Certainly, this is quite a lengthy passage. Below is the translated text in line with the guidelines you have provided:
It was really out of the blue.
“I asked for more escorts, so why has Philip followed me personally?” I said.
Philip spoke confidently.
“You need escorts because of the bandits on the outskirts of the estate, don’t you?”
The two men Philip had brought were knights disguised as travelers.
Soon, a maid placed a large picnic basket inside the carriage.
I had already packed the food for Mild, the Duke and me, so that was Philip and the knights’ meal.
Philip said he would come with us and wipe out any bandits we encountered.
He suggested a very safe and friendly route, but I started with a snort.
“Do you expect me to believe that?”
My actions to escape the death flag reduced conflicts, but he was the one who listed a house with poor security in Ellen’s residence list in the original work.
Of course, there is a possibility that he has judged that I have stopped behaving like a villainess.
“But does that justify him spending the whole day protecting me? It doesn’t make sense.”
If he is willing to do that much, he must have special feelings for me for things to add up.
Special feelings.
Love.
An impossible conclusion, so I expected Philip to have some trick up his sleeve.
If he’s coming along, there must be another reason.
“Um, he’s been hovering around since yesterday, showing interest in my candle business…”
Isn’t he trying to figure out what I’m doing by going out on a candle business errand?
Philip can naturally enter the business even if he follows as an escort.
Being Ellen’s husband and the owner of the estate.
If Philip visits, wouldn’t the candle manufacturer probably welcome him with open arms?
Moreover, Philip will guess the nature of the business even if he overhears a few words between me and the vendor.
Especially if he sees the sample I made.
“That can’t happen.”
Having come to that conclusion, I first shooed the two knights away.
It was just me, Philip, and Duke Mild left.
I deliberately chilled my voice.
“You don’t need to do that much. Just the knights will accompany us.”
“…What?”
Philip seemed to doubt his ears. He hadn’t anticipated my refusal at all.
“Are you that curious about my business?”
The direct question rose to my throat, but I suppressed it and beat around the bush.
“You’re busy, aren’t you? The place to go today is far.”
“I’ve cleared my schedule for that.”
“Why?”
“…What?”
“Why. Why are you going personally?”
“Well, that’s…”
Uncertainty and hesitation were visible in Philip’s eyes. Apparently, Philip couldn’t lie, not being a villain.
I firmly crossed my arms.
“What are you hesitating for? You can be honest.”
“Honest?”
I gave an unlikely reason as an example to his counterquestion.
“Like saying you love me?”
“Oh.”
Philip’s face turned red for a moment. He hastily covered his gaping mouth with his hand.
Seeing a somewhat ethereallooking Philip, I began to wonder. My heart also beat a little faster.
‘Could it be… really?’
Why would he love Ellen, the villainess?
Was he attracted to me after I possessed her?
Thinking that made Philip look even cooler.
‘If such a handsome man confesses his love?’
In fact, Philip’s future was bright, and he would be the best spouse.
If I don’t die, a path of roses might open.
‘Starting from today, should I consider this Day 1 of a budding relationship and gradually improve it? That might be a good idea.’
As I was about to slightly change the purpose of my life, Duke Mild made a small, artificial cough.
With that sound, the blush vanished from Philip’s face, and he also gave a small cough.
“Hmm! The divorce is not finalized yet, is it? So…”
Philip’s eyes turned to the ground. After a moment lost in thought, he shook his head as if to shake something off and slightly bit his lip.
“Please don’t misunderstand. It’s troublesome if the Countess is in danger.”
‘Ah, Countess.’
Somewhere in his hesitating tone, I sobered up.
At the same time, I clearly remembered Philip and Ellen’s relationship in the original work.
After the divorce, there was a new spouse who would be harmful to him for the rest of his life.
“Arthur, it’s a complete pipe dream.”
I had the wrong idea. I thought I knew what he was thinking.
“If it were after the divorce, I wouldn’t know, but if I were to die before the divorce, would I save face?”
Besides, business greed naturally came, two birds with one stone?
I’ll have to make it impossible for Philip to even dare to follow.
“I requested an escort, so just bring two knights.”
“It’s dangerous if you only go with two knights.”
“That’s enough, you rest at home. If you have nothing to do, walk the dog or something.”
Philip looked glum at the firm tone.
“Understood. If that’s the case, take only two knights.”
With that, he left Philip behind and got into the carriage.
[This is the time separator]“Heh…”
Left alone, Philip watched the departing carriage with a bewildered feeling.
When the male lead is punished by carrying the female lead’s child and having periods like a woman
“I’ve given birth to two children for you, yet you still think about him.
Was I nothing but his substitute to you from beginning to end?”
