Another World Story: Why I Become Villain
Saving Heroine

The Teyvat family was one of the most prominent noble families in the Trianos kingdom. They have strategic power. The area led by the Teyvat family had a natural fortress that encircled the area that was the Black Forest.

This Black Forest was a forest filled with various kinds of monsters, from the weak to the very strong.

This Black Forest in addition to bringing a positive impact, it also has a negative impact. The large number of monsters in the Black Forest makes the Teyvat family vulnerable to monster invasion.

Perhaps that is why the funding budgeted by the Teyvat family is focused on the military. However, having a strong military made the Teyvat family more dictatorial. No ordinary people dared to resist the tyranny of the Teyvat family, as they had strong military control.

In anticipation of outside threats, the Teyvat family closely watched the people who were in and out of the Teyvat region.

Back again, due to the Black Forest, the Teyvat region could only be entered through one entrance.

This is the biggest obstacle for Liam to get Rachel out of Teyvat.

Liam had previously told Lloyd that he put Rachel in the Black Forest prison, but in fact Liam only took and locked Rachel in a dungeon some distance from the mansion.

By order, or rather the threat of Liam, the guards did not dare to open his mouth that Rachel was being locked up there.

After Liam checked the surroundings and made sure no one was around, Liam then went to the dungeon. There was one thing he needed to confirm from Rachel.

Arriving at the place, Liam then went down the dim stairs, to the cells of prisoners who were underground.

Liam then arrived in front of Rachel. He saw Rachel who was cowering in fear. He seems to have noticed Liam's arrival.

"Hey coward."

Rachel could only tremble, hearing Liam's sentence.

"W-is it time for my execution?"

Rachel seemed to have lost the spirit to live. It is so sad to see a 9-year-old boy who should have played, enjoying his childhood must feel a tremendous sense of despair.

"It would be helpful if you wanted me to do it now. But, before that, answer my question, basic useless."

"Y-yes?"

Rachel was a bit confused by Liam's words.

"Do you have any other family here?"

Rachel was still confused as to why Liam had asked her such a thing.

"Hurry up and answer me, or do I have to go in there and open your mouth?"

Stunned, Rachel immediately replied to Liam.

"Sa-I have no one. My father and mother died 2 years ago."

"Your other relatives besides your parents?"

Liam continued to ask his question.

"Sa-I don't know. My mom and dad never told me about it."

Satisfied to hear her reply, Liam then rushed to leave Rachel.

(Yep, according to the background in the game. In this way, I can carry out his plan without burden.)

Shortly before Liam climbed the stairs, Rachel ventured to call Liam.

"Grand-mom!"

Liam stopped, then turned his body towards Rachel.

"What?"

Rachel who was trembling then ventured to speak.

"Ji-if you please, please bury me later near the place of father and mother."

If it was Lloyd, obviously Rachel wouldn't have asked for it, but somehow, in Rachel's heart there was a little sense that Liam was different to Lloyd.

"Hmph, your request was in vain."

Not hinting at Rachel, Liam then walked up and up the stairs.

(It is sad to see a 9-year-old boy choose where he is buried.)

Liam then returned to the mansion. Shortly after reaching his room, Sebas came to Liam.

"Sir, the train is ready."

"Is that so?"

Liam answered Sebas with a tinge.

"However, which area should we send it to? To capital?"

Looks like Liam and Sebas are working together to get Rachel out of Teyvat territory.

"Foolishly, do you think a 9-year-old girl can survive alone in that big city?"

Sebas, who realized this, asked Liam for the solution.

"But sir, if our train leaves Mr Lloyd's entourage, wouldn't it look suspicious?"

Liam was also aware of this, but he had already thought of an idea before.

"I'll outsmart it."

Liam then got up from his couch, and left his room.

...***...

(I have to look natural.)

Liam then knocked on the door of his father's room.

Tok

"Lake in."

Moments later, Liam hears Zagan's voice from within inviting him in.

Liam then opened the door of the room, and stepped inside.

"So, why are you here, Liam?"

Without further ado, Zagan spoke directly to the point.

"Dad, I want to buy a sword."

"really? Then why did you come report this to me?"

Normally, if Liam wanted to buy a sword, he could just ask Sebas or another servant to go to the city, and buy a sword. He didn't have to bother telling his father.

"My teacher said, there is a great swordsman in the next town. I want to buy the sword he made."

Liam lied to his father. Edna never said that to Liam.

"really? Well, here's the money. Get a good sword."

Zagan took 5 pieces of gold coins, then gave them to Liam.

"Thank you, dad!"

Liam smiled at Zagan then walked out of Zagan's room.

(I didn't think it would be this easy. It's free for me to think of a simulated conversation with dad.)

...***...

One day has passed. Tomorrow is the day Lloyd departs for the capital and the day Liam's plans are implemented. Since the various things required for the plan were already in order, today Liam wanted to focus on his training.

"Good business, Mr. Lose!"

Edna was now training Liam on swordsmanship. The two of them did a sparring exercise behind the Teyvat family mansion.

"Shut up, old grandma!"

Liam constantly attacked Edna using a wooden sword in his right hand, but the result was nil. Edna could always dodge, or fend off the attacks Liam gave her.

"Curtain, how about this!?"

Liam then darted towards Edna from the front. This was just like his first fight with Edna before.

"Are you desperate, boy?"

Edna attacked Liam again like in the previous fight. He swung his sword vertically over Liam.

In the previous fight, Liam dodged Edna's attack to the side. But this time, Liam receives Edna's attack.

(Hohou, apparently he wants to clash with me. This kid is pretty brave.)

Wood swords Edna and Liam meet. However, from the beginning Liam did not intend to clash with Edna. The difference in age and muscle mass clearly makes Liam will definitely lose in a power struggle.

Instead of accepting and holding Edna's attack intact, Liam accepts and deflects Edna's attack.

(What?)

Edna was quite surprised at what Liam was doing. Edna's horses were crushed so that Liam immediately approached to attack Edna whose defense was open.

"This is my victory!"

As Liam thought he had won, Edna smiled then she pointed her empty hand towards Liam.

"[Wind Blast]"

A moment later, a high-pressure wind came crashing down on Liam, sending him bouncing.

"ahaha! Too bad boy, you lost again!"

Edna laughed at Liam who was bouncing because of his magic.

"You cheated! You old grandma!"

"Wah-wah, someone whines because they lose! Ahahaha!"

Despite Liam's defeat, Edna was impressed by what Liam had done before.

(He's talented. At this young age, he was already capable of using complex techniques. I wonder what he will be in the future.)

Liam seemed emotional then put up his horses again.

"Come one more time! I'll beat you, old grandma!"

Hearing Liam's sentence, Edna was instantly emotional.

"Don't call me old grandma!"
