Becoming the Villainess: Working Behind the Scenes to Make My Bias Shine - Chapter 3

The Heart of an Otaku, Bias Won’t Understand

During the time I looked away, Albert had finished dressing the wound quickly and put his clothes back on.

Uu, I don’t regret missing the chance to see his abs at all.

“The reason why I’m working as an attendant is quite simple, you know. Of course it’s because being a senior servant in a mansion is far more stable and decent than working in the underworld”

“Thank you for your honest answer. In that case, I told you I’d introduce you to other jobs, didn’t I?”

“Other jobs? In a company or association that you’ve invested in under another name? I’m already involved in most of the businesses you run so isn’t it too late for that? Besides”

Having said that much, he gave me a cold look with dismay.

“You haven’t forgotten, have you? My constitution”

“…..The offer earlier was a suggestion after taking that into account though?”

As a side effect of the experiments, he’ll get sick if he doesn’t take blood at least once a month.

Even when I looked up at him with reproachful half-lidded eyes, Albert just raised his eyebrows a little.

Sure enough, he blatantly changed the subject.

He really should care more about his health..

“Well, leave that aside for now. I’m a dhampir. There’s almost no chance for me to become a butler at a marquis household in the midst of all the discrimination”

“But it’s just a sinking boat now”

“But the place to evacuate has already been prepared. I properly arranged it!”

My hearty whispers didn’t move Albert a bit. Dang you.

You stupid super attendant who can do anything I ask you to do. I love this condescending altitude!

Though, it’s not clear who’s the master like this.

No, I’m fangirling for my bias so my standing is already weaker?

As I was about to fall into a spiral of thoughts, suddenly, Albert in front of me returned to a serious expression.

It’s really good to see this slightly cold face tighten up earnestly.

10 years ago, I unconsciously burst out crying when I first saw the difference of the expressions  which I’d only seen on a screen.

Because the person I could only see through a screen was standing in front of me! Of course I’d be moved!?

“Eldia sama on the other hand. Is it okay? No one will know how long you’ve been assisting those incompetent people until this point”

“Obviously? For me, it’s fine as long as my biases are happy! There’s no greater reward than that!”

“What is this person who’s raised the standard of living of the entire kingdom on top of investing in numerous businesses and circulating the economy just for the sake of her biases, even saying?”

“Thankfully, the results turned out okay. If I don’t contribute, my bias supply will be no more and I don’t want that!”

This is serious.

Because, you know!? If there was no magic that should’ve been there in the game, or if the technologies didn’t exist, wouldn’t you be shocked!? The funds mainly went into the research institute in order to proceed according to the scenario.

I didn’t want to get exposed as the villainous princess and so I had a substitute, but then, the story of the mysterious investor took on a life on its own, which was a huge miscalculation.

As an ordinary OL, there was no way I could manage internal affairs and management like the main character of a story. (*OL=Office Lady)

All I did was to throw the money that was being stored away at Euclair into the areas which my biases needed.

I’ve thought, “I can spend this much money? Am I dreaming?” but I’m glad it’s proceeding like the scenario due to this.

“…..For the time being, let’s talk about the plans from here?”

As I was thinking deeply, Albert gave me a small sigh and diverted the conversation.

Does he want to ask me about that? Sometimes, I feel that the way I get treated is a little too crude but let’s not think about that.

“First of all, with this, the Euclair family will be stripped of their title. But Eldia will disappear from Euclair’s mansion before being escorted to her place of confinement. In other words, the next few days are our best chance to disappear from the public eye”

After this, Eldia went missing, leaving a bad taste in the mouth. The rumors were that she died or she joined the enemies, demons. Nevertheless, she doesn’t appear in the main story for a while after this.

Yes, this is the only time I can live freely as the villainous princess without the risk of changing the scenario.

I can finally graduate from my role as the villainous princess! I’ve worked so hard to get to this point.

“In short, everything is as planned”

“Understood. I’ll make the final preparations when we arrive at the mansion”

I was trembling with excitement at the prospect of my freedom, but Albert’s usual acknowledgement brought me back to my senses.

“Umm, you’re tagging along as if it’s obvious but is it really okay?”

I feel lighter emotionally since we’re going to share the future from now on.

However, Albert was originally supposed to be on the hero’s side.

If I’d followed the game, he would’ve gone from being a shady assassin to being in the light to be appreciated by many people eventually.

I’d hinted to him about that before this condemnation event, but I became a little confused because he was talking about the future with me so naturally.

I love to see my biases do their best in the face of adversity, but more than that, I want them to be happy.

Although I’ll be freed from the villainous princess role if I do well from now on, I’ll never get on the front stage again.

No, I mean, I’m a fan and all. I just happened to get the part so I did my best, but by all rights, I’m a person who should not even be on the stage.

Shouldn’t I persuade him for his sake or something? I can’t shake those feelings away.

Seemingly unaware of my thoughts, Albert looked slightly doubtful and then placed his hand next to my head with a thud.

It was a variant of the kabe-don. I was startled. (*Kabe-don=wall slam)

Then, Albert tilted his head slightly as if he was amazed from the bottom of his heart.

“Oya? This face of mine, have you got tired of it?”

“Huh, it’s a face that I can’t get tired of no matter how many times I look at it but so what!?”

I’m seething with all of my expressions.

This precious face is on the level that people can look at it forever and not get tired of it.

…..ah! I replied without thinking!

I came back to my senses and panicked, but Albert looked calm and drew away.

“You can keep admiring your ‘bias’ carefreely. It’s fine”

“Uwah, such a horrible thing to say, Mr. Attendant. I’m the master, you know? It’s me!”

“I know you are…. Look, we’ve arrived. Please, take my hand”

“…..Wait, my heart raced considerably just now so wait”

“You really like the game me, don’t you?”

I feel like he whispered something at the end.

Albert, who behaved gracefully without a trace of being injured, was an attendant so perfect it kind of made me seethe.
