I Try To Enjoy My Life But This Woman Keep Calling Me Villain-Chapter 117: Evil Plan

"This is, my lord?"

I smile a little and say.

"It is a protective ring, my lord. I did not say you cannot protect yourself, but there is nothing wrong with extra protection in this trying time. I also have some for your son and Lady Julianna."

I take out two more rings from my pocket (My inventory) and give them to Lord Christoper.

"You don’t need to give me anything, Lord Gwyndolin! What you have done to us is already enough, my lord."

I smile at him and say.

"You are a great host, my lord. This is a gift from me."

Just take it, you bastard. This is my plan to protect you from your son, who wants to kill you and take over your position.

"I know that Lady Julianna likes Ruby, and the ring on the right will be great on her finger. I don’t know Heir Nathaniel very well, but I think a simple but elegant ring should do."

Lord Christoper hesitates for a moment before taking the three rings and saying.

"Thank you so much. We will treasure it."

"Hahahaha. Don’t treasure it. Wear it because it is a magical ring that will protect you. This is a dangerous time, my lord. Any kind of protection will be helpful." 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"You are right. Thank you for thinking of my family."

"Don’t mention it, Lord Christoper."

Lord Christoper nods his head and looks at our group before saying.

"Can I ask where you want to go now? Do you plan to go back to Shadowfall City, or do you want to visit Weepingmoor City?"

I shake my head and say.

"We will be back to Shadowfall City and patrol the area on the way there. The Northern People will return to their home in a week or so."

"Ah, you need to be there to see them off, huh?"

"That’s right. It is not polite to be away when they are starting to go home. They are a comrade in battle, and I must see them return to their home."

Lord Christoper nods his head and says.

"Then I will not hold you any longer. Please send Lord Cunningham my regards."

"Of course. See you at the Harvest Festival, Lord Christoper."

"Of course."

Harvest Festival is an annual festival that happens in the Shadowfall City to celebrate the harvest and show the land and the gods that we are grateful that they still grant us food. My father would send letters to all our vassals to invite them to celebrate it.

"My lord"

I look at Jullian, who is riding his horse behind me.

"Yes?"

"We are far enough, and there is no one following us. Can you tell me what your plan is? The plan is to ensure Lord Christoper and Lady Julianna are alive and kill that little shit."

"Ah! That plan. Well, that plan involves the rings I give him."

"They are not normal rings, huh?"

I smile at Silva and nod.

"You are correct. With the help of Jonathan, I managed to get a blood sample of Nathaniel and bind his blood to the golden ring I gave to Lord Christoper. That ring is called [Ring of Bloody Curse]. A rather bland, right? Well, that ring contains a very unique curse that makes the one get cursed, get their blood boil, and evaporate completely within ten minutes. I made sure that curse was activated when Lord Christoper declared from the bottom of his heart that Nathaniel is no longer his son."

That ring is a quest’s reward. It was something that we collected because my guild mate and I are hoarders and loot goblins. If we get a reward, we make sure to store it. That’s just the way we play. We are the proud Loot Goblin Clan.

Anyway, that ring has a lore. A love that I can use for this scenario. It was a ring of a woman who wanted vengeance on her former lover, a playboy. She gives this ring to that man and manipulates his family to disown him.

The only reason why he is still alive is that he is a great magician (Level 120 Elemental Mage) and can contain that curse long enough for us to take that quest. We get two options in this quest. The first one is to help the poor man and cure the curse by gathering the right ingredients. When we are done with this mission, he will give us quite a bit of money, or... we can report it back to the woman who cursed him, and we get the same ring she made.

As a clan full of Loot Goblins... We choose the second option. If not for the All-Age Rating of the game... It will be a gory sight to behold when the curse activates. Sadly or luckily, he only falls to the ground and disappears into blue light just like any monster that died from battle.

We want gold, but we are loot goblins prioritizing equipment over money; even when the reward is enough to buy a common high-ranking item, we will still take a unique item.

I snap from my thoughts and continue explaining my plan.

"The rings I give to Lord Christoper and Lady Julianna are something that will protect them."

"How, father? I can feel it has a tremendous amount of mana from those rings."

Tremendous? That is true, I guess. I never noticed it, but now Sonia mentions it, I can feel a tremendous amount of mana coming from the ring. I really should look deeper than usual because I don’t want to gather too much attention.

I already get a lot of attention, but there is nothing wrong with ensuring I did not gather more bad attention.

"Those rings will block up to seven fatal attacks, but there are more. The second and most important feature is that it will teleport them into a ’Safe House,’ and I already put the empty room next to mine as the ’Safe House’ target for this teleportation."

I can see the look of understanding from Silva, but there is some confusion in Jonathan, Sonia, and Jullian’s eyes.

"That leaves the problem of protecting Lord Christoper and Lady Julianna. This leaves us the problem of that man still alive because I don’t think Lord Christoper will utter the word of that little shit as not his son. At least, I don’t think so."

"Oh, no. That is a great side effect if Lord Christoper is willing to declare that. What I want to get from this plan is the Casus Belli to declare that Nathaniel is a traitor, and we can move our soldiers and ask the Blackmore soldiers not to support him. He is not a likable person, and I have a feeling the soldiers will listen to us instead of him."

Jullian thought for a few seconds before his eyes lit up.

"Ah! You want to be the one killing him!"

I smile at him, nod my head, and say.

"That is right. I would rather he died from the curse, but it was only a ’just in case’ plan if he managed to run away or something, and I’m too lazy to track him down. I know that you and Jonathan are willing to do it and enjoy it in the case of Jonathan..."

I look at Jonathan, who gives us beautiful innocent smiles that not a single person in my group will trust. I can only shake my head and chuckle a little.

"Sadly, I don’t want us to waste our time with him and rather spend our time doing something productive like hunting monsters or sparring."

"Or practicing noble etiquette, Gwyn. Don’t forget that because my dear mother asked me to teach you about it because she said that she teaches you, but you always have a magical way to run away from her."

Silva’s dear mother is also known as my mother. My mother always tries to teach me noble etiquette, such as correctly bowing, holding your utensil, and talking to a higher noble.

That kind of training always makes my body go into a cramp for some reason and leaves my body sore after only a few hours of training. I don’t know how because I once trained for twenty hours straight, which is not as bad as the noble etiquette training.

"I really hope that you forget that."

"Fufufufu~ I already made a promise to my dear mother, and I’m intending to fulfill that promise."

I can only groan while Jullian and Jonathan look at me in confusion. After a second of looking at each other, Jullian looks at me and says.

"The noble etiquette is not that bad, right? I once saw Sonia practicing it, and it did not look bad."

I look at Jullian in shock, and I can see Jonathan nodding his head in agreement. I look at them for a few seconds before an evil idea comes into my head. I quickly look at Silva and say.

"I will willingly come to the Noble Etiquette training as long as the two of them come as well."

Silva looks at Jonathan and Jullian for a few seconds before slowly nodding her head.

"That is an easy enough request."

After hearing that word, I cannot help but laugh evilly.
