Reborn As Villain's
Chapter 26: Conversations and Attempted Murder.

"The first thing I would like to convey is a huge apology from His Majesty William to Mr. Dylan and the Arcadia extended family for Oscar-san's actions".

Sylvia lowered her head as a form of deep regret for what Oscar had done.

"On that, my father and I have forgiven and forgotten.... And we understand very well that Oscar's actions were not on the basis of His Holiness William's orders".

Hearing Dylan's extremely casual reply, made Sylvia shake her head as a form of rejection.

"It's not that easy, Mr. Dylan..... It's an important matter.... For our negligence, Oscar acted on the will and order of The Oracle's..... Then brutally attacked the Arcadia region.... Not to mention, you almost got killed while trying to stop him..... We're very sorry about this.... It can be forgiven that easily..... It feels less appropriate for us..... So, we're really very sorry and ready to accept any risk".

He apologized to Dylan and Hyoga for Oscar's actions. Sylvia still felt guilty and believed they should not be forgiven that easily.

(Buset, this is a stubborn girl..... Just so you know, I really hate the same politics know).

Looking at the stubborn Sylvia to apologize, Dylan could only mutter while scratching his back head.

"I want to say a few things..... First of all, I don't like formal conversations like this.... So, let's turn it informal, I'll call you Sylvia and you call me Dylan without any title.... Other than us our age, we are in the Academy environment and one class..... The impression is very awkward if we talk in a formal way".

Sylvia began to notice Dylan speaking.

"Both.... My father and I have a good understanding of the situation in Rachael Kingdom and the reason for Oscar's actions..... In fact, he was the one who spoke as we clashed the sword...... Third, We have no intention of breaking ties with the Kingdom of Rachael.... So don't think too much".

"But, even so----".

"I don't want to argue with you".

Sylvia fell silent again at a loss for words, unable to make Dylan understand that this was a serious matter.

"Honestly...... I was kind of curious about who Oscar really was".

Sylvia was shocked when she heard the strange words coming out of Dylan's mouth.

"What do you mean by an-you mean, Dylan?".

Dylan fixed his sitting position and his eyes started to get serious.

"Oscar was the one who attacked the Arcadia region and nearly killed my Father and Brother.... Of course, I hate him so much.... But on the one hand, I don't know why..... There was something inside him that made me feel sorry for him...... Moreover, his strong desire to become King..... It was as if he wanted to "change" something".

Sylvia was surprised by Dylan's unexpected words and felt sympathy for Oscar who almost killed him.

"Sorry, Dylan..... I don't know much about him..... We were just a few we met and it wasn't a good meeting..... In fact, one of his fellow holy knights..... Luke-san didn't want to tell me about Oscar".

"Oh, kah".

Dylan understood Sylvia's ignorance, while Sylvia herself still wondered why Dylan could sympathize with Oscar who from her point of view was a bad person.

Teng, Teng, Teng.

"Looks like, the bell went off..... We better get back to class.... You don't want to get scolding from the teacher, do you?".

"Ah, yes.... You're correct".

Hearing the doorbell echo, Dylan and Sylvia immediately moved from her seat and immediately returned to the classroom to get ready for the next lesson.

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

{So, how were your school days, Dylan-san?}.

"Hm, there's nothing special.... Everything I've been taught here is pretty much the same as what I learned at home...... Well, it's like I'm just moving bed and study".

{Hehe.... I see, ya}.

Currently, Dylan was contacting Aria using Protas. Actually, Dylan himself did not know why he was doing this, but he did not bother about his actions.

"Oh, yes Aria.... How are the kids there?".

{They are fine..... Just, sometimes lately.... They keep asking about you..... Especially, Anna and Billy are very upset with you..... Both of them, had thought that you were angry with them}.

"Ah, my goodness.... I only went to school at the Academy..... Please tell them I'm fine and not angry with them".

{Alright, later I will convey it to both of them}.

"More times, I'll talk to them..... Because it's night, I turn it off first..... To rest...... You take care of your health, pity the kids if you get sick".

{Dylan-san also yes..... Get enough rest, don't eat late, and focus on the lesson.... Kids let me take care of it}.

"Yes, yeah, I know.... Well then, good night Aria".

{Good Night}.

Dylan immediately turned off the Protas device. For some reason it seemed clear the look of a happy expression on his flat face.

When he turned around, he was very surprised to see Sonia who had been standing behind him from earlier with a sullen expression.

"What are you doing, Sonia? Then why are you looking at me like that?".

Seeing that, the curious Dylan tried to ask. Instantly, Sonia instead turned her face away and began to speak in a pouting tone.

"I was just wondering why, sir suddenly left.... It turns out you're here and talking to Aria-chan on Protas".

"Ah.... Yeah, hell.... You see, I thought about the children of the orphanage and all of you, I told you about my condition here.... That's why I called her.... Then, what's the problem?".

"I heard everything.... It's just, the way you talk to Aria and how you behave when you light up the children's condition.... As if, you look like a "Suami" who is worried about his son and wife".

Sonia could only exhale, seeing Dylan's extremely insensitive reaction to her being actually jealous of her closeness to Aria.

"No need to put on a face like that..... It's night, let's go back..... I'm so sleepy".

Dylan immediately brought Sonia back, to rest. Even so, Dylan's gaze diverted to another direction.

Actually since last time, he felt that something was watching him from behind the darkness of the night.

But he decided to pretend he didn't know. And ignore that thing.

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

At midnight.

In room 107.

Dylan was sleeping very fast in his bed. Sonia is also fast asleep.

Then, a shadowy figure appeared and quietly entered Dylan's room. He slowly approached Dylan who was asleep.

After standing beside the bed, the shadowy figure clearly looked at Dylan with a hateful gaze.

Then he took a knife from his pocket. Then it quickly shot towards Dylan.

However, the blade never reached Dylan.

The reason for that was because Dylan very quickly woke up and instantly blocked the attack. And pushed the figure backwards until it fell to the floor.

Unable to stand yet, the figure felt a sharp object that had been pointed at his neck. But, it wasn't Dylan but Sonia who did that.

"Don't move.... If you move just a little bit, I'll cut your throat".

With a terrible tone Sonia threatened the figure to not mess around.

"Are you okay, sir?".

"I'm fine..... Don't worry about it".

Dylan answered Sonia's question casually. Then a glance diverted to that shadowy figure that Dylan himself seemed to know who that figure was.

"After all, he was not a person who was an expert at dispelling the aura of his existence.... Right, eh?.... Miss Sylvia's personal servant".

As soon as the lights were turned on, Dylan's guess was correct. The figure was the personal servant of Sylvia who tried to kill her.

The current one, was staring at Dylan with hatred.

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

"Kill it?".

Suddenly the waiter said something that made Dylan and Sonia startled.

"Just kill me...... I'm weak, so I have nothing to say".

"Once, yeah...... Then I'll see you".

Sonia was about to grant the waiter a request. However, Dylan directly prevented it.

"Wait a minute, Sonia".

"Master?".

"There's something I want to talk to him about, you back off".

Sonia was silent for a moment before she finally retreated and left.

"I leave the rest to you.... After all, this girl had no intention of killing.... So, I'll step down first".

Sonia immediately went back to her bedroom. Leaving Dylan and the waiter together.

"Let's go out for a second..... There's something I want to talk to you about".

The two immediately left the room and headed for the Academy garden. To speak both.

"If you may know, what is your name.... It doesn't feel good to call you "servant", does it?".

"........... My name is Irene.... Irene who? I won't tell you....".

With a pouting tone of the girl, introducing herself as Irene. But he wouldn't tell me his last name.

"So, uh,..... What do you want to talk about?..... Just so you know, I'm the one who tried to kill you..... Are you trying to kill me?.... Or are you trying to hand me over to the regiment?".

"I have no intention of doing either of those two things..... Anyway, if I hand you over to the regiment unit it's really troublesome, you know..... I'm being asked about them".

"Heeee....So, what do you want to ask?".

Irene responds casually to Dylan's statement and then asks him his purpose.

"....... I need you to tell me about your Big Brother..... I mean, everything you know about Oscar..... I want to know more about him".

"Eh?".
