I Am The Villainess With A Maxed-Out Luck Stat - Chapter 166



Only Noblemtl

166. Is this mirror therapy?

“Catch the criminal right now!”

“Yes, Your Majesty!”

Perwin gave an order from the confused crowd.

The guards all went out to search, but it was not easy to even form a line in the midst of the frenzied crowd.

Especially when the post of Grand Master Brecht is vacant.

Taking advantage of the commotion in the area, Marquis Balton hurriedly left his seat.

“Damn, you’re such a fucking annoying woman. You always cause trouble until the very end.”

The Marquis cursed quietly as he thought of Shiloh.

Then he headed towards the Marquis of Balton’s residence with hurried steps.

“Father? Why are you here so early? I heard you have something important to do today… … .”

When the Marquis returned home earlier than scheduled, Evelyn greeted him with a start.

He scolded my daughter.

“What are you doing, why don’t you pack your bags right now!”

“yes yes?”

The migration had to be expedited.

Before the filth Shiloh spreads gets on me, as soon as possible.

“There’s no time, move!”

“Oh, yes, yes!”

Evelyn ran into her room in a hurry without knowing what was going on.

* * *

“You’re saying they still haven’t caught the criminal?”

“I am sorry, Your Majesty.”

The next day, Perwin became anxious as there was still no news from Cayenne.

Even when I pestered the innocent secretary, all I got in return was an apology.

“shit…….”

He crumpled up the stack of papers.

I had to search the entire empire to find him, even if it meant searching for him. With the founding of the nation just around the corner, I couldn’t actively let down my guard.

In the capital, distinguished guests from home and abroad came to celebrate the founding of the country.

It was impossible to create a sense of unease during the festival period, which was meant to pray for the well-being of the nation and promote friendship and harmony with people from home and abroad.

The empress ordered the crowds witnessing the situation in the square to keep their mouths shut. She also warned her subjects to be careful of their words and actions until the founding of the country was complete.

The Empress also told Perwin to focus on preparing for the founding of the nation for the time being, but his mind was still focused on Cayenne.

There was a brutal criminal walking the streets, and I couldn’t just sit back and watch.

He glanced at his secretary.

“How is His Majesty the Emperor’s health?”

“Fortunately, his health is said to be improving rapidly.”

Fortunately, the Emperor’s health was recovering quickly after the temple healer arrived at the palace.

However, he could not rest easy yet. While the emperor was resting, he had to fill the vacuum left by the founding of the country.

Perwin ordered his secretary.

“From today, Sir Brecht will join the search for criminals.”

“Yes? Your Majesty, didn’t you say that you could no longer trust him?”

After interrogating Brecht, Perwin expelled him from the Imperial Guard.

Regardless of the fact that he had accused the Empress, he was so loyal to the Empress that he could not possibly be trusted.

“That’s why we need to get them involved in the search operation even more. If we can’t find the culprit, we need someone to take responsibility.”

“… … !”

“Maybe this time I’ll have to risk my life to find it.”

Perwin had no choice but to grit his teeth.

* * *

It’s already been a few days since I helped Cayenne escape.

‘Could he have left this country by now?’

I heard that he had been safely delivered to the port, avoiding inspection, but his whereabouts have been unknown since then.

‘Please at least contact me.’

I know it’s a crazy situation, but I haven’t heard anything since then, so I’ve been getting more and more worried day by day.

‘I’m sure you’re doing well.’

Because he’s a man who knows how to run away.

I believed that no news was good news and prayed for his safety.

Meanwhile, time passed quickly.

An invitation to the founding ceremony arrived at the Duke’s house.

The content was that a ball was being held at the palace to celebrate the foundation of the country, and that they were requested to attend and grace the occasion.

The only difference from usual is that the sender is the Empress, not Perwin.

I wanted to attend with Ikart, but he had gone to see Dean Octavius ​​and had not yet returned to the capital.

Having previously ignored his letters, I sent him a sincere letter this time.

It’s not just a greeting, but a very detailed description of your concerns.

But this time the problem was that Ikart was busy.

[Sorry. I think I’ll have to stay here for a while longer.

I’ll write to you again soon.]

“what…….”

I always sent my letters by filling up two sheets of stationery, but when I got a short note in reply, I felt empty.

Is this what mirror therapy is?

I headed to the toilet room with a bitter feeling.

“Good morning, miss!”

“The country has finally been founded!”

The founding of the nation.

As I listened to the lively greetings of the maids excited by the festive atmosphere, it gradually became real.

‘The third episode will start soon.’

How was the Founding episode?

I took a moment to collect my thoughts while the maids groomed me.

In the original, the Foundation Day was a day to commemorate the founding of the Emprion Empire, and was an event to pray for the well-being of the nation.

Minstrels sang of the empire’s greatness and founding myths, and in the streets, nobles and commoners alike mingled and enjoyed the festivities.

On the last day of the festival, a commemorative parade and fireworks display were also held.

‘The main event of the original will take place today.’

The first day of the National Foundation Festival, the Imperial Palace Ball.

This is where domestic aristocrats and foreign dignitaries are invited to socialize and this is where the event takes place.

Around episode 3, the male leads’ feelings for Seraphine also mature, and they confess their true feelings to Seraphine in front of everyone.

‘But there’s no way I could just sit back and watch Roselia do well as the heroine.’

If Seraphine takes the Perwin route, Roselia will act as his fiancee and cause trouble.

If Seraphine takes the Ikart route, Roselia will act as his younger sister and sister-in-law.

If Seraphine takes the Brecht route, well… Roselia will start casting habitual evil spells without any relation.

‘What I’m saying is that she is faithful to her role as a villainess, one way or another.’

The male protagonists naturally see through the villainess’s evil plan and rescue Seraphine.

It’s a very simple story where Seraphine and the male protagonist, who have confirmed their feelings for each other, enjoy a street date on the last day of the festival.

‘Sounds good, a street date.’

I was really envious of the original characters who could indulge in heart-pounding, romantic love games.

This time, I have to play minesweeper and risk my life.

“Ugh.”

I am a person who is only covered with fireworks, fighting!

How many hours did you sit there like that?

As the grooming was about to end, Seraphine came to the duke’s residence.

“Princess, you are my lady!”

Seraphine, wearing a lovely pink dress, came running towards me.

“Come slowly. If you run, you might fall.”

“Hehe. Your Highness, you are always kind.”

Seeing her smiling brightly as always made it feel like all of this was a lie.

‘It seems like nothing has changed.’

Perwin broke off the engagement with me, Icart left to find Dean Octavius, Kaien’s daytime personality was sent to another dimension, and her nighttime personality went into exile overseas.

Even though everything had changed, Seraphine still acted innocently as if nothing had happened.

“What’s wrong, Your Highness? You don’t look well. Is it because of that servant…?”

Seraphine looked at my complexion with concern.

Although she did not know the full details, she knew about the treason that had become public knowledge.

How surprised I was to learn that Cayenne was the mastermind behind the treason that shook the entire empire.

But she was the first to worry about me. She said that if a man who was a servant of the Duke’s family got caught up in a rebellion, it would be a big deal for the Princess.

It was Seraphine who took care of the Duke’s servants on my behalf while I was busy with Cayenne’s business.

“No, that’s not it. Don’t worry.”

I shook my head.

“Really?”

“Of course. I was just thinking about something else for a moment.”

“Well then, that’s fortunate… … .”

She still had a worried look on her face. I slyly changed the subject to family.

“By the way, how is Viscount Blaine?”

“Oh, yes! My father is doing well too.”

She answered with the aforementioned face.

“It’s inconvenient because my father doesn’t go out freely. But I’ve decided to visit my mother in my hometown soon.”

“That’s good.”

Recently, she has been enjoying the affection of her family instead of the male protagonist’s affection.

‘Now that I think about it, the one who has changed the most might be Seraphine.’

Her pale complexion had turned rosy, and her slender arms and legs had become strong enough for me to rely on.

Above all, she was by my side as a friend who was neither a lover nor a rival, but an inseparable friend.

“Miss, it’s time to leave.”

“Okay. Let’s go, Seraphine Youngae.”

“yes!”

At the butler’s call, I got into the carriage with Seraphine.
