Reincarnated as the Villainess's attendant

"Ah...! The mistress is..."

Only then did the younger twin realize why their master didn\'t take them and returned to the academy immediately – it wasn\'t as if he wasn\'t worried but rather because the dark-haired girl chased away even him...

"I\'m glad you understand. Still... to think that something like that would happen right when I was away...! I think I was too lenient on Surou..."

The gold-haired prince scoffed angrily but didn\'t stop patting Veo\'s head even for a second, and the short attendant was keeping as still and quiet as she could so that Horeo wouldn\'t stop doing that. "Still, I have dealt with that stupid fatass who thought he could demand whatever he wanted from my kingdom just because his tiny city-state was easy to defend – so we will return to the Academy as soon as that cunning fox will calm down. So rest easy."

The first prince breathed out and smirked at Teo who nodded with understanding and sat back on the bed.

"That\'s right, master, you never told us how that talk went!"

The younger twin noticed what her sister was doing and she also realized that Horeo\'s hand was slowing down with the pats as if the prince was realizing that he was overdoing it with kindness so she decided to help her older sister out, and asked.

"Ah, you know, the usual diplomatic stuff. The fatso has heard that Miriette was the strongest wind magician and kept spouting crap on and on about how his country – oh, he had the audacity to call that city-state of his a country, imagine that - had the wind magic legacy and demanded – DEMANDED - that Miriette would be wed to him."

"And what did you do then, master?"

|Thanks, Teo...!|

Horeo\'s expression brightened as if he recalled something incredibly funny and he continued talking, while Veo nodded at her sister for the amazing assist.

"I politely told him to eat shit and die."

The gold-haired prince declared with a cheeky smile.

"Master, how do you politely tell someone to do that...?"

Hearing that even Veo raised her head and looked at Horeo face, but then hurriedly looked down to hold the blush once she realized how close they were.

"Oh, it\'s easy, really. It goes like this."

Horeo just shrugged his shoulders, more than happy to reveal the secret to his attendants.

"You just have to look the person in the eyes - then you smile politely - and then you calmly say to them: \'eat shit and die\'. Simple, right?"

"Pffft...! Ahaha! Master! You are such a bully!"

Even worried Teo couldn\'t help but snort at her master\'s explanation.

"Hey, I don\'t take kindly to fools who think they can mess with my friends."

Horeo smiled lightheartedly.

"In the first place, that fatso had no right to make ANY demands since we have proof that his stupid city-state was responsible for destroying one of our outposts at the border together with a couple of adjacents... villages... a couple of years... back... huh...?"

The gold-haired prince spoke but then he flinched and looked at Teo and Veo, and his eyes widened in realization.

"Master? What happened- did mistress send you a message spell about sir Zoemi?!"

Teo flinched and stood up again, filled to the brim with a new wave of anxiety.

"No... that\'s not it..."

"My prince...?"

Horeo shook his head and stood up, making Veo flinch and look up at him worried that his mood changed because of her trying to get too close.

The first prince walked towards the window and put his hand on the glass looking outside.

His eyes shone with a golden light as he used the spell that enhanced his vision to an unimaginable degree.

"...Teo... Veo..."

He spoke slowly without turning around.

"Yes, master?"

"My prince...?"

Both girls looked at each other in confusion ad slowly walked up to him.

"...remember the story you told me? About your past?"

Horeo asked in a tense voice.

"Y-yes... what about it...?"

Teo nodded and tilted her head in confusion.

"...would you hate me if I wanted to avenge your village by completely annihilating the perpetrators and everything they hold dear...?"

The first prince asked, straightening his back.

"..."

"..."

The two girls went silent.

Then, after a few seconds, they looked at each other and nodded at the same time.

"My prince, allow me to ask something else first."

Veo spoke up, reaching out and grabbing onto Horeo\'s vest.

"Yes?"

The gold-haired boy asked curiously, still not looking away from the scenery outside.

"...would you hate us if we told you that we want you to take revenge for us...?"

"...!"

The short brown-haired girl in a maid\'s uniform asked in a guilty voice, basically repeating her master\'s question.

"...everyone in our village was a good person, and I\'m sure that they wouldn\'t want us harming others for revenge but... I\'m sorry if that disappoints you, my prince, but neither my sister nor I are like them... we aren\'t good... So, please... If you ever get a chance to turn everyone responsible into dust... do it."

Veo declared and Horeo could feel her hand holding onto his vest tremble.

"...!"

...the next second, his entire body shone with a pristine golden light, causing the shocked girls to take a step back.

"You two don\'t have to worry about anything."

The gold-haired prince turned around and declared with a refreshing smile.

"In the first place, I am the tyrant future king who forces others to bend to his will – feel free to just blame everything on me!"

He laughed, tapping his chest with pride.

"Pffft! Master, you seriously are... eh?!"

*pomf*

"!!!!!!!"

Teo snorted and shook her head at the unbelievably cheeky first prince, but the next second she froze when her older sister suddenly stepped forward and hugged their master in a very intimate – and completely inappropriate for an attendant way – which caused the gold-haired boy to freeze in place wide-eyed.

"Wha...?! WHAT THE?!"

Funnily enough, even though Veo was the one who lovingly embraced the prince, she was also the one to suddenly let out a shocked voice and step away with her face redder than a ripe tomato.

"I...! I...!"

She opened her mouth a few times trying to come up with some excuse for her action but ended up blanking out – and escaped by literally running out of the room burrowing her face in her arms.

"...wh-what was that about...?"

Horeo blushed slightly and looked to the side, awkwardly rubbing the back of his neck.

"Master... Sir Zoemi is dense so he can get away with acting like that, but it won\'t pass with you. You are smart, and no one knows that better than Veo. She adores you way too much."

Teo sighed heavily and rubbed her temple with one hand.

"..."

Horeo closed his mouth and stubbornly kept quiet.

"Fine, you are the tyrant future king, after all, ~ oh! that\'s right, master, while we are on the subject of your so-called tyranny - what about disrespecting that guy you talked about, is it alright to make enemies just like that?"

Teo shook her head and changed the subject.

"Pfft...!"

"...?"

And to her great surprise, Horeo barely held back his laughter!

"Ekhem, sorry for that... Country? What country?"

He cleared his throat and with a completely serious expression, he looked at Teo.

"Eh...?"

Teo jaw dropped at the revelation.

"And on the unrelated note... have you ever heard me mention the name Wrath of Light?"

"...um... negative... I do not recall such occurrence..."

Horeo asked suddenly and Teo shook her head in denial and made an even more confused face.

"Good."

The first prince nodded with satisfaction at her response and then immediately left the room after confirming the successful distraction of his dangerously perceptive attendnat.

"Eh...!?"

Teo looked around as if in search of someone who could explain her master\'s words to her, but she was the only person left.

"EEEEEEHHHHHH!?"

She let out a confused voice and didn\'t even feel the tiny rumbling caused by the humongous explosion thousands of miles away.
