Riser Phenex isn't a villain

Chapter 315: A normal girl

Chapter 315: A normal girl

Meredith Ordinton.

She was a normal girl as long as she could remember.

If there was something special about her, it was the fact that she was a little cuter than the other girls, and she was also a magician.

Yes, she could use magic.

Even if she wasn't good at offensive and defensive magic, she was good at security and sealing magic. Her talent and proficiency were even better than Le Fay Pendragon, the genius magician of the Golden Dawn (one of the biggest magician groups) and also a noble daughter of the Pendragon House.

However, even if their skill was similar, their status was different.

Unlike Le Fay, who came from a noble birth, her birth was nothing but ordinary.

She came from an ordinary family and then worked as the security of the royal family.

There was no doubt that even if her life was ordinary, there were many envious of her, but when human greed was no bound, she was similar as she had always wished to become part of the noble family.

Yet, she knew with her origin, it was impossible for her to become one.

Nevertheless, one day, she found her friends, whose status was similar to hers, suddenly became a noble family. She was confused and asked how those friends of hers could become one. With their close relationship, the friend told her that she was an illegitimate child of the noble family.

While she felt envious, there was nothing she could do.

Still, due to the difference in their status, she became inferior, and it was hard for her to communicate with others like before, especially when they also started to become arrogant and looked down on her.

However, she didn't say anything. While she disdained their skill and snobbish attitude, she knew that her status was nothing compared to theirs, so she could only endure it. Moreover, she also didn't want to lose them since she knew that this connection was necessary for her in the future, especially when her origin was humble.

Still, the life of the magicians wasn't all that exciting as they often mostly stayed in a place as bodyguards, so in that time, they spent their time talking about the gossip that was popular in the supernatural world.

Naturally, the most popular gossip was Riser Lucifer.

Riser was the strongest and the new Lucifer of the Underworld.

As a magician, they wished to make a contract with a powerful devil, so there was no doubt everyone wished to become his contracted magician.

Not only was Riser handsome, but he was strong, and as long as one made a contract with him, there was no doubt their status would be directly above everyone else.

Even the royal family might bow down in front of them as they were a contracted magician of Riser Lucifer.

However, listening to their conversation, Meredith only snorted inwardly since even if Riser made a contract with a magician, it definitely wouldn't be with any of them, whose status among the nobles was only so-so. Even as magicians, they weren't that powerful.

'If I can be the one...'

Sometimes, she wondered whether she could become Riser's contracted magician.

If possible, she wished to be the one, especially when she thought about how handsome and strong Riser was.

Contracted by such a powerful devil, under that contract, he wished to become one with her, and she could do nothing as she let him do whatever he wished with her body.

Nevertheless, Meredith knew that she wasn't the only one who had such an imagination since the others also had imagined so.

Riser might be married, but it was because he was married that he was popular.

Still, no one thought that they could attract Riser's eyes, especially when they heard the strongest magician in the Human Magician organization Grauzaubere, Lavinia Reni, was rejected by him.

In the supernatural world, the name Lavinia Reni was loud, and it was also because of this the news of her rejection quickly circulated among everyone as they wanted to laugh at her, who had failed.

A human was like this.

When they saw those who were better than them suddenly fail, they felt delighted.

Nevertheless, due to Reni's power, no one said this matter out loud and only talked behind her. After all, no one wanted to die. Reni was not only the most powerful magician on the Grauzaubere, but she was also the holder of Absolute Demise, one of the Longinus.

Still, it was also because of this that sometimes Meredith wondered if she had gained a Longinus.

"If I have it, my future will be different..."

Unfortunately, her luck wasn't good. While she had a Sacred Gear, it wasn't a Longinus. Instead, it was just something like a nail. It might be quite powerful, but that's it.

Still, the world was like this.

Everything was unfair.

As Meredith sighed helplessly, she suddenly found out that her origin was a royal family!

Yes, she was also a noble birth!

When she fought that, she was so happy, but the higher the expectation, the higher the disappointment was. She knew her origin, and she happily came to her real family, but unfortunately, cold water poured directly into her face. They didn't accept her, and she was told to leave as she had nothing to do with them.

Anger and hatred were the emotions that occupied her, but all she felt was despair and sadness.

By now, she realized a dream was impossible to realize.

All she could do was face reality as she realized how small an existence she was in this world.

She was different from the Pendragon siblings, who could live well after they had joined a terrorist organization. Even though they had messed up the world and many myths, their family would protect them, and the others would give them a face, giving them a second chance to live.

However, what about her?

She was nothing.

As long as she thought about this, nothing mattered anymore.

She thought that she should live a humble life and continue to live quietly as the security of the royal familywithout troubling anyone.

It was also because of this that she crashed into someone; she quickly apologized timidly.

"I-I am sorry!"

Only after she apologized did she realize that she was about to fall. She closed her eyes in fear, but a strong hand grasped her shoulder tightly.

"Are you okay?"

Hot.

This is what she thought.

His grasp was something that could only come from a man.

It made her confused and also strange as it was her first time to feel something like this, but she didn't hate this feeling as it made her forget all the unpleasant things, so she wished to know where the source of those feelings came from.

Only when she opened her eyes did she realize what kind of mess up she had done?

"...Lucifer-sama?"
