"I came out to take a walk. It's stuffy inside."
Ian said while stretching. He was feeling stiff after staying inside the underground prison for a long time.
"You were taking a walk?"
Seeing Corner's constipated expression, Ash frowned and asked again.
"That's right."
Ian moved slightly and blocked Corner from their view. That guy was too bad at lying so Ian took it upon himself to cover for him.
"What about you guys? All of you together, did something happen?"
Ian asked as he started walking once again. He had to go back to his bedroom before the people in front of him made even a bigger fuss.
"Nothing happened."
"It was a coincidence."
Arthur and Ash replied simultaneously. Seeing the villain hero pair in such sync, Ian had a weird feeling in his stom

An Important Villain Accusations Against Ian
"Monster..? .... Me?" Ian pointed towards himself. Miller turned his head around in shock after realising that Ian was right behind him and had heard the whole thing. And not just Miller, everyone present there had the same reaction when they became aware of Ian's presence. Ian wondered what was going on as he approached Miller and the Second Prince. Since it was an event outside of the original storyline, Ian felt a little uneasy. "Son.. why'd you come out.. I'll handle this so you can go inside and rest." Miller looked troubled and worried about Ian as he tried to shield him from the Prince. "Cedric? Why are you here? And what's all this commotion about?" Albert also approached them from behind and tried to understand what was going on. Since Ian's family was one that was loyal to the Kingdom and the King
An Important Villain Royal Order
"Wow.. How convenient.."Ian looked amazed as he heard the Second Prince, Prince Cedric spout nonsense. Seeing his unbothered expression, Prince Cedric frowned in displeasure."What do you mean by convenient?"He asked."I mean, the fact that they willingly surrendered and revealed my name, specifically, like that.. Sounds a little unnatural, no?"Ian couldn't help but laugh at how absurd the whole thing sounded. Anyone with the least bit rationality left in them would find a situation like this suspicious.But the fact that the second prince wasn't questioning the situation made him look suspicious instead, at least to Ian."That is obviously a lie."Corner protested from the side. And Miller joined in."As you may have learned from the reports I sent, my son has bee
An Important Villain Unfamiliar Gazes
"You're going this way."Cedric beckoned Ian. Miller was going to have an audience with the King to get an explanation for his absurd Royal Order while Ian was to be sent to the room where he will stay for the next three days."Sure."Ian had his hands in his pocket and was walking in a leisurely manner. No way did he look like a person who was accused of treason, the worst crime in the Kingdom's dictionary."Son..."Miller had a pained look as he looked at Ian. Thinking about having to let Ian go through another bad experience after he has endured so much already made Miller feel frustrated."I'm counting on you, father. Make sure you get me out of here in three days. I have a lot of work left to do."Ian gave him an energetic look and then headed off to the other direction. And the moment Ian left, the te
An Important Villain The Quickest Method
The trial begun.The Second Prince had his men stand against Ian and list out all of his past deeds one by one. The Adrian of the past had caused a lot of trouble and made enemy out of many people.And although he wasn't the only one to blame, since you can't clap with one hand, the other party's were presented as victims or less guilty.But Ian wasn't listening. He wasn't paying any attention to what the second prince's men were speaking at all.The only thing within his focus was how Miller and Olivia either had their head hung low or how they were avoiding making eye contact with Ian.'Why...are they acting like that?'Ian couldn't understand. He couldn't understand why his parents, the very people who had their eyes full of love and concern for him even three days ago, now looked at him with those expressions.
An Important Villain Ian's Decision
Just as Ian had asked for, the crystal of truth was brought in. The second prince and his men thought that Ian had decided to give up and confess his crimes since he had no more support or backup left to count on.Afterall, the moment his own parents failed to place their trust on him, he had already lost the battle. They were, at least according to Cedric and his men, Ian's best support and his only saviors, unbeknownst to them the true skills and talents of Noah, who was residing in Ian's body.They placed the crystal of truth in front of Ian. It was placed on a stand that was decorated with the royal crest, making it one of the most valued items of the kingdom. Even in the whole continent, there was only a few of these crystals.As mentioned previously, the crystal changes colour according to the words of the speaker. If they are speaking the truth, then it'll remain the same pale blue colour and if they're lying, it'll glow red.Ian
An Important Villain Corner's Despair
"Young master.."Corner slumped down to the ground with a despairing expression as he saw Ian turn into fire and disappear.The young master that he adored, the young master that he respected and wanted to serve for all his life, that person had to go through something so unfair and agonizing that they'd decide to disappear.The very thought of what Ian must've felt when he stood at the trial stand, receiving all those negative feelings directed towards him from the people he loved and cared about made Corner go numb all over his body.And at the end of that despair, the only thing left in Corner's heart was pain and anger. He was like an injured animal who had his last safe spot snatched from him, helpless and miserable."My lord.."He looked at Miller. And the Duke who always held his head up high and never avoided anyone's eyes had his he
