Chapter 1: From Today On, I Am Your Master
Dim candlelight.
Damp ground.
Dark dungeon.
A young blonde girl, barely older than a child, was chained by her wrists, wearing only a thin shirt, blindfolded, and kneeling in an incredibly humiliating posture, exposing her vast snow-white skin.
The petite girl occasionally let out stifled cries of pain but dared not scream, fearing it would provoke her master’s anger.
Inside the room, a group of maids silently lowered their heads, unable to bear the sight of the pitiful blonde girl, and certainly didn’t dare to look directly at the mastermind behind it all.
Roy Ainbrad.
The only son of the Duke of the Eastern Frontier. A cruel and despicable noble scoundrel.
He had mediocre Extraordinary Power and was morally worse than that.
Such a worthless character was ironically their master.
However, what they didn’t know was…
At this very moment, the most bewildered, desperate, and helpless being in this dungeon was none other than Roy Ainbrad.
Or rather, the ‘Roy’ who had just become Roy Ainbrad.
Last night he was playing a galgame about cute girls, and this morning he woke up to find himself transported into it?!
Roy would never mistake the scene before him.
A medieval-style dungeon, a blonde loli bound by chains.
This was the very start of the R18 yuri galgame he played last night, “Angel’s Waltz”!
Being transported? Sweet!
Becoming the villain? Yikes!
Indeed, Roy Ainbrad, who shared his name and surname, was the villain of this game.
And the blonde girl before him, blindfolded and chained, kneeling in humiliation, was the protagonist of “Angel’s Waltz,” the future Destined Saintess, Alice Angelia!
In the original story, Alice grew up as an orphan child worker, later sold to an auction by human traffickers, and eventually became Roy’s maid.
But after becoming Roy’s maid, Alice’s nightmare truly began.
“Angel’s Waltz” is the standard story of a powerful female lead.
The ‘scoundrel Roy’ is positioned like the wicked stepmother in Cinderella and the evil queen in Snow White.
This useless young master takes out his frustrations on Alice when he gets home, embodying the definition of a bullied loser.
Poor Alice, nearly naked, starving, sleeping in cold dark corners, enduring endless beatings and humiliation.
But as a protagonist, she later meets many beautiful partners, and with their help, awakens her angel bloodline, achieves extraordinary power, and eventually gives Roy a nice cold piercing in the end, happily living with her yuri harem.
Congratulations, congratulations—
Congratulations my foot!
It was indeed satisfying to crush the scoundrel Roy Ainbrad in the game, but now he was Roy Ainbrad himself!
He certainly didn’t want to be stabbed to death!
Thinking of the bloody CG made Roy break out in a cold sweat.
Of course, in a galgame, there are multiple endings depending on the choices made.
Roy himself hadn’t finished all the endings, but from what he’d heard, no matter what ending it was— even the worst case where Alice didn’t end up with anyone, she still ended up trading blows with the ‘scoundrel Roy’ in a last-ditch effort.
No matter how one chose, according to the flow of the original story, he was doomed…
“Master, may I ask if there’s anything wrong?”
Just as Roy was in despair, he suddenly heard a maid behind him inquire.
“Are you dissatisfied with this child?”
“No, no, no, I’m very satisfied.”
He hastily answered the maid’s question.
Only then did Roy suddenly realize something that should be very obvious.
There were no such lines in the original!
This wasn’t a game; it was reality. And he wasn’t, and didn’t have to be, the ‘scoundrel Roy’!
Galgames indeed push the story forward using different choices, but in reality, he had countless options!
Fortunately, the moment he was transported was right at the start of the game, at the moment of Alice’s first encounter with him.
Everything was still salvageable.
The disgusting tormenting events hadn’t happened yet; even the whip in his hand hadn’t been swung down yet— originally, ‘scoundrel Roy’ had flayed Alice alive.
He absolutely couldn’t follow the storyline of the game and become the ‘scoundrel Roy’ who tormented Alice!
The current Alice had no grievances against him; as long as he didn’t abuse her and took care of her kindly, perhaps she wouldn’t resent him, and might even feel grateful!
In the original, ‘scoundrel Roy’ was incredibly mediocre in Extraordinary Talent and relied on drugs to boost himself. Ironically, he also thought Alice was a worthless commoner unworthy of him and refused to touch her purity.
Little did he know, Alice had the purest angel bloodline in a hundred years and was destined to be the Holy Light Church’s future Destined Saintess.
How strong is an angel? Just look at the title “Angel’s Waltz.”
Looking across the entire continent, the angel bloodline is also the most high-tier Extraordinary bloodline, with future battle prowess enough to make one a full army!
In other words, if he played it right, as long as he didn’t become enemies with Alice but rather befriended her and showed her kindness, wouldn’t he gain an invincible angel bloodline powerhouse in the future?!
Thinking of this, Roy turned his worries into joy, slightly raising the corners of his mouth, letting out a small chuckle.
But, for the blindfolded Alice with heightened senses, this slight chuckle echoed in the dungeon like the devil’s whisper, chilling her to the bone.
The slender young girl couldn’t help but shiver.
So it has really come, hasn’t it?
During her captivity by the human traffickers, Alice had been mistreated and beaten, and was told that she would be sold to a noble young master as a plaything to experience suffering a hundred times worse than before.
After all, human traffickers didn’t dare to damage their goods, but noble masters had no such worries.
She had long since given up hope.
What could she, a powerless girl, do against a noble?
Her life and death were merely a whim of her master.
If she could not resist, she could only endure.
After the chuckle, came the sound of approaching footsteps.
Alice gritted her teeth tightly, her body tense, ready to endure the unknown pain.
The noble young master probably wouldn’t beat her up, maybe just tugging at her hair. Branding iron? Water torture? Or the whip…
Whatever it was, Alice just wished for it to end quickly.
The footsteps stopped.
A clear sound of unlocking echoed, the handcuffs were removed, and Alice’s arms, which had been hanging, finally fell.
But in front of her master, she didn’t dare to move.
Perhaps it was just to make it easier for the torment—
But the next moment, Alice felt the blindfold being removed, faint light coming in.
Reclaiming light after so long, but what Alice saw wasn’t the cruel, mocking face of a scoundrel.
Instead, it was a young man with black hair and eyes, a light smile, well-mannered, even somewhat elegant.
Roy Ainbrad— as rumored, he was as handsome as the brightest star in the night sky.
At the same time, Roy finally saw Alice’s true appearance.
Her slender golden hair fell messily, her petite frame trembled slightly; although her light blue eyes were dull and lifeless, her tender cheeks were dim and lacked sparkle, making her look all the more melancholic and beautiful. Like a wisp of irises drifting in the breeze, or like a dusty crystal in the dark, invoking pity.
Despite having seen Alice’s CG in the game, Roy was still taken aback when he truly saw her face.
This girl was too~~~ cute, right?!
It’s not just about not wanting to provoke this Destined Saintess; even for any normal person, who could bear to harm such an adorable girl?!
The ‘scoundrel Roy’ actually bullied such a cute little angel, how disgusting!
Looking at the cute little girl before him, Roy instinctively wanted to ruffle her fluffy golden hair.
But just as he reached out, he saw Alice tremble as if electrocuted, clearly trying to avoid him, silently averting her gaze.
Creak.
Roy’s heart shattered into pieces, his hand froze in midair.
Sure enough, this girl was still very afraid of him.
There was no helping it; ‘scoundrel Roy’ had a notorious reputation for torturing maids; it was normal for this girl to be scared of him.
But Roy quickly regained his composure.
He wasn’t ‘scoundrel Roy’, and he would never follow the same path as in “Angel’s Waltz.”
In the original text, ‘scoundrel Roy’ never asked Alice her name; he only called her ‘’ and ‘commoner’.
“My name is Roy Ainbrad.” Roy knelt slightly in front of the girl, a gentle smile on his face.
“And you? What’s your name?”
The girl dazedly looked up, her light blue eyes once again reflecting Roy’s handsome face.
“Alice.”
“What a lovely name.”
“Alice, from today on, I am your master.” Roy said, extending his hand toward the girl.
