My Villain Fiancée is Interfering With My Flowery Path - Chapter 4

Chapter 4

After realizing the fate that would befall her, Thisbe had only one conclusion.

There is no answer here. Let’s run away!

Someone may ask if it’s too extreme to think of running away first without even trying to confront it. But why should I try just because she was Thisbe? This was the best solution with the best outcome after considering her reality in its own way.

First of all, this book was too harsh for the evil woman – that is, Thisbe.

An example would be her current situation. When Estelle’s ability was revealed in the book, Thisbe was so embarrassed that she tried to defend herself somehow.

However, this time, Thisbe gracefully thanked Estelle and handed her the Saintess title. She can’t avoid anything else, but at least she could avoid the stigma of being a liar.

‘I thought that would make the situation better.’

But what’s the result?

Despite such efforts, she was rejected from all social gatherings. It’s not unfair if it’s just that. There are so many people who insulted her that there isn’t enough dates to kill them all in a week. Maybe it was a matter of course. The whole empire has long mistaken Thisbe as a saint.

And what people usually do when they don’t want to admit their misjudgment is to blame others.

Because of that, there comes the second reason.

The Callist family will soon turn its back on Thisbe.

Not only will the successor title be taken away, but there will also be talks about hurrying to marry off Thisbe, who has become a stain on the name of Callist family.

“Now that it’s like this, it’s clear…”

Of course, if Thisbe obediently follows the flow of events, she will not be executed like in the original.

However, if the situation remains like this, there was a clear future in which all social activities would be deprived.

‘There’s nothing you can do but be stuck at home like this.’

The social community will be reluctant to her, and because her face is known everywhere, she will have to live with gossips related to the saint everywhere she goes.

It would be natural that if Thisbe is forced to stay at home like this, all the efforts she has endured to growing up will become useless.

No matter how much she doesn’t care about Thisbe’s image, what’s the reason for her to deal with her reputation?

It’s not like Thisbe interpreted the oracle, and if they don’t treat her as a saint, she wouldn’t stab him to death.

In addition

“Sor did not do anything wrong.”

Sor is a responsible and good person.

So, he would have tried to take responsibility for Thisbe, whom everyone pointed fingers at.

But why would Sor have to do that?

In the first place, Soar’s engagement with Thisbe was only decided elders of Duke of Salvador.

There seemed to be too much for Sor to handle just because he couldn’t turn a blind eye to Thisbe because of his good personality.

She didn’t want to leave Sore with all the behind-the-scenes work.

So, Thisbe planned to run away.

It is a place where she can user her abilities to her heart’s content and live a free life.

‘Sage of the Magic Kingdom.’

A country that is closer to a huge city rather than a country located between the three major empires on the continent.

A place famous for accepting only a few who can wield magic as part of the country, and never accepting anyone else.

Thisbe’s refuge would be that place.

In the novel, no one believed her, but Thisbe really knew how to use divine power.

To be precise, magic… Both divine power and magical powers have the same roots since they both use mana. Depending on the nature of Mana, it move according to the owner’s will or are used according to magic techniques.

However, people who can use mana are very few, due to this, the general public on this continent had little to no knowledge of magic or divine power.

There is information about the divine power in the temple, but the temple hides the information so securely that it is difficult to find out unless you are an official. In the end, Thisbe doesn’t know anything, therefore she believed that the divine power that she manifested by accident was because she is a saint.

“So when she found out that she wasn’t the saintess, she was even more in denial.”

But there was also something to be gained thanks to it.

Thisbe’s original ability is the ability to use magical powers according to magic, but she misunderstood her own ability as divine power and secretly read books about divine power and went through constant self-education.

In the end, Thisbe learned how to use magical powers like divine power without magic.

Although This Be in her book only uses this ability to harass Estelle, she eventually doesn’t even know her true abilities and she dies, but she isn’t who she is now.

Thisbe, who had been honing her magical powers according to the contents of the book, knew what kind of power she had now and how valuable it was.

‘If you have this kind of ability, you will be welcomed by Sage with open arms.’

In addition, all those who enter Sage were cut off from the world after that, so they have to give up all their existing positions and relationships.

Where else could this be a good condition for Thisbe, who is being stoned by everyone in the Empire and is about to be expelled from her family!

Just by standing still, she could enter the Sage.

No, she believes so.

Thisbe had never even thought that she would be faced with a situation where she would not be able to meet the one condition for entering the Sage.

The final clause to get into the Sage.

Anyone who seeks refuge must be free of criminal charges!

“At the time, I thought it was fine if I didn’t do it…”

I wondered if I would have imagined that I would be faced with a situation where people who insulted me were dying as a one by one.

“Now that I think about it, it’s unfair.”

Feeling down at the end of the recollection, Thisbe quickly turned her gaze to Soa’s face.

Sore’s seemingly harmless face played a very important role in governing Thisbe’s inner peace today.

But is it because of his mood that his harmless face seems to be a little unstable?

As he slowly overlapped his hands over Thisbe’s that is wrapped around his cheeks, he opened his mouth.

“Are you going to catch the culprit?””

Saying that, Sor’s eyebrows rose slightly. This was the pitiful expression of Sor, whom Thisbe is weak the most.

What the hell is Sore worried about, making such a pitiful face?

The doubt was quickly resolved. Sor hesitated, as he lowered his gaze, and continued speaking.

“If there is a criminal, it may be really dangerous to catch him.”

“Is that why you’re worried, Sor?””

“I… dare to. Yes, that’s right.”

Sore has his eyes lowered the whole time, unable to even meet Thisbe’s gaze.

Thanks to this, Thisbe slowly raised the corners of her lips as she watched the golden eyelashes adorning his eyelids glisten like shards of glass in the afternoon sunlight.

‘As expected, you’re a nice person.’

He’s worried that she’ll get hurt trying to catch the culprit.

Of course, it’s true that Thisbe does not seem to very capable, but still.

“I’m pretty good at swordsmanship too, Sor.”

“No one plans an injury.”

“And there are many people who can help me. Since I’m a part of the Callist family.”

“I don’t think they’re all on your side, you said it yourself, just in our last meeting.”

Did I say that? Teeth raised the corners of her mouth that she couldn’t hold back.

She thought he wouldn’t remember because he usually listens silently without speaking.

“Surprisingly, you have a good memory.”

Well, when I think about it, Sor tend to remember Thisbe’s words well. At times like this, it’s good to make excuses. Thisbe is agonizing over it, but unlike a while ago, Sour, who made a slight frown, brought it up first.

“Maybe it’s really a coincidence that they died.”

“A situation where people who insulted me are dying one after another every day?”

“······I made a mistake.”

“If they die once a week, I wouldn’t be so sure, but if they keep dying every day, I can’t help but be suspicious.”

“I see…”

Sor’s eyes twinkled for some reason, but Thisbe did not even notice because she turned her eyes to the newspaper.

She continued, sweeping the headlines of the newspaper with a clammy hand.

“So, I can’t put this newspaper down and curse at it.”

“You’re too kind.”

“It’s not like that, I actually want this newspaper company here to go bankrupt.”

Thisbe crumpled the newspaper and threw it to the floor, then looked up again at Sor.

Unlike a while ago, Sor has a subtle smile on his face.

“Even so, they said the newspaper company has a lot of debt. It seemed like it would go bankrupt if it’s left alone.”

“Really?”

“Yes. They said it wouldn’t be surprising to hear that it falls into ruin after a few days.” The face of Sor, who smiled affectionately while saying that, looked very refreshing.
