Chapter 34: The Villainess’s Magic Tower Experience(3)

In the Golden Magic Tower Library, known as the essence of knowledge, there is a legend.

A legend that demons live in the place where forbidden books are kept.

The truth is, no one knows.

Even the Magic Tower Lord is prohibited from entering the place where forbidden books are kept.

No, even if she tries to enter, she can’t.

Just grabbing the doorknob would teleport her outside the library, making her so angry that she almost blew up the library.

I scanned her, who was looking at such a place with interested eyes.

Her, who stole the Demon King’s heart.

The strange energy I felt when I entered the lab.

When I checked the Demon King’s heart in the glass tube, it was perfectly identical from the appearance to the energy, but it was different.

When I see the real Demon King’s heart, I feel a thrilling sensation, but when I see the fake, I don’t feel anything.

It’s a sensual part that I can’t express in words, but I could tell. That it was fake.

I would have just given it to her if she had asked, but she stole it while I was unconscious.

I felt a sense of betrayal at that fact.

While looking up at her who is now on top of me.

“You seem to be quite relaxed? Enough to be thinking about other things?”

“N, no, that’s not….”

She blocks my mouth with her hand as if to say she won’t listen to excuses.

It’s a chilling feeling.

“I taught you that when you do something wrong, you shouldn’t make excuses, but apologize, right?”

“Hhhng….”

Every time I feel her touch, I go crazy.

As if she knows my weakness perfectly, she is focusing on attacking only the weak points…

“St, stop…”

“That’s not right. You should use polite language, not informal language, right?”

“I, I was wrong….”

A being that makes me use honorifics that I have never used in my entire life.

I clung to my beloved her and pleaded, almost begging.

The last gaze of her I saw before losing consciousness –

It was empty.

As if she would disappear at any moment.

I reached out my hand to her, but couldn’t reach.

Mentally or physically.

Hoo, she finally fainted.

To put the Magic Tower Lord, who is more energetic than I thought, to sleep, I fed her high-proof wine and even added some drugs.

Still, she lasted for over an hour.

After laying the Magic Tower Lord on the bed and covering her with a blanket, I left the room and headed to the library.

Are these mages nocturnal? As I walked down the hallway late at night, there were quite a few people who asked me, ‘Are you lost? Can I help you?’.

Rejecting them all, I entered the library and there were still mages left.

Erasing my presence and approaching the place where forbidden books are kept, I felt the energy.

The moment I put my hand on the doorknob where a very familiar energy is felt.

Pushing away the surging energy, the space instantly shifted.

Pitch-black darkness where nothing can be seen.

Creating lights bright enough to illuminate all directions and floating them in the air, the interior was clearly visible.

A place where old books are kept in one place.

Forbidden books, each emitting unusual energies, in this unbelievable place that seems to be at least hundreds, no, thousands.

Just as the question of how on earth they collected all of this arose, a book popped out with a vibration that shook the ground.

As I was looking at a book floating in the air, it opened by itself and a being revealed itself from within.

Something very small and cute appeared.

“Greetings! My new vessel!”

Without any preamble, it called me its new vessel, scanned my body, and exclaimed ‘This vessel is not bad!’ – I stared intently at the tiny being, and it seemed to realize something and went back into the book?

And after a while, it reappeared from the book, appearing while fluttering a fancy cloak.

“Greetings! This body is one of the seven Demon Kings who rule the Demon Realm! I am the Demon King!”

“Is your family name Ma and your given name Wang?”

“Foolish one! There’s no way!”

A being that flails its arms and gets angry cutely.

The small being with long black hair and red eyes that shine brightly was angry for a long time, and then out of breath as if tired, its appearance is cute.

Indeed.

That kind of appearance is best seen on the bed.

“Hoo, hoo. M, more than that, my new vessel. Why is it that you are half-baked?”

Half-baked.

As expected of a real Demon King, it knows the fact that I only used half of the Demon King’s heart.

When I looked at it with interested eyes, she pondered something deeply.

“Hmm, should I just take away the half-baked body for now? Or should I raise it and eat it? That is my dilemma.”

Raise and eat… How lewd.

After pondering for a long time, she looked at me, and her eyes changed.

And in an instant, she approached me and placed her hand on my head.

“I have decided. I am curious about the outside world. I shall take over now.”

With those words, darkness came in an instant.

The world went dark.

When I opened my eyes, the whole world was gray.

It wasn’t the place where forbidden books were kept, but an unfamiliar place.

No, it’s not unfamiliar. I know this place.

The world in the novel I was possessed into 10 years ago, and Aria Theres’s family.

Theres ducal family’s mansion.

But something is strange.

The statue I broke 5 years ago was visible.

The fountain I broke 3 years ago is also intact.

The glass garden I broke last year was also visible.

What on earth is going on, I was thinking, when a young girl running towards me in the distance came into view.

A girl with unkempt hair and wearing old clothes due to neglect.

It was exactly the same appearance as right before I was possessed.

Regardless of my will, I followed the young girl, and she was seen entering an old room like a warehouse located inside the mansion.

I remember.

I lived in this room right after I was possessed.

Carefully opening the doorknob and entering, the scenery of the room was a place unbelievable for a duke’s daughter to live in.

Dust fluttering everywhere, old furniture, and a girl covering herself with a rug-like blanket, looking at me like a startled rabbit.

“Wh, who are you?”

“…….”

As I stared at her without saying anything, a knock was heard and a maid entered.

“Young lady, I have brought your meal.”

The girl shouts at the maid who puts the tray on the table.

“Th, there, can’t you see that person…?”

“…….”

The maid, who scanned the room without any answer, left the room with the words, ‘There is no one here.’

And then silence followed.

Approaching the girl who was looking at me as if she had seen a ghost, she was horrified.

Is this Aria before I was possessed…?

Still, to confirm the fact, I used a word that only modern people would understand.

“Chipi chipi….”

“Ye, yes? What did you say?”

“Chapa chapa…”

“…….”

Looking at her with an indescribable expression, I realized.

It’s not me. It’s the real Aria.

Born into the prestigious magical Theres ducal family, an outcast who cannot use magic.

A being who envies and is jealous of the heroine after entering the academy and harasses her.

The villainess in the novel, Aria Theres, who is executed in the condemnation event.

It’s her.

But she was 180 degrees different from the her I saw in the novel.

She’s just a child.

She is wary of me, but can’t take her eyes off the food on the table.

Stepping back to tell her to eat comfortably, only then did she get up from the bed and eat the food on the table.

The hard bread and watery soup that I ate right after I was possessed.

While looking at her with complicated feelings, a voice was heard.

“Heh? Is this the inside of my vessel?”

“…….”

Looking at the Demon King, the being who summoned me here, I saw her who had grown to an incomparable extent from when we first met.

Why? Why did she suddenly grow?

“Come on, you also have a look of not knowing yourself well, shall we explore together?”

Time flows quickly with the Demon King snapping her fingers.

The appearance of young Aria is gone and a mature appearance of her is seen.

But, it was different.

An appearance 180 degrees different from my current appearance.

Her appearance with wavy hair and only venom remaining in her eyes was seen.

Like me on the day before the entrance ceremony, she was called to Duke Theres and heard shocking words.

“Do not stand out. Do not do anything. That is your role in our Theres ducal family.”

“Your father….”

After those words, she was kicked out of the head of household’s office, and clenched her fist tightly.

To the point where blood came out of her hand.

While looking at her with a heavy heart, the Demon King appeared again.

She has grown even bigger than just now.
