Ian always looked forward to Arthur's every move with great anticipation. Although he had already read and re-read the novel a couple of times already, seeing everything in real life was a completely different thing.
When Arthur asked for permission to go interrogate the prisoner, Ian already knew what he was planning.
Since the prisoner hadn't opened his mouth to reveal anything about his organisation yet, Arthur decided that he had to take action and take things on his own hand, since, naturally, he was the protagonist.
When Ian acted as a prophet, he had already told Arthur and Albert many important information about their enemy, including many of their weaknesses.
But Ian also knew that with only the two of them, they weren't going to be able to do much with those information.
As he was giving them those informations in secret as Noah, he also be

An Important Villain An Awkward Encounter
Deep into the night. Ian woke up from his sleep. He looked to the left where Ash was sleeping soundly. To his right, the maze was also asleep. Looking at the maze, events from a few hours ago came to his mind naturally. "A name?" Ian placed the food in his hand down and looked at the millennium old kid beside him. "Yes. I heard that it was you who gave Ash his name. I also want one." "Hmm.. That's true. I can't keep calling you the maze forever." Ian agreed with his request and asked for some time to think of a name for him. Ian stopped thinking about it for now and decided to focus on getting out of the duchy quietly. He was going to use the teleportation portal in his study since that way, he won't need to avoid the guards or sneak out like a thief. He got up from the bed, cha
An Important Villain Don't Break Your Promise!
As Ian wandered outside the late Empress's palace, he was searching for a particular mark in the palace walls.'I've already searched this area twice already. Where the hell is it?!'Ian threw the stick in his hand towards the wall in frustration. But regretted his actions instantly.This whole palace was a grave. It was the grave of the late Empress. Although Ian had no memory or connection with her, he at least had the basic human decency to not disturb the resting place of a dead person.'I'll just do one more round and- hm? What's that?'As Ian was picking up the stick, he found a small cross mark on the bottom of the wall. If it weren't for someone crouching down to carefully search that place, the mark would probably go unnoticed forever."Lucky~"Ian grabbed the wall and jumped to the other side of it, entering th
An Important Villain The Royal Palace
"Young master.. You have dark circles under your eyes."Corner pointed out while peeling an apple with a knife. They were currently in the training ground of the duchy. Two days had passed since Ian had that encounter with Albert at the Empress's palace."Thanks for pointing it out, Corner. I totally didn't notice..."Ian said in a sluggish voice. He was lying flat on the grass and looking at the sky in a daze."Are you having trouble sleeping nowadays, young master?"Corner didn't mind Ian's sarcastic comment and continued with his worries. At this point, he knew exactly what Ian meant even if his words were the complete opposite of it."No.. It's not that I couldn't sleep.."Ian plucked a grass leaf and placed it on his mouth, his unfocused gaze looking like those of a man in his sixties.'I'm only
An Important Villain Is that seat taken?
'This is so boring..'Ian was sitting on the front seat of the award ceremony. He and a few others had their special seats reserved at the front, according to their social status or merits.Almost two hours had passed since Ian entered the Royal palace. All those royal etiquettes and then the King's speech it was tiring him out.'Why's the seat next to me empty?'Ian thought.The merit ceremony was supposed to last a long time since a large number of people were supposed to get rewarded today. It was a once in a year ceremony, rewarding everyone who has done remarkable things for the last one year.'And Arthur's name is at the end, as expected..'Since he was the protagonist, his rewards were grander and more attention gathering than anyone else's.Yawn.A few nobles
An Important Villain The Missing Princess
"Is the seat next to you taken, young master?"Asked Arthur while smiling from ear to ear.'Seems like he has no intention of ignoring me..'Ian originally planned on ignoring Arthur if he did the same. Since Arthur had just recently started getting the public attention, Ian didn't want to be seen together with him outside of work."It's empty."But if Arthur was going to approach him so openly like that, he didn't have the heart to reject him openly in front of everyone either. Arthur was the protagonist of his favourite novel afterall.As the protagonist took the seat right next to him, suddenly, Ian felt like all the attention of the world was on him. He wondered if it was the side effect of being with the protagonist."Is it your turn next, young master?"Arthur asked in a curious voice. Since the awar
An Important Villain A Pleasant Dinner
"Young master..""Son..""Ian! How come you always have the answer to every problem?!Mister wizard! Please hurry and find my sister now!""Yes Prince Albert. Right away!"Arthur and Miller showed their bewilderment while Albert shouted in joy and hurried the wizard.Once he received the earring, the wizard managed to quickly track the princess down."It seems like they're planning on leaving the city."He pointed to a specific location on the map and spoke. The others weren't as tense as before since they all had a ray of hope now."Father. I'll go rescue her right away. My knights are ready."Reynold spoke, ready to take off any moment."I'm going with you."Albert said blocking his way. He didn't want to lose
An Important Villain Let's Put Him to Sleep
"The food was good."Ian said. Rianne also had quite a satisfied look on her face. She didn't plan on having dinner with Ian in the first place. But seeing how considerate he was, and how there was no one bothering her when she stayed with him, Rianne changed her mind."Yes. I enjoyed it as well.""What do you plan to do now?"Ian asked casually. He initially wanted to leave the party as soon as the ceremony was over. But with the whole princess kidnapping case, he had to stay here till the end and look after things."I don't have any prior engagements."Rianne replied. She didn't seem to have any intention of mingling with the nobles present at the party."Hmm.. You don't have any friends?"Ian asked. Corner would've dropped his sword if he heard Ian speak like that, and Rob would've had a heart attack. The blu
An Important Villain A Monster
"Young master, what are you trying to do?"Rianne asked in a small voice from behind Ian. She was worried a fight might break out here if Ian started throwing punches randomly. It may even sour the relationship between the two families."Have a conversation."Ian spoke, the nasty aura around him disappeared and his expressions returned to normal.'A conversation?'Rianne wondered if she heard correctly as she saw Ian approaching William. She wanted to stop him from causing trouble but amidst all that people, she was unable to do so."Young master William, are you okay?"Ian asked as he closed the distance between them within a few steps. William still wasn't paying any attention to him and he was grateful for that fact.When William was within Ian's reach, he looked at the girl. There wasn't anything wrong
