Yulia's POV:

“Princess! Hurry up and get up!”

“Um…… I’ll sleep for five more minutes…..”

“You’re supposed to meet the Duke of Siegbert today!”

“……I’ll sleep for another 10 minutes.”

I was awakened by force. The influence of the villain seems to be greater than expected.

It’s already enough to excite my nanny with the name alone. 

I’m all ready to wash up.

Fortunately, looking at my reflection in the mirror as I washed up, the red traces near my neck were fading.

But it didn’t seem to matter. As soon as I came out, a gorgeous dress caught my eye.

“Nanny. More modest than this.”

“What? If you’re meeting with the emperor …… but if you’re meeting with the Duke of Siegbert then……”

(TN: she’s implying that it would be fine if it was the Emperor [AKA Yulia’s father] but not the Duke)

“Something simple.”

I have to get away from the villain so a colorful and pretty dress will be poisonous. 

Still, I’m a princess so I should not be too simple, so I chose clothes that are moderately colorful and not excessive. 

Wearing a dress properly encompassing light purple and white, the nanny took me to the dressing table.

“Nanny……?”

“You have to dress up now.”

“No. I’m not going to put on makeup.”

“Of course, the Princess is a beautiful woman with a naturally pretty face, but…”

“It’s not what the nanny thinks.”

“Then, just earrings and necklaces…..”

“……Yes that’s it.”

The nanny looked disappointed, but I hurriedly bought her accessories because I feared she would say no.

I chose dark purple earrings and necklaces.

“Princess, are you really going to stop here?”

“Yeah. Just bring me a hat.”

“……I see.”

She seemed to be very disappointed, but I couldn’t help it. The villain is someone who will pay attention to me until he meets Cecil.

In the original, Yulia had seen the villain even before she met the male protagonist, and it was said that she had been chasing him even before he became obsessed with the female protagonist.

(TN: when it says “the original” just know it refers to the original story╰(´꒳')╯)

And even then, the villain did not pay attention to her. 

“I’ll go now.”

“Yes, here’s the hat.”

I headed to the Duke of Siegbert in a carriage. Of course, I was accompanied by an escort because I was a daughter who listens well to her father.

I never took the escort because I was afraid of the black screen.

I tried to get off when the door of the carriage opened, but there was a villain right in front of me, so I almost died of a heart attack.

“Weren’t you waiting inside?”

“It’s natural for a husband to escort their wife.”

“……I’m not married yet I don’t wanna do it.”

“You’re going to do it with me soon.”

I wasn’t a match for words so I wasn’t confident of continuing the conversation anymore.

“Yulia. It’s your first time here since that day, right? We have a room for you to come and stay here at any time.”

“Aren’t we going outside?”

If we stay inside the house, we may have a mishap as last time. It’s best to avoid such worse situations.

I shouldn’t have forgotten. My purpose is to protect the peace of my family without being entangled with the villain.

“……Hmm. You must have wanted to go on a date outside. Well, we still have a lot of time.”

Guided by him, I saw him go into a wagon engraved with the patterns of the Duke of Siegbert.

My opinion seemed to have been made clear.

“I don’t want to go in there.”

“Why? Where is there a place with as many of our memories as there?”

“Not at all. It’s a place where I only have memories I want to forget!”

“There must be no man who can satisfy you as much as I do.”

How can you say something like that so casually!

Because of his words, my face was so red.

“Didn’t I tell you? For me, with the person I love……”

“Isn’t physical love also love?”

“……I want spiritual love.”

“I can fill that up, too.”

“……The Duke doesn’t love me.”

Because you don’t know love. It was like that in the original.

– Do I love her?  Do I look like someone who can do what is called love?

Chester was a person who knew love as obsession and possession. He was never talking about such feelings of warmth and affection.

It must be true that love is crooked. Readers! That’s what love is! That’s what the comment said.

Perhaps Chester may not know love because his parents died at a young age.

However, that was what I thought when I was a reader, but I didn’t want it at all from the perspectives of different parties.

“How do you know if I love you or not?”

“……Then the Duke.”

“Did you forget my name again?”

It was an implicit threat.

I didn’t know what would happen if I didn’t call him by his name, so I changed my words right away to some extent to please him.

“What do you think love is Chester?”

“What about you, what do you think, Yulia?”

“I asked you first.”

It was clear that he would say that he didn’t know. I knew such an answer would come out.

But he said something beyond imagination.

“Physical attraction is also called love.”

“…….”
