The Villain's Side of the Novel

After bidding farewell to Alexander and the others, Fray left the palace, heading to his cart to return to the Parada family's mansion. But just as he was about to get into the carriage, he suddenly heard a voice calling him from behind.

"Master, Parada..."

After hearing his name, Fray turned in the direction of the sound to find Zina and Rokia standing there. "Third Princess," Fray replied, looking at Zina's face, which was looking angelic under the bright moonlight, with an emotionless expression.

"Mr. Parada, I am really grateful for your help. I will certainly return your favor," Zina said with a calm expression while looking at Fray with a strong look.

"…" Fray looked at Zina's confident expression with calm eyes before he let out an inner sigh of relief and said, "Then you should know that you can be useful to me only if Lionar kingdom is in your grip."

"Lionar Kingdom!? But I will not be able to win the succession fight without my power base," Zina said in a low voice, once again trying to maintain her calm expression.

"Then you should bring your power base back," Fray said in a calm voice. As he carefully watched Zina's expressions.

"What!? Do you mean that there is a treatment for my condition?" Zina asked in a loud voice with a surprised expression on her face. Since Zina got this injury, which caused her permanent damage to her energy cores, she began searching for treatment, but without any result, until she completely lost hope.

"Yes, there is a cure. Just search the Royal Library more carefully," said Fray.

(The Royal Library!? But I already searched there) Zina thought in confusion, but despite her thinking for some reason she was sure that Fray's words were trustworthy, so she replied gratefully, "Okay, I will search again, thank you very much."

According to the novel, Zina will be able to find a cure, she will be able to regain her strength, and she will go on to become the queen of the Lionar kingdom and will accomplish many other huge achievements, and her influence on the human continent will become invincible, as she will be the second most powerful character on the continent after Luke in the future, with both influence and strengtlthough Fray can easily heal her using the bed he invented, he actually thought it will be better for her to follow her original fate to finally reach the level that she was in, in the novel.

After hearing Zina's confirmation, Fray turned towards the shy knight who was standing behind her and said, "Rokia!"

"Yes, sir," Rokia replied in a slightly loud voice

"Zina will be your new master for the time being, make sure you protect her well," Fray said

"Yes, sir, don't worry," said Rokia.

Thus, after hearing the confirmation of the two girls, Fray entered the carriage, and under the eyes of the two girls, the cart gradually moved away until it exited the outer door of the palace and completely disappeared from view.

"..." Zina stayed there looking at the place where the carriage had disappeared with a complicated expression on her face and many different feelings in her heart.

----Meanwhile,

In one of the frost forests, known for its cold weather and the dangerous monsters that inhabit it, under one of the many giant trees in the forest, there was a team consisting of six characters, three men and three young women sitting opposite of each other in deep silence, looking with heavy expressions at one of their members, who was a man in his thirties with gray hair and a handsome face who was reading an old newspaper with eyes full of tears.

"Captain, are you okay?" One of the girls asked in a sad voice while looking at the handsome man

"I'm sorry guys, but I have to avenge her. Tomorrow I will leave," said the gray-haired man with a low voice and a sad look on his face.

"Are you serious, Captain? She was a friend of all of us. How can we let you take her revenge alone?" a burly man with a strong physique and a huge beard on his face, said

"Yes, Captain, we will go with you, we will make that bastard regret what he did," said another woman with short orange hair and blue eyes.<novelnext></novelnext>

The gray-haired man who was leading this group looked at the stern expressions of his companions, which made him feel an irresistible warmth and gratitude, before saying, "Thank you, guys."

"Well, then tomorrow we'll start our journey towards Iskar City," said the orange-haired young woman with a fierce look in her eyes.

"…" The white-haired man looked in a certain direction with the same angry look that was in everyone's eyes before lowering his head again and looking at the newspaper in his hands, in which was written an article titled

[The death of the beautiful artist Lady Blanche Neese after angering the head of one of the six ancient families]

*******

Parada family mansion

"Are you sure this is what the master asked for?" asked Casper as he looked at the wooden box that was the size of a palm that was lying on the table in front of them.

"Yes, this is the only box that was similar to the description of the master that was placed there," Rin replied, looking at the box with a blank expression.

"But I don't feel any energy coming from it. Whatever is inside the box, it doesn't contain any energy, which means it's just an ordinary item," Casper said.

"Then why would the Lionar Kingdom bother storing it in such a place if it was just an ordinary item?" Rin said in a soft voice

"Yes, you are right," Casper replied while looking at Rin, admiring his wisdom and talent, which are not compatible with his age. The way Rin dealt with the previous mission made Casper speechless. In fact, Casper's role in this mission was to use his power to create a distraction outside the palace to allow Rin to escape safely. But unexpectedly, Rin managed to exit the palace smoothly without Casper needing any help from Casper.

"Looks like the master has arrived." not long after Casper felt that cold aura that still made him shiver at times in the house.

"Then, let's go," said Rin, before carrying the wooden box and heading with Casper to the basement where Fray was.

"Sir, welcome back," said Rin in a respectful voice after seeing Fray, who was with Kara downstairs

"Sir," said Casper, too, with the same respectful expression

"Did you bring it?" Fray asked, looking at the box in Rin's hand

"Yes, sir, here it is," said Rin, as he handed over the box to Fraith a calm expression on his face, Fray took the box from Rin's hand and said, "Thank you, you did a great job, guys."

"Thank you, sir," Casper and Rin replied with pleased voices.

The box was made of black wood and seemed to be locked in some way, which made Fray use great force only to break its lock.

Crackinhus, Rin and Casper and even Kara opened their eyes curiously as they were waiting for Fray to open the box to see what was inside it, but what they did not expect was that as soon as a small gap opened in the box and as soon as Fray took a peek inside that gap suddenly and Without any warning, Fray fell to the ground, unconscious.

" Master !!" Kara screamed in terror as she looked at Fray's body with shocked eyes.
