My Villain Fiancée is Interfering With My Flowery Path - Chapter 13

Chapter 13

“Suddenly? To me?”

What did the princess do?

After Malone’s laughter had barely solved the problem, Thisbe hurriedly terminated the communication and went outside.

It was not such a secret that Malone giggled until the communication was cut off.

When she opened the door with the communication device she had put down, the noisy air outside was conveyed to her.

She thought his voice sounded exceptionally loud, but as expected, there seemed to be a disturbance in the hall on the first floor.

‘I think the loud noise earlier was made when my grandfather threw that man out.’

She saw a man standing awkwardly and Duke Callist standing tall like a giant statue in front of him.

As he had lived as a soldier all his life, the size of Duke Callist was considerable, so the man in front of him looked rather dwarfed.

“Lord, you have to listen to me. Does the princess help or harm your family? You know it well, right?”

“Yesterday, maggots came and said the same thing, and now you’re coming and turning my stomach upside down. Do you know how many times I repeat this?”

“This is all for the family. Lord, if you don’t hurry to bring Estelle, no, Saint, into the family register, there is a possibility that other families will not let it go!”

That man was right.

As long as the temple had announced it, Estelle was a good prey for everyone.

However, the Callist is holding out so hard that he can’t open his mouth hastily right now.

If Estelle was not protected by Callist after this month or so of the war of wits, other families would not let it go.

Then it’s like losing the strongest political say to the family.

‘That’s why he’s considered an elder and a vassal, he turns on his eyes and asks my grandfather to bring in an Estelle.’

The problem is that the Duke of Callist is somewhat being stubborn right now.

This was never good news for Thisbe, who was planning to escape using being abandoned by the family as an excuse.

Because she can’t seek asylum if there is only one successor to the family of Callist!

So she jumped out right away, but the situation seemed more serious than she thought.

‘I think I need to go down and mediate the situation…’

Why is her grandfather being so stubborn when he doesn’t care even about her?

Thisbe hid herself on the railing of the stairs and looked down.

When the man who is supposed to be a vassal finished his plea, Duke Callist frowned and opened his mouth with a unique threatening voice.

“I think you misunderstood something. I didn’t say I won’t protect her. I said I would sponsor Iller according to her origin because she was from Callist’s branch family.”

“Lord, what kind of protection is that? What’s the use of such a protection? You know that in order to protect the saint in the name of a Callist, it is best to register her as an adopted daughter.”

Well, that’s right. Thisbe agreed with the man.

In the end, protecting the saint is for political purposes. It was best to let her enter.

‘Of course, in other words, they’ll have to abandon me.’

Anyway, from the perspective of the family, it was right. It was best for the family.

However, Duke Calist seemed to have a different idea.

Instead of raising his voice as he did a while ago, he looked at the vassal with a rather complex look and opened his mouth with a dry face.

“Count Gillette, at the best you can say, isn’t there Thisbe?”

And that left a little shock to Thisbe, who was secretly listening.

Perhaps she was not the only one who was shocked, but the vassal also lost words for a moment with a surprised look and barely answered.

“Does enetering the saint in the register has anything to do with the princess?”

“If you’re asking because you really don’t know, you don’t deserve to be a member of the Callist family.”

These words are a bit…

It contained an explicit threat.

He bowed his head saying sorry in a hurry.

“But I don’t think it’s going to be a big problem. The fact that the saint is admitted does not mean that the princess is expelled.”

“It’s only been a month since we found out that Thisbe isn’t the saint after living her whole life being treated as the child of the oracle. A month. Can’t you think about how she feels right now?”

The voice of Duke Callist asking like that was rather like a dagger.

“Nevertheless, isn’t she even being accused of murder? In this situation, you want to register Young Lady Estelle to the family?”

“But, lord, that’s why we have to put Lady Estelle to the family register. Furthermore, the possibility that the allegations are true…”

Clink!

A piece of glass, which was a vase right next to them, rolled around the floor. It was because Duke Callist’s cane cut through the air.

“If you say such a thing one more time, it will be your head, not a vase.”

“Duke, I made a mistake.”

“I’m glad that Thisbe’s not in the mansion right now. If she had heard it, Count Gillette, you would have been dismissed immediately.”

‘Unfortunately, we should dismiss Count Gillette right away, Grandpa.’

Thisbe felt more mixed up than before, so she looked down and thought.

‘That’s why the maid asked me to go out earlier.’

About an hour ago, the maid strangely strongly recommended Thisbe to go out.

– How about going to the city for a bit, miss? I heard there’s a nice café.

– I don’t have much plans today. I am also banned from going out.

– The master was also worried that the lady was spending too much time in the room, so he said he would allow you to go out this time.

Although she was tempted for a while, she refused because Thisbe’s original plan was to read the magic book this afternoon.

‘I thought my maid was trying to go out of town as an excuse, so I gave her money and sent her out.’

She can’t believe it was her grandfather’s order.

Of course, if the maid was asked by Duke Callist to send out Thisbe with this intention, she would have led Thisbe somehow.

Perhaps Duke Callist only said, “I’m worried that Thisbe is only in the room, so take her to the city.”

So she would have been so excited when she gave her some gold coins and left her alone.

‘Besides, I’ve been locked up in my room without anyone calling me since then.’

As Duke Callist, who didn’t hear anything, he must have thought that Thisbe was out.

Thisbe’s indifferent gaze headed down the stairs.

A blunt grandfather who had never spoken to her affectionately, and Count Gillette, who exclaimed to kick her out.

‘Is it strange to say that the Count feels more familiar?’

However, she had never thought that Duke Callist would think that way.

It’s uncomfortable even if it comes out like this now.

Rather, it was easier for Count Gillette to kick her out according to the original novel.

The feeling that one side of her chest felt like it was burning at Duke Callist’s words was just an illusion.

‘By the way, what should I do with this situation?’

If grandfather is so stubborn, her plan to escape will be disrupted.

‘…Hmm?’

Something caught her eyes as she got up.

An unfamiliar carriage presumed to have been driven by Count Gillette.

Then, she saw a woman with pink hair sitting in it.

She could tell who the woman is with pink hair without having to think deeply.

Estelle Iller. The heroine of this world.

‘Come to think of it, Count Gillette wasn’t just a vassal.’

Thisbe relived her forgotten memory.

Count Gillette was a family member of Estelle’s maternal family, more directly related to Estelle.

So when Estelle, a rural noble, came to the capital for her debut, she asked Count Gillette for a while.

‘Count Gillette wanted to raise his credit by putting Estelle in the Callist.’

He didn’t have much honor and wealth anyway, so even if he entered Estelle, he couldn’t have much influence.

In the first place, he was also the retainer of the Callist who was loyal to the family.

It would have been more beneficial for him than anything else to raise the honor of Callist.

Estelle brought by Count Gillette and Count Gillette, who suddenly visited the Duke of Callist.

‘And after the temple announced Estelle as the child of the oracle.’

If she thinks about the situation, she will get one result.

‘This… It was the first day that Estelle visited Callist, right?’

That’s right, this case is the content of the original.
