Erotic RPG: I am in the Game world, But My Heroines are Villainesses
Chapter 22 Funeral 3How would you feel when you see your ex-girlfriend with someone else?
Normally speaking, most people would feel mad.
However, this is not a good thing to do. When you decide to part ways and finish your relationship with someone, you shouldn't think about them anymore. This is what it should be, and most people would accept that fact too.
On the other hand, when it comes to experiencing those things, reality would hit differently. Even though they would accept that fact, they wouldn't probably control their emotions.
Then, how should one cope with that? How can they manage their emotions?
This is one of the hardest things in life.
Managing one's own emotions.
It is very hard, but at the same time, it is very rewarding. The more you can control your emotions, the more you will feel like you will succeed.
Most people would argue about the fact that those emotions are the things that make us human.
But I don't agree with that.
Those emotions that will stand in the way of my succession… They don't deserve to be part of me.
No, they deserve to be removed. They deserve to be killed. If that means that in order for me to be successful, I will abandon those feelings of mine that make me weak, that makes me pathetic.
And this is what I am doing right now.
This bitch, who thinks she is the center of attention wherever she goes, whomever she meets.
Alicia Montalet is the third heroine of the game.
The moment she finished greeting Emma, she turned her attention to me, but this time with a slight smile on her face.
As a fiancée of mine, when she doesn't come next to me and stand by my side, she is showing all those people that she doesn't recognize me as her beloved.
No, instead, she is giving the impression of disregarding me, and she knows that as well.
Intentionally standing next to Arthur while knowing all those facts means one thing.
She is trying to provoke me. In her head, the moment Austin died, she should have already finished this façade of playing fiancée. It seems the household of Montalet has decided to take action against me.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThey are too prideful for their own good, which doesn't let them marry their daughter with the classless child of Duke Austin.
No, it was a wrong description—The correct one would be "the futureless illegitimate child of 'Deceased' Duke Austin."
The moment Father died, it was the end of this marriage in their eyes which I will never refuse.
This is one of the best decisions they can make for my life as well.
I certainly don't like to be with some girl who is a snake in human skin, and I am wondering what kind of expression she will make when I absolutely destroy her little 'crush' of hers.
I am really wondering what kind of expression she will make when I destroy all her family in front of her. The ambitions she has, and she will have, the things she likes, and she will connect; I will destroy every one of the things that will make her happy, and I will do it in such a way that she will realize how alone she is.
I will be sure to make her feel the despair of being left alone by the person she loves the most.
This and avenging the death of Austin. Those two will be the last things I will do for the previous owner and original Callius.
Anyway, enough with my ramblings.
"Callius, how are you doing? It seems you still haven't changed, and you are still as pathetic as before."
The moment she turned her head to me, she said with a slight smile to provoke me.
But child, you are still 1000 years younger to provoke me like this. How foolish. I am neither Adelyn nor Emma to get mad over something this little.
"And you are as a snake as ever before; it seems you, too, haven't changed."
I said, replying while smiling a bit.
The moment I said that, she got surprised, certainly not expecting this kind of answer.
However, she was certainly not the likes of Emma or that pig Archbishop. She was a lot better analytical person. So she didn't get agitated and smiled.
But, there was one certain idiot who couldn't stand her secret 'beloved' insulted like this.
"What do you mean, Callius? Can you elaborate on what you said about my friend?"
Our hero Arthur butted in without reading the mood.
"I think my answer was pretty much clear. If you are unable to understand that simple question, I think you should work on your brain."
I answered while smiling again.
"Pfft, Hahaha!"
Diana started laughing. It seems she couldn't hold it in.
"What is so funny?"
Arthur turned his attention to Diana.
"No, no. It was nothing."
Diana said, but the atmosphere got really awkward fast. However, this was a characteristic of Arthur, and in the game, we beat tons of villains just because they said something to our hero's future 'wives'.
And from the look Arthur is giving me, it seems I am marked as a target as well. But I don't care anyway.
/CLAP/ /CLAP/
"Everyone, please turn your attention to here. We will start the funeral ceremony right now."
At that moment, Archbishop signaled everyone, and the funeral ceremony started.
***
It was like any normal funeral ceremony aside from the fact that the coffin and other things were flashy.
The speech Adelyn gave and the hymn sung by the church was in the tradition of this country.
After the ceremony was finished, Adelyn announced the start of the Banquet. Although this itself may look weird, this was a tradition of this country.
In the past, Callius would always keep himself alone in these kinds of banquets if he would never attend any. Since his standing in nobility was not that good, nobody would approach him either.
And today, the banquet was still the same. I went to a corner and started drinking alone. Well, by drinking, I am only saying fruit juice. I, of course, won't drink any alcohol in such a situation where everyone is looking for an opportunity to strike our household.
But today, I wasn't alone.
"Brother, it seems you still haven't changed. You still dislike interacting with those nobles, don't you?"
Diana said while coming next to me.
"Yes, you are right. I don't like dealing with those hungry wolfs who can disregard even their own child just for the sake of some power."
I answered while taking a sip of my drink.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"You are as right as ever, brother. Look, all those people near Mother, they are all looking for an opening to strike. And they are not even bothering to hide their intentions. Look at all those smiles; it is disgusting."
She said while looking at the crowd gathered around Adelyn.
"You seem to hate nobles. Is it because of that event?"
"Yes and no. Not just because of that day. All of them make me feel like puking. Especially this little friend group of my sister. And this Archbishop, didn't you see how he was looking at me? His gaze disgusts me. How dare he look at my body like that? I really feel like pulling his eyes out right now."
Diana said. It seems she, too, could see how did archbishop look at her. This pig, the way he looked at Diana, made me nauseous as well. I didn't expect to see a pedophile in the ranks of the church.
"Diana, did you sense any connection between Alicia and Archbishop? Something was wrong with the way he and Alicia were behaving. We don't have a bad relationship with the church; this little greedy behavior of the Archbishop doesn't make any sense."
I said to Diana.
"Did you sense that as well, brother? I was going to inform you about that. My spirit informed me that there are some lost souls gathering around this branch of the church, and the condition of Aachen seems a bit weird too. Something was wrong with that, and I informed Mother as well."
She said while looking around.
There really is something wrong with this, and I can sense the dark mana around us getting thicker than normal as well.
Wait, dark mana?
At that moment, I realized something was wrong with this party.
I closed my eyes and started focusing on the mana particles around me.
"Brother? Is something wrong?"
I heard Diana asking but didn't bat an eye.
The moment I closed my eyes, I started sensing mana around us.
'Wait, dark mana particles are moving. This is a bad sign; there shouldn't be this much dark mana in the atmosphere. Something will happen.'
I started following the direction of dark mana particles gathering, and it was showing the roof of the cathedral.
However, the moment I looked there, I could sense it. The fire particles were gathering around there as well.
At that moment, I heard the system sound.
<DING! Host, the quest [Attack on Church] generated.>
/BOOOM/ /BOOM/
Following that were a bunch of explosion sounds…
