2.

Like the world I originally lived in, this place also had monsters and was attacked by them, so it was fortunate that I had attribute abilities and other powers to survive.

Moreover, my dark magic is the strongest in the world.

I was a recognized prodigy who obtained the youngest dark magic certificate with my genius intellect and inexhaustible magical power.

With this power, I decided to twist the original story in this place.

The name of my project: Destroy my gruesome death ending at the hands of my beloved and stand by Perioze’s Sister’s side to live happily without dying!

To do that, I first need to become close with Perioze’s Sister, my beloved…

The problem was that I acted so strangely earlier that the proud Perioze’s Sister, who only looks down on the world, backed away from me.

I covered my face with both hands and recalled the back of Perioze’s Sister as she retreated from me and fled.

…Even her retreating figure was beautiful.

She really looked exactly like the face I had imagined.

A sharp-tongued, elegant, beautiful red cat.

How can I make this fierce, cat-like Perioze’s Sister join my side?

I thought about trying to win her over using the things Perioze’s Sister liked in the original story.

Our Perioze’s Sister was terribly wicked due to her villainess concept, but she’s actually infinitely kind to her own people.

The reason such a sister became a villainess was because Caroline and the hypocrites who protect her kept making her angry, just like today.

So I just need to stick close to her side and personally eliminate the people who will make her angry in the future.

I nodded and stretched my lips into a long smile.

‘Now, let the conquest of Perioze’s Sister, who will kill me, begin.’

* * *

The carriage arrived at Marquis Brencia’s mansion.

My mouth fell open at the sight of the marquis’ mansion, which was even larger and more splendid than the previous nameless count’s estate.

‘My goodness, they said it was a nouveau riche family, but do they really have this much money?’

I was escorted by a knight guarding the door into the lobby, and I kept my mouth agape at the interior beauty that was even more amazing than the carriage and mansion exterior.

“Our daughter is here!”

Seeing Marquis Brencia running toward me with both arms spread wide, I forced a smile and stepped back.

Although there was no mention of him being a daughter-obsessed father, there was content about how Elinea desperately wanted to become a noble and spent a fortune to buy the marquis title, so I could tell that the marquis treated his daughter like gold and jade.

Seeing me step back, the marquis lowered his outstretched arms and spoke with a disappointed expression.

“Until last year, you used to hug me and give me kisses readily, my daughter.”

Fortunately, it seemed Elinea had stopped that cringe-worthy behavior before I possessed her body.

“I’m all grown up now, Dad. My debutante is coming up soon too.”

My eyes widened slightly as words flowed from my mouth regardless of my will.

“Oh, yes. The debutante. The day our daughter has been waiting for so eagerly will come soon.”

Debutante.

It was a coming-of-age party for nobles where they mainly showed off their attribute abilities, with young ladies establishing their position in high society and young men striving to get good positions in knight orders.

“Don’t worry about your attribute ability. I’ve brought in a very strong wind attribute user as your knight…”

In the original story, Elinea, who had no attributes, appeared with a fallen noble’s son who had attributes thanks to her father’s help, becoming even more of a laughingstock.

Caroline tried to protect Elinea and the noble’s son who became a commoner knight, but instead caught Perioze’s attention and ended up having an even more miserable debutante.

Come to think of it, she was unnecessarily meddlesome.

I suppose that’s why I disliked Caroline.

She tried to help others in her own way, but most of the time she caused trouble instead, and through that trouble, only she ended up looking like a good person in many episodes.

To call it the female lead’s buff, when you strip away the framing, she was a very frustrating and annoying type.

“Dad, instead of a knight, could you give me some money?”

Thinking I couldn’t let the debutante be a mess like in the original story, I asked the marquis for money.

Of course, I don’t have anywhere to spend money right now, but to make my dark magic look like an attribute ability, I need a proper justification, and money was the most convenient and best method for that justification.

“Money? Why do you need money…”

“To buy an attribute ability.”

With money, there’s nothing that can’t be done in this world.

“Buy an attribute ability with money? Is that possible?”

“This is a secret.”

I whispered the plan I had just thought of into Dad’s ear.

My dark magic definitely resembles the Northern Duke’s darkness attribute in appearance.

Even the dormitory kids said that the dark magic we study might actually be the Northern Duke’s power.

So I could say that some unknown person developed the ability to slightly extract the Northern Duke’s darkness attribute and contain it in objects.

That unknown someone demanded an unimaginable amount of money and offered to sell objects containing the darkness attribute, but with those objects, one could appear to be someone who can use darkness attributes, so the unimaginable money wouldn’t be a waste.

The persuasion was instantaneous.

The daughter-obsessed father signed several blank checks without a moment’s hesitation and gave them to me.

‘Nouveau riche really is a wonderful thing.’

* * *

So I came out to the city with the blank checks I received from Dad.

The most important thing right now was to become close with Perioze’s Sister and change both our gruesome death endings into happy endings.

To do that, the first thing I needed to do was win her heart.

I went to Perioze’s Sister’s favorite cafe that she absolutely couldn’t refuse, reserved the entire second floor, then sent word to the duke’s mansion.

She loved the cakes and coffee here so much that she had servants buy them for her every day.

She preferred drinking here while looking down at the bustling district scenery rather than eating at home, but she hesitated to come directly because of her reputation.

If the princess bought this place loved by everyone with money and authority, preventing others from enjoying it, she would hear things like ‘The princess is acting like a princess again.’

The most important thing to Perioze’s Sister right now was her reputation in the eyes of Crown Prince Lloyd.

Knowing this situation, since I rented the entire second floor, I thought Perioze’s Sister would definitely come even if she found spending time with me distasteful.

As expected, she came to the cafe after just my first message.

“What are you up to?”

Taking off her large-brimmed hat and sitting in the chair across from me, Perioze’s Sister was breathtakingly beautiful today as well.

“It’s been a while, Princess.”

At my greeting, Perioze’s Sister’s brow furrowed deeply.

Gasp, so pretty!

Even that frowning face looked like a goddess, so I unconsciously covered my cheeks with both hands.

Really, Perioze’s Sister’s beauty made my cheeks burn so hot they felt like they might burst.

“I don’t know what you’re scheming, Marquis’ daughter.”

“It’s Elinea. Please call me Eli comfortably, Sister.”

“…”

I smiled brightly at Perioze’s Sister, who looked at me with an expression that said ‘What is all this about?’, then spoke to the staff member approaching our table.

“Iced latte with plenty of syrup. Sister, would you like the same thing?”

“…”

“Your usual is good too, but on a day like today, you need to eat something sweet, right? Have you tried the salt bread here with the latte? It’s so delicious that two people eating it wouldn’t notice if one of them died. So please trust me just this once and try it.”

After speaking as if throwing a tantrum, I spoke to the staff member before Perioze’s Sister could say anything, making it feel like I was forcing this out of my own greed.

“Hey, quickly go get two iced lattes with plenty of syrup. In the largest cup size this place has. And two salt breads with non-sweet cheesecake as well.”

They were all menu items that she liked.

Perioze’s Sister’s eyes began to sparkle noticeably.

But then, the sound of people murmuring below the window reached us.

“Did you hear the rumor? Strange flowers bloomed in that garden over there.”

“Black flowers? Aren’t those just burnt?”

Their conversation struck my ears clearly, and I instinctively got up and approached the window.

In one corner of the first floor garden, black withering flowers were blooming in an alien way.

Though not visible to the eye, a strange aura rose from those black flowers.

Just like when I faced monsters in the world I originally lived in.

‘Those don’t seem like ordinary flowers…’

A chill running down my spine made my breath catch slightly.

In the world I lived in, there was a monster that made me feel similarly.

A mutant.

With that thought, my instincts began screaming that it was dangerous.

At that moment.

A child who had been watching reached out their hand toward the flower.

“Dangerous!”

I shouted without thinking and reached out my hand toward the child.

Whirrrr―

My dark magic spread out like a shield in front of the child.

At the same time, the black flower revealed its terrible teeth and lunged at the child.

But those hideous teeth were blocked by the dark magic shield and shattered with a ‘crack’ sound.

The black flower instantly withered and died.

“Waaaaah!”

The startled child fell backward and burst into tears.

I immediately absorbed and withdrew the shield.

The faint afterimage that had risen like a shadow disappeared.

Since I had deliberately deployed a shadow mist barrier that was less visually noticeable, no one except the child had clearly seen my dark magic shield.

Still, just in case, I scanned people’s expressions and said to Perioze’s Sister.

“Sister, just a moment!”

Then I quickly went down to the first floor and ran to the child.

Perhaps because of the black flower that had suddenly tried to attack the child, no one was approaching the child.

Even the person who appeared to be the Child’s Mother was standing there trembling.

“Are you okay?”

I went to the child and took their hand to help them up.

The child nodded while shedding grape-like tears.
