NOVEL NEXT I Was Reincarnated as a Villainous Noble But I’ll Be Executed as a Traitor if I Do Good Deeds Chapter 30
30: Felicia Lavin Violet’s Plan
I’m Rex’s childhood friend. The Black and Violet families have a good relationship, so naturally, we became close.
After Rex recognized my flames, I started to tease him, and it was exhilarating to see him struggle.
I told Rex that the thief gang was approaching the Black family’s territory, and on my way back, I was attacked by mercenaries or something.
Of course, I lightly burned them to death. When I examined the corpses, I found a crest with a six-pointed star in the middle, which is the Black family crest. At the same time, a dahlia flower was engraved on their weapons.
In terms of the situation, Rex-san tried to kill me. I couldn’t even think of such a thing. He’s too kind. It’s unthinkable for someone from the Black family to be like that. So, I knew the answer right away. Someone must be trying to frame Rex-san.
“Hmm. The culprit doesn’t have enough power to kill me. I wonder who it could be. Since the Black family crest is involved, it must be someone related to them.”
I immediately went home and reported the situation to Father, leaving out my own deductions and only stating the facts. I probably wouldn’t be heard out anyway.
Then, Father, who had just finished investigating, reported back to me like this:
“Felicia, stay away from Rex. He’s a suspect in the attack on you.”
But I won’t obey. Teasing Rex-san is my life’s pleasure. If someone tries to take that away, I won’t forgive them, no matter who it is.
I think Father is just suspicious, but if he’s certain, he would try to kill Rex-san. At that time, Father’s life would be in danger, but…
“I refuse. I decide who I associate with.”
“I understand. This Dalia crest proves it. It’s clearly Rex’s doing.”
If you’re so sure it’s the culprit, why don’t you try to kill them? Even if it’s a family with connections, it’s enough to cut ties. There must be other intentions at play. I don’t know, but…
“I don’t know. If it’s the culprit, I’ll guide them to their demise with my own hands. That’s all.”
“I’m thinking of your well-being…”
“Then, please don’t interfere with my relationship with Rex-san.”
My pleasure is teasing Rex-san. Seeing him make a troubled face is incredibly delightful.
In reality, he’s a kind person, which is strange considering he was born into the Black family. That’s why my words trouble him.
But that’s exactly what excites me. He’s the one who said I could become stronger with just one attribute (Mono Decka). He’s the one who truly cares about me. That’s why I want to toy with him.
He’s always done things that aren’t like the Black family. When I was in trouble, when he tried to cheer up the Shadow Princess, and when he tried to mediate between the royal sisters. He’s always pretending to be a bad person.
It’s easy to understand why he acts like that. The Black family looks down on others, and the Violet family is the same. Since he’s surrounded by such people, he’d be troubled if he’s seen as a kind person.
That’s why it’s fun to tease him. He’s actually kind, but he doesn’t want to be seen as such. That contradiction is what I find appealing. Just a little bit of his true feelings shows, and I can see his flustered heart. He’s desperate to hide it, but…
“If Rex-san finds out I was attacked, he’ll worry, won’t he?”
To him, I’m an important person. I understand. That’s why he gets angry, sad, and hurt. He’s not even hurt himself. Honestly, I don’t understand why he cares about others so much. But Rex-san’s feelings are comforting. That’s an undeniable fact.
“But I don’t want that kind of worry. It’s more fitting for him to be troubled and flustered.”
Every move I make, he gets flustered, bewildered, and panicked. That’s what I find enjoyable.
“Really, the blackmailer is a nuisance. I just want to trouble Rex-san. I don’t want to hurt him.”
To me, Rex-san’s hurt face isn’t enjoyable. He’s a puppet dancing on the palm of my hand. That’s what suits him. I don’t want to see Rex-san, who’s always getting hurt by others.
So, I’ve decided what to do with the blackmailer. Of course, I’ll send them to hell. The crime of interfering with my pleasure isn’t something that can be atoned for.
“Now, let’s think about how to kill them. Ideally, I’d like to make them suffer as much as possible.”
I’ve heard that being burned to death is one of the most painful ways to die. If that’s the case, I’ll slowly burn the blackmailer and enjoy their suffering.
In any case, I won’t forgive anyone who interferes with my relationship with Rex-san. Not even family. That’s why I want to eliminate the blackmailer as soon as possible.
From now on, I’ll kill anyone who gets in the way of my teasing Rex-san. That’s what will bring me happiness. Rex-san may not like being killed, but he’s adorable. It’s just that hurting others is unbearable.
But because Rex-san is such a kind person, he’s suitable as my toy. There are plenty of bad people who can be swept away.
“I’ll kill the blackmailer and then tease you again, Rex-san.”
I’m looking forward to those days. That’s why I want to kill the blackmailer as soon as possible. But for now, I don’t know who it is.
Probably someone related to the Black family. And someone who’s a nuisance to Rex-san. If I think about it that way, the suspects narrow down. But I still can’t be certain. If I kill all the suspects, the matter will be settled quickly.
However, if I kill a lot of people from the Black family, I’ll be separated from Rex-san. That’s not what I want. So, I need to gather evidence.
“Rex-san, please be troubled by my actions. Please be surprised and worried. That’s all I wish for.”
Rex-san is flustered by my words. As I imagine that scene, I’ll burn the person who attacked me to death.
Wait for me, Rex-san. I’ll trouble you, make you worry, and still lead you to happiness. I, too, care about you deeply. As a childhood friend, I’ll support you.
