I Am The Game's Villain Chapter 50 [Event] [Which Weapon?] [2] An Old Scammer?

"Where should we go first?"

Milleia asked.

I elbowed Jayden while he was daydreaming.

Wake up, seduce her and awaken her bloodline!

I was getting tired of helping Jayden go out with Milleia. He was too soft.

"!"

Understanding what I wanted, he approached Milleia.

"H-How about we look for swords first? You told it was your first choice, right?"

Jayden asked with a smile.

At least he seed confident.

"A-Ah, thanks…"

Milleia nodded shyly, surprised by Jayden's sudden approach.

I nodded, satisfied.

It was going well for now.

"What are you doing?"

Lyra leaned and whispered to .

As expected, she noticed what I was trying to do.

"Helping my friend to hook up with my other friend."

"Do you think I will believe you?"

Lyra asked in total disbelief that I could be this benevolent.

"You surely have a reason to do that. You might have changed a little, but it's just a little. Your arrogance and the way you think highly of yourself hasn't diminished a bit."

"..."

It was harsh.

"Do you have a problem with that?"

I answered with a question.

"Jayden is interested in Milleia and Milleia isn't uncomfortable with Jayden."

I leaned as well to reach Lyra's ear.

What perfu is she using? It sure slls good.

[]

Ah.

I recovered and spoke.

"I won't believe either that you are worried about Milleia, Lyra. You have a reason as well and I think I know what it is."

"Oh? And what could it be?"

Lyra kept her smile.

"She has Raphiel's bloodline."

"!"

Lyra's smile vanished and was replaced by shock.

Because I shouldn't have known that.

Only a few selected ones were made aware of that and I should certainly not be on the short list because, well, I was Edward.

But that reaction.

Could it be that when she greeted Aurora and my siblings a few minutes ago, she asked them whether I knew about Milleia or not?

Yeah, it must be that.

Since the beginning, she must have been wary that I had beco friends with Milleia and Jayden.

What I wanted to know though was another thing.

"Tell Lyra."

"..."

Lyra's face beca serious.

"Are you playing the friend for your own profit or because you are afraid of what I could do to her?"

There was no way she would believe my change just because I helped them in the cafeteria.

Maybe she would never believe it until the end.

She was a noble lady, a high-ranking one, the daughter of a Marquis. From her young age, she was raised to be a perfect woman. I know because I was raised like that as well. Believe no one more than yourself. It was one of the most important rules among nobles.

Lyra was silent for a few seconds before plastering her smile again.

"I'm not 'playing' the friend, Edward."

She stepped back from .

"I genuinely appreciate Milleia."

She glanced at Milleia speaking to Jayden behind .

"I admit it was for a selfish reason at first, but as a noble I can't trick such a person. You understand, Edward? I like her and I hope you don't have any ill intentions towards her."

There was a hint of threat in her words.

"..."

I just looked at her calmly.

Yeah, it was the true Lyra.

In novels or mangas, she would have been the typical girl changing her views on in a day, but it was real life now. She had been on guard since the beginning.

"I have my own reasons for getting them together. I don't have any obligations to reveal to you anything, Lyra. If you are so worried about what I could do, then keep monitoring like you have been doing since yesterday."

I said and walked away.

"Edward, where are you going?"

Milleia asked but I ignored her.

"Leave it, Milleia. Let's pick a weapon for you! Right, Jayden?"

Lyra pushed Milleia with a smile.

"A-Ah, yes!"
