Reborn As a Villain Son With The Strongest Wife-Chapter 28: The Hero’s Despair – Losing Everything

◇◇◇

[Battlefield – Valtara Fortress]

The Hero Army arrived.

10,000 Elite Soldiers.

500 Saint-Ranked Knights.

50 High Bishops.

And leading them—Rael Ascarion.

At his side, Evelyn Astralis stood firmly, her belief in Rael unwavering.

"This time..." Rael clenched his fist.

"I'll kill you, Leonhardt."

But Rael... didn't know.

He had already lost.

[Valtara Fortress – War Room]

I watched from the balcony.

Celestia, as usual, clung to my arm, grinning like a sadistic queen.

"Ohoho~ Rael came himself~ How delicious~"

I smiled coldly.

"He's brought his beloved too."

Celestia gasped in arousal.

"A-Ahh~ You're not planning to... corrupt her, are you, darling~?"

I didn't answer.

But my smirk said everything.

Celestia shivered.

"A-Ahh~ You're so cruel~ I love you so much~"

[The Battle Begins]

"ATTACK!!"

Rael's Hero Army clashed with my Villain Army.

But unlike the previous battle...

I did not aim for victory.

I aimed for despair.

[Two Hours Later – Battlefield]

"RETREAT!! WE'RE LOSING!!"

Rael watched in horror as my Villain Army decimated his forces.

But what horrified him most—

Was Ironhorn, my Mythical-Class Beast.

"ROOOAAAARRRR!!"

Ironhorn trampled through hundreds of Saint-Knights, crushing them like ants.

"AAAGGHHHH!!"

"MONSTER!! IT'S A MYTHICAL-CLASS BEAST!!"

And then—

I appeared.

I walked through the battlefield.

My sword dripped with blood.

And my gaze locked onto Rael.

"Leonhardt!!" Rael roared, dashing toward me.

I smirked.

"Come, Hero."

We clashed

Rael fought desperately.

But he was already losing.

"D-Die!!" Rael screamed, his sword trembling.

I parried effortlessly.

"Pathetic."

"SHUT UP!!"

Slash. Slash. Slash.

Rael attacked like a rabid dog.

But I simply... toyed with him.

I slashed his chest.

"AAAGGHH!!"

I sliced his arm.

"NGGHHH!!"

And finally—I disarmed him.

Rael fell to his knees.

"H-Huff... Huff..."

I towered over him.

"Is this the Hero of Fate?" I mocked coldly.

Rael gritted his teeth. "K-Kill me, you bastard!!"

I chuckled.

"No."

I turned my gaze toward Evelyn Astralis—Rael's love interest.

She was fighting in the distance, trying to protect the remaining soldiers.

And I smiled.

"I'll break you another way."

I walked toward Evelyn.

Rael's face froze.

"W-Wait..."

I ignored him.

"NO!! LEONHARDT!! DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH HER!!"

I reached Evelyn.

She turned, gasping. "W-What...?"

And I smiled darkly.

"Hello, Heroine."

Evelyn raised her sword, trembling. "S-Stay back!!"

I chuckled.

And then—I teleported behind her.

"K-KYAAA!!"

I grabbed her waist—pinning her hands behind her back.

"N-No!! LET ME GO!!"

Rael screamed in horror. "EVELYN!! NOOO!!"

Celestia laughed maliciously.

"Ohoho~ Look, darling~ You're stealing the Hero's woman~ How delicious~"

Evelyn struggled. "P-Please... don't..."

I leaned close to her ear.

And whispered.

"Why don't you open your eyes, Evelyn?"

"W-What...?"

"Do you truly believe Rael can protect you?"

"O-Of course he can... h-he's my destined Hero..."

I laughed coldly.

"Destined? Or deluded?"

Her breath hitched. "...H-Huh...?"

I turned her face toward the battlefield—where Rael was kneeling in his own blood.

"Look at him. Pathetic. Weak. Bleeding."

Her eyes trembled. "N-No..."

I leaned closer.

"And look at me. Standing. Dominating. Conquering."

Her body froze.

"N-No... s-stop... h-he's my... h-he's my..."

I whispered cruelly.

"Is he really the man you love?"

Her breath hitched.

And for the first time—doubt entered her heart.

"NOOOOO!!"

Rael screamed in pure agony as he watched Evelyn slowly waver toward me.

Celestia laughed so hard she could barely breathe.

"O-Ohoho~!! D-Darling!! Y-You're corrupting the Heroine!! Ahh~ I-I love you so much!!*"

Rael's eyes burned with hatred. "LEONHARDT!! I'LL KILL YOU!!"

I smiled coldly.

"Come then."

Rael charged.

But I didn't even raise my sword.

Instead—I simply kissed Evelyn.

"MMPH!!" Evelyn's eyes widened in shock.

And that's when—Rael broke.

"NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!"

Celestia collapsed in orgasmic ecstasy.

"A-AHHHHH~ D-DARLING!! YOU'RE SO CRUEL!! YOU'RE THE BEST VILLAIN KING EVER!!"

Rael fell to his knees.

Tears flooded his eyes. "W-Why... why..."

I looked down coldly.

"I told you, Rael."

I leaned down, whispering in his ear.

"I won't kill you."

I grabbed Evelyn's waist possessively.

"I'll just take everything from you."

Rael's scream shattered the sky.

Rael was dragged away by his retreating soldiers—completely broken.

Evelyn, meanwhile, was visibly shaken.

Her body still remembered the kiss I gave her.

Her heart was confused.

Rael was her destined Hero.

...So why did Leonhardt's touch feel so much more powerful?

Celestia approached me, drooling in arousal.

"A-Ahh~ D-Darling... y-you're so cruel... I-I'm gonna pass out~"

I turned to Evelyn.

"Next time, Heroine."

I smiled coldly.

"You'll be begging to stay by my side."

Evelyn shuddered—her heart now wavering toward me.

And far in the distance—Rael's broken screams echoed in agony.
