I Am Obsessed with the Cursed Villain

Episode 1: Dangerous uninvited guests in the Magician's Tower

"How does it feel to be trapped in the tower today?"

I ignored the voice beside me and fixed my gaze out the window. The sharp protruding black iron bars were dark and dreary as usual.

I was worried that even a ghost would pop out. It showed that he had no intention of allowing outsiders to enter, nor did he want it.

'This is why it is said that only eccentric and strange wizards like in the Magician's Tower.'

Isn't this a bit of a generalization?

It's a prejudice that all the wizards in the Tower are eccentric, dirty-tempered and weird!

I shook my head, dragging my tongue inwardly.

The biggest irony was that I, too, was trapped in this dreary tower.

No, not exactly....

"Are you listening to me, Eunice? If you don't answer me this time, I will cry."

The irony was that this man was the master of the gloomy and terrifying tower.

I reluctantly turned over my head, and through my round glasses, a cynical face was looking at me with eyes filled with water.

"A crying man is unattractive."

"I told you that it wouldn't be nice to be handsome, disciple."

....I have nothing to say when he said that.

When I closed my mouth, he smiled lightly with watery eyes.

'....Ha. I'm going crazy.'

If he was smiling with an expression that was about to fall into tears, he should look weird. But even he looked so pretty because his face was handsome.

"Have you seen a guy crying as pretty as me? Eunice?"

This man was Theodore, the owner of this great pagoda and my teacher. His nickname was 'Teddy,' a name that seemed to be a good fit.

Theodore couldn't stand the stillness of the tower today and had been squirming by my side since morning.

"I'm confident that even if I've seen another man's face, I won't be able to find one."

"Nope. I think I'll be seeing one in no time...."

I shook my head and denied it. Theodore's words and ego sparkled and shone.

"What, Eunice? You want to be harnessed all day today?"

".....No. You're handsome."

Even today, as I bowed down to power, I held back tears and spat these words that were not from my heart.

Theodore smiled softly.

"But you know that was a really brazen statement, Theodore?"

How come he says he's handsome without blinking an eye?

'I'm even angrier that I can't refute that it's not.'

"What, no! So did you. If it wasn't for my eccentric personality, I would be popular with women."

"That's when I didn't know what kind of person Theodore was."

I shook my head in disbelief at the thought of it again. The man I thought was a wonderful warrior who save me.......

"Yes? So let's get it right today, shall we?"

"......If you're still going to exploit my magic today, I'll run away right now."

"Hey, you can't. I scouted you!"

"Look at this, now you come and show your true colors!"

...I didn't expect him to be an evil demon lord who targeted my magic!

My promise to live peacefully was actually a bait for an evil owner looking for prey.

Theodore shrugged his shoulder casually, then suddenly hardened his expression and shoved his face in front of me. The corner of his eye, which normally curves playfully, stood sharp, giving him an unmatched cynicism.

"But I'm curious."

"....?"

"You're hoping for the outside world."

"....."

"Why don't you get out of the tower?"

Theodore asked, getting serious for the first time after a long time. I shut up for a moment.

Why?

Because.....

'If I get out of here, I might die at the hands of the mad dog sub-male lead.'

That was the fate of Eunice Servita, the supporting character in this novel.

Theodore, who didn't know what I was thinking inside, looked meaningful and demanded an answer from me. I let out a low sigh.

'If I said this was the world of fiction, would you believe it?'

Simply put, I was driven into a novel. It's also the novel I was completely obsessed with last night in my real world. The content of the original story was roughly like this:

The heroine, Rose Richetta, and the sub-male lead turned villain, Ethan Clovis has been close childhood friends ever since.

'Is there love between friends?'

Unlike Ethan's deep feelings for Rose, she only viewed him as a friend. Later, even after Rose fell in love with the male protagonist, Prince Julius Reinhardt, he was still by her side as a friend.

But there were two problems here.

One is that our sub-male lead was a crazy dog who didn't miss a bite.

And another thing......That it was none other than Eunice Servita who introduced Julius to Rose.

Anyways, Ethan neatly kills Eunice.

'Crazy to think about it again.'

Upon learning it, Rose learns his true feelings and wins love, which is the ending of the novel.

In other words, I've sprinkled delicious seasonings on the main lead's love.

'Nope! It awakens the heroine's feelings, why are you killing the supporting actress? Did you ask the supporting cast for their opinion?!'

I was about to mourn in the face of a miserable fate but I didn't have time for this.

'My name is Theodore. The owner of the continent's only tower, a wizard possessed by your magic.'

'Think about it, Lady Servita. Isn't your magic too much to pour out in vain on Rose Richetta?'

Maybe I hadn't remembered.

Instead of accepting and grieving my miserable fate, decided to move one step ahead of the original.

'...So? Are you saying that the Lord of the Tower will use my magic for nothing?'

'You understand quickly, Lady Servita. Let me be blunt.'

'....'

'Come to me, with the name of the Master of the magician's tower, I will make you the best wizard in the tower.

Now that I think about it, it seems to have been typical of a scammer. The position of 'best' was not so easily earned, and the bait did not stir my heart.

'I don't need to be the best mage in the tower. All I need is the tower itself.'

'Hmmm. Tell me what you want.'

And yet, the reason why I am now in the hands of this lord Theodore....

'Please accept me as a disciple.'

....This was the only way to avoid the fate in the original.

The Magician's Tower was a place that even the emperor of the empire could not enter unless the lord gave permission. In addition, the current owner had an eccentric personality and he said that even a human shadow could not enter.

In other words, it was the only space where she could escape from the whirlpool of the original.

'I want to get in the Tower. Take me.'

In the end, I ran away from my destined fate before I could even think about confronting it.

'I'm never going to go outside the tower until the original is finished.'

That was two years ago.

Since then, I had locked myself in the tower and to this day, my daily life was very peaceful.

No matter how desperate I was to escape the fate of the original, I was able to fight back against that story. I said the wrong thing at the time and then I became Theodore's toy, and I'm suffering like this.

I shook my head, and Theodore, who was standing in front of me, reacted quickly.

'From the look on his face, I think he's cursing at me again.'

".....!"

I didn't bother to answer Theodore's grumbling but instead set my gaze through the window. Then Theodore, who came to my side, did not give up and spoke.

'When you look like that, it's as if I've become a naught unscrupulous person who locked a pretty princess in the tower."

"So, no?"

"Actually, that's true."

'Look at it, I'd known him since he exploited my magic every day. ;

Just as I was thinking about how shallow Theodore's gaze was today, a deep smile appeared on his face.

I got a chill running down my spine when Theodore makes that look.

"What a sad thing to say. I just brought a present for the lonely wizard of the Magician's tower."

"A gift?"

At the word gift, I instinctively step back from Theodore.
