Borzoi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Borzoi probably said something insane.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Maxwell connected it all back to him somehow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the rumors started spreading.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, the Holy Knights continued explaining carefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At first, he only found the situation suspicious.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He believed the beast rampage did not look natural.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He also noticed that the border town strangely stabilized after your arrival.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clay almost choked internally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That sounds terrible when said out loud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another knight added,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And then there was Borzoi.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clay immediately focused on that name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What about him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The knight hesitated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He fought Maxwell.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time even Frazanna’s expression became serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It was not a normal fight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He almost died.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clay’s eyes widened slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That serious?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another knight hurriedly spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maxwell became convinced that Borzoi and his people were connected to the beast evolution.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And Borzoi...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The knight swallowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He repeatedly mentioned you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside Clay’s mind—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BORZOI YOU IDIOT.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>WHY WOULD YOU MENTION ME.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>WHAT EXACTLY DID YOU SAY.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>WHY ARE YOU DRAGGING ME INTO THIS.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outwardly though, Clay merely rubbed his forehead lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frazanna quietly observed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You truly do not know about this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clay immediately looked at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he laughed lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lady Frazanna.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I knew someone was spreading rumors that I’m secretly causing disasters across the continent...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you really think I’d still be relaxing around the border town every day?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That answer sounded extremely reasonable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Too reasonable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the Holy Knights themselves began doubting Maxwell’s conclusions slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because Clay truly looked confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not fake confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside his head though—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is horrible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The main character is already targeting me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This absolutely never ends well for villains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wait.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m not even the villain yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ve been trying NOT to become one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He suddenly looked at Frazanna again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So Maxwell believed I’m behind everything?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frazanna hesitated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then nodded slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clay sighed deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Exhausted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he looked up toward the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a while, nobody spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, his thoughts continued spiraling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why does this always happen to me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I solved problems and somehow became more suspicious instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I protected the town and apparently that makes me look evil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I relaxed peacefully and the protagonist started hunting me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of cursed fate is this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maid Cy silently listened to all of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And for the first time in a while—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She genuinely felt a little guilty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because technically...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maxwell reaching that conclusion was heavily connected to her actions too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clay slowly lowered his head again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he suddenly asked,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where is Maxwell now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frazanna shook her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We do not know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He disappeared after the battle.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another knight quietly added,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But before leaving...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He warned us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clay narrowed his eyes slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Warned you about what?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The knight answered carefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He said...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That the young master of the Valmont Family might become the greatest threat to this continent.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For several long seconds, nobody spoke after those words were said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air itself seemed heavier now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the gryphon behind Clay slowly lowered its head and released a low growl, as though it could feel the change in its master’s mood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Clay simply stood there silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But inside his head—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything had already become chaotic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Greatest threat to the continent?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of nonsense is that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why is the protagonist already trying to label me as some final boss?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He slowly exhaled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then looked back toward the Holy Knights again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tell me everything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His tone was calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Too calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That alone made the Holy Knights become nervous again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frazanna quietly nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There is not much else we know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But after Maxwell fought Borzoi... he became completely convinced.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clay’s eyes narrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Convinced of what exactly?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That you are connected to the beast evolution.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another knight immediately added carefully,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He believed the Bersuka warriors were acting under your orders.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He also believed the creatures becoming stronger over time was unnatural.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clay immediately replied,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But it is unnatural.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Holy Knights froze briefly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Clay realized what he just said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly cleared his throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I mean...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Obviously it’s unnatural.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Anyone with eyes can tell that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside his head though—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Careful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Careful, you idiot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t accidentally sound suspicious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Maid Cy quietly looked away for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because honestly—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That almost sounded like a confession.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frazanna continued speaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maxwell also said Borzoi possessed strange abilities.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Especially something similar to anti magic.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clay’s expression twitched slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That idiot Borzoi really fought him seriously?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What exactly happened while I was sleeping peacefully?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another knight slowly spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And according to Maxwell...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He only became that powerful after meeting you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside Clay’s head—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BORZOI.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>YOU ABSOLUTE DISASTER.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>WHY WOULD YOU SAY THINGS LIKE THAT TO THE MAIN CHARACTER.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He suddenly rubbed his forehead again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, his peaceful mood from earlier had already completely disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frazanna carefully observed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You truly had nothing to do with the rumors spreading?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clay immediately looked at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then laughed once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this time, the laugh sounded tired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lady Frazanna.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I truly wanted to destroy the

someone reasonable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sighed deeply again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve literally been eating, sleeping, walking around town, and relaxing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I even avoided unnecessary fights.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside his head though—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mostly because I’m terrified of becoming the villain from the dream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And somehow the main character is already targeting me anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more he thought about it, the more wrong everything felt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something was clearly spiraling out of control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the worst part—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did not even know how much Maxwell truly knew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Clay looked back toward Frazanna again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How strong did Maxwell become?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The question surprised everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frazanna blinked once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He became much stronger during the fight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another knight slowly added,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At some point, even Borzoi nearly died.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clay’s eyes immediately sharpened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That answer genuinely shocked him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because Borzoi was not weak anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not after receiving his upgraded potential.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not after reaching the Berserk phases.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Maxwell still almost killed him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside Clay’s head, alarms immediately started ringing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s bad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s really bad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The protagonist is growing too fast already.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He suddenly remembered the dream again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maxwell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The main character.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one destined to eventually oppose the ultimate villain version of himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That same protagonist already viewed him as an enemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dangerous enemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Holy Knights meanwhile continued talking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After the battle, Maxwell disappeared.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But before leaving...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He repeatedly warned everyone about you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frazanna quietly added,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He believed that if nobody stopped you early...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Something catastrophic would happen later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clay slowly lowered his gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The atmosphere around him gradually became colder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not because he intentionally released pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But because his emotions themselves were becoming unstable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frustration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Irritation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And underneath all of it—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he knew something the others did not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The version of himself that truly did become a monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What if—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What if Maxwell somehow sensed something real?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, that made no sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could he possibly know?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside Clay’s head, his thoughts rapidly spiraled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did the protagonist somehow figure out the future?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then why is he targeting me this early?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maid Cy?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Borzoi?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beast evolution?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His expression slowly darkened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because suddenly—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another terrifying possibility entered his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What if the story itself is trying to force things back?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What if no matter what I do...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The protagonist and I are destined to become enemies anyway?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That thought alone immediately ruined his mood completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Holy Knights quietly became tense seeing his expression change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Frazanna unconsciously took a small breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because right now—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clay no longer looked relaxed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the first time since arriving, something dangerous finally appeared in him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not openly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But enough that everyone around could feel it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes slowly lowered toward the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, inside his head—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>System.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice sounded much quieter now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Much more serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What’s going on?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A brief silence followed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His aura slowly became foul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heavy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Disturbing enough that even the gryphon behind him stopped moving completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And inside his mind, Clay finally asked—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>System... why is he going after me?\u003C\u002Fp>",1927,"2026-06-03T08:04:25.348Z","2026-06-03T08:04:34.574Z",1,"novelbin.me","2abb4d6dc5e3ae8b9435ec21862950fc6273454eec763238642648047f3200d1","my-maids-are-all-final-villainesses-chapter-108","my-maids-are-all-final-villainesses-chapter-106",111,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmy-maids-are-all-final-villainesses-cover.jpg"]
