Chapter 5 - 4 - At Least I’ve Given Him a Chance
"You know, I no longer want to be a puppet of the main villain in a story tasked with slaughtering others, nor do I want to go mad with revenge. Honestly, I just want to be a kind person. So, I'll give you a chance. If you answer all my questions honestly, I'll let you go just like that."
You might be wondering why Lev is acting like an extra villain?
Threatening his servant, who had served him for years, and speaking in mysterious tones—these are all clichés of an extra villain.
To Lev, his behavior might seem very clichéd, but to his servant, it was different in the eyes of his servant.
"Young Master. Why are you suddenly doing this? Normally, you're a very calm person who upholds noble values. You would never threaten a lowly servant like me. But why are you doing this now?"
Gulp!
His servant was so nervous that he swallowed hard. His Adam's apple bobbed up and down. Cold sweat dripped from his temples. This wasn't normal, especially since the cold air was still seeping into the carriage. But the nervousness and fear that made his body tremble could still cause cold sweat to form.
The old Lev would never have suddenly interrogated his subordinates unless they insulted him or his family, but now things were different. What was the pride of a noble? It was nothing but useless garbage. Don't forget, he had once lived as someone else's puppet.
In this world, the only thing that matters is how strong you are. Period.
"First question. Why did you betray me?"
"What?"
