Rehabilitating the Villainess

I earned a lot of money. 

Not only that, but I was also able to get the items I had thought I wouldn’t be able to get.

Admittedly, I owed all that to the woman who was practically a walking money bag. However, I didn’t really feel any kind of guilt. In the first place, it was the woman who first initiated the quarrel.

Even so, as a gentleman, I felt a little bit sorry. Then I thought about it from another perspective.

What if I didn’t get those items?

Possibly it could lead to the failure of my plan, and thereby spell a string of troubles for both me, as well as Shael. So it was no big deal that I ripped someone off of some things and money.

After I perfectly rationalized my actions, I released the camouflage magic tool. I even undid the magic that erased my presence so that Shael could find me.

Then I felt a wave of mana from a certain direction, and it was accompanied by a magnificent and strong aura…both of which was quite familiar to me.

They belonged to the Mage Tower Lord and the Crown Prince. At the moment hey were coming toward me, at full speed.

‘There’s no need for them to do that…it’s not like I’ll run away.’

I needed to meet them in order to carry out my plan anyway. Even if I had to fight them, I had the confidence to run away.

Boom!

The Mage Tower Lord and the Crown Prince appeared in front of me in an unnecessarily grandiose manner.

Perhaps they were in distress due to Clie’s illness, so they looked at me with tired but annoyed eyes.

“What do you want?” I asked.

“I heard you have a cure for the blood clotting disease.”

It was clear that they had heard it from Clie. But they didn’t bring up the matter of ‘earrings’.

That’s right. It would be troublesome for Cile if I found out that earrings were the only cure. 

If it were me, I also wouldn’t have told the male protagonists about it either. They were quite unreliable, and they were only obsessed with their own agendas.

The Mage Tower Lord opened his mouth, “Last time, at the Blessing Meeting, you said that you had no cure for such ailments. Was that a lie?”

‘Don’t you think what Clie told you could be lies instead?’

Of course, I couldn’t expect such feats of intelligence from these two clowns. To them, Clie’s words were everything, and it was an essential order they had to follow.

I could feel their eyes filled with madness. 

However, there were many ways out of the situation. Rather, it was a win-win situation for me. The perfect situation to throw them the first bait for a plan I have had in mind.

“There is a cure that I found out after listening to the Mage Tower Lord and reading the family book recently.”

“I see. Let’s go to the imperial palace first.”

The Prince drew his sword.

‘Is that a threat?’

I wasn’t afraid, but still, I had to admit that the guy was powerful.

The Crown Prince and the Magic Tower Master were achieving tremendous growth, befitting the male protagonists in the novel. If they were give a bit more time, they would have the ability to take the world under their feat. 

Therefore, it was necessary to make my plan a success and get them away from Clie.

“It takes quite a long time to produce a cure for blood clotting disease.”

“Stop the bullsh*t.”

“It’s not bullsh*t. In fact, I was preparing the ingredients for the cure.”

They glared at me in disbelief. But I had the advantage in this situation.

“If you don’t believe me, you can ask that woman named Clie. But, there won’t be enough time to make the cure.”

If it was now, Clie would probably be unconscious. It was probably the worst phase of the blood clotting disease.

“How long will it take to make this cure?”

“About four days for preparing the ingredients. And another four days for the manufacturing process.”

‘That should be enough time for Clie to die…’

However, there was no way that the Mage Tower Lord and the Crown Prince would accept such a delay.

“What? Then you should just give us the recipe…”

“I will never divulge the secret of my family even if you kill me.”

“Ha!”

The Crown Prince grabbed his sword, but it was only for a moment. For now, he couldn’t do anything to me as I had essentially taken Clie hostage.

“Above all, my manufacturing will be the fastest. That’s what I can guarantee.”

“Eight days is too long. Cut it down to five days.”

Now that Clie’s life was under my control, they were treating me with a little courtesy.

“It is possible if you help me find the ingredients.”

“What is that ingredient?”

“There are two difficult to get ingredients. I need the juice of the royal cactus from the Alcala Desert and the blood of the Vanil Bear from the Puel area.”

Both of these materials were extremely difficult to obtain. Because the places were either too hot or too cold.

But if it were these two clowns, they would go get the ingredients themselves. There was no way the male protagonists would yield their actions for Clie to others.

“I will try to get it within today.”

“No. You should bring the ingredients near the end of the Imperial Festival. They are ingredients that lose their efficacy over time.”

Of course, I didn’t need them at all, but I had to mention them in order to make my claim more believable.

‘Ah, what it this feeling of happiness?’ I thought while trying hard not to smile.

Anyways, the conversation ended with a bloody threat to destroy the Baslett family and the Azbel family if the cure was not produced in time.

And so, my plan to punish them had taken a step forward.
