Looking for the Villainess Who Spent the First Night - Chapter 2

It was the moment when he took off his mask and revealed his face.

“uh?”

Dark black hair like Goyo, a straight nose with vivid lines, and fair skin as white as the first snow.

‘I knew it originally.’

As I brushed the bangs that spilled over my forehead roughly, the auburn eyes shone sharply.

‘He’s breathtakingly handsome.’

No, wait.

why do you know this face

At the same time, a chill was reflexively felt.

‘Oh, my God.’

I knew these eyes all too well.

Why haven’t you noticed until now!

This man is Gerlac Cygnus!

Leonie’s lover, a man who would give his all for her.

The very bloodless, tearless cruel man who put me on the gallows for her peace.

The same man who avoided and avoided again to survive.

The male protagonist of 『Leonie the Blue Sky』!

‘Wow, aren’t you working on my hair?’

Yes, it’s been a long time since you stopped at the pour-drinking barrel.

In fact, drinking too much was too much, but it was also because I had never met him up close.

In the past nineteen lives, the only time I’ve seen the Grand Duke was on the scaffold, when he was giving up on everything.

In the middle of it, I was distracted by the white and beautiful face, and I thought I was really pitiful.

‘No, wait. Why is Archduke Cygnus here? Did you meet Leonie?’

Contrary to my confused mind, I couldn’t utter a word.

It’s like someone pouring wax over your head.

“Why did you suddenly become quiet after talking so well like a parrot?”

Zerlac Cygnus tilted his head to one side and asked me.

But now is not the time to answer him.

“Ji, please forgive the excessive rudeness I have committed so far, Your Highness the Grand Duke.”

It’s not that I’m suddenly trying to cosplay Yojo Lady.

However, I know that his temper is very eccentric, and I have already regressed several times, so I am saying to be careful.

Then, Jerlac tilted his head.

“I’m seeing you for the first time, how do you know me?”

“Ah, so.”

Oh right.

The Archduke and I never met properly.

No wonder he doesn’t know me.

What do we do? What should I answer?

“There is no one in Muten who does not know His Highness the Archduke.”

It was moderately invasive, but it was a strange answer even when I thought about it.

In fact, for some reason, Gerlac lived with his cousin and returned to Mütten to receive a title after his father’s death.

“Hey, think of it as a parrot’s intelligence.”

I laughed and added, and Zerlac chuckled.

he laughed.

Wow, thank you so much for not asking further and just smiling.

Taking advantage of the relaxed atmosphere, I quietly raised my hand as if asking a teacher.

The posture is a student who has already been brought to the office.

“Can I ask you just one question?”

“However much.”

I swallowed a dry spit and evened out my breath.

When I opened my mouth again, Xerlac leaned forward slightly.

It’s like they’re expecting something interesting to come out.

This is the expression of watching monkeys at the zoo.

“Why are you here?”

Hello, Archduke. It’s not the time for you to be here.

You should have been walking in the garden when Leonie went out of the ballroom.

And why are you here when you have to meet and fall in love with Leonie Almaz!

“What?”

“No, I was curious about why you were here.”

Jerlac slowly closed and opened his large, deep eyes once.

“Is it strange that I am in my house?”

“… … .”

“Isn’t it strange that you are at my house?”

This man seems to be kind, but subtly hits the bone.

Of course, I’m really sorry about that.

But I have to see Leonie right now, and I’m worried that things will go wrong.

If I can’t meet Leonie today, what will the story be like?

At that moment, another person passed by.

‘Wait, then where’s my fiancé?

While Leonie falls in love with the male lead outside the ballroom, I also meet my fiancé, Nathan, at the ballroom.

Lady Liberata is a celestial beauty, an angel, where are her wings! Oh my, I see a feather here, the man who made a good noise in his mouth and eventually proposed to Leonie.

I slightly raised my head and looked at Zerlac, but I decided to keep my mouth shut for now because I thought that if I asked him where Nathan was, nothing good would come back.

Yeah, he’s done it once.

There are more important things than that.

“I’m sorry. I think I made a really big mistake. That’s why.”

I don’t care if I live a random life, but I don’t want Leonie’s life to be disrupted.

The good, pitiful woman must meet the male protagonist.

because she did nothing wrong

I would have met someone I love if I hadn’t been acting useless today.

When I thought of Leonie’s always friendly smile, I became unbearably depressed.

“What time is it now? Is it still night?”

“Why?”

“Because the Archduke must meet someone right now.”

“What?”

“I know I sound strange. But there is someone the Grand Duke must meet today.”

Ah, how can I explain it to make it sound a little more plausible?

I will only enjoy my life in moderation, so I hope you two have a pretty love.

And I don’t want to destroy the original.

They say a blonde beauty suits a black-haired grand duke.

“You really are.”

“… … .”

“I don’t even know.”

“yes?”

“You seem so timid that you’re afraid to die from a drunken mistake, but now that you’re talking about it, you don’t seem to have any fear at all.”

Archduke Cygnus spat out vague words.

“What if I say no?”

He covered my mouth.

But I am not going to give up here.

Why is this? I am a woman who has died nineteen times.

“Aren’t you curious who I am talking about?”

Since ancient times, there is a modern theory that humans are curious creatures.

I will stimulate his curiosity and make him run out of the room.

“no.”

“… … .”

“I’m not curious.”

Modern theories don’t work for this medieval handsome man.

‘If you see that they are resolutely cutting it, let’s retreat today.’

I don’t think he’ll move even if I say this, and it’s funny how he suddenly sets out to find Leonie Almaz.

Go back in a hurry!

It was time to breathe a deep sigh, hoping that this modern theory would work to some extent.

Jerlac, who had been staring at my face for a while, smiled and said,

“I just want to play with you here. Liberata Bernadette.”

Reflexively, I gripped the blanket tightly.

Like he said, he had been talking like a parrot until now, but his throat was blocked and he couldn’t say a word.

Because his gaze was so tenacious, because his gaze was so coy, I felt the booze that had dripped down to my toes slowly rise.

“I want to hear more of your story.”

He smelled very sensual.

The face seen up close was also so perfect that it was difficult to describe.

“My story?”

Xerlac still couldn’t take his eyes off me with his eyes full of curiosity.

Unfortunately, I didn’t have much to say to Verlac.

Because I was just a character created to make Yeoju stand out.

The stomach was full of envy and jealousy, and it was a woman who was tightly united with a discordant inferiority complex.

No, it had to be that kind of woman.

The only memories of my past life that I can tell him are running away to avoid death and dying in various ways.

What more can I say here?

“I am only close with the daughter of the Countess of Almaz… … Just because she is the daughter of an ordinary marquis.”

It was when I said there.

Zerlac wrinkled his straight, beautiful face as if he didn’t like my answer.

“That is a strange answer.”

“… … .”

“Usually, when I bring up a story about myself, I don’t start by saying that I am a friend of the people around me.”

Of course it is, but isn’t Leonie a special case?

Strangely enough, however, those words of Gerlac touched a deep place in my heart.

It’s not like I wasn’t very dissatisfied with living a life that wasn’t the main character.

I just wanted to live a normal and quiet life.

“I don’t really know who I am.”

It was an impulsive word.

But somehow I couldn’t stop.

“What kind of person are you and why do you live like this? Is there a reason to live? Why are you here? This is not where I live.”

I should have stopped right now.

“Everything is confusing and scary right now.”

In the end, I even made this emotional confession.

Maybe it was because of the atmosphere where I felt like I had to say something.

Could drinking too much be the problem?

Or was it because of his eyes that never took his eyes off me.

The frame of being a villainess always choked me.

Even if you don’t do anything bad, the same result that comes back every time makes you behave like today.

However, the moment I spit out the word scary, I faced my anxiety that I had been trying to ignore so far.

At that time, Jerlac slowly opened his mouth.

“What makes you so hard?”

“I don’t even know. I’m just afraid of everything.”

The reason I couldn’t speak after that was purely because of Jerlac.

He reached out his big, warm hand and wrapped it around my shoulder.

As soon as it collapses into the arms, both body and mind melt away at the human body temperature that it has not seen in a long time.

I know it shouldn’t be like this, but I didn’t want to leave.

He didn’t say anything, but I could feel that he was comforting me.

It didn’t matter how long I had been with him or what he knew about me.

Just in this dark and comfortable bedroom, there is a woman who is engulfed in inexpressible fear and a man she feels sorry for.

“I don’t think it’s normal. This is me, so.”

Because everything that surrounds me right now is full of unreal things.

It seems like I’m the only one here who isn’t normal.

I’m someone who shouldn’t be here anyway.

I looked up at Zerrac, speechless to the end.

As if it belonged to an animal, what was contained in her mysterious reddish-brown eyes was a very intimidated girl.

I wished he would keep looking at me like this for a moment.

No, you can’t get involved with this guy.

It was when I tried to sneak out of his arms, ignoring the impulsive words.

Jerlac, who wrapped his arms around my shoulders, whispered with his hand tightened to keep me from escaping.

“I feel like kissing the lips that say I’m afraid.”

“… … .”

“Am I normal now?”
