Author Reincarnated as Villain

"When will that damn king show up? Doesn't he know that time is gold?" Van thought angrily, tired of waiting.

Unbeknownst to Van, among the crowd surrounding Olivia were three small children with blue, green, and red hair.

The three children, along with the others, were lying on the floor due to their collision with Oliver.

The child with red hair was the most unfortunate, as his head had collided with Oliver's.

"Ugh, what happened?" muttered the red-haired child while holding his head.

"H-hey, Akashi," the green-haired child stammered, calling out to the red-haired child.

Akashi, the red-haired and red-eyed child, stared at the green-haired child who called him and asked, "What's wrong, Wolford?"

Wolford, the green-haired and green-eyed child, pointed at Akashi's nose and said quietly, "There's red liquid coming from your nose."

"Huh?" Akashi muttered in confusion, touching his nose.

When he saw the blood on the tip of his finger, Akashi's eyes widened in fear.

"What is this liquid?" Akashi muttered in panic.

"It's blood."

Hearing the soft and beautiful voice, Akashi's panic instantly faded.

He turned and saw Olivia, smiling gently at him.

Olivia then extended her hand in front of Akashi's bleeding nose and murmured, "[Heal]."

A greenish light emanated from Olivia's palm and enveloped Akashi's nose.

Akashi was stunned, staring at Olivia's hand in front of him, his mind blank, and he could only feel the warm sensation on his face.

"It's done," Olivia said, retracting her hand.

Akashi finally snapped out of his daze and blushed, too embarrassed to look at Olivia's face.

In the distance, Wolford and the blue-haired child appeared to be discussing Akashi's condition.

"Ronald, what's wrong with Akashi?" Wolford asked the blue-haired and blue-eyed child beside him.

Ronald, the blue-haired and blue-eyed child, merely shrugged in response.

"Don't know," Ronald replied.

Oliver, who had also collided heads with Akashi, finally regained his senses.

"What's going on?" Oliver muttered in confusion.

A moment later, Oliver snapped back to reality as memories of his drunken state flooded his mind.

"BIG BROTHER *#!@!" Oliver cursed.

*POW

A punch landed on Oliver's head, causing him to wince in pain. Clearly, the aftereffects of the headbutt were still lingering.

"Who did that?" Oliver said, glaring behind him.

"Watch your words. We're in public," Olivia said.

Oliver, who had initially been bold, immediately became fearful upon realizing it was Olivia who had punched him.

"The Royal Family has arrived!" the knight at the door shouted.

The grand doors of the banquet hall finally opened.

A family consisting of the King, Queen, Crown Prince, and Princess entered the hall.

The Royal Family of Avalon walked in slowly, but each step echoed in the grand banquet hall.

Every noble present watched closely as the royal family walked towards the podium in the center of the hall.

Van, who was in a corner of the banquet hall, also observed the royal family. Various thoughts passed through his mind.

King Augustus Julius von Avalon, the 50th ruler of Avalon. The strongest person in the Kingdom of Avalon. He appeared as a 180 cm tall man with blonde hair and red eyes.

Queen Elizabeth Taylor von Avalon, the most beautiful woman in the Kingdom of Avalon. She had white hair and blue eyes.

Crown Prince Caesar Julian von Avalon, the heir to the Avalon throne. At just 17 years old, Caesar had already reached level 35, showcasing his talent. He appeared as a teenager with blonde hair and blue eyes.

Princess Vivian Elena von Avalon, the youngest member of the Avalon royal family. At only 6 years old, Vivian possessed the [Holy] magic attribute, a power only bestowed upon those chosen by [God]. She had blonde hair and blue eyes.

'What an impressive family,' Van thought.

The Royal Family of Avalon finally arrived at the podium, and King Augustus Julius gazed at the nobles.

*GLUP

Unknowingly, several nobles swallowed nervously due to their anxiety.

"Good evening, noble families of the Kingdom of Avalon. Tonight, the Royal Family is hosting the [Royal Banquet] to remind everyone that in two weeks, we will celebrate the 1000th anniversary of the Kingdom of Avalon," King Augustus said.

Upon hearing King Augustus' statement, Van suddenly remembered that it was now February.

That meant winter was about to end, and spring would soon arrive.

For other kingdoms, spring was just a passing season. However, for the Kingdom of Avalon, spring marked the anniversary of its founding.

The anniversary of the Kingdom of Avalon also held a philosophical significance.

In the past, the [Demon King Gehenna] had been defeated when winter ended, signaling the end of the cold. Winter represented an era of darkness, with animals hibernating, trees appearing dead, and humans staying indoors.

The defeat of [Demon King Gehenna] at the end of winter marked the end of the gloomy era.

The end of winter meant the arrival of spring. Spring, when plants began to grow again, animals woke from their hibernation, and humans could finally step outside.

"Therefore, on the 1st of January, the [Festival of Avalon], which has not been held since World War III, will take place in the Capital of the Kingdom of Avalon!" King Augustus announced loudly.

Hearing King Augustus' decree, all the nobles' eyes widened.

However, the surprise quickly turned into excitement.

"LONG LIVE KING AUGUSTUS!" the nobles cheered.

[The Festival of Avalon] wasn't just an ordinary celebration; it was a grand festival that involved the entire capital.

This event would certainly bring great profit to the nobles.

Moreover, there was also the [Colosseum] where knights or mages could fight each other to showcase their abilities.

If they were lucky, they could be recruited by the nobles and gain immense wealth.

While the other nobles were celebrating, Van, on the other hand, was not pleased.

"From what I remember, I never wrote in my novel that [The Festival of Avalon] happens when Oliver is still 6 years old. [The Festival of Avalon] is supposed to happen when Oliver and Olivia graduate from the Academy," Van thought.
