"I will be a Villain in this life."

Chapters 4.

Third person's Pov.

When Yug woke up the next time he was lying inside his room, for a moment he didn't realize what was going on until he remembered what had happened.

He sat up straight and he heard the voice of his knight, "your highness!!"

His nanny also called out to him, " Your highness!! Are you okay?"

In the entire palace, only the two who were loyal to his mother remained beside him, his most trusted person.

"I am fine, but how did I get here?"

"We found you outside the imperial palace. Someone was there when I reached you, but they were gone once I got you."

Yug nodded, but his mind was filled with questions. How come he is cured and alive as far as he knows, black venom has no cure, then how?

Did Zavian invent one? No that's not possible. Even the greatest people in history couldn't invent. one then how come fifteen-year-old child-like Zavian make one?

Whatever the case is, Zavian is in danger because as far as he remembers Zavian didn't kill those people except one and those people were the empress's people they will tell her that he saved him

She will go after him them no absolutely not, but it's already too late. What can he do now?

Meanwhile, the empress was fuming in her room as she threw her things here and there.

"How is that mutt still alive just how!!! even black venom couldn't kill him?"

The saintess news there as well, " empress Diana, please calm down"

"How can I calm down Adeena? Just now that bastard is still alive, but how black venom. Should have no cure?"

She said and then asked the men who attacked Yug, "what had happened there? Whom saved that prince?"

"Your majesty, we nearly succeeded in the mission, but then the son of Duke Seth, Zavian, he was the one who saved him"

Saintess spoke next," Zavian the human blessed by the goddess, how come he...did you see him cure the third prince?"

The man shook his head.

"Isn't this Zavian the one who was spotted with him before as well?" The empress said, "Saintess, isn't he the one you have a doubt on?"

"Yes, your majesty, we think that he is the one. Even Silas knows this"

The empress suddenly smirked, "I see."

Meanwhile, Yug, who was sitting in his bed with deep thoughts, " Jack,"

"Yes, my lord"

"Go and spread the rumor that the third prince was poisoned by the black venom and a mysterious woman cured him while the son of Duke, Zavian, saved him"

"Yes, your highness"

He wonders if this would be enough that divert the mind of the empress? He has to look for Zavian and find answers for himself.

Meanwhile, Zavian who was sitting in his room with a chaotic mind, was sweating and shivering as he constantly apologized for killing someone.

Goddess is his everything. He wouldn't survive if she abandoned him as well.

That day Zavian didn't eat or drink anything, he stayed in his room and didn't even sleep and it wasn't like anyone cared about what happened to this neglected son of the duke.

The next morning Zavian left his home earlier than expected, but to his surprise, there was a carriage outside his house.

He wanted to ignore it but how could he when the prince himself got down from the carriage and offered his hand, "allow this prince to give a lift to his benefactor."

Zavian wanted to say no but unfortunately, he couldn't because of the guards and all, so he got onto Prince Yug's carriage.

"Good morning, your highness"

"You sound tired, young master. Perhaps you didn't get proper sleep last night."

Zavian chose not to reply to that, and Yug continued, "so young mastermind telling how you cured me?"

"I have no idea what you are talking about, your highness."

"Hmm...as expected, you wouldn't answer when I ask nicely, right?"

This made Zavian stare, or more like glare, at Yug.

"Oh, don't worry, I won't torture you and not even think about it, especially since we are on our way to a holy place. And I think that saving someone's life isn't a sin."

"But taking is."

"But not if you have no choice. Your goddess, is not that petty, right?"

This made Zavian glare at him. "my apologies. I had forgotten how much you love your non-existent goddess"

Even after everything that Yug said, he still came with Zavian to the temple.

And as usual, Silas knew about it," it seems that we have guests today, right, Zavian"

"Yes, Silas"

Silas then turned to Yug. "greetings, your Highness."

Yug smirked, "I had heard that you were blind, then how come you know about my presence is your blindness fake and only there to scam people?"

"Your highness!" Zavian spoke, Silas was not just an oracle, he was a high priest, someone above Saintess, his words are wise and are considered being directly from God. He is someone who has the highest respect in the empire even more than the emperor.

His insult is like an insult to the empire and religion itself.

But Silas just smiled, "as expected, you are just as cute as I had expected, your highness and I am glad that you are in good health"

Yug smiled as well even though he is not much of a believer in and goddess. He still knows how to recognize good people, "I am not. cute please refrain from calling me that"

"As you wish your highness bit can I ask what brings you here today?"

"I thought you knew everything"

Silas only smiled after this and handed a broom to Yug. "this is the practice both Zavian had I do every day. If you don't want to then you can leave"

"Aren't you a High priest? You can just order someone to do it"

"I wouldn't want anyone to do anything in the goddess's temple with hate or force"

Yug nodded and in the end helped with cleaning as well as offered his prayers to the goddess. Well, he only stared at the goddess's statue the entire time.

After their prayers, both of them said goodbye to Silas before sitting in Yug's carriage. well, Zavian didn't want to, but he couldn't say no to the prince.

"You are still not going to tell me how you cured me?

"I still don't understand what you mean, your highness," Zavian replied.

"Alright, then make sure to remain safe. You are a good person I hope you live peacefully"

This made Zavian actually smile because he knew that Yug said this to him genuinely. This prince is not as bad as he pretends to be.

"I know we have different thinking and paths, but for now, even if it's for a few days, can we be friends?"

This was probably the first time in his life after a very long time someone has asked to be Zavian's friend. His heart felt elated and his smile brighter, as he raised his hand forward and shook hands with Yug.

"Sure, your highness"

After ten years, Zavian has finally made a friend. And he can't wait to tell the goddess about it.
