The Villainess Wants To Live Quietly

Chapter 17

All the dresses, jewelry, and anything else of value I had. It was an all-or-nothing situation anyway.

I wanted Pierre and I had to bet on devouring this huge top in one go. In fact, the biggest bet I made was on a family called Pierre.

They first had to plan something crazy to defraud the Princess's wedding gift.

"Oh my God... It's so beautiful."

Before I knew it, all the women who had arrived came over to look at the gifts I had brought.

As the appraiser assessed that all of these gems were real, their vigilance had disappeared before they knew it.

"I can say without a doubt that these are the best products. It seems like there are also gems I've seen at auctions before mixed in."

"This is really amazing. I can't believe the Young Lady prepared this as a gift,"

"I think this would be good enough to send to the Kingdom of Borsha?"

When a woman said something, the person next to her slapped the other person's hand. The atmosphere was somehow disturbed, but it was something that made the Empress angry.

There was no way the Empress would change her words, and Pierre's mistake in the first place did not go away.

"But right now, a delegation is scheduled to leave for the Kingdom of Borsha at the end of this month. Time is running out. But how can you know ten when you see one?"

The excitement over the beautiful jewelry subsided a little.

I just stood quietly without saying anything to their conversation. Now it was time for someone other than me to step forward.

"Mother."

Princess Penelope, who had kissed me beforehand.

"How about sending these goods to Borsha?"

"Princess!"

The Empress looked back at Princess Penelope with a shocked face. Penelope continued calmly.

"These are items worthy of being sent to the kingdom. "It's small, but each and every piece is made up of precious things. Have you forgotten the prank they played by plating pyrite? Is that possible? There must be clear punishment for mistakes. But it's a pity that there seems to be at least one proper person in Pierre."

Princess Penelope picked up the diamond mandarin duck in her hand turned to me and said.

"I wish the couple success and happiness in the future."

"Yes. Your Highness."

"It's the happiness of a couple..."

The princess made a somewhat sad expression and gently stroked the mandarin duck's head with her fingertips.

The mandarin duck sparkled beautifully in her hands.

"I liked the kind intentions you showed. And I hope the people of Borsha feel the same way, Mother."

"Princess."

"Among the items presented today, I will choose these animal jewels as gifts to send to the Kingdom of Borsha.

The Princess declared while looking around the audience. This is the decision chosen by the Princess, the main character of the wedding. Those who are merely involved have no choice but to follow.

Even the Empress, who still seemed displeased, did not add any more words to her wishes.

"But before that, we need to organize it properly."
