought it was a high-level completion, a proof of my hard work. I felt a sense of satisfaction.

I had to learn magic and sword on my own. Father didn’t expect much from me, a single-attribute person. But Rex learned sword from Silent Killer Elina, the mute swordswoman, and magic from Wise Man Philis, the five-element super mage. Even though they were different species, they were attention-worthy existences.

It really got on my nerves.

Rex, who had a natural talent, had teachers that I couldn’t even get close to. If only I had someone to guide me, I could have grown more.

“I wonder if Rex knows how hard I worked to learn sword and magic. With a good teacher, it’s easy to grow, isn’t it?”

I had to learn everything through trial and error. If I had someone to show me the way, I could have been more efficient. I couldn’t even imagine how different it would be. But I won’t lose to Rex. I trained to defeat even a multi-attribute mage.

“I’ll make them realize my efforts. Then, even that foolish brother of mine won’t look down on me.”

Rex was only interested in the elf and beastkin maids, and didn’t even glance at me. Even though we’re siblings, he treated me like a stranger. I couldn’t forgive him.

So, I challenged that foolish brother to a fight. I wanted to make him recognize my existence. I wanted to make him understand who he should be looking at.

But I lost. When we fought with swords, he handled my sword techniques with ease. And to make matters worse, he used his famous Silent Kill technique. It was a crushing defeat.

After that, he challenged me to a magic battle with a smug face. I thought I could at least make him see my determination, but it didn’t go well. My attacks couldn’t penetrate his magic barrier. On top of that, he was toying with me. It was like a fight between a child and an adult.

I wasn’t just disappointed. My emotions overflowed, and I couldn’t stop crying. I wanted to at least pretend to be strong in front of my brother, but I couldn’t.

“I lost… I lost to my foolish brother! With both sword and magic! To someone who just started!”

My efforts were all for nothing. If I could lose to someone who just started learning sword and magic, what was the point of my hard work? Such emotions overflowed and wouldn’t stop.

I cried for a while, but when I calmed down, I was consumed by a different emotion. I wanted to make Rex cry. His face would definitely be cute when he’s crying.

“I’ll definitely make him cry someday. And when he does, I’ll comfort him and spoil him.”

To do that, I need to become much stronger than I am now. I need to become stronger than just a five-attribute mage, who’s considered the strongest among magic users. I need to become strong enough to defeat Rex.

“First, I need to train. Rex is incredibly strong, so I need to become stronger than him. I won’t win with just ordinary efforts.”

From then on, I started training even harder. I was determined to win, no matter what it took. I would stake my entire life on it.

That foolish brother of mine was playing around with his swords, but then he suddenly gave me a sword. A sword called Thunderbolt. When I tried it out, I was surprised by its sharpness. It could even cut through metal. It was a sword that fit my hand perfectly, and I could tell it was carefully selected. When I used my lightning magic with the sword, it felt like it was amplified. It was also designed to make it easy to use magic.

There was no doubt that it was a famous sword. I couldn’t deny it.

“I wonder if Rex is trying to give me a present, thinking he’s my enemy.”

Or maybe he was trying to get on my good side. He saw me crying in front of him, so he was trying to comfort me.

The reason didn’t matter. It was a convenient sword, and it was easy to use. I would treasure it, of course. There was no guarantee I could get it again.

When I thought about his face, I felt a little angry. But I would forgive him. It was a fact that I received a good thing. As a sister, it was natural to accept a gift from my brother.

“Well, I’ll use it until it breaks. Seeing my foolish brother lose because of the sword I gave him would be amusing.”

I trained every day to master the Thunderbolt. I was determined to defeat Rex and make him cry. And most importantly, I wanted to make him recognize my existence even more.

No matter how foolish my brother was, he was still family. As a sister, I should be prioritized above anyone else.

Rex was a foolish brother who prioritized elves and beastkins over me, but if he treated me with care, I would do the same for him. I would even kill any enemy for him.

“If I defeat Rex, I’ll make him submit to me. I’ll make him my dog. As long as he’s obedient, I’ll treat him with care.”

When I imagined Rex’s face, I couldn’t help but smile. It would be even better if he cried after that. I would comfort him and make him happy. That alone would make me happy.

“Hey, Rex. You’re my brother, so you should be happy to be mine. I’ll teach you that in the near future.”

It was natural for a brother to belong to his sister. Rex’s body and heart, his sword and magic, his smiling face and crying face. I would make everything mine.

Look forward to it, Rex?
