Chapter 4: I Always Treat Woman Well
Ah, I’ve fallen in love. Some women have this magical power to chain men’s hearts with words, and that’s exactly what Ravenna did.
I don’t know what crazy sorcery she cooked up against me, I just know it worked really well. Man, my chest is about to explode from beating so hard, my cheeks are all red, I look like an emotional teenager again!
Though this girl isn’t a bad find. She can’t exactly be labeled as a villain, so to speak; she’s more of a "black and white," a gray character who was hastily categorized to serve as a minor fight to show off the MC’s little powers and talent.
To be more exact, she’s only here because she was accused of attempting to kill Count Vandric, her foster uncle who took her in when House Galbraith declined.
They said she poisoned soldiers, summoned demons under the moonlight, and stole state secrets to fund her own mercenary armies.
In the original script, she barely appeared before being condemned, only gaining the spotlight at the trial, where she fought against the protagonist and put on a magical show.
An awesome fight scene, a beautiful damn choreography, just to show how truly monstrous this girl is when it comes to magic.
That’s why the captain hesitated to bar me: he knew I would actually be stylishly committing suicide.
Fortunately, my madness served as an excuse to throw me into the dungeon instead of unleashing a political scandal.
"Time’s up!"
A series of knocks echoes from the door, the captain calls me with an ugly grimace, and I wave a loving goodbye to the girlfriend I just acquired. She looks at me with clear disdain, but it’s good to see a hint of hope in her, and that she didn’t kill me outright.
After being guided out of the Second Ring prison, I return to the streets. The sun welcomes me with open arms, I even missed it after being inside that rotten place.
