37 – There’s nothing I can do about the wicked woman
The crown prince is glaring at me. And Clee sitting next to him.
I can’t even open my mouth easily in the eerie atmosphere. He forced his mouth to open and said.
“⋯First of all, this.”
I handed the medicine box to Clie. It contains the medicines Clie asked me to do.
Then the prince looked at it with his eyes wide open.
“What kind of barrel is that?”
“⋯.”
Cli was quiet. As if you don’t want to talk about the disease.
Could it be that the prince doesn’t know about Clie’s illness?
In the original work, it starts by informing the male protagonists about the illness, but since Clie has undergone numerous changes, this may have changed as well.
Still, I couldn’t help it.
If you don’t get the medicine on time, it could be a big deal.
I could take advantage of the opportunity when the crown prince is gone to deliver the medicine, but that would be impossible.
It was because the crown prince seemed determined to follow Clie around for today.
But the words that came out of Clie’s mouth made me panic.
“A medicine cabinet.”
“Is it because of blood clotting disease? Why don’t you ask me?”
The Crown Prince knows about Clie’s illness.
Then I don’t know why Clie asked me for medicine.
But looking at Clie’s expression, I was able to guess roughly.
Although he remained expressionless, a ray of anger was revealed.
If Clie was a regression, it was clear that he had something in the future.
Once I got up from my seat.
It was because the prince’s eyes moved to me before I knew it.
It’s not good to bump into that bad-tempered male lead for no reason.
I just wished good luck to Clie, who was going through a hard time.
“Oh, be careful!”
Clee said. Clie, who had been expressionless for a while because of the prince, was back to normal before he knew it.
To be honest, I really want to find out through conversation whether Clie has regressed as I expected, but…
Today didn’t seem like the right time.
However, in the original work, the main character, Clie, and the villain, Shael, were often intertwined.
It is said that Clie has changed a lot from the original, but there is no way that the development seen in the book will be completely reversed.
So the opportunity will come again.
“⋯I will see you soon.”
Similarly to my thoughts, Clie said.
But is it okay to say this in front of the crown prince?
For now, I left my seat without questioning it.
Now it was my turn to go to Shael as usual.
* * *
“⋯⋯What is it?”
Princess, the crown prince had troubled me, but this time it was Shael.
I thought I was going to spend time in Shael’s room as usual…
Suddenly, Shael sat me down at her desk. She left the paper in front of her desk.
“Write down the dessert recipe.”
The villainess was making outrageous demands on me. There was no way I could grant that request.
How did you catch the villain’s weakness? I couldn’t give it away easily.
If she gives the recipe to the villainess… She will no longer be able to control her witch with her desserts.
“I don’t like it.”
Strongly rejected. If it was Shael here, it was obvious that she would keep asking for it. As usual.
But this time it was different.
“Yes.”
As soon as I refused, Shael tore up her paper. It was a quick give-up for a villain.
Abandoning the recipe for the dessert you loved so much⋯ so quickly?
However, Shael whispered softly so that I could not hear. But I could hear
It was thanks to a habit I had been carrying on for some time.
Whenever the wicked woman does something to me, she has habitually used magic to amplify her senses.
“⋯⋯Then, I can’t help it.”
⋯⋯ What?
Before I could express my question, Shael spoke.
“⋯⋯Go to sleep.”
“Yes?”
“⋯Now.”
Sleep?
Come to think of it, in the original novel, Eran Baslet died from the poison Sael used.
I get anxious without knowing why. In fact, compared to the novels, the current villain is really kind, but…
If my life depends on it, the story will be different.
Couldn’t you be trying to poison me while I’m sleeping?
I can’t believe it, but when I suddenly ordered him to sleep, all sorts of thoughts come to mind.
Apparently, Sael heard Clie’s voice coming from her bracelet yesterday.
She thought she had barely gotten over it, but it was clear that she was going to punish her today.
I immediately opened the magic bag. Desserts for Shael were piled up today as well.
To be exact, the desserts that will cool Sael’s anger.
Deserts were brought out to the table. It was urgent, so there were many desserts on the table before I knew it.
There was nothing more to take out of the magic pouch.
“⋯What are you doing?”
“Please eat.”
I urged Sael to eat dessert.
After tilting her head for a moment, Shael nodded her head and started eating dessert.
Fortunately, I feel relieved that the situation turned out well.
But on second thought, I think I brought out too many desserts.
Shael was happily enjoying it…
Even if you look at it, she’d get sick if she ate it all by herself. In the first place, sweets can’t be good for the body.
I also reached out to eat dessert.
“Leave your hands.”
That’s what Shael said before I even reached the dessert. Staring at my hand
⋯I gave it to you, but you can’t even eat it?
No matter how bad she is, she was too much.
“These are the ones I made, aren’t they too much?”
At my words, Shael shook her head in disapproval. She even put things away in front of me.
The wicked woman looks disgusted by doing that.
Before Shael could stop me, she quickly picked up one of her cookies.
But the cookie never went into my mouth.
Fire!
Cookies burned. Suddenly, the cookie disappeared without even leaving any powder behind.
“⋯.”
Anyway, it seemed like he taught me magic. Do you use magic in a place like this?
But it was an amazing skill. Casting a spell on a distant object must be quite difficult.
It seems that Shael has grown tremendously in a short period of time.
When I try to move my hand to find another cookie.
“⋯⋯?”
Suddenly, the desserts were gone. It was amazing speed. Several times faster than usual.
Actually, the speed at which Shael ate was not that fast.
It was clear that he ate in a hurry because he didn’t want to give me anything.
⋯⋯ How did you do this? Obviously, it wasn’t like this the last time they gave me dessert.
When I touch the dessert, they just send me a look that I can’t trust them, but I didn’t stop them like this.
It was an act of a wicked woman that was hard to guess.
The next thing the evil woman did was the same.
Shael was handing me a tool from her.
It was a magical tool that provided air containing a bit more magic when held against the face.
I got it on a whim, but I couldn’t figure out why.
Could it be for my health?
I told Shael right away.
“Could it be that you gave it because you were concerned about my health?”
Of course, that couldn’t be the case.
After thinking about my words for a while, Shael spoke.
“I gave it to you because I don’t want to breathe the same air, so please be quiet.”
“⋯⋯Ah, yes.”
He used the magic tool as he wished. Getting revenge on the wicked woman was a bonus.
“I don’t like that either, so I will use it.”
Now it was time to look at the evil woman’s expression. However, she couldn’t see the evil woman’s angry expression.
Rather, Sael, she was putting on an expression as if she had won.
I didn’t have anything more to say to Shael.
It was the first time I was defeated by a villain.
During a moment of silence, Shael raised her head as if he remembered something about her.
“Go to sleep now.”
It was a start again. He sighed heavily and asked Shael directly.
“⋯What do you keep trying to do while I sleep?”
“⋯.”
Shael did not respond to my words. Shael was just heading to her own bed.
“⋯I’ll sleep too, then it’ll be fine, right?”
“⋯⋯ Yes?”
Without hearing her answer from me, Shael laid down on her bed and closed her eyes.
Shael was really sleeping. However, as Shael said, I also slept.
You never know what will happen. Maybe, I will never be able to wake up forever.
It was obvious that something bad would happen.
After looking at Shael for a while, I looked around her room. A piece of paper fell beside Shael’s bed.
Many things were written on the paper.
It wasn’t Sael’s handwriting. However, she was able to see that she had a stamp showing her identity as the pharmacist of the Azbel family.
ㅡSleep a lot.
ㅡDrink the air filled with pure magical energy.
⋯
ㅡ Avoid sweets.
There are several lines written on it. Even if you look at it, only good deeds for the body were written.
It was clear that the pharmacist wrote it down for Shael, who had no interest in my health.
I could also see the actions Sael recommended to me, but…
It must have been a coincidence. Because the villainess couldn’t care about my health.
I saw Shael sleeping. She lowered her gaze to the paper once more and looked at Shael.
Before I knew it, Shael was disobeying her pharmacist’s advice.
ㅡ Always keep your body warm.
The doll is hugging, but the blanket is not covering it at all. Come to think of it, I ate a lot of sweets too.
He covered Shael with a blanket. And then, a thought occurred to me.
It’s so filthy that not listening to people is like a villainess.
