Certainly, here is the translated passage:
Even though the situation was critical, there was a sense of relief at the intervention of Philip and the knights.
“Subdue them all!”
Six knights who loudly echoed Philip’s command rushed towards the armed thugs. The welltrained knights quickly overpowered them.
The swift resolution was also thanks to Mile and me, who had trampled the thugs a little.
While the knights were tying up the seventeen thugs like dried fish, Philip swiftly dismounted from his horse. The attractive cape on his shoulders swayed to match his movements.
Philip, who stepped up to me, looked down as if he could see right through me.
Now it seemed like he was going to question me with an entirely rational voice. I only swallowed my saliva quietly and waited for him to speak. Soon, his firmly closed lips parted.
“Are you alright, ma’am?”
“……”
His tone was surprisingly caring, to the point where I couldn’t believe he had been cold to me before. I felt a strange feeling as my face seemed to heat up a little.
Didn’t Philip extremely hate Ellen?
“Um… Well…”
I stammered in reply. Thinking about it, Philip and Ellen had been a married couple for over ten years. It occurred to me that their relationship might not be as bad as I thought.
‘Maybe this is just a side story that could improve quickly if Ellen changed a bit, and I’m overthinking it?’
Then one of the knights ruthlessly pulled out a fan stuck in a thug’s buttocks.
“Arghhhhhhh!”
Even after the fan was removed, the thug’s agonizing screams echoed in the alley.
It was brutal when it went in, but it was also hellish when it was pulled out.
‘Even I, a villainess, wouldn’t do something so cruel……’
The knight showed the fan to Philip, holding one ear with one hand.
Philip, who was looking at the fan, turned his eyes to me.
‘Isn’t the answer obvious?’
I momentarily turned away from his gaze, dusting the hem of my dress. Then Philip instructed the knight.
“Keep it as evidence.”
Soon, the city guards rushed in.
The thugs, tied up in a line like dried fish, were dragged away by the city guards.
The thug who was tied at the very end wailed as he was dragged away, leaving a trail of blood. It seemed his condition was quite serious.
I felt a little sorry for him but lifted my head without showing any emotion.
After all, this is a novel, and I’m a villainess, so that much is okay, right?
Above all, it was selfdefense.
“Lady Mild, are you hurt anywhere?”
The man who had fought wholeheartedly until the reinforcements arrived was drenched in sweat.
He smiled, catching his breath in response to my concern.
“No, I’m fine. Are you alright, my lady?”
I checked my wrists and ankles.
It would probably be sore for a few days, but I thought it would gradually get better.
“I’ll survive. This much is fine.”
I turned around, massaging my wrist.
That’s when I saw Domingo handing folded documents to Philip.
“Huh?”
I was bewildered.
‘Wasn’t Domingo holding Camellia oil?’
Philip, who had received the documents, patted Domingo’s shoulder.
“Good work.”
“It’s fortunate that I could deliver it safely thanks to the lady.”
Domingo, who staggered to his feet, bowed to me respectfully.
“Thank you for saving this old man, my lady.”
His gratitude was full of sincerity. At the same time, Philip’s attention was focused on me.
“……”
When Philip stared at me, an indescribable feeling swept over me. Was it admiration, perhaps because I had saved Domingo, and his evaluation of me had changed?
His gaze was both a bit flattering and embarrassing. I pointed to the scattered items in the alley.
“By the way, don’t you have to pick up all those things?”
“Oh my, where’s my mind? Thank you.”
Domingo began to pick up the scattered items in the alley.
“Phew, these requested items have become all dirty now……”
Among the items he picked up, there was a bottle containing yellow oil.
“Domingo?”
Certainly, I will translate the passage as per your guidelines:
“Yes?”
“Is it the camellia oil by any chance?”
“Yes, it is. Fortunately, it didn’t break.”
“……”
What is this? It’s different from the original?
No, it’s the same but somehow different?
‘Is it because it’s a supporting character’s affair and didn’t come out in detail? The main purpose is not the camellia oil, but that document just now?’
I fumbled with my mouth and looked at Count Philip Morris.
“I disguised it as ordinary shopping, but it seems the information has leaked.”
Count Philip Morris crossed his arms.
“Do you know anything about this document, madam?”
“……Yes?”
It was a question that what he was talking about, but Philip just slowly stroked his chin.
His eyes, which had admired earlier, now had doubt in them.
“Why are you looking at me like that? What’s with that document?”
Then, with a sudden thought that crossed my mind, I became angry.
‘Ah ha? Is it the time for an investigation now?’
Well then, I felt my shoulders, which had been tensed, droop.
