So I've reincarnated as Mielle Roscente!

16. So I've Been Under Suspicion

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME...

"Without reporting to anyone, you took a broken carriage and almost caused an accident didn't you?!" The Countess, Aria's mother loudly yelled in front of a servant.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I did not even have a day of rest, and here I am- standing amidst a crisis between Aria and the whole world... all over again.

Fuuccckkk... To recap the whole situation, just a few moments after I entered the Roscente manor haggardly, I wanted to head back to my room. But in a few minutes, the Countess- Aria's biological mummy called all of the servants to the center hall of the mansion.

So, since the Countess was calling down everyone, and I was already around in the square perimeter- I had to be there. By obligation.

So what in the world is going on anyway?

"I am the Countess of the mansion! So while my husband is gone, I am in charge!" Carin ordered around. "So where were you?" She pointed at a servant angrily.

"...It happened too suddenly, I believed I took the wrong carriage by accident." The servant responded back.

"So you're saying its the Carriage manager's fault?!" The Countess interrogated the servant.

"N-No! The broken carriages are kept in a different place! Everyone knows that they are in a separate building!" Another servant, who was probably the carriage manager responded back.

Just what is going on... from the sound of it, it looks like some drama to me. Was this in the novel, perhaps? If so, I don't exactly remember the details.

"Mother..." Aria intercepted, "the one in charge of servants is the butler..."

The Countess took the word and pointed her fan to the butler to implore him. The sturdy tall middle-aged man who looked to be the butler of the Roscente mansion looked confused as he said,

"...I've worked in this mansion for thirty years. Much to my embarrassment I have not heard of this incident until now. My apologies, I have no excuses." The butler bowed down in embarrassment and looked sincere.

Gossip started around the mansions, and the maids behind the butler started to chatter.

I looked at Aria's face in confusion, just what was she trying to do? A carriage accident? What?

Oh! Right. That makes sense, Aria left the manor today with a Roscente carriage. And incidentally, I had also witnessed that she had taken another carriage back home. So what happened to the Roscente carriage that had carried her?

"He's always done his job well, there is no need to be suspicious of him." Aria told her mother. "It would seem that someone disliked me, and planned to hid it... from him."

Ah...

So that's what's going on. How could I be so stupid? I merely almost forgot that I was the major antagonist in this novel. So how could I be so humble and leave the drama? Afterall, fate dictates that I must be involved.

Why wouldn't Aria be suspicious of me right now. After all, the person that was trying to harm her the most was Mielle Roscente.

Ugh!!

But I didn't do it! I swear! I really had no idea what is going on! I nearly just broke my backbone today, and now there was this!

Then who was it? Damn it, wasn't it Mielle Roscente who did this in the original timeline! God-damnit, if I didn't get involved, then was it? Oh no. Aria isn't planning to pin it all on me right?

I mean she isn't wrong. Her suspicions are correct, but not at the same time. The original Mielle would have done this 100%. But I wasn't the original Mielle. No... then who was it?
