I Became the Villain’s Trainer

But why would he kill me? 

 

So Alexa pledged.
She was originally just giving the little puppy food while it roamed around like an abandoned dog, but she brought it home now, for her to raise the cute dog and raise him into a human being.
After seeing the way that dog was following and sprinting after her, would he ever think of killing her? 

 

The Grand Duke’s family didn’t know how to properly take care of the young puppy.
It would have been easier for them to think that he’s a dog, but they knew that he was a wolf.
In addition, the author adapted the characteristics of ‘werewolves’ in the novel for the dog so the reader can understand it better. 

 

A young wolf is similar to that of a puppy since you can throw them raw chicken meat and venison meat….
so it was understandable that the puppy who couldn’t hold his hunger anymore ran away from home. 

 

(T/N: Ecology is the study of the relationship between living organisms.
Trivia why a wolf is similar to a dog, was because they are two species that share 98.8% of the same DNA.

E/N: for those who wish to know more, the term venison is used to describe the meat of a deer or antelope.
Venison comes from animals such as our native whitetail deer, reindeer, moose, elk, and several non-native animals such as red deer, axis deer, fallow deer, sika deer, blackbuck antelope, and nilgai antelope.)

 

 

This happened after the Grand Duke and his wife suddenly went to the battlefield only one year after having their child.
In fact, the Grand Duchess didn’t know how to take care of her immediate offspring after 150 years, so she wondered if things would’ve been better if they hadn’t gone to the battlefield. 

 

The Grand Duke and his wife were direct descendants of those born 150 years ago. They were in the position to be cared for, not in the position to care. The elders have passed away in the many years of their lives. 

 

He was the twilight of the long life of the beast people.
He was a boon to them but also a misfortune at the same time as he was an immediate descendant born after a long time.
No one knew how to take care of the puppy, so the child who was born after a long time almost died of starvation. 

However, Alexa knew how to take care of a puppy. 

 

‘It’s thanks to reading that novel.’

 

Isn’t it enough for her to follow what the female lead had done? 

 

For Alexa to survive, she must become the can’t-live-and-should-die butler of the puppy.
This was the reason she was doing her best to look after the puppy.
Because if the people of the Grand Duke saw her with a puppy following her, they would try to take her away!  

 

Alexa didn’t want to die at the hands of the Grand Duke’s knights. 

 

 

One year – isn’t it enough for her to live one more year of her life? She knows when she will die.
What a foolish decision she made. 

 

The female lead was the one who took care of the puppy in the novel. 

 

‘She was a maid in the Grand Duke’s mansion…….’

 

Alexa was going to take her place.
She was going to tame the puppy and go to the Grand Duke’s mansion instead of the female lead.
That was her goal.
Then after that, she can ask them to spare the people of her village in exchange for what she had done for the puppy. 

 

When Alexa fell into thoughts, the puppy pulled her sleeve to get her attention. 

 

“Hmm, you’re hungry? Do you want to eat? Hmm, you want to take a walk?”

 

“Ahng! Ahng!”

 

The puppy, understanding the words from Alexa as it has been living with her for a month, circled Alexa excitedly as it waged its tail. 

 

Ah, it’s cute. 

 

The reason she read the novel was because of the description of this cute puppy.
She was sure that the author learned about puppies, hence giving them/him pink paws, pink belly, pink nose and ears! 

 

She fiddled with his ears as if she was in trance.
She felt like her heart was at ease. 

 

“Hehe Aigoo, good boy!”

 

Alexa continued to think as she put the harness she had cut out of the fabric over the dog’s body.

 

The Grand Duke and his wife had left the battlefield in the north, and there was still a long way to go before they would return.
In the meantime, the butlers and the other members of their family, who lost their young successor, must’ve been on a tightrope right now.
They would kill all the people of the village if they noticed about the wolf’s existence. 

 

Unfortunately, however, the place they found the dog was at the heroine’s place near the village.
Alexa diligently searched for the female lead according to the contents of the novel, but she was nowhere to be found. 

 

‘Am I remembering it wrong?’

 

That might be the case. It has been a while since she read the novel.
She put it off until it was finished but she didn’t have the chance to read it in the end…. 

 

Anyway, finding the female lead was futile.
Alexa was planning to save the people of this village from the wolves of the Grand Duke, who believed that killing people was that simple. 

 

Perhaps, it was natural for the male lead to become a villain while growing up in such a bloody environment.
Moreover, he had thrust a knife at the person who offended him as if his heart was made of ice. 

 

That’s why before this puppy turned into a human who wielded a sword, her final goal was to get a generous award for taking care of the puppy at the right time and come out of the Grand Duchy. 

 

‘What if I get stabbed by a knife while staying next to you?’

 

It’s best to avoid risk.
Besides, hasn’t the female lead of this novel been decided already? 

 

‘I don’t want to be next to him as an extra.’

 

After all, the Thersion’s bloodline turns into a human at the age of 16 and then forgets all their previous memories.
It was a curse placed on the Thersion because they inherited the blood of a werewolf.
The curse was passed down to a descendant with the strongest ability. 

 

He will make his social debut at the age of 20 after four years of Spartan-style infusion education, subsequent to him coming back to his human form.
It was possible since his basic stats were all outstanding. 

 

Anyway, before leaving the castle and if she leaves the puppy to the female lead….
Then the content of the novel won’t be shaken, and it will be good for both Alexa and the puppy.
It was a good outcome. 

 

Alexa, who read the novel, was sure that the Grand Duke does not forget grudges, but also wouldn’t forget her grace.
Obviously, Alexa would take care of him for the fortune she can live on for the rest of her life.  

 

The problem, however, is that the male lead will forget all his memories when he returns to his human form to the secondary sexual trait.
From then on, Alexa will become an ‘unknown person’ from ‘a person with grace’.
What Alexa has to watch out for was the human form of the male lead. 

 

According to the setting of the novel, the male lead was particularly cruel as he was born with a larger percentage of the wolf blood lacking humanity.
He presented a ‘human toy’ to the female lead before he was purified by the female lead.
The female lead then taught the male lead, Tyler, about human dignity and human rights, and hired a maid he called a toy. 

 

However, the male lead was clever and good at acting.
He killed the maid that got his attention in the absence of the female lead. 

 

‘You just have to play with toys.
No need to be excessive. 

Alexa trembled.
This was simply impossible for a one-sided scene. 

 

No matter how Alexa thought of it, it was better not to get entangled with the male lead when he became a human again – be just like a stranger.

A little is also fine. 

 

“Puppy, you must never forget me.
Understand?”

 

I mean, remember specifically how and what I did to you, okay? The dog in the harness wags its tail and stares at Alexa, who was telling him not to wield a sword because she doesn’t want him to. As he is a wolf, his eyes had a hint of grey making them stunning.
Besides, his nose and mouth were a cute pink. 

 

“It’s no use looking so cute.
You can’t forget me.
Promise me!”

 

Not being able to understand Alexa’s words, the dog ran over and clung to Alexa.

 

“Iiing, iiing…”

 

Ah, my heart. Alexa was unaware of the consequences of her words at this time. 

 

‘Don’t forget, don’t forget me.
Ah, Alex, Alexa.’ 

 

Alexa walked out of the street without knowing what the dog was thinking.
The dog then walked dignifiedly with his four legs as he practised around with Alexa. 

 

‘A wolf is a wolf.’ 

As he was in his baby form now, his legs were short and like a ball of cotton. 

 

“Kyaah! It’s a puppy, Mom!”

 

“Isn’t it cute? Shall I ask what’s the puppy’s name?”

 

Fortunately, Alexa’s cotton ball was born with a look that would be loved by people.
He was favoured by people wherever he went.
Just like the child who approached him closely like this. 

 

‘A name?’

 

Of course, she knew the dog’s real name was ‘Ysildus Thersion’.
However, if she revealed that she knew the identity of Ysildus, then the Grand Duke’s people will be suspicious of her.
For example, they might think that an orphaned girl stole the puppy for a bounty. 

 

But she wasn’t the female lead that can give the puppy a special name.
She just called him ‘puppy this, puppy that’ day and night. 

 

‘Is it better to give him a name?’

 

The reason she hasn’t given the dog a name was to not deviate too much from the original novel.
Originally, she was trying to run away from everything when she first entered the novel.
There were times she would cross rivers with her skirts rolled up, or there were times that she was climbing up mountains for a week.
But for some unknown reason, she came back like a person bound to the dog no matter how much she tried to ruin it.
She ran away, but she was stuck in one place – like a satellite orbiting the Earth. 

 

Perhaps if the content of the novel was greatly deviated, there would be restrictions.

 

‘I think a name would be fine.’

 

Wouldn’t it be necessary to give a friendly answer to a question like that? 

 

Once, Alexa had a dog and his name was Happy….
