My Life as a Villain

Chapter 06

"Earlier, when I was walking Miss Emerald out the door...... she complimented me on my dress. At the time, I thought it was just a compliment, and I was happy......"

Venice fiddled with the hem of her dress. The dress she was wearing today was bought for her by Caspian, who wanted her to wear it at his wedding.

She'd resisted the idea of wearing a white dress to a wedding, but Caspian had begged her, saying, "This is ivory, not white."

Besides, Emerald's dress is white with a lot of gold threads, so it's a lot more glamorous than this dress, so she thought it would be okay to wear something more modest.

But if Emerald's compliment, "Your dress looks great on you," was meant to be sarcastic, she must have looked funny for grinning widely in front of her without realizing what she really meant.

"Do you think Miss Emerald was offended?"

Caspian gritted his teeth at the mention of Venice's dress.

'How cowardly to talk to the powerless Venice, when you know very well that it was Blakeford's family who prepared her dress......'

But Caspian couldn't see Venice's heartbreak at the mention of this.

"No way. Given the dress she was wearing today, there was no way she'd be sensitive about your dress."

"Oh, Miss Emerald was so pretty today, so sparkly and......."

"She looked vulgar."

"What do you mean, Caspian, how can you call your own wife vulgar?" Venice asked, looking shocked.

Caspian quickly calmed his ferocity. "I'm sorry, that was a harsh word to use in front of you."

"Your apology should not be to me, but to Miss Emerald! Don't you even feel sorry for her? She's come here alone, where she doesn't know anyone, trusting only you, and you're supposed to look after her."

But Venice's concern for Emerald broke Caspian's heart.

He grabbed her wrist and asked in a low voice, "Did you mean what you said?"

"Caspian......!"

"You're mean, Venice. Do you really have no idea how I got through today......?"

Venice's blue eyes trembled uneasily.

Caspian was sure she knew his heart.

Venice was someone who could not express any opinion about this marriage. Maybe this was her way of trying to soothe his heart.

"Venice......"

"Caspian, I'm...... I'm......"

As Venice was at a loss for words, Caspian lifted her chin, the look of surprise on her face was adorable.

How comforting it was to see such sweetness and innocence, like spring sunshine.

Caspian slowly brought his lips to hers.

"Vanice!"

If it weren't for the interruption, Caspian might have been able to kiss her.

"L- Luxus!"

Pulling away from Caspian, Venice waved at Luxus with an awkward smile.

"That guy is really......" Caspian growled lowly, but Venice pretended not to hear.

And then Luxus who had ruined Caspian's precious moment walked over, looking as if he hadn't seen the two about to kiss at all.

"I'm surprised you're not in your room. It's late at night, but Caspian, why are you out here, leaving the bride alone?"
