The Main Character is the Villain

"It's a woman."

I tapped Maria's face with my knife. Randolph Arthur reached out to stop me, then flinched back. Maria shouted.

"....Kill me! I... I am a most heinous rogue... and, um... I hold a great grudge against Young Lady Lorelei Eva!"

"Rosalyn Yuba."

"What?"

"It's Young Lady Rosalyn Yuba, you crazy bitch. If you're going to memorize your lines, at least get them right."

I corrected Maria's line, dumbfounded. It seemed Maria had no interest in Rosalyn Yuba's personal information either. Maria shouted, her pink hair swaying. Her face was bright red.

"Th-That's the same thing! Anyway, I am a rogue! I have no connection whatsoever to Young Master Randolph Arthur here!"

At those words, the escort guards who were cleaning up the area, as well as AA and Randolph, all stared at Maria with wide eyes.

"Did she say Young Master?"

"She just said Young Master, didn't she?"

As if realizing her mistake from the murmuring noise, Maria tried to explain again.

"I-It, it was an expression used to be sarcastic! I harbor a great hatred for nobles, so..."

"Right, that could be it!"

Randolph Arthur was agreeing with Maria's bullshit. Looking at them like this, they were a well-matched idiot duo, so why did they try to attack Young Lady Rosalyn Yuba? I looked at Robin. Robin was clearing his throat, standing beside Young Lady Rosalyn Yuba's carriage. The escort guards didn't let down their vigilance toward Robin either.

"....Please state your name."

"I am Robin, Knight Commander of the Knight Order under Southern High Priest Peta Lusius."

".....How did you come to be here?"

"Well..."

Robin's eyes darted around, searching for something to say. I explained for him.

"While our Knight Commander and I were building some fellowship, we saw you were in a dilemma and came over."

"....While wearing masks?"

I frowned, looking toward the carriage. This whole incident had occurred, yet Young Lady Rosalyn Yuba hadn't shown her face at all. The escort guards' attitude was also quite unpleasant. Robin glanced furtively at the carriage and said.

"We have circumstances that make it difficult to reveal our faces."

The escort guards still looked unconvinced at his words, but they lowered their guard slightly. A murmuring voice was heard from inside the carriage.

"Is it all over?"

A clear and pure voice leaked from the carriage. Even though it was a voice we had only heard once at a performance, AA and I couldn't help but flinch unconsciously. It was like a music box had been turned on. An echo-like resonance spread far and wide, following the end of her words. That woman. What would it be like to pin her down in bed and fuck her? She'd probably make some incredible moaning sounds.

I shook my head, dismissing such a vain imagination. Still, a fat woman was a bit much, and she was to become Knight Commander Robin's woman. Stealing another man's woman was an act that should never be done, so I decided to stop.

"Yes. It's over."

"Good. Then let's depart. Hand over the attackers to them."

"Hey? Wait. Hold on."

After saying that, Young Lady Rosalyn Yuba tried to drive the carriage and depart. Dumbfounded, I grabbed the horse's reins and forcibly stopped the carriage. The coachman yelped and trembled, and the escort guards pointed their spears and swords at me, shouting.

"What do you think you're doing!"

"What am I doing? What the fuck do you mean, what am I doing? We fucking helped you, so you should at least show your face, Young Lady Rosalyn Yuba."

A murmuring sound was heard again from inside the carriage. As the escort guards leaned their ears toward the carriage, that beautiful tone spread out again.

".....Who are you? You don't seem to be a mere knight."

I had no choice. If Robin and Young Lady Rosalyn Yuba were to even see each other's faces here, I had to reveal my identity and receive a formal expression of gratitude. AA was tying up Maria and Randolph Arthur, who were collapsed on the ground. Randolph Arthur kept shouting his innocence.

"Let, let go! I'm telling you, I'm innocent! I don't know this woman! Maria has nothing to do with me!"

"Young Master Arthur......"

Maria was looking at Randolph with a pleading gaze. After tying the two of them up perfectly, AA looked at me with a satisfied gaze and gave me a thumbs-up. I gave AA a thumbs-up in return, then took off my mask and spoke.

"I am Peta Lusius, Lord of Peta Territory and Southern High Priest of the Archdeity Church. They say one shouldn't expect a price for help, but aren't you being far too rude to your benefactors? If Robin hadn't discovered the attack, it would have been a disaster. Is a single word of thanks so hard for you to offer?"

".....I shall convey my gratitude tomorrow via a written document."

She was an obstinate bitch. I knew the nobles of this world were wackos and crazy bitches, but I had never seen one so brazen. I glanced over the coachman and the escort guards and asked.

"Are you that busy? So busy you can't even show your face and express your gratitude in person?"

I felt myself slowly getting heated. Robin's marriage issue didn't matter anymore. We might have done the same thing, but Robin was still undeniably the benefactor who saved Young Lady Rosalyn Yuba from the attack incident perpetrated by the Randolph Family's soldiers. And this is how she treats her benefactor?

"Is a greeting that important? Surely it's not because you have some ulterior motive toward me?"

Hearing her make such a tempting statement with that beautiful voice, my vision momentarily went black. But I quickly blinked and took a deep breath to compose myself. Her voice was a canary's, but what was inside was an Iberian pig.

"I am married, Young Lady Rosalyn Yuba."

When I indirectly denied it, Rosalyn Yuba pressed me once more.

"I heard from my honored grandfather about a marriage proposal with Knight Commander Robin of Peta Territory tomorrow. I can't help but suspect that you, High Priest Peta Lusius, and Knight Commander Robin approached me not out of pure goodwill, but with the intention of making the marriage proposal go well."

Is this something you say to the person who saved you? I just shook my head and backed away. Listening to Young Lady Rosalyn Yuba, it was clear she was just a rotten bitch by nature. To a single word telling her to come out and apologize, she brought up her own grandfather; there was no way I could win. I looked at Robin and said.

"Robin. Let's go back. This... kid..."

"Yes. I have an ulterior motive."

Robin answered, his face flushed red. The escort guards flinched at his words. Being close to the carriage, I heard Young Lady Rosalyn Yuba gasp. Robin trembled but didn't stop talking. It was the moment the man, who had always been taciturn and knew nothing but to pledge his loyalty to me, revealed his pure love for the first time.

"It's true that I approached you hoping I could earn Young Lady Rosalyn Yuba's favor. But it's also true that I jumped in to save you because you were in real danger. Have you never had feelings for someone else, Young Lady Rosalyn Yuba? I first met you at the performance hall. That day, I fell for the song you sang, and for your graceful appearance."

As soon as Robin finished speaking, I could feel movement inside the carriage. I could feel the carriage tilting from side to side each time Rosalyn Yuba's heavy body moved within it.

"A Thousand-Pound Pendulum?"

"Yes?"

"No. It's nothing."

When AA reacted to my muttering, I shook my head as if it were nothing. I almost ruined the mood. Rosalyn Yuba's voice flew through the carriage door. She let out a rather sorrowful voice.

".....You think I'm beautiful? You're making fun of me. My honored grandfather always tells me I'm beautiful, but I know the truth. I know that I'm a very fat and ugly person. The only talent I have is singing, and people only see me as an object for a political marriage. Aren't you the same? Aren't you just thinking 'what the heck' and trying to marry me to gain the power of the Rosalyn Family?"

Just from her voice, you could tell it was overflowing with sorrow. Using the rich expressiveness from her singing to lament her fate gave it powerful persuasiveness. Did the escort guards know of Rosalyn Yuba's predicament? With somber expressions, they were either looking at the ground or wiping away tears while staring at the carriage wheels.

"No. I truly believe that you, Young Lady Rosalyn Yuba, are beautiful."

".....Anyone can say that with words. How many times do you think I've been hurt by love that's just words? How can I believe you're any different from the rude people out there who talk about my appearance?"

Robin replied in a resolute tone.

"No matter what you say, Young Lady Rosalyn Yuba is the most beautiful person to me! I can even praise which parts are beautiful."

"....Pardon?"

Rosalyn Yuba's voice was flustered. Robin began to shout in a louder and louder voice.

"If I had to pick the most beautiful part of Young Lady Rosalyn Yuba, it would have to be her belly fat! The belly fat that moves rhythmically from side to side whenever she moves! People who don't know the charm of that belly fat may laugh at Young Lady Rosalyn Yuba, but I love that belly fat!"

"W-Wait! Wh-What are you doing!"

"After the belly fat is the chin fat! That chin that forms a triple layer whenever Young Lady Rosalyn Yuba puts strength into it to sing! No slender chin of any beauty on the continent can even compare to your thick chin fat!"

"N-No, wait... please... please...!"

"And we can't leave out the charm of your forearm fat! Whenever you raise your hands to the sky while singing, the fat jiggles and..."

"Stop! Please stop! I get it, so please just stop!"

Robin's long speech, which sounded like a debate at a meat buffet over which cut is the best, was over.

The escort guards couldn't maintain their composure and had their heads bowed low. I had to clench my teeth to keep from laughing. I couldn't see AA's expression because of the mask, but seeing them stare into the distance or look at the hapless criminals, it seemed they were having a hard time holding back laughter.

Rosalyn Yuba said.

"I... I'll think about the marriage. Th-Thank you."

Young Lady Rosalyn Yuba never came out of the carriage in the end. But judging by her voice, this operation could be called a great success. As I watched the carriage drive away, AA asked me.

"Sir Priest. What should we do with these people?"

"Well."

What should I do?
