Looking for the Villainess Who Spent the First Night - Chapter 3
I didn’t even have time to answer.
I think I just nodded at the question a couple of times.
The bright red lips did not wait for my answer.
Zerlac cupped my cheek with both hands and pressed his lips to my desolate lips.
very carefully and slowly.
Something soft and smooth touches the most sensitive skin.
Exciting but unfamiliar pleasure.
It was so stimulating and so addictive that I thought no way in my head, but I couldn’t stop.
I slowly raised my eyelids and looked up at him.
The elegantly curled eyelashes are very alluring.
‘What should I do?’
I could not foresee the consequences of today’s impulsive actions.
As always, I’m just going to leave it to fate.
⚜ ⚜ ⚜
The next morning, I returned home in a carriage with Sir Milen Aurier, Gerlac’s aide-de-camp.
By the time we got home, it started to rain like a hole in the sky.
Because I always looked at the clear sky, the pouring rain felt very awkward.
“I will take you to the entrance of the mansion.”
“Oh, no. If you have an umbrella, please lend me one.”
The aide had a puzzled expression, but there was a reason.
Staying out all night wasn’t enough, so I couldn’t imagine what kind of scolding I would get if I showed up in a carriage.
“But His Highness, the Grand Duke, will escort you safely to the door.”
“Ah, don’t worry. I will climb up very carefully without falling.”
“All right.”
“Please drop me off at the front door over there. Yes, thank you.”
I took my umbrella and got out of the carriage.
“Thank you, Sir Orie.”
“Then I will go away.”
It was the moment when the carriage disappeared, and I was about to walk inside, clutching my umbrella.
I noticed someone crouching to the right of the front door.
what?
It’s too big to be a cat or dog, but is it really a human?
Upon closer inspection, it was clear that the figure was none other than a man wearing a robe covering his head.
A glimpse of her red hair brushed through her black robe, but her face was not clearly visible.
“Oh, my God.”
I hurriedly gave her an umbrella.
“Are you okay?”
“… … .”
“Oh my God, this is a big deal. Where are you?”
Then he lowered his head and spoke in an audible voice.
“You are a kind lady.”
A cracked, damp voice, like an elderly old woman.
Being kind made me feel strange.
This novel is a place where I was frantic to make me into a villain, but kindness?
Anyway, I can’t pretend I don’t know the old woman who is getting wet in the rain on the street.
“I’ll call someone, so please wait here.”
It was when I turned around after holding an umbrella.
“My lady, do you want to leave alive?”
I slowly turned around at the strange voice I heard from behind.
“What do you mean?”
“This is your last chance.”
“yes?”
“Stop going back to your place.”
Then he slowly got up.
“You want to go back to your seat?”
“This is your last chance. If you don’t put the messed up puzzle together within 20 times, misfortune will annihilate the lady and the people around you.”
“What is that?”
“Thanks for the umbrella.”
Then, holding my umbrella, I started walking slowly.
She said nothing but strange things, but I knew intuitively what she was trying to say.
I’m talking about how to get out of the novel.
“Wait!”
You need to listen a little more closely. It was when I urgently called her. Suddenly the front door burst open and her mother came out.
“My God, liberata!”
Oh my god.
“Mother, wait a minute. I still have important things to do!”
“It’s important. Are you doing this because you don’t know what’s important right now?”
“sorry. I’m sorry! So that’s it!”
“Let’s go in. Go in and talk!”
While she was arguing with her mother, the old woman had already disappeared and was nowhere to be seen.
Ha, I should have listened more closely!
“Rive?”
“Yes, mother. Go in.”
I was prepared to be hit on the back, but it was still scary.
It wasn’t enough that the young lady of the marquess drunkenly did bizarre things at the ballroom, and even stayed out all night and came back at dawn!
Since he had done this in a place where rumors mattered, it was clear that there would be an uproar over the road to marriage.
‘Even if I get hit on the back, I have to say something.’
I had prepared how to respond to my parents on the carriage ride back.
Mother, hold on!
My mother’s worries are too advanced.
No one has ever seen me come out of the Grand Duke’s mansion.
It’s true that I played a little too much at the ballroom, but everyone was equally drunk!
Any action that might jump out… … , did not.
At least in my memory.
I mean, walking into the fountain was definitely wrong!
No, someone made the fountain so low, that’s the Archduke’s fountain fault!
“I’m sorry. I was so wrong, mother, father!”
“Rive, what do you mean?”
But my mother asked me back with a somewhat puzzled look.
“I was wrong. What the hell did you do wrong?”
“yes?”
“I heard Archduke Cygnus brought you in. I heard that he carried you up in front of everyone’s eyes.”
“… … .”
“When I received the call last night, I couldn’t believe it, but seeing that Lord Milen personally saw you in the morning, now my mother is relieved. Heaven must have helped!”
“mother?”
I called out to my mother in a twisted voice, but my mother didn’t seem to hear my voice at all.
“Isn’t His Highness the Grand Duke choosing you? Our Libe becomes the Duchess!”
“Mother, what are you saying? that is. You mean the duchess.”
I slowly became afraid of my mother and took a step back.
“What kind of person is the Grand Duke? You haven’t been to Mytten for a while, but everyone agrees that you have a dignified and noble appearance. Come on, talk to me, Libe!”
“I-I don’t know. who you are.”
While trying to avoid her mother’s gaze, I suddenly remembered the face he had seen the night before.
<I feel like kissing you. Am I normal now?>
A watery voice, a full mouth.
The languid gaze, the heat and thrill felt when the two eyes met.
Feelings that are difficult to express continued, and they pursued pleasure in each other’s warmth.
The moment when the precarious soul and body become one.
The face of the man who poured into me and became heated.
And even his smile, dazzlingly beautiful under the newly rising sun this morning.
“Libe, aren’t you sick?”
“yes?”
“You seem to have a fever. Come and see.”
“Oh, no. mother.”
I took a few steps back and erased the afterimages of the previous night that filled my head.
This feeling right now is so harmful and dangerous to my body… … !
I didn’t even have time to refuse, I lay down next to him and greeted the morning, but I was still confused.
He is the main character in this novel.
He’s supposed to be with the beautiful blonde Leonie.
Even I’m a villain
Maybe my childish behavior ruined everything.
It’s true that I wanted to escape from my destiny, but I didn’t want it to flow this way.
I just wanted to change my destiny.
I just didn’t want to live and die as this damn wicked woman again and again.
“Libbe, are you really okay?”
“yes I’m okay.”
My mother, who had been glancing at me with narrow eyes, quickly changed her face and asked a question.
“Then, did you promise to meet the Grand Duke again next time?”
“yes? A promise?”
“Didn’t the two of you talk intimately?”
“No, no. Are you brother-in-law? haha! There was no such thing, Mother.”
“No?”
My mother looked at me with a very disappointed face.
Of course, half lies and half truths.
When I woke up in the morning, I tried to sneak out of the mansion as best I could. (even though I know it’s impossible)
<A parrot last night, and a stray cat in the morning?>
… … He gave me new clothes and gave me a hangover cure juice.
After being caught like that, he was treated generously to breakfast, and then he rode back in the Cygnus family’s carriage.
During the meal, Zerlac talked about this and that, but he had a hangover and kept thinking that today was the last time with the Cygnus family.
“Yes, I just enjoyed the prom too much yesterday. That’s why he helped me.”
“Is that really all there is?”
“Sure, all you did was help me when I almost collapsed at the banquet hall.”
When I turned my head with an awkward haha smile, my mother smacked her lips with a sad expression on her face.
“okay?”
“Yes, ha ha ha… … .”
My mother’s eyes were full of anticipation, but I had no intention of saying anything about what had happened the night before.
‘Looking at my mother’s reaction, I can never, never say that.’
I moved away from my mother and became attached to my father.
However, the father’s expression was also not very different from that of the mother.
He didn’t make a fuss like a decent man, but somehow his face was flushed.
‘Why are my father’s nostrils so big? What the hell is everyone expecting!’
I’m going crazy with the burden!
“Oh, my lady.”
At that time, Eclat came over from the kitchen with a timid face as she wiped her hands on her apron. Then, like a robot, she began to recite prepared remarks.
“My lady, I’ll prepare warm water and new clothes right away.”
I said it quickly, thinking that she was right.
“Mom, I am so tired. I’ll go up and rest.”
“Yes, yes, if you think of anything after a good rest, please let me know?”
