“That’s right. Since it’s come to this, let’s turn the Duchess’s, no, the Duke’s infamy into fame! It’s better not to be underestimated in this situation.”
“……You’re just talking nonsense, aren’t you?”
“How could that be!”
While speaking so, the pupils were clearly trembling mercilessly.
‘It must be uneasy.’
Considering that the existing head of the Duke’s family had suddenly died, and all that remained were the crown prince and a young Duchess named Elizabeth who seemed to have lost her mind.
‘In this situation, the servants might turn on me and run away.’
During a zombie apocalypse, class doesn’t matter. They need someone to rely on for now and are leaning on me, but who knows when they might turn.
I gently rested my hand on the shoulder of the butler who was carrying a silver bucket filled with Holy Water, groaning and transporting it.
“Butler.”
“Yes, Duke.”
“If anyone in this mansion is caught doing something wrong, I will immediately throw them to the zombies as food, so let them know.”
“Huh? Ah…… understood.”
The butler began to hiccup as he turned pale upon hearing my words. Fine. The already tarnished reputation, it doesn’t matter if it gets more damaged here.
“You understand my words, right?”
“Yes, of course.”
“Good, keep up the good work.”
I sent the exhausted soldiers back to their quarters, glanced at the mage who was reporting this unprecedented situation to the tower with a crystal ball, and headed for the Duke’s office.
I had to roughly sketch a design to request the creation of water guns and sprayers in the family’s workshop.
“I’m busy, busy!”
“Um, Duchess.”
“I’m busy, so let’s talk later, Butler.”
“I’m not the Butler.”
“Huh?”
When I felt the tugging at my sleeve and turned around, there stood Michael with an expression that looked either angry or tired.
“You ran away with the Holy Water, and you seem to have forgotten the monastery chasing after you.”
Um, I’m busy, so can’t we talk later? No, we can’t?
“Oh, I didn’t realize you were there.”
“I know everything, Duchess.”
Damn. Yes, I know. You.
When the submale lead is carrying the title of the best knight with blonde hair and white walls, he’s practically a rolling presence, so how could I not know?
‘But what if you know?’
I had been away from home for more than three hundred days. The modern person, stained with all kinds of modern selfishness, was fatigued by the uncomfortable dress attire, the complicated ceremonies, and the unwilling role of villainess.
In other words, I really didn’t care anymore.
“Duchess, you must immediately return that Holy Water to the temple…”
“I don’t want to? That Holy Water is mine now?”
“……Duchess!”
Michael’s blue eyes sparkled at my unequivocal and confident attitude. It was a threatening momentum, but I didn’t flinch at all.
‘So, what?’
Anyway, the Pope had promised me. As long as I drew the Holy Water myself and filled the bucket, I could take it.
He probably didn’t expect me to take an enormous amount enough to see the bottom of the spring, but thinking about the scheming Pope, I didn’t feel sorry at all.
“This is my rightful possession, brought with the Pope’s permission. On what evidence and logic does Sir Michael demand that I return the holy water that became my possession?”
“Isn’t it an unjust result obtained by the Princess through her special trickery? Originally, one should not be able to take so much of the holy water that it would run out.”
“On the contrary, it might be a blessing from Lord Ardel, who pitied me due to the Pope’s true corruption.”
Words of refutation flowed like a clear mountain stream, as if honey had been spread on them. Michael stared at me with a slightly grimaced expression and threw a question.
“…How did you do it?”
“What do you mean?”
“Didn’t the Princess… perform a miracle that only a saint can perform?”
I remembered that Zero had arbitrarily opened my job characteristic as a saint. And that as soon as the holy water touched my hand, nothing could be said but that a clear blue light was poured.
“It’s a dog’s dream.”
“Pardon?”
“Sir Michael dreamed a dog’s dream because he was worn out from fatigue. Do you understand?”
It was a forced logic. Naturally, Michael refuted me.
“A dog’s dream? I was perfectly fine then. Agile enough to catch a princess who was trying to run away with a bucket filled with holy water.”
“But do you think it makes sense, Sir? The most notorious villain in the institution, that Elizabeth Keaton, can you guarantee that there would be a miracle for her to be chosen as a saint?”
“That’s….”
‘He’s at a loss for words.’
Because I performed Elizabeth Keaton’s original role excellently, the other submale leads, including Michael, gnashed their teeth whenever they saw me.
‘Elizabeth’ was indeed the owner of a terribly failed schedule. She was always busy, chasing after the Crown Prince, her unrequited former fiancé, plotting against the rival female lead.
Moreover, she ceaselessly devised schemes for the 24 hours of the day to trample on the submale leads who were attracted like butterflies to the charm of the female lead.
All the while managing her beautiful appearance with thoroughness, she was truly an inspiration for a villainess.
‘It would be difficult to recognize such an Elizabeth Keaton as a saint, wouldn’t it?’
An Indifferent Woman is the One Men Desire the Most
One-line summary: The female lead is actually cold-hearted and extremely rational. She has stage-by-stage relationships and won’t two-time, but there will always be someone who secretly likes her.
This novel has the following triggers, so if you’re sensitive to these, please don’t read:
1. The female lead has had many relationships, but she treated each one seriously and broke up properly.
It’s just that the men unilaterally pestered her incessantly. For the female lead, when she doesn’t like someone anymore, she simply doesn’t like them.
(This applies to her relationships with Male Lead 1, 2, 3, and 4 as well, but she’s loyal in each 1-on-1 relationship!)
2. In this novel, Male Lead 2 and the female lead kiss in a car, and Male Lead 1 sees it and beats up Male Lead 2.
The female lead calls the police and sends both Male Lead 1 and 2 to the police station! Male Lead 1 begs the female lead not to break up with him.
3. Male Lead 1 has a gentle appearance but an obsessive personality.
Male Lead 2 has a delicate and soft appearance, slightly green tea-like (two-faced).
Male Lead 3 is a youthful college student and a smart person who has secretly liked the female lead for a long time.
Male Lead 4 is the female lead’s father’s special assistant, a business elite with deep, hidden thoughts.
4. At the beginning of this novel, the female lead has already broken up with Male Lead 1 (Chapter 4) and gotten back together with Male Lead 2 (ex-boyfriend).
5. Enter with caution if you have triggers!!!
