I Am The Villainess With A Maxed-Out Luck Stat - Chapter 120



Only Noblemtl

120. Are you □□□?

[#System-jumping #□□□]

‘What the heck is this?’

Even when I looked into the keywords of Countess Gott, as well as the heroine Seraphine, there were no hidden keywords.

An additional system window appeared below.

[Keyword Compatibility: ★★★★★]

[The compatibility with ‘Cayenne’ is very good! Maybe it’s a match made in heaven?]

[Affinity bonus is in effect!]

But I was so focused on his keywords that I didn’t even notice things like compatibility.

I fell into thought again.

‘Let’s think about it calmly.’

Looking back, there are quite a few strange things.

I don’t know the identity of □□□, but if it’s someone who ‘traverses the system’, then something makes sense.

The first time I glimpsed his memories.

‘Cayenne was able to recognize the system window.’

What did the manager say about that?

【Admin: Isn’t Cayenne also a character in this world?】

【Administrator: Even if he happens to notice the system window, he will only perceive your abilities as some kind of incomprehensible magic.】

【Administrator: I will never deal with system windows like you, or learn about this world.】

【Admin: You and Cayenne are literally on different levels.】

The original character was said to be unable to perceive the system window.

But there was one flaw in his explanation.

The night personality is a character from the original work, but the day personality is not.

Can a daytime personality that didn’t even exist in the original be called a character?

‘furthermore-‘

A hidden route that opens when you have Cayenne.

Even in the original, the other side of the story that had never been discovered anywhere in the past life was gradually revealed after meeting Cayenne.

Is this possible for a character who isn’t even the main character of the original work?

【Admin: Don’t you know that good looks are bait, and a face is probability?】

【Admin: Cayenne is handsome because there is a reason he is handsome.】

【Admin: Okay?】

The manager used the miraculous logic that Cayenne was as handsome as the male protagonist, so no matter what he did, nothing would be strange… … .

There was something about her that couldn’t be explained by her beautiful appearance alone.

What on earth is that?

What on earth is this guy that creates anomalies in the system?

I used the .

It was to get a clue even if it was by using an item.

however.

【SYSTEM: Item use denied.】

“… … ?”

Rejected?

“What are you thinking about?”

Then Cayenne took a step closer to me.

My image was reflected in her ruby ​​eyes.

The bright red eyes were dazzlingly beautiful, but looking into those emotionless eyes gave me a strangely creepy feeling.

I feel like I’m not alive.

He had an innocent face as usual, but today his appearance seemed eerily unfamiliar.

An unidentifiable sense of alienation sounded a warning light in my head.

I have to run away from this man.

I was rolling my eyes like crazy.

“It’s no use. It won’t work anyway.”

Suddenly, the system window shut down.

He took a step forward.

“……what?”

“No matter what you try to do to me, it’s no use.”

A cold sweat ran down my back.

Are you even seeing through the system window now?

‘Calm down, calm down.’

The accident stopped as if the brakes had been applied, but for now, we had to remain calm.

The day personality is a being that does not appear in the original work.

‘But the Cayenne of this life is alive and breathing in front of me.’

A being that is not permitted in the original work, but moves regardless of the original work.

‘It’s a really crazy thought, but maybe―’

Maybe he is someone similar to me?

If so… … .

I felt like I had a vague idea of ​​what the hidden keyword was.

“Are you, by any chance, □□□?”

【WARNING! Abnormal speech detected】

【The original protection system imposes a penalty.】

【SYSTEM: The current situation is forcibly terminated due to a penalty.】

That was when.

A red warning window blocked my view, and soon a commotion was heard on the stairs in the hallway.

“Miss, what are you doing there?”

“Leah?”

They were my personal maids.

They passed him by as if Cayenne was nowhere to be seen.

“Lady Seraphine has just gone to bed. You should rest too.”

“Now that I look at it, your clothes are a mess. You should change your clothes quickly.”

“Should I also get you some bath water?”

The maids chattering pulled me away from Cayenne.

“… … .”

I wanted to say something, but my mouth was shut like a clam and wouldn’t move.

An invisible force was binding me.

“Let’s go, miss.”

I was pushed into the room by the maids, almost forcibly.

‘No matter how much I think about it, it’s strange.’

How else can one explain Cayenne’s existence?

None of the questions have been resolved yet, but from then on, whenever I tried to meet him, the system’s enforcement kicked in.

【WARNING! You cannot approach the target due to a penalty.】

【3 days, 14 hours, 52 minutes left until penalty ends.】

‘In three days, it will be time for the hunting festival to begin.’

Until we got to Episode 2, I felt like there was a will to not allow unnecessary encounters.

Even though I wanted to reveal Cayenne’s true identity, I had no choice but to hold back until the hunting festival.

“Your Majesty, why are you looking so serious?”

Then Seraphine, who was sitting across from him, asked worriedly.

“Yeah, it’s nothing.”

I shook my head to shake off the thoughts.

“By the way, Seraphine Youngae, was your training okay today?”

“Yes. It feels refreshing to practice hard and sweat.”

She was enjoying some refreshments after finishing her training at the training center today.

‘At first, he collapsed as soon as training was over and was busy sleeping.’

Now it seems like we have some free time to chat.

“That’s really amazing.”

I was truly impressed.

I thought I wouldn’t bother with training after the first day.

She continued to visit the training ground voluntarily and train regularly.

[It’s amazing. On days when I train, I sleep well and my condition is better than usual.]

[It’s still a bit difficult, but I want to keep trying until I get used to it.]

So one day, two days, a week… … .

Seraphine, who wanted to try a little more, endured hellish training every day.

She was so passionate that I wondered if her real talent was her grit and mental strength.

Her limbs had become noticeably stronger, her pale skin had been tanned to a healthy golden hue, and her sword-wielding hand was covered in calluses.

‘You can gain muscle in such a short period of time?’

What kind of training did she receive? Seraphine’s muscle growth was truly astonishing.

‘It seems like your shoulders have broadened a bit.’

I just thought she had a thin body type, but it turns out she had round shoulders.

With her back and shoulders straightened, the innocent and sickly heroine Seraphine looked even more majestic.

“Aren’t you training, Princess?”

“I still have muscle pain from my first training session.”

“Huh? That was a few days ago, and you still have muscle pain?”

“… … .”

You’re so unnecessarily sharp.

Seraphine grabbed my hand.

“No, that won’t work. They say that muscle pain can be relieved with light exercise. Come and run around the gym with me right now.”

“Oh, that’s true, if I just exercise, I’ll get a fatal chronic disease―”

Just as I was coming up with some lame excuse, someone knocked on the door.

“Miss, this is William.”

That’s a good thing.

I sighed in relief and called the butler over.

“What’s going on?”

“The sample product you ordered has arrived.”

William held out a small box.

When I opened the palm-sized box, a carved gem came out.

“Your Majesty, what is this?”

“I told you a while ago that I was going to start a small business. This is part of it.”

“Were you serious about the business?”

Seraphine couldn’t hide her embarrassment.

“Listen, Young-ae. I told you this is a really great item.”

Meanwhile, Perwin was reviewing a deal with the Kingdom of Pyron.

Even a cursory examination of the report, which was clearly passed in a rushed manner, revealed many problems.

Not only was the enormous cost incurred due to the excessive schedule enforcement necessary, but unreasonable tariffs were also noticeable.

Above all, the important posts were all occupied by relatives of Marquis Shiloh and Balton.

At this point, the acquisition of magic stones was nothing more than a fancy excuse. In reality, it was just a way for those who clung to the power of the concubine to each take a seat.

What was most disastrous was that the Emperor approved this absurd plan.

“It seems that His Majesty has become very old.”

Perwin laughed bitterly.

Not only was the Emperor openly flirting with his concubines, but now even the Marquis of Balton was joining in to wield power.

If only the empress had remained alive, the imperial authority would not have fallen to such a low point.

“How is Her Majesty the Empress’s health?”

Perwin glanced at his subjects.

“I am ashamed, Your Majesty. There is still no improvement. Since your sudden decline in strength, your food intake has also decreased noticeably. The palace physician says that if you continue like this, you will not survive past the next month… … .”

“… … .”

The subject couldn’t even finish speaking.

The shadow of death cast over the Empress was encroaching upon the palace.
