When The Villainess Loves - Chapter 29

I was on my way back after buying some beer and drinking it with the two. My expression was a little relieved, but Eugene, who had been silent all along, stopped.

“Eugene?”

Eugene looked up when I called him.

I opened my eyes wide. The moonlight was shining on his silver hair. And below that, a self-illuminating handsome man was talking to me with his red lips open. I thought I got used to it, but I’m fascinated again.

“Ticia. No, Your Highness, Princess Leticia.”

“…….”

“Why aren’t you angry?”

I replied, barely restraining myself from getting a little hazy: “There’s no reason to be angry.”

“That….”

Eugene’s face distorted. It was an expression I’ve never seen before, even at the beginning when her was annoyed by me.

He continued as he opened his eyes wide at the unfamiliar sight: “There’s no reason to? Why is there no reason to be angry?”

I was a little embarrassed. And I spoke out the question, which came to mind: “Then should I get angry?”

Cain, who was approaching Eugene a few steps with an expression as if he was going to stop him, suddenly stopped. Even his reaction was questionable, so I blinked again.

“Well, what do you….”

Eugene’s expression became really weird. Well, it’s beautiful anyway, but I’m a little nervous because I don’t know what caused the change.

I continued cautiously: “It’s nothing special.”

Besides, Leticia unnie was a real villain, at least in the original. I like unnie very much, but I didn’t mistake her for being a good person, although the present Princess Leticia hasn’t yet committed her wrongdoings from the original.

‘But it’s not a nice thing to hear though.’

But again, it wasn’t to the point of anger.

‘I would have gotten angry if unnie were here, but she’s not. If I get angry here, I might ignore the choices unnie made.’

I had a lot of thoughts about unnie, which caused me to become more cautious and sensible. Someone cursing at me? It can happen anytime, anywhere. Besides, I’m leaving soon. It’s never a pleasant thing to experience, but isn’t it basic to live without being swayed by it?

Even now, I’m in the body of my Leticia unnie, who was surrounded by a lot of bad rumors, but reacting to each one of them is just a waste of stamina. Especially when my stamina for fangirling was already this limited!

“They can and will continue to talk badly about me anyways.”

Yeah, I can’t get rid of the rumors. I knew it from the start. However, I believe that it’s getting better because there will be new rumors. The wicked woman has changed recently. That’s all I think about the rumors.

Rumors can be malicious, they can hurt people, and once they’re there, it’s too hard to get rid of them. That’s because their direction keeps changing.

I could only see Cain’s back, but somehow it felt like he was listening to me. Eugene’s face, looking at me, was pale. Is it because of the moonlight? But even now he is a beautiful man.

“So I’m fine”, said I slowly with a smile on.

“Just because it’s always been like that doesn’t mean it’s okay.”

The whispered words from Eugene were a little strange. It’s not wrong, though.

I answered: “But I’m really fine.”

“You are not all right, Your Highness.”

“No, Eugene. Why can’t you understand?”

No, every single day I was living happily enough. Eugene was one of the people who saw it closer than anyone else. Why are you like this today?

“It’s not that I don’t understand. You, Your Highness….”

By any chance, are you drunk? His pronunciation made me think so. At the thought I swallowed my groan. The handsome face in front of me began to look different. Getting drunk and emotional? Is he a drunk like that?

Hey, this is a rare appearance, too!

“Your Highness, why do you save your medicine for later?”

Hmm……? It didn’t sound like Englisch.

Regardless, Eugene’s words began to flow like an explosion: “Why did Rox give you painkillers? They didn’t help at all.”

Uh, That’s… I rolled my eyes slightly because I had nothing to say. Of course there was no need to answer.

“Why are you used to it? Why can’t you think of slandering as what it is?”

“Eugene, that….”

“Why, why are you being so harsh on yourself?”

Uh… I just blinked and sighted inwardly. Eugene, you’re a very weak drinker. In fact, it was me who insisted on having one drink each, recalling the Do Won-gyeol1 of the Three Kingdoms. But I did it because I thought both of you were good at drinking.

Oh, I was bad! Don’t do that. I should apologize properly when I wake up sober. I smiled softly, hoping to look as harmless as possible. I couldn’t smile to brightly because I would regret it later.  I don’t know what Eugene disliked about it, but he Eugene just stared at me and began to distort his impression even more.

What, what, why?

Eugene lowered his head. How long has it been?

“Your Highness….”

He looked up and asked me with a crushed tone: “Even if you’re going to die soon…… How can you laugh and smile like that?”

“Volton”, Cain next to him called Eugene in a slightly angry voice.

At least at this moment, I was distracted by Eugene’s neat and passionate voice rather than Cain’s perfect one.

“I feel … I feel so upset. Why do you make me feel like this?”

In that moment, I was completely taken in by his inexpressible fatal atmosphere. And was speechless. Not only am I not thinking of dying in the first place. But, no, why are you smiling? Why do you ask such an obvious question? As repeated the answer in my head I threw away the dignity of Princess Leticia

‘Is it because he’s good looking?’

A cold wind blew.

whoops, being beautiful is truly a blessing of this world. Eugene, you have a nice face even when you’re drunk.

I shriveled inside and shrugged my shoulders to keep my thoughts from showing. The next moment, I was suddenly hugged by someone. It was Eugene.

༻﹡﹡﹡﹡﹡﹡﹡༺

The princess’s eyes were purple. The color, which she inherited from her mother, gave the impression that she was not human in the past. But now…

“You are…”

Eugene hated the color. Purple represents death. It symbolizes a divinity that humans cannot reach and at the same time the unstoppable death.

After dropping the man who said something he didn’t dare to say out loud himself, Eugene’s body tensed while he wasn’t looking at the princess. He wanted to turn around worried, but wasn’t confident enough to look into those eyes.

‘I wanted to ask her.’

Is she okay after hearing that? Why is she so kind to others even at times like this? But again…. She smiled as if nothing had happened. She even began to drink with the two of them with a happy face as if nothing had happened.

She talked more to relieve the atmosphere. Even being stubborn about having another drink. How can I not know that her heart is filled with consideration?

‘How can she be so consistent with it?’

She probably suffers.

“Eugene?”

She won’t know.  In just over a month she made Eugene like her with her sincerity and consideration. But she doesn’t want anything in return. She has an attitude of accepting everything calmly.

“Ticia. No, Your Highness, Princess Leticia.”

The smile. All her hidden tears.

“Why didn’t you get angry?”

He just couldn’t bear it.

“There’s no reason to be angry.”

But this is not the case. Eugene couldn’t figure out how to answer the princess.

“That’s… There’s no reason to? Why is there no reason to be angry?”

“Then should I get angry?”

Under the moonlight, the princess stood with a crumbling smile.

“Well, what do you….”

“It’s nothing special.”

It was a vague and extremely fragile voice.

” They can and will continue to talk badly about me anyways.”

Ah. Eugene felt as if he had been hit on the head by her blunt words. He got it wrong. In fact, he had believed the rumors as well. Everyone was reluctant to call Princess Leticia a cruel and coldhearted villainess. What the princess said was similar to what Eugene had done in the past. Because he did just that.

‘I didn’t expect it to haunt me like this.”

He didn’t deserve to be angry. I forgot about it because Leticia was smiling, but Eugene was just like them a month ago. She said she was used to it.

“So I’m fine.”
