The Villainess Whom I Had Served for 13 Years Has Fallen chapter 195

195 – The Fasting Wicked Lady -2-

There were two types of hierarchy in the House of Desmond.

One was social hierarchy.

The other was the hierarchy that the members of the House of Desmond implicitly recognized.

The social hierarchy was a reasonable hierarchy that people would nod their heads to if they heard it. Darbab, the great mage and the lord, was at the top of the hierarchy, and Kyle, the next lord, was second in the hierarchy.

It is said that in ordinary families, the treatment within the family varies greatly depending on their social status.

Like in romance fantasy novels, family members lived while watching the lord’s love.

However, the wicked family was a little different.

– Daddy! Give me food!

– What do you want to eat?

– Meat.

– I want to eat fish today.

– eeek! Meat!

– Sigh. I’ll prepare it with meat.

Because it was the wicked family, the House of Desmond was decided not by social status but by who had the nastier personality.

To be exact, it was about making concessions for the peace of the family, but the members of the House of Desmond accepted this treatment without complaint.

I think the best example would be the young lady.

The young lady called the lord ‘Daddy.’

The highest ranking person in the House of Desmond was Rosanna, the housekeeper of the House of Desmond, who had the full support of the lord and made life very difficult if you didn’t listen to her.

– Dear?

– I’m sorry.

– I didn’t say anything.

– Isn’t it because of the socks?

-That’s right.

The young lady is next.

-Father! Brother! What are you doing?

-Working.

-Work.

-Let’s eat!

-Let’s do that.

-Okay.

Lord Kyle is next.

-Olivia. Wake up at 8 o’clock starting tomorrow.

-No!

-Okay.

Next is Darbab in the order of seniority.

Today’s issue is the second in the order of seniority.

In other words, Darbab was given the difficult task of resolving the change of heart that befell the young lady.

Darbab took a deep breath and worried.

The young lady’s fast was a problem that everyone had to watch nervously.

The young lady, who loves eating the most in the world, is fasting. This problem was something that Darbab, who was the lowest in the order of seniority and the father, should not take lightly.

If the young lady starved, it would naturally reach Rosanna’s ears and a fight would break out between the first and second in seniority.

Darbab, who was at the bottom of the seniority order, didn’t want to get caught in the middle of a fight between whales, so he reacted sensitively. Of course, I brought up this story because I was most worried about the young lady’s health.

Honestly, I didn’t think this was a big problem. As a butler, I often saw the young lady starving.

-Why don’t you eat?

-We’re poor. We have to save money.

-That’s right.

However, Darbab would have seen such a sight for the first time, so I could understand to some extent why he was surprised.

As soon as morning came, Darbab and I sat on the bed and peeked at the young lady dozing off beyond the door.

“Hmm.”

Before breakfast, it was the young lady’s routine to eat the chocolate she had hidden in her treasure pouch.

Today, in particular, a chocolate cake was placed on the bedside table and we were waiting for the young lady’s reaction. If the young lady, who was crazy about chocolate, noticed it, she would be looking at it with a pleasant smile.

-I really won’t eat. Not chocolate, not rice.

-Aren’t you lying? I can understand not eating rice, but not eating chocolate doesn’t make sense. How much the young lady loves chocolate.

-Really.

-…

We watched the young lady, who was rubbing her sleepy eyes and getting up.

“You’re up.”

“Yes.”

Darbab swallowed hard, holding the doorframe tightly.

“Don’t worry. The young lady will eat.”

“Whew…”

The young lady had always loved to eat.

-Heehee, chocolate!

Starting with chocolate, the world’s most beloved food, you have the valiant heart to try anything delicious, even insects or visually shocking things.

When you were young, I was surprised when you told me to try eating a frog. When I heard a rumor that knights ate them as a delicacy while training, I asked you to catch one for me while it was still alive, and at that moment I truly doubted whether you were royalty or a pig.

-Let’s eat some frrrogs, Licarto!

-Yes?

-Let’s sneak out and grill some frogs over a fire. They’re delicious!

-What are you talking about? I’ve never even tried one. No way. I’ve never thought about eating one.

-Why not?

-Because they’re so creepy looking?

-That’s true, but they’re supposed to be tasty.

That’s probably why you’ve maintained your figure.

You were an extremely obese child. Of course, you weren’t so fat that it was unsightly, but you were still chubby. You have a plump figure that makes you look cute when I see you, and you’ve had a hearty appetite since you were young.

Together with Darbab, I observed you.

“Hmm… air raid warning.”

Darbab said with a serious expression.

“You’re worried about the safety of the empire.”

“…”

“She’s my daughter, but her patriotism is too strong.”

“…”

This family is beyond my understanding.

I woke you up once, so I didn’t hear any more air raid warnings. I knew this would happen, so I woke you up just a little and used the bathroom as an excuse to leave.

I waited for you to notice the chocolate cake that I had placed next to the table, anticipating your reaction. If it were the you that I know, you’d definitely eat it as soon as you saw it.

“Hmm. Hmm?”

“Chocolate?!”

“Ooh…”

Before long, you welcomed the cake that was placed on the table, your eyes wide open and a bashful smile beginning to form.

I watched you as you turned your head and glanced around, staring at the chocolate cake on the table, and I said to Darbab in a small voice.

“Do you see it?”

“…Not yet.”

“It looks like you’re about to eat it.”

“Let’s wait and see. My daughter isn’t that weak-willed.”

I asked Darbab a question. Thinking about it, I had never heard the reason why you were fasting. I said, watching you as you locked eyes with the chocolate.

“By the way, master of the house. Why is the young lady fasting?”

“I don’t know.”

“…”

“If I knew, do you think I’d be here?”

I nodded my head in agreement with Darbab’s enthusiastic reply.

‘That’s true.’

You continued your staring contest with the chocolate cake. You kept glaring at the chocolate cake with fierce eyes while sniffing your nose.

“I’m hungry.”

But the words were the end of it and no action was taken. I was sure she was hungry, but my heart ached at the sight of the young lady who was struggling with her eyes tightly shut.

“Uhhh… I shouldn’t eat.”

Why is she acting like that?

Not long after, I found out the reason for the young lady’s fasting.

“I have to go on a diet…”

It all started from a very reasonable reason.

“I can’t gain weight…”

I came to know.

*

Time passed.

It wasn’t a long time of one week, but three hours were slowly passing by.

I was holding lunch in front of the young lady’s bed and looking at the young lady who was picking at her plate with a serious face.

“Licardo.”

“Yes.”

“No.”

The young lady seemed troubled.

I don’t know why she started a one-day diet, but I didn’t feel good about the way the young lady’s mind was changing in many ways.

At first, I wanted to applaud the young lady’s strong will to go on a diet, but I started to worry about the young lady who had been fasting for a whole day.

Of course, it’s a secret that weight goes to a certain area, but I kept my mouth shut and watched the young lady’s gloominess.

“Ha…”

I knew it.

I felt a little sad that the young lady, who lived on the joy of eating, was going on a diet.

I was worried that she might become as thin as paper like Darbab said if she kept going like this.

I cheered her on, but it was clear that cutting off food like this would have a negative effect on her health, so I put meat on a fork and brought it to the young lady’s mouth.

“Airplane, open wide.”

“What’s an airplane?”

“Meat.”

“Hmm”

The young lady kept her mouth shut and shook her head. It seemed like she was trying to block protein from entering her body, so I clenched my fist at the young lady’s upright rebellion.

‘My lady…’

I asked the young lady in a gentle voice.

“Why aren’t you eating? Are you not feeling well?”

“Yes.”

-Gulp.

Hmm. I don’t think that’s it.

I burst out laughing a little and told the young lady. I lied and said the sound just now came from my stomach and asked carefully.

“Even so, it’s good for your health to eat.”

“…”

“Don’t people live to eat? That’s what you used to say.”

“That’s right. But…”

The young lady gazed down at her stomach with a sullen expression. It was a bit chubby, but it was a smooth roundness that didn’t mar the lines of her body. The young lady let out a deep sigh and hung her head, not seeming to have any intention of cheering up.

I gave a small smile, moved the food that I had taken out to the table, and sat down carefully on the side of the bed.

“Young lady.”

“…”

“Young lady.”

“Hmm?”

I smiled and spoke softly into the young lady’s ear, telling her my thoughts on dieting.

“Starving yourself isn’t good for your health.”

“I’m not starving myself. I just don’t feel good, so I’m not eating.”

“You haven’t felt good for two days? Then it seems like you should go to the hospital.”

“…I don’t want to go to the hospital.”

“I heard from the master. You haven’t eaten while I’ve been gone. For an entire day, no less.”

“…”

I looked at the young lady with a worried expression and asked her carefully.

“Why are you doing this? I think you look great right now.”

“No, I’m fat.”

“How are you fat? You’re so pretty and you have a great figure.”

“Really?”

“Of course.”

“Really?”

The young lady turned her head away abruptly and said in a sullen voice.

“No, I’ve gained weight.”

The young lady was clearly upset about something. I figured that someone must have said something hurtful to her.

I felt terrible seeing the young lady, who was usually so unaffected, looking so wounded, so I asked her in a voice that hid my irritation.

“Who said that?”

I hid my cold-heartedness.

If someone had told the young lady that she had gained weight, I would put an end to their beautiful life with a brick. I asked in a gentle voice, hiding my dark murderous intent, but the young lady shook her head vehemently, putting an end to my dark thoughts.

“No one said anything. I just suddenly feel like I’ve gained weight.”

I shook my head at the young lady’s sullen expression and asked again.

“I don’t think so.”

“No, I really did.”

“Hmm…”

I spoke my honest thoughts.

“I’ve never seen anyone as pretty as you.”

“I know.”

“You’re very confident.”

“It’s bad luck to pretend you don’t know you’re pretty.”

“hahahahaha… That’s true. Like how I’m handsome.”

“That’s just being a narcissist.”

“…”

“It’s hard to hear a compliment.” The lady’s iron wall made me swallow my saliva with a wry smile.

“Still, I wish you hadn’t dieted.”

“Why?”

“Because you’re pretty right now.”

“…”

The lady clenched her fists and looked up at me.

“How pretty?”

I made a big circle with my hand and spoke like a child.

“This much?”

“Is that all?”

“No. It’s thisss much more.”

“hehehe.”

The lady covered her mouth and looked at me with a smile. The anxiety in her heart seemed to have eased a little, and she looked at me with a relaxed expression, her eyes wide open like a puppy’s.

“I see.”

What? A normal smile.

My heart skipped a beat at the lady’s smile.

The lady looked at me with a small smile. Then she closed her eyes and opened her mouth, waiting for me to feed her.

“Open wide.”

“I’ll give you carrots with it.”

“I don’t like carrots.”

“No, you have to.”

I used my fork to pick up the meat and feed it to the lady’s mouth. By the time I finished the plate, the lady wiped her lips and patted her full stomach.

“Do you think you’ll gain weight now?”

From Noble mtl dot com

“Yeah. It seems like dieting and I aren’t close.”

“I think so too.”

“I’m not going to do it anymore.”

I sat down next to the lady and asked,

“So why were you going to diet?”

“Well…”

The lady turned around and took out a magazine from the drawer next to the bed. She pointed to a picture of a woman with her finger and said,

“I wanted to wear this.”

“…?”

I smiled and thought to myself,

‘Damn it.’

The lady was pointing at a swimsuit.

She was pointing at a black swimsuit that revealed her voluptuous breasts and smiling shyly.

“But I’ll wear it later.”

As expected, timing is important in life.
