The Villainess is Raising the Male Protagonist - Chapter 21

“Ah, I’m so worried.”

She rolled her eyes, frowning as if she was worried. With one hand, she tapped the chair and stared at Gray with a smile.

“Did you change your mind about me? I’m even ready to give everything for the Princess. If you come to such a place now…….”

“Stop it, because you talk like that, so you look sloppy. Making it unseemly.”

She raised her hand to stop Gray from speaking, and he trembled as if he hated it. Carl looked at Gray with slightly sharp eyes.

That’s weird, Carl used to like Gray.

She tried to bring it up, but she turned her head and looked at Carl. As a result, Carl knelt to meet her eyes and whispered to the point where only she could hear him.

Ah, that was it. Gray, this is what you had done to Mary.

Upon hearing Carl’s words, she jumped up from her seat and told Carl to get ready to go back.

When her coldly fallen eyes touched Gray, his eyes shook anxiously.

“Okay. Gray, let’s go back together.”

But they couldn’t get a step out of the parlor. It was because Arthur, who she didn’t even know when he came, blocked the door and hugged her firmly, and did not let her go.

“……I guess I forgot to tell you, the Princess cannot leave here without my permission.”

She looked at Arthur with a puzzled look. Arthur growled as if warning Gray.

“Not only here, but also from me.”

No, not just Gray, but he might be included.….

“What kind of nonsense is that?”

Gray calmly continued his words to Arthur. His voice seemed somewhat more intense than before.

Karl also looked stiff as if he didn’t like the way she was in Arthur’s arms.

“Arthur, that’s my freedom.”

“I’ll tell you one thing.”

Arthur whispered in a voice that would only be heard by her.

“If you leave this place, the repressed disease will worsen.”

“What did you do to me?”

“Don’t make my efforts to save you go in vain.”

He smiled gently and let her get out of his arms. Arthur, who smiled as much as he could with a relaxed expression, opened the way as if saying, if she doesn’t mind, she can go if she wants.

There’s no way I can go.

Even if she thought so, it was not easy for her to pass by him without worrying an inch about the pain.She felt the fear and pain of death that she had experienced all her life. She was shaking, but she didn’t show it.

“You told me to do whatever I want?”

She slowly walked past Arthur and beckoned Carl. Carl would bow to Arthur and greet him after her.

Gray also looked unwilling, but all he could do in this situation was just go back with her.

Why do you like him? He’s blind to anger and doesn’t even know where he is.

She felt bad and walked away from Gray. Arthur looked at her and soon approached her quickly and snatched her arm.

“……3 days.”

“What?”

“Come back in here.”

Arthur put a small glass bottle in her hand. Even in her questioning eyes, he just said three days.

His anxious and shaky eyes now seem somewhat pathetic.

I don’t get him.

She nodded and shook the glass bottle to Arthur. After leaving a message that she would send details to him in a letter, she boarded the wagon Gray and Carl came in.

“Oh, wait…”.

She fell asleep again even before she made a mistake.

***

The place where she woke up was her room without having to think. Again, she grabbed her throbbing head and chose to breathe.

Is this the only way?

If she goes back, she must argue. She didn’t know what the hell was being used.

No, when she thinks about it, there were many strange things. It’s so fast to find something that’s not suspicious even for the first time.

Besides, I didn’t see people in the manor, did she?

Of course, it may be because she fell asleep as soon as she got in the carriage, but it was strange. When she came to her senses, she picked up the glass bottle that Arthur gave her and called the maid.

“Princess, did you call me?”

“Gather all the court ladies of the imperial family right now.”

“What? Right now?”

“Didn’t I say I don’t like to say it twice?”

The maid left the door immediately after what she said. When she went outside and looked at them, she saw maids gathering busily in one place. She told Carl to follow her straight away.

“It might not be true.”

“We’ll find out when we check it out.”

“Yes.”

She could see the maids gathering in one place and shaking as if they were anxious with a frightened look.

She told Carl to find it and watched it quietly. Carl looked at each one and pulled the other maids aside.

‘It’s fun, a kite running wild without knowing the place.’

Holding a smile to the fullest, she waited for the maid to come out of Carl’s hands. Yeah, that’s what happened. She was a bad girl in this novel, right?

But it’s funny that she’s destined to die as a villain when she’s the main character. Is this the main character? Otherwise, she may be mistaken for the main character.
