I Quit Being The Male Lead’s Rival

Chapter 43

The Circumstances of a Trivial Villain (5)

I was stunned once again.

Clearly, in the original, Cessianne continued to join Ian and Robert.

It was because she had to heal them if they were struck by black magic again.

So, of course, I thought we would go in together, but she said goodbye so easily that she was going back.

“Uh… Well… Maybe there is something else you can do to cure black magic?”

As I stuttered as much as I could, Aaron sighed and intervened.

“Sister, if you say that you will be taken care of again as if she were being taken for granted…”

Listening to Aaron, there was plenty of room for that interpretation.

Now, it was as if I grabbed someone who was going to leave and said, ‘follow us and treat us again.’

It was unfair, but I was thinking hard because I didn’t know how to answer.

“It would be an honor for me, but I don’t think I can.”

Cessianne replied in a soft tone.

“I’ve used up all my powers now. For a few days, I also need to take time to pray and recover.”

“Ah…”

I blinked.

She just recently did my paternity test.

Even high-ranking officials were daunted by the enormous amount of trust required to do a paternity test.

Cessianne only had enough of her divine power left to heal Aaron.

As in the original story, the situation was different from when she healed Ian over and over again.

“I have no fighting skills. If I follow you, I will only be a burden, so I will return to the temple immediately.”

Cesianne smiled and greeted us politely once more.

“Then I will support you. See you next time.”

“Yes…”

At Cesianne’s farewell, Aaron replied.

“See you next time, saintess. Thanks.”

“I am just spreading my good beliefs according to fate.”

The saintess, who may have completely changed her original destiny, said proudly.

Then she took a deep breath as she looked at the collapsed manager.

“He already sold his soul to black magic. Unless we get rid of the ‘origin of black magic’, we will have to deal with a lot of people like this.”

“The ‘origin of black magic’?”

Even in the midst of complicated thoughts, I asked while recalling the voice of the god.

It was said that I was the only one in this world who could know the origins of black magic…

“The evil things from the other world are called the ‘origin of black magic,’ and if you destroy it, all the derived black magic will be released.”

The general public did not know it well, but Cesianne seemed to know because she lived in the temple.

“But it can be an ordinary object, an animal, or a plant, so we can’t recognize it. In the end, we have no choice but to fight everyone who sold their souls to black magic.”

In the original, Ian battled all of the managers.

He was so proficient in swordsmanship that he, alone, got rid of all the managers of the slave black market. And in the process, he was occasionally wounded by black magic, so Cesianne had healed him.

“It will be a difficult road, but you will surely succeed.”

Cecianne looked at me and Aaron and said with twinkling eyes.

“I will go back and pray for all of you. Good luck.”

Her strength was exhausted.

Aaron looked into her eyes and greeted her in a playful voice.

“You are a benefactor to our family in many ways, so I hope you give me a chance to repay the favor.”

I had never heard Aaron’s voice so serious before.

‘Well… He is a very good-looking man when he talks like that.’

It was the moment when my younger brother’s decent beauty caught her eyes once again.

Aaron spoke in a soft tone.

“Should I go to the temple? I hope it won’t be a nuisance someday.”

Maybe I was the only one who had a strange hunch at the moment, but Cesianne blushed a little.

“Yes, I’m still single, so I’m staying at the temple. I’m in an apprenticeship now, but I’ll soon become an official adult… In the evening, I think I will be able to go out without any permission. I don’t have a man to meet, so I don’t have a schedule.” (t/n: homegirl dropping hints)

“Just say you want to find Cesianne Relipe at the entrance of the temple.”

“Shall we meet tomorrow?”

Aaron began to speak at an alarming rate.

“I want to talk about what’s going to happen today.”

“Oh… Yes.”

Cesianne kept putting her hair behind her ears, replied hesitantly, and quickly turned around.

“Then, goodbye…”

I had been looking at the back of Cesianne for a while.

The female lead just left without any help in overturning the black magic scene.

She also went back proudly, thinking that she had done everything she could have done.

Of course, it was entirely because of me.

My paternity test and my request to treat Aaron…

In addition, Aaron now made a date request 10 minutes after meeting her while Ian only asked her after an entire year in the original work. (pr/n: Ian slow af😩)

‘I think the original is over.’

And it seemed that Cesianne was going to accept the date request unconditionally.

Of course, a right and honest woman would be the best as my younger brother’s partner.

Although it was never the best for the well-being of this world.

I sighed and kicked the unconscious manager into a corner, and opened the door.

The heavy door slammed behind my back and closed.

This was the real beginning.

A scene that had never been imagined before was spread out in front of me.

It was literally the scene of illegal crimes.

“This is…”

Aaron, who followed me, frowned.

“Don’t show expressions.”

I said quickly, poking Aaron’s side.

“Can’t you see the managers standing here and there?”

Aaron, who had a history of being beaten already once before, quickly shut up.

This was because men in the same suit stood here and there like the manager who was guarding the door.

“But… It’s unpleasant.”

He muttered while controlling his facial expression.

I expected it, but it was more than I imagined.

The interior was so luxurious that it was even more disgusting.

The atmosphere was even cheerful, because it was crowded with people visiting in interest.

“Hello, welcome.”

One manager approached and handed us a pamphlet.

“Take your time and look around slowly.”

Aaron and I opened the pamphlet with trembling hands and read it.

The pamphlet details the characteristics of this place.

“I didn’t expect it to be done so systematically.”

Aaron muttered quietly, grinding his teeth.

I was more worried because as soon as Ian entered here, he would express his displeasure to the point that even though he was wearing a mask, it would show.

He had never done a secret infiltration before, and had lived a life that was enough to live without caring about his facial expressions.

So, even if anyone saw it, it would emit a suspicious energy since he instinctively touched his sword.

‘It’s only natural that I’ve been the only one who’s seen the ugly things in life…’

After discovering that he wasn’t an ordinary guest, he was quietly dragged into a corner by the manager, and he was going to fight and fall into black magic.

But now there was no saintess to heal him.

‘I’m the only one who can stop Ian’s black magic ending.’

I was biting my nails without realizing it, and the door we entered opened again and two men came in.

‘Damn it…’

They were wearing a mask but were recognizable enough.

It was Robert and Ian.

A lot of thoughts came and went in a short amount of time.

‘There is no reason why I should save Ian.’

Even if I pretended not to know, I just received sincere advice from Ian, and I was the only person who didn’t appreciate it.

‘It’s not like we got along well. I came here because of Reid in the first place.’

If Ian got hurt, at best, it would only cause more black magic in the world.

‘I don’t want to get involved with Ian any more.’

I wasn’t a great villain, I was only a trivial villain from the beginning.

‘Still, I can’t become like garbage.’

In the end, I made a great decision.

It wouldn’t be of much help to me, but I couldn’t just watch the ending of Ian getting hurt with black magic.

From the beginning, Ian had to not be found suspicious by the manager.

‘Even if I’m treated as a crazy person, it’ll be okay because I’ve been a crazy person.’

No one could know that I was holy enough to save Ian, but I couldn’t help it.

As soon as I saw Cesianne, I was the one who begged to save Aaron, so I had to take responsibility for it.

‘Hate should be covered with greater hatred.’

Of course I knew what he really hated, and that was me. (pr/n: John cena voice: are you sure about that)

I quickly approached Ian and crossed my arms as soon as his expression was about to turn into a dismal one.

“Honey!”

So the managers would think that his hatred was not because of this slave market, but because of the woman who suddenly jumped on him.

At the same time as I jumped out in an instant, our arms tangled and clumped together, and my body collided smoothly.
