43 – The Villainess Is Unbalanced
“Then, please make it now.”
“⋯.”
I don’t know how one can feel the urge to cancel an appointment as soon as it is promised. Shael was staring at me eagerly.
“⋯It’s a little late now. We will do it next time.”
“I think my father came to the kitchen to cook for his mother.”
Shael was talking about what happened a while ago. Certainly, it was clear that Duke Jespen had come to the kitchen to cook food for Miss Enella.
But why are you saying that now? Considering Sael’s attitude towards me, it was completely unreasonable to compare me to Duke Jespen.
But I couldn’t refuse Shael’s eager eyes. Instead, she made a suggestion for Shael’s health.
“Actually, I have some leftover cookies from cooking. If you take herbs from the Azbel family’s storage and eat them, I’ll also accept cookies.”
So, if you want to eat something bad for your body, you should eat something good for your body first. Shael frowned at her.
She was Sael who hated bitterness. But she said, Shael nodded her head. It was because she liked sweets more than she hated bitters.
At some point, cookies and herbs were placed in front of Shael. Shael, who looked at the herbs for a while, said.
“⋯⋯Do I really need to eat this?”
“Yes.”
Shael stayed still for a while. At the end of that long wait, it happened when I closed my eyes for a while and then woke up.
The cookie disappeared before I knew it. Of course, the herbs were still in place.
It was obvious who the culprit was.
“⋯I won’t act childishly even for children under the age of 10.”
“What?”
I let out a deep sigh. Then she herself stuffed the herb into her wicked woman’s mouth.

After spending time with Sael like that. Heading to Baslet Street, we finally arrived at the house. It was a day full of extraordinary things.
Meeting her future daughter, and making a strange promise with Sael.
My body is tired. But I didn’t want to fall asleep like this. I sat down at her desk and opened the book Ruel had given me.
A book written by my future self. I could tell by looking at the handwriting. So it was obvious that there were only things that would help me.
Most of them were recipes that Shael would like. In the second half, only the meaningless advice was contained.
ㅡUnconditionally accept and drink the drink Sael gives you.
—-Make lots of desserts for Sael.
⋯
—-When you become the head of household, give up your work and devote all your time to Sael and Ruel.
ㅡ When you receive a love letter from someone, do not ignore it, but punish it with a curse.
The reasons were unknown. Are you telling me to take the drink Sael gives you? What the heck is the reason?
Why did he make so many desserts for Shael? Even now, I’m worried about the bad girl’s health.
If the bad girl gets a vase because she can’t eat dessert, she doesn’t know. But I’ve never heard of anyone getting a vase for that reason.
For now, I skipped the advice I couldn’t understand. And⋯⋯.
This time, it was written with advice that seemed important.
ㅡ Stay away from Clie.

Keep away from Clie. It was written that way for no reason in the book. Is it okay if I write down the reason?
Anyway, that was advice I had to heed. It must be a book that my future self would have written and sent. So I closed the book thinking about what the real meaning of the advice I read earlier would be.
I want to see Ruel again somehow. She wants to achieve her goal of reviving her villain unconditionally.
If that happens, you will be able to see Ruel unconditionally. In fact, if the present differs even slightly from the future, Ruel’s existence may also become unstable.
But that won’t happen. It was a novel with no probability from the characters.
Clie also went back to the past and performed various actions, but her children were the same.
In the first place, the future me must have been convinced for some reason. Otherwise, there was no way Ruel would be sent to the past.
So I was relieved. The book was carefully placed in the magic pouch.
Wow
It was then that the envelope placed in the corner rang. Inside, the bracelet that Clie had given her was ringing.
It was a bracelet that I thought would stop ringing for a while because all the magical energy it had accumulated had disappeared.
So I wouldn’t be contacted anyway, so I put it in an envelope and left it unattended so that they wouldn’t see my room.
The mana gathered before I knew it, and I was able to fulfill my role.
ㅡ Young master Eran. Are you there?
I pondered for a while. The advice I had just read in the book was the reason. Advice to stay away from Clie.
In that case, I wondered if it would be better to ignore even contact. A voice continued to flow from the bracelet.
ㅡYou are there.
It was a confident tone. I was silent. The voice came from the bracelet again.
—-Two days ago, a tea party was held in Count Prarel. There I met Young master’ hidden daughter.
That was completely unbelievable.
You said you met Ruel two days ago?
Thinking about it, there is one strange thing. The duration of the pearl that Ruel used was about 3 days.
The first time Sael and I met Ruel was on a park bench. But then she broke up right away.
After a day like that, I saw it again today. But the time Ruel and I met was only five hours. Where would Ruel be for the rest of the time?
It was something that needed to be investigated in detail.

Duke Jespen was talking to a man. The man was Viscount Gileon. Viscount Gilleon opened his mouth.
“Duke Jespen, I heard rumors that make absolutely no sense.”
“What happened?”
Duke Jespen was carrying a box of cookies. In fact, he didn’t do anything rude like eating cookies when he was talking to someone. But this time it was different.
“Princess Sael and Eran have a hidden daughter, and such absurd rumors have been circulating.”
Duke Jespen nodded his head, as if asking for more.
“From what I heard… A lost child came to the tea party in Countess Prarel. Then he claimed to be the son of Prince Eran and Princess Shael.”
Viscount Gileon took a moment to catch his breath before speaking.
“It is even said that the young child demonstrated the magic of the Azbel family and the arcane magic of the Baslet family.”
But it was obviously a false rumor. It was Viscount Gileon who knew Sael’s personality. It’s hard to believe that she falls in love with someone…
In fact, it is possible to have a child even if there is no love. But… Eran was an aristocrat who only heard good rumors about.
If he had known this in the first place, there would be no way Duke Jespen would have left Eran safe.
Viscount Gileon, expecting this, came to inform Duke Jespen of the rumor. Before he was a noble, he was someone who respected Duke Jespen.
There are bad rumors about my daughter. So it was clear that Duke Jespen would be furious. But he didn’t.
Rather, he was nodding his head. Duke Jespen knew the rumors from the start.
“Duke Jespen?”
“That rumor is fine, so leave it alone.”
Duke Jespen said while eating cookies. Watch the rumors? However, that didn’t make it seem like the rumors were real.
“If rumors are left unattended, the road to marriage will be blocked.”
“It’s okay because Eran is here.”
But it was only an engagement relationship. Gileon knew that even that engagement was due to the wicked woman’s prank. Duke Jespen added,
“Anyway, Sael’s wedding road has been blocked for a long time.”
Because of its personality and stubbornness. Duke Jespen whispered softly. Viscount Gileon said in surprise.
“Then can’t you…?”
“Yes, what you think is pretty much right. I’m going to Enella, so let’s go.”
To prevent Eran’s wedding. That was the reason Gileon thought.
But I have a question. What is Ezran Baslett, the head of the Barslet family, doing without blocking rumors?
Actually, Duke Jespen was weak against rumors. He spends most of his time at the side of his wife, Enella. So he didn’t have much interaction with others.
But as far as Gileon knows, Duke Ezran must listen to rumors. So it begs the question.
What is the reason Duke Ezran remained silent about such rumors blocking Eran’s marriage path? The reason was unknown.
The question didn’t end there. To think that the good Duke Jespen would act like this.
Viscount Gileon simply left the Azbel duchy in doubt.
Duke Jespen was still seated. He smiled at the progress going smoothly.
A smile that would make Duke Jespen look like a black guy. At the same time, he was reminiscing about what had happened a few days ago.
A child who looked exactly like Sael came to visit Duke Jespen. And that child was her own granddaughter. Coming from the future, honestly, it’s impossible…
But Duke Jespen was sure that the child was his granddaughter.
At the same time, my granddaughter asked for several things.
One of those requests was to create a teleportation magic circle towards the zoo. In fact, the teleportation magic circle was prepared from the beginning.
Because he was the Duke of Jespen who traveled with Enella to various places. Once he heard the request, he made the magic circle towards the zoo even bigger.
Turning a blind eye to this rumor was also requested by her granddaughter.
And at the same time as those requests, I gave a cookie to Duke Jespen.
Just thinking about the cookie, Duke Spen reached out for the cookie his granddaughter had given him.
Wagjak-
It’s delicious. It was different from the muffins Shael gave me. To be honest, Duke Jespen’s wife and daughter had no talent for cooking.
The granddaughter was not. Her granddaughter obviously has a talent for cooking. Fortunately, Duke Jespen ate the cookie with relief.
