The Villainess Whom I Had Served for 13 Years Has Fallen - Chapter 366



366 – Meteo is Always Right -1-

Warm sun.

“Mm-hmm.”

Fresh breeze.

“Mm-hmm.”

And then.

“Eeeeeek!!!”

Huge ice.

The lady, seeing the ice filling the western canal, snorted and pointed with her finger.

“Ricardo!”

“Yes.”

“Is it the sea?”

“…Yes?”

“Can I wear a swimsuit?”

What should I answer? It is indeed the sea, but seeing the scene that cannot be called a sea, I was pondering what to answer to the lady.

Sea?

Or was it once a sea?

With an awkward smile, I shook my head and answered.

“It’s a cold sea.”

“Isn’t the sea originally cold?”

“Let’s call it the preliminary north.”

“Eeeek!! The West is ruined…!”

“Isn’t it amazing?”

“Yeah.”

I let out a small sigh as I stared blankly at the frozen sea. I didn’t expect it to freeze to the point where the horizon was no longer visible. I didn’t expect it to go this far.

It showed how strong Elicia’s loyalty was, but seeing the damage she caused made me think it would be significant. Well, it’s not something I should worry about.

The frozen sea was bringing in a chill.

The sun was shining brightly in the sky above the West, but the blowing wind was unbearably cold.

The lady sniffled at the cold from the frozen sea, which was enough to make the residents of the West, who usually wore light clothes, dress warmly.

“…Sniff.”

“Are you cold?”

“Yeah.”

“Shall we go back to the lodging?”

“Yeah.”

It was unfortunate, but there was no choice.

I could see the lady’s bikini after the work was done. I thought it wouldn’t be too late to melt the sea after subduing the beast and involving the crown prince and Wolfgang in the complicated incident. Anyway, I was determined to see the lady’s bikini. I wasn’t harboring any selfish desires, just a clear conscience. I would be upset if she couldn’t try on the new swimsuit.

Unlike me, who overcame sadness, Darvav had a look of losing the world.

“Oh… No.”

“…”

“If the sea for swimming freezes… I can’t see Rosanna’s bikini.”

Darvav, who wanted to drop a meteor on the West’s canal right away, clenched his fist and held back his tears. He couldn’t do a good deed for others.

“Huuu… Meteor…”

“Hold on. I’ll wear it for you later.”

“There’s no guarantee that ‘later’ will come in my life.”

“…I’ll wear the one you showed me first.”

“The… the black one?”

“Yes. So, hold on well.”

Darvav clenched his fist and overcame the pain. Perhaps feeling greater joy than when he won a victory on the battlefield, Darvav smiled and watched the tragedy of the West to his heart’s content.

“Today, I feel like having a third child.”

“Personally, I want a younger sister who resembles the lady. I hope she doesn’t inherit her personality.”

“Let’s try.”

“What are you doing!”

“Hahahaha!”

“I will support you, Lord.”

The wizards of the West were casting spells towards the frozen sea. From fire magic to shock magic that breaks ice, they were making every effort to open the canal.

From a distance, it looked like a comedy.

The wizards looked like they were making small holes for ice fishing.

“It looks like it will take more than ten days.”

“Yes, it seems we need to work for about fifteen days to open the waterway.”

“The damage will be considerable.”

“It might not be a bad idea to buy some land in the West at this time.”

“Not a bad thought.”

The owner of the tragedy just clenched his fist and sighed.

“…”

Wolfgang Louis couldn’t keep his mouth shut as he looked at the sea of the West.

“…”

His lips were moving like a goldfish’s, and he was trembling with his fists clenched. He couldn’t come up with a solution to the current situation either.

Ships the size of medium-sized mansions were densely settled in the harbor, and merchants were stomping their feet while constantly puffing on cigarettes. Wolfgang would know too. If he didn’t come up with an alternative quickly, a riot would break out.

– Creak…

Darvav, who was looking at the frozen canal, slowly approached Wolfgang. He put his hand on Wolfgang’s shoulder and spoke with a friendly face.

“Hey, Marquis Wolfgang.”

“…”

“I guess I have to take back my words about erasing your family from the map if I see your face again.”

“…”

“It looks like it will disappear even if I don’t erase it.”

Wolfgang’s complexion turned pale due to Darvav’s sarcasm.

“The world is really harsh.”

“…”

“Who would have known that the sea of the West would freeze overnight? Looking at the scale, it seems that ordinary wizards wouldn’t even dare to touch it…”

“It’s okay.”

“Is that so?”

“The West is not that weak.”

“Hmm… I don’t think so.”

-Abby!!!! I’m freezing to death!

Darvab nodded at Olivia’s suggestion to return to the mansion and said to Marquis Wolfgang.

“If we drop multiple meteors, it should solve the problem. Is there a wizard in the West who can use meteors?”

“…No.”

“I see… It seems like it will take more than 10 days, and the damage will be enormous.”

Louis glared at the sneering Darvab and exhaled roughly. It was clear that Desmond was responsible, and seeing him pretending to be concerned made Louis furious.

Although he wanted to grab him by the collar right away, Wolfgang Louis could only remain silent and suppress his anger.

“I will escort you to the Wolfgang mansion.”

Darvab waved his hand and replied.

“Desmond will go to his private villa. That would be better for the Marquis as well.”

A piercing gaze was felt from behind.

The eyes of Wolfgang, who hated the person who had greatly shaken the family. And the cold gaze of the prince, whose hair had been pulled by the lady, was felt without concealment from behind.

“…Desmond Darvab…!”

“You won’t get away with this.”

The lady, who was riding in the first-class cabin, turned her head and spoke to the prince who was with Wolfgang.

“What are you looking at?”

The prince glared at the lady and replied.

“Today, I will definitely repay this humiliation.”

“Tell that to your dad.”

“…”

“You can’t mess with us.”

-Quaaak.

*

The prince was calming his anger at the Wolfgang mansion.

“Hoo….”

His anger had reached its peak due to all the unresolved issues.

He had been insulted, heard curses about the emperor, and had his hair pulled by the lady.

The prince, determined to make them pay for this, was only exhaling roughly while wetting his dry throat.

Louis was watching the crown prince, who was wiping his dry forehead. The more negative feelings the crown prince had towards Desmond, the more benefits Louis would receive.

Although there was a mountain of documents to deal with, he thought it was more important to first ensure the crown prince’s safety.

“I apologize for showing you such an unpleasant sight.”

In response to Wolfgang’s apology, the crown prince shook his head. It was fine.

“It’s fine. Desmond has already shown me enough unpleasant sights that I’m not even surprised anymore…”

“I should have insisted on escorting you in our carriage, but I was short-sighted. I apologize.”

“No, it was my stubbornness. Marquis, don’t worry about it and focus on your work.”

The crown prince shook his head as he spoke.

“Let’s stop talking about this and discuss something constructive.”

“Understood.”

As soon as the crown prince gave the order, Louis clapped his hands and called the man beyond the door.

“Steward.”

The steward, who opened the door as soon as Louis spoke, entered the room carrying a large map.

The crown prince frowned as he looked at the elderly steward.

“Who is that?”

Louis waved his hand as if to say not to worry.

“He is the steward of the Wolfgang family. He has served since the previous generation, so there is no need to worry.”

“If the marquis says so.”

The Wolfgang family’s steward spread the large map on the table. Pointing to the place marked with a red circle, Louis spoke.

“This is where the western sea route passes.”

“Hmm…”

“And this place.”

Louis pointed to the place marked with a black circle.

“This is the habitat of the monstrous beasts.”

“…”

“The sea is frozen up to the entrance of the monstrous beasts’ habitat.”

“That will make the movement easier.”

“Yes.”

“We need to make Darbav fight the monstrous beasts one-on-one, but in this situation, we can’t deal with Darbav.”

“No, we can.”

Wolfgang shook his head and pointed to the place marked with a blue circle.

“We plan to split Desmond’s forces in half here.”

The Crown Prince raised his eyebrows as he looked at the small island marked with a blue circle.

“An uninhabited island?”

“Yes, this uninhabited island is where the pirates reside. Desmond’s butler and other knights will move to subdue the pirates, while the knights of Darvav and Wolfgang will participate in the subjugation of the beast.”

“Indeed… this way, we can catch both the beast and Darvav.”

“If Darvav dies while subjugating the beast, that would be ideal, but even if we deal with Darvav after he’s exhausted from the subjugation, it wouldn’t be a bad thing.”

“Deal with him… you mean make him disappear.”

The two men let out a sinister laugh as they prepared for the grand scheme.

*

At the same time.

Desmond was also sitting at a table discussing the operation.

“…They must be thinking this way for the subjugation battle.”

“Targeting my father…”

“I also think, like Ricardo said, that they will target me in this operation. The Emperor wouldn’t suddenly target Desmond without reason. The Crown Prince must be involved.”

Kyle, gripping his teacup, asked Darvav with fierce eyes.

“It’s too dangerous.”

Darvav shook his head with a small smile at Kyle’s concern.

“Kyle.”

“Yes.”

“Meteor is always right.”

“…”

“Grow quickly so that you can use Meteor too.”

“I will try.”

I gave a small smile to Kyle, who couldn’t erase his worries, and spoke my thoughts softly.

“I will subjugate the beast.”

“…!”

“And I plan to involve other forces besides Wolfgang.”

A smile crept up on Ricardo’s lips, more sinister than anyone else present.
