The Villain Is A Per Chapter 2

2.

This is because splitting a cookie in half and sharing it is not completely safe. There were countless ways to ingest poison.

‘You’re still young.’

Well, I an, it’s cute. Theodore’s eyes sparkled like stars after taking a bite of the strawberry jam cookie.

“This, this!”

He ate the remaining cookies with an expression of not knowing what to say. If Richt wasn’t in front of , I would have licked up all the cookie crumbs.

“delicious!”

Theodore said in an excited voice.

“This is what sweetness is.”

It is a taste that his mother, the Empress, had forbidden. Theodore’s complexion turned pale when he realized that fact belatedly. I gave in to temptation and ate sothing I shouldn’t have. However, the cookies were so delicious that I was overco with an indescribable feeling.

“I broke my promise to my mother.”

As he spoke in a sullen voice, Richt ca over and wrapped Theodore’s small hand. My small body trembled from the sudden warmth of another person.

“But it was delicious, right?”

“It shouldn’t have been delicious.”

“are you okay. Basically, young children need to eat this and that well. “It is also a child’s privilege to crave sweet snacks.”

“I am not an ordinary child!”

cried Theodore.

“I know.”

Richt rolled his eyes and smiled.

“Aren’t you His Highness the Crown Prince?”

At first glance, he seed to have a bad personality, but when he smiled, the impression changed. Theodore looked at Richt with a blank expression.

The first thing that touched

was my hand. I was listening to Richt talking quietly like that, and when I ca to my senses, I found myself sitting on his lap.

“Is it magic?”

An embarrassed Theodore shouted, shaking his feet. It’s been quite a while since proper magic disappeared, and he’s looking for it. That’s sothing that only cos out of children’s books. After all, he’s still a kid.

“What do you an?”

“, I’m sitting on the ball’s lap.”

Richt’s soft laughter ca from behind.

“no. “It’s been so long since the magic disappeared.”

“Then why am I here?”

“I guess you’re here because it’s comfortable.”

Richt reached out from behind and squeezed Theodore’s small hand. It felt so good that Theodore unconsciously relaxed his body.

“My mother said that too much warmth is unnecessary.”

“It’s not too much warmth, so it’ll be fine.”

“is it?”

Theodore looked curious. Although his opponent was his uncle, whom his mother had told him to be careful of, the warmth of soone he had not seen in a long ti paralyzed his reason.

Even though I knew I shouldn’t do this, I started leaning on Richt.

‘This person is different from my mother.’

Unlike his mother, who cares for Theodore even though she scolds him harshly, he is a person who can kill him.

‘I need to run away.’

My body doesn’t move. The child, who had no one to lean on, was weaker than expected.

“That’s right.”

It was then. The closed door opened and two knights rushed in. One pushed into his body as if he was rolling, and the other ca in as if chasing him.

One was the leader of the Imperial Knights, and the other was Ban, the leader of the Leviathan Knights.

Richt, who discovered him, clicked his tongue quietly without Theodore noticing. He told

to block it well, but it looks like I couldn’t.

“Your Majesty the Crown Prince!”

The commander of the Imperial Knights, covered in wounds, called out to Theodore in a desperate voice.

“Sir Alex.”

Theodore blinked and called the knight’s na. Only then did Alex get his bearings and look at Theodore.

“Your Majesty the Crown Prince?”

Crown Prince Theodore, who had been desperately looking for him, was sitting comfortably on the lap of Richt, a dangerous man. Not only that, he was also holding her hand.

What on earth is going on? Alex swallowed dryly. He closed and opened his eyes just in case, but what he saw didn’t change.

“Well, please co down from there first. “It’s dangerous.”

Alex said in a trembling voice.

“Is it dangerous?”

Theodore turned his head and asked Richt.

“Well, it depends on the perspective of the viewer.”

“Then should I go down?”

“Do whatever is convenient for you.”

Richt then squeezed Theodore’s hand once again.

“Then I will stay like this.”

Theodore confidently presented his claim.

“Your Majesty the Crown Prince?”

Seeing Theodore like that, Alex called him again. And, looking at that, Richt was sarcastic at Alex.

“It seems that the only thing Sir Alex, Commander of the Imperial Knights, can say is His Highness the Crown Prince.”

“It’s not. You can say other things too. yes? Sir Alex?”

“Well, that’s natural.”

“Oh, that’s a good thing.”

Richt held Theodore’s hand and clapped. Although she looks sowhat sensitive, Richt is quite a beauty. Moreover, since he was wearing a cute Theodore, it was a sight that naturally brightened my eyes. However, Alex could not be viewed positively.

“W-what a sha!”

He shouted in a trembling voice and pulled out his sword.

“Please release His Highness the Crown Prince imdiately!”

“There seems to be so misunderstanding, but I am not holding on to His Highness the Crown Prince.”

“right. “It seems Sir Alex misunderstands.”

No matter how long it had been since they t, Theodore got along well with Richt.

‘He wasn’t that kind of person to begin with!’

Alex felt his heart becoming tight. Although he is young, he is cool-headed and wise. So I believed that he would act rationally, but now seeing him attached to Lord Devine, he seed like an ordinary child. Yes. He had forgotten all along, but the Crown Prince Theodore was still a child.

‘I should have done better!’

Suddenly, sporadic problems arose and so of the Imperial Palace Knights were forced to leave. Up to that point, it could be understood as just Lord Devine being grumpy from ti to ti, but the problem was what ca next.

Suddenly the empress died. Although I was originally weak due to a chronic illness, it was a sudden incident. Because of that, so people even whispered that it was poisoning. And if it was poisoning, there was a high possibility that the man right in front of him was the culprit. Alex gritted his teeth.

I had to resolve this situation sohow.

“The deceased Empress is still in the palace. “Don’t you think it’s too much to move like this when you need to express your condolences?”

Richt responded to Alex’s words with a sad expression.

“Of course, I am saddened by your death. But what if you just let it go? “Shouldn’t I move on and take care of my only nephew?”

The way he spoke so smoothly seed to have the tongue of a snake. The way she closed her eyes and smiled was cruel.

“Your Royal Highness can stand alone. Rather, Lord Devine will only be a hindrance.”

“You speak so easily with your mouth open.”

Then, Ban’s sword, who was watching from the side, trembled. The murderous intent he felt next sent goosebumps down Alex’s spine. He is a man of such terrifying ability that it is hard to believe that he was born as a slave. A person like that should have entered the imperial family.

‘No, thinking like that is useless now.’

Currently, Van was Richt’s dog and only faithfully followed his commands. So wouldn’t it be okay to get rid of the owner? Alex clenched his fists without realizing it.

“Hmm.”

Richt, looking at Alex, rested his chin proudly on Theodore’s head.

“Tickle.”

Theodore grumbled, but did not stop him. This may be because we do not yet know the aning of Richt’s actions. Alex relaxed his body again. Now Richt was threatening Alex.

He was confirming that the hostage, Prince Theodore, was in his hands. I knew that Richt had a weak body like his older sister Maia, but that didn’t an he was completely powerless. If so, he would be able to kill the crown prince at any cost.

He could not do sothing dangerous, risking the crown prince’s life.

“Your head isn’t that bad.”

“Lord Devine. Please let His Royal Highness go. “Don’t you know that the future is uncertain anyway?”

Now it seed like Alex was trying to persuade with words.

“The imperial knights will soon return, and this news will also be delivered to Archduke Graham.”

It wasn’t wrong. Richt knew that too. He said that this body he was in was weak, greedy, and stupid. No matter how hard I tried to work my way through it, there were always loopholes.

Even if the Imperial Knights returned, they could be controlled with the life of the Crown Prince, but Archduke Graham, who was called the Slayer, did not know that this was not the case. So he was killed.

Richt was lost in thought, stroking Theodore’s small hand. Although he was assimilated into this body, his original personality remained intact. So he was able to co to a conclusion.

‘Let’s take a look at the situation and jump out.’

Originally, he had no particular greed for power. Even if it were, would it be more important than life? No, unlike Richt, he valued his life more. So let him hang on by being a moderate villain, and when the critical mont cos, let’s play dead and disappear.

‘Then it’s a happy ending.’

After reaching a conclusion, Richt hugged Theodore tightly once again. He had to cling to Theodore until he ran away.

“His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. “Your Majesty’s article really scares .”

Alex, who overheard Richt whispering, made an astonished expression. Theodore also knew it. At first he was taken unawares, but after he cald down a bit, he was able to think rationally.
