Became A Blind Villain
Edmund's Decision.

Edmund woke up again and found himself in a simple room made of wood, someone seemed to be doing something next to his bed, seen the man was arranging things in the closet.

The man had long hair tied to his chest and as the man turned around, he saw Edmund had regained his senses and could not help but smile.

"You sleep like a dead buffalo." These were the first words Ramus said to Edmund that made Edmund's face dark.

Edmund tried to move and unlike before he was so painstaking to sit down, now he could do it more easily.

"How long have I been unconscious?" ask Edmund.

"Three days."

Edmund's eyes widened, "Three days?"

Ramus nodded. "Yes, that's why I said you slept like a dead buffalo ... Hey hey, what are you doing?"

Ramus asked as soon as he saw Edmund trying to get off his bed.

Holding his bandaged stomach, Edmund looked at Ramus and said, "I have to go home, my parents must be very worried about me."

He had been gone for days without any news, how could they not worry? Edmund had to hurry back home and see his parents.

Goddamnit! The bad girl ... Huh! Edmund again cursed inwardly, what he expected of the wicked girl, that morning when he woke up he asked for three wishes, he said, the girl said she would agree to his request and Edmund asked to go home. However, the evil girl acted as if she was an angel by saying that she needed to rest even longer because she had just given her the medicine. The wicked girl said that she would tell people to drive her home in the afternoon.

At that time Edmund thought that the evil girl might have changed. However, the truth was that he had told his father to hold him for three days!

Ramus who saw him rushed to stop him.

"Let me go." Edmund says.

Ramus raised his eyebrows and said, "Three requests, are you not going to take them."

Edmund stopped and turned to look at Ramus.

Ramus throws a pouch and Edmund catches it. It was heavy and clattering, as Edmund opened it, it was filled with gold coins and gemstones.

His eyes widened and Edmund's hand holding the pouch almost shook and dropped the treasure that he could only imagine. Edmund immediately held tightly to the bag as if he had not done so, his treasure would have vanished into delusion. 

Edmund then looked at Ramus, still with a shocked face.

"Lady Ashlyn fulfilled your three requests. Become Lady Ashlyn's personal servant, letting you join the knight Daren Lynx and a bag of gold coins and gemstones. Three requests, Lady Ashlyn responded."

Upon hearing this, Edmund gulps his saliva and momentarily thinks that Ashlyn might not be that bad. But Ramus then said.

"But to become a knight is not as easy as swinging a twig. You're probably gonna die with a lot of training and Lady Ashlyn doesn't care. Duke Damien has reminded Lady Ashlyn, but Lady Ashlyn says life or death is your choice and Lady Ashlyn doesn't care, duke Damien therefore agrees to Lady Ashlyn's request to make you a member of the Daren Lynx knights. However, you should always remember, you are a normal human being, what you would accept to be a knight would probably drive you crazy. So, you better give up and save your life before it's too late."

Listening to all those words, Edmund squeezed the golden bag in his hand.

What's he thinking? For a moment this golden bag almost blinded his eyes. Of course, Ashlyn, that evil girl will never change. Even if the evil girl agreed to her three wishes, she still had a petty mind and when she asked to join Daren Lynx's army, she was left alone, the girl probably laughed happily behind her calm face.

The wicked girl knew that to become a knight was not easy, much less that she was just someone from a low caste, a poor ordinary human being, which even the palace alone refused him to join the royal army.

The girl must have calculated that she might die if she joined the Daren Lynx army, even if she would die before she received the title of knight, the girl had already calculated it, that's why he said he didn't care.

Squeezing the golden bag in his hand, Edmund stared intently at Ramus and said, "I will not retreat, this is the path I take."

Secretly determined that he would not lose, even if the practice nearly took his life, he would not back down, he said, he will prove that he can be a knight and he will make the girl regret for underestimating him.

Ramus simply smiled and shook his head at Edmund's decision.

After that Edmund came out of the Daren Lynx Mansion, walking on foot with pain in the body, but could not be unhappy as he remembered that in his body there was now one bag of gold and gemstones for his parents.

With all the gold and gemstones, they no longer need to live poor and feel inferior and demeaned by others anymore. They will start a new life, a new home and a new business, they will live happily. However, after nearly walking for a day from the Daren Lynx Mansion to his house in a dark and smelly slum.

The landlady threw away all the belongings of his family, took out his belongings and his parents were nothing and also worthless. Merely, some shabby clothes and nothing more.

"What are you doing!" As if the pain in his body was gone, Edmund ran over and pulled the fat woman who was then locking the door of the house.

The fat lady was shocked, her thick powder and red lipstick, making her feel like she was wearing a mask, but it did not hide her angry expression at the sight of Edmund, he violently slapped Edmund's hand which pulled his shoulder.

"So your attitude is a fucking kid!"

Edmund's eyes reddened at the sight of his belongings strewn across the ground, even some filthy within the muddy pit.

"What are you doing, why are you taking our stuff out?"

The woman grew increasingly angry and wanted to push Edmund's forehead with her index finger many times. However, Edmund was too tall for him and he could only point at Edmund's chest, right at the incision marks of the sharp weapon, it hurt, but Edmund accepted it. He was not being bad at this person because this woman was the owner of the house whose family had rented to stay all this time.

"Fuckin' kid doesn't know it's lucky, you grew up well but you can't help your family at all! If you knew you were poor, you should have worked harder to make money, but all you did was wander around indistinctly, making your parents stop worrying about a child like you. Oh, God why are you blessing this family with a useless child like you. Look what you've done! You can't give anything away, but your parents have to suffer because of you!"

Edmund was scolded, there were some words that he could understand, but there were some that he did not understand and when he realized it, Edmund's face immediately turned deathly pale.

"What happened to my parents? Tell me what happened to them? Where's them?"

Edmund asked as if he was a lunatic as he shook the landlady.

The woman shook Edmund's hand. "Now you're just asking about them. They're dead, two strangers came looking for you three days ago and when they didn't find you, they killed your parents!"

When he heard this, Edmund's eyes opened wide.

Seeing Edmund's shock the woman increasingly wanted to curse. "Tell me, what sins do your parents have that make you have a child like you. Trouble bearer! I don't want to see your face again, get out of here and never come back!"

The woman kicked him out and Edmund soon came to his senses from his shock. "Liar! You just want to kick us out because we can't pay the rent."

Edmund then took out his gold bag and took out a handful of gold coins and gemstones, handing it to the landlady who was immediately shocked upon seeing him.

"I paid for it, I paid for it." Edmund said, "Now tell me that my parents are fine and tell me where they are. Where did you throw them out, tell me!" Edmund snaps.

The hand of the landlady trembled as she held the pile of gold coins and glittering gemstones in her hand. His heart was very happy, but then his face turned dark and pale, the happiness was gone swept away by fear and anger.

The landlady then threw all the gold and gemstones into Edmund's face.

The landlady roared and was about to walk away, but Edmund held her back. His deep eyes looked at the woman and frightened her.

"Tell me where my parents are!"

The woman trembled but her little heart still held a hint of courage. "You think where else can people like you go when they die. The kingdom will burn their bodies with another pile of corpses like firewood, there is no land left to bury the poor, you will end up in ashes and be thrown into the ocean!"

Edmund's eyes widened and the corners of his eyes reddened, his face strained and the veins on his forehead bulged out, his teeth chattered and the hand holding the shoulder began to grip tightly as if he wanted to tear the landlady's shoulder.

The woman was in pain and tried to break away, when she managed to break away, she immediately left Edmund alone.

While Ashlyn was sitting leisurely sipping tea, the days passed and her training went smoothly, she was already progressing, but there was one thing that plagued her mind.

"Is Ashlan not here yet?" Ashlyn asked Carolin. However, since Ashlyn was drinking tea after her training in the gazebo close to where the knights were practicing, Ramus was also there who happened to hear this when he was about to greet her.

"Didn't Lady Ashlyn say that you wouldn't care what that person's decision would be?"

Ashlyn scrunched her forehead and immediately recognized the voice of this person. At least he had met this person several times since he decided to study martial arts.

Seeing Ashlyn not responding to his words, Ramus bowed respectfully and gave his greetings.

"Thank you, Lady Ashlyn and Young Master Vincent, your training seems to be progressing quite rapidly, especially you, Lady Ashlyn."

Ramus smiled and Ashlyn still ignored him by drinking tea, this irritated him. However, Vincent then asked the same thing with Ashlyn.

"Did the young man not come back?"

After all, Ashlan was the young man he saw with his older sister when he found her first and his older sister said Ashlan was his helper. Not only that, they also seemed to be making a deal with three requests. When Vincent learns of Ashlan's three requests, Vincent also feels that the man is unlikely to survive, however Ashlan is a normal human being.

Ramus smiled and politely replied. "I warned him that being a knight was no easy feat, and I told him to think about it again, so it seemed like he had decided enough with a bag of gold and gemstones."

Vincent nodded, sipped his tea and thinking that Ashlan had made the right decision, that person would not be able to endure the strenuous training to become a knight. Even worst of all, he might end up dead during practice. So, actually the man made a wise decision by not coming again, after all a bag of gold and gemstones is not a little thing.

However, Ashlyn instead laughed before letting out a long sigh. "Cowardly, so he's just a big mouth, when all the money I gave him runs out, he won't have anything else."

Hearing that, Ramus and Vincent including Carolin could not help but think that this evil Ashlyn did indeed want to see Ashlan die while undergoing strenuous training! That's why he looks disappointed and wonders if Ashlan didn't come.

How could this guy be so cruel?

While Edmund had finished off all the gold and gemstones Ashlyn had given him, he threw them into the sea and said it was all for his parents. For days, he lived by the beach like a man who didn't want to live anymore.

Ignoring the wounds on his body as well as the cold coastal wind at night and ignoring the hot sun during the day, Edmund stayed on the beach for days until Annabel came to see him.

Annabel finds out about what happened when she went to the supermarket and decides to visit Edmund's house because she hasn't seen Edmund every time she goes to the supermarket.

Usually Edmund will greet him near the fountain pool in the middle of the supermarket. The young man had helped her a lot, Annabel could not forget her kindness and she had not been to see Edmund's parents for a long time either. So he went there and found out the bad news.

Annabel could only widen her eyes and close her mouth when she heard that and asked where Edmund was to the landlady.

The landlady did not tell him clearly, but Annabel could guess that the boy must have been on the beach. The place where the ashes of those who were considered worthless were thrown away as if they were nothing, and this is where Annabel found Edmund who seemed to have lost the light of life, so thin and pitiful.

Annabel wanted to cry at the sight of Edmund's condition and could not help but run up to him, hug him and cry for him.

Edmund felt a warm embrace and a familiar voice. No one in this world would treat her as warmly as her parents and Annabel.

Now, her parents are gone and the only person who will treat her warmly in this world is Annabel.

"Annabel." Edmund returns Annabel's embrace weakly before becoming tight.

"Why is the world so unfair?" Edmund asked.

Annabel shook her head and rubbed Edmund's back.

"It's okay, it's okay, Edmund. Everything's gonna be fine. Everything that happens always has a good side in it, this world may not be fair to you Edmund, but believe me, you good people and good people always get good things."

Edmund swallowed his saliva and his tears had dried up, how could this girl always think positively?

The world is not fair to him.

Why did he have to be born poor, why did this world have to take away his parents, why did this world make him suffer, why did this world make her experience all this and why couldn't she be with this girl? So how is the world fair to him?

The world is not fair to him!

"Annabel, the world is not fair to me."

Annabel let go of her embrace and shook her head. "No Edmund, someday this world will look fair to you, don't be sad, everything will be fine."

Edmund watched Annabel. See how the girl grieves for him as he slumped, only this girl would cry for him and give him a warm hug. Just this girl.

"Annabel, you're the only person in the world who would want to be by my side, accept me for who I am, grieve and cry for me, you don't even feel disgusted at me when others look down on me. You're the only one Annabel."

Annabel shook her head again. "No, Edmund. I'm sure you'll find your happiness someday and meet good people in the future. I was in your position a long time ago, when I was not the Duke's son, my life was miserable and poor, but look Edmund, of all that happens to us, we will receive his kindness. Be patient."

Edmund stared at the gentle smile on Annabel's face and his desire to love this person grew deeper and deeper to the point of wanting it.

Annabel looked at Edmund who looked calmer and wiped away his tears.

"Edmund, come with me. I'll ask you to give you a job at home. Dad won't reject me, keep living well Edmund, never give up."

Upon hearing that, Edmund could not help but smile. See how this girl worried about him even kindly would take him to the Daren Lynx Mansion to get a job, even if it was just a waitress, even if it was just a waitress, it is not easy to enter as a servant at the Daren Lynx residence if there is no letter of recommendation.

Basically, a person like Edmund who came from the lower classes would have no place in that place. However, Annabel kindly offers her a job, while the other daughter of the family tries to kill her at the training ground.

However, Edmund could not accept Annabel's noble offer. He will gamble this time, for Annabel's sake and to make Ashlyn suffer, making Ashlyn pay for every deed she gave him, because if it wasn't for Ashlyn preventing him from coming home, then, his parents must be alive.

He will prove it and he will go to great lengths to become the greatest knight ever, defeating the crown prince and making Annabel fall into his arms. Being hers.
