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

59 New Power

For now, we’ve found a way to awaken Ster to magic. This is good news. Just in case, I’ll ask Phillis about the detailed conditions. Then, she explained the procedure.

First, I need to infuse my magical power with a single attribute. Using dark magic’s infiltration, I’ll take in the power and then send it to the target. That way, even those without magical power can use magic.

In other words, Ster will be able to use magic too. If I hear more about it, it seems it’s possible to increase attributes as well. Well, for now, let’s focus on Ster.

The acquaintances with strong single attribute magical power are Felicia and Camilla. Camilla is attending Astral Academy, so it’s difficult to meet up with her. In reality, there’s only one person I can rely on.

“I should prepare a gift for Felicia, don’t you think?”

In other words, if I’m going to ask for a favor, I need to offer compensation. I should give Phillis and Elina rewards for their help as well. Well, Phillis will just tell me what she wants.

The problem is what to offer as compensation. Felicia doesn’t need money, so…

“Then, what can I prepare? A magic-infused tool, perhaps?”

I can’t think of anything else, so I’ll act quickly. I once gave Phillis a magic-infused staff. This time, I’ll make something even better. What I came up with is a magic tool that uses my magic.

The starting point is the Black Bullet I gave to Wes. That was a tool that utilized my magical power for attacks. If I apply that, it shouldn’t be difficult to realize.

Before, I gave Felicia a staff adjusted to her magical power. I’ll use that for security as well. If it’s stolen, it would be a disaster. I know my magic is powerful.

So, I’ll create a magic tool in the shape of a necklace. If I send my magical power to Felicia, she can activate my magic.

“Yes, this is good. If she can use dark attire (Gratinee Wear) just by wearing it, it’s not bad.”

Considering its performance, it’s quite something. If I apply this, I might be able to suppress the situation where others become hostages. I’ve created something good.

Now that I’ve prepared everything, I’ll head to Felicia’s place.

“Felicia, can you please infuse your magical power into me with all your might? The compensation is this.”

“Ah, a necklace? You want to dye me in your color?”

Felicia approached me with a cheerful face as usual. However, it’s not good to get too close to her. Her character might break, and it would be troublesome if she gets emotional.

“No, use this, and you can use the magic I’ve infused.”

“Not bad. Then, I’ll give it my all.”

As she said, Felicia sent me a massive amount of magical power. It was so dense that if I didn’t focus, I would lose control. If I were to infuse all of this magic, it would be enough to destroy a house and leave nothing behind.

If I were to make a mistake, I might even be able to flatten a small school. She truly has incredible talent. And yet, it’s not even in the original story.

“This is quite a power, Felicia. With this, I won’t be able to hold back anymore.”

“By the way, do you plan on making me help you seduce other girls? I think you’re not aware of it, but…”

It’s true that I’m moving for the sake of another girl, so it’s hard to respond. The only thing I can do is not to flinch. I need to keep my cool.

“What are you talking about?”

“This necklace, are you planning to give it to someone else? I know. The one you’re thinking of is right here…”

As she said that, she looked down, her face filled with sadness. I felt anxious, not wanting to hurt Felicia.

However, it’s difficult to say something kind. There’s a problem with her character, and I can’t think of a good phrase to use. What can I say in this situation? Not saying anything is also bad. I need to somehow come up with the right words.

“Don’t make a sad face. You’re the type who looks good when you’re smiling.”

Felicia burst out laughing at my words. She kept laughing, and I understood that she was teasing me. I wanted to return her serious, anxious feelings.

“Haha, your anxious face was amusing. You’re even trying to comfort me. I can laugh.”

“Felicia… you…”

“Then, I’ll take my leave. Please give my regards to Shuter-san.”

With that, she elegantly walked away. It seems she was aware of everything, including Shuter.

“Completely in the palm of my hand. This is amusing. But it’s also proof that she’s willing to cooperate with me. Let’s head to Shuter’s place right away.”

So, I went to look for Shuter. She was training at the school, and there were other people around. I called out to her and Milra, who was also there.

“Lord Rex, do you need something?”

“Shuter, and… Milra. You come too.”

I thought it would be better to have Milra there, as it would make the conversation smoother. If Shuter were to awaken to magic, she might notice its abnormality. After all, she’s a top student at the highest academic institution.

“I understand, Lord Rex. I’ll follow you.”

“Yes, please do.”

We headed to a deserted area. I prepared my magic to transplant it to Shuter. Before that, I needed to check if Shuter truly didn’t have any magic.

“Shuter, first, try receiving my magic.”

“Of course, Lord Rex.”

I used my dark magic to examine Shuter, but I couldn’t feel any magic. In other words, it was unlikely that she would awaken to magic in her current state.

“I see. Let’s try again, Shuter.”

“Yes, as you wish.”

This time was the real deal. I would use the magic Felicia gave me to transplant it to Shuter through my own magic. The procedure was quick, and when I examined her, there were no unusual abnormalities in her body.

“Try meditating and see if you feel anything.”

“I can feel it, I can feel it…! This is magic! Thank you, Lord Rex!”

She was clearly excited. Well, that’s natural. Until now, she couldn’t use magic, so it’s likely that she had a complex about it.

“By the way, Milra, what about you? You might be able to use magic too if you prepare yourself.”

“No, I decline. It’s known that I can’t use magic, so if I suddenly awaken to it, it would cause trouble.”

I was thinking the same thing. If I were to awaken to magic, it would be known, and many people who can’t use magic would come to me.

Milra, who was considerate of this, is indeed a reliable person. If the school settles down, I’d like to give her more important tasks. She’ll surely become a trustworthy right-hand man.

“You said it well. You’ll continue to serve me well from now on.”

“Of course, I will do so. Everything is as Lord Rex wishes.”

“I will also do my best for Lord Rex! With the power you have given me!”

Stell was beaming with a bright smile. Just seeing her made me want to smile too. Well, I was trying to maintain my character, but…

“I’ll be counting on you from now on, Stell. I’ll definitely make you all happy.”
