Because She Had A Time Limit, She Became The Villain’s Daughter-in-law - Chapter 62

Chapter 62

“However, if you ever summon a demon to do such a thing, the conditions will be extremely difficult. Demons don’t sign contracts in favor of humans.”

That didn’t matter much.

Duke Icard seemed to want to revive Matilda no matter what the conditions were.

“Well.”

I shrugged.

“Anyway, it’s a later story. When I run away, and Evan marries Princess Elanie.”

“That’s right.”

Serena nodded as she spoke. “We really want to help Miss Laria escape.”

“Then, let’s think about it slowly. Even if I run away, I’ll do it in a few years.”

“It’s not a big deal for us to wait a few years. So, you can take your time, like every day.”

It was very burdensome to think about something slowly and daily. Though if it wasn’t for money, I was a person who could easily get over it.

“By the way.”

Serena held my hand and spoke seriously. “What happened to that Seymour stalker? Actually, that intrigues me more.”

“More than black magic?”

“I guess that’s my specialty.”

She said resolutely.

“Secret dating is only established between light relationships. If you become serious, it becomes a romance novel with all sorts of hardships.”

Oh my gosh, Serena was such an expert. Seymour was the main character in a romance novel! Although I wasn’t the heroine.

“It’s fun to look at, but it’s painful for the person involved.”

“It is, but… it’s not like that.”

I answered lightly.

“After we talked, I realized there was some misunderstanding. He wants to be a secret business partner with me. He’s not a stalker.”

“Oh my. Aren’t we secret business partners?”

At that, her hands trembled.

“That nobleman who came from nowhere is trying to take away the role from the dark guild, isn’t he?”

You must have heard of it somewhere. It must have been Lisa’s words to Serena.

“Did Evan accept it? Didn’t he say he was going to rip that man’s throat?”

“It’s fine, but what could he do?”

I shrugged at her words.

“Even if he’s my husband, he can’t get involved in my relationships.”

“That’s true, but…”

“Of course, he wanted to draw a sword, but I persuaded him well. I’m the one who decides my social relationship.”

“If he resembles Duke Icard, he would never accept it.”

I pointed out the decisive difference between the Duke of Icard and Evan. “But, Evan is still young. If I teach him well, he won’t be able to refute it.”

“I see… I guess he really believes in you, Miss Laria.”

Serena blinked and muttered.

“But, when that belief is broken, things will really happen. If he did everything he was told to do, but Laria runs away, he’ll feel completely betrayed…”

“Mmh…”

According to the original plot, rather than feeling betrayed, he was indifferent. Nonetheless, even if the original was changed and a different result appeared, I couldn’t risk my life because of the blackening of the villain.

Of course, Evan was cute, but this was a life issue, so there was nothing I could do.

“He’s still cute…”

“Laria is probably the only one who thinks the Young Lord is cute.”

Serena shook her head.

“Lord Evan won’t always be thirteen. It’s common to be eaten by a man who you think it’s cute but has matured at some point.”

“…What?”

“I told you. No matter how great Miss Laria is, this is my specialty.”

Serena sighed deeply and shook her head.

“That idea of ​​believing that the Lord is cute will last two years tops. And then, the two of you will be completely different…”

“Do you want to get a license as a specialist?”

I smirked.

“But for now, I’m the perfect lover.”

“Miss Laria is fourteen. There is only one year difference.”

“The mental age is different. Basically, sick children grow old quickly. Even though I’m getting better, I’ve been sick since I was little.”

“Yes…”

Serena held my hand tightly.

“…You’ve been through a lot since childhood.”

I was the Count’s daughter, but my father’s love affairs and gambling were serious.

Objectively speaking, my childhood was unfortunate.

In particular, according to what Serena knows, the situation would be even worse. I became an orphan at a young age and was in deep debt, and I got married and I’m going to get killed when the time comes.

“By the way, Serena, I hope you don’t tell me to meet another guy in the future.”

I spoke firmly to her.

“My father’s love affairs were definitely bad.”

“Ah… Oh, my God.”

Serena’s expression turned red with embarrassment. Her face showed that she hadn’t thought of it that far.

“I got married by arrangement with Evan, but as long as I’m bound to this marriage, I’ll do my best.”

“…I’m sorry.”

She replied sullenly.

“I’ll never, ever say that from now on. I didn’t think much.”

“Anyway.”

After the banquet, I began to open the piles of correspondence one by one.

“It’s over if I run away anyway, so if I’m worried about Evan, it’s enough to prepare more thoroughly.”

As I spoke casually, I found a slightly special letter tucked between the envelopes.

“Oh, it’s father’s.”

As soon as I arrived at the villa, I sent a thank you letter in a very friendly tone. Although since there was no reply, I thought he was busy or not interested in me.

However, the letter came after the banquet.

[ Did anything go wrong at the banquet? I wonder if Vietti Ubinat was being arrogant. ]

How did he know Vietti’s name from there? He was a capable and hardworking black curtain.

[ I’m ready to blow up the mines belonging to Count Ubinat, so please send me the banquet review as a reply. ]

Furthermore, he was ready to destroy some wealthy households.

As expected, He had all the elements of a black curtain character.

‘But the black magic… he won’t succeed, right?’

Because Queen Elanie eventually falls for Seymour. One of the steps to use black magic was Imperial permission.

‘And, since she and Evan weren’t on good terms to the point of asking for a divorce, she wouldn’t permit to use black magic…’

I was lost in thought for a moment and shook my head right away.

‘It has nothing to do with me.’

I just have to secretly save money and run away like I’m planning now.

In the end, Duke Icard’s wish fails.

As I glanced out the window, the petals were fluttering. After thinking for a while about my first dance with Evan, I asked seriously.

“Does your father still secretly report on my condition?”

“Yes.”

After we all came to Borotna, Serena had been writing to him regularly following Duke Icard’s orders.

Of course, it was about my health.

“Because you’ve been doing your best to take care of yourself, your condition has improved a lot on the outside, but the underlying problem has not been resolved, so it’s about seven years at the longest… I keep sending it like that.”

“Then, what about the reply?”

“…There’s no reply. Looking at how busy Duke Icard must be, how could he reply?”

He’s analyzing even his daughter-in-law’s social life in the midst of being very busy…

Also, a black curtain had to be diligent.

Of course, I was busy, too.

“I should call Lisa.”

I casually lifted the quill.

“I have so many letters to send. I’m going to be really busy for a while.”

At the banquet, I almost shattered Vietti’s crowd, so it was time to start working in earnest.

After analyzing Serena’s data and making a tea party scheduled in various combinations, I grinned, satisfied. Besides the letter for the circle of socialites, I wrote two more letters.

One was a reply to Duke Icard.

[ Father, everything is fine. Olivia taught me great skills and I did a great job. ]

To interpret,

—It wasn’t because of my abilities that I did well, but because of Olivia’s teachings.

Clearly, my father, who was a capable black curtain, will also know that at the banquet I had separated the Vietti crowd, far from getting into trouble.

‘If the black curtain character starts suspecting of me, I’m done. I have to be insignificant till the end. That way, he won’t be vigilant until I run away.’

[ Thanks to her, I got close to the young lady Eldspy while taking classes at the Marquis household. ]

Meaning,

—Even if I’m doing well here from now on, it’s all thanks to young lady Eldspy. I’m just lucky to be next to her.

[ This villa is getting so much better as time passes. I like everything. ]

—This is the perfect place for me, so I have no intention of going to the capital.

[ It was nice to see Evan after a long time. Soon I will come to the capital. I really miss you too.]

—Let’s not see each other until then.

That’s how I finished my letter.

In addition to the letter for the Duke, I added another one to the temple.

[ Marcel, come here to bless me. ]

It was time to dim the existence of Kyle Dart Lavonis.

Duke Icard was a man who had waited in darkness for years for his purposes. I also had the confidence to diligently prepare that much for the steamed run. Once again, it was time to strengthen my will to run away.

I glanced at the window in silence.

“Wait a minute.”

When I glanced out the window earlier, the petals I thought were fluttering were just there. I stood up and approached the window.

“Oh, my God.”

There were petals ‘stuck’ on the window of my room. It looked like someone had put them all together.

“Every time I see petals, I think I’ll remember our first dance.”

I couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Anyway, it was cute, my husband.
