Ian slowly opened his eyes and noticed that he was being carried out of the carriage by Arthur after they reached the mansion. Although they didn't wish to wake him up, the commotion around them were too much for Ian to not notice.
The guards were gasping in shock watching his injuries while he could see the vanishing figure of Rob at the distance, who was probably going to inform the duke about his situation.
'Haah. What a mess.'
"Put me down."
"Young master, you're awake? I apologize."
"No need to apologize. I can walk on my own so put me down."
'Mother's gonna worry more if she sees me getting carried by them.'
Arthur put him down slowly as Corner supported him from the side.
"Art. Bring me the extra cloak from the carriage. Quickly."
Soon Miller and Olivia came running when they heard that Ian was injured. They looked worried and terrified as they scanned Ian. Ian smiled sheepishly when he saw their expre

An Important Villain Someone Like Me
After taking a long and refreshing bath, Ian finally felt alive. He thought about the unknown voice and power but couldn't figure it out. Even someone like him, who knew the ending of the novel had no idea about this strange and overpowering existence. He decided to investigate about it on his own later and stopped thinking about it. 'Can't think since I'm so hungry!' When he came back to his room, a delicious meal was waiting for him inside. Ash was waiting for him since they always ate dinner together. His expression still didn't look good. Ian sat across him and flicked his forehead with his finger. "Ow!" "Why are you making that expression?" "...Are you okay?" "Me? Are you worried about me?" "Mm. It looked like it hurt." "Thanks but it really didn't hurt that much. As I said before, it was just an ugly looking wound." "I don't like getting hurt." "I know. Nobody likes getting hurt. Since I decided to take care of you, I'll make sure you never get hurt. It's a promise." I
An Important Villain Another Added to the Strays
After one and half hours of horseback riding, Kryvo Mountain finally became visible. When they were about 1 km away from the mountain, Ian asked Corner to leave the horse and go by foot from then on. They were inside a forest surrounding the mountain but didn't lose their way due to the bright moon that was guiding them. Corner couldn't contain his curiosity any longer and finally opened his mouth."Um...young master.. Not to be disrespectful but.. are we doing something bad right now?"They were tiptoeing on their feet and approaching the mountain like thieves. That was the only conclusion Corner could come up to."Uhhh...no?"Ian's half-ass reply only made Corner more restless as he kept following them. As they kept approaching the mountain, Corner soon noticed something strange. Halfway up the mountain, he could sense humans inside a cave in the mountain. Although they didn't seem very strong, since they couldn't detect Ian's party coming.<
An Important Villain Act Like a Protagonist!
With Ian's order, they returned to the back gate of the mansion after riding the horse again for some time. When he came down the horse with Ash, he ordered Corner to take the girl to his new house and keep her there with the others."And also, pay attention to the rumors' going around the duchy about me and report to me what you hear. Remember, none of these should reach my father.""I'll do as you say, young master but... Umm...do you really have foresight?""Something like that.""Then... Did you learn about her in the future? How does the future look? Did I retire with all my limbs attached?"Corner, who could no longer suppress his curiosity, asked one question after another as he stared at Ian. Ian sighed as he stared at the middle aged man acting like a kid. He decided to be a little dishonest."Smile. I see lot's of smiles in the future."Corner, whose eyes were sparkling like gems even moments ago, stared blankly
An Important Villain A Spar of Mutual Benefit
Ash, who was watching everything from the sideline noticed Arthur backing away slowly. He turned his head and saw that Ian was deep in thought and unaware."He's running away." Ash said grabbing Ian's shirt from the back as he pointed to Arthur. He was a very sharp kid."Y-you! You idiot! Come here before I drag you myself!" Arthur flinched and stopped moving back when Ian shouted. Ian was also flustered, seeing Arthur trying to run away. At this point, he thought it was his lack of sleep that was making him do this.'But he's the protagonist! And he's so weak! And I'm bored!'Yes. He was bored. One week was his limit. He really wasn't used to lying around and doing nothing all day. When he first came to this world, he thought about rolling around doing nothing all day. But it was impossible for someone like him to do that."Thanks. Now go back under the tree and read your book." Ian said as he patted Ash. He did as he
An Important Villain My Trustworthy Knights
Corner wanted Ian's guidance. And Ian complied with his request.They had quite the spectators by the time Corner started. Many knights approached them to watch their captain's demonstration. Corner's attribute was water, the same water that represented their duchy. Ian was also curious about his combat abilities since Corner couldn't fight properly the last time when the monster's attacked. He had used up most of his mana casting barrier and protecting Ian. Corner pulled out his sword. It was a longsword, different from their wooden swords and had a beautiful glow to it. Ian gauged that it was a pretty expensive one. Soon, the sword sparkled as water covered it's blade. He grabbed the helm with both of his hand and moved. Starting from the basic moves, his sword technique was a combination of thrusting, slicing and cutting the enemy cleanly. It was a sword style made for killing and nothing else. Ian was quite amazed as he watched on with curiousity. The techniques of this world w
An Important Villain A Place for Me
"I'm tired." Ian said as he lay flat on the bed. The ceiling of his room was as shiny as always. "I'm so tired." He said as he rolled around and grabbed a cookie from the bedside table. "I wish I could sleep. Haah." He chewed on the cookie as he sighed. He felt exhausted when he thought about going to the mansion. The kids from the sewer and Arthur's sister were all there. He still hadn't met any of them yet. He didn't want to think about it. It felt like he'd get tangled up in something bothersome. He looked up only to find Ash totally emerged in his book. The boy has been reading all the time ever since he took him to the library. Ian felt his exhaustion double as he looked at him. After spending half an hour successfully mopping in his bed, he finally got up. It was afternoon. He said he'd go to the mansion so he couldn't delay it any longer. After informing his father, he took Ash and two of his knights, which excluded both Corner and Arthur, he left for the mansion. T
An Important Villain Far Away from the Protagonist
"A teleportation circle to your mansion?"Miller looked a bit surprised as he looked at Ian. They were having dinner together when Ian suddenly asked for a teleportation circle to be installed in his room."Yes. Since I plan on visiting there often."Ian replied casually. They looked like father and son but at the same time, not like father and son as well."Sure. That's fine. But since it's a little risky to install it in your bedroom, how about the study?"Miller's point was reasonable. If the other mansion was to ever fall under attack, the attackers can directly invade Ian's room through the portal, putting his life in danger. But what Miller couldn't imagine was that the people Ian had in his mansion was going to have attack powers that'd even surpass a whole duchy's. So there was no way it'd be seized by an enemy."You're right, father. Then we'll do that."But Ian had no intention of telling Miller a
