A fortune-telling princess - Chapter 4

That way, you and I will end up dead.

Time to cut this crap, you’ll have to put your useless jealousy to rest.

A few minutes later, when I entered the restaurant, a man was seated. The owner of this place is Duke Sorpel. His son, Ludville, was nowhere to be seen.

‘Now is that time.’

After confirming that Ludville was not at the dinner table, Camila could roughly guess what time it was. It was a time of great rebellion in the western region. To quell the rebellion, Ludville led the army and left.

‘From now on.’

Ravi’s jealousy began to explode. Because Ludville comes back from there with great achievements.

‘By the way… … .’

Camila, who gave Duke Sorpel’s gaze, exclaimed inwardly.

‘Mister, why don’t you get married again?’

It is said that even these days, the chasing of the ladies continues.

‘It’s a waste to just rot like this.‘

Camila and Ravi’s mother remarried to Duke Sorpel and lived happily ever after.

But that time didn’t last long. This is because, less than a year after marriage, her mother died suddenly in a horse accident.

People assumed that after her death Camila and Ravi would of course be ousted from the dukes. There was absolutely no reason for the Duke to keep them with them, not even a drop of blood.

However, Duke Sorpel broke everyone’s expectations and showed the appearance of accepting two young children who had lost their mothers.

“… … .”

Upon the appearance of Camila and Ravi, Duke Sorpel set aside the newspaper he was reading and the glasses he was wearing and looked at them.

‘Wow.’

Obviously, the pose is no joke. Camila made eye contact with him, and her body stiffened without realizing it.

‘Take her away.’

The cold voice that gave orders to the knights. The frosty eyes that turned to Camila.

How many deaths have you faced under those eyes?

Gulp.

Camila swallowed dry saliva. Cold sweat dripped down her back and his fingertips trembled slightly.

The moment I saw him, I knew for sure. What kind of place is this place, and what kind of end will you face if you stay like this?

“You are late.”

Duke Sorpel, who was looking at Camila and Ravi alternately, opened his mouth for the first time.

“That is… … .”

“I’m sorry. I overslept.”

“… … .”

“… … .”

The eyes of Duke Sorpel and Ravi turned to Camila at the same time. Both of them had the same emotion in their eyes.

wonder and surprise.

Wasn’t she the one who couldn’t even raise her head properly, let alone speak in front of Duke Sorpel?

The only expression of emotion and action she did was to keep her mouth shut with an expression full of dissatisfaction. It was extremely rare to see Duke Sorpel straight in the eyes and speak out.

‘Besides, are you laughing?’

Convinced that she was still not awake, Ravi gently shook his head.

“Sit down.”

Duke Sorpel offered a seat without saying anything else. As soon as the two of them sat down, the maids hurriedly served the food.

‘Whoa.’

Calm down.

Watching Duke Sorpel, Camila tried to manage her expression even more.

Was there ever a time when he was so lucky to be an actor? He was the one who finished acting with a smile even in the pain right before the appendix burst.

‘That’s about it.’

Camila looked at the food placed in front of her with a dazed expression.

‘It’s meat from the morning.’

Meat… good.

‘Besides, seasoned meat.’

When was the last time you ate well-seasoned meat because of your diet?

Camila glanced at the shiny steak for a moment without saying a word. Some of the maids looked at her and grinned.

‘Yes, laugh all you want.’

It will end today.

Seeing such maids, Camila also grinned.

The maids’ faces became puzzled, but Camila looked straight ahead. Then he quickly cut the meat in front of him.

“Father.”

“What?”

After the meat was neatly cut into bite-sized pieces, Camila carefully presented her plate to the Duke of Sorpel.

“Eat this. I cut them all so that you can eat them.”

This time, Duke Sorpel’s eyes became noticeably bigger. Ravi also let out a dry cough and put down the glass of water he was holding quickly.

His gaze also turned to Camila. Is she finally crazy? It was just that kind of look.

“… okay.”

Duke Sorpel, who looked at the plate with Camila for a moment, took the plate she brought out without any doubt and set it down in front of him.

Then, he placed the plate that had been given to her by hand in front of her instead.

“Huh!”

“Gasp!””

The strong reaction came from other places as well.

I could feel the presence of the maids, who quickly swallowed their breath, but Camila quietly ignored their reaction. Then, pretending not to know anything, she was absorbed in his meal.

‘Oh!… It’s delicious.’

Meat is the best in the morning.

The meat was really very tender and flavorful. Soon after, a piece of meat also entered Duke Sorpel’s mouth.

Well, it’s important from now on.

“… … .”

Click-

Duke Sorpel, who was chewing the meat, quietly put down his fork. The sound rang out very loudly.

Camila looked at Duke Sorpellwith a frown on her forehead with a puzzled look, and hurriedly stood up from her seat with an ahhhhhh expression.

“Oh, father! I will eat that again!”

As if she had just remembered a fact she had forgotten, Camila was helpless and reached out for the plate in front of Duke Sorpel.

“Wait.”

Duke Sorpel, who lightly wiped the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief, restrained Camila’s hand.

Camila’s eyes met with Duke Sorpel and her eyes trembled incessantly. Soon, tears welled up in her eyes.

The moment the tears were about to fall, Camila quickly lowered her head as if trying to hide it.

As a bonus, she bit her lips too. It’s like a kid who gets caught on something he doesn’t want to be found out.

‘What kind of meat was it today?’

But no one saw the corners of her lips raised with her head bowed down.

A lump of salt? Pepper chunks? Maybe both.’

Or maybe it was the meat that fell into the trash can.

Most of the people who worked in the duke’s hated her. They harassed her in every way they could.

At first, it was very careful and petty bullying. The level of making the seasoning of food very slightly salty, or choosing a slightly bitter tea-leafs.

Camila didn’t tell her family about this. It must have been her last pride.

When she was silent, the bullying got worse and worse. There were some who cried complained as if it was unfair if they were angry because they could not bear it.

Meanwhile, the eyes of the Duke Sorpel and the family looking at Camila grew colder.

‘What kind of princess is a princess without a blood or tears?’

‘I know right! Master Ravi, you have the ability, but the young lady… .’

‘Dummy. Would your pride save you? You have to speak up. Those humans are too annoying.’

Does it make sense that the person you eat with eats this kind of food every time and no one notices anything strange looking at it?

It’s amazing how you can endure that for this long.

“It’s not the first time.”

Duke Sorpel’s voice was heard again at that moment.

“Oh no!”

Right! After all, as the head of a family, he immediately grasps the situation!

Inwardly, she called for joy, but Camila quickly shook her head with a hardened complexion. Both eyes were still red.

“Let’s talk about this again later.”

Duke Sorpel, who had stared at it for a moment without saying a word, slowly stood up from his seat and looked at a place.

“After dealing with them.”

Where his gaze was directed, there were maids whose complexion had turned blue.

* * *

“Why? What? Do you have anything to say?”

“What did you eat wrong?”

“I couldn’t eat .”

The meat was delicious.

After leaving the restaurant, Camila, who was walking with a light heart, had to stop at the end of Ravi’s gaze.

‘What kind of punishment do you want to receive?’

Looking at the tightly closed restaurant door, Camila’s lips slightly curved.

Duke Sorpel invited everyone from the butler to the maid. I could have guessed that this was not going to be easy.

‘I know very well.’

Duke Sorpel’s fear.

‘That determination!’

He is a person who mercilessly punishes those who harm himself or his family without giving any second chances.

So, he was able to kill Camila and Ravi, who touched his own son, without hesitation. Even though they had been living together for well over 10 years and tied up as a family.

Camila looked at Ravi with a new look. What should I do with this guy who doesn’t know when his end will be?

The taste of jealousy and envy was not yet completely gone. Yes, there is still room for renewal.

Until the woman shows up.

The woman. The woman who takes all the attention of the men in this world and makes all the women around her extras!

Ravi’s sense of inferiority explodes as her attention turns to Ludville.

Camila pondered for a moment, then shook her head.

‘Why do I care? I’ll go back anyways.’

You will be able to get out of this body the moment you come to your senses in the real world.

‘I feel sorry for those who will die.’

Tap tap.

Camila gently patted Ravi’s shoulder with a slightly pitying look. Then waked passed him.

“… what?”

What is this dirty feeling?

Ravi had to look at Camila like that for a while with a puzzled look.
