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

69. Rejoice, Princess, You Are Free

“……”

Noah, who was watching all this in the ruined temple, naturally saw the negative emotions deep in Clyde’s eyes.

He also saw Clyde’s behavior of deliberately lying to please Valentina despite having negative emotions.

Noah really had nothing to say about this.

Clyde was exactly like his original self, gentle because of cowardice, harmless because of fear of strength, and somewhat self-righteous, thinking that his weakness would be good for both himself and Valentina.

But in this world where the heroine’s defeat would lead to the retrieval of the defeat CG, Clyde’s weakness was tantamount to surrender.

Although there was no CG related to Princess Delia’s defeat caused by Clyde’s surrender in the original work, if it were Noah, who knew this world and Delia’s character very well…

Then Delia would definitely pretend to agree to reconcile with Valentina through Clyde, then use Clyde to drug Valentina, and then let the noblemen who had long disliked Valentina do very bad things to her.

What if Clyde was unwilling?

Hmph, will he still have a say then?

He doesn’t even have the courage to get angry; he can only beg pitifully or throw caution to the wind and join in.

“Truly… hopeless.”

For such a pitiful character, Noah felt that even the frustration of “wasting talent” was an emotional drain.

If it weren’t for Clyde being Valentina’s childhood friend, Noah wouldn’t even have the interest to observe him.

It must be said that making such a pitiful character the female lead’s childhood friend is a rather cruel joke by the production team or the goddess.

“Compared to that side… it’s clear that this side piques my interest much more.”

Noah turned his gaze to another floating magic circle monitor, where the excited grin of the blonde-haired Alan, unable to suppress his joy upon learning that Valentina was with the pitiful character, was displayed.

At that moment, Alan was ecstatic after hearing his subordinate report that Valentina and Clyde were together.

However, for the ultimate Minotaur experience, he still restrained himself from rushing to the guy’s place the day after the confession.

But clearly, mere restraint wasn’t enough, so Alan directly ordered the subordinate who reported to him to strip and serve him.

As he gradually indulged in the moment, Alan and the female knight disguised as a woman had completely reverted to their demon forms, reveling in pure carnal desire.

Unfortunately, they had no idea they were being observed by Noah all along.

Not to mention, this little adult film was quite thrilling, featuring new CG not present in the original work.

Noah was certainly enjoying the view.

Although Alan’s true form was a bit of an eyesore, the demon women were undeniably alluring; after all, this was another world, and it was only natural to admire non-human girls.

After Noah finished watching the adult film starring Alan with pure appreciation, he couldn’t help but exclaim that he truly was a high-tier blonde.

His stamina and… well, other attributes were already impressive, and he even summoned tentacles.

Even the demon women couldn’t withstand it, let alone human girls.

However, in a certain sense, Alan could be considered a half-pure love type.

Though he did whatever he pleased with his female demon subordinates, treating them as mere playthings, they would still express their gratitude to him with looks of surprise.

Yet Alan had no interest in human women other than Valentina. Diliah, who clearly understood how to dress herself better and exuded a noble princess aura, was someone Alan could be said to disdain.

Of course, Diliah felt the same disdain for him.

What Alan was drawn to wasn’t just Valentina’s beauty, but her character as well.

He must have longed to break someone like Valentina, who appeared fragile yet was strong-willed, who upheld justice and kindness, embodying all that is beautiful.

Just like shattering something beautiful, he could experience a thrill and desire for conquest that normal people couldn’t comprehend.

Noah could actually understand the feeling of wanting to see a lofty figure fall to the depths.

However, what Noah wanted to see shattered wasn’t Valentina, but the equally proud Alan.

As for how to achieve that? It seemed this was the way.

This time, Noah gradually shifted his gaze from the magic circle monitor to his right side, where, in this dilapidated temple, there were no extra decorations aside from the columns.

—

But there stood a female statue, perfectly suited to the dilapidated temple, a woman with dragon-like features, existing there just like the deity worshipped here.

If someone else were to stumble upon this place, they might truly believe that the statue was the embodiment of an evil god.

After all, the expression on the woman’s face in the sculpture looked undeniably wicked and powerful; that hint of a smile at the corner of her lips appeared both mysterious and filled with ambiguity, giving off the vibe of a malevolent dragon goddess.

Yet that was merely due to the dark surroundings and the interplay of light and shadow on her visage, which made her seem very much like a goddess. If she were to be moved to the town center, she would simply be seen as a strong-willed dragon queen.

From Noah’s perspective, she was still too green. Even this idealized image of a fallen heroine was still too immature. After her fall, she could certainly stop being toyed with by men, even turning the tables to toy with them instead, but to call her a deity was still far from the mark.

Noah was also practicing desperately in front of a mirror, trying to cultivate an air of hidden boss-like charisma that Valentina couldn’t see.

“Alright, in order to become, or even surpass, this statue, I need to put in the effort.”

There were about five days left until Noah estimated Allen would make his move, so he had to start preparing to train Valentina tomorrow.

He smiled at the fallen, mature version of Valentina’s statue, then turned and left the temple, entering a certain establishment.

Huh? How did he end up at a brothel while trying to work hard?

Oh dear, Noah was under a lot of pressure, alright? After all, he couldn’t lay a hand on the heroines. At the very least, he wanted to experience the charm of this other world.

Besides, today was already done; he could think about it tomorrow!

Thus, unbeknownst to Valentina, both the blonde Allen and the hidden boss Noah were preparing to lead her to her downfall.

However, while Allen was waiting, Noah was hastening his actions before Allen could even begin.

In the following four days, Noah continued his usual style, provoking Valentina’s dislike while gradually strengthening her both physically and mentally.

Noah certainly knew that his actions would make Valentina feel a mix of love and hate, rather than pure loathing.

But that was fine; after dealing with the blonde, Noah would take things even further.

For instance, when Valentina thought he was merely a wicked character with a good nature, still believing he was just talking big and wouldn’t actually do anything bad.

Noah would just pretend to casually commit a heinous act, mocking Valentina for truly thinking of him as a benevolent deity, revealing that he had been waiting to see her shocked expression all along, which was why he hadn’t acted yet.

At that moment, Valentina would feel betrayed, and in her desperation, she would try to eliminate him.

The fury and hatred would lead Valentina to completely fall, ensuring she would never be deceived by any man again.

This was the final step in Noah’s plan to corrupt Valentina.

But before that, there were still about two or three steps to take.

And what Noah was about to do was one of those steps.

On the afternoon of the sixth day when Noah disguised himself as Clyde to confess to Valentina.

Valentina, once again deceived and toyed with by Noah, angrily exclaimed, “I don’t like this kind of power, okay?!”

This time, Noah didn’t tease her with his usual frivolous smile, but instead spoke in a nonchalant tone:

“Oh really? Since you seem so unwilling, then I’ll take back the power I gave you. Rejoice, Princess, from this moment on, you are free from the shackles of the evil dragon and the wicked god.”

In that instant, Noah chose to ‘seal’ the power of the evil dragon within Valentina.

“…Eh?”

—

At this moment, the princess, who had been pretending to be angry at Noah, stood frozen in place, her expression completely stiffening.



Huh? Did she just hear something? She was freed?

Without giving her much explanation, Noah vanished from her sight in the next second.

“Wait, wait aahhh!!!”

Only then did the princess realize that she truly felt no trace of the dragon’s power within her. She hurriedly tried to grasp the spot where Noah had once stood.

Yet, she caught nothing.

Everything that had happened recently felt like a farce, ending so abruptly and easily.

“……”

All that remained was a princess, lost in thought, gazing blankly at her hands with dimmed, purplish eyes, standing there in confusion, unable to comprehend why she felt so despondent.

She… should be free now.

But what was this uncomfortable feeling?

Author’s Note

Finally, we’ve reached this point! I am immensely grateful for the support of all the readers! (Opening thunderclap)

At midnight on Saturday, there will be a massive update of ten chapters!

That said, since I tend to be verbose and enjoy delving into inner thoughts, this story has really just begun.

I truly appreciate the readers’ understanding and kindness.

I hadn’t intended to write to this extent, as the male lead’s harem story unexpectedly fell into desolation.

But I can’t write yuri, so I thought maybe I should just give up altogether.

That’s why I mentioned adding a chapter for every ten votes in October; after all, I didn’t think I could add much.

Who knew I’d end up in so much debt?

It seems that even though the audience has indeed decreased, there are still readers who, like me, enjoy this traditional flavor.

Since that’s the case, I have to write this story now.

From noble mtl dot com

Currently, I owe 41 chapters, and tonight’s massive update of ten chapters includes two that are regular updates, meaning I still need to repay 33 chapters.

It’s fine, not too much; when I say I’ll add more, I will add more.

Please witness whether I can repay this debt, dear readers!

(Yuri elements will not be present, as I can’t grasp the appeal; if you want me to write yuri, I’d rather write about a futanari—having the body of a beautiful girl and the convenience of a big d*ick. If given the chance, I’d really like to write a story about a character who appears to be a busty beauty but is actually a futanari, with a male heart, pushing down a strong, dominant girl who loves yuri.)
