I Became the Villain’s Trainer - Chapter 40

Chapter 40

“Hey, Alexa…?”

Of course, humans will not be able to understand the special cry of the wolves at this time, but it was utterly embarrassing.

“Yes?”

Violetta said solemnly, “You have to stay still in the bedroom for a while – with Ysu and Terrun.”

Alexa opened her eyes widely. Is something dangerous happening? I haven’t heard any warning from Visten.

Violet couldn’t hide her concerns as she looked at Alexa and coughed.

“Ahem… everyone is in the recovery phase. Wolves are usually the most sensitive during this time.”

Violeta just wanted to keep her mouth shut. Recovery period? Was there something like that? Please be fooled. Violeta was looking at Alexa with that kind of expression.

Fortunately, Alexa smiled and nodded, contrary to Violeta’s worries.

“Yes! I will do that.”

Violeta breathed a sigh of relief.

But in spite of her concerns, Alexa realized what that cry meant. She was a devoted reader of the novel 《Puppy Grand Duke’s Successor Class》. In the novel’s settings, it was said that wolves returning from the battlefield would stay in their rooms for a week and won’t come out for a while.

(T/N: All I can say is, great stamina hahaha [blush])

‘This was it.’

Alexa stared intently at the children. Terrun and Ysildus stuck their noses on the food as if they had lost interest. They are still young babies.

‘I need to pay attention to them.’

There’s no way that the indifferent wolves who had their humanity wiped out of their system and have no sense of ethics, would take care of their children.

On the other hand, Violeta was relieved.

‘Alexa didn’t notice.’

She concluded that in the first place, Terrun wouldn’t understand at all. He’s also still young and smacking his lips with a dumb look. Anyway, it’s good in many ways. Violeta sighed.

Selina nibbled on her lips. The Grand Duke and Grand Duchess are back. It felt intimidating by just looking at them. Even if Selina was twisted, they would be the ones who would slaughter her with their sharp teeth.

“Sh*t. What should I do when they see me?”

She must cast out Alexa in order not to let go of Ruella’s rope, but even the top wolves who had to reject humans accepted her. It was moving toward her, perhaps leaning to Alexa who was an addition to this world.

Selina paced discontentedly around her room. There was no one outside and it was quiet, but there was a gloomy atmosphere. I just want to kick Alexa out. If it doesn’t work out, I will have to kill her and get her out of here – before Alexa could enter the Grand Duke’s eyes and win his heart. 

She and Alexa were similar in their appearance of being ‘weak’. No one would be surprised if such a weak entity tripped on her foot and fell to her death. Basically, humans die for the same reason.

“You can do it, Selina.”

Selina patted the bracelet around her wrist. The cool touch of her metal makes her tremble. The shackled Ruella put on her were poisons that would kill her any time. If she fails to prove her usefulness, Ruella will manipulate the bracelet to kill her. She can find as many sacrifices as possible to put here instead of Selina. She knew that another ‘Selina’ was ready. She somehow doesn’t want them to take her name away….

Selina’s eyes twinkled. Her intense desires engulfed her.

During the week Violetta said, Alexa was preoccupied with doing the homework that Karrolf had given her. So far, the only place she had been to was the library. Karrolf’s class was also postponed for a while, probably in order not to offend the Grand Duke.

Ysildus, who is said to resemble the Grand Duke, did not come out of Selina’s bedroom for a week after suffering a war or slaughter. Besides, everyone was so sensitive, so the castle was locked.

‘Like father, like son.’

Alexa nodded her head. Thanks to you, I have leisure time to study.

She sat on the rug and read a book, leaning against a cushion. Alexa’s right thigh belonged to Terrun, and her left thigh belonged to Ysildus. Two wolves lying with their heads side by side were snoring. Ysildus, who was gnawing at the ball because his body was sore, and Terrun, who was restless, barely fell asleep.

Alexa read the book, trying not to wake the two wolves. She had already found the answer for the homework Karrolf had given her, but there was still a mountain of information to organize in detail. Besides that, there were things Alexa had to think about.

She was pretending to read the book, but her head was full of other thoughts.

‘I already changed their fate. The plot of the novel also changed.’

It was too early for the Grand Duke and Grand Duchess to come back when she calculated the timing. It was only after Ysildus had gone his secondary sexual characteristics that the Grand Duke and Grand Duchess returned. Of course, they never came back as they had died while on their way back.

Thanks to this, Ysildus became an orphan as soon as he became a human being. It was Selina who shared the hardships and adversities with Ysildus. That was how they were able to build a strong relationship and fall in love.

‘But, Selina is no longer the female lead.’

That was Alexa’s conclusion.

The fate of the novel no longer points to Selina. After her fate changed, what Selina was supposed to do anyway was gone. Ysildus didn’t lose his parents, nor was he pushed to the battlefield at a young age. She doesn’t need her to comfort Ysildus and provide him mental support – because Ysildus’ humanity was the same with or without Selina.

‘I think things are a little better.’

The Emperor would still be after Thersion. Though there are quite a few things that have changed, there were some that didn’t change much. Things like the Emperor’s greed, or Thersion’s situation. Also, the existence of a possibly another sub male lead.

There are a total of three male leads in the novel 《Puppy Grand Duke’s Successor Class》: Ysildus and Terrun, and finally the Ninth Prince. It was on the battlefield that Selina and the Ninth Prince met.

‘Then where do they meet?’

And the new female lead….

‘Maybe me?’

Uh…. It was an assumption she wanted to deny a little bit.

Alexa scratched her nose. She alternately looked at the two wolves lying on her thigh.

First of all, Selina’s life as the female lead wasn’t so smooth. From the obsessive maniac Ysildus, the wolf in sheep’s clothing Terrun, to the handsome man in love Ninth Prince. It was good to be loved by three male leads. But the problem is not all three of them were human beings with good character.

First of all, this Ysildus… he was raised by Alexa but grew up as a pretty jerk with a very promising future…. Terrun may looked dumb, but if his knob is turned, he becomes crazy…. And the Ninth Prince who is soon to show up, pretends to be pitiful but his head is half-nutcase.

‘As expected, I can’t be the female lead.’

Alexa trembled. She focused on the book. No matter how much she thinks about it, she can’t be the female lead. The only way to be happy is to study hard, become a good doctor and become independent.

Alexa has already achieved its primary goal – to survive in this novel. And her new goal is to live properly – to not be betrayed, and not do anything that she will regret with her wrong choices.

Alexa let out a long sigh. And if there is one more thing she wants to achieve,

‘I want to see the end of this novel.’

She wondered what the end would be. Will it be the end of the world, or another extension? What will happen to Alexa when the novel reaches its ending? Her fear of the unknown was mixed with a little excitement.

The overall plot of this novel was, simply put, the process of ‘the usurpation of the throne’. Ysildus decided to kill the Emperor who was getting under his skin. But the wolf king was not better when he got feverish after….

The second half of the story entered the novel before it was even serialized. The first half was mainly about the growth of Ysildus and what happened on the battlefield.

‘Then will the Grand Duke and the Grand Duchess go to the next war?’

Then what about Ysildus? It gave her chills for a moment.

Alexa rubbed the back of her neck. She hadn’t thought of this. It was just that she was so engrossed in her desire to save the Grand Duke and Grand Duchess that she didn’t give any thought of the position Ysildus will be, and the things he had to do in the future.

The cause of Ysildus’ growth was the death of the Grand Duke and the Grand Duchess. A novel that walks the path of becoming an emperor as a Grand Duke… 

‘Now what?’

Alexa swallowed her saliva. Though she thought she had turned her fate, she never thought so deeply. In retrospect, she truly felt that from the bottom of her heart.

“I’m doomed….”

There were times when she thought she was doing well, but that’s not always the case, and it was the same as now. It was difficult to foretell the future because it was outside the plot of the novel.

Alexa covered his head with a book.
