I Will Avoid the Male Lead and Make a Harem
Vol. 8: Madam Devil
Chapter 15

Camilla was going insane because she felt it was so unfair.

“How surprised the frail Selina was that she couldn’t open her eyes for three days! Thanks to you, her parents! Her mother!”

“But she’s originally a child who collapses when someone tickles her……”

“Watch your mouth!”

Anyway, the fainted Selina would soon come to her senses and be able to go about her daily life, while Camilla herself was covered in wounds.

Camilla had sent someone to the temple to request a healer priest, but for some reason, she hadn’t heard anything back.

“You make the decision! Will you stand trial alongside the painter, or will you forgive Penny and pretend nothing happened?”

Camilla, who had been staring into space for some time, finally closed her eyes and opened her mouth.

“…… If that’s what you really want, then I will comply.”

Even after hearing the answer he wanted, Cedric seemed not very happy.

“As always, you’re wise, Countess.”

As he spat out a compliment that didn’t sound like a compliment, a twisted smile crept across his lips.

“Instead, I will make a promise to you. I’ll prepare the grand banquet you’ve been longing for.”

Cedric walked out of her room as if he didn’t want to stay any longer.

Camilla stiffened at the last look on his face as if she had been hit on the back of her head.

‘Cedric…… Is he laughing at me?’

Cedric is a man of integrity, righteousness, virtuosity, and morality…… A man who will never deviate from his principles.

He clearly put on that smile and laughed at her. He was clearly criticizing her internally.

‘Why is that? Why?’

Camilla knows Cedric was uncomfortable with her asking him to marry his brother’s wife because it was against Western culture.

Cedric, on the other hand, never accused her of being unqualified to be referred to as Selina’s parents.

Just since when?’

Everything was a mess. Something is definitely going wrong.

Camilla believed that all of her plans were flawless, but she was unable to move forward.

The roads have been cleared, and the sturdy wheels are still there.

‘What the hell is going on?’

Camilla decided to investigate this ominous premonition in her head.

“……Ruben! Ruben!”

‘I never thought that Cedric would really call the funeral house.’

I was just asking him to make such a fuss.

Cedric, on the other hand, even ordered the elders of the monastery to put on a live show.

Nevertheless, Camilla was no longer able to plead Penny’s guilt.

Cedric’s negotiations with Camilla appear to have ended in silence.

On the contrary, Camilla had asked Valhail to abduct Penny’s younger sisters, order the destruction of Penny’s brewery, or carry out other shady revenge.

But nothing has been accomplished.

‘Nothing will go her way any longer.’

I’ve already requested that Cedric widen and move Penny’s brewery somewhere secure.

It was a place that Camilla would never be able to get to.

In the end, Camilla, who was annoyed when she couldn’t do anything, came to me in the middle of the night, avoiding everyone’s eyes, as expected.

“Selina, it’s your mother.”

I was only wearing a very thin dress that was short enough to show my underwear, making it appear as if I had just fallen asleep.

“May I come in?”

“Ye-yes……”

Click, click.

Because her body had not yet fully recovered, Camilla was using a cane.

Camilla calmly passed me as Valhail trailed behind.

He had never before entered my bedroom through the door.

I sensed what would happen to us tonight as soon as he reached out to me and hurried away.

“Selina, where is Penny?”

Looking around my quiet bedroom, Camilla asked.

“I-I-I s-sent her…… o-o-out of the c-castle.”

“You sent that kid out? You alone?”

Selina is seriously dependent on Penny so there was no way that she could send her out on her own.

“A-a-after being struck b-b-by an ash tree… S-s-she said that it was s-s-so excruciatingly painful t-t-that she passed out. S-s-so, her father came a-a-and absconded with her.

“Hmm.”

Camilla, who sat familiarly on the sofa, stood up and asked me a question, as if she were interrogating me.

“I heard the filthy brewery was cleaned up?”

“U-u-uncle…… h-he bring it to the b-b-barbarian village.”

“Ha.”

Cedric relocated several village businesses in order to help the barbarians in settling in the territory.

One of them was Penny’s Brewery. Whatever else, barbarians couldn’t help but welcome the brewery that produces alcohol.

Camilla, who was rubbing her irritated brow, flailed her cane at me.

“Looking up at you hurts my neck.”

It was a sign for me to get down on my knees.

If it had been Selina, she would have kneeled down as soon as she saw Camilla, who had visited her late at night, so I gently kneeled down.

“My good daughter.”

“……”
