Get Ahead of the Fallen Heroine and Make the Bull-Headed Man the Victim - Chapter 152



Chapter 152.

It’s not that I can’t win; I just want to make it a bit more challenging for myself.

“Ah? You’re saying that kid is not only with Tina but also with another unknown beautiful woman, and they’re all together?!”

That noon, in a noble family’s guest room, Allen, who had been resurrected and was still preparing for a counterattack, heard something that shocked his worldview.

The fact that the ordinary human boy Clyde, whom he looked down upon, was not only with his student Valentina but also laughing and chatting with another unfamiliar beauty.

This revelation hit Allen hard, causing him to instinctively press his head, beginning to doubt whether he was hearing things.

“I can assure you, what I saw with my own eyes is definitely true, Lord Allen.”

From noble mtl dot com

The demon servant disguised as the family’s steward bowed respectfully to Allen, his old face filled with seriousness, making it impossible for Allen to doubt this fact.

However, to be precise, the current situation itself was quite strange.

According to the few subordinates he had left, he had actually failed once, defeated by Valentina and killed by her. It was those evil sorcerers he saw when he woke up who wanted to use him for some nefarious purpose that brought him back to life.

Yet his own memories were stuck at the moment before he was about to act, leaving him with a strange sense of defeat, as if to say, “I clearly haven’t even started yet, and you’re telling me I’ve already died once?”

—

Originally, he had planned to gather the remnants of the demon clan lurking in the royal capital, but he never expected that in just a short span of ten days to half a month, the kid he had once looked down upon was already preparing to establish a harem?

That, that kind of thing!

That kind of thing is truly the best!

Isn’t this a chance for him to redeem his past shame while doubling the pleasure of the Minotaur?

Just thinking about it, a look of extreme excitement surfaced on Allen’s previously shocked face.

“Yeah, you are that kind of man. If you weren’t, it wouldn’t be you.”

At that moment, Noah, who was in the dilapidated temple, looked at this most persistent yellow-haired character with a rather speechless expression.

Noah knew that Allen, upon hearing the victim say “establish a harem,” wouldn’t feel discouraged; instead, he would be even more eager to snatch Clyde’s harem away.

Let him misunderstand for now; Noah saw no need to explain that Agatha couldn’t actually be part of Clyde’s harem.

…Although it wouldn’t be entirely impossible.

Noah shifted his gaze to the other side, where the magic circle monitor was keeping an eye on the fake princess, Agatha, and the victim, Clyde.

At that moment, the three were teaming up to tackle a newly mutated monster. According to the Adventurers’ Guild, this time the mutated creature was a large Minotaur, possessing a strength that other adventurers in the royal capital could not match.

Logically, Clyde, the victim, should have been a complete liability, but for some reason, he had suddenly become stronger than the average adventurer, and Agatha was there guiding him on how to use his magical power.

Since the plot had completely diverged from the original, Noah had lost the god’s-eye view and didn’t know what would happen next.

But Noah felt that the victim was like someone who had suddenly gained a “protagonist’s halo,” not only favored by a beautiful woman but also dragging him along to clear dungeons.

If this continued, Agatha might really be attracted to the victim’s gentle demeanor.

What was most troublesome was that the true protagonist, Valentina, was stuck with the victim, who was just a counterfeit. She didn’t see any problem with Agatha being nice to Clyde; in fact, she was even concerned about him, which only highlighted Clyde’s status as the true protagonist.

This left Noah speechless; if he hadn’t played the original story before, he might have thought he had entered a game world where Clyde was the protagonist.

Just in case, Noah took one last look at the situation with the nun.

Hmm… No problem, she still looked like a proper nun, whether in battle or listening to confessions in the grand cathedral’s confessional, always displaying a kind and gentle demeanor.

As long as the main storyline—specifically the lewd-related plot—wasn’t triggered, the nun seemed to have no issues at all.

For now, leaving that side alone was fine.

“…Alright, although I really want to find the princess and spend some time with her, I’ll let it go for now. Let’s just pretend I was deceived and think about how to deal with the princess’s moves.”

Noah leisurely lay back on the sofa, closed his eyes, and began to consider which script he should choose to achieve the greatest effect.

Noah’s goal was to take away the resurrected yellow-haired guy, the victim, and that likely divine messenger, Agatha, all in one go.

Following the previous pattern, Noah should find a way to make the princess take action herself, accumulating her dissatisfaction towards him, so that he could make his grand entrance as the final boss on her path to corruption.

However, now the princess had actively “disappeared” from the story.

The purpose of her disappearance was most likely a rebellion against Noah treating her like a toy.

Though she had vanished, she was surely still lurking in the shadows, observing the situation.

And to make her regret her “disappearance,” increasing her feelings of aversion towards him.

—

In order to make her hate herself even more, Noah had already decided to pretend he didn’t know, treating the current imposter as the true Princess.

When she finally sensed something was off and jumped out on her own, Noah would deliberately act as if he didn’t recognize her; she would surely be furious.

However, the biggest problem now was that the current villain wasn’t very strong.

The resurrected Allen hadn’t gained any power; if it were just the imposter and the victim, they would be in for a tough battle.

But with Agatha’s presence, the three of them attacking Allen basically had no chance of losing.

Noah had to provide help to the blonde Allen, just like a goddess sending down Agatha.

Even though Noah actually despised Allen.

“Ugh, but I really don’t like that guy. If I have to help him directly, I might as well just flip the table myself.”

Noah, lying on the sofa with his eyes closed, let out a helpless sigh, shifting a few times before finding a more comfortable position.

His script was basically already conceived; the problem was that he didn’t want to step in directly, nor did he want to help the blonde Allen outright.

But without his assistance, if things continued like this, Allen would have no effect on the Princess’s corruption, coming back to life only to die again in vain.

Was there really no way to indirectly help Allen? At the very least, he needed to help weaken Agatha.

This way, the victim, who felt they couldn’t defeat Allen, would most likely surrender, and the Princess, lurking in the shadows, would be thoroughly disappointed in the victim, deepening her resentment and corruption.

Even if they didn’t surrender, it didn’t matter; Noah had plenty of ways to expose the victim’s shameful nature in front of the Princess during this incident.

Pawns.

Noah needed pawns to continue the Princess’s corruption.

Wasn’t there a villain who wouldn’t make Noah feel so disgusted, one he could use without any psychological burden afterward?

…Oh right! What about the Grand Princess! How could he have forgotten her!

Speaking of which, it seemed the Grand Princess was performing some strange ritual to pray for divine protection; wasn’t that just perfect for him to exploit!

Suddenly reminded of the original story’s protagonist’s malicious sister, Noah immediately opened his eyes, a wicked smile creeping onto his lips.
