The Villain Wants to Live Quietly

Chapter 7. Good People, Bad People (1)

The two of them had to distance themselves in amazement without even asking Tanya why she was here. It wouldn’t matter if it was just close distance, but it was a composition that anyone could easily misunderstand.

“Mi, I’m sorry. Will I be out?”

As Tanya continued to speak clearly revealing the misunderstanding, Emilia waved her hands. Of course, if Tanya’s imagination came true, it would be nice for herself, but she didn’t want to invent words that weren’t there yet in a situation where there was no progress.

“Oh no! More than that, how is Tanya here…? … ?”

“that… I left immediately after seeing the letter that arrived at the family… I want to surprise you. I didn’t expect to be surprised.”

Tanya smiles awkwardly and stops her wandering steps and enters. A sigh of relief flowed from Emilia’s mouth, believing that the misunderstanding had been resolved.

Actually, far from being resolved, it only made it more complicated in my head.

‘Do you want to hide it? What do we do. I can’t even ask directly.’

It was a fact that she knew well that the two had feelings for each other. Although in the case of Emilia, she did not receive a definite answer from her own mouth, but given the circumstances, it would be safe to say that it was an established fact. The reaction when I contacted him the other day was also unusual.

The problem is that he can’t say anything unless he knows the real relationship between the two.

If you ask if you are dating in a situation where you don’t know each other’s heart, it will be that you have revealed the other person’s heart. Unexpectedly, for Tanya, who is very picky about love affairs, this was something she never wanted to do.

In other words, unless the preceding precondition disappears, it is impossible to directly speak out even if the atmosphere that the two are dating is exuded. I just have to wait patiently for him to tell me in person.

Finally, Tanya nodded firmly inwardly and took a step forward. In this case, you just have to treat it as if it were no different than usual. Since she was sickly from a young age, she often lived hiding her pain because she didn’t want to worry about others, so acting like this was nothing.

“Then why did you stick around like that? Ludwig, would it be difficult if you took Emilia away from me?”

“Take away… What possessions does Emilia have?”

“Hey, kidding, kidding. What are you so surprised about?”

When Tanya sticks out her tongue and says it was a joke, Ludwig gets hit in the back of the head.

Having confided in Tanya the other day, he was certain that she, knowing the circumstances, was saying this to make fun of him. I wonder if the guy called my friend is going to let go of the way that he can’t help. Although he had a deep connection with Emilia in Amman, he wondered if this was too much.

“It’s late to say hello. Emilia, how are you?”

Tanya, who was slowly approaching with her hands behind her back, asked how she was doing in a cute voice. Although they have been friends for a long time with Emilia, for some reason, they felt more like sisters rather than same-sex friends. Maybe because of that, in front of her, there was a little bit of cuteness in his voice.

“I have been unscathed. What about Tanya?”

“I have been I was so worried about Emilia that I couldn’t sleep.”

“Huh, Tanya is too.”

Just as she regarded Emilia as her own sister, Emilia also regarded Tanya as her own sister. A girl who always followed him and begged him to show his swordsmanship. Because even though her body was weak, she always energized her and was so precious to her.

On the other hand, Tanya was sending signals to Ludwig with her eyes while talking to Emilia. At first, he tilted his head wondering what it meant, but soon after he understood the meaning contained in it, he stopped laughing.

‘That’s probably what he meant.’

It must mean that such behavior or tone is suitable for scoring points. It’s not wrong, of course, but the hurdles were just too high for him. There is no way that such a cheesy line would be possible between simple friends of the opposite sex.

He threw the lines he had uttered so far into the other side of his memory, and after finally diagnosing that it was impossible, he shook his head slightly from side to side and signaled to Tanya that it was too much.

‘That fool!’

I mean, even if you feed me, you’ll refuse. Even looking at it, it was clear that the man thought the line was too greasy for him to spit out.

‘You blew that kind of line to me… … !’

How dumbfounded he was when he was told that he was reminded of himself when he saw the flowers. Maybe it’s not natural to flirt with women? I thought that the words that came out subconsciously might be more dangerous.

If that were true, his own advice wouldn’t be of much use either. I’d rather just create a situation where the two of us would be alone. Although it was absurd to call this faith.

“Are you both very tired? Since it’s been such a long time, I thought we should go for a walk in the garden together.”

If the garden of the Eifretz family is neat and elegant, the Bayemurn family is gorgeous and magnificent, as if the name of the family was written on it.

Word of mouth spreads that it is a garden that the social world must visit at least once. Of course, most people would have a hard time getting their feet wet here.

“I’m OK. What about Ludwig?”

“It was a car I wanted to see, so I’m happy to accompany you.”

It was good enough news for Ludwig to welcome it with both hands open, so he nodded his head willingly.

Even if the body can be a little tired, you can’t miss this chance to be a genius. It is like walking through the garden while being personally guided by the eldest daughter of the Bayern family. Perhaps it is a luxury that is difficult to enjoy once in a lifetime.

“Then let’s go right away. Actually, I was really looking forward to it.”

As Tanya cheered and left the room in the lead, the two who were standing there met eyes and burst into small laughter. It was because her behavior was so lively.

Thus, the first destination of the trio gathered together for the first time was decided.

* * * * * * *

It was Ludwig who had glimpsed it when he entered the mansion, but when he actually faced it, he realized that the garden was very large and magnificent. In addition, the impression the garden brings was very different.

The garden of the Ipretz family, which he tended, was landscaped with care for the overall harmony, but this place had a strong feeling that the large space called the garden was divided into four large areas and decorated each area splendidly. And each feature was attractive, so it felt like a windfall for him.

“This is my mother’s favorite place. I don’t know how it is in Ludwig’s eyes.”

“It’s the best. I’m not good at speaking, so I don’t know how to express it further… That’s really nice.”

Although most of the flowers were hidden because of the cold weather, there was no spectacle even with the flowers that bloom in winter. And on the other hand, it seemed like he vaguely understood why Yulia said she liked this place the most. It may not be a word suitable for a garden, but as soon as I saw this place, I suddenly thought that it was feminine.

“Emilia, are the gardens managed by different gardeners for each section?”

As if possessed by a detective, he searched every nook and cranny of the garden. When he asked a hint, the eyes of the two women opened at the same time.

“Yeah? Yes. how to… … ?”

“Each person managing it is a little different. The opposite side felt like it was managed by a man, but this place felt like it was managed by a woman.”

“It is a great insight. I’ve been touring the gardens here all my life, but I’ve never felt anything like it.”

Tanya, who was standing next to her, knew this as she had been to this place many times. Perhaps that’s why, with very surprised eyes, she scanned him from top to bottom. I had already seen that he had a hobby of tending the mansion’s garden, but I never thought it would reach this level.

“I am a little embarrassed. It’s nothing special, so you don’t have to float it.”

Ludwig, who was embarrassed when he received the women’s blatant stare, waved his hand with a shy smile. I probably wouldn’t have inferred it if I hadn’t heard that Julia liked this garden the most. It was just the result of the deja vu he was feeling and it fit well with the circumstances.

But the two didn’t seem to think so. It was because it was just looking at Tanya’s eyes right now.

“why? You’re great enough. Does Emilia think so too?”

Emilia was taken aback for a moment because she didn’t know that she would ask herself, but soon she nodded lightly and expressed her affirmation to Tanya’s words.

“of course. Ludwig sometimes tends to lower himself too much.”

“right? Although humility is a virtue, there are times when that fool goes too far. like that before Saying you’re sorry for saving me… … .”

When a colleague named Emilia joined in, Tanya, as if letting out her accumulated resentment, continued to criticize him.

Even if it was a criticism, it was actually just a compliment, but because of the strong momentum, Ludwig had to be beaten one-sidedly without even saying a word. Rather, he should be glad that he was on his side, but he wasn’t. Is this a strange human psychology?

“In the meantime, Tanya seems to have become very close with Ludwig.”

“uh? He-does it look like that?”

“Otherwise, there is no way I would take sides like this. Doesn’t it show how much you care for Ludwig?”

He hoped that they would get along well because they were two people he cherished, but they seemed to be closer than expected, so he was able to ease his worries. When I contacted you the other day, I saw the two of them sticking together, so I got angry, but that was just an accident that passed by for a moment.

“That’s it… … .”

When Tanya was speechless with her face stained red, Emilia smiled happily. It was like seeing a boy who couldn’t be honest with his heart. I didn’t mean it in a different way, so there’s no need to be ashamed.

“what. did you like me that much? Thanks, Tanya.”

“Sigh, noisy! Who do you like!”

Tanya, who couldn’t stand it because even a ignorant man joked around and interfered with one more drink, screamed out loud. Even so, it was just a cute angst level.

“Tanya, maybe Ludwig won’t like it if you’re too blunt?”

“Emilia, are you like this too!?”

“Phuhuh… sorry. Stop because Tanya’s reaction was so funny.”

Feeling betrayed, Tanya responded with a torn voice, and Emilia, who was laughing through tears, handed her an apology. Whether it was Ludwig or Tanya, to her, they were just good prey to tease. Should I just say that the taste is slightly different?

In the case of Ludwig, when he was pranked, it was quite rare that it was evident through his words or actions. It was because I was the type to show slightly feminine reactions, such as blushing, cautiously stepping back, or stuttering.

On the other hand, Tanya’s side showed her emotions more openly and actively resisted pranks. I don’t know if it was a compliment to her, but I had a strong feeling that this side was more like a man.

“Eh, I don’t know about Ludwig, but I didn’t expect Emilia to do that too… … .”

“sorry. I only did it because Tanya was so cute, so can you forgive me just once?”

I thought it would come out that way. Tanya felt a strange sense of difference in the appearance of her childhood friend, who seemed to have been smirking a lot while she hadn’t seen them. It’s nice to have a fresh face like this, but it was just regrettable that I couldn’t be happy because it was when the protests were aimed at me.

Tanya decided to be merciful because it would only make her a fool if she got angry more. Only for Emilia, of course.

“Because Emilia is apologizing, I will tolerate that much… But not you.”

“okay. I will also apologize.”

“It’s already too late.”

huh. Tanya snorted and turned her head away, expressing her distress in all directions. Then, feeling sorry and realizing his mistake, he shook his head inwardly.

‘I didn’t come here for this. Tanya Ansberg!’

In the first place, I had no great interest in gardens, which I had seen many times since I was a child. I just know that Ludwig likes flowers and gardens, so I brought the two of them because I wanted to take him on a tour and had one other purpose.

“Emilia. I’m sorry to say this, but I’m a little unwell, so I’ll go in first. Is it okay if we look around the rest together?”

Before resuming their garden exploration, Tanya’s sudden words brought the two of them to a halt. Emilia, in particular, knew better than anyone else that Tanya had been ill since childhood, so she turned and looked at her with a sense of concern.

‘That’s… … ?’

Soon, a white mass appeared in front of her eyes. It was showing off its presence above Tanya’s head. Why did that appear now? Emilia didn’t understand this situation, but she wanted to ask Tanya about her physical condition first.

“It’s okay, but… Is it very bad? Then me too… … .”

“It’s nothing. Maybe it’s because it’s cold, so I’m a little chilly. Don’t worry about Emilia and go look around with him. Understand?”

“If Tanya is… … .”

Tanya, who raised a dainty fist and bluffed Ludwig, saying that she would not let her go if she bored Emilia. However, Ludwig looked at her with stern eyes and then shook his head resolutely and spoke to Emilia.

“I’m sorry, Emilia, but I will take Tanya for a while.”

It was a date in the garden where Emilia and I had been together for a long time. He didn’t want to miss this opportunity, but what was more important was his friend’s physical condition.

He guessed that this was an opportunity that Tanya had created out of consideration for herself. If that was the case, there was no way he would ignore her in order to keep this position. You might say it’s foolish, but at least it was directly related to his beliefs.

“What do you mean take me? It’s right in front of you, so you don’t have to worry unnecessarily.”

Tanya, on the other hand, was just about to explode. Trying to take away the opportunity I created for myself. Even if he returned to the garden again, it would be difficult to maintain the warm atmosphere of a moment ago. I’d rather pretend I didn’t know at a time like this and move on.

“Know. It’s a useless worry. I will only take you to the front of the mansion and return right away, so don’t worry unnecessarily.”

“… … .”

However, everything did not go according to her plan.

When Ludwig pointed out himself with a cold face he had never seen before, Tanya became a dumb ass and kept her mouth shut. Only then did it become worse than leaving the seat.

“I will go with you.”

“You don’t have to come all the way to Emilia. But it will be cold… … .”

Even if there was a structure to block the wind, the weather would be quite chilly. Ludwig immediately took off his coat and put it over Emilia’s shoulder.

“I’m sorry. Emilia. I have a lot of trouble because of my remoteness.”

“That’s what Ludwig looks like. Never mind.”

Emilia shook her head and responded with a benevolent smile at the man who laughed and handed over her apology.

So Ludwig, feeling sorry, left her behind for a while and quietly led Tanya to the main building of the mansion.

Eventually, as we reached the door to enter, Tanya, who had been lowering her head, opened her mouth.

“It’s stupid… I just wish I didn’t know Because I wanted to be alone with Emilia.”

“Don’t you be such an idiot. Who would be looking at the garden in peace when their friend is sick?”

Why are you being so foolish? He thought he was stupid enough, too, but in his eyes, Tanya was a fool like no other in the world. Otherwise, there would be no way I would be able to think like this.

“Tch, thank you anyway. I will go alone from here.”

“Know. Because I had no intention of going any further. Did Lel come with you? As soon as you enter, ask for some hot tea.”

“Nagging.”

Tanya slipped out of his arms and walked into the room.

Ludwig tilted his head at the appearance of his back, which was no different from usual, and headed towards the garden again. I hope you don’t have any trouble.

Meanwhile, as soon as Tanya entered the mansion, she hid herself behind the large door and crouched down in her seat. I was too scared to control my pounding heart. Maybe it just explodes like this?

‘That idiot… Who are you flirting with… … !’

Somehow, I felt really unwell. Otherwise, the heart wouldn’t be beating so fast. I want to quickly ask Lel to drink warm black tea. With that thought in mind, Tanya barely moved.
