A Terminally Ill Villainess Refuses To Be Adopted

The moment when the North family’s trackers noticed the traces of Raven, fortunately, came quickly.

“Call the manor.”

As soon as the Commander saw traces of Raven’s blood magic, he immediately eliminated them and contacted the others that he had found the traces.

It was Luke, the free-spirited and wild, but loyal Knight Commander.

He thought of the Little Lord, who looked exactly like their Lord, no, who had even more superhuman powers.

A very cold, indifferent, and even though he was still a child, a Little Lord who could spew killing intent with his little eyes.

However, he was always trying to do the hard work by himself, so he was always a heartbreaking and at the same time a precious existence for all of them.

Not everyone grew up receiving a nice upbringing, so they rarely treat others with kindness. The only expression of affection most of them knew was absolute loyalty.

Even though he didn’t know how to do it, he reflected on the past when he didn’t try to demonstrate even a little bit of it.

Does he knows how desperately everyone wanted to see him after losing the Little Master like that?

“……”

The Knight Commander looked at the distant sky with fond eyes and then moved.

To meet his little master.

Raven North woke up in Evelyn’s house.

It had been about three days since he fell asleep because of the wounds of the magic pattern.

“……Bell.”

He unconsciously called Evelyn’s nickname, but the person in question was sleeping next to him.

Right by his side.

“…?”

Raven, who found Evelyn’s face, slightly raised the corners of his mouth, and belatedly realizing the situation he opened his eyes wide.

Freaking out, he pulled his butt to the limit of the opposite side of Evelyn and ended up crashing down the bed.

If the vassals of North Castle saw this, it would be a terrific sight.

Holding his breath and swallowing a scream, Raven peeped his head above the bed.

He quietly fixed his gaze on Evelyn.

Almost all of it had disappeared now but when the pattern appeared, the instantaneous pain it inflicted was extreme.

He barely endured his reason from breaking apart and attacking her in a frenzy.

Because he didn’t want to hurt Evelyn.

At that time, he immediately thought of his mother, and also his dog-like father, whom he hadn’t seen often because he was always busy subjugating monsters and commuting to and from the capital.

Raven was discouraged. He didn’t want to leave Evelyn’s side in this way.

‘You can’t kill her. If so, intimidation. Yes, I have to threaten her. That much is alright.’

However, at that point, his heart was empty and colder than the pain he felt in his body.

But then, this stupid and selfless kid hid him.

A sleeping girl filled the vision in his golden eyes.

No blankets, no ceilings, nothing, only Evelyn.

“…..”

Evelyn’s silver hair was definitely unusual in the Empire, where most people were dark-haired.

She was pale with pure white skin and dense facial features as if she lived without seeing sunlight.

When she opens her eyes, you can see violet-like eyes.

Raven frantically looked at Evelyn’s face with an intriguing look without realizing it.

A small breath that exhales in a constant tempo. Slightly trembling eyelids and long eyelashes that look like the wings of a butterfly.

She was alive, but she was so small and skinny that she looked like a doll.

Raven slowly blinked his eyes. Even if there is no need to do so, it was careful and slow, as if the blink of an eye would make a sound.

And he did that for a while so.

He then flicked his eyes down and looked at his body.

“Ah.”

And he found traces of the medicine that had been meticulously applied. His physical condition had been the best so far in recent times.

The traces of applying the medicine were filled with sincerity.

“…If you’re this gentle I will fall for it.”

Raven was a little surprised when he uttered such words without realizing it. The boy who quickly looked at Evelyn again sighed in relief after a while.

Su-su-.

Evelyn didn’t move an inch, as if she was in a deep sleep.

I’m glad she didn’t wake up.

But he was very unfamiliar with himself who thought that way.

‘I should go work out.’

Raven, not knowing that he was hungry, went straight to the backyard.

***

A smooth movement followed slowly along the familiar gestures of his body.

The swordsmanship of the North family was so beautiful that it would not be considered inferior to the most graceful sword dancings of elegant tribes.

After a long time had passed.

“Haa…….”

He took a deep breath and straightened his posture.

This time, what he did was perform for the first time since he came here, the sword dance of the family.

In the old days, the progenitor of the North family was called the Demon King. 

People know him as a demon, but in fact, in the secret library of the North family, he was called a human.

A human from another dimension.

The black-haired absolute ruler who used the martial arts called the Dark Arts.

Because of his different origins, when he came to this world, he became a different race. There were other ethnic groups that are sometimes born that way.

Anyway, the progenitor died as a Demon King.

That is the reason why only the North family falls into a frenzy and ends up becoming the Devil King.

It was said that he was the leader of the Dark Arts Sect, and when I asked what it meant, my father said it was similar to a leader of a church that uses magic to fight.

(Note: Guys, too many Wuxia terms in this whole line. I’m as lost as Raven, I dunno if what I translated is right, Wuxia is beyond my areas of translation, but I tried my best.)

I couldn’t understand everything, but father said I just needed to know that he was a great person.

When that Leader came to this world and stood on the side of the different exotic races, he founded the North Family and worked together to protect and conceal them.

Instead of subjugating everything in their way and being easily swayed by emotions, their mighty martial arts were being used to protect the brilliant and fragile ones.

Although they were called villains because they did not hesitate to do anything to achieve that goal.

“Whoo.”

In any case, it was a sword dance that cannot be shown anywhere else.

Raven, who was taking a deep breath, felt something strange. Obviously, he was in a sealed state now, so magic shouldn’t work.

‘My body itself feels a little lighter.’

Did I lose weight? There was not much difference to confirm that.

In fact, it happened while he ate the grassy soup with Evely for a while, but Raven didn’t know.

The power of chaos has an excellent ability to harmonize heterogeneous blood and magic with its opposite side.

Of course, he shouldn’t eat too much, though.

Raven didn’t know that anyway, so he stopped thinking about it when he went inside, knowing it was time for breakfast.

“Today, I’m the one who will make it.”

He wanted to try making porridge, not soup. Evelyn didn’t allow him to touch the food and albeit he didn’t know what porridge actually was, he knew when it was made.

But today, Evelyn must also be tired and he was confident he had learned how to make it above her shoulders.

Because he’s quick to learn.

He made sure of the amount of water, and how much of the proportions of the ingredients he should mix. Raven moved like a machine imitating exactly what Evelyn did.

He cunningly raised the corners of his lips to the finished food.

And…

“……”

“……”

Evelyn, who ran out because Raven was not by her side, saw the expression.

The awkward Raven said.

“Eye boogers are stuck in your eyes.”

“What? Ah!”

Evelyn took off her eye booger in a panic. Then she tilted her head as to why she was embarrassed and looked at Raven again.

The annoying smile he had before was gone.
