As I was about to cross the passage connecting the main building to the annex, heading towards my room tucked away in a corner of the annex, I halted at the sight of someone standing at the entrance.
It was my half-sister Briella, waiting for me. Tilting her head to one side, she flashed a smile.
“Playing around again, I see?”
“…….”
They say if you endure three times, even murder is excusable.
‘Just bear with it…’
With that thought, I tried to pass by Briella. But then she spoke.
“This time it’s Lady Veronica, isn’t it? Oh, by your expression, you didn’t know? The girl who pretended to be all sweet in front of you every day. Don’t you remember?”
Hearing Veronica’s name made me involuntarily stop in my tracks.
That woman with intense purple hair and red eyes was one of the villains in the original story, notorious for tormenting the heroine.
‘So this is when Casien starts meeting her.’
Although Briella’s news was surprising, it didn’t anger me.
‘I really don’t care anymore.’
Why did I struggle to live according to the original story? It’s not like breaking off my engagement with the male lead would immediately lead to an engagement with the villain.
My eventual engagement with the villain, Leuys, is due to my family, the Ebel house, being deemed useful for his rebellion.
Leuys wouldn’t actually start his rebellion for about another two years. Would my breaking off the engagement with the male lead hasten the rebellion?
That seemed unlikely.
‘Even if it does, I’ll probably have already fled with a new identity.’
Then, Briella said,
“I heard they are going on a cozy date tomorrow… to the theater, was it? Anyway, too bad for you.”
Whether Casien and Veronica were really meeting, or if they were going to the theater tomorrow, I had no idea.
“So I’ve heard. And thanks for your concern.”
Yet, I replied just like that.
Briella seemed briefly flustered but soon sneered again, probably thinking I was pretending to be unaffected.
“Did he come today to cancel plans because he’s too busy chasing skirts again? If I were you, I’d be too embarrassed to show my face.”
“…….”
“And you’ve been engaged for four years now, right? Oh dear, is he asking to delay the wedding again?”
As I continued to remain silent, Briella eagerly started to belittle me.
“What if Casien really leaves you? You should try to do something. Maybe if you cling to him pitifully, he might marry you out of pity.”
“Yeah, he did say he wanted to postpone it again. As for trying… well, I don’t know.”
“What…, what?”
Briella looked stunned, as if she had been struck from behind.
“Anyway, I’ll be going now, Bri.”
A sharp voice called out from behind me.
“Hey! Are you crazy? Aren’t you going to stop? Hey! Roel! Hey!!”
No matter how much she yelled, I didn’t look back. Finally, she seemed to lose it, hurling curses and saying I wouldn’t come to my senses until I was forced into a marriage with some old man.
But I kept walking towards the annex, unfazed.
‘I’m planning to leave the empire long before that happens anyway.’
My steps were surprisingly light.
Perhaps due to the relief, I fell into a deep sleep for the first time in a long while. But suddenly, early in the morning, a group of maids burst into my small room!
The requested translation is provided below:
The maids brought me to the room in the main building before I could even open my eyes.
Their answer was always the same whenever I asked why.
“It’s the lady’s orders.”
‘Can’t the guests inform me a bit earlier…’
Usually, I stay in the annex.
Even there, I am tucked away in the most secluded, poorly-lit storage room. That place was the only space allowed to me by my mother, Feria.
But on days like today, when someone visits unexpectedly, I had to sit in the room prepared for show.
‘Wouldn’t it be better just to let me stay here…’
I complained to myself, but I knew the truth.
Feria would never let me live in comfort or happiness.
