I Corrupted The Good Male Protagonist - Chapter 15

“That’s right. I don’t think that’s the case as well, Ash. Lord Magnus isn’t the kind of person who uses magic for this.”

Sure enough, the other Young Ladies also never doubted Adele.

“That’s true. Lord Magnus is different from other nobles.”

“But I also found it strange for Lady Sinclair to win that easily…”

Yeah, and that’s when the real show starts.

Lynette raised her hand bravely as I measured the timing.

“Then, Lady Sinclair. Would you like to try it with me?”

“Should I?”

I’m liking this sister more and more. I readily consented.

The second arm wrestling was over soon. Lynette looked puzzled with her face flushed.

“I…. won?”

“Huh?”

The young ladies looked like they didn’t understand what just happened as well. I suppressed my laughter and suggested something to Lynette.

“Lynette, would you like to try it with Ash this time just to be fair?”

I used a friendly tone on purpose and called Ash by name.

“Yes!”

For a moment Ash grappled reluctantly with Lynette, as he glared at me as if to tear me apart.

Lynette wore a dress with exposed collarbones, so she’s covering her chest with one hand that’s why her conditions were worse than mine.

But the result was Lynette’s victory.

“Hyuk.”

“What? Lynette won!”

“What is this… “

Ash couldn’t hide his embarrassment. Of course, he has simply expected that I had developed muscle strength by using magic, but he got it wrong.

The magic took effect on the moment Ash took my hand. I now possess Ash’s strength.

It was a kind of spell that couldn’t have taken an effect without physical contact and takes away the opponent’s physical abilities.

Since such magic requires a fairly elaborate technique, no one but Ash would have guessed that Adele, who had not officially learned magic, would have done it.

Yet Adele has never officially shown magic in front of other people, and therefore not everyone knows the extent of his ability.

They only knew that Adele Magnus was a genius who was talented in magic.

“No way! Ash, do it with me!”

“Do it with me too!”

As the young ladies who were watching from behind ran in with their eyes twinkling, Ash pushed one of them hard.

He must have tried to use all of his strength in doing so, but the lady didn’t even budge.

Ash was taken aback for a moment but soon came close to me with a scary face.

“You! What have you done to me?”

“You want to hit me?”

I wasn’t really expecting him to hit me, and I was about to catch my weight right away but Lynette suddenly stood in front of me.

“No way! We’re all watching you. You’re not going to be rude to this beautiful lady, are you, Ash?”

Lynette, can I call you sister from now on?

“And my* Lady Anastasia is suffering from a chronic disease. You can be considerate!”

But when did I become your* Anastasia?

_{(t/n: Lynette called her [uri] Anastasia’ here and uri really meant [our], but in some cases, Koreans also use it as [my], usually as an endearment. You can commonly hear this on kdramas)} 

For some reason, Ash didn’t rush at Lynette, half revealing his half-hearted nature. Instead, he threatened with a harsh voice that seemed to suppress his anger.

“Get out of my way. I need to talk to her.”

“I won’t get scared even if I make that face. You’re weaker than I am!”

Lynette shouted.

You’re weaker than I am! You’re weaker than I am! Weaker than I am….

Those phrases seemed to echo throughout the hall.

“……this is a temporary phenomenon. All right, you’ll see when I get back to normal.”

And then Adele’s gonna kick you out?

Ash left with a spout of abuse. He was not a gentleman at all.

Lynette pulled me as the other young ladies watched Ash’s back with anxiety and astonishment.

“Hurry up and sit down, Anastasia. You might get tired quickly if you stand up and for a long time.”

She doesn’t look surprised like everyone else.  Lynette seems to know about Ash’s dirty temper. Who is she?

“Thank you for your concern.”

Lynette covered her face with her hands when I threw her my best smile.

“Oh, so blinding!”

“…..Lady Lynette?”

What is she doing? She’s starting to look more and more extraordinary. And she’s a great beauty as well. By the way, is she an extra? But I don’t remember the name Lynette from the book. Is that a nickname?

Lynette coughed in vain as I stared at her.

“Well, of course, it was something that had to be done.”

When the uproar ended, people dispersed again and began to chat among themselves.

Several Young Ladies came near us and tease Lynette with a playful voice.

“Lady Lynette, aren’t you too close to Lady Sinclair?”

“Others might think that you have something else on your mind.”

“Well, it can’t be helped. Lady Lynette only loses her mind when she sees pretty people after all.”

My ears perked up.

Before I knew it, the young ladies had already sat around me. They look at my face with twinkling eyes.

No, I know I’m pretty, but I also get embarrassed when I get this much attention…

“Well, actually, Lady Sinclair is really beautiful.”

“When I first saw you, I thought I saw a goddess walking.”

“That’s right. Now that I look at it, Ash’s looks aren’t really that much of a big deal. When he stood next to Lady Sinclair, Ash looked really normal.”

Ash played so well with the Young Ladies, that’s why I’m a bit surprised at what I’m hearing.

I listened to every word of the ladies. And I got one hint.

A beautiful woman with black hair who loses her reason when she sees pretty people.

A person of such a position that even Ash can’t treat her carelessly.

….huh?

“….by the way, is Lynette your full name?”

I can even hear the fear in my question but Lynette who was oblivious to that only shyly put her hand on her cheek. Her teary eyes that look in a daze and thick lips gave off a quaint look.

“Oh my, are you finally interested in me? My full name is Lynettia Bliss.”

*Cough*

It wasn’t the time to be happy for feeding Ash dirt.

This is an emergency!

“Oh, my! Anastasia coughed! How can someone be so beautiful when they cough?… It’s so lovely that I want to hear it more. No, that’s not it. I’ll give you water! Now, don’t be shy and open your lips slightly. I’ll feed you slowly.”

Lynette smiled and lifted the glass. Then she put it on my lips.

“Ah~”

I’m going crazy! This sister is a villain!

Lynettia Bliss. 

Daughter of the Duke of Bliss, the nephew of the Emperor.

She preferred beautiful people regardless of gender and had a desire to collect them.

By the time the novel was just beginning, Lynette was also very interested in Olga.

Even though Lynette liked the gorgeous beauty, her tastes aside, Olga was nice, so she quickly caught her interest.

However, Olga, who was so pure and proud of her idiocy, thoroughly betrayed Lynette’s expectations.

One day, Lynette gave Olga a very expensive dress as a gift to keep her close.

Olga, who designs her own clothes, was much burdened and tried to return them, but she was advised that doing such a thing was much ruder.

Olga gave a dress to a sick maid after much consideration.

She kindly told her to sell it and prepare for the treatment, but the maid was shocked to see the diamond on the dress. The maid disappeared with a dress and never came back.

When Lynette learned of the facts, she had a grudge. The two began to get into friction, and at the peak of the play, Lynette tried to feed Olga poison to turn her into a vegetative state, she even tried to skin her face.

This villain sister was even scarier because she preferred doing the acts herself, straight-forwardly rather than doing a trick on Olga’s back.

“It’s alright. I can drink it myself.”

I managed to refuse. Lynette wrapped my pitifully trembling hand.

“But Anastasia, your hands are shaking.”

If you lose your temper, you’ll lose sight of everything. That’s what happened to Ash just now. It seems that he almost tried to pull out my eyeballs alive because he wanted to dig up my alliance with Adele.

“You were scared, weren’t you? Ash is actually a very high-strung person. He’s sensitive, and if somebody doesn’t bow down to himself, he’ll feel disgusted and retaliates. Still, Ash likes pretty girls, but Anastasia had a particularly cold side. Is it just me?”

My mouth is dry. Lynette captured me in her sparkling purple eyes.

“Or was he jealous of Lord Magnus?”

“Huh?”

I was surprised to hear about Adele all of a sudden. Lynette gave an alluring smile.

“Hoo-hoo, nothing. I’ve got a big harvest called YOU today, so let’s move on.”

She flashed me a smile. It was a chilling smile. I stared blankly at the glass of water Lynette handed me, calculating the probability of the odds that I would fall asleep and never wake up again if would drink this.

At that time, a lady shook her head.

“Oh my, what’s wrong?”

I was thirsty and couldn’t stand it any longer. I don’t know anymore. I gulped down the water. Lynette was happily watching me as I did.

In the meantime, the Ladies exchanged stories with each other.

“Ash left something behind. It looks like a frame.”

Ack! I jumped up feeling the water I just drank, almost coming out of my nose.

“Give me that!”

I snatched the frame quickly. I tilted my body to the other side so that Lynette could not see it, but unfortunately, Lady sitting next to me saw my drawing.

The Lady mumbled with a very subtle expression.

“I think I just saw something amazing.”

“Did you see that? What was it?”

Of course, everyone showed curiosity. I sweated cold.

I never wanted to admit that my drawing skills were the worst, but Ash’s reaction was so blatant that I couldn’t help but accept it. I don’t want my image to be broken already!

The lady frowned.

“Well, I suddenly felt that my vision is getting tired… I think I’ll have to rest it after seeing Lady Sinclair’s face!”

It was dangerous to stay here any longer. I spoke in a voice that was as low as I could.

“I’m going back now. I’ve been out for a long time, so I’m getting tired. See you next time.”

Then the good ladies immediately became worried about me.

“Then you should hurry home and rest.”

“I had a great time today, Lady Sinclair. By the way, can we call each other by our names next time we meet? I want to be close to you.”

The villain sister called me by name, but the other ladies were polite. I replied hurriedly.

“Of course!”

Feeling guilty, I left my seat. I was heading to the carriage with a frame in my arms, and I felt someone following me when I entered the well-made path.

As I turned my head, I saw an elegant and sexy beauty with black hair.

In a black dress, Lynettia Bliss looks like a queen.

Lynette, wearing high-heeled shoes, walked softly and stood in front of me.

“I want to give you something. Anastasia, take this.”

I looked down at the object that the villain sister gave me. It was decorated with diamonds and amethyst.

“It’s my brooch. It’s a token of my desire to be friends with Anastasia.”

I’ll die if I accept this, but I’ll also die if I refuse!

If I accept this, I would be painfully persecuted a little later, and if I refused, I would suffer terrible retaliation.

Ohh~ we have a bi villainess queen here!

Anastasia, you psycho magnet HAHAHA
