I Am The Villainess With A Maxed-Out Luck Stat - Chapter 175



Only Noblemtl

175. Our broken engagement can be reversed.

As soon as Perwin entered the banquet hall, loud music and people’s laughter filled his ears.

People dressed up as if competing under the bright lights.

The nobles who discovered him approached him with smiles on their faces.

“Your Majesty Perwin!”

“Where have you been?”

People who pretend to be friendly with those in power.

He felt like he would feel nauseous just being in there.

“Your Majesty, are you okay? You look pale.”

“… … .”

“majesty?”

Ignoring the tinnitus-like voice, he looked at the main stage.

On the stage there were people dancing in pairs.

As we approached the main stage, the music also got louder.

Through the rumbling noise, he grabbed someone’s hand.

“Roselia.”

“……majesty?”

Roselia opened her eyes wide.

His eyes were red as if they were on fire.

Her beautiful blonde hair was in a messy mess, flowing down over her forehead.

His shirt was half-unbuttoned, a disheveled look you would never normally see.

Perwin took her hand and pulled her along.

Then a faint smell of alcohol came from him.

“Talk to me for a minute.”

I didn’t even know what I wanted to talk about with Roselia.

I just wanted to undo what was wrong.

Even at the moment of abandoning the empress, she came to mind.

Mother couldn’t do anything, but maybe Roselia could somehow turn it back.

Somehow… … .

“Your Majesty Ferwin, have you been drinking?”

Roselia frowned.

“Uh. I don’t think I can do it with my mind at all.”

“!”

He hugged Roselia tightly.

Roselia was so shocked that she froze, and Perwin hugged her tighter.

“… … .”

Thump, thump, thump.

Even the sound of voices, which had been like noise, could no longer be heard, buried in the loud heartbeat.

A warm sensation spread from the part that touched her.

Holding her in my arms, my awkwardness has eased a little.

It was at that moment that my fingertips, which had been trembling with anxiety and fear, gradually calmed down.

“You are being rude to my partner.”

“!”

A rough hand grabbed Perwin by the back of his neck and dragged him away.

He was so drunk that he staggered around on stage. People nearby hurriedly left his seat.

As soon as I left Roselia, the momentary sense of stability disappeared like a mirage.

“You… … .”

Perwin, who had been staggering, raised his head.

A man who had been guarding Roselia’s side, who had not been seen until a moment ago, came into view.

“Are you Prince Louis? Why are you with my fiancé?”

“I guess you’ve had a lot to drink. This person is here as my partner.”

“what?”

“Your Majesty is no longer His Majesty’s fiancée.”

“… … !”

“If you know, please get out of the way.”

Prince Louis raised his lips politely, but there was not a hint of a smile in his eyes.

Then he turned around and covered Roselia as if protecting her.

As Roselia disappeared from Perwin’s sight, he grabbed Prince Louis’ shoulder urgently.

“No, the princess is still my fiancée.”

He gritted his teeth.

The murmur of the people around them grew louder.

“Well, I guess your highness might think so too.”

Prince Louis shrugged his shoulders as if nothing had happened.

Roselia stepped forward.

“You told me that you were the one who asked to break off the engagement first, right? I accepted it.”

“Roselia.”

Perwin’s face twisted in pain.

“Roselia, it was my mistake.”

“Is this a mistake?”

“Yes. I did that because I was so angry back then. So, you can turn back the clock. If you forgive everything that happened in the past and pretend it never happened… … .”

“no.”

As he continued to talk nonsense, Roselia cut him down with a single stroke of her sword.

“I don’t know what your whim is this time, but I can’t bring back an engagement that’s already broken.”

“Roselia!”

Perwin’s face fell.

Roselia tried hard not to notice the despair on his face.

“Your Majesty, come here.”

Prince Louis naturally turned Roselia’s gaze towards me and winked at his subjects.

“Your Majesty seems to have drunk too much. It would be best for you to take him away.”

“Oh, yes, yes.”

“Your Majesty, you are very drunk. Please go now.”

His courtiers hurriedly approached him and tried to support him, but Perwin shook off their hands.

“But Roselia… … !”

Roselia, walking away with another man, floated into view.

She should have been by his side originally.

As her one and only fiancé, it was only right that he should stand by her side.

The subject said, looking embarrassed.

“Your Majesty, there are many eyes to see.”

It was only later that Perwin noticed the gazes of the people around him.

There were dozens of pairs of eyes looking at me in shock and bewilderment.

“Please go quickly.”

He was led out of the banquet hall by his servants’ hands.

Even at the last moment of leaving the banquet hall, he couldn’t take his longing gaze away.

* * *

“are you okay?”

As Perwin disappeared, the manager looked at my complexion.

“……huh.”

“really?”

“No, actually.”

The manager patted my shoulder as if he knew this would happen.

“I think it would be better to take a break.”

He and I came down from the main stage and sat down at a table.

“Okay. Drink it and you’ll feel better.”

“thank you.”

As I drank the tea he brought me, my pounding heart gradually calmed down.

‘What the hell is going on?’

It was surprising that Perwin showed up drunk, but who would have thought he would hug me?

‘There is no shame like that.’

But I couldn’t shake him off right away because the wide arms that held me were trembling.

‘How much alcohol did you have to drink?’

I wondered how much he had drunk to be so incompetent, but on the other hand, I was concerned about his bloodshot eyes.

Somehow, he looks desperate, like someone on the edge of a cliff.

‘Did something happen?’

No, it’s not.

When I started to worry about useless things without realizing it, I immediately shook my head.

As the manager said, they are now in a broken engagement.

I shook off the thoughts, telling myself that I didn’t need to worry about it anymore.

Then the manager opened his mouth.

“You’re right, Roselia.”

“huh?”

“It’s not the shiny exterior that counts, it’s what’s inside.”

“What are you talking about all of a sudden?”

Of course, what’s important is the inside of a person. Why are you saying such an obvious thing?

It was at that time that I was resting and chatting with him.

“Oh, Nanny! That stalker pushed me into the fountain? Isn’t that attempted murder?”

“Please keep your dignity, princess!”

A commotion was heard at the entrance of the banquet hall, and then Princess Hertia and her servants came rushing into the hall.

Cedric was next to me, covering my face with one hand.

“I pushed the princess! I swear I never did that.”

“You swindler, you liar! You tried to kill me!”

‘… … That’s right. Now that I think about it, Hertia was there too.’

The sound of the two people fighting and cursing caused the court orchestra to stop playing.

In an instant, everyone in the banquet hall turned to look at him.

“Cedric, what’s all this noise!”

“father!”

At that moment, Marquis Balton hurriedly approached Cedric.

He was talking with envoys from the Kingdom of Pyron.

‘It looks like we were in the middle of an important conversation.’

Not only did my son show up out of nowhere making a fuss, but Princess Hertia was right next to him. Marquis Balton looked greatly embarrassed.

“Oh, Princess… …! Inseok, what kind of accident did you cause this time?”

“Oh, Father! I really didn’t do anything!”

“Shut up! What are you doing, apologizing to the princess right now!”

“Huh. Now I finally have someone I can talk to.”

Princess Hertia snorted when Marquis Balton forced Cedric to apologize.

“You said Marquis Balton? This stalker did me a great wrong. He’s going to have to pay the price.”

“……yes?”

Cedric felt wronged when Marquis Balton opened his eyes.

“Father, I really didn’t do anything! I just caught the princess when she stumbled in the fountain and almost fell over.”

“what?”

“And look at this! I’m the one who gives it to the princess… …!”

As he lowered the hand that had been covering his face, the hidden bruises were revealed.

Anyone who looked at him could tell that he had been badly beaten.

The room was in an uproar at the shocking visual.

At this moment, everyone must have had the same thought in their head.

‘The princess really beat up Cedric?’

No, there is a weight class difference regardless of gender.

But Princess Hertia’s maids were avoiding eye contact.

“I had a bad habit of behaving badly, so I helped him get his head back in order.”

Princess Hertia puffed out her chest in triumph.

Cedric sobbed.

“I was really annoyed and didn’t want to talk about it… … .”
