The Circumstances of a Trivial Villain (II) (3rd person pov cont.)
Of course, not everything went well.
The arrest of Morriett, the slave black market owner, whom Robert most wanted to capture, was only half-successful.
Ugh Uhh I Im handsome Uh
After the mirror called the origin of black magic was broken, he lost his sanity.
After diagnosing him, the court Wizard shook his head and said:
If not eroded by black magic, he wouldnt be so psychologically dependent. He was so influenced by the black magic that he couldnt come to his senses.
His ultimate goal of somehow capturing Morriett and finding a connection with Prince Carlon had failed.
Robert found and searched all the documents on the black market, but he could not find any traces of Carlon.
The main operators of the slave black market were all engulfed by black magic for a long time, so no one was alive.
In the end, I couldnt find any conclusive evidence.
However, there was an effect that made all the people of the Empire wary.
Oh my God, black magic
After everyone confirmed the slaves who were known only in the black market, the empire fell into a shock.
Most people only heard that such a thing existed, but never imagined that the reality could exist so clearly.
Besides, they never knew the famous general store in the capital had such a big secret.
In particular, many people were astonished when the missing people came out as corpses of slaves.
The frustrations of those who had been searching for their families for years were enormous.
Being secretly kidnapped and used in slave trafficking without a soul would bring the wrath of anyone.
Too many atrocities have been happening behind the Empire in recent years.
Robert made a powerful speech in front of the imperial people, announcing the identity of the black market.
The imperial family or high-ranking aristocrats staying in a safe place are not affected by these backstreet crimes.
While everyone was shocked, the aftermath of the speech was great.
When security becomes unstable because of these vicious groups, the people who get hurt are always ordinary people.
The people of the Empire were greatly moved by him, who overwhelmed the crowd with his sparkling green eyes.
1 now declare a long fight against black magic. I will always do my best for the peace of all the people of the Empire. Please believe me, and
After a short but bold speech, Robert added politely.
I would like to thank Ian Wade and Annabelle Reinfield once again for their unpaid cooperation in this investigation, solely for the sake of justice.
There was no one in the capital that did not know the names of Ian and Annabelle.
That speech, referring to Annabelle, had a very strange effect.
Ian was a very just person, so there were many reactions like, as expected of Ian Wade.
It was not the first time he had acted for the public good, so it was nothing new.
Annabelle? That Annabelle?
She must have changed in search of her biological parents.
No, she was originally from a bad family, the damn Nadit family made her so weird.
Annabelle, who had the worst reputation among the people, began to rise rather high in her fame.
The good deeds she had done shined brighter.
Annabelles reputation suddenly improved, as she included her paternity name, which made the capital uproar.
Of course, that was not what Robert said in return. She was much more diligent in preparing for her needs.
(Annabelles pov)
That night, when I went to the black market to find Reid, I returned not past midnight as promised.
So, following Aarons guidance, we set foot in Rainfields mansion together for the first time.
After confirming that neither Aaron nor I were injured, our mother sighed in relief.
Our father had just woken up, waiting for us with enough food to fill the table.
Aaron was very disappointed to see none of the shrimps on the table.
So while Im selling the finest food to those non-humans My daughterwas eating that meat
My father squealed with every bite I took. You have to get used to it, sister. Aaron smiled and said.
The outside views father as a cold capitalist monster, butin fact, he is very weak.
I see. I did not know.
Mother is very professional, but her personality is a bit arrogant.
I noticed that.
Mother said she was decorating my room while my father was cooking.
She had just filled the widest room among the empty rooms with furniture.
At first glance, it was a very good room that was different from my previous room.
I lost you and I was crazy about money, but thats what its used for.
After the meal, my father said in a voice with regret. Annabelle. My father held my hand tightly and said.
I met you too late, but enjoy everything we have built up so far. We just have to spend as much precious time as we can since we dont know each other.
I nodded my head in awe.
To be honest, it was a little awkward because we became a family without being close, but I thought I could get used to it quickly.
From tomorrow, a new life will begin for all of us. My mother said as she brushed my hair. Sleep well, my daughter. I loved the warmth I felt for the first time in my life, so I had a little trouble sleeping that night. Because I had a feeling that my life was going to change a lot. And that prediction came true.
Days that felt like a dream continued for several days. A lot had changed in the meantime.
Rumors began to spread that I had helped Robert in spite of the thought that I was apologizing for being a daughter who was ashamed of her parents.
So, it was said that I no longer had to listen to the phrase Annabelles crazy about inferiority.
My mother started making my clothes diligently without even taking reservations for the dressing room.
Come on. from here to here again.
Having lived in two gray training suits, I became one of the most dressed people in the capital.
I think we should make another dressing room. I never imagined I would live a life like this. Come on, Annabelle. Eat some more of this. After my father took a vacation from Duke Wade, he fed me every meal he could cook.
This is something you can only eat if you make a reservation two years in advance. Food is very tricky. How do you like it?
Sister, tell me its not delicious.
Aaron, who had just stopped by the restaurant while going out, intervened with a grin.
It was now the familys lunch break, but Aaron had an appointment so he wasnt with us.
Before I go out, I want to see my father weeping for sorrow. Shut up, Aaron. Who the hell do you look like? Although father spoke bluntly, mother grabbed Aarons clothes.
Come on then, go ahead. If you keep your mouth shut, your face will be good enough.
Mother also put down her fork and said seriously.
Are you going now? You know you have to arrive early, right?
Yes. Im going an hour early.
Okay. Buy some flowers and give them as gifts as soon as you meet her. And tell her that you wasted my money, and you cant even see the flowers because shes more beautiful.
Well This time I will follow my fathers advice, mother.: Id rather keep my mouth shut than say something that even dragons wouldnt have said in ancient times.
I swallowed dry saliva by myself while eating the seafood dishes my father made with all his heart and soul.
This was one of the most subtle things that had changed in the last few days.
So Aaron and Cessianne They developed into lovers so easily and quickly.
The two met a few times after the black market situation was over and became lovers, and when our parents found OM) they were almost ecstatic.
Its too good If your sons lover is your familys benefactor.
Out of sheer favor, she helped find her daughter and even saved her sons life.
After noticing that Aaron and Cessianne were getting closer, our parents formally invited her.
Mothers cause was to thank her properly, but she obviously had a different mind, after she had already sent a huge donation to the temple. For example, if she wanted her to be her daughter-in-law
What It was impossible for things to happen like this.
After all, God called me to not let the world flow as the original story did, but there was no need CO stop this development.
Rather, it was a warm welcome CO a new family.
Cessianne was nice and upright, and she had got all the good things in the world.
She was frankly in favor of being my younger brothers mate.
I was worried that he would meet a woman like me, but I was very happy.
Oh, sister.
Aaron looked at me while I was having lunch, as if in a sudden thought before leaving.
Cessianne wanted to see you as well. Lets see what shes, going to say to you later. She feels like she has been given an oracle.
I nodded my head, taking care of my expression, but I thought it was coming.
There are three origins of black magic in all, and I only destroyed one of them.
But it had to be pushed aside from my priorities right now.
These days, I had been immersed in dream-like days and kept procrastinating, but it was because there was a target I couldnt get revenge on yet.
It was Lanella who turned me over to Caitlym, using her friendship at the nursery as a weapon.
