Reincarnated As The Villainess's Son

[<Why are you picking a fight with him?>]

'I am not.'

Looking away from the wolf Casper, I replied to Inna.

'I just don't like him.'

[<You just met him though.>]

'I know him from the game, he is a piece of shit.'

One of the reasons why Amaury turned out the way he is now.

Casper always encouraged him, using his daughter as bait to make him work harder.

Had it not been for their negligence, they wouldn't have died in the game.

"Ahem."

'But I can't say Amaury wasn't at fault.'

I mean, he did do some fucked up shit even though it was out of jealousy from Elijah.

"Ahem!"

Things would have been a lot better if he had just been a little more rational.

'Anyway, where is he?'

I wondered, looking around at the second floor.

And—.

It only took me a glance to find him, sitting alone in the corner.

His cat-like blue eyes staring at Elijah and Heather standing on the dance floor.

His face grim as he gulped down more of the wine.

"Ahem! Ahem!"

'Look at this guy.'

Acting like some kind of heartbroken—.

"Stop ignoring me...."

Zenith grumbled, standing on her toes to get my attention.

I smiled as I glanced down at her. "What happened?"

I squeezed her hand gently, that had become sweaty.

"Don't worry about it," I said, keeping my calm. "Focus on me and nothing else."

She slowly nodded.

Now, her eyes remained solely on me.

'...Why am I doing this?'
