I doubted my ears.

 

'What? Mathieu?'

 

Matthew, Isaac, who appeared as a villain throughout the original story?

 

'Come to think of it, black eyes, black hair, black skin....'

 

Glancing at his face my mouth opened wide.

 

'It's real.'

 

I jumped up and started to point at the swindler.

 

Kong!

 

'Right. I was in a carriage.'

 

Sitting down again after hitting my head against the ceiling of the carriage, I began protesting against him.

 

"No, Excuse me!"

 

"Yes."

 

Mathieu, no Isaac answered with a calm face.

 

Okay. To be honest, I didn't expect the extra to be this handsome! But that isn't it!

 

"Then, what about Henry? Aren't you Henry's father?"

 

"Ah. Henry is the magician of the tower. Of course, I'm his guardian."

 

'Oh, my. Crazy.·····.'

 

Yeah, come to think of it, he never once agreed to the word 'father'.

 

He just called himself a guardian.

 

"I heard you're doing research at the academy!"

 

"Yes. I'm doing research at the tower."

 

'I've never seen such a clever con artist.'

 

At this ridiculous moment, I realized Dominic's feelings.

 

'Did Dominic feel this way when he saw my abandoned building?'

 

You should be nicer to Dominic.

 

'I can't believe you're living with a con artist like me....?'

 

I looked at him and muttered with a puzzled face.

 

"Somehow you are so handsome!"

1

Then he smiled lightly and raised a large hand to cover his lips.

 

You can cover your lips, but not your face.

 

His playful eyes clearly showed a smiling face.

 

"Haha. I'm sorry I deceived you. There was a reason."

 

No, how can you say that so handsomely......

 

I hurriedly opened the window of the carriage and allowed the cold wind blow in.

 

After taking a few deep breaths, my mind came back.

 

"I'm curious about one more thing. How did you know Carat?"

 

"Carat, like Henry, is a wizard belonging to our tower."

 

He answered all my questions sincerely.

 

The more I listened to him, the more he did not seem to be the villain who had no feelings described in the original.

 

What you see in the novel is definitely different from what you see in reality, isn't it.

 

'So this is the master of the tower......'

 

While exploring his handsome face I was suddenly reminded of the ability that the Tower Master had which was described in the original work.

 

I tend to turn my head very quickly only for gains.

 

 

 

'Wait a minute. If you are the tower master, you're an alchemist, right?'

 

The very alchemist I've been looking for all along, who can develop my rat-sized mana!

 

I seriously squinted my eyes and looked at him.

 

All right, how the hell should I bring it up?

 

"You know. You fooled me, right?"

 

"Yes."

 

He looked at me as if its daytime, as if he were measuring me then he moved his eyes near my neck.

 

Ouch, the sound of grinding teeth was briefly heard.

 

"Then... I have a request To ask of you."

 

He looked me in the eye as if he was telling me to speak.

 

I'm not good at talking back and forth, I preferred to hit a fastball. (TN- meaning she doesn't like to beat around the bush, instead she likes to say it like it is)

 

"You're an alchemist, aren't you? Please teach me alchemy, too!"

 

It is a well-known fact that the Tower Master, Isaac, is an alchemist. I've never seen the use of alchemy skills in the original work.

 

'Anyway, it's certain that this man is a well-known alchemist, right?'

 

This man may be able to teach me how to deal with mana.

 

I looked at him with greedy eyes.

 

There is no fool in the world who will miss the 1st place lottery paper he picked up along the way.

 

'If you don't want to do it, you should ask me to hold your bottom or introduce me to an alchemist you know.'

 

Blazing.

 

Facing my eyes which where burning with determination, he smiled brightly.

 

"Is that all you want?"

 

"For now."

 

If you could do anything else, I would be grateful.

 

"Teach me."

 

"······?"

 

"Now I can intervene in your revenge drama, right?"

 

"······What?"

 

Well, that was a bit of a weird question.

 

"I want to be good friends."

 

He looked at me with his characteristic smile, which was still languid.

 

Just by breathing he looks dangerous, but seeing his gaze on her made her choke a little.

 

'Are you seducing me right now?'

 

"······It sounds like you will get revenge for me."

 

I'm about to ask you if you're in love with me.

 

"We are lucky."

 

His dangerous face came right in front of mine.

 

"It sounds like the person you're trying to get revenge on and the person I'm looking for are exactly the same."

 

He whispered with an unknown face.

 

Come to think of it, before going to the ball, he said that the thief he was looking for was going to visit the ball.

 

"So you're saying that Duke Hessmann is a thief? Did he damage your stuff?"

 

I groaned and cursed.

 

 

"That crazy jerk."

 

It is almost at the level of achieving the Grand Slam.

 

'It's good if I add the power of the Tower Master.'

 

In the original, he tried to kill Lenox.

 

Is it the same now?

 

Actually, I don't know Isaac very well.

 

However, he did not appear to be cold-blooded enough to kill others just because they had stolen things.

 

Suddenly, I wondered why such a sweet and handsome man was stigmatized as a villain and even tried to kill Lenox.

 

'......It may just be curiosity that passes by.'

 

I wish him luck.

 

"I guess the stolen items must have been very valuable."

 

He, who was silent for a while, nodded and answered seriously.

 

"Yes. It still keeps bothering me...... It was."

 

With that much motivation, it is alright to hold out my hand and get revenge together.

 

I looked at him and nodded seriously.

 

'·····I have knowledge of the original, so it's good to live with this man, right? He can continue to teach me alchemy!'

 

Let's think about it.

 

There is only one way for the two of us to survive together.

 

Then he shouldn't act to deal with Lenox as suddenly as he did in the original!

 

I spoke seriously to him.

 

"Then we'll take revenge together. But there are conditions."

 

His singing voice resonated grazed my ears.

 

"What is it?"

 

"When you deal with the Duke of Hessmann, you have to consult with me no matter what. Same as......"

 

How exactly should I describe this man.

 

'With the same villain? The same villain?'

 

His calm wind-like voice fluttered in my ears as if a fish thorn was stuck in his throat.

 

"·······the same side."

 

It was a simple answer.

 

"Right, we're on the same side."

 

I nodded my head as I hummed along with the words.

 

'Same side.'

 

I like the nuance of it.

 

He finished the words for me and put the white bird in the pocket of my dress. (TN – from what I read a white bird is a symbol meaning peace in Korea so I'm thinking this sentence is meaning that Mel is feeling at piece since Isaac is on her side )

 

"Then call me when you're in danger."

 

"What?"

 

He said again after arranging my hair, which was slightly disturbed by the wind blowing through the open window.

 

"Will you promise me?"

 

Without thinking I nodded then stopped.

 

"Oh...... Yes."

 

I was possessed by his appearance again.

 

I hurriedly took my eyes off him and muttered while looking out the window.

 

"By the way..."

 

"Yes."

 

"Wouldn't it become an issue?"

 

"Are you worried about that?"

 

Lenox had a happy family with Sheria in the original.

 

However, my unexpected behavior may now make it impossible to build a family.

 

"No, I guess he'll be a eunuch."

1

He smiled low and suddenly spoke seriously.

 

"If you want, I'll make it happen for you."

 

I nodded and smiled wickedly like a villain.

 

Yeah, I can't see his son farm flourishing!
