The Villain’s Sister Suffers Today

Episode 53

Translator : Missme Editor : Aru

I blinked and then opened my eyes.

The prince was looking straight at me. As if the greenery had been transferred, my image was transparently reflected in his blue-green eyes.

The next moment, a different sense of embarrassment came in.

‘Huh?’

My head moved on its own, so I gave out an interpretation of what I just heard.

“So, it’s because of me? He’s come down here in a hurry by using space-movement magic simply because he’s worried about my health?’

“That………”

blink one’s eyes hard at the moment, not knowing what to say He spoke out.

“I’m glad to see you’re welcome…?”

For some reason, the end went up as if it were a question mark.

The crown prince grinned. I couldn’t immediately understand why he was laughing.

“I don’t mean to burden you. I just wanted to say that I did.”

“Oh, yes.”

I couldn’t find another suitable answer, so I nodded.

Then there was an awkward silence.

If I had a teacup, I would have grabbed it. The hand I put under the table crumbled subtly because I couldn’t find a place to put them.

‘What is this?’

I felt confused.

‘This is a little….. isn’t it?’

I’m not mistaken, am I?

‘It’s kind of like that, right?’

There was a sense of something strange about the Crown Prince’s present attitude toward me.

No, I’m not only ‘sensing’ it but he is openly and obviously strange toward me?

‘He came all the way down here because he wanted to make sure I was okay.’

Yeah, he’s too obvious about it. If it’s not about it then what?

If The Crown Prince had said such words to anyone without meaning or consciousness, he would have been famous as Casanova in The Empire.

‘But I’ve never heard such a rumour.’

The situation has been identified. It’s like that. I mean, well, it’s real like that.

‘Why?’

The embarrassment doubled.

Why did it happen? This could only have been a natural question.

The Crown Prince and I have only seen each other three times today.

Except for the fact that we have glanced at each other at the public meeting with several people.

‘Even the first meeting was when it was spilt with the enchanted cloth.’

It was hard to find when the Crown Prince and I had a chance to sprout something like that.

‘The effect of the enchanted cloth is still… No, that really wouldn’t be.’

My head is spinning.

That’s how I lost my words.

The Crown Prince opened his mouth with a bit of difficulty as to how he interpreted my attitude.

“I didn’t want to make it uncomfortable. I think I shouldn’t have said that before. You don’t have to keep it in mind.”

“Yes? Oh, no, it’s not like that.”

I shook my head first and then thought about what to do.

‘Let’s talk about something else.’

It’ll only deepen the awkwardness by keeping my mouth shut. Okay, let’s get out of this difficult atmosphere for now.

‘I should shift the subject to treatment for the sinner.’

“The, the sinner…….”

It was only when I started my words, the parlour room door opened.

The door was behind me. I only knew it was open because of the noise, but I couldn’t tell until I looked back.

‘Is it Bessie?’

I thought she brought the tea out.

However, it was so surmising that an unexpected word came out of The Crown Prince’s mouth.

“The Duke?”

My shoulders are stiff.

A familiar voice rang in my ear.

The heart sank and then began to beat so fast.

“Why didn’t you call me when you got here, Your Highness?”

Suddenly, something seemed to have happened to my neck. I couldn’t look back at all.

I turned into a statue in my seat.

‘Why, why?’

Isn’t it time to relax yet?

I’m telling you the truth now, but in fact, I ran away from the room where Ash was earlier.

I was running away.

The reason was simple. Because I wasn’t confident I’d see Ash with a straight face right now.

With a completely different feeling than I did when I woke up from a nightmare earlier.

And it was the same now.

“I heard you were hurt. Is it okay for you to come out like this?”

“As you can see, not to the point where I couldn’t move.”

Ash’s voice gradually came in close range.

The sound of my beating heart was loud. If the distance is closer than a certain distance, I think that the person next to me will hear it. The moment my thought reached it, I sprang up.

“Princess?”

“Noonim.”

I did it without realizing it. I didn’t think about what to do next.

I stood up from my seat and contemplated a belated excuse.

“I’m not feeling well. Excuse me, but I’ll get up first.”

There is no better excuse than this. It was an act that couldn’t be said to be in line with courtesy, but now I couldn’t care about it.

I said so and then hurried out of my seat, looking neither side.

I walked in a hurry as if I were catching something.

‘Crazy.’

My heart was about to burst.

‘Please, Lydia.’

The dream came back to my mind again and again.

The mere hearing of the voice brought all the senses back unexpectedly.

It had nothing to do with the doctor. I did it beyond my control.

My lips were burning hot.

Not long after that, the corridor was quiet, with few people walking by.

I hastened to walk with my backhand covered as if to conceal a face that no one else saw.

***

Prince Iggret Hayden kept his eyes open at the entrance of the parlour room.

A slender figure simply shot herself out of his sight.

Far from being caught, there was no time for a similar attempt.

When he felt a sense of despondency in the sudden event, he could hear a voice of inhumanity pushing through the gap.

“What did you talk about?”

“Hmm?”

It gave me a look. The Duke of Widgreen was staring at him, as he did when he first appeared here.

In those eyes, Iggret thought casually.

‘He really doesn’t seem like a human being at all times. He has no humanity.’

There would be no more suitable words to express his opponent than that.

Iggret could have made a bet on this.

He’s sure there’s no one he knows who’s less humane than him.

‘I don’t know. How can he not change every time I see it?’

He wondered exactly where this inhuman impression came from.

Not just because his opponent’s appearance seems to be unrealistic.

‘Although, he looks especially human to his sister.’

In terms of caring for a family.

Iggret opened his mouth at ease.

“It wasn’t a big deal. The Duke didn’t have to worry about it.”

“Your words are misleading.”

“What do you mean misleading?”

“There’s nothing about my sister that I don’t need to worry about.”

“…….”

“No matter how trivial it may be.”

The Duke, who said so in a calm tone as if to bring up a very ordinary story, soon bowed his head to Iggret.

It was a simple movement. But even that strangely enough, there is no human warmth with it.

“For the next time, I hope you talk to me instead of this matter.”

“……..”

“Then, when the left sinners arrive, you can go.”

Then, the Duke, who raised his head straight, left the parlour room first, saying, “Stay at ease until then.”

Iggret remained in his seat and muttered, looking where his opponent had been just a moment ago.

“……did he just give me a warning? Don’t talk to his sister’s time without him knowing?”

“That’s what it sounds like.”

The woman, who stood silently covering her whole body with a generous robe, agreed lightly.

“There’s nothing unusual about this.”

Iggret, who laughed in vain, leaned his back on the chair.

His posture was looser than usual because no one was watching.

“I didn’t expect that kind of unobtrusive nonsense to come out of his mouth. I feel like I’m some kind of a bad guy.”

“Didn’t you know he really cared about his sister?”

“I didn’t know it was that much.”

The woman shrugged at the remark.

She couldn’t see it from Iggret’s perspective.

“He/She was a beautiful person.”

“Which one do you mean?”

“I like the humane one. Not someone who seems to be able to separate the neck from the body without even a blink of an eye.”

It was obvious who she was talking about.

Iggret grinned for a moment.

“You have good eyes.”

Iggret, who praised her so much, soon settled down.

A figure came to his mind without a word.

‘She’s a beautiful woman.’

Lydia Widgreen.

She was an interesting woman. For him, she’s interesting in many ways.

‘It’s not wrong, but.’

When they first encountered each other in the temple, she simply looked pretty.

She was an objectively beautiful woman.

However, Iggret was not easily impressed by the appearance of a human being, perhaps because of his good looks.

So at first, he just felt new and strange.

He was also curious. It was a good thing to have such an impression of being pretty at first sight, even though it was extremely rare in his life.

‘And then they met again in the Imperial Garden.’

Now that he thought about it, the second meeting was half-intentional and half-accidental.

First of all, Iggret deliberately sent an invitation to the other party in time for the Imperial party. With that intention so far.

But then he didn’t expect to get lost in the garden where he went for a walk with a light heart before the party started. Coincidence from there.

‘The palace garden is a place that I don’t usually look for.…’

It’s a shameful excuse, but he didn’t expect the structure to be that different from what was in the main palace.
