Reborn As Villain's
Chapter 2: Refusing to Get Engaged to the King's Daughter.

A month has passed.

Dylan had finally completely recovered.

However, everyone in the Mansion looked strange looking at Dylan's attitude that had suddenly changed.

"Hey, Mr. Dylan why?"

"Just this time I saw him practicing?"

"And also what sword style is that?"

"I saw him this time".

The servants whispered to each other when they saw that Dylan had suddenly decided to start training his physique by exercising from morning until noon.

Starting with the warm-up, Run around the Mansion, Push Up, Sit Up, Back Up and do Sparing both with the sword and with your bare hands.

Finished with all that, one of the Maid who became his personal Maid named Sonia began to ask.

"Sorry Mr. Dylan!? .... What exactly did you just do?".

"Oh,... I just feel my body is not fit".

Dylan replied while wiping away the sweat that was on his head. Then Dylan spoke again.

"Oh, yes Sonia!? .... Can you bring me some books?".

"Of course!?.... So what book are you asking for?".

"..... If you can bring me books about magic, math books, Ingrid Kingdom history books, books about cultivation and also books about monsters".

"..... All right, I'll take it to your room".

"....Thanks!? ......Sorry for being such a troublesome master".

Although a little surprised by his master's request, Sonia assented. But, what shocked Sonia was Dylan apologizing to her for being such a troublesome master.

After cleaning himself up and changing clothes, Dylan immediately went into his room and began to read all the books he had asked Sonia until dinner.

And after dinner, Dylan secretly began to practice his magic inside the room.

Although Dylan's character could not use attribute magic, but instead, Dylan had to be seeded in non attribute magic

Examples are Craft, Augmented, Power Up, Speed, Divine Art, Visual Activision, and Phantom Blade.

However, because he was blinded by the hatred for the Kingdom and the Hero, he was unable to maximize his original abilities.

(Yosh, okay!? I will use all this knowledge so that I can avoid my own destruction).

Dylan zealously continued to do his new activities every day without missing a single bit.

One day at dinner with his father, he starts a conversation.

"Dylan tomorrow Princess Vanessa is coming for a visit".

Hearing that, Dylan became very lazy.

(Well? Why is that girl coming here?).

".....Vanessa?....Who her?".

"She was the 2nd Princess of King Ingrid whom you helped back then".

".....!?... Why would he come here".

"Of course to see you!? When she found out you were better!? He decided to come here!? So, tomorrow you'll welcome him".

In contrast to Dylan's outward appearance that looks flat.

In his mind he was eager to vomit to hear the explanation from his father, but he realized that he was eating together.

After thinking for a while Dylan then spoke.

(Wait a minute, maybe this will be a good opportunity for me..... This is 3 years before the start of the game..... According to the story, Dylan and Vanessa got engaged because of Vanessa's guilt over Dylan for something..... Well, if we weren't engaged, it would be great if I turned it down now..... That way I won't have to deal with him again in the future.).

Thinking for a moment while eating food, he finally managed to find an idea.

"alright,..... I'll welcome him tomorrow".

"Good, then the servants will prepare a place for you".

(I'll definitely win).

Dylan prepares to welcome tomorrow as his first step in avoiding Death Flag.

Tomorrow, the waiting day has come.

Dylan is alone at the door of the Mansion with his personal servant Sonia.

The reason was to welcome a guest who came to his house, then a horse carriage came entering the gate and drove slowly towards him.

After the train turned and stopped, the coachman immediately got down and opened the door for someone inside.

As soon as the door opened, a beautiful girl with long orange hair came out to the waist with light purple eyeballs and became more beautiful with her light blue dress.

When he got off the train his footsteps were very graceful and could hypnotize anyone who saw him.

"Welcome, Miss Vanessa. I'm happy to welcome you to my family's Mansion".

(Bitter, bitter, bitter why should I welcome this damn woman too!? Troublesome).

The girl Dylan welcomed was none other than the 2nd Princess of Ingrid Kingdom Vanessa Sera Ingrid.

"Thank you for the welcome, Mr Dylan!? I'm so flattered that you welcome me".

(Cua also won't times!? All because of force).

Vanessa expressed her gratitude while looking down her body forward like the etiquette of nobility in general.

"Because it's rude to let you be here. Let's follow me to the back garden, the servants have prepared a table, tea and some snacks for us".

"I accept it with pleasure".

Dylan leads Vanessa to go together to the back garden to enjoy some snacks and chat together.

(----------)

In the garden behind the Mansion.

Dylan and Vanessa sat facing each other at a table, and in front of them were plenty of snacks and a cup of Tea.

After each tea. Vanessa started talking.

"Mr Dylan, how are you?".

".... My condition is getting better".

"Thank God, then".

After a pleasantry, Vanessa suddenly lowered her head. Dylan who saw that was a little astonished.

"I'm sorry for what happened!?.... If only no one tried to help me!?.... You don't have to experience all this!?.... Again, I apologize profusely".

Dylan knew what Vanessa's apology meant.

According to the story on the game.

At that time Dylan who was walking around while disguised in the city, accidentally saw two suspicious people who attracted a small child his age who turned out to be Vanessa.

Unable to remain silent, Dylan attacks the two men and tells Vanessa to leave immediately, and when Vanessa manages to escape he immediately goes to save himself.

While Dylan handled the two men.

But, unfortunately Dylan who had no skills was all-out beaten up by those two people. Until a mild concussion.

By the time the 2 men were about to kill her, Vanessa had returned with several guards, they were finally snatched.

One of the guards recognized Dylan's face and immediately brought him back to the Mansion for treatment.

Vanessa herself follows him and explains what really happened to Dylan's parents.

And as a form of apology and thanksgiving, the King and Queen decided to match them.

Then Dylan started talking.

"On that,.... You don't have to worry Miss Vanessa!?.....It's only natural, we help each other!?...... And you don't have to apologize".

"Is that so!? I'm so glad to hear that".

Vanessa showed a relieved expression upon hearing Dylan's words.

(Ok, good!? Now it's time to finish this).

"Then, if that's all you want to say then let me.... ".

"Ethto.... I'm sorry, but that's not the only reason I'm here".

Dylan raised one of his eyebrows to hear what Vanessa was about to say.

But inside his mind he already knew what it was.

"Look,.... I have asked His Majesty for advice. As to what I should do to apologize to you, then they say that an apology alone will not be enough. So, uh,.... His Majesty suggested that you and I get engaged in return for everything that has happened".

Hearing that, Dylan, who continued to put on a flat face, smiled for a moment, then stood up and bowed his body and began to speak.

"...Earlier I apologized to you Miss Vanessa, despite your intentions and your family's excellent........ But, I must reluctantly reject it".

Hearing Dylan reject the engagement proposal makes Vanessa surprised instead of playing.

"Mr Dylan can I know why?".

Vanessa asked Dylan for an explanation as to why he had rejected the engagement proposal.

(That's because you're gonna leave me for the hero.... But, if I give such an excuse then he must be confused.... Then let's use the usual way).

"..... We just know each other, ..it seems very strange that suddenly we are engaged without knowing the habits and personality of each of us...... It's either a good attitude or a bad attitude..... It would be better if we start by getting to know each other...... In the future neither you nor I will be disappointed or hurt".

(Yes, pretty cool cave.... But in this way the girls must think that I am the one who sidelined and sold expensive.... And that makes things easier).

Vanessa was stunned into silence when she heard Dylan's reasoning just now.

A moment later he stood up and spoke again.

"So you think we should start by getting to know each other, right?..... ".

Then suddenly he stood up with an overcast face.

".... Then Mr. Dylan, I'll step down first".

"..... Then let me take you back to the train".

Vanessa decides to leave and Dylan delivers her back to the horse-drawn carriage.

There was a disappointed look on Vanessa's face. And for some reason, Vanessa didn't stop biting the fingernail tip of her thumb.

Finished in his farewell, Vanessa immediately left Arcadia Mansion.

(Goddessa..... Finally the girl left too!? Hehe.... Now a flag of destruction I've avoided... I have to admit, she's prettier than she is in the game... But despite having a pretty face in the end he's still a fucking whore..... Who else is a sane guy who wants to be like a girl like him... Now I can see a bright future ahead of me).

Although his face smiled flatly and waved at Vanessa who left.

But, inside his head he laughed in satisfaction and felt that he had managed to win against his Death Flag.

He was confident with all his heart that his future salvation would be assured.

However, Dylan was not aware that the little thing he had just done had a big impact going forward.
