Chapter 1
[Expel the Evil Villainess to the Monastery.]
Drip.
The red paint flows down the wall.
“Damn.”
Today, the wall of the estate is filled with the anger of the commoners.
Ricardo, who is now 23 years old, wipes away the stubborn graffiti with a rag and lets out a sigh.
‘How did I end up like this?’
As a cleaner, I’m doing a job that’s fit for a servant, and as I lament my miserable life, I hear the conversation of the guards patrolling the alley.
“Captain of the Guard, is this the house where Olivia lives?”
“Yes.”
“Wow… I heard she was expelled from her household, and it’s true. As a noble, the wall of her estate is… it’s like a ghost will appear.”
Plod.
The gentle voice of the Captain of the Guard echoes off the wall.
“Let’s skip the patrol here and just pass by.”
“But don’t we have to patrol?”
“It’s the house of that Villainess, isn’t it?”
I turn my head to remember the back of the two men.

‘I wondered where my taxes were going, and it was being used for this.’
“Haa.”
A sigh escapes.
The management of the estate is a mess.
It’s like a ghost will appear, and so on.
A mere guard looking down on the daughter of a duke is ridiculous.
“Tax Leechers.”
I’m angry not just because they’re disrespecting my master, but also because they didn’t take any action while our estate’s wall was in this state.
They insulted my master.
It’s true, though.

Desmond Olivia.
She is the Evil Villainess who appears in the novel “The Strongest in the Academy likes me.”
She envies the attention the Heroine receives and likes the Male Lead, who later becomes the Hero, but when she doesn’t get what she wants, she takes it out on the Heroine.
That Evil Villainess is Desmond Olivia, the owner of this estate.
Olivia was excellent.
Before the Heroine appeared.
She was called the Flower of Society, and her exceptional Magical Talent and the backing of her household made her the best candidate to be a nun.
And she had a gentle heart, enough to save me, who was possessed by the Orphan of the Slum, 13 years ago.
Her Butler.
In other words, my past self owed her a life 13 years ago.
It wasn’t a big deal. After being possessed for a week, I was trying to scold a Little Kid, but I got beaten up instead, and she saved me.
She pitied me and gave me a job at the estate.
In the original story, she gets a taste of her own medicine and gets expelled, but I, who got entangled with her unintentionally, decided to repay her kindness.
I did my best to prevent her from meeting the same end as in the novel.
-Let’s go on a diet, Young Lady.
-Ricardo, shut up!
-Let’s be quiet and exercise.
I fixed the things that made her a laughing stock in the original story, both external and internal.
-Young Lady, don’t use violence recklessly.
-No! She called me a fool!
-Hmm, still, it’s not allowed.
-Why not!
-At times like this, you should order me, your subordinate, to take care of it. I’ll go and discipline her.
In the original story, I bribed the people who threatened her and solved the problems that gave her a grudge, and as a result, the grudge was directed towards me.
For 13 years.
I can confidently say that I did my best to support her until she became an adult.
I was able to prevent the tragic future that awaited her in the original story.
Until she entered the Academy.
Olivia met a commoner man at the Academy.
Mikhail, with his excellent appearance, who would later become the Hero.
He was the Sub Male Lead who drove Olivia to her death in the original story.
Olivia started to have a one-sided love for Mikhail.
Honestly, it was understandable.
I only read that he was handsome, but I didn’t expect him to be that good-looking.
Exceptional personality and excellent appearance.
A perfect man with no flaws.
Even I, a man, thought he was amazing, so how would a woman feel? She must have been infatuated.
Mikhail was that kind of biased man.
Olivia liked Mikhail.
She said it was because he saved her from a lake, but for someone who knows her eventual demise, it’s a terrifying story.
So I tried to stop Olivia.
-Ricardo, I think I’ve met my Fated Partner.
-Me?
-Shut up.
-Is he handsome?
-Yes, he’s really handsome and kind.
-And what about me?
I caught Olivia stalking Mikhail and scolded her.
-That’s a crime, Young Lady.
-But I’m curious about Mikhail’s daily life.
-You can’t just install a Visual Magic Tool in someone’s house.
-Don’t most people do that?
-I’m more curious about your mental state, Young Lady.
I followed Mikhail to the training grounds and shouted to lower his Favorability.
-Ricardo, Mikhail has already knocked out three people.
-Wow, I could take him down with one blow.
-You…!
-I’m skilled in swordsmanship. I’ll go down and show you.
And then I got beaten up by Mikhail.
The more I interfered, the more Olivia’s love for Mikhail grew.
The more she faced hardships, the more she liked him. But doesn’t that mean she’s ignoring the hardships I’m facing for her sake?
Anyway, Olivia confessed to Mikhail at the end of the first semester.
-I like you, Mikhail.
-I’m sorry, Young Lady.
Cold rejection and Olivia, who is crying loudly.
It unfolded just like the original story.
‘Damn.’
Mikhail liked the Heroine, so he rejected Olivia.
‘What a fool. There’s no woman with bigger breasts than Olivia. Is he a lolicon?’
That Guy didn’t accept anyone’s confession.
Not even the Third Princess’s.
Not even the Daughter of the Tower Master’s.
Not even Olivia’s.
The only answer he gave was ‘I’m sorry’.
From this point on, Olivia’s future unfolded just like the original story.
It was filled with madness, and she did all sorts of crazy things to win Mikhail’s heart.
She spent a fortune.
-I don’t want the dirty money made from the blood of commoners.
-What…?
She tried to blackmail him using his weaknesses.
-If you don’t date me, I’ll make sure the Heroine can’t set foot in the Academy.
-I won’t let that happen. Please don’t do anything so vile.
When the blackmail didn’t work, she even knelt down and begged.
-Please, just date me for a month. I’ll do anything.
-No.
In the end, Olivia bullied the Heroine, just like in the original story.
-Don’t play with that commoner woman.
She attended every party the Heroine attended and made the worst memories.
-Ricardo, do you see that vulgar woman?
-No, I don’t see her.
-Shut up and look straight.
-…
-Lock her in the wardrobe until the party’s over.
-Do you have to go that far?
-It’s better than killing her, right?
-I’ll do as you say.
But the Heroine overcame her hardships, just like the Protagonist should.
Indeed, the Heroine.
The Crown Prince helped her, and the Disciple of the Tower Master assisted her.
The entire world was on the Heroine’s side.
By the end of the first semester.
Olivia had completely fallen apart.
The Duke, who had loved Olivia, gave up on her, and even her Older Brother treated her like trash.
By the end of the first semester, I was the only one left by Olivia’s side.
I thought it was fortunate that Olivia didn’t make the same drastic decision as in the original story.
At first, I only thought about my own livelihood, but now I wanted Olivia to grow up healthy and strong after being with her for 13 years.
Even if we lost our wealth and honor, as long as we could live peacefully in the outskirts, it would be better than the original story.
But life didn’t go as I had hoped.
-Young Lady, please don’t do this.
-Shut up. Mikhail is mine. He’ll understand me.
-Please come to your senses. Don’t you know that nothing will change no matter what you do?
-Shut up. You’re just a beggar from the slums. What do you know? You’re just a butler who’s been with me for a long time.
She used Dark Magic.
In the Empire, even royalty would be punished for using Dark Magic, so it was unthinkable for a Duke’s daughter to use it.
She would certainly be expelled from her household.
She would definitely lose all her wealth.
Her favorite dress.
Her gems.
The noble ladies who fawned over her.
She would lose everything she had.
But Olivia, blinded by love, used Dark Magic to brainwash Mikhail.
-Ahhhh! Ahhh!
-Young Lady!
-Ricardo, my legs! My legs! My legs!
The outcome was a failure, of course.
The Doctor said.
-The magic circuit was completely burned out due to the side effects of the Dark Magic.
-What does that have to do with her legs? Why can’t she move them?
-It seems that the nerves connected to her lower body were also burned out.
-What do you mean? Explain it in a way that I can understand.
-It’s impossible for her to walk on her own from now on.
-What are you talking about? Say it again.
-I said it’s impossible for her to walk on her own.
From then on, Olivia’s life was over.
She was excommunicated.
She was abandoned.
Only the large estate remained.
Olivia was no longer the Flower of Society, and she couldn’t even walk on her own.
***
As I stared at the wall all day, the filthy writing on it had faded away.
With the master’s downfall, there was nothing to do, and my only task was to attend to the Young Lady, who was bedridden.
I thought that if I could just finish my work and feed the Young Lady dinner, my day would be over, but the thought of the fine imposed due to the Dark Magic made my eyes close in frustration.
There were many things to do.
I had to work hard to improve the Young Lady’s condition.
With the household’s support cut off, I had to earn a living.
Although it was tough, I could bear it as long as the Young Lady didn’t make the same drastic decision as in the original story.
I put the dirty rag in the bucket.
The dirty water in the bucket.
It felt good to have done something.
What should I make for dinner tonight?
“Maybe I’ll make the steak the Young Lady likes…”
The sky is filthily clear.
The paint will dry faster in this weather, so I quickly filled the bucket with water and washed the rag.
That’s when.
-Kudahang Tang!
A loud noise came from the Young Lady’s room.
