The Female Lead Raised The Villain - Chapter 58

Selfish Mind (7)

Arthur’s smooth movement from everyone’s eyes caught people’s attention.

As soon as Arthur’s hand gently turned and his gaze slightly shook, a man with red eyes passed by the silver hair staring at her.

“It’s that person. As expected, he came out.”

She was worried that he wouldn’t come, but he was definitely among the crowd.

She danced with a smile around her mouth and chased him in the crowd the whole time with her eyes.

She has never danced, but it was the same for Mary. However, thanks to Arthur’s good lead, fortunately, it ended safely, without mistakes.

As soon as it was over, she turned her head to find a man. It was difficult to find his appearance because of the crowd.

‘At this rate, I’m going to miss it again.’

She bit her lips in frustration. Today will be an opportunity, but if she misses it, she doesn’t know when she will be able to find him again.

She couldn’t even look around freely in case Arthur noticed her strange behavior.

The song changed along with the applause of the nobles. She came out to Arthur’s side and took a breather.

“You’re a wonderful dancer.”

“I know. I’m glad you didn’t step on my foot.”

She felt nauseous, perhaps because she moved her body after a long time. She was worried that the pain would finally come because she didn’t take the medicine he gave her.

It was just a little disgusting, but she didn’t feel a headache or burning in her heart, so she took a breath again.

‘You have to endure the pain even if you feel it.’

Otherwise, Arthur may notice something strange. There were two days left before she got the medicine from him, so she had to act somehow.

“Speak to the old man, but no alcohol.”

Arthur, who mistook her for looking at champagne, said in a determined tone as he was sitting blankly and lost in thought. She shook her head as if not to worry.

“Why don’t you go outside for a while if you’re tired?”

“… Should I do that? In a little while, something interesting will happen.”

She even announced her engagement for that. She had to see their faces with her own eyes. She will see them kneeling down in front of her. She looked at the stage slowly.

‘How can you all laugh and chat in excitement knowing nothing?’

A smile leaked out of her. Along with embarrassment, she was looking forward to how different the way he treated her would be. She got up from her seat and smiled.

In an elegant figure, she slowly headed to them. With Arthur’s arms folded, he stood in front of them in a more friendly manner than anyone else.

“I’m seeing Your Grace.”

Count Liber of the Drov family, who found her approaching him, hurriedly bowed his head and gave the courtesy.

Soon after, he greeted her with his wife, including the Arman family and the Bartis family.

When she came as if they had promised, they closed their mouths and smiled awkwardly.

Is it possible that only then, unless she is an idiot, she would not know that it is related to her story?

“What do you enjoy talking about?”

“Oh, I was just talking about business these days.”

“Your Highness, you are so beautiful today. I think your face has gotten better since we last saw you.”

Seeing him change the subject, she thought she might be right. They glanced at Arthur and greeted him, trying to hide their shivering expressions.

He was spitting out congratulations with his mouth, but his expression looked the opposite.

“Your Grace, Grand Duke Arthur Douglas, you get along well with the Princess.”

“I think so too. How do you two get along so well?”

Arthur showed a self-help smile at their flattery. Then he giggled and tried to clear his throat and swallowed the sound.

As if he was not satisfied with Arthur’s appearance, the Duke of Hermann of the Arman family narrowed the forehead. But obviously, the Grand Duke was a higher rank than them, plus he was the fiancé of the Princess.

“Your Excellency must be having fun.”

“We’re not close enough to be interested in each other.”

“……We’re asking because we want to enjoy it together.”

“Since you’re engaged, what’s better than that?”

His wife, who was reading the room, slapped him on his side and laughed at him. Even Mary turned her head and looked at Arthur, and then she erased the laughter left on her face.

“Oh, that’s right. Being engaged to the Imperial Princess, I can’t help but smile.”

Lies, his laughter, were obvious ridicule. It would be accurate because there is a great pleasure in what is about to happen, not a smile of happiness.

It was the same for her. Sympathy for them rather than sympathy for Arthur, speculation that he will be abandoned soon, and a sad view that it did not go according to their will.

No one believed in Arthur, who said he was happy by her side, which would not be strange if she died soon. Of course, everyone seemed a little surprised to see her face turning red.

But she knew too well that they didn’t think it would last very long.

Her illness has never been cured. It was a fact that everyone living here could not deny.

Arthur bowed his head and whispered in her ear.

“Tell me when we will stop letting them enjoy it.”

“Let them enjoy it just a little more for now. Today is their last day to smile like that.”

With an innocent smile on her face again, she asked them, pretending not to know.

Since they said they were talking about commerce, she wanted to make it a little embarrassing.

“I’m interested in investing these days. Can you tell me about any business?”

“…you are Princess?”

She was interested in his surprised eyes. Soon after, however, he said that he had a good investment destination to see if something else came to mind.

“Good investment destination. I’m looking forward to it.”
