“Yes, sure.”

Whether it’s the insane murderer, Prince One, or the licentious Prince Two, I didn’t want to encounter any princes. Princes, what are they? My wish is to keep a beautiful distance from all the characters in the original work.

As I sighed, Karl spoke.

“If it’s money, there should be more princes than artifacts, right?”

…Did even the passing dogs outside the castle hear the rumor that I’m crazy for Prince Vayce Pallone?

“If you have time to talk nonsense, repay my money.”

As soon as I cut him off, Karl tilted his head defiantly.

“Really.”

⭐️⭐️⭐️

The one who came after hearing the rumor wasn’t just Karl. Damn it, Vayce Pallone came to see me. In broad daylight!

It happened when all the maids were gathered in their work attire. I was called out by Vayce Pallone in front of everyone. This would add another rumor to the existing ones.

“Damn it.”

Vayce, waiting in the courtyard, scanned me up and down as soon as he saw me. His gaze was colder and more blatant than when I first saw him at the capital’s restaurant.

“Was there a man?”

Thinking that I should completely separate myself from him, I replied defiantly as soon as I sat across from him.

“If you have been busy avoiding me with the excuse of being busy, you have never properly met me. Yet, you got caught up with a man. You’re indeed an unusual woman, just as the rumors say.”

Vayce swept his hair back with one hand. Seeing him dismiss even the formal tone that he had prepared, it seemed that he was furious about me having a man separately.

“I’ve been considerate of you as Lady Vee’s sister until now. I was a fool. You’re a cheap woman, not even knowing if you’re like this.”

“Hey.”

Regardless of any misunderstanding, there was no reason to hear such insulting words. Especially from a perverted son of a b**ch conducting dirty investigations with countless women.

“Be careful with your words.”

“You be careful.”

“What did you say?”

“Despite being Lady Vee’s sister, how dare you, a maidservant, openly look at and talk back to me?”

“Uh…”

When a person is too angry, it seems that their mouth gets blocked. I wanted to retort right away, but my body trembled with anger that I couldn’t follow him.

“It may not be pleasant to marry a worn-out woman like you, but still, you must have some use.”

Each word he uttered was like a curse, and I don’t even know where to start from.

“Am I insane? Marry someone like you?”

“Someone like you? Ha. There are rumors spreading like wildfire that you’ve been sticking to me a lot. Is there any man who would take you away? I should be thankful that I’m quietly offering you marriage.”

What is this crazy pervert saying since earlier? I couldn’t stand listening any longer. I knew I should let it go quietly for now, but how could I endure hearing such things from this insane perverted son?
I placed the teacup that was on the table on Vayce Pallone. It was very disappointing that what was immediately in front of me was lukewarm black tea, not hot soup.

“What is this!”

Vayce angrily stood up from his seat.

“Damn it!”

Cursing loudly, he raised his hand as if he would slap me at any moment. It seemed like he was struggling to control himself with an expression that barely restrained his swaying hand. Perhaps he remembered that this was inside the palace.

“Get married. I’ll fix your bad temper for you.”

“Snap out of it. There’s no chance I’ll ever marry you.”

“Well, let’s see if those words still come out on the bed later.”

I wanted to give him the finger at least with both hands, but I restrained myself. Vayce Pallone, who glared at me with a reddish-blue face, suddenly turned his back with a loud noise. I walked away towards his retreating back.

“Crazy pervert. Someone like that deserves divine punishment. You should cut that part off for sure!”

I wished with all my heart as I walked away that he would encounter a gang of ruffians on the alley or something.

… Did my prayer reach the heavens?

The next day, I heard that Vayce Pallone had encountered ruffians while wandering around drunk late at night and that part was indeed cut off.

It seems that there is a god after all. I wanted to hug and praise the one who saved many lives, even though I didn’t know who that person was.

With this, I was relieved that the marriage with Vayce Pallone was no longer a concern, but I received another blow from Floria.

“…Are you suggesting we proceed with the marriage?”

Floria nodded.

‘No, isn’t this going too far?’

Even if she wants revenge on me, how could she ask me to marry a man who has become infamous throughout the kingdom! Unable to continue speaking, Floria took my hand and began to persuade me. Although she had a sorry expression, it was clear that she found it amusing. The fact that Vayce Pallone became famous as a groom seemed to be quite enjoyable for her.
