I Won’t Pick Up The Trash I Threw Away Again - Chapter 120

There were bulging tendons around his neck as he kept screaming. His flushed face showed how furious he was.

Because of this, no one thought it would be easy to stop Philen.

It was the same for me too.

Only after throwing more than half of what was on the table did Philen calm down.

“Ce, cily.”

In return, he clenched his jaw and glared at Cecily. Cecily unknowingly took a step back and fell to the floor because of his flesh-piercing murderous look.

Philen’s eyes looking at Cecily were terrifying. If he could kill people with his eyes, he would have killed Cecily over and over again.

“How dare you fool me.”

“Ah, ah, NO!”

She’s still lying even though the situation already turned out like this? Cecily wasn’t normal either.

“I, I didn’t fool you! I really did have your child!”

Cecily said pitifully, with tears in her eyes.

“Phil, think about that night. You held me…! I’ve been treating you kindly, how can you be deceived by that woman’s lies and doubt me? Why…!”

The truth had been revealed up to this point, and she was going to stick with it until the end?

Very ugly. It couldn’t even be covered by her beautiful appearance.

As she’s the woman Philen loved, I thought he might be shaken by that absurd remark, but I was wrong.

“Shut that mouth!”

Philen wasn’t shaken at all. Rather, he got angrier and threw what he could get at Cecily.

“KYAKK!”

CRASH!

The glass, which barely hit Cecily, hit the wall and shattered.

Perhaps shocked by the fact that Philen threw something at her, Cecily was speechless and only could open and close her mouth.

“I’m loving you? What words that aren’t even funny!”

Philen poured out abusive words toward Cecily.

“I cared for you purely because you had my child!”

Cecily’s eyes shook violently as if she couldn’t believe what Philen was saying.

In the meantime, Philen’s verbal abuse continued.

“Know your circumstances, Cecily! Did you think I, the Duke of the Great Empire, would be serious to a princess of a fallen kingdom? You don’t know your own circumstances.”

“Phi, Phil…”

“I never promised you anything other than the child’s future.”

Maybe that statement was sincere because after bringing Cecily in, he still continued to marry me.

Philen, who was looking at Cecily in despair with his cold eyes, shouted.

“Take them to the dungeon right now! Those who dare to fool me, the Duke, will be severely punished!”

The servants, who were in a confused state, came to Cecily, Mavel, and Ellie to carry out Philen’s orders.

Mavel and Ellie were taken away obediently, but not Cecily.

“LET ME GO! How dare you guys touch me? LET ME GO RIGHT NOW?!”

She was struggling uglily as if she still wouldn’t give up.

It didn’t matter if Cecily was dragged out like this, but there was still more to be revealed.

“Wait. That’s not the only thing she’s guilty of.”

After calling the servants, I took a glass of champagne and approached Cecily.

“Drink.”

Then, held out the glass to her.

“This is the champagne you gave me as a gift. Drink it.”

Cecily’s eyes shook.

I kindly brought the glass of champagne to her mouth, but Cecily kept her mouth shut and didn’t drink a drop.

“What’s wrong? It’s the champagne you gave me, so why don’t you drink it?”

“…”

“Ah, did you perhaps do something to this champagne?”

“N, NO!”

Cecily immediately denied it because if she stayed still, she would admit her guilt.

“I did nothing!”

“Then drink it.”

Cecily shut her mouth again.

“You can’t drink it, right?”

I said to Cecily with a smile.

“Because you poisoned this champagne.”

“Poison?!”

Small exclamations erupted from the surroundings. I could feel Philen staring fiercely from behind.

“A crime has been added.”

I released the champagne glass I was holding.

“The crime of trying to poison me and the Duke.”

The champagne glass fell to the floor and shattered with a sharp sound.

After that, I raised my hand high.

PLAK-

“…!”

I slapped her as hard as she did when I returned to the Duke of Williot.

Cecily’s white cheek reddened, and her head turned helplessly.

“This is the price for hitting me before.”

“You…!”

Cecily was furious, but I didn’t care and slapped her again.

“This is the price for playing with me.”

Everyone who stood still looked at me in surprise, but no one came to stop me. Even Philen remained still.

“Let me go, LET ME GO!”

Rather, the servants holding Cecily actively helped me.

Thanks to them holding her tightly, I was able to vent my anger the way I wanted, no matter how hard Cecily tried.

Anyway, this was the last one.

“And this.”

This time, instead of simply hitting her cheek with my palm, I hit Cecily’s cheek with my fist.

“ARGHH!”

“…it’s revenge for Misa.”

My fist tingled, but this was nothing if I thought of Misa, who was dead.

It wasn’t even enough for me to be completely relieved, but it was the best I could do right now.

Cecily was dragged out, and a heavy silence filled the dining room.

Philen put his hand on his head with a very complicated expression. He was standing with his other hand on the table, not having the strength to stand on his two legs.

Of course.

The things he believed collapsed overnight, so there was no way he would be okay.

As much as he desperately wanted a child, he would be more vain, disappointed, and angry.

But I had no intention of comforting him. Because it was all something he brought upon himself. He was just reaping the seeds he had sown.

“Leila.”

As I was about to leave the dining room, Philen called me.

I tried to ignore him and just go, but I couldn’t because Philen grabbed my arm.

Reluctantly, I looked back at him.

Philen looked at me with a very complicated face. His eyes shook with all kinds of emotions, including rage and frustration. He hesitated for a while, then slowly opened his mouth.

“I’m… sorry.”

“For what?”

It was a cold voice even to me. Philen was startled and spoke cautiously.

“Everything. I’m sorry for not believing you and treating you harshly. Also, for trusting a woman like that.”

“Back then you thought I was the culprit, and now you believe me?”

It was only natural when such clear evidence came out, but it was still funny.

They said the human heart is deceitful, and that statement was just right.

The previous Duke Williot wasn’t like this though, but why was his bloodline, Philen, like this?

“Leila, as you know, everything was so clearly pointing out that you were the culprit. So I had no choice but to believe you were the culprit.”

“His Majesty knows the same thing, but he believed I wasn’t the culprit. He was sure I was framed.”

Philen’s expression crumbled. His hand gripped my arm with a lot of strength.

“Are you comparing me to that man now?”

Is that the part where he gets angry? And that man?

“It’s not that man, it’s His Majesty the Emperor. Be careful of your words.”

“You keep taking his side, huh?”

“We can’t seem to communicate.”

It was a fact I was familiar with, but when I realized it again, I sighed.

“Please let me go.”

“Leila.”

“I told you to let me go. And stop calling me Leila. I am no longer your fiancée.”

When I glared fiercely and said it in a sharp voice, Philen looked at me in shock.

“…you’ve changed a lot, huh? You weren’t like this in the past…”

“I’m so grateful that you made me this way.”

I shook off Philen’s hand, left the dining room, and ordered Ness.

“Ness, summoned all the servants who are free to my room right now.”

“Yes? All of them?”

“Yeah.”

Because from now on, I was going to carry out my last plan.

After a while, Ness summoned the servants, and I pointed to my room.

“Take everything in my room to the backyard.”

“Yes? Everything?”

“Yeah, everything. Don’t leave out the furniture, take everything.”

The servants were bewildered, but they did what I told them to do.

About an hour later, the room was empty and things piled up like a mountain in the backyard.

“Now, bring plenty of water baskets.”

It didn’t take long to get water because there was a well right behind.

As the water baskets piled up as much as I wanted, I took a deep breath, exhaled, and took out the flint I had kept privately.

Now, it’s really over.

It’s really over after this.

I lit the flint and flames sparked from it.

Ness widened her eyes as she looked at me.

“Don’t tell me, My Lady…”

Before Ness could finish speaking, I threw the flint toward the mountain.

BUZZ-

“KYAKK!”

“ARGHH!”

When the flames erupted, the servants were terrified and retreated.

On the other hand, I stood still and stared at the things that were getting burned. Most of them were wood and fabric, so the fire spread quickly. Soon everything started to burn to black.

“My Lady, what is…!”

Ness screamed in horror.

“My Lady!”

The other servants also called me in surprise, but I didn’t respond. I just looked at the flame with its bright red tongue.

“What are you doing?!”

Just as the flames engulfed most of the objects, I heard Philen’s fierce voice from behind.

“Extinguish the fire right now. RIGHT NOW!”

At Philen’s shout, the servants who had been standing absent-mindedly hurriedly moved. They poured the already prepared water over the fire.

The fire quickly died down. Pieces of cloth and wood that had not yet burned out appeared in a darkened state.

Ah, it could have done a little more though.

I felt it was a pity.

“What are you doing, Leila?”

Philen, who hurriedly approached me, grabbed my shoulder, and forced me to turn around.

“Are you going to burn the whole house down because you’re angry?!”

“No way. If I had intended to, I would have set the house on fire, not the goods.”

“LEILA!”

“The Duke seems to be unable to cut off any of his lingering feelings for me, so I will cut it off firmly this time.”

That’s why I burned everything in my room.

If I told him to throw them away, he would definitely put them in the storage again instead of throwing them away.

The fact that Philen was keeping my things in good condition, I hated it horribly. So I wanted to take this opportunity to cut off all the remaining links with him.

As if my words were so shocking, Philen opened his eyes wide and opened his mouth like a carp.

I pushed Philen, who was like that, slightly, stepped back a few steps, and asked at a distance.

“Do you remember the bet you made with me before, Duke?”

“The… bet?”

Judging by his answer, fortunately, he seemed to still remember.

“Yes. You promised to grant my wish if I passed the official test.”

“…”

“I want to use that wish here.”

It was a wish that was notarized, so even if he didn’t like it, he had no choice but to grant it.

If I had known I would use it for this, I would have used it sooner. Because I didn’t use it for no reason, only strange things happened.

“Duke Philen Williot.”

I looked straight at Philen, who was looking at me with a face that looked like he was about to collapse.

“Please disappear from my life completely.”
