The Villainess Will Leave Without Any Regrets - Chapter 115

Grand Madam Sirius stuttered and opened her mouth. “Stop it.”

It was true that she had tried to stand by as he had forgotten everything. She felt it was not necessary for her to intervene and separate, as Abella was still engaged to Arsene, as if she knew nothing.

However, the situation was reversed.

The emperor intervened between Arsene and Abella. In fact, if Abella wanted to keep her relationship with Arsene, it would be Sirius’ desire.

“Think of what you did, Arsene.”

“Mother, I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Arsene said with a confused face. However, the deep blue madness contained in the depths of his eyes was visible to the eyes of Grand Madam Sirius.

Grand Madam Sirius lowered her thin fingers that were covering her face.

It might be better for her to confide in everything and dissuade Arsene rather than making fun of Abella with a face that didn’t know anything like this.

She was afraid that Arsene’s memories would come back one day. After his obsessive possessiveness towards Abella was gone, even Grand Madam Sirius was able to breathe. His abnormal behavior also disappeared.

He no longer slaughtered living creatures, and she no longer had to wash away blood.

She never forgot Arsene, who smiled over the cat’s blood, and her fears remained, but she was able to act like any other lady.

However, his obsession with Abella had faded, not his heart.

Arsene sometimes went and committed accidents, unable to contain his essence.

“…you killed him.”

“Mother?”

“You killed Abella’s father…you were involved in the murder of the previous duke, Arsene…” Grand Madam Sirius’s voice cracked.

On Arsene’s white-washed face, his eyes lit up.

Grand Madam Sirius sighed.

It seemed that greed would not cease until Abella was devoured. Tears streamed down Grand Madam Sirius’ cheeks.

“What are you talking about… I couldn’t have done that, Mother.”

With a soft face without agitation, Arsene glared at Grand Madam Sirius. She realized that it was all forgotten by Arsene. She was by no means reassured by it. His memory may have been lost, but his essence was still there, and it was seething inside.

The devil was smacking his lips.

At that time.

Yuri was also getting closer to the truth. Abella’s nanny, who seemed unlikely to speak until forever, opened her mouth.

“It wasn’t aimed at the Duke in the first place.”

“Then?”

“… it was to kill Lady Abella.”

That was somewhat of a guess.

“But what happened?”

“There were not one or two people involved in this. Most of those who were at the villa that day are involved. They wanted to kill Abella and lift the curse.”

“……”

The curse.

It was something that Yuri, who was born and raised in Vincent, could not understand. In Vincent the custom of the Day of Skellus was left as a trace, but to say that it was cursed would be superstitious. It was just that people’s lives don’t come and go.

Was there a superstition over human life?

“All the troubles that occurred in Amerigo went to Lady Abella, and in the end they conspired to kill Lady Abella.”

“Who agreed?”

“…Most of those who inherit the blood of Amerigo.”

“And?”

The nanny laughed at Yuri’s question.

“Are you asking even though you knew?”

“Maybe I’m asking because I want to deny it.”

“…Laurelia Amerigo, Grand Madam Amerigo, also lent a hand. The Grand Madam did it to protect the firstborn, not Amerigo.”

Her heart sank.

Was she going to protect her child by driving the other to their limbs?

What kind of feeling did Abella, who had such a Laurelia as her mother, have? She wondered if she should be grateful that Abella, who had been burned so, had matured normally. She was glad that Abella escaped to Vincent.

At first, she wondered what the hell was going on and why the little child ran away from home.

But, looking back now, she was glad that Abella ran away from Amerigo. Someone else was plotting the murder.

She didn’t even know how to tell Abella about this.

It was truly fortunate that Abella was still alive.

Yuri thought that was the end.

However, the nanny opened her lips as if that was not the end.

“There, Lord Arsene of Sirius also gave a hand.”

“……What?” Yuri rubbed her dizzy head.

Arsene from Sirius?

Why would he?

Didn’t he like Abella?

With a respectful and kind face, he was well-reputed in Timur. Of course, Yuri had already finished investigating Arsene. But why was Arsene…?

It felt like her eyes were fading to black.

Then for Abella, what should she believe and whom should she depend on.

“……Why?”

“I don’t know the details. However, I only know that the two families joined forces to cover this up. The name of Lord Arsene of Sirius has been completely shrouded in secrecy.”

The nanny smiled with a reluctant expression.

“Then they gave generous compensation to the people involved and expelled them all. So that no one returns to Timur. I’m living here because it’s a parasite-like life… Everyone must either die or live in the shadows.”

In the end, they did not hesitate to commit murder to cover up the truth about it.

The Duke fell into the trap to kill Abella; Abella survived and the Duke died.

Abella lived for a long time with the stigma of being her father’s killer…

‘She devoured her father and even her brother, so now’s taking Amerigo?’

These were the words of people pointing their fingers at Abella.

But that wasn’t it.

Abella was a victim.

Yuri clenched her teeth.

She was not meant to be treated like that!

A blue rage simmered in her chest.

When she thought of the nerves of Grand Madam Amerigo who brazenly raised her head and the bloodline of Amerigo, who was living in Timur, it felt like her blood was gushing upside down.

“Lady Abella ran away, and her secret was forever buried. Those who knew the truth kept their mouths shut.”

“Or died.” Yuri murmured, and the nanny nodded her head.

“Seeing that Lady Abella survived and the others died in sin, the seed of the curse would be right…”

“Shut up!! There’s nothing you can’t say about the things that drove a normal child into her limbs!”

Yuri hit the table. Yuri jumped up and pushed the nanny against the wall. A mercenary stood behind her and pressed the nanny.

The nanny who had spoken well, kept her mouth shut in the menacing atmosphere.

“The-the cursed child!”

“Curse? What curse!! That curse will be you!” Yuri let out a yell.

Young Abella’s earnestness seemed to be grasped in her hand. Abella really ran away to live on.

Abella had to find a way to survive when other people at her age contemplated their future in the arms of their parents.

Damn curse!

Stupid Timur!

Those who were stagnant and obsessed with outdated thoughts did not even know what their errors are. Yuri scratched her brain.

“Keep an eye on her. You never know when she will be used.”

The mercenary glanced at Yuri and nodded.

How could she tell Abella that the mother who gave birth to her tried to kill her? Yuri’s chest collapsed.

*

It was a pretty pleasant day.

Cade served dinner to Abella in return for the gift. Cade was pretty eloquent.

He knew a lot, and he knew how to say it in a fun way. When she spoke with Arsene, the awkward feelings vanished.

Come to think of it, Arsene was kind and gentle, but he wasn’t a good talker.

‘How was it when he was young?’

The jumbled memories tangled together and confused Abella.

‘Was Cade this kind of person?’

Abella’s hazy gaze turned outward.

How would Abella define Cade and Arsene when her buried truth was revealed?

She couldn’t even guess who was the one who forcibly changed her memory and where the puzzle pieces that couldn’t be put together were scattered.

Abella walked through the gates of Amerigo.

“Abella.”

Arsene stood alone in the lobby, as if he had been waiting for her.

“Arsene…?”

“I heard you went to the Imperial Palace, so I was waiting. I was hoping we could have dinner together.”

Arsene smiled brightly as he stretched his splendid blonde hair matching the sunshine. There was a friendly smile that matched his sweetly curved eyes.

This is the face of Arsene that Abella knew.

“I want to talk about our marriage.”

Arsene had tightened his leash towards Abella. It felt like the cobwebs around her were being pulled tight. Abella’s lips trembled.

“Marriage……?”

“Yes. We’ve been engaged for a long time, so I think it’s worth considering.”

For some reason, her heart sank.

The reluctance climbed up from her feet.

Abella forcibly swallowed her stomach up.

At the end of Abella’s bewildered gaze, Arsene was smiling.

Standing in the sunlight, he looked as if something had come out of the dark for some reason.

Abella stopped breathing.
