Count?
Count Algrene sent a notice that he is currently tending to his terribly ill daughter.
A devoted father indeed, that Algrene.
Let us begin announcing the verdict...
━━━━━━ ◦ ❖ ◦ ━━━━━━
"..... Lilian Delamine, you are hereby sentenced to execution by beheading for putting the imperial family in grave danger and poisoning Lady Algrene." a voice boomed from the man holding a long piece of paper.
A disheveled figure in rags fell to the ground with hands bound with rope and started laughing hysterically.
Hah, this is all so hilarious.
The room was dead silent, everyone looking down me with merciless eyes like always. The Crown Prince, Erina feigning pity, the other nobles. No one was surprised by my reaction as I was known as the crazy villainess of the nobles. Jealous, shallow, and;
Stupid
As if they weren't like that too.
The sound of my laughter echoed in the large place I came to hate with an overwhelming passion.
I chuckled and wiped tears from her eyes.
"Really? Thats it?" I asked, taunting the Crown Prince
"I expected something more, you know, exciting. Perhaps skinning me alive or burning me at the stake. But beheading?"I looked up at the prince who was looking down at me as if I was a cockroach.
"I can't believe the princess of Delamine could go so low in order to get my attention. You know what, let us just get this over with here, don't you agree?" He said addressing me.
Attention? Really?
"Sur-"
"Wait!" A shrill voice interrupted me.
It was so disgusting I wanted to puke.
"Must we really do this darling? Must we really shed blood for my sake? I am just the unimportant daughter of a Baron."
Everything really must be about you, huh?
The beautiful blonde-haired woman who was standing looked upon Lilian with pity and started to weep. For a second her expression changed while gazing at Lilian. The corners of her mouth twitching ever so slightly.
'You've lost'
"Of course my Erina. You are too kind and naive. She caused you suffer greatly. You should feel happiness and only that" The tone of the Crown Prince became loving and took Erina's hand.
