I Am The Villainess With A Maxed-Out Luck Stat - Chapter 177



Only Noblemtl

177. The Ultimate Handsome Appraiser

I left the palace with Prince Louis and Princess Hertia without realizing it.

The escorts and maids from the Kingdom of Pyron were also present.

“Your Majesty! Just a moment, just a moment!”

Marquis Balton, who had been pursuing him, desperately tried to capture Prince Louis, but was blocked by the heavy guard.

“It seems there was some misunderstanding, so let’s… … talk!”

Marquis Balton, who had been holding on tenaciously, only became quiet after his limbs were restrained by his guards.

After forcibly sending him back, Prince Louis spoke in a troubled tone.

“Princess Roselia, we’ve caused you trouble because of us. I think we’ll be able to feel at ease once we see that you safely board the carriage.”

“Oh, yes.”

When Prince Louis apologized politely, I nodded absentmindedly.

Thanks to that, I headed to the carriage stop with escorts on both sides.

‘Is this okay?’

Ciderpass is good, but I think it’s gotten too big.

Prince Louis and Princess Hertia can return to their home country, but I will continue to encounter Margrave Balton.

However, Princess Hertia, the real cause of all the problems, seemed very happy.

“Sister, sister. It’s fate that we met like this, so why don’t you come to our country with me? I’ll treat you like a benefactor for the rest of my life!”

“Haha. Thank you for your words.”

I laughed it off awkwardly.

It was because, after finding out that Princess Hertia was a one-man show, he became extremely afraid of going against her wishes.

But Hertia puffed out her cheeks sharply, as if she didn’t like my answer.

“I’m not just saying this! I have a feeling that I’ll become best friends with you. Or how about your older sister? I only have an older brother, so I’ve always wanted an older sister!”

Ssamdak’s older sister…

This is really an unattractive offer.

“Princess Hertia. I appreciate your kind consideration, but I cannot leave this country.”

“Oh my, why?!”

“I am a member of the nobility of this country, and my brother and father are both here.”

At that moment, Hertia’s eyes lit up.

“Sister, did you have a brother? Was he handsome? I’m sure he was handsome.”

Maybe the eyes of a beast that has discovered its prey.

‘I think I just stepped on a large landmine.’

I waved my hands hurriedly.

“No, no. Unfortunately, my brother has a very unique face. If he were unpopular, he wouldn’t have a single fiancé even after he passed the marriageable age. He’s perfect except for his looks, so it’s really a shame.”

“Huh. Really? Looking at your beauty, I think your brother is also extraordinary. You’re not lying, are you?”

You’re quick-witted.

“Haha. That’s a lie.”

I avoided his sharp gaze and changed the subject.

“By the way, Princess, how did you know I was a woman? I thought no one would recognize me if I disguised myself as a man.”

“Oh, that?”

Even if their faces look similar, who would know that they’ve changed from a man to a woman?

Could it be that highly developed handsome men have extraordinary facial recognition abilities…?

“You just took a picture?”

“yes?”

“I can’t see the handsome guy who helped me at the fountain… …. I looked around the banquet hall and saw a familiar blue-haired man? That’s why I called him. Maybe he knows the handsome guy?”

Hertia blinked her large eyes like a deer.

“But I thought it was really me. You never know what’s going on with people, you know? This is really a jackpot.”

This can’t be happening.

That one was just a picture, but I revealed my identity because my feet were numb?

‘Oh, I should’ve just stayed still.’

Even if I had kept my mouth shut, the manager would have stepped in and resolved the issue anyway.

As if reading my frustration, Prince Louis chuckled.

Hertia asked cheerfully.

“I’m the one who wants to ask. How did you change from being a pretty girl to a prince?”

“Oh, that. It’s disguise magic.”

“Disguise magic?”

“yes.”

I blew it without hesitation.

As a career lawyer, I’m used to these kinds of excuses.

“Actually, I’m in the magic tool business. This is a prototype that’s currently under development, but I wrote it because the situation seemed urgent.”

“Hey, there’s something like that. Can I try that too?”

“It still has many shortcomings. It’s an embarrassing gift to give to a princess.”

Even though I made it clear that I was in trouble, Hertia did not back down.

“It’s not that bad! It was really amazing to see my sister transform into a handsome, no, a handsome prince.”

“thanks-”

“I want to disguise him as a handsome man forever and make him my husband.”

“……yes?”

I think I just heard something ominous.

Hertia, who had been staring at my face, smiled brightly.

“I’m joking!”

“Ah, as expected―”

“I’m only half serious.”

“yes?”

“Even a scared face is cute. It’s not common to find such beauties, whether male or female. I told you I’m good at judging people.”

“… … .”

Princess Hertia’s gaze was persistent as she spoke like that.

Mom, what is this? I’m scared.

“Hertia, stop embarrassing your sister.”

Then Prince Louis spoke in a stern voice.

Hertia grumbled.

“Tch, when did I ever cause you any trouble? Are you uncomfortable because of me, Unnie?”

“yes.”

“yes?”

“… … You.”

“?”

There was an awkward silence between me and Hertia for a moment.

“Anyway, Sister, I’m really serious. Come visit the Kingdom of Pyron anytime.”

“Well, if you’re just going to have fun… … .”

“Wow! You promised?”

Princess Hertia held out her little finger.

“Come on, Hertia. Should I send you off now?”

As we arrived at the carriage stop, Prince Louis took Hertia away from me.

He came towards me.

“Your Majesty, thank you for today.”

“Oh, me too.”

“And please take good care of your shoulder wound.”

“!”

I didn’t even realize that the shawl had slipped down. He gently placed it over my shoulders.

“Then I’ll take my leave.”

He greeted me briefly and started to walk away from me, but I grabbed his collar without realizing it.

“Can we meet again?”

“Of course.”

He smiled faintly.

“You are a princess!”

“!”

At that moment, someone came running out of the carriage that had been stopped.

“Seraphine Youngae? You were here?”

Seraphine’s face was covered with sleep, as if she had been dozing off in the carriage.

“Yes. When the princess left the banquet hall in the middle of the banquet, I thought she was going to go home early, so I also went out to the carriage.”

“Oh my goodness. You must have waited a long time then.”

“I’m fine.”

Seraphine laughed, grabbing my hand.

“Let’s go, Your Majesty.”

As I got into the carriage, Prince Louis and Princess Hertia waved at me.

“See you later, sis!”

“… … See you later.”

I sat back in the chair, leaving the two behind.

Seraphine asked me about what happened at the banquet hall, but soon fell asleep, unable to overcome her drowsiness.

As I looked at her sleeping soundly, I also became quietly lost in thought.

Some time has passed.

The carriage seemed to gradually slow down, then soon stopped in front of Viscount Blaine.

“Young-ae Seraphine, I have arrived.”

“Ugh… … . Already?”

After making sure that Seraphine had safely entered the house, I turned the carriage towards the duke’s mansion.

Squeak.

“We have arrived, miss.”

As the carriage pulled into the duke’s residence, I got out of the carriage, tapping him on the shoulder.

“Sigh, I’m tired.”

It was just then.

“You’re back, my lady! Duke Ikart has sent an urgent message!”

“Anne?”

Anne, the maid who had been waiting in front of the duke’s residence, came running at a brisk pace.

When I opened the letter she gave me, there was a letter written in a familiar handwriting.

[Roselia, don’t be surprised and listen. Dean Octavius ​​has disappeared.]

“What is this?”

The contents of the letter were truly shocking.

Dean Octavius, who had been refusing to meet Icart for health reasons, suddenly disappeared.

I hurriedly asked around and it seemed like he headed south this morning.

There was also a message that Ikart himself would be leaving for there immediately.

“Miss, and this too.”

Anne hesitated and handed over the black envelope.

It was a letter from an information agent.

[Found Cayenne’s whereabouts.

Current location is on the southern coast.]

“… …The coast?”

Didn’t you leave this country safely?

* * *

“What kind of embarrassment is this because of you!”

“Oh, Father!”

Marquis Balton, who lost sight of Prince Louis, struck Cedric with his cane.

Even though he was beating his son without mercy, he still didn’t feel any relief.

Not only did I lose face because of this, but my family’s reputation was also in jeopardy.

“Entry ban? How on earth are we going to handle this!”

Prince Louis would not accept my apology. Perhaps he would accept it if I asked the Emperor to mediate?

No, then the situation would have been more likely to become complicated.

No other pointed method came to mind.

“We have to find a solution. There has to be a way to turn the situation around. Somehow… … .”

It was at that moment that he was leaving the palace with anxious steps. Suddenly, he could not feel the presence of the person who should have been by his side.

“Cedric?”

He looked around hurriedly, but his son was nowhere to be found.

At that moment, someone hit the back of his neck hard.

“Cedric? Where have you gone! Cedric… …! Ugh!”

Marquis Balton fainted with a scream that was like a terminal scream.
