I Am The Last Villainess He Has To Kill

Chapter 105: Decided To Live

Chapter 105 – Decided To Live

The next morning, Bella was afraid to go back into her room. Still, since she had work to do, she couldn't help but trudge and shuffle her feet to open the door.

“She came!”

“Tell me quickly!”

“Did you really kiss the Young Master?”

“How to eat and…”

Bella closed the door again the moment after she saw the demons flying like a swarm of bees toward her.

‘Haa… They're persistent.'

She knew it would be like this. The guards also talked about the Prince's visit last night with their eyes.

“Is it true?”

“I heard it.”

Then, they turned their heads away as she looked at each of the guards.

‘It's twisted anyway… There's no need for me to keep quiet.'

Bella opened the door again.

“Mi—!”

“Shut up, everyone.”

Regardless of what the guards beside her thought of her, they turned their necks around.

“From now on, I’m going to divide the first one among you to speak into four.”

The quick-witted Jenkins and Iwer forced their hands to their lips, and Pur, which took a while to understand, tilted her head.

“What do you mean?”

“Huh. Zanbar wins.”

Bella cut Zanbar into equal parts after a while. Even though the guards’ pupils widened as they couldn't keep their mouths shut, Zanbar crawled on unscathed.

“Do you think I will just let you go?”

Saying so, she picked up one of his quartered bodies and threw them at the guards.

“Keep it well. Until I come out.”

Bella showed off her sincere smile for the first time in a while.

She tied her hair up roughly and walked down the aisle to join the imperial tea party.

“Well, Miss…”

"Shh. Close your mouth.”

Although Jenkins kept trying to talk to her in the middle, Bella blocked him immediately.

‘They are terribly persistent. I'll go over it a bit.’

Just before arriving at the garden where the tea party would be held, someone blocked her way.

“Miss. Long time no see.”

It was the silver hairtail, Juan Cruelle.

“Yes. Long time no see.”

Even though she usually said that it was a pleasure to meet out of courtesy, Bella didn't say anything empty.

“Aren’t you surprised?”

“Well, not exactly…”

She knew.

Juan Cruelle was the guard standing next to Rosanne, prowling everywhere. She couldn't have been unaware of his presence. She knew that sometimes he would follow her from behind, but she didn't really care.

The first reason was that she didn't want to be involved in a novel, whatever it was. And the second reason was that the young ladies following her were more troublesome than Juan.

“What’s wrong?”

Soon, Juan came closer and put his arm behind her head as if to hug her.

‘…What is this b*stard doing?’

In a second, as he pulled out the hairpin that had tied her hair up, her long hair, which had been tied up, was undone.

“It looked like the back of the dress was torn a lot.”

“Ah…”

Looking back, she remembered the day she spread her wings.

“I tried not to show it, but no one seemed to be talking about it.”

As Jenkins looked away, he tried to tell her though he couldn't because Bella kept telling him to ‘shut up'.

Juan looked down at Bella.

“I am very glad to see you. Does the Miss feel the same, too?”

“No…”

“You gave a blank paper during the first contest.”

“What?”

“If you want to run away—”

He grabbed Bella's long hair and kissed her hair, glancing at her seductively.

“…I can help anytime.”

When she showed up, he intended to spit out a temptation that could shake Bella and go, but she had other thoughts before his temptation.

‘I didn’t wash my hair…’

She then slightly raised her head and looked at Juan.

‘Anyway, it's fun.'

If she had heard this before yesterday, she might have been tempted. Of course, in order to escape, she had to take her heart from Kiehl, and since she had already failed, she would have been tempted.

“Sir Juan Cruelle.”

Bella flicked a finger over Juan's hand, which grabbed her hair. Juan almost let out an ‘ah’ at the moment. It was because her strength was no joke.

“The next time you see me, call me Crown Princess.”

“….”

“Don’t call me Miss.”

Saying so, she glanced at Juan and walked forward.

After hearing Juan's proposal, she felt more confident that this novel could not go back already. It was not just because of what happened yesterday since she accepted yesterday that it was not the same as the original story.

‘Yes. It wouldn't be bad to be at the pinnacle of power since it's like this.'

Things in the distant future, she just decided to think about it later.

‘I just need to make memories that will last the remaining time.'

Like when she was living with Kiehl at the mansion, it was a wiser decision to enjoy the time they were together now.

And…

‘I should stop putting up with it now.'

She decided to live her life as she could now. In addition, she would never again participate in the ladies’ gathering.

‘I need to take care of that Rohan. Because of him, there was no physical touch Kiehl needed in the novel.’

She was thinking of finding everyone who twisted the novel and taking revenge. Except for herself, of course, so that way, he would have no regrets for the rest of her life.

‘As demons can be harassed for the rest of their lives, I'll find humans first and give them hell.'

As Bella made up her mind, she asked Jenkins.

“By the way, Jenkins. Why didn’t you tell me about the torn dress?”

“Miss… I tried to say it several times, but every time you told me to shut up.”

“At that time, you should speak with the determination to die.”

“That’s why Pur kept pointing at your back earlier.”

She was actually asking for him to be scolded. Then, Bella looked at Jenkins with a slightly surprised face.

“Ah… That wasn’t dancing?”

“What fool dances like that.”

“Pur…?”

It was so true that Jenkins didn't argue further.

“Yes. I will write it on paper and give it to you from now on.”

The tea party held at the Imperial Palace was on a different level from the party Bella prepared at the Cruelle family.

‘And…’

She didn't have to decorate with flowers, it was in the open garden of the Imperial Palace, and expensive desserts were prepared on dozens of tables.

‘Oh my god… Isn't that a chocolate fountain?'

As she gulped down her saliva, Jenkins nudged her in the side.

“Miss, this is a bit normal. Please close your mouth.”

“Khhm khhm.”

In the second round of the contest, maybe five were filtered out, so there were only a few ladies who she was familiar with, and most of them looked like bureaucrats.

“Is that Rinne?”

“Yes. In a wizard uniform.”

“She looks like a real wizard when she dresses like that.”

“Do you think of her as a fake wizard usually?”

“I've hardly ever seen her use magic. Does she really deserve to be a great wizard?”

Jenkins glanced down at Bella and shook his head.

“Now, if someone attacks here, the only person who can be a shield is Rinne, right?”

“I can do it, too.”

“Miss will protect herself. For Rinne, since she is the Young Master’s escort, she can accurately set up a shield even from a distance.”

At those words, Bella tilted her head.

“Then, why didn't she put a shield on Kiehl when there was an explosion not too long ago?”

“Well, she must have been doing something else. Didn't Miss just throw your body because you weren’t confident?"

“It's not because I’m not confident.”

She really ran because she was afraid Kiehl was in danger.

“Anyway, if you're going to stay here, Miss, learn to control yourself.”

“Ugh, don’t nag. Don’t you have any pleasure in life besides that?”

While Bella and Jenkins were bickering, a familiar voice came between them.

“What are you doing here?”

“Young Master, you came just in time. Please tell Miss to learn magic, too.”

“It’s up to Bella.”

As Bella turned her head slightly to the left, Kiehl's lips were the first thing she saw.

‘I…I must be crazy.'

Come to think of it, it was the first time they’d run into each other since she ran away like that yesterday. Bella scrambled her head as to what to say.

“Bella, I will tell you what I said yesterday.”

Bella tried to look back at Kiehl.

“…Uh.”

“Will you come by my side then?”

“Uh… huh.”

A cold sweat ran down her back.

Let's make memories that would last the rest of the time. As long as they were together, they would be happy… It was easy to say, but her blushing face blocked her mouth and body.

‘Why can't I see your face like this?'

Bella replied stiffly.

“Ah. I’ll.go.eat.choco.late.”

Unaware that her arms and legs moved at the same time, she headed for the chocolate fountain she had her eye on.

Looking at Bella's back, Kiehl just smiled while Jenkins frowned.

“Miss, why are you like that?”

“Well…”

“Yesterday, did the two of you really—”

Jenkins covered his mouth with his hand, alternating between Kiehl and Bella.

“Don’t say that Miss is now… embarrassed, is she?”

“Cute….”

“Did the sun rise from the west today?”

* * *

After a certain number of people gathered at the tea party, Kiehl listed the main reasons he held the tea party.

“Thank you all for coming.”

The biggest thing was the exchange with the FIie Kingdom. There was also a delegation from the Fire Kingdom. On the surface, it seemed like a place to get acquainted with each other, but in reality, it was intended to decide which family to take charge of exchanges.

And although it wasn't planned, he shared the good news he got last night.

“…And the contest was postponed because of the accident.”

Everyone looked up at Kiehl, as they hadn't thought that the matter about the contest would come out now.

“Is there a need for a third contest? It’s my choice anyway.”

Everyone started to mumble.

Obviously, the choice would be made by the Crown Prince, but wasn’t it taking time to make a careful choice?

“I decided with Lady Bellatrice Cruelle.”

People whispered louder.

Given Bella's fame, most would readily agree. However, it was somewhat unacceptable to the Merken family and their group.

“Your, Your Highness. Pl, please think about that a bit more…”

“I've thought enough.”

“Lady Cruelle is from another world. Won’t she leave anytime?”

The Duke put his logic to good use.

“If you look at history, there are many cases where people from another world return without regard to their will.”

“Duke Merken is right. Is there any special reason to make Lady Cruelle the Crown Princess?”

At that, everyone held their breath and looked at Kiehl.

‘Because I love her…’

…Was what he’d like to say though that was not the answer they wanted.

The next moment, Bella's voice was heard loudly in the stillness.

“…Because I'm pretty?”

Behind Bella, Jenkins frowned, ashamed of his master.
