Seduced the Doomed Villain (New Translation Ver)

Just being in contact with Rodrick made her feel so good that she couldn't suppress the corners of her mouth rising on their own.

No, that's not it. Well, there's no need to look at me with eyes that say, "What, is there such a crazy woman?"

"Excuse me. Your Grace."

"..."

Ignoring Diana, Rodrick turned around and began searching for an exit while surveying the surroundings.

"Your Grace. How did you get in here? Did you perhaps follow the crow to find this place?"

"..."

Rodrick consistently ignored her and focused only on his task. Diana quietly watched him and shrugged. She slowly approached him.

She still didn't know much about him.

The older brother of the secondary male lead. Cursed with madness. Dies by self-destruction on the battlefield.

With that level of information, she couldn't properly understand this man. She needed to approach carefully.

If she accidentally offended him, it might become impossible to approach him. But if she's in a hurry right now, she might just pounce on him.

Her eyes, now accustomed to the darkness, spotted stairs.

"Hey, there are stairs...!"

Before Diana could finish her exclamation, Rodrick, who had spotted the stairs first, strode past her with long steps.

"Your Grace, let's go together!"

Always be cautious with deals. Before negotiating about the curse, should she try to get closer to him? She tried to strike up a conversation, but there was no response.

She was worried about the missing Noel, but she had faith that the child who could use magic would be in a safe place.

Given that their positions had switched with Rodrick's, it was likely that Noel was outside the castle.

Surely he wouldn't have fallen into a place with monsters like this? It was really terrifying when the child rushed at the werewolf.

"Wait. Princess."

"Yes?"

Lost in thought as she walked, Diana bumped her nose into Rodrick's broad back as he suddenly stopped.

"Ah."

Before he could say anything, another magic circle activated under their feet. Ah, please. Let's stop this. The traps here are really endless.

'♬~♩~♪'

The sound of a music box was heard.

The magic circle transported them to a familiar space. It was the west corridor where she had been walking with Noel.

Rodrick was visible in the misty space. Diana swallowed a sigh.

Is it starting again? There's no need to find the cursed doll anymore. Now we just need to escape.

We need to escape the castle before we can try anything. She was pondering how to entice this man.

Chak- Something damp and cool grabbed her hand.

Diana's face turned pale in an instant. This isn't... No, it can't be.

"Um, excuse me. Your Grace. No, Young Master? Commander?"

One of Rodrick's eyebrows rose obliquely at Diana's fluctuating forms of address.

"Is there something next to me by any chance?"

Rodrick, who had been looking indifferently at her as tears welled up in her eyes, answered briefly.

"Yes. When did this little one appear?"

"Pardon?"

She looked down at the pale child holding her hand with a creaking neck.

[Mom?]

"Kyaak!"

Unknowingly letting out a scream, she quickly clung to Rodrick. He frowned as if displeased.

"Let go of this. Princess."

"No, just a moment! It's not like you're going to wear out!"

[Mom? Aren't you mom?]

The little child who had been staring up blankly started to whimper, then immediately narrowed his eyes fiercely as if angry. The expanded black pupils were horrifying in themselves.

The eerie feeling of being pricked all over by needles was unsettling.

As the child became angry, magic circles formed here and there.

The magic circles that activated all around spread out threateningly, as if reflecting the child's mood. It was a situation where they didn't know where they would be taken or what kind of monster might pop out.

"Oh, I am your mom!"

[Really?]

As the child tilted his head, one of the magic circles disappeared.

"Oh my, mom was just so surprised that she was late to answer. I'm sorry."

Diana grabbed Rodrick's arm while sweating profusely. The child stared at that arm for a while, then looked up at Rodrick.

[Is this dad?]

"Oh. Yes. This is dad. Haha. My husband is so handsome."

She gave an awkward smile to his cold gaze that seemed to say, "What are you doing?"

This man. He's cursing with his eyes right now. Diana swallowed dryly and whispered quietly.

"Please play along. It seems like that child is activating the magic circles."

As she said, when the child's mood settled, the magic circles spread out all around disappeared.

[Dad doesn't get along well with mom?]

"No? We get along so well. Don't we, honey?"

She clung tightly to his solid arm. Indeed, this man was definitely her cure. She could feel her strength returning the more she stayed close to him.

As she leaned on him, subtly satisfying her personal desires, she saw his hand moving towards his sword.

"Ah, wait!"

Before she could stop him, Rodrick's sword slashed across the child's neck. She was at a loss for words at his precise diagonal movement.

She had heard he was obsessed with slaughter, but to be so merciless even to a child.

However, the child didn't disappear and was hanging from his sword, smiling as if playing on a horizontal bar.

Her face turned pale at the sight of the child, who looked as if he was playing on playground equipment.

She never knew a child's giggling laughter could be so chilling.

Tsk. Rodrick clicked his tongue and lowered his sword.

"You should let go too."

No, I'm too scared to let go.

"Your Grace, just a moment. Please act like a real couple for a bit. Okay?"

Diana desperately clung to him. If he were an ordinary man, he might have agreed to this much, but he was different.

"You'll do it, right? Honey?"

She winked, asking him to play along, but his expressionless face hardened even more.

"Are you crazy?"

"I'm perfectly sane?"

"Or about to go crazy."

Rodrick pressed Diana's forehead with one finger.

"Let go."

This man. His behavior is becoming increasingly rude. It was certainly not how one should act towards a noble lady. Of course, her behavior was rude to begin with.
