Sowhere, a train car was moving in the snow.
From behind the window of the carriage, a purple-haired girl can be seen staring out of the carriage window in amazent. The girl was seen wearing a traditional outfit called 'Kimono'.
"Snow?"
The girl looked confused by the snow outside the window. The girl's na was Yoon Murasaki, Zend's fiancée.
"Ah, I didn't tell you yet... The Wolfled region has winter all year round."
A man answered the girl's question. The man was wearing the traditional clothing known as 'Hakama'. The man's na was Takahara Murasaki, the father of Yoon Murasaki.
"Honey, you should have told our daughter such an important thing earlier."
A woman scolded the man, the woman was wearing a 'Kimono' as well. The woman's na was Xien Murasaki, Yoon Murasaki's mother and Takahara Murasaki's wife.
"Sorry, sorry..."
"Honey..."
As his parents talked to each other, Yoon looked out the window and daydread a little.
"Is there sothing on your mind, Hi-sama?"
The voice of a woman beside Yoon stopped Yoon's daydreaming. She was Yukiko, Yoon's personal maid.
"Yukiko, didn't I tell you that I'm no longer a princess of a territory."
"No, Hi-sama is still Hi-sama!"
"Whatever... It's just that I wonder if I'll be living in this place in the future?"
"Ah..."
It was a common tradition that if a prospective leader had a fiancé, then the fiancé would live in the prospective leader's house. Whether it is a boy or a girl.
The main problem right now was that Yoon's body was a little weak with the cold. Plus the Wolfled region was famous as one of the most extre regions in the entire world, whether in terms of climate, geographical location or monsters.
"Take it easy, Hi-sama. I'll follow you! We've also bought a lot of clothes to keep us warm!"
"Thank you, Yukiko."
"Eh? Of course! Just leave matters like this to , Hi-sama."
"Lord Takahara, we're almost there."
"Hmm... Everyone, we'll get ready soon... Yoon, are you ready?"
Yoon looked into his father's eyes and nodded his head.
"I'm ready!"
...
After dad's sudden notice, I was forced to cancel many of my plans and prepare for the arrival of my fiancé, no, future fiancé.
It seed like my fiancé's arrival had been planned since my departure, but since back then things happened and I was unconscious for quite a while, unfortunately our eting couldn't be postponed and ended up with what happened today.
"What can I do..."
I stood up from my study table and then stood in front of a mirror.
"...Hmm, I'm so handso..."
Indeed very handso, my current face was scarless and smooth compared to my previous life. Although my eyes were still sharp and felt scary no matter how many tis I looked.
[You've earned the title 'Narcissist'!]
(What?)
"Young master?"
I was unconsciously srized by my own good looks that I didn't realize a maid was watching .
"Ehem..."
(How embarrassing!! Did this maid hear what I said earlier?!)
Just as I was turning red with embarrassnt, a notification sound rang out.
[You Get 10 Villain Points]
"Eh?"
"What's wrong young master?"
(...How much I'm hated actually...)
"No, so why did you co here?"
"Fine! I ca here to inform the young master that Mr. Aamon told the young master to co to his room imdiately."
"You may leave."
"Okay."
Seeing the maid leave, I imdiately changed into formal clothes and tidied myself up then looked back at the mirror.
Just then the door to my room suddenly opened, instantly the cold expression in the mirror turned into a gentle and affectionate expression.
"Sister! Let's play!"
"Hel! The cutest little sister in the world! Let your big brother hug you!"
I imdiately hugged Hel before I even got permission.
"Aha! Ticklish big brother!"
While focusing on hugging Hel and feeling otherworldly happiness with Hel, there was a voice that brought back to reality.
"My son, you didn't forget where you were sent, did you?"
Mom's cold voice imdiately scared .
"Of course not, mom."
"Then let's go to your father's room imdiately."
"Hel's coming too?"
"Of course Hel has to co too! We're going to et Hel's future sister."
"Older sister? Does Hel have an older sister?"
Hel looked confused by the conversation between mom and !
(Hel's face when confused looks cute!!)
"That's not it my daughter, your older brother is eting his fiancée today."
"Fiancé? What's a fiancé?"
"The person you're going to marry?"
"Married? Like mom and dad?"
"Yes, like that."
"No way!"
"Eh?"
"Hel wants to marry Big Brother!"
(...What... Hel...)
"Eh?"
And that's how I died happily...
...
"Greetings, my na is Zend Wolfled."
I bowed my head politely to the group of people in front of .
"Greetings, Nakk Zend. I am Takahara Murasaki, head of the Murasaki family. The woman beside is my wife, Xien Murasaki."
"Greetings, young master."
"Greetings as well, Mrs. Murasaki."
"Then as son Zend has already figured out, the girl in front of young master is my daughter, Yoon Murasaki. And the woman beside my daughter is my personal maid, Yukiko."
"Greetings, young master!"
(What an energetic maid)
"Greetings, young master. I am Yoon Murasaki, your future fiancé."
The purple-haired girl, Yoon Murasaki greeted with dead eyes and a voice that was neither loud nor small.
(What's with the dead eyes? Isn't that too impolite? Even though it's a political wedding, does this girl have to show dead eyes like that?)
Just as I was getting a little annoyed with my fiancé's behavior, my head suddenly beca extrely painful.
...
"No!!!"
Instantly a sound of sothing being cut off rang out from the thousands of cheers.
Then I looked ahead, a head was falling.
"No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no!!!"
...
"What's wrong young master?"
"Are you alright my son?"
"Big brother?"
When I ca to my senses, everyone around looked worried, I looked at the clock in my hand. Only a few seconds had passed.
(What was that? I saw sothing, but why can't I rember what it was?)
"No, it's fine. I was just srized by my fiancée's beauty."
"Ara~"
Everyone looked surprised and happy at the sa ti, while I saw Yoon Murasaki's pupils flutter for a mont.
(Does that girl rarely get complints from n? It looks like I'm engaged to a flower raised in a glass room.)
If I have to choose, I prefer girls raised in the wild. They're already used to the cruelty of the outside world. No, it's probably more accurate to say that the won around have always been like that.
Maybe that's why I'm not used to interacting with people who are used to the cruelty of the outside world rather than people who are naive.
After all, the ages of and that girl are very different, I'm a middle-aged man, while this girl isn't even old enough to be called decent!
I'm not a lolicon!
(Wait... Why do I casually think I'm really going to marry that girl! Rember what you've planned before!)
...
Back to 3 days earlier...
After getting the notice from father, I sat at my study table while looking at the sky thinking about many things.
(If I get married, I won't be able to move freely and I also don't want my fiancé to be dragged into what I'm going to do. I'm not sure about the ti I have anyway.)
(Considering I have to fight The Evil One as soon as possible using forbidden techniques and other instant thods.)
(I don't think my body can last until the age of 30 plus I have a disease that makes my body very weak right now.)
(But if I refuse this engagent, mom and dad will definitely look for a new candidate. For now I will accept this engagent and break off the engagent when the ti cos.)
(If I rember correctly, the Murasaki family suffered a defeat and their town was taken over by another family. If I help them take care of their territory, they shouldn't need our family's help anymore)
(But if I do that, I would be betraying my own family. For Wolfled, betraying one's own family is taboo. But I'm a Villain, doing taboo things is normal.)
(Sorry, father, mother...)
To build that foundation, I had to make my fiancée hate so much that she wanted to break off our engagent.
...
"Ah! How about you two go out for a walk?"
"That's right! Zend, please show your fiancé around~"
(Mom... No, this is a good opportunity...)
"Okay, mom."
I stood up and went out with Yoon.
"..."
"..."
The two of us didn't have any conversation in the hallway.
(Awkward... After all what do you expect a middle-aged man with a communication disorder to talk to a girl...Ugh, my stomach hurts...)
"Young master, where are we going?"
As pathetic as I was, my fiancé was the one who did the talking first.
"We're going to our garden."
(Huft... How could I speak so smoothly when I was so nervous inside? Is this an acting skill?)
[You Get the Acting Master Skill]
(Why did you only get that now?)
I don't know why I'm feeling annoyed with the system these days.
Even after that, we didn't have any conversations. It seems like I'm more suited to be a 'Hikikomori' than a Villain.
After a few minutes, we finally arrived at the Wolfled family garden. It was a beautiful garden with so snow around the garden but thanks to the groundskeeper, the flowers were able to shine even in this all-white scene.
"Beautiful..."
Yoon murmured in amazent as he saw the garden full of flowers.
"Is it so rare? I heard Xian is a city with beautiful flowers?"
"Yes, Xian city has many beautiful flowers but sohow the flowers here look more radiant."
"That's probably because the flowers that grow here are hardy, they survive even in the middle of winter all year round without stopping."
I squatted down and looked at one of the flowers in front of , the na of the flower was Flerin. It has several anings but the deepest aning is 'Always Together', at least that's what I heard from 'She'.
(I once gave this to 'She' but in the end 'She' left before .)
"..."
Yoon suddenly fell silent, so I looked at her and for so reason her ears and nose turned slightly red.
(Is this girl weak to cold?)
I picked the flowers beside Flerin and then approached Yoon. I took off my robe and put it on Yoon.
I then started talking while holding that flower.
"You see, this flower is called the Dores flower. There are many anings in this flower but one of them is 'farewell."
"Eh?"
"Yoon Murasaki, I hope we will never get married."
