The Tragedy of The Villainess

Chapter 152

***

“…To Duke Howard’s banquet?”

Kalis, who had hurriedly finished his work in the Haneton territory and came up to the imperial capital, couldn’t help but panic. And that wasn’t all.

“Lina called Eoles?”

“Yes, my lord.”

“Why did she call him to the mansion?”

“We don’t know…”

Kalis didn’t know why Lina had called Eoles to the Imperial mansion when Eoles had to take care of the silver tree garden.

Kalis went to see Lina first.



“Lina, didn’t I ask you to stay at the mansion until I return?”

“…I had to check on something. I’m sorry.”

Kalis said, managing to hide his tiredness.

“Let Eoles go.”

“Why?”

“Why? He had a job he’s been assigned.”

“But… I want to get to know Eoles. Can we make Eoles the chief attendant instead of the current one?”

“What?”

Kalis’s face stiffened. Lina looked at him intensely and asked abruptly.

“You’re not going to do me a favor because you’re afraid I’ll ruin the birthday present you’re going to give Seria?”

“The chief maid of the house is not one to be changed at will, Lina.”

“I’m your wife now, aren’t I?”

“Lina.”

Kalis got down on one knee in front of Lina.

“We’re temporary.”

“…….”

“I’m your guardian. I’m sure you’ll meet a better man.”

“Then…Kalis, are you waiting for Seria?”

“…Only if Seria allows it.”

“Kalis, you.”

Lina was angry. It was that unidentified book she had read. In that book, which contained all the stories and lives of this world, Kalis had truly loved her (Lina).

Even though he (Kalis) even committed suicide because Lina married Grand Duke Berg.

Because Lina abandoned him (Kalis).

Because Lina didn’t choose him (Kalis).

This was the reason why Lina couldn’t just dismiss the book as a dream. It was too detailed. Dreams aren’t that detailed.

Seria had really taken a lot from Lina. Lina was the hero who had so much taken from her.

And … Lina couldn’t let it be taken from her forever.

“Seria is the Grand Duchess of Berg. How can she give up that marriage? I know that’s impossible!”

“…….”

Lina was about to cry as she looked at Kalis who didn’t respond.

“Kalis, please… Please don’t act like you’re someone who can’t live without Seria.”

Lina spoke miserably. Her brown eyes eventually hardened like stone. Because she saw the tears running down Kalis’ cheeks.

Kalis covered his face with both hands.
