I Became the Villain of a Romance Fantasy

50 – Morning Star (2)

★

Estelia Academy is largely divided into two colleges.

Faculty of Knights and Faculty of Magic.

It was natural for the two to separate from each other, as they both pursued the same goal of transcendence, but walked the incompatible paths of magic and martial arts.

However, it was not unusual for teeth from other departments to appear in other colleges. In order to carry out joint assignments between faculties or assignments from the academy, there were many things that students from different faculties had to gather together, even if they belonged to different places.

But now, when a student from the Faculty of Magic entered the building of the Faculty of Knights, all the students from the Faculty of Knights focused on it.

Snow-white hair and transparent purple eyes resembling amethyst.

Currently, there is only one person in Estelia Academy who has this appearance. A famous magician who stands on par with Erthuwen in the empire. There was no one here who did not know the characteristics of the Edelweiss duchy’s blood relatives.

Elena Edelweiss. The girl with that name was walking around the building of the Faculty of Engineers, leaving countless stares at her behind.

It’s not unusual for a student from the Faculty of Magic to come here, but that wasn’t the case. They were curious about Elena, why did she drop into the Knights Faculty?

But she had no obligation to satisfy their curiosity. Elena turned her head to look for the one person who might be here right now, not taking a glance at the gazes directed at her.

‘Did something happen?’

Seeing him nowhere to be seen no matter how much she looked for it, Elena began to worry.

You might be wondering if anything happened at the academy besides being caught by the professor, but Elena and Damian she was looking for were after fighting a fierce battle with the cultists hiding here until just a few days ago.

So it was unavoidable that there was a growing sense of vigilance.

I waited at the place where I always met, but he didn’t show up even after a few minutes.

If he couldn’t go, it was Damian who contacted him in advance saying he couldn’t go, so he had a good reason for thinking that something might have happened to him who didn’t show up without saying anything.

Could it be that he might have been attacked by the cultists like before?

‘No, it’s not possible, but…’

Elena immediately shook her head to deny the assumption.

The surroundings were too quiet for me to think so. Obviously, if he was the one she knew, he would have somehow made a fuss around him to inform them of the incident that had happened to him. Even if there is a variable, Damian cannot move alone as much as he promised to move together in advance.

So it was very likely that he could not come because of a very personal matter.

“Um, by any chance, a freshman in the Faculty of Engineering. Do you know where Damian Krause is?”

In the end, Elena caught one of the engineering students passing by and asked him a question. The student who suddenly received her question seemed embarrassed, but was able to answer her question.

“Damian…? Ah. Damian Krause. He was on his way to the main building garden with Prince Orcus earlier. But, in case something happened…”

“Okay. Thanks for the answer.”

After hearing the answer, Elena left the student who was talking to her and immediately started running toward the garden of the main building where he was.

The answer came from the student’s answer just before.

But even so, Elena still didn’t stop looking for Damian. It was true that it started out of concern at first, but even though she knew she didn’t have to look for it, she was still walking toward where Damian was.

In fact, Elena herself was well aware of it.

He kept telling himself that he came looking for him because he was worried, but that wasn’t the case.

The emotion Elena was feeling right now was a sense of deprivation. Feeling like someone has stolen something from you.

It sounds funny.

The promise I made with Damian was a promise that could be canceled at any time if the time wasn’t right. In other words, it is a formal and daily meeting where you do not necessarily meet and do something, but just report on the situation on a regular basis.

But even so, Elena knew very well that there was no lie in the feelings she was feeling right now. I can’t help but feel that what should have been him and his time was taken away.

Perhaps because the opponent is Orcus, he reacts so sensitively.

He was also in the Faculty of Magic, so the fact that he came to find Damian on purpose gave some idea of what Orcus would talk about with him.

how did this happen…

Elena asked herself questions throughout the run.

Originally, I wouldn’t have done this. There were frequent cases where the meeting could not be concluded due to circumstances that were unavoidable to each other. It wasn’t something that would cause such a reaction.

But after Damian danced with Noel at the ball, things started to change. From that day on, I think I became obsessed with the time I was alone with him.

It was the same place, the same action, the same time as before, but it all felt different. I didn’t want to miss a single moment and I didn’t want to give it to someone else.

Although I had already turned back time once, I had never felt this emotion in my previous life. That’s why Elena knew that this unknown strange feeling was the cause, but that’s why she couldn’t give a clear answer on what to do.

When I came out of the building, I immediately saw the two of them standing in a flower garden. Standing next to Damian, Orcus’ radiant blonde hair glistening in sunlight could be seen from a distance.

When Damian came into sight, Elena caught her breath and slowly approached the place where they were standing.

“therefore…”

As the distance gets closer and closer, the conversation between the two begins to be heard little by little. Even without magic to increase her hearing, Orcus’ voice talking to Damian was enough to reach her ears.

However, because of that, Elena had no choice but to stop walking towards them.

“So now you are Princess Elena. You mean you have nothing to do with her?”

Upon hearing Orcus’ words, Elena felt as if a sharp dagger had stabbed her in the chest. The fate he changed for the first time after returning. But who would have known that it would be the thing I most wanted back now.

At that time, there was a reason, and she wanted to refute Orcus’ words right away, but the fact that she couldn’t answer hurt Elena’s heart even more.

But the most painful fact was that Damian was not denying what Orcus was saying. Orcus’ continued words drive a wedge into Elena’s mind, which has already been messed up.

“Then Damian, it’s a bit much to ask that question and say that, but how about getting engaged to Noel?”

Upon hearing the words that came out of Orcus’ mouth, Elena ran away as if she were running away without listening to what was said behind her back. I closed my eyes and covered my ears. I ran away to a world where I couldn’t see or hear anything.

I didn’t wonder what he was replying to Orcus’s words.

No, I didn’t want to hear it.

***

“It’s old, isn’t it? Princess Elena.”

Orcus’ golden hair glistens in the warm sunlight.

it’s spherical Considering the meeting before the regression, the sphere is certainly correct. But he wasn’t going to talk about it, so what he’s saying is probably talking about the meeting before I came to the Krause family.

It was a memory from a long time ago, but unlike other memories, it hadn’t faded at all. How can I forget this This memory, which is different from the first turning point in my life, was like a jewel that never changes.

Hailey seemed frozen in place at the sudden appearance of Orcus and didn’t even think to respond. Hey, until just now, I had been calming myself down as if I was going to fall asleep, but the prince suddenly appeared in front of my eyes, so it was good that I did not collapse backwards.

I stood in front of Haley, shielded her from Orcus’s view, and carefully greeted her.

“Meet the Sun of the Empire. It is an honor to have not forgotten the meeting with the original woman.”

Orcus frowned, as if my answer seemed odd. There must be nothing wrong with etiquette, but why is he reacting like that?

He must have noticed the change in his face, so he quickly responded with a smile as if nothing had happened.

“hahahaha. I’m sorry about this. The sunlight is too strong.”

So let’s pretend nothing happened before. said Orcus. After all, there was no way he wouldn’t have noticed the frown I had just looked at his face.

I also responded to his words with a light smile.

“Come to think of it, I should have said congratulations first. Congratulations on your engagement. Princess Elena. Even though it’s not a blessing from Obama, I will bless you all with happiness in the future.”

The light from Orcus’s hand soon spreads into powder on the top of the hallway. It was definitely a pleasant thing to see the warmth of the warm sun permeate the whole body, but was it because of the divinity of a foreign god or because Orcus was the subject of the blessing? Even though he was obviously a mighty divinity, he didn’t feel as good as when he had been blessed before.

I smiled and thanked him for his kindness.

“I can’t believe it. Thank you for your congratulations.”

Then his face contorts again.

It seems like I do that every time I laugh. Is this an illusion? Orcus looked at the window and answered with a slightly embarrassed expression, as if he was not aware of that fact.

“Um… Really, the sun is dazzling today…’

A person with the divinity of the sun blames the sun. There really was no excuse as poor as this.

Orcus clears his throat as if trying to change the subject. Turning his head back to me, he spoke with a very serious expression unlike before.

“By the way, the fact that you’re here means that Prince Damian is also here, right? Do you know where he is?”

Unlike when I was talking with me earlier, Orcus’ face seemed to have a slight shadow as he asked where he was. He seemed to know what it was about even if he didn’t say it out loud.

I shook my head in response to his question.

“I’m sorry. I don’t know where he went either.”

It’s not impossible to guess where he might be, but it’s also true that he only knew that he went looking for Alphonse, so it wasn’t wrong.

When I answered that, Orcus looked troubled and muttered, ‘This is what happened…’, greeted me to meet again, and disappeared in front of my eyes again.

As he disappeared, I spoke to Hailey, now somewhat awake.

“Haley. Would you like to go to your room first? I’ll stop by for a while and then come back.”

“Yes? Miss, where are you going?”

“gymnasium.”

After saying that, I immediately walked out of the castle. The foot going there was not heavy. Rather, it is light, as if cast a spell.

It seems that reunion with old friends will come sooner than expected.
