Life Of A Nobody - as a Villain-Chapter 321 A murderer

"Let's go to that theme park." Becca said pointing at a castle in the middle of the garden.

Rio, who was getting a little bored playing around, suddenly had his face lit up as he heard that, and agreed readily.

[How come you're more excited about ruining the protagonist than being with her?]

'You're just jealous of me earning points.'

[You know host, if I don't see you occasionally smiling, I'd say you're the biggest edgelord I've seen.]

[Just don't bully the poor kid too much, we still need to pass our time before killing him.]

'Of course, who do you think I am.' Rio said, looking forward to the drama that was about to be unfolded in the grand castle.

'Let's give you another title besides a genius and pervert, my dear protagonist.' Rio said in his heart and smiled. 𝑓𝓇𝘦𝘦𝘸𝘦𝑏𝘯𝑜𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝘤𝑜𝓂

"By the way, isn't there supposed to be a beauty pageant or something in the fresher's party for girls? I heard they put ranks for top 5 boys and top 10 girls." Becca asked while holding two sugar cones in her hands.

Amelia's influence really did turn her into a sweet tooth too.

"That'll happen tomorrow when seniors can participate too." Rio said nonchalantly.

"So do people like go on a stage and walk fashionably or perform, how do they judge?" she asked curiously.

"You can, if you want to, but it's not a necessity." Rio said and explained "Like everyone already knows you or me, so there's no need to for us to show off. But some less famous students do that to increase their votes."

"Hmm, let's do that tomorrow then." Becca said suddenly, causing Rio to halt his steps, and look at her doubtfully. "You serious?" he asked.

"Of course, I am." She replied "I don't wanna lose to anyone else. It'd be bad if the Royal princess lost to some peasant, don't you think?"

"Tell me the real reason." Rio said after hearing her proud words. No way in hell would he believe that bullshit. f(r)eenovelkiss.com

"What_ do you mean? Hehehe _ look we're already here, let's go, from that gate." Becca said embarrassingly and then changed the topic when she couldn't find any excuse.

She couldn't just tell him that she made a bet with Amy and Ayla to win, right? Who knows, this guy might purposefully trick her somehow to make his sister win.

After all, he is quite famous and got a lot of votes on his name too.

Rio looked at her running back and shook his head and followed her. 'Everything's changing for the better.' He thought.

As he stepped in front of the grand castle, walking on the pathway made of snow, the lines from the novel echoed in his ears, as if he could imagine the scene described there like a vivid dream.

The backdrop of the scene was the same castle as now, but the soothing music had stopped and the cheery scene of the event had come to a halt. There in front of a white haired boy were lying bodies of three students brutally murdered, with their flowing blood covering all the magical snow gathered around.

"Did you kill them?" Rebecca asked with a sword drawn over the back of the white haired boy, whose body was trembling in cold fighting the frost spell still affecting him.

"Answer me." She shouted again, pushing the tip of her sword on his exposed neck until a drop of blood trickled down his skin.

"They tried to kill me first." The boy said calmly and turned around, his eyes empty and face emotionless as he raised his gaze to look at the crowd of students surrounding him. He raised his hand to touch his neck, only to show everyone his blood stained fingers that had just taken the lives of their fellow classmates.

"I gave them a choice to turn back and leave, they threatened to _."

"They were just normal students, you could've knocked them out, captured them." Leon shouted in blame, causing his words to stop as other students nodded their heads and declared their views in their whispers.

"You're a murderer." Rebecca said coldly as she sheaths her sword and turned around to leave. Followed by Amelia and Kevin who gave a long look at the dead students and then left without saying anything too.

Rio looked at everyone's leaving back and sat down on the bloody snow, waiting for the instructors to come and do their investigation. Taking a potion from his ring, he raised his suit and poured it onto the sword slash at his bleeding stomach and laid back down. His empty eyes kept looking at the empty sky devoid of any stars until they slowly closed off with a tired breath.

[No one would trust you. No one would listen. You're just the devil they want you to be. Always have been, always will be. A murderer.]

The words of his goddess echoed in his ears as he slowly opened his eyes, only to find himself locked in a small dark chamber, where he would be forced to stay for the next 7 days.

"Hey, you coming or what?" Becca's words caused Rio's train of thought to stop as she pulled his hand and dragged him in.

Shaking his head with a smile, he pushed all his thoughts aside and walked in. None of those things happened yet, and they never will.

Rio had just taken two steps when his eyes inadvertently glanced at a black haired boy walking with a brunette girl, and a cold glint came to his mind.

Kevin and Levi, the brother who took his place in the novel, and the girl, responsible for Amelia's sad future.

He looked behind that duo and found Vanessa and Leon chatting in a corner, while a few nobles kept pointing fingers in their direction with hateful eyes.

In one corner he noticed Edward and Lincoln bullying Damon, by sending him to bring them food and drinks again and again, while laughing at his embarrassed state.

'I'm gonna enjoy this party.' he thought as memories of the novel kept playing in his mind reminding him of how all these guys played some role in Rio's suffering.

'Let's start with you, my dear brother.' he said, looking at Kevin, who suddenly felt a chill down his spine as he looked around carefully but found nothing suspicious.

"What happened, master?" Levi asked as she placed her hand on his shoulder.

"I told you not to call me master. You're not my shadow at the academy, we're classmates. Friends even." Kevin said as he shook his head and looked at her with a gentle smile.

"How can that be, I swore an oath for lifelong loyalty, so you're my master and I'm your shadow as long as I live." Levi returned his gesture but declared her stance in a proud tone, causing Kevin to give a helpless laugh, as he walked away.

"Well then as your master I'm giving you an order, you can't refuse me now."

"But_"

"No buts, as long as we're in the academy you're Levi and I'm Kevin. That's it."

"As you wish." Levi said with downcasted eyes like she was in a dilemma, but finally gave up, and agreed. "Kevin.." She muttered, causing her partner to smile sweetly, as he held her hand and led her on the dance platform.
