I somehow transmigrated fourteen years before the original novel even began—as the most powerful archmage in the empire.
The only thing I remember is a single plea:
“...Please protect them.”
Since the novel was discontinued, did that mean I was supposed to protect its ending? It’s a romance story anyway. The ending would surely be a happy one for the main characters. And with fourteen years left before the original plot starts, I decided to stay quiet in my territory and not interfere.
But then I ran into him at the imperial palace.
The novel’s main villain—the Fourth Prince, who would grow into a tyrant shaped by a miserable childhood.
He looked like a stray beast. Thin to the bone, his joints clearly visible beneath fragile skin. I felt sorry for him, but if I changed a character’s story, the future I knew might also change—
[The child had never tasted warm soup.]
Well… feeding him at least should be fine, right?
But then—
“Your Highness, doesn’t it feel nice to be clean?”
“……”
[Abuse and neglect were part of the child’s daily life.]
One night, when I saw him trembling quietly as if it were normal for servants to pour cold water over him, I made up my mind.
“Your Highness, would you like to become my disciple?”
I’ll make sure you get your happy ending too.
“Your Highness, if you keep staring like that, you’ll get caught. By the one acting as your guardian.”
“That would be for the best, Marquis.”
Twelve years later, the Fourth Prince has grown into a man—yet he remains the archmage’s disciple.
“I wish she would notice.”
Fully aware of the bold feelings he now harbors for his master.
The original novel For the Happy Ending of the Young Villain by author Rogang is now adapted into a full webtoon!
“Yes, I’ll protect the original story. But happiness won’t belong to just the two leads.”
Overpowered mage Reina and her lovable disciples are here to bring you a new kind of happy ending!
