I Have been Reincarnated As a Lazy, Arrogant Noble, but When I Destroyed The Scenario Through Effort, I Became The Most Powerful With Extraordinary Magical Power - 3

003 – [Lillith Scarlet] Side

I, Lillith Scarlet, am a maid serving the Fancent family.

And their eldest son, Lord Weiss Fancent, used to be incredibly arrogant, violent, and enjoyed trampling over others.

No, he used to be like that…

Recently, after striking me with a whip two or three times, he somehow started treating me kindly.

He healed my body with recovery magic I had somehow remembered, and ever since then, he has transformed into a wonderful gentleman who cares for everyone around him.

In the past, he would shout and throw his meals at the servants, saying, “Are you trying to kill me with this awful food?” But lately, he eats bread neatly without leaving a drop of soup behind.

All the slaves in the mansion were dismissed, but those who wanted to continue working were paid as servants.

Some fear that this is merely the first step to pushing us into despair, but I don’t believe that.

I understand.

His eyes… they’re different. The current Lord Weiss has a clear gaze.

And sometimes, when I approach him, his cheeks turn slightly red. It’s incredibly cute and makes my heart flutter.

I don’t yet understand what this feeling is, but when I look at Lord Weiss, my heart feels at ease.

Furthermore, he has started reading books every day and practices basic training with Milch Sensei.

His appearance and physique are becoming more masculine.

What surprised me even more was how knowledgeable he has become about the business of the Fancent family.

His mind seems to work faster than even those specialized in that field. He has already found several mistakes and made adjustments for the coming year.

But as soon as I step into town, I hear the voices of the people condemning Lord Weiss. His negative reputation has spread far and wide.

Before, I would simply brush it off. Honestly, because it was true.

But now, it’s different. It pains me to hear those things.

No, that’s not it. Lord Weiss has changed— that’s what I want to shout loudly. However, if I were to say that, people would think that Lord Weiss is forcing me to say it.

So, I subtly spread rumors that hint at the truth.

He’s working hard, he loves books, the slaves were freed, he never leaves any food behind.

Slowly, while still wanting to spread the truth.

I always used to believe that people couldn’t change.

But no, Lord Weiss taught me otherwise.

People can change— that’s what he taught me.

I’ve been in the business of killing people since I was a child.

Even in the Fancent family, I’ve killed many, no, dozens of people as a shadow assassin. They were all criminals, but I couldn’t bring myself to like that side of me.

I want to be reborn like Lord Weiss.

I don’t want to hurt anyone anymore.

“Lillith, were you there? Would you like to take a stroll in the garden? I need to… alleviate my muscle soreness.”

“Muscle soreness? I don’t quite understand, but of course! Let’s go!”

“L-Lillith, it hurts when you hold my arm…”

“Hehe, I’m sorry.”

But if anyone were to hurt Lord Weiss… I won’t show them any mercy.
