DOOMED TO BE A VILLAIN



No matter how much they dragged their feet and conversed with each other, in the end, they still had to arrive at their destination which was the large crowd that had formed around the head of the Lecroy family.

Now they were faced with the problem of how to reach the front of the crowd and congratulate the celebrant as the crowd stood in the way of their objective, but instead of making a move to get through the crowd, they both simply took a glance at the crowd and said,

"Let's just wait for the crowd to clear," they both spoke at exactly the same time then looked at each other in surprise and both started laughing lightly, while using their hands to shield their mouths from bursting openly with laughter.

It was obvious that they really weren't interested in meeting the celebrant and were constantly looking for ways to escape from doing it, or at the very least, to delay it.

Their laughing faces visibly brightened the scenery around them, but unfortunately, no one but Daniella and a few of the attendants were able to witness such a photographic scene.

After a few seconds of trying to control their laughter, they managed to comport themselves and wiped away any traces of smiles from their face and quickly reverted to their image of beautiful ice sculptures that displayed no emotion, but for anyone who had been watching them, it was rather comical.

"So, where were we?" Melinda asked Davies after removing every trace of a smile from her face.

"You set my soul on fire," Davies replied in a deeply seductive with a completely straight face.

"W-What!?" Melinda was completely thrown off balance by Davies's words and could only gape at him in shock as a red tinge slowly appeared on her face.

"Pffftt, hahahaha,"

"You actually fell for that, hahaha," Davies laughed at Melinda who had actually been rizzed up by Davies's somewhat romantic voice and extremely seductive voice.

"Y-You brat," Melinda was shaking in embarrassment as her face turned even redder.

"Hahaha, fucking hell, you're actually blushing," Davies said in between laughs at how she had been so easily rizzed up by his cringy but romantic line. He couldn't understand how a woman that was as mature looking as Melinda could be so easily rizzed up by such a weak line.

He had actually only said this line because he wanted to test how resistive she was to being rizzed up, but her reaction actually disappointed him. She was too easily rizzed up by him and was even blushing.

'Isn't this too easy?' he wondered to himself because he knew that with defenses as weak as hers, he could easily work his way into her bedroom tonight.

'Is it supposed to be this easy or is it a trap?' he constantly wondered.

[It has to be this easy, how else do you think that romantic idiots like protagonists can get such girls to fall in love with them otherwise] Miya suddenly broke into his wondering and evaporated all his questions with this one singular sentence.

'That… actually makes sense,' he suddenly realized. It was true that most heroic fated protagonists were absolute dullards when it came to the romance department and did not know how to speak to a woman much less how to get into a relationship.

Most of them were even beta idiots that were easily pushed around by women and acted like well-trained dogs whenever they smelt a pretty girl nearby, yet somehow, through various stupid coincidences they somehow managed to establish romantic relationships with women that were way above their paygrade and they even somehow manage to establish harems full of women who were extremely docile around him but were like furious dragons to everyone else of the opposite sex.

'I see… now it all makes sense…'

[What makes sense?] Miya asked confusedly.

'The requirement to be a heroine in this world must be to have been kicked in the head by a donkey,' Davies thought so seriously that Miya burst into laughter immediately.

[Pffffft…Hahahaha…] 

[What do you mean kicked in the head by a donkey?]

'They have to have been kicked in the head by a donkey,'

'It's the only thing that can explain their various weird characters and how easy they are,' Davies spoke as if he had just discovered a hidden truth of the world.

[What?] Miya asked laughingly.

'It's true, for starters, Jessica is a heroine, yet I slept with her in less than a day, then there is Tisha who obviously has something wrong in her head,'

'Then there is that bitch from the Santos family who obviously has a whole lot of things wrong upstairs and then-' Davies began to list out but was interrupted by Miya.

[First of all, Tisha is a villain] Miya immediately corrected.

'She still shows the symptoms of being kicked in the head by a donkey… wait don't tell me that everyone in this world related to the protagonist in some way or the other has been kicked in the head by a donkey…' 

[...]

[The people in this world are pretty weird…] Miya also came to a sudden realization.

'See…' Davies felt a headache coming at the thought that he would constantly have to deal with idiots in the nearest future as he would have to constantly deal with important characters that were inevitably related to the protagonist.

The thought that they would all act as if they had all been kicked in the head by donkeys was quite disconcerting, but he could not do anything about that, so he decided to focus on the matter at hand.

Outwardly he was still laughing at Melinda's embarrassed look at being so easily rizzed up by him and Melinda was looking away from him in mock anger and embarrassment.

Because they were so into their own conversation with each other while not paying attention to anything else, they didn't realize that the people around them were now looking at them with weird looks on their faces.

'Is that she actually smiling?'

'Since when did Flaming Winged Enchantress become so jovial?'

'Who is the young man laughing with her?'

Various thoughts were running through the minds of the people that were seeing the greatest surprise of their lives, but they were all centered around those three questions.

The name "Flaming Winged Enchantress" was derived from three things, Melinda's S-ranked blessing, her battle style, and her temperament. Her blessing, Phoenix wings were able to control flames and do many things, but Melinda always shaped her flames like wings whenever she fought, yet unlike the fiery temperature of her face, her attitude to everything and her temperament were always frigid, cold and elegant, hence she was called the Flaming Winged Enchantress, but suddenly the woman that was so known for her cold attitude and temperament that she even got a name for it, was currently laughing and chatting jovially with someone.

This was more than the shock of their lives and countless men that were watching and had hidden thoughts about Melinda could feel their hearts shattering into pieces.

The Ice queen of their fantasies was being cracked open by a white-haired bastard.

Davies suddenly felt hostility coming at him from various directions and he immediately perked up from his conversation with Melinda and turned around with his mana already flowing, causing his eyes to glow eerily. 

He didn't expect anything to happen to him in a place like this, but one can never be too careful, hence why he was already preparing his mana to fight if he noticed any threat the moment, he felt hostility.

It was only when he had turned around that he noticed that the eyes of everyone were on him and Melinda.

"What?"

"Y'all never seen a handsome dude talking to a beautiful woman before?" Davies didn't back down when he saw the hidden hostility and desire in the eyes of the men and women staring at him respectively.

He spoke brazenly without the slightest modicum of respect to the top brass of the city who were looking at him with anger in their eyes at the way Davies had spoken to them without caring about seniority or anything for that matter.

Of course, they were only angry because they couldn't recognize his face and didn't know his identity, so they thought he was some second generation who had overstepped his bounds and come here to play.

"Oh, Happy Birthday dude," Davies spoke like he was talking to the dude next door when he spotted the head of the Lecroy family who was finally visible after the crow had turned their attention to Davies.

The head of the Lecroy family, Rafael Lecroy, was visibly surprised at being congratulated so casually but when he recognized Davies as the guest of honor that his daughter had managed to invite, he quickly began pushing through the crowd to come meet Davies.

Luckily, the crowd majorly moved out of the way so he was able to easily reach Davies,

"Thank you for the well wishes,"

"I'm quite touched that you took some time out of your schedule to come to my banquet," Rafael spoke with visible respect in his tone, surprising the visitors who hadn't been able to catch on because they didn't recognize Davies.

"Don't worry about that, rather do something about your guests, they all look like they want to beat me up," Davies brushed off whatever Rafael was going to say next and focused on the annoying looks he was receiving from the male guests.
