When you realize you're a minor villain who will later be tortured, how will you feel?

More precisely, what if you knew you were the villain who did one of the world's most evil things to torture one of the most powerful beings in the world you live in?

More precisely, the creature is a lovely child, the future will either be killed or adopted, and you will be revenged by it later.

Venion was having that feeling, after regaining his past life memories.

The "interesting" thing is, his favorite character right now is his brother, and at the same time, the character he hates the most is himself.

Staring at the ceiling of his bedroom, Venion desperately hid his face in his pillow.

What the hell did he do in the past aaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

------------------------------------------------------------

First of all, he's still Venion, just with more past life memories.

He was still the one who broke his Orabuni's leg, torturing the little black dragon that was the bloodline of the last dragon lord.

Honestly, if Venion didn't have past life memories, he wouldn't have noticed anything wrong doing these things at all.

After all, only Orabuni was the only exception to the Stan family.

According to the quote he remembered, "The only good person in the Stan family".

....Honestly, how can Orabuni still be so good after his father's brainwashing lessons?

Venion hugged Taylor's shirt he had stolen in the past, thinking.

Yes, Venion in this world is a brocon.

(Or more accurately, Taylorcon?)

The problem was that like his other siblings, Venion had learned two things from a young age.

One, inheritance is the most important.

Second, do everything you can to get what you want, even destroy it.

So when inheritance rights and brotherly feelings clash....

For young Venion, the best course of action was to dispose of Taylor for the inheritance.

Thus Taylor has just been protected, and Venion also has the right to inherit.

A stupid decision that Venion now regrets a little, just a little.

Let's not talk about the Black Dragon anymore.

If Taylor remains the heir, the egg will go to Taylor instead of Venion.

Venion could imagine how Taylor surreptitiously hid and cared for the dragon, then turned the Stan family into the first aristocrat with a dragon's protection.

Again, one wrong step, the next thousand steps are all wrong.

The egg was now in Venion's hands, and according to his father's will, the dragon hatched from the egg that had been tortured for months.

Should Venion be lucky he hasn't done the "eat while watching torture" job yet?

Just kidding, he f*cking mother did it.

At least he hasn't talked about watching Black Dragon being tortured to make him eat better, even though the truth is the opposite, and it might actually come true if he did it longer and didn't get past life memories.

------------------------------------------------------------

Venion calmly ate the food on the plate, eyes watching everyone on the table.

That's not strange at all, because all the siblings at the table do it, with eyes filled with intrigue and killing intent.

Except for the "respectable" father, add him and Orabuni.

Venion's eyes were the type of eyes that would give the impression of being targeted even just by looking at them, so Venion didn't have to intentionally think about killing his siblings when he looked at them.

Taylor...if it wasn't for Cage (and Venion), he probably wouldn't have survived in the house since he was a kid from Venion's point of view.

His father is certainly enjoying this, perhaps even waiting for someone to act to "entertain" him.

Venion habitually glanced over at Taylor, watching him elegantly have a quick breakfast, then wipe his mouth.

Venion also finished eating at the same time, wiping his mouth.

When he noticed that Taylor was about to push the cart out, Venion "handedly" pushed it, ignoring his rapidly stiff body.

Both of them left the room filled with pressure at the same time.

------------------------------------------------------------

Priestess Cage was busy at the church today, and the bodyguards next to Taylor had not reacted in time.

Venion knew, this was the perfect time to talk to Orabuni.

Venion paused, moving in front of Taylor.

"Hyung, how are your legs?"

"...Same as before, you don't need to care."

Venion put his hand on Taylor's leg, saw Taylor wince, and unconsciously reduced his strength.

"Looks like you still have vain hopes of ancient powers that can heal your feet, don't you?"

Venion leans slightly on tiptoe near Taylor (the wheelchair is too tall for Venion's current height), if Venion's hair had been longer, perhaps a few strands of his pale blond hair would have fallen to Taylor shoulders.

"Why can't you just obediently stay in one place?"

A small cold hand touched Taylor's cheek, startling him to dodge.

Two similar but also different eyes clash.

Taylor stared at the emotion in Venion's eyes, pupils constricting at the realization of the emotion hidden deep within those eyes.

"Orabuni, don't think about taking back the inheritance."

With the warning finished, Venion stepped back, gave Taylor a lovely smile, then left when he noticed the bodyguards running towards him.

He didn't realize that those emerald eyes he was so enamored with were staring at him with complicated emotions.

------------------------------------------------------------

Venion buried his head in Taylor's old shirt, his ears red.

What did I just do aaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!

I touched Orabuni, still leaned close to him!!!!!!!!!!

I almost got to touch Orabuni's cheek!!!!!!!!!!

Venion could still remember feeling Taylor's breath on his face, his beautiful emeralds trembling as he looked into his eyes.

Venion had to refrain from making a frantic act of inhaling Taylor's exhalation, or reaching out to pluck those beautiful eyes out of Taylor's.

His legs are enough, if he blinded Taylor again, his father would kill him.

Venion rolled on the bed, then calmed down after a while.

Venion put away his old shirt, picked up his black cloak, then opened the door to give orders to the butler outside.

"Take me there, I'm a bit anorexia."

"Y-yes! The carriage is ready, sir!"

Now, it's the dragon problem.

------------------------------------------------------------

"Today I want to do it myself."

"You-you mean?"

"Are your ears deaf, or do you want to be the first to taste my torture skills?"

"No, sir!"

"Then what are you doing standing there? Get out!"

"Y-yes!"

Watching the doorkeeper rush out of the room, Venion snorted contemptuously.

Then he looked at the small body in the corner of the room, looking at him with hateful eyes.

Venion was used to this gaze, and didn't care about it either.

After all, since the egg entered the hands of the Stan family, its destiny after birth was to be "tamed" by torture.

But now....

Venion held the small dragon in both hands, it struggled to get out of Venion's hand, and opened its mouth to bite him.

Venion observed the Black Dragon.

The body is small and weak, the body is full of wounds that have not yet completely healed, two small horns have just begun to grow on the head, the scales have not completely hardened.

What a frail little creature.

It is unbelievable that it was able to survive the torture for four years before escaping.

Venion sat on the sofa, shifted the dragon's body to his back, and then hugged the little dragon like a teddy bear.

The Black Dragon trembled as the wound on his back touched Venion's shirt, causing blood from the unhealed wound to flow onto Venion's shirt.

Well, this will make them not doubt whether Venion tortured the dragon or not.

Venion thought, taking out the potion, forcibly opening the baby dragon's mouth and pouring the potion into it.

After drinking, the Black Dragon coughed because of choking, the medicine water was spilled down its body, causing the wound on the Black Dragon's body to gradually heal.

Venion watched the large wounds on the dragon's body gradually heal, pleased to pat the Black Dragon's back to make it breathe more evenly.

Although it is not possible to use high-grade medicine to cure the Black Dragon, it is okay for now.

Then Venion took out the bottle of milk again, and began to feed the baby dragon.

The Black Dragon later thought that Venion had come up with a new torture method for it.

It's forcing it to swallow everything that guy puts in its mouth.

Although those are delicious....

The Black Dragon curled up his body, contemplating the scars that were gradually scabbing.

He remembered the hand patting him on the back, and the small warmth from the bastard being transferred to him as the guy "held" him back.

That blonde bastard is getting weirder and weirder.

------------------------------------------------------------

Venion was not like the other transmigrator he had read in his previous life before turning into a villain, risking his life to change his image to a better one in order to survive.

No, he promoted that bad guy image.

Just in a different, more reasonable way to protect the lives of Orabuni and that little dragon.

Venion watched his subordinates take care of assassins sent by his other brothers to kill Taylor.

All of Stan's family except Taylor are crazy.

So, it would make sense to have a "Yandere" in the family, right?

(Venion wants to protect them both from the dangers outside, and at the same time wants to keep and cover them with blood, watching them express emotions that only Venion can see.

Venion wanted to see them live and move, and at the same time wanted them motionless as a beautiful object that Venion could gaze on forever.

Author: Sounds a lot like a Yandere, doesn't it? Sorry, Venion in here is just a huge Taylor fan trying to pretend to be Yandere.)

Venion felt eyes on him, glanced over to see the green eyes and blond hair that Venion loved.

He smiled.

Dear Orabuni.

How would you deal with a younger brother who was taught the wrong way to love you?

As for the favorites, the Stans either took it, or destroyed and kept the rest of it.

So, you'll understand when I break your legs, right?

The curtain was drawn, hiding the figure behind the curtain.

------------------------------------------------------------

Venion continued his life, working in the underworld, watching and finding opportunities to "annoy" Taylor, quarreling with the priestess who always followed Taylor, visiting the little black dragon,....

Venion can feel the Black Dragon gradually getting used to Venion's own "torture", even sometimes even having the courage to use its small paws to urge Venion to feed it.

The torturer was fired by Venion long ago, now the dragon is only truly tortured when other family members or their eyes are there.

In order to conceal the fact that Venion didn't actually torture the dragon, Venion conveniently practiced using the whip in the torture room, then smeared blood on the little dragon's body.

Now the dragon's body only has scars from past tortures and a few wounds from several times when "family" came to see it, and the body was also slightly fatter due to Venion's "torture".

Perhaps the strangest thing was Taylor's attitude.

To others, Venion doesn't know, but to Venion, Taylor is a bit...soft?

Rather, Taylor always made himself seem small and weak in front of Venion, not the combative and strong that Venion expected.

He also didn't flinch when Venion suddenly approached him, only giving him a soft smile and patting Venion's head.

That is really strange.

Venion frowned and pushed Taylor's hand away from his head, straightened his back and quickly left, forgetting his original intention when looking for Taylor.

Venion didn't realize that every time Taylor did that, he instinctively lowered his head so that Taylor could easily pat him on the head.

Venion also didn't realize that he now looked like he was running away from Taylor in shame.

Taylor watched Venion quickly leave his figure, still smiling gently, making the newly arrived Cage couldn't help but bang his head.

"Stop wearing that disgusting smile, your "beloved" dongsaeng is gone."

Taylor retracted his smile, switched to his normal smile, and continued talking to Cage.

Venion returned to his room, took out the old coat Taylor had left at home, buried his face in deep breaths, trying to cool the red stain that was slowly spreading to his face.

Stupid damn Orabuni!!!

(If not every time Venion looks for Taylor when he pays attention to look around, Taylor will definitely be in danger of having a good relationship with Venion in the eyes of outsiders (specifically the other member except Taylor in the Stan family).

Because of that, Venion had to cut down on seeing Taylor, for everyone to see the two still have a bad relationship.

Except for Taylor's only best friend and future sister-in-law (in Venion's eyes).)

------------------------------------------------------------

The moment he heard his father talk about attending the king's birthday, and chose to have him attend, Venion knew.

Time to get ready to pack up to leave.

But before that, he needed to visit the Black Dragon and confirm one thing first.

Venion hugged the Little Dragon, watching it familiarly raise its head, waiting for Venion's "torture".

Venion gave the baby dragon milk to drink, then took out his knife.

I'm sorry.

Having finished his final torture, Venion hugged the dragon's body trembling from pain, patting its head.

The baby dragon leaned against Venion's arm, its eyes widening as it looked at Venion, as if wondering why Venion would do this.

If father were here, this action of the dragon would mislead him to be tamed, and boast that they could tame the noble creature the dragon.

But Venion looked at those blue eyes, only feeling them filled with the painful emotion of being betrayed.

Venion dropped the Black Dragon on the floor, preparing to take out a bag of blood to spread it evenly on the floor, then frowned when he noticed that he forgot to bring it this time.

This is not good.

The wound Venion inflicted on the Black Dragon only made it appear to be severely injured, but in reality they were all light wounds that bled very little and could not move due to the most severe wounds on its four legs.

If there is not enough blood, there will be suspicions....

Venion pondered, rolling up his sleeves.

Black Dragon opened his eyes wide.

Outside, the doorman trembled in fear when he heard the cry of the baby dragon.

This time it seems the young master tortured the dragon heavier than usual.

Enough that the dragon would never cry out in pain like this.

By the time Venion changed his coat and went out, the doorman didn't give much thought to the blood stain on Venion's inner sleeve, believing it to be the blood of the dragon.

------------------------------------------------------------

At the moment he saw that red-haired noble, the only thing Venion could see was a Red Flag approaching him.

(Author: The red flag is supposed to be a death flag, right? It's funny how it seems to be fitting that Cale has red hair.)

Good, then there's no need to go back to take the baby dragon to escape and give Orabuni the paper about the ancient powers of the crown prince.

Venion can also pack up and run away.

As long as he finished attending the event in the capital, making sure Taylor's leg was completely healed, he could escape.

Venion knew that if he did that at the time, he would be seen as a coward, running away in fear when the "orthodox heir" came home.

That's better than being caught by the main charater with the Black Dragon and tortured, thanks.

Venion pondered over packing as he returned to the carriage, pulling down his coat to cover his inner sleeve.

When he returned, he had to change all his clothes.

Venion thought about the new scar still on his arm.

He still had to find a cure for the scar.

He hoped the Black Dragon didn't tell that red-haired bastard what he did in the torture room.

(Venion didn't know that, that night, the Black Dragon had come to his room.

The Black Dragon looked at Venion curled up fast asleep on the bed, approached and sniffed his hand.

Confirming that the wound on Venion's hand had completely healed, the Black Dragon curled up to observe Venion for a long time, and finally left.

Cale who was sleeping soundly trembled when he felt his gaze returning to him.)

------------------------------------------------------------

Ever since the Black Dragon openly followed Cale, Cale noticed that the dragon's behavior was very strange.

The child hates humans, but his attitude towards Venion....

"That guy also tortures me, but his torture is different from other torturers."

The little dragon ate the food, swallowing it quickly without chewing, making Cale unable to hold back his voice.

"Chewing food, eating like that will make you choke."

"Human, you're really different from that bastard, he just stuffs food in my mouth, then gives me milk so I don't choke."

Cale was slightly shocked when he heard that.

"Venion feed you?"

"Yes, it was his torture, putting food in my mouth and giving me milk."

"I choke every time, causing him to change his clothes because he gets dirty."

(Fun fact: Everyone assumed that the reason Venion changed his dirty clothes was because of the Black Dragon's blood-stained clothes.)

The Black Dragon didn't mind how shocked Cale was, contentedly chewing his food and swallowing it down.

"He always patted me on the back when the torture was over, then dropped me back into the corner of the room, took out a bag of blood-like liquid and poured it over me."

Even when he forgot to bring that liquid bag, he would cut his wrists and sprinkle blood on people.

The Black Dragon didn't say that to Cale, now.

"But every time someone else looks like him in the room, Blondie Bastard will hurt me."

The little dragon curled up, his head resting on the empty plate of food.

"Humans, I hate all those who kept me in that cave, even wanting to avenge them."

"But I don't know if I should get revenge on that weird Blondie."

"He was the first person I saw when I came out of the egg, the same man who gave me the necklace to stop Mana, the one who ordered those people to torture me since I was born."

"Why, I can't hate him?"

------------------------------------------------------------

Needless to say, that revelation caused a great shock to Cale.

In the novel, Venion is a villain, breaking Taylor's leg, torturing the dragon since it was born.

But the Black Dragon's words about Venion changed Cale's opinion.

From the Black Dragon's words, Venion's actions were like a child forced to act evil.

Considering the age of the Black Dragon, considering the age of Venion then when the Black Dragon hatched, the possibility is very large.

But that still doesn't explain what happened to Taylor.

Venion in the novel always aimed at Taylor with all his malice, also the killer who killed Taylor.

Cale remembered the incident where the carriage almost hit the old man, which was also their first meeting, and frowned.

Eric beside him saw Cale frowning, misunderstanding.

"Cale, are you uncomfortable?"

"No, I'm fine, Hyung."

Cale shook his head, turning towards the door when the gatekeeper opened his mouth.

"Young master Venion Stan of Marquis Stan's household has arrived!"

Cale quickly felt a weight appear on his thigh, reached out and touched the small scales on the Black Dragon's body.

The Black Dragon sat on Cale's lap, observing Venion approaching this direction.

Venion just glanced over at Cale, then continued to approach his table, Neo Tolz followed like a dog following its owner, glared at Cale as he passed, and ended up sitting at the same table with Cale after being bullied. Venion glared back.

Strange.

Venion didn't come to "hello" to Cale, who had passed through the village where the Black Dragon was imprisoned when the Black Dragon went missing.

Cale could feel the Black Dragon's claws gripping his leg.

That might mean, the Black Dragon wasn't very important in Venion's eyes.

Cale was aware of this, but was also relieved that Venion didn't come to bother him.

Cale had a habit of wanting to hold a bottle of wine to drink.

"Young Master Cale."

"...I'll drink it later."

"...Sure."

Under Eric's watchful gaze, Cale quietly released his hand from the bottle of wine.

The invisible Black Dragon curled up on Cale's lap, observing Venion, his eyes showing complicated emotions.

Cale suddenly felt the weight on his thighs disappear.

------------------------------------------------------------

Venion was looking forward to it, but seeing Taylor unexpectedly show up at the real party....

Taylor met Venion's eyes, and the smile on his face grew even wider.

....It really made him want to break Orabuni's leg again.

Unfortunately Venion knows that's not possible.

"What-"

Venion heard Neo's small scream from the Red Flag table, really wanted to pinch Neo's arm, to calm Neo.

Venion watched Taylor interact with the Crown Prince, ignoring the gazes that were directed in his direction.

It was natural, because the Stan family had a close relationship with the Third Prince.

So the fact that Taylor appeared here and seemed close to the Crown Prince was a disadvantage for Venion.

But Venion didn't mind that, staring at Taylor.

It was like a kind of instinct, when Taylor appeared, Venion's eyes would always search for him.

Of course, in the eyes of others it was like Venion was still in shock when Taylor showed up.

Venion glanced at a certain Red Flag, causing Cale to quickly avert his eyes, accidentally meeting the Crown Prince.

The crown prince smiled, and for a brief moment, Venion took pity on Cale (as a fan who used to laugh because Cale couldn't have his slacker life).

Of course, that feeling quickly disappeared seeing how happy Taylor seemed to be sitting next to Cale.

Venion annoyedly took another bite of food, looked down to see a piece of food on the plate suddenly disappeared.

Venion:....

Venion desperately held back so as not to suddenly look at Cale Henituse, when Cale choked on his food, he looked at Cale with a reprimanding look.

Why did the little dragon come over to take his food?!

Maybe that guy didn't sneak food to the little dragon???

------------------------------------------------------------

Cale was more confused than Venion.

«Humans, see who I managed to get food from!»

'From whom?'

«From the Blondie Bastard!»

Cale choked on his food, making Eric nervous.

"Young Master Cale, are you okay?!"

Even Taylor gave Cale a worried look.

Cale desperately refrained from looking at Venion to confirm if the food on his plate had partially disappeared.

For some reason, Cale felt a reproachful gaze directed at him from Venion's desk.

Cale ate a few more pieces of food, then followed Eric up to greet the Crown Prince, leaving the Black Dragon a chance to steal some of the food that Cale intentionally left behind and then flew after Cale.

That reproachful gaze disappeared, leaving Cale with a sinking feeling in his stomach.

Does Venion know something?

(Venion didn't think at all that the Black Dragon stole his food purely because it had a habit of taking his food.

Mainly due to Venion's "torture" except for milk, which is all his food, sometimes even taking a bite of food and then stuffing the rest into the dragon's mouth.)

After the party ended, Venion quickly left the party, chased away Neo who wanted to follow, and waited in the carriage.

It wasn't until Taylor got into his own carriage and left that Venion told the driver to leave.

------------------------------------------------------------

The next morning, Venion stared at Taylor standing next to the Crown Prince.

Orabuni was standing up, on his own two feet.

Venion looked at Taylor's feet, furrowed his brows (which others assumed was anger), and couldn't help but worry.

Even if the legs are healed, for someone who has been in a wheelchair for many years, walking will be difficult.

Venion was a little worried about how Taylor would fall, not used to walking normally.

Staring for a long time, when the Crown Prince indicated to start, Venion took his eyes off, motioned to Neo, and got on the Royal carriage.

Neo Tolz followed Venion's orders to step into the carriage that Taylor entered.

What a good puppy, just too stupid.

(Perhaps Venion will miss having such a faithful walking wallet when he leaves Stan's house.

Yes, Neo takes on another identity as Venion's walking wallet when he forgets to bring money.)

He just hoped the guy wouldn't shake his legs again, worried about Taylor being able to get up.

Venion looked in the direction of the carriage that Taylor had entered, frowning deeper, causing several other nobles nearby to move away.

Why didn't the crazy priestess follow Orabuni this time?

The carriage that Venion sat on was fortunately aristocrats weaker than him, the whole journey was quiet, not wanting to poke a bomb named Venion Stan.

That calmed Venion down.

At least he didn't stay and wait for Taylor to get off the bus when he got there, even though he was worried that Taylor might fall over when he got off.

Anyway, after this event, Venion will escape from Stan's house.

He had to get used to not worrying about Taylor's safety.

------------------------------------------------------------

At the time of the chaos, Venion had planned to follow the nobles, mixing with them.

That will not be noticeable, at a later time just dragging the Neo to another direction can avoid the event of being trampled.

Taylor would be safe with Cale, so Venion refrained from dragging Taylor running.

But a strange thing happened that made Venion stop.

A pull caused Venion to stop, when realizing who did it left Venion bewildered.

Why, is, Taylor, f*cking, Stan, pulling, his, arm!?

Taylor didn't seem to notice how his actions affected Venion, looking anxiously toward the civilian exit.

But the hand on Venion's wrist didn't let go, gripping it with enough force that Venion couldn't let go, nor hurt him.

Venion tries to pull away, resulting in a tighter grip, with him being pulled behind Taylor, indicating that Venion is being protected by his Orabuni.

...This gentle, stupid Orabuni bastard.

Venion sighed in his mind, reaching out to pull back the collar of the Neo who had just run past.

Anyway, he couldn't let this stupid little dog get hurt by the trampling incident.

Neo noticed Venion's situation and wanted to pull Venion away from Taylor and leave, but a warning glance from Venion made Neo stand still, nervously looking around.

Venion looked in the direction of Red Flag and as expected, saw the man's trembling eyes and shocked face.

Venion didn't want to know what the man thought about Taylor holding onto his original future killer protectively, or how Venion "docilely" stood still while Taylor grabbed his wrist.

Venion looked again at the other remaining nobles who were staring at them with wide eyes, forgetting the current situation, suddenly feeling a headache.

Sure enough, after this incident, he should run away, leave Stan's family, leave the protagonist party.
