Ever since I was little, I grew up watching my parents love the people of Xian. Seeing my people happy was something I loved to do.
Whenever I visited the market or the city, the friendly smiles of Xian citizens were everywhere. Seeing their smiles, I made up my mind that I wanted to be someone who protected their smiles.
But children's dreams are nothing in front of reality. One day, people from the Feng family showed up and started confiscating our family's assets and they even started doing unfair things to the citizens of Xian.
Even so there was no one who could take action, since then the smiles of the people in Xian city disappeared.
Just as I was getting desperate, an engagement proposal suddenly appeared. In exchange for helping our family, they wanted to marry off their son to me.
I never thought the day would come when I'd be engaged to someone I didn't even know. Seeing my anxiety, my parents decided they wanted to reject the offer.
Then one day as I was walking around town, I saw the Feng family members stepping on an old man but no one dared to help the old man.
Then I decided to order the Feng family member to remove his foot, feeling annoyed the Feng family member ended up beheading the old man.
On that day, I realized how weak I was. I wanted strength, and I decided to accept the proposal to get engaged.
...
"What?"
"Did your ears disappear? What can I do, I don't want us to get married..."
When I said that, Yoon's pupils fluttered violently.
(Is it too much? I don't know what to say in this situation.)
"I think you misunderstood, I accepted this meeting because I felt sorry for you guys."
I then dropped the flowers I was holding and stomped on them.
"Ah! I remember!" Did you know, a few days before I went on a mission with a group. They were a group of idiots who died because of their own stupidity."
"...I heard they were protecting you..."
Yoon began to speak with a tone of voice that felt cold. This was for the best...
"Exactly, they are very stupid, aren't they? No, they are quite useful... As meat shields!"
Upon hearing those words, Yoon immediately shouted.
" Scum!"
"How dare you say such indecent words to your future fiancé? Ah, that's right. You're the son of an idiot couple too!"
"What did you say?"
"Your family is so stupid, throwing away their chance for the sake of stupid townspeople. Eventually your family ended up as outcasts-"
*Slap*
A voice that I heard so often back then, echoed throughout the park.
I looked at Yoon, Yoon slapped me with a face that looked tearful and angry.
I froze looking at the girl's eyes, the eyes I had seen so many times.
"...I will never forgive you..."
With those words, Yoon walked away. Before Yoon was completely gone, I called out to him.
"You better keep this a secret, if this engagement is canceled then the city you want to protect will also be destroyed."
"..."
Yoon did not answer and walked away.
Left alone, I looked up at the sky and sighed.
"It's for the best, right?"
It was a little painful to make a young girl receive such verval abuse but I knew that girl would survive.
(Eyes that are very similar to 'She', eyes that never give up hope.)
"But is that girl really going to keep it a secret?"
After seeing those eyes, I decided to help that girl. But if our engagement is canceled, then the plan I just made will collapse.
But there seems to be no need to worry, that girl is quite intelligent. Even though her state of mind at that time was chaotic, at least that girl knew what was best to do.
[Congratulations! You Get 1000 Villain Points!]
[Congratulations! You Earned Yoon Murasaki's Maximum Hatred!]
[You Get the Title ''Human Trash'']
"Damn system..."
...
I decided to go back to the meeting room, and once I entered. I was completely speechless.
There was an elegant, purple-haired girl talking and laughing with my mother.
(... Looks like I was wrong, I had underestimated this girl. What a tough girl...)
"Ah! Zend! Why did you leave your fiancée, you guys should have come together..."
Mom looks pouty with her cheeks puffed up like a sulking child.
(Really, mom's nature is very childish for dad's wife who always pouts... No, that's exactly why they're compatible?)
"Lady Yoon seems a little unsuited to the air outside, so I suggest Lady Yoon return."
""Oh!""
All the people there shouted in surprise at my words.
(What's so strange about what I said?)
"Dear, did you hear that? 'Lady'! Our son Siscon finally found the girl he likes!"
"Ugh!"
(Stop it! You're embarrassing your son in front of others!)
"M-mother? Our relationship hasn't gotten that far yet, Lady Yoon and I have only known each other for a few days. Then I'm not a sison but I only like my sister-"
"Dear! Our son said 'Lady' once again!"
"Can you please hear your son's explanation?"
Seeing the familiarity between me and my parents, Lord Takahara smiled and spoke to his daughter.
"It seems that your fiancé is a warm and friendly person... Yoon?"
Yoon was silent and confused by her fiancé's behavior. Just a moment ago, Zend had been the worst person Yoon had ever met but now Zend had suddenly become completely different from before.
"Yoon? Are you okay?"
"Eh? Ah, I'm fine dad."
(Does that person hide his true nature in front of his family?)
That was the only conclusion Yoon came to from Zend's behavior.
(That must be what that girl is thinking about me right now)
While trying to stop mom from saying my embarrassing things, I looked at Yoon and thought about what Yoon was thinking right now.
(Children's thoughts are quite easy to read especially children like this girl)
"Ah! My son, you said that you guys aren't close enough yet right?"
(Ah, I don't know why I feel so bad...)
"And you want to strengthen your relationship, don't you?"
"But I didn't say-"
"Then how about Miss Yoon stay here for a few days?"
(Ah, it finally came...)
Hearing my mom's words, Yoon's eyes immediately lit up.
(I'll expose your bad behavior to your parents!)
(Looks like my days are going to be chaotic...)
