I Am Troubled That My Fiance Is a Villain

Returning to the dorm feeling stuffy, Clarissa worried me.

Thank you, because it's not a food hit. He thinks it's about me that's why I'm so pale.

I would have liked at least something more, an anemia or a girly one. Though it's pretty prejudicial that anaemia looks like a girl.

"Hey, Clarissa. You know Mr. Lila Carnail."

"Yes."

"Do you know any rumors or anything about her?

"Rumors..."

No, I tried to ask, but did I ask you a little too openly? Some girls say they took Bern.

Well, I don't care because I was originally far-winded at the point of getting along with that sibling, or that sounds like what they're saying.

"Somehow I just wondered what Mr. Lyla was like - it doesn't mean anything strange."

I wonder what it is. I feel like this means digging a grave.

Clarissa laughed a little at me in a hurry like an idiot by herself and started talking quietly.

"... As a matter of fact, someone harassed Lila when she became close to Mr. Aloys and Mr. Johan."

I'm sorry, Clarissa. No, I didn't think so. You were surprisingly informative.

The talk of harassment is the first time, but I still think so.

When it comes to harassment being more normal, it's a bit of a bad story, but people can't live with all the beauty.

"Harassment?

"They packed animal carcasses in boxes and sent them."

Animals... That seems like another radical person.

Either I'm an animal patron, so I hope the person hasn't killed the animal just for harassment.

Or is it possible that the harassment itself is Lyla's selfie?

I think that makes it a little easier to talk.

"But after about a year, I suddenly started supporting Mr. Lyla, and vice versa, taking care not to bully other courtiers."

"Yes!?

"You said he was making a boring mistake."

Such an idiot.

Clarissa seemed to have the same idea and did not hesitate.

Then she let her gaze drift to get lost in something, opening and closing her mouth several times. Waiting still, he looked up as if he had made up his mind.

"But I don't think Lila has done anything. You really should be aware... maybe it's like Aloys"

Clarissa's face, illuminated red by the sunset as she plugged through the window, looked kind of very sad.

What I feared finally came, and at that time everyone thought.

Sweet for Katerina's words, I was still having lunch with them today, but once again Katerina dropped the bomb.

"Lizzie, you're in the same grade as Lila."

Katerina let go with a stare at the steak. That one word stood still the members surrounding the table together as if by magic.

"Yes, sir"

"After school, will you hold her back because we need to talk?

The meat caught on the fork fell. But now no one frowns at it. Because there was an imminent crisis ahead of us.

"By that, are you talking to His Highness?

"That's it, too."

I thought it was time to come... Because in the game it was about time to start clashing with Katerina.

I'm not supposed to be the only one with Katerina's blue eyes seemingly burning in her fighting spirit.

In the old Caterina there was something forceful about not listening to people.

But although Katerina is pride now, she listens to people properly, and slapping them with that fan is the only person close to her. Katerina is not a child anymore, either, so much so that she slaps without sight as she used to.

I'm ashamed to say so myself that she could have, but I think it's probably because I existed.

Because until I met her, she'd never been decent with a kid her age.

He was banned by both the Dukes and his wife from Bern, who was the only one who should have been able to deal with him at the same age. After getting along with me, Katerina was able to learn how to deal with people by sneaking up on the three of us at my mansion.

If it hadn't been for it, she might have become the game's villain warrant lady Katerina herself.

Although I feel a little proud, it was only natural because she just didn't know how to deal with it and the roots were honest and gentle.

But it hasn't changed that her essence is direct and she doesn't like the exploration of her belly.

Perhaps Katerina is going to give Lila a nail to be square and ask her why she approaches Her Royal Highness and says she has a fiancé named herself.

But if Lyla is who I think she is, she can't win in Katerina. Rather, the situation could get worse at once.

Even I want to tell His Highness and Lyla something, so I know exactly how I feel, but Lyla had some sort of, yes, bottomless horror.

Besides, I'm also curious what Clarissa told me yesterday at the dorm.

"No!

In view of the above, there is no alternative to stopping Katerina.

Katerina gave me a grumpy look at how strong I was at all times.

"Don't worry, I won't do anything unworthy as your fiancée."

"That's not what I meant"

I can't exactly say it's out of Katerina's hands, and there's an unexpected help boat for me with my mouth.

I wouldn't recommend it either.

Katerina's gaze on Ionias. It relieves her unconsciously. How can you be so nervous when you are seen directly from the front by a beauty?

"Why?"

"Katerina, this is more troublesome than you think. Will you spare me this time?"

The two hung out for a while, but it was unexpectedly Katerina that broke first.

Apparently Ionias has won Katerina's credibility more than I thought. This is the situation, but I also feel a little lonely.

"... ok. Your Highness would also like to be as free to do many things at school. I have a little extra..."

Round your eyes to words you don't think Caterina is. I thought she was still snooping at Her Royal Highness. As far as this goes, it doesn't seem to be dominated by jealousy of Lyla.

Yeah, but I'm really glad Katerina declared war properly, not a guerrilla attack.

Well, she's not so far-fetched as to be on her own either, so I was sure she'd take me and the Ionias.

"Besides, what does your brother say you're doing? Leave Lizzie alone. Lizzie's Lizzie, too. Aren't you sorry? I'm angry about this, too!

"It's..."

It's not fine. I want to think there must be some reason. But it would be a lie if I said I wasn't afraid to know why. I would have been such a pain in the ass.

When it comes to Bern, I always get timid.

I know he likes me, and I'm not the one who said it right, but of course I like him, too. We also have a relationship as fiancées. I think that's why I'm scared. The loss of Bern.

'Cause you don't have a choice. He looks so good, he's a future duke, but he's a good place to come with me, too, Ping. Besides, this is the first time he's made a decent love, including in his previous life.

I leaned down and Darius said to me, in a frustrating manner.

"Hey, Lizzie. Are you and Brunsmeyer getting along properly?

I just don't eat dinner with you, I go to and from school with you everyday ~. I'm only with you in the morning because Bern has been busy lately, and the fact that I can't complain about chicken is just too close to school and dorms ~.

Oh, I'm getting vain saying it myself...

"How does that relate to Darius?

In retrospect, Darius shrugged his shoulders with great admiration. He was like a weird foreigner on a late-night street show. It doesn't make sense to him if I say so.

"I need you to catch Brunsmeyer, or I'm in trouble."

"Huh?"

"Fine, make it up to me. Even though he hates me, he hates me even more if I stay like this."

I mean, they hate me, or I've never seen Darius and Bern in the same space. Or do you mean I just don't know?

Yeah, but we have to make up... I'm not arguing. Uh-huh.

I've been trying to get busy at the back student club lately, and when I tried to go get Bern, who I hadn't been able to come home with, I got caught the other way around. Does Bern even have psychic powers?

Back student club room? I mean, they take me to the art prep room that's all over the place.

There is a sweet, dusty smell of old trees in the deserted room.

The always busy art prep room with members who talk about small difficulties and chess was quiet and no-one was there today.

Does that mean Bern wanted to talk to me, too, and paid for it?

I don't want to hear it if it's a bad story. No way, goodbye... No, no, no, that's just not it. Bern is not such a scumbag. I believe you!

All right, this is a pre-emptive strike! Never mind. I open my mouth.

"You know, what about Bern's recent lunch with His Highness..."

"Are you mad?

"... nothing"

I got a tougher voice than I thought I would.

How about that, Lizzie? Be honest. Yes, honestly.

... but I'm also willing to be a little mean but not punishable.

"... not angry"

"I'm sorry."

Ugh. Honestly, I look sad in Bern, or I'm so weak on this soggy face. No, but I'm not such a choroy woman. I didn't say no.

Being lost in the words I call, Bern lowered his brow butt and spoke out with a sorry looking face.

"I was wondering if I could do enough to see how things were going once, because it was going to be more trouble than I expected. In the meantime, I wanted to figure out what they were in."

It must be about Lyla and the others, but I don't know what to tell.

"I mean, you were with His Highness for that discernment?

"Yeah, well..."

"Why didn't you tell me?

Bern stares at me. What? What?

"Did you miss me?

Are you really reflecting, this guy? I might have come a little frustrated in a while.

"No, so..."

"Did you miss me?

I'm out, Bern Pace. I don't have any more ownership of the conversation than this has happened already.

Did I miss you? Well, I missed you. 'Cause you're lonely enough to just go to school, which is so short to face each other every day! Plus, I'm so sleepy in the morning!

I thought I'd give him a shoulder pan because I honestly snort, but I didn't think he was too cute, so I thought to myself.

Yes. Be honest, Lizzie. Honestly.

"... I missed you."

My face is kind of hot. I'm sure summer has arrived already.

From above his leaning head, he laughed delightfully. Bern seems to feel unusual and mean today.

Why am I being mean? Isn't that the other way around? Or so I thought, Bern has looked at me like he wants to open his hands.

When I allowed him to give me a hug, I was slowly hugged when I nodded to Eagle Deep.

Mm-hmm. Stiff.

"I missed you, too. Even though I had no choice, it wasn't much fun, you're as usual, Ionias tells me to make up for it, and most importantly, I didn't care how much Venor's guy wandered around you."

"Yeah, but it's Darius, right?

"That's a pain in the ass, okay?"

The sound of the heart rings in the back of my ear, carving the heartbeat and intricate rhythm that I hear from my face's chest. Tracked through and outrun, gradually in tune with the same speed, turning into something as comfortable as a part of a single machine.

It was a strange feeling, like losing the boundaries of my body from the touch.

"... I need you to ask Lizzie something"

"What?"

"From now on, I will make someone unhappy for me and you. Still, will you forgive me?

If I say I won't forgive him, will he stop? If we can't make someone unhappy here, what will happen to him if we say so?

But I'm sure if he was an old man, he wouldn't have done anything to make someone unhappy.

I can't help thinking about the mess.

Because you've already decided on my answers.

"I'll help too. So tell me. So let's think together."

If you're ready, I've done it a long time ago.
