The Tragedy of The Villainess

Chapter 80

There was no Kalis outside Seria’s bedroom door.

The reason was Abigail.

Yesterday evening, during those few hours, Abigail came in and out of the third floor looking for Seria countless times. She could have just stayed in her room, but Abigail was adamant.

“I can smell danger from the third floor,” she said, repeatedly coming and going.

Frankly speaking, Abigail seemed to think of this place as one of Seria’s vacation homes, not the Kellyden’s. Seria was surprised to see her strutting around so unconcernedly.

Thanks to this, the senior employees of the castle, including the chief butler, looked like they had a stroke. It was surprising that an armed knight stirred casually around the castle.

Suddenly, at around midnight, a temporary ban was imposed on the third floor for the safety of the family’s direct descendants.

It was ridiculous, but the Marchioness took the lead in approving the ban, so there was nothing to say. Originally, the work in the castle was thoroughly the domain of the hostess.

Originally, Kalis would have to wait for Seria on the third floor reception room.

Because he was Seria’s escort partner. However, the third floor was closed to outsiders, and because of this, Kalis had to wait on the second floor stair lobby.

Walking to the main staircase, Seria looked down for a moment at the second floor lobby. Kalis was seen talking to the chief butler and there were some noblewomen talking.

‘Why are the noble ladies here?’

It seemed that the Marchioness put the ladies here to watch Seria and Kalis. They were still expecting Seria to slap Kalis on the face  and make a big out of it.

‘If they want a scene, let’s give them one. Shall we?’

Seria raised her eyebrows and walked slowly down the stairs. When he heard the sound of shoes, Kalis turned to Seria. He was a little nervous and nice looking. Seria was annoyed and just walked down the stairs with her eyes fixed on the chief butler. When she came down the stairs, he asked.

“Lady Seria, could it be…Did the servants do something wrong?”

“No? Why?”

Seria looked at the butler because she thought he was talking nonsense.

“You look angry….”

Oh, he must think Seria was angry because her gaze was fixed on him as she came. Seria’s irritated face was pretty scary too.

Soon after, Kalis’s voice fell.

“Let’s go down now. Stern.”

Seria glanced at Kalis. She placed her hand on Kalis’s arm without any response. Curiously, there was a bandage on the back of Kalis’s hand.

‘What, are you injured?’

A reflexive question came to mind. But a question was only a question. Seria immediately tried to look away, but her timing was not good. Red blood was slowly oozing out of the bandage. The butler’s eyes were sharp.

“Marquis Haneton ! Are you injured?”

“..It’s nothing serious.”

Kalis frowned a little and added.

“Just call my aide to the banquet hall.”

“Yes, Marquis.”

The butler gestured to the other servants who were followingbehind. Kalis stared at Seria and began to walk without saying a word. Seria wanted to say ‘you should go and get some treatment’. But it was obvious that it would be a trigger for a conversation.
