The Tragedy of The Villainess

Chapter 149

‘Why is he staring at that thing so intently?’

Seria asked to be excused and then quickly went over to Linon’s side.

“Linon, do you want that one?”

“Huh?”

Linon looked flustered and waved his hands.

“No! No!”

He was very flustered, which looked very suspicious, but Seria didn’t have time to find out.



“Hmmm, Grand Duchess Berg.”

She turned around and saw that Duke Howard had approached her before she knew it. In the meantime, Linon greeted him politely and quickly stepped aside.

Duke Howard asked her how she was doing. In the meantime, he also asked how Abigail was doing with an anxious voice.

In this way, Duke Howard was still a duke, although he was fascinated with Abigail.

Even in the briefest of conversations about her safety, he secretly tried to arrange a meeting with Empress Ekizel.

“I’ve prepared a mysterious friend for you, and I hope you’ll come along with your dear knight.”

Duke Howard was full of confidence.

“Your Highness.”

Howard’s butler approached nimbly and whispered to the Duke.

“What is it?”

Duke Howard, whose face turned blue, glanced at Seria.

‘Why is his face so pale?’

Duke Howard asked to be excused and hurried to his feet.

“What’s going on?”

The question didn’t last long.

There was a loud buzzing sound. She could see a self-conscious face in a bright white dress coming through the door.

“Lina?”

“Oh, my God. Oh, my God, it’s the Saintess.”

“Oh… I heard that the Howard family ambitiously prepared this banquet, but it seems that all the powerful people in the empire have received invitations.”

What’s strange was that she didn’t come with Kalis. Why did Lina come to the capital?

While Seria was confused, the music changed.

“Seria. Duke Howard must have sent invitations to all the major families as is customary?”

Marlesana whispered quietly, coming to Seria’s side at some point.

“I guess so.”

“But did he invite a religious person who didn’t debut in the imperial capital? It’s not common to call temple people to private parties.”

Seria chuckled as she had the same thought. It’s always fun to have a friend you can talk to.

“We’ll know for sure in a bit.”

Marlesana nodded.

‘I think Duke Howard only invited Marquis Haneton.’ (Seria)

Duke Howard has been very busy trying to please Seria, including welcoming Abigail and arranging a meeting with Queen Ekizel. Would such a Duke be willing to go to the trouble of inviting Lina and Seria together?
