Erotic RPG: I am in the Game world, But My Heroines are Villainesses

Metamorphosis magic.

It is magic that is used by the water-attributed people.

It can change the user's body according to their wishes with enough mastery. With the changes made under the skin, user can change their face, their body type, and other things.

Albeit different from my disguise skill, which only messes with how others perceive me.

However, metamorphosis magic is a lot more effective because, once you change your face, you directly apply it to your body without needing a constant supply of mana. Therefore, it is a lot harder to notice that something is wrong with the person using metamorphosis.

Now, since I have constantly been using my [All Seeing Eye] on different targets to increase its mastery, I have already memorized the names, attributes, and ranks of all maids in the mansion.

Name – Maya Hines

Age – 27

Class – Rogue

Mage Rank – 4-star

Knight Rank – 0-star

Attributes – Water Magic

So, while inspecting the status window of this maid, her class with her attribute caught my attention. You see, when you get a class, your magic and your core will develop according to it. Therefore, seeing her attribute was water and her class was rogue, I was able to infer something common.

'This girl is not a maid. She is a hired professional.'

Since this maid had just been employed a month ago, she should have had deficit movements while dealing with the chores, but she never did. Her attribute and her class, coupled with the change in Adelyn and Emma's little gestures, made me think that way.

In the game, there was a villain who mastered the metamorphosis magic. She, too, had water affinity and rogue class and didn't have a huge combat power, but she was annoying to deal with because she would always escape while changing her face and mixing in crowds.

However, as a player, we would discover that the metamorphosis magic was weak to the Quintessence of Golden Root with the help of a side character from the academy. This method is not commonly known because Golden Root is a plant vegetating in the South of the world.

Since I had been expecting such a thing to happen at the banquet, the only things left for me were to set up the stage and lead the play.

After ordering two materials I needed for the stage, I was already ready for the play to unfold.

***

Looking at the dead body of the 'maid' lying on the ground, the atmosphere got quiet.

A dead silence lingered around the banquet hall, with shocked expressions from bystanders and slightly irritated expressions on the face of Adelyn, Alicia, Emma, and Clayton.

/CLAP/ /CLAP/ /CLAP/

"Now, now, now. Everyone who watched the scene. Do you still believe I did such a thing?"

Clapping my hands while shouting, I gathered everyone's attention on me.

"This liquid I am holding in my hand. All of you are familiar with it. It is the Holy Water of Order, used for the interrogations by the Church, who just now tried to frame me."

Swinging the bottle in front of everyone, I kept my talk.

"If there is anyone who still doesn't believe, let's ask this to the Paladins of Church, shall we?"

Turning my head to the paladin holding my arm. From the look on his face, it seems he was tricked as well.

"This… It is the original Holy Water of Order."

Leaving my arms free, the knight bowed his head to me, saying,

"I am sorry for my misjudgment, Young Ma-"

"I am no longer a young master, don't call me like that anymore."

"Yes. I am sorry for my misjudgment, Sir Callius. I shall investigate this matter and take everything into my own hands. I, the leader of the Paladins of Celestia Church, acknowledge that I was mistaken. So, I shall reveal the truth with my own hands in the name of the Holy Mother."

With a loud voice, the paladin said.

"I declare that commoner Callius is acquitted from all the accusations and freed from the charges against him."

/TOK/ /TOK/ /TOK/

And just like that, the paladins left the banquet hall, making another lingering silence appear.

"Just what happened?"

"The leader of paladins acknowledged his mistake and left?"

"Now, what will happen to Young Master Callius?"

Between all those rumors, with a smirk on my face, I turned my head to Adelyn.

"Now, shouldn't I leave since I no longer have the right to be in this place, ~Duchess Adelyn?"

Just like that, I left the banquet hall between all those people, not caring about anything else.

'Thank you for finally freeing me from the shackles of the past. Now, I can finally behave normally.'

I thought, remembering a conversation I had with the system.

'System, does my initial trait has some conditions like my trait [Duelist] as well?'

<Your trait, [Noblesse], will be deactivated if you lose your status as a noble host.>

The power of rumors and reputation is a lot stronger than you think.

A person can have the strength of an 8-star and can be a duke. However, if there was no trust between the vassals and a noble, that territory was bound to decline. If brute force was everything, then barbarians' kingdom would be the strongest in the world.

And what will common people think about such a situation happening? What will nobles from another kingdom think when the news of this even spreads in their circles?

The dukedom will lose the trust it has built, Adelyn will face loss, Alicia will face some rumors, and others will be affected as well; although, of course, it won't be too severe, it will still damage their reputation.

However, most importantly, I will no longer need to see the faces of such hypocrites.

This is the moment now I can finally see severe my ties with this family.

With those thoughts in my head, I reached my home.

'Right now, Adelyn and others are all in a state of shock, and they will waste their time managing the questions coming from all the nobles who had already sniffed the opportunity of grabbing something from the Dukedom.

Therefore now was the best time for me to disappear from the house, which was something I had been planning for a long time.

Entering my room, I first changed my clothes to normal and more comfortable ones, albeit if one looked closer, it could still be understood that they were of high quality.

Grabbing the spatial bag I had already prepared beforehand, I started checking the things inside.

'Now, everything is ready. Then there is nothing holding me anymore.'

Grabbing my bag, I left my room and started walking to the stables behind the mansion.

While I was walking, I could see the slightly surprised faces of the workers. The appearance of Paladins, the sounds coming from the banquet hall, and now me not being in the banquet hall should have shaken them slightly, albeit it doesn't matter what they think.

Walking to the stables, I saw a horse with pure black color and grey eyes.

'There you are, my Night.'

With that thought in my head, I approached the familiar-looking horse.

'Night,' the only horse I have ridden in my life.

"It has been such a long time, isn't it? Did you miss me?"

Extending my hand while caressing the head of Night, I remembered those horse-riding sessions I had with the instructor in this dukedom.

"Now, we don't have much time. Let's leave this place, right?"

Slowly untying the knot holding the Night, I said.

"Callius."

However, before I could ever leave, I heard a sound of a familiar girl.

"Alicia."

Turning my head towards my back, I said.

"I knew you would come here."

"….. So, why are you here, then?"

"You are no longer the Callius I know. You have changed."

"You have never been the Alicia, I thought. And you never changed."

Looking at her snake-like eyes, I said, finally giving up on the act.

"Did you know everything?"

"I did."

"From when?"

"From the moment Father left this world in front of my eyes."

"Heh, so you are saying Sir Austin's death opened your eyes."

"It did."

"And you expect me to believe that."

"Believe whatever you want; I don't care about what you think."

"Hehehehe. It is funny to see that the little dog who craved my attention is now saying those things in front of me."

"Now, now. You must be fuming inside now that public opinion about you is worse."

"Callius, do you think such a little thing will stop me? Managing little doggies is my specialty, remember?"

"Of course, like that little doggy called Arthur, right?"

"Hoh, so you know that too. Did you feel pathetic then?"

"Feel pathetic? Why? Because I managed to get rid of the little parasite plaguing me?"

"So, you don't feel anything for me anymore, then."

"No, there is one thing that remains."

"What is it?"

"The feeling of wanting to crush you and that proud group of yours."

"Is that so? I will look forward to it, then. Won't it be entertaining to see the little doggy I played with will be trying to bite my hand?"

"Yes, you should."

"A farewell, then?"

"We will meet sooner than you think."

Saying that, I hopped on top of my horse, grabbed its handles, and we started speeding up.

Just like that, I left the mansion, heading towards my new direction, feeling the wind and freedom I now had.

Now, this chapter marks the end of this volume. To be honest, I was a bit lost at some points, so the pace was slow, and there were a lot of mistakes with my writing. However, next volume, with the appearance of dungeons and other elements worldwide, I plan to pick up the pace. Thank you for supporting me so far.
