Anyone Beats the Original - Chapter 3

“This man…”

“Isn’t this the only daughter of the host Clauda?”

Yes, that’s right. I’m the only daughter. And that Evangeline Clauda, who will marry you and go to the queue for the heroine’s sword.

I was enjoying the feeling of the collapse of the world with a desperate expression. The world must have abandoned me. How can ‘opportunely’ like this happen? What a coincidence!

As I roared inside, I sat down. I couldn’t stand anymore because my legs were weak.

As I screamed into my heart, I suddenly heard a low voice.

“Evangeline, Clauda?”

I raised my head. I’ve heard the name for almost five years, so it’s stuck in my ears like my name now.

As I stared at the person who called me reflexively, I could feel the face of the original criminal, Rubellian Florence, hardened.

“What are you doing here?”

“…”

“Rather than going out… I think you’re like running away from home.”

Damn, his sense is almost the speed of light.

My mouth can’t move. When I was sighing because I didn’t know how to answer it, Rubellian tilted his head.

“Can’t you talk?”

If I can’t talk, I can’t get married?

Yeah, in terms of the face of the Duke, it’s a little bit hard to set up the Duchess who can’t even socialize.

“That would be better. You won’t chatter for no reason.”

“Oh, Your Grace the Duke! It would be such an honor to see you in a place like this!”

As soon as Rubellian’s words fell, a single spark went out, and I rose with a broad smile. He opened his mouth.

“Do you know me?”

“Oh, of course. Is there anyone in the world who doesn’t know the Duke? Ho ho ho ho ho.”

As I noticed, it seemed that he hated talking a lot. So I immediately entered the chatter mode and started laughing.

Oh, I must look a little crazy.

But even though the person who was sitting on the ground until just now suddenly laughed and chattered, he seemed to have no surprise. All I could do was smile on his neat, handsome face.

Oh, my God. There was a reason nobody noticed until he turned out to be the criminal. Who would have thought he was a villain when he was polite and so handsome, handsome, and handsome.

I met him anyway. What can I do now that we’ve met? I’m going to be dragged back.

Rubellian stared at me with excruciatingly tiresome. His ruby eyes were fixed on me, and I gulped as I looked him in the eye.

What are you gonna say? Maybe I hate a talkative woman like you-

“First of all, let’s take you home.”

Eh, it can’t be.

I ended up dust my ass off. The runaway was now over. Covered in the pile of dirt, I sighed heavily and approached the carriage.

“Escort.”

It was then. He reached out to me as I tried to squeeze myself into the carriage.

I had no choice but to look surprised.

Oh, my God, I can’t believe he’s going to escort a dusty person by himself… Is my father that rich? Or am I that pretty?

I gulped down my saliva. Anyway, it was good to go home smoothly for now. I wandered on the street like an idiot, so I reached out my dirty hand to him.

“Oh, thank you.”

Nevertheless, Rubellian did not respond much. He merely frowned subtly.

As soon as I got into the carriage, Rubellian entered the carriage. He was using a small carriage with no patterns, perhaps not so proud of coming to my house.

Thanks to him, I had no choice but to weep inwardly because I had to rub myself against him in a cramped carriage.

“The carriage was cramped, so I’ve caused Lady an offense.”

“Oh, no. I’m honored to be together with Your Grace the Duke!”

I continued to act like a stupid person and clapping my hands. I think it’s a little too much, but on the list of likes and dislikes of Rubellian Florence, which Aida brought a few days ago, clearly said, “He hates stupid things.” Well, I don’t know where any humans like stupid things.

Oh, come to think of it, there was also ‘He hates a woman who has a strong smell of perfume, has a heavy makeup, who are luxury and chatty’. Looking at that, I said, ‘Who are you? You’re not Harley Queen’s male lead’ I complained.

Hyuk, then isn’t that very dangerous? When you look at me with dirt all over my body, you say, ‘You’re the first person who was covered in the dirt instead of a flower in front of me!’ Just say like this…!

“Lady?”

“Yes!”

Oh, my voice was too loud.

I turned my head towards the direction of the voice and found that the carriage had stopped.

I looked awkwardly at Rubellian, standing outside the carriage with a strange expression.

Oh, is this okay? Does it look stupid?

No, but I think I’ve only been thinking of Rubellian, Rubellian, and Rubellian since a while ago?

I rubbed my hands and slowly got out of the carriage with breathing. In the meantime, I didn’t forget to hold Rubellian’s hand.

I’ll have to touch you from time to time and get rid of you. You seem to hate the type of woman who sticks to you.

After getting off of the carriage, I grinned as I looked at the familiar mansion. At that moment, a breathless sound rang in my ears.

“E, Eve!”

Oh, I can hear it. The sound of my father’s blood pressure rising.

I smiled faintly. You can’t spit on my smiling face, you should just laugh and watch for now. I held Rubellian’s hand tightly and opened my mouth.

“Fa, father… Oh.”

“You, you, you!”

Surprised by my father’s angry face, I stepped back, and the eyes of Rubellian stuck on me tenaciously.

What are you looking at, is this the first time you’ve seen a beautiful woman surprised?

“Your Grace found me and brought me back. Right, Your Grace the Duke?”

I smiled brightly as I alternately looked at Rubellian and my father with a thick-skinned face.

My father looked red and wanted to say something to me. Maybe because Rubellian with me, he tried to swallow everything and smiled.

“Your Grace the Duke, I’m sorry that our Eve is so immature…”

“It’s all right. I think I’ll have to go receive it often in the future, and it’s good to have acquainted myself with her in advance.”

Huh? What do you mean? You go after me? Why?

At the words of Rubellian, I turned my head. Maybe this isn’t the pattern I think? No, but we just met today? Really, ‘You’re the first person covered in dirt in front of me!’ Are you not gonna say like this?

“I’m sorry. I was rude in front of Your Grace because I couldn’t properly educate my daughter.”

Father bowed himself once again and apologized. Rubellian said with a cool face.

“I’d like to see what you promised, let alone this idle chatter.”

“Oh, yes! I’ve already prepared it! Aida, hurry up and bring Eve to her room!”

I lost my words to this situation when I was going back.

These guys, did you make a secret deal or something? Could it be that things have already gone so far beyond my ability to stop it?!

“My lady.”

Staring at the back of Rubellian entering the mansion with my father, I turned my head towards Aida.

Her eyes were swollen because she had been worried about me, and she was secretly provoking my guilt.

“You should go to your room quickly, wash up, and make yourself pretty.”

“…Uh yes.”

“Well, my lady, what would you do? Because your first meeting with Your Grace was so bad. What a destiny.”

…That’s what I want to say.

I went up to the room with Aida, shaking my head off. Soon some of the maids clung to me, washed me, and moved me to the dressing table.

Goodness- Seriously, why am I so pretty in the middle of all this!1

The beauty of ‘I’ in the mirror was working hard today. On my pure white and smooth skin like a peeled boiled egg, with the platinum hair, and the pretty jade-colored eyes.

I want to go to modern times with this face.

Marriage or whatever, I think this face would make me a famous actor to remain in Hollywood history.

“My lady, it’s just to make up for your first impression by dressing up pretty! Don’t worry, there’s always a chance! Because destiny is in your own hands!”

Aida said with excitement about where she had read any self-help books.

At the moment I was about to sigh at her words, I quickly searched the drawers of the dressing table with a sudden thought.

“My lady?”

“Found it!”

What I had in my hand was none other than the list of likes and dislikes of the Rubellian that Aida brought me a few days ago. With this, I’ll be on the Rubellian’s list of detestable people!

“Aida, do what I say from now on.”

“Yes! What shall I do?”

I scattered the list. In the past, there was no woman at all, and there was no specific taste for women. Oh, and it seems that I saw the narration that Rubellian was not interested in women…

Anyway, I researched the list in detail and sorted out one by one that might be helpful.

First, he hates stupid things.

Oh, this is appealing enough with my acting skills.

Second, he hates things that are luxurious and have a lot of vanities.

Yeah, that’s it!

“Aida, get that dress in my closet! The white dress I brought from the salon the day before yesterday! It’s full of pearls and diamonds! That dress with a flowy lace!”

“Yes, I understand!”

Aida nodded at my excited remark. And seeing her disappearing like an arrow, I turned my head back to the list.

“Umm, he hates dirty things. He hates it beyond the normal level. Oh, then oh my goodness. You must have been completely disgusted with my appearance a moment ago?”

Thank God. I kept reading the list with a deep sigh of relief.

“Well, he hates chatters. Yes, I check this one first. I know he hates the smell of perfume… Umm, he has excellent political talent,… No, it’s the Duke, but wouldn’t it be excellent?”

I shook my head in disagreement.

Below that, it was filled with just what kind of food he liked and what habits he had.  It didn’t seem to be worth a reference, so I ended up folding the list back and putting it in the drawer.

Just in time, Aida came into the room holding my dress.

“Here, my lady!”

Look at that dazzling dress. This rich luxury and the scent of pleasure! I smiled and opened my mouth.

“Aida. Could you bring me all the diamond necklaces and pearl feather decorations that my father gave me?”

“Uh… But if you wear all that, wouldn’t it be too much?”

Aida said anxiously, but I shook my head. If it is too much, the better it is. If this is the case, it would be better to match it with white. Fucking Angel- No, it will be like a pillow. I was so proud of my thoughts that I had to laugh.

How long had it been? I stood in front of the mirror after finishing all the decorations.

And at that moment, Aida blinked her eyes and spat out admiration.

“Wow, you’re so beautiful.”

Wow, it’s overpaid. What a beautiful pillow.

I shook my head in admiration at the different points from Aida. Of course, it was an expression of pleasure.

Now, shall we go now? Where are you? I can’t wait to make you hate me!
