Act Gracefully As A Villainous Lady

Chapter 99



88 Former Villain Warrant Lady, make a bet

“If Senior Willem really loves Sister Merriam, I’m sure he’ll be here, won’t he? Because you won’t be able to leave the crisis of the woman you love alone. But if his purpose was not your own, but the wealth and power that accompanied you… or if he weighed honor and fame, he would give priority to the Games. I’ll leave your rescue to the others.”

Jail has a mean grin as if to try, staring at Merriam-Rose.

“Fulfill he come here or not… let’s make a bet with me”

Meliá Rose swallowed the crumbs, taking great care not to put the upset on the table.

– No, don’t be upset. Calm down, calm down, Meliá Rose…!

Telling herself that, Melia Rose surely held her fist firmly on her lap.

Whether it is Willem who comes here or not, perhaps then, Merriah Rose will be rescued.

All Merriam Rose can do now is buy time, taking care not to irritate Jail.

Breathe softly, and Melia Rose looks up.

As soon as that happens, I see Jail and I were looking at this one.

He was… laughing with a spicy, sad face somewhere.

– Why…?

When I saw his expression, for some reason, Meliá Rose’s chest ached.

Jail made a wild mistake and did something terrible like kidnapping Mary Rose.

Melia Rose remembered her anger against him. It’s supposed to……

– Why do you look so lonely…

It’s like a child left behind, that look… very similar to what little Jail used to show hiding in the shadows and frightening.

“Answer me, Sister Meliá. Do you think Senior Willem will be here?

With a whispering voice, Jail says so.

If I had worked my head off a little, I would have been able to get away with it while I was buying time.

But… Melia Rose didn’t.

Why, I felt I had to answer his question sincerely.

Jail is serious.

I don’t understand his thought circuit at all… but he has his own ideas and I guess he planned this.

– Jail is asking me directly from the front.

I didn’t want to delude or make fun of the inquiry.

Will Willem come here after he throws out the tournament?

‘If Senior Willem really loves Sister Merriam, I’m sure he’ll be here, won’t he? Because you won’t be able to leave the crisis of your beloved woman alone.’

Earlier, Jail’s words come back to life.

– I wonder what Willem will do…

If he finds out that Meliá Rose suddenly disappeared, will he come looking for him until he throws out the tournament?

When you start thinking about it that way, anxiety pushes you along the way.

‘But if his purpose was not your own, but the wealth and power that accompanied you… or if he weighed honor and fame, he would give priority to the Games’

Jail’s words are stuck in my head.

Willem told me that he didn’t like “The Lady of the Duke of Maxwell’s House,” he liked “Melia Rose herself”.

And yet, anxiety is coming from the depths of my heart.

– Other than being the daughter of the Duke Maxwell family, what’s my value? How did Willem like me…?

In the end, I’m not sure.

I wondered if Willem was worth it.

But still…

“I just need you.”

‘I’m not with you two, I’m a wonderful woman. I admire you more than my heart…… I love you. If I’m allowed to, I’m going to protect you for the rest of my life.’

Willem did say that to me.

Then I’d like to believe it.

Willem always kept me beside Meliá Rose. He was supportive and protective.

I don’t feel confident about myself, but still, I can believe about Willem.

So face up, Melia Rose tells Jail directly from the front.

“He’s coming.”

Willem’s personality wouldn’t imitate leaving the disappeared Merriam Rose alone.

– First of all, you should come to me.

Thinking about it, wonder and power came to me.

Jail opened his eyes to Mary Rose, who gave her a firm answer.

And… I laughed somewhere satisfied.

“… is that your answer”

“Yeah, I am. He’s my loyal knight, so he can’t be here. If you don’t come, I’ll fire you.”

Jail chuckles when he purposefully says so in a dignified manner to look confident.

“That’s my sister Meliá.”

“Totally…… I really don’t know what you’re talking about. So, what do you do with the bet?”

“Right……”

Jail seemed to be conceiving with his hands on his chin.

You didn’t think about it…… and Melia Rose becomes unconsciously weak.

I glanced right at the door, and Jail laughed small.

“If it was Senior Willem who got here, I’ll honestly give you back to him.”

“… that’s very thoughtful.”

“If he’s ready to go that far, that’s fine.”

…………

… No, I still can’t read Jail’s thoughts.

But this is not a bad condition.

– It’s okay, I’m sure Willem will… No, he will definitely come…!

Yes, I told myself, and Melia Rose grips her fist all the time.

But then I react unexpectedly to what Jail said.

“If it was not Senior Willem who got here, but another person, and he chose to continue the Games over you… then he would be doomed”

“Huh?”

“Well, it’s a worthy end for a fool, isn’t it?”

“Hey, what are you talking about…!?

Mary Rose stood up unexpectedly to the noisy words, but Jail just laughed happily for some reason.

As we do so, busier footsteps are approaching from the hallway.

“Looks like you’re here.”

“Huh…!

Meliá Rose spits solidly and watches over the end of the door.

Soon there, someone’s approaching.

And as Mary Rose and Jail watched, the door opened.

Just for a moment it felt like a long time.

As soon as the familiar pale blonde gets into her eyes, Merriah Rose opens her eyes wide.

“Mr. Meliá Rose!

Wet with red blood all the way to the knight outfit, swords in his hands, skin and messy pale gold hair he wore in the venue.

Still, he stood firm on his own feet.

As soon as I admitted the appearance of Meliá Rose, I could see that the impatient expression loosened for a moment.

Meliá Rose herself, as soon as she saw him, was struck by a passion, as if the emotions that had been held back until now were overflowing.

With that impulse, my body was running out on its own.

“Willem huh……!

Desperately moving his leg that was about to be twisted, Melia Rose tried to jump in and hugged Willem all over her body.

Willem clutches his sword in one hand while holding Merriah Rose firmly in her other arm.

“… I’m glad you’re safe”

Hugged so hard in pain, from behind the lid, nature and tears overflow.

Like she didn’t want to leave anymore, Meliá Rose became obsessed with the temperature in front of her.
