Reincarnation: Only I Can Play The Villain

The story of "The Sword Dance of the Elf" seems to be rooted in the "betrayal" four years ago.

Why did Rubia, who had a promising future and was known as the "Elven Princess", betray the Elf King?

This is probably something that everyone cannot figure out.

At this time, Chu Mu and others had an opportunity to question the person involved face to face.

"It's better to give this opportunity to Claire."

Chu Mu did not ask directly, but looked at the girl who was hugging her sister tightly.

"After all, you have been waiting for this day for too long."

"1917

Claire, whose eyes were a little red and swollen, raised her eyes and looked at Rubia.

"Sister, tell us the truth...

"What is the reason that makes you have to betray the 'Fire Elf King'?"

Hearing her sister's question, Rubia sighed softly.

Her lips trembled slightly, as if she recalled something unbearable.

"Even if I said it, you would never believe it."

"If I hadn't witnessed such 'reality' with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that such a thing could exist in this world..."

"Sister, no matter what you say, I am willing to believe you!

"Claire, you..."

Rubia, who was stared at by Claire with sincere eyes, shook her head helplessly.

"That's all."

"Four years ago, the reason why I betrayed the Elf King was because——"

The 'King' has gone crazy. "

As the newly appointed Elf Princess, the young Rubia once firmly believed in everything she had done to serve the Elf King.

All for the prosperity of the empire and the happiness of the people.

The great Elf King will also feel happy because of her service, thus blessing all living beings.

This belief lasted until one day, when it suddenly collapsed.

"Until 'that day'?"

Claire asked in confusion.

Rubia rubbed her brows, trying to suppress the roiling anger in her heart.

"It happened half a year after I became the 'Fire Elf Princess'..."

"At that time, a small town located on the border of the empire was 'erased' from the face of the earth.

Upon hearing this, Claire whispered in surprise.

Linsilei on the side frowned and asked tentatively.

"What you are talking about is Dilus Daxing?"

"That's right."

Disaster Elf Ji nodded in response.

"That destroyed town was indeed called Diyusi'.

"But...I heard that it was not my sister's fault, right?"

Claire murmured to herself, seeming to be excusing her sister.

"I heard at that time that thanks to my sister's sleepless prayers and Kagura dance, the Elf King's anger was calmed down.

"Um...may I interrupt?"

At this moment, Chu Mu interrupted the conversation between several girls.

"Can you explain to me, a person who is inexperienced in world affairs, what a minister of Dijansi is?"

Chu Mu really didn't know anything about this part involving detailed settings.

"Also, after this incident happened, the empire issued a hush-hush order, so it's normal for Chu Mu not to know about it.

Alice, who also came from a noble family, summarized the matter simply and clearly.

In short, it is a small town called "Dilus". Because it offended the Fire Elf King,

So for three days and three nights, a rain of flames fell from the sky, and eventually the entire town was reduced to nothing.

"So...what's the reason?"

Claire whispered with a pale expression.

"To make the Elf King so angry, what serious things did the people in that town do..."

"It's just because... the people in that town offered too few offerings.

Rubia replied calmly.

"That year there was a long drought on the border of the empire, so there was not enough harvest to satisfy the Elf King's sacrifice, so he was angered.

"This, just because of such a trivial matter?!"

This is the first time even Alice and Linsilei have heard of this kind of thing.

"Yes, just because of such trivial matters, the Elf King has been angry countless times."

Rubia said bitterly, with the fire of hatred intertwined in her ruby ​​eyes.

"From that day on, I have questioned the rule of the Elf King."

"One day, I raised my doubts to the Supreme Council and requested an audience with the Elf King."

"Meet the Elf King?!"

Upon hearing this, Fiana exclaimed.

Like Rubia, she is a witch who received training from the Elf Princess at the Divine Ritual Institute.

So she fully understands the meaning of this sentence——

Meeting the Elf King directly and looking directly into the face of the "King" are taboos that must not be broken!

In history, there have been several Elf girls who successfully met the Elf King.

But it is said that none of those people survived and died unexpectedly.

Therefore, this matter has become a taboo matter over time.

"So, my request was strongly rejected, and it also made the Elf King angry."

"Then...the Elf King asked me to offer a tribute as a price to appease his anger."

Having said this, Rubia glanced at her sister, with an expression of gritted teeth on her cold and pretty face.

"offerings?"

Claire was not too surprised,

It is common for high elves to ask for sacrifices and offerings from humans.

For example, Hime Miko often perform Kagura dance instead of offering sacrifices.

The elf envoy can provide "divine power" to the elf in lieu of tribute.

"What the Elf King ordered me to offer is..."

“The ‘Flame of Truth’ of the Elstein family.

Hearing this, everyone present was stunned.

The "flame of truth" of the Elstein family, the true meaning of this sentence.

"No way?! Could it be that...the Elf King wants Claire as a sacrifice?!"

Linsilei was the first to react and asked in disbelief.

What answered her was Rubia's silent silence, which meant that her guess was correct.

"How, how could it be..."

Claire also didn't expect that her sister would face such a choice at that time.

"The 'Elf King' actually wants my life?!"

"B-But this shouldn't be the case, Rubia-senpai!"

Fianna couldn't help but interjected,

Compared with his predecessors who "graduated" from the Divine Ceremony Academy a few years earlier, he raised doubts.

"No matter how much I think about it, the Elf King will never ask for human life as a sacrifice..."

"I know it's hard to believe, but it's true."

Ruby closed her eyes slightly and continued to explain the cause of the matter.

"Later, I offered to replace Claire with myself and prayed to the Elf King to accept such an exchange."

"Because I also have the true spirit of the Elstein family in my body."

"elder sister…………"

Hearing that Rubia wanted to protect herself at the cost of her life.

Claire's eyes were filled with hazy mist again.

However, Rubia's proposal was rejected by the Elf King.

What the Elf King wants is not the "Flame of Truth", but Rubia's "sister"

It just wanted to see the despair and pain caused by its sister being sacrificed.

To make matters worse, Rubia's continuous pushback finally caused the Elf King to become furious.

It issued an edict that if Rubia refused to offer a sacrifice, the capital of the empire would be reduced to ashes...

Just like the original "Loss Robbery".

"how so…………"

"Even if you are the 'Elven King', this kind of behavior is an atrocity that cannot be tolerated by heaven and earth?!"

Fianna slumped on the ground helplessly, feeling that her world view had been completely destroyed.

The Hime Miko who was born in the Divine Ritual Temple has always had serving the Elf King as her highest goal in life.

But now I suddenly learned that what was a lofty ideal was actually helping the evildoers...

This is indeed an unacceptable fact for Fianna.

"So, in despair, I chose 'betrayal'" 1

Rubia's tone gradually became serious.

Even now, several years apart, you can still hear the anger and will in her tone.

"On the day the Elf King announced that he would destroy the imperial capital, I entered the 'main hall' where the Elf King was.

After saying this, Rubia shivered all over as if she had been showered with ice water.

Her body trembled with fear, and her face turned pale as she recalled certain scenes.

After the corridor leading to the "Elf King" hall, she opened the last door.

At the end of the stairs, a huge curtain covers the throne, and above the throne is a

"I witnessed the true appearance of the 'King'..."

The moment Rubia opened her mouth,

A red raging flame suddenly burst out of the void!

"Purgatory Fire... Rubia, what are you doing?

Chu Mu frowned and clenched the "Devil Exorcist Holy Sword" vigilantly.

"I... saw... Gu..."

I saw Rubia curled up on the ground in pain, moaning in pain.

A lot of sweat broke out on her forehead, and bright red blood continued to ooze from all over her body.

The flame was still burning, but it was not under the girl's control.

"Sister...Sister! What's wrong with you?!"

Claire quickly squatted down and tried to help her sister up.

However, the moment he held Rubia's hand, he let out a cry of pain.

"Yeah! So hot!"

Those fine blood drops are as hot as magma, as if they are going to burn through human skin!

As the blood seeped out, the tattoos all over the body of "The Elf of Disaster" also appeared.

These tattoos are just like the "Jio-Inzat" Chu Mu saw that day, covering his whole body.

"Curse Mark?!"

Seeing these densely packed tattoo symbols, Linsilei, who was well-informed, quickly identified them.

"Heh... my time... seems to have come to an end..."

Rubia's face turned pale, and she smiled weakly in Claire's arms.

"Sister! What is going on? How should I save you?!"

"it's useless......"

With a sigh, the red lotus flames born from the void poured down like a waterfall.

"——The fire of purgatory...is coming to claim my life..."

Just when Rubia closed her eyes, preparing to face her death calmly.

A leisurely and familiar male voice came to my ears.

"It seems it's finally my turn to appear."

"'God-killing Flame Levadin', right? Get out of here!"
