48 – The Villainess Expresses Questions
Chae Ae Aeng—-
The sound of me drawing my sword. At that refreshing sound, Clie looked at me in bewilderment.
But that was only for a moment. I watched Clie carefully at the air flow that changed something.
Dense holy power was hovering around Clie, who had finished grasping the situation before he knew it.
I was nervous. Compared to the faint holy power that blocked my voice earlier, it was an incomparable amount.
And at a speed I couldn’t even recognize, Clie’s holy power wrapped around my body.
I feel the weight. To the point where my body couldn’t move properly.
Clié was smiling again. Even though I’ve drawn my sword, it seems to mean that I’m not much of a threat.
Percussion
Aiming at the body that couldn’t move properly, I put back the sword I had pulled out. Because I was convinced that I shouldn’t fight.
The holy power that Clie possessed was so powerful. Completely different from the original novel.
Perhaps even Duke Jespen would be too much to be Clie’s opponent.
I didn’t select Clie from the beginning with the intention of cutting him down. I was angry, and I picked it up for a little threat.
Now that things are going like this, threats are impossible. Thinking that my life might be in danger, I suddenly control my anger.
It is natural to control your anger in front of a strong person.
First of all, you have to find out the information. When I inserted the sword, Clie also erased his holy power.
“As far as I know, holy power doesn’t have this kind of power.”
“Yes, that’s right. Young master.”
Then what kind of holy power did you use? Clié seemed to understand my question.
“Because I am special.”
Of course it must be special. Because he is the main character of the original novel. Still, that force makes no sense.
Leaving aside the fact that there was no force in the novel, the strength of that force is unusual. So completely out of the blue.
If she had had that kind of brute force in the novel, the novel would have been completed even if the heroine had beaten her villains by herself.
First of all, I felt the need to change the topic. Because the bracelet, the source of Clie’s holy power, is in my magic pouch.
If Clie uses the retrieval magic, he can retrieve the bracelet from anywhere, but he should be able to block the retrieval magic.
Because it was Clie who had her bracelet stolen by Shael in the original novel. Of course he has a bracelet, so I don’t know if there’s a way to break it.
It was said to be very sacred, and it was a bracelet that allowed even imprinters to possess enormous holy power. Breaking it can’t be easy.
But if you have it, wouldn’t it be possible to do something about it?
Anyway, if I ask Clie a question about force, I don’t think he’ll answer.
So she asked Clie.
“⋯⋯Why are you doing this to me and Shael?”
“Why are you so dedicated?”
Without answering my question, Clie asked back. What she is asking is the reason for her devotion. It was easy to see that the object of that devotion was Shael.
“At the banquet hall, and even in this situation…”
Clié, who was blurry at the end, added.
“Even in the past.”
The past. Was it correct that Clie returned as I expected?
Then the past that Clie is talking about right now… Must be the point of view in the original novel.
After speaking, Clie is staring at me in silence. Clie is waiting for my answer.
That’s why I’m devoted to Sael. Eran Baslett in the original novel must have been because of her good nature.
Then what is it for me? I’m not even as nice as Eran Baslett in the novel.
When I read the novel, I just felt interested. To the story of Shael, who can’t even find out why she became a villainess.
Now that you entered the novel?
Of course, if you regenerate the villain, only good things will happen. But she doesn’t have to do it unconditionally.
Because he has the status of being the son of a duke. Even if she abandoned Sael and lived roughly, she could live affluent.
But I won’t. The reason was simple. I spoke clearly to Clie, who was still waiting for my answer.
“Shael is cute. Unlike someone who is like a snail.”
“⋯Puha.”
Clié asked back with a laugh.
“⋯⋯ Where are you looking?”
Certainly, it was a statement that anyone would question. But there are so many reasons I can think of, I can’t even think of them all.
A pitiful battle of pride in a teacup. There are times when I ask for dessert, and there are times when I secretly eat dessert.
He said while pondering over Shael’s actions.
“Everything you do is like that. Oh, and I need to see my daughter.”
Clié looked even more flustered than when I drew my sword earlier.
If you saw Ruel, she would probably think that she might have a hidden daughter ⋯⋯.
Maybe that’s why he looks even more flustered. Of course, it wasn’t much of a concern.
“Now I ask. What happened with the crown prince and the owner of the tower?”
Because it seemed like he hated the crown prince and the owner of the tower, and only wanted to use them. So that was a question.
“They are boring.”
Sick? Maybe he got tired of it and returned. I don’t understand the intent of the answer.
That answer didn’t help me at all.
There were many things I wanted to ask, but I couldn’t.
“⋯.”
Because Shael, who came out of the bathroom before I knew it, was standing next to me. Her face was red.
You must have heard everything I said. In the meantime, I must have come out because I couldn’t stand the shame.
“⋯⋯.”
“⋯?”
Then I was taken aback by Sael’s behavior. Because Shael, who had been thinking for a while, held my hand. Just like she did when Clie was tailing us.
This time he crossed his arms around me. It was the same order as before.
Fortunately, there was no catastrophe in which Shael took out the rope.
Clié, who was watching this closely, opened her mouth.
“I won’t look… next time. Because it doesn’t seem like the time yet.”
Clie said coldly. Then he turned around and started walking. I immediately turned her head to Shael.
The magic circle drawn next to Sael. As soon as she confirmed this, she hurriedly said.
“Oh, please stop.”
“⋯.”
It was Shael who was preparing to strike Clie at the back of her head. I was able to stop it because I found it early.
I couldn’t see Cli before I knew it. Fortunately, it seems that the situation was safely passed.
But⋯⋯.
‘They say they won’t look after you?’
It sounds like a murder notice.
Clié’s weapon is not only the holy power with brute force unlike the original novel.
For one thing, Clie can use the male protagonists, the Mage Tower Master and the Crown Prince.
Since she is the female lead, she must have been favored not only by them but also by many people.
‘Am I ruined?’
I don’t know. No matter how, Sael and I are also descendants of dukes…
You can hold on for a while now. You just have to find a way in it.
I took out the magic pouch and looked at Clie’s bracelet. A bracelet that is the source of Clie’s powerful holy power.
So you should never lose the bracelet, but it’s not even using retrieval magic.
It was clear that he was certain. That the bracelet would never break.
So it’s probably only being used to track me down and talk to me.
If you break this bracelet, you will be able to erase the overwhelming force of the Holy Power…
It was really out of the blue, and it was Clie’s confidence that had the power to the extent that if it had been the original novel, I wouldn’t have felt any probability.
Besides that, I also have a feeling that this bracelet won’t break. I guess I’ll have to find some way.
In the first place, breaking the bracelet is not going to solve the problem. Because Clie had male protagonists who would one day have tremendous power.
So the best solution was to resolve it through dialogue.
“⋯⋯ What are you doing?”
“No.”
I put the bracelet in. I was distracted and took out the bracelet in front of the villainess.
But I didn’t question whether Shael was just as crazy as I was.
“How long will you keep your arms folded…?”
“⋯⋯Ah.”
Shael hurried away from me. She said at the same time.
“⋯⋯You need to explain what happened.”
“Let’s go to the Azbel Mansion.”
There was no way the quick-tempered villainess would accept this. But, unexpectedly, the wicked woman obediently followed my suggestion.
And on the way to the Azbel family street corner. Shael’s sudden drawing of her magic circle spilled her water.
It was directed at me. Originally, it was slower than the magic Shael used, so she was able to avoid it.
“No, what is it all of a sudden?”
“⋯⋯ Are your ears open?”
Answers from Dongmunseo. It wasn’t long before Shael realized what she was talking about.
Shael must have heard the conversation between Clie and me. So…
-‘Shael is cute. Unlike someone who is like a serpent.’
She said so. When I finished thinking, Shael barely opened her mouth to speak.
“⋯⋯ What is this?”
At those words, she recalled her conversation with Clie.
-‘Everything I do is like that.’
Yeah, that’s what I said.
It was clear that the villainess was questioning her remarks.
