The Villainess Will Leave Without Any Regrets - Chapter 101

The world was full of incomprehensible things.

Cade laughed.

The man he planted next to Layla survived. Because the victim was someone else.

This allowed Cade to be sure of two things.

First, Layla was in the same situation as Cade. She had returned from the future to the past. She knew as much as Cade did. And she had a lot of old and cruel tricks up her sleeve.

Layla Amerigo.

What kind of person was she?

After Abella’s death, Layla took over Arsene Sirius. How happy she must have been as a result of a long wait.

Layla did not let her fruits stand still. Because of her insecurity and perverted lust, Layla imprisoned Arsene.

‘What a great woman.’

Cade rubbed his forehead. A tiring thing happened. He was okay with everyone else, though he hoped they would not be a returner. Unfortunately, the person turned out to be Layla.

How badly had she tormented Abella while working at Amerigo?

She was vicious in everything she did, whether it was because she had a lack of empathy or humanity. She slaughtered the knights who were escorting Abella to kill Abella. Layla didn’t give Abella a break.

Although she didn’t get blood on her hands directly, she didn’t hesitate to get blood on other people’s hands.

Perhaps Layla also contributed to Abella’s death.

“Burke.”

“Yes, Your Majesty. You look uncomfortable today.” Burke spoke anxiously to Cade, who had been wearing that frowning impression since early morning. Cade and Burke had been studying together under the same teacher since they were children, so they sometimes got along casually. Burke was also the most sensitive to Cade’s health and mood.

Cade narrowed one of his fine eyes. “What kind of character do you think Lady Layla is?”

“I called you, but you’re the one to ask the question.”

“…Isn’t that because you’re worried about your beliefs? You don’t look too good these days. You seem to be unable to sleep… and the amount of food you’ve eaten  has also decreased, so the chef has begun to worry.”

“This is true.” Cade shrugged his shoulders.

“I was short-minded and worried about you.”

“That’s not what you really mean, does it?”

Burke nodded sullenly.

“Now, I’m at the point to resent Last Abella.”

It all started when Abella returned to Timur. Like a clock that had stopped, started spinning.

“It’s not Abella’s fault.” Cade muttered. “If you think about it, it’s my fault.”

It was Cade’s fault for not knowing anything and stupidly not protecting Abella.

It was Cade’s fault for not knowing Abella, who was dying, and only talking about love.

It was Cade’s fault for only coming to his senses after losing Abella.

Cade wiped his face dry.

“Then who is to blame? And you haven’t answered Lady Layla yet.”

“I’m thinking.” Cade clenched his teeth.

What would be a good way? He couldn’t harm Layla Amerigo for no reason. She wore the surname of a great aristocrat, and she hadn’t done much in this lifetime. Cade rolled his eyes.

Oh.

A very mean and dirty method came to mind.

And it was the most appropriate way.

“…I wonder if I should take Layla Amerigo into the harem.”

“……”

Thud-

The itinerary from Burke’s hand fell and scattered onto the floor.

Cade watched it with gloomy eyes.

“As if she’s like me.”

He could spy on Layla with her by his side, while giving her no other titles. That was the most important point. He could bring Layla into the palace and make sure she didn’t see anyone. And he could increase the number of people spying on her.

Oh, of course there were also other ways.

One was to elevate Abella to the most noble position.

However, although Cade could force Layla, he could not force Abella. It was even more so for Cade because he was a loser. He wanted to make her see only the good and the pretty, and only have her do what she wanted to do.

“And……”

“…if you want to say something more absurd…”

“I’m trying to get April Clemington to Amerigo and stay in the mansion.”

Thud-

Burke, who was bending over to pick up the itinerary, dropped it again. He looked up at Cade with a blank expression in his eyes.

‘Are you crazy!’

Wizards were valuable talents. Besides, wasn’t April the princess of Clemington? They were in the process of renovating the mansion where he would welcome April, and out of nowhere, Amerigo? Burke looked at Cade, stunned.

The wizard belonged to the tower and had to work for the empire.

The person who Cade personally raised as a wizard was helping Cade’s work, but…

But what about Amerigo?

It was like he gave Abella the power to run privately.

“I have no idea what you are thinking…”

Well.

Cade’s thinking revolved around Abella these days. He would do anything to save Abella. Cade told Burke.

“…Abella, ask the Lady for a favor and for April to enter the palace.”

It seemed like there are a lot of things to talk about.

Burke wept and nodded his head. “Yes, Your Majesty.”

He hoped Abella would stop Cade.

*

Enoch escorted Abella over and helped her get off the carriage. Today, they were going to check out Abella’s new business, which was open. The people who greeted them who got off at the Timur branch stood right at the door.

“Lady Abela, Lord Enoch. Long time no see.” Serin said hello.

“It’s been a while, Serin, how have you been?”

“Good, Lady Abella! I think you’re thinner. Oh God… Come inside. The fog is too bad.”

“Timur is always like that.”

Abella took off her hat and stepped into the branch. It seems that they had just moved to Timur, but Abella’s business was settling in. The sophisticated consultation counter and the staff were doing their job in the right place.

“Is the number of transactions increasing?”

“Timur is probably a place that doesn’t take in imported goods or goods from other regions…”

“I know. It seems that we are going to get new amenity supplies for the newly opened hotel in Sirius this time. Did you know that?”

“Oh! Yes. Anyway, that’s why I prepared a list of those parts. Let’s go to the office, Lady Abella.”

As soon as she entered, Serin followed Abella, who rushed at her, as if Serin was accustomed to it. Abella was obsessed with work and could not see anything else. Enoch greeted the people at the business modestly and followed them.

By the time Enoch entered the room, the story was already ending.

“Oh. And.”

Abella looked at Serin and Enoch alternately.

Serin made Enoch work with Abella. Because he was an employee who was brought in by her.

“Did you say you came from Clemington too……”

Serin was startled. “Yes…”

“Are you from the royal castle?”

“Yes?”

“Because I found out that Enoch had a secret. I wonder what kind of person you were.”

Serin shrugged like a carp, then shook her head quickly.

Wouldn’t it be better to be honest than to be caught already? Serin swallowed a gulp and opened her mouth.

Fortunately, Abella didn’t seem angry, and Enoch shrugged his shoulders as if resigned too.

It meant she could say it.

“I was working as an assistant to Prince Enoch.”

“Right. So, do you know that Princess April will enter the country this time?”

“Yes……”

That was how it happened.

How much did she know?

Enoch shrugged his shoulders more this time.

In fact, when she confided everything to Yuri, she was prepared for it. Abella was a thorough person, and would not miss a single thing. She had already calculated the new variables, so she would have her own version.

Abella was speaking to her slowly. “Great. I heard that Princess April will become the Grand Duke of the Empire. Perhaps all kinds of people will reach out to Princess April. Being a wizard who doesn’t belong to the tower is attractive.”

Those who belonged to the tower only moved in matters related to the empire and could not do it privately.

However, it was a different story if you were a wizard living outside the tower. She was able to put in a personal request.

“Probably so.” Serin agreed.

“I hope we can get that attractive person first.”

Oh.

Enoch realized now why Abella had announced her intention to visit the branch out of the blue this morning.

This was what she wanted to discuss in front of Serin and Enoch.

“Isn’t that what networking is used for?” Abella smiled brightly.

Her purple eyes stared intently at Enoch. Enoch sighed, opened his candy and shoved it into his mouth.

His heart was pounding from the look in her eyes!!

Even in front of person who wanted to use him. Enoch clicked his tongue.

“Serin, can we meet before she enters the Imperial Palace?”

“…Yes, it is possible.”

Serin stared at Enoch with pitiful eyes.

To be treated like a ‘network’ by someone you like… That’s why I said that you should go back, your Highness…

“Then get ready.” Abella said softly.

“Yes……”

“I trust Serin will do well.”

“I’ll try my best.”

Her mission was to exercise her acquaintance with April and somehow get her in front of Abella’s. For her poor prince.
