Not a Villainess but a Maid

#084 The end of the play is a crashing ending

The audience was getting more and more excited and were shouting in unison for us to kiss.

But what was even more embarrassing than that was Ruby’s reaction.

“It’s okay. “Do it.”

She obediently closes her eyes and presents her face, as if she is already ready to accept her.

I wondered if this was okay, but before I knew it, my body was obediently following Lady Ruby’s words.

The distance between the two lips was right in front of their noses, and it was the moment when they were about to touch each other.

“Stop!”

I was startled by a loud voice coming from behind the stage and fell away from Ruby.

As I was paying attention to the direction from which the sound came, Amethyst, who seemed to have put on a wig in a hurry, came running out with an urgent expression and said.

“Stop what you’re doing right now, Knight Phrygian!”

I looked at her and asked her reflex.

“Amethyst… No, queen. What’s going on here… ?”

There was no mention anywhere in the script that Amethyst, who plays the queen, would now appear.

In the first place, there is no way a queen would follow alone to the cave where the monster appears.

She took a breath, adjusted her wig, and said:

“Me, actually… “I have admired you for a long time.”

“Yes… ?”

Everyone in the audience, including me, looked shocked at the queen’s shocking remarks.

“But, Her Majesty is already next to the Queen…” “

“He doesn’t love me anymore! Every night, all she wanted to do was leave him… “

Amethyst continued speaking, wiping away tears.

“If it’s okay with you, I can use her hand to bring down her husband and put you on the throne.”

“Queen, that is a clear rebellion plot… “

“It’s okay. “I don’t mind as long as it’s you!”

No, I have something to do with it.

I tried to refute her lines in my own way, but the play quickly became a mess.

“Krrr!”

Ruby growled and started running towards Amethyst.

A monster who was once the queen’s daughter and princess attacks her own mother.

While I was struggling to figure out who to protect in that absurd situation, Amethyst, who played the queen, picked up the knife that had fallen on the floor and said,

“Oh my, there’s a knife that’s perfect for swinging in a place like this.”

“Yes!? That’s my knife… “

What she picked up was the knife I was carrying, which I had just thrown on the floor.

Amethyst swung her sword around with skill and took an attack stance.

“Even so, I will deal with you with all my sincerity, as I trained quite a bit in martial arts before entering the royal family.”

‘Suddenly the two of them fight… ?’

Now, it was being carried out completely ignoring the script and settings.

What would Coral, who is watching everything behind the scenes, think when she sees her script being destroyed like this?

The fight had already begun in earnest without being able to stop it.

Amethyst was absorbed in sparring with Ruby, not even caring that her wig had come off.

“Crumbling!”

“Go for it, low-level monster!”

Amethyst used her sword to block Ruby, which was rushing towards her in all directions.

The factions cheering for the two were divided, and cheers grew louder in the audience.

– Fighting, queen!

– Cheer up, monster!

Both of them were making movements that could only be assumed to be sincere, so even the audience, who were confused at first, began to warm up after seeing the two’s high-level fighting skills.

‘If we do this, no one will get hurt…’ ?’

And that was when the fight reached its peak.

-Pow.

Firecrackers exploded with a loud sound on both sides of the stage, then the lights went out and it became completely dark.

‘Huh?’

The audience seemed to be equally confused, as they were all buzzing and embarrassed.

After a while, the host came to the front of the stage and explained loudly in a friendly tone.

“I’m sorry…” ! “Because there are many more performances left, we will end the Student Council & Free Activity Club play here!”

We heard the audience’s cries, but we were grabbed by the hands of other club members and dragged off the stage.

After the tent was completely lowered, I asked Amethyst in the waiting room.

“Ame, what on earth were you thinking?”

When I asked that, Amethyst shrugged his shoulders and said.

“I didn’t do anything wrong. “I got permission from Coral.”

“Yes… ?”

I looked at Coral with a dumbfounded expression and she nodded her head in agreement.

“That’s right, Amber. “I gave permission.”

“Why did you do that… ? “It goes against the script you wrote.”

“You and Ruby were having trouble with the audience. “We did our best to prevent it.”

“… Ah.”

If Amethyst hadn’t popped out at that time, he would have stayed silent and kissed in front of the audience.

As I stood awkwardly making eye contact with Ruby, Coral asked with a puzzled expression.

“… “Amber, you weren’t really trying to kiss Ruby, were you?”

When she hit the nail on the head, I unnaturally shook her head and retorted.

“That can’t be… ! How difficult was it for me too… !”

“… Hmm. Right?”

Before she could inquire further, she quickly changed her tune.

The two people who should have entered the waiting room first were nowhere to be seen.

“That’s right. Where did Diamond and Emerald go?”

“Those two people? “I didn’t see it either.”

Amethyst, who was listening to our conversation, took off her clothes and said.

“I heard you two went to the dressing room together earlier? “I guess I have something else to say.”

‘Something to talk about…’ ?’

The fact that those two people are talking separately…

An ominous feeling overtook me, so I ran straight to the dressing room without even changing my clothes.

No way, if Emerald had already noticed her…

Like what happened on stage today, Emerald seemed to have somehow figured out that Diamond was a curse user.

When I heard two people’s voices right in front of the dressing room, I put my ear to the door and overheard the conversation.

“I’m so sorry, Emerald!”

The first thing I heard was Dia’s voice, a voice full of regret.

“I think the necklace string broke during the play. Even though I tried to look for it, I couldn’t find any space… “

“It’s okay. “It’s not that expensive.”

‘She lost her necklace…’ ?’

Dia’s voice was heard from inside, repeatedly apologizing.

“Still, I heard it was Emerald’s personal item, so I have to compensate for it somehow…” “

“Our cute junior could make such a mistake. Just be careful from next time. “

Looking at the circumstances, it seemed like Diamond had lost the necklace around her neck.

“It’s really okay, so go to the waiting room. “Everyone will be waiting.”

“Yes… “

Dia greeted Emerald politely and then left the dressing room.

And then, our eyes met.

“Amber? “Why are you here?”

“… Well, I have something to say to Emerald.”

“Aha.”

Dia turned away from me and said.

“Thank you for your hard work today. “The knight’s acting was great!”

“Yes? hahahaha… “

“Then I will go first. See you later.”

“… “

After she left, I carefully pulled back the curtains in her dressing room.

Emerald was standing there with a relaxed smile as if she had been waiting for me.

She waved her hand and greeted me with her smiling face.

“Hello, Ms. Assistant?”

“… “

I told the story carefully so as not to seem as suspicious as possible.

“… “I guess Diamond lost her pendant?”

“Yes. “I guess that was it.”

“It’s a big deal. “It’s an essential tool to find witches.”

When I spoke in a worried tone, Emerald shook her head and responded.

“It’s okay. “Because Diamond already knew she was a witch.”

“… !”

Emerald said, waving her black-colored pendant towards me.

“Look at this. “It’s stained black, right?”

“… I heard that you definitely lost the necklace….”

When I looked confused, Emerald continued to explain with a cold expression.

“The pendants are connected to each other. “If one side becomes black, the other pendants also react and become black.”

What that means is that even if Diamond lost one of her pendants, she could know through the other pendant.

“Wait a minute. Well, Emerald, you knew everything from the beginning… “

When I placed her bead on Diamond in the carriage, Emerald’s pendant would have also turned black.

Emerald looked at me and said, fiddling with the black beads.

“That’s right. If it weren’t for you, I never would have found it. “I appreciate that.”

“… “

“Dia, that child was so clever that I was unable to find conclusive evidence, but today’s incident has now made it clear.”

The situation I wanted to avoid the most ended up happening.

“I thought you were especially protective of her, and it turns out my prediction was correct. Amber.”

In the narrow dressing room, I stood frozen and faced Emerald.

“What do you plan to do with the diamond?”

When I asked with caution, Emerald answered with a smile.

“We should take him to the Magic Association.”

“… “What if she refuses?”

“At that time… “She has to use some pretty rough methods.”

I wasn’t sure what exactly the Magic Association was doing, but I knew that handing over the diamonds to the Association like this would never be a good thing.

“Diamonds are not witches or anything. “She is not dangerous.”

“How can you be sure of that? “Is there any guarantee that the child will not use the curse on others in the future?”

In fact, Dia used a curse on Clara during the trial.

If I hadn’t stopped it at that time, something irreparable could have happened, but in the end, DIA listened to me and stopped.

“… I can control it. “I’m sure you will listen to what I say.”

When I spoke as if pleading, Emerald asked with a puzzled expression.

“Why do you trust that child so much? “She doesn’t even know what kind of past that kid has?”

“That’s… “

As she said, I had no idea what kind of past Dia had.

When I couldn’t answer, Emerald made a complicated expression and spoke to me.

“… Then let’s do it like this. “Amber is helping me out.”

“I will do anything. “If you don’t want to take Diamond like that.”

For some reason, I felt uneasy, but I had no other options.

“Personally, I have some doubts. “About what exactly the Magic Association is doing by capturing witches.”

“So, what can I do?”

Emerald spoke to me with a meaningful expression.

“… I need you to accompany me to the association. Amber.”
