The Villainess Intends to Have It All - Chapter 83

Headton, who had vented his anger on Coni, was surprised to see a beautiful woman standing in front of his room door.

Sweet-looking curly pink hair, a deer-like snow-white nape, and a waist so thin it looked like it might break.

Headton licked his lips at the sight of the stunningly beautiful woman.

“Who?”

Headton licked his lips as he looked at the beautiful woman, Rose.

Rose sneered at Headton’s infinitely light and dirty-looking behavior and said.

“I am Rose Asila. Are you the second prince of the Trumto Kingdom?”

“Wow, did the women of the Empire drink some expensive water? How can you be so expensive and haughty?”

As Headton spoke condescendingly, annoyed by Rose’s haughty behavior, Rose looked him up and down.

Just as Headton, offended by this, took a step toward Rose to intimidate her, the door suddenly flung open.

The aide who had followed Headton from inside the room discovered Rose standing in front of the door and bowed his head with an enraptured expression.

“It is an honor to meet you. First, as there may be others in the corridor, please come in.”

Thanks to this, Rose entered the room, sneering at Headton who had awkwardly stopped.

As an angry Headton entered, feeling like lashing out at the aide and Rose, the aide immediately closed the door and grabbed Headton’s hand.

“Second Prince, quickly pay your respects. This is Queen Rose of the Risky family, descendant of fairies.”

“What nonsense……!”

The aide, not content with just grabbing Headton’s hand, pressed the back of his head firmly, making him bow to Rose.

“Wh-what is this now!”

Headton was furious and dumbfounded that the aide, who had been acting subserviently on the way to the Asilaum Empire, suddenly grabbed his head.

“Has this bastard gone mad!”

“Is that person really a prince? Why is he acting like that even after hearing about the Risky family?”

“My apologies, Your Majesty. The knight families of Tula, Trumto, and Smale learn about the Queen only after ascending to the throne.”

Rose seemed to feel a little better about Headton’s behavior at the aide’s polite answer.

“How do you know about me?”

Rose asked the aide, standing in front of Headton who was bowing deeply due to the aide’s actions.

“The King of Trumto, knowing that Your Majesty was in the Empire, sent me after I passed the test. Please forgive the Second Prince’s rudeness.”

Headton was dumbfounded and incredulous as the aide pressed down on his head.

The aide showed perfect honorifics that he wouldn’t even use for the Emperor of the Asilaum Empire, and this woman he had never seen or heard of took it for granted.

He thought they were putting on some kind of act in front of him.

“Have these bastards gone mad together!”

At Headton’s squawking voice, Rose said irritably to the aide.

“My eardrums are about to burst. Let him raise his head.”

The aide grabbed the back of Headton’s head, clutched his hair, and yanked his head up so that Headton was looking at Rose.

“What the hell are you doing!”

Headton was angry at the violent behavior he had never experienced before.

He was scared that the aide, who had been trembling until they arrived at the Asilaum Empire, was now handling him like a doll with unmanageable strength, but his anger overcame his fear.

“Hey!”

“Ah, so noisy. Is there any need to forcibly include someone who doesn’t even rank in the conversation?”

“There isn’t. As you wish.”

“What is this now…… Ugh!”

The aide mercilessly struck the back of Headton’s neck as he tried to shout.

Seeing Headton faint at once, the aide threw him into a corner.

Then he knelt before Rose and stretched out both hands.

Satisfied with his perfectly submissive behavior, Rose placed her hand on his, and the aide acted as if he was receiving a god.

He carefully kissed Rose’s fingertips, then bowed his head and kissed her shoe.

“I have been waiting, Your Majesty.”

Rose felt like she was going to go crazy with excitement at his actions.

Her worry about how to approach the alliance of small kingdoms, knowing they existed for her sake, had been unnecessary.

They already knew about her and had been waiting.

“If you have something to say, say it.”

“I will report the situation. The Tula Kingdom has been forged to be used as your sword at any time, and the Trumto Kingdom is standing by to move on your behalf at any moment.”

“What about the Smale Kingdom?”

“The King of Smale lacks qualifications and may fall from the knight family.”

“Those who become obsolete should be discarded, right.”

Then the aide hurriedly handed something to Rose.

Rose received a bracelet with the same decoration as her necklace.

It was a bracelet with a dark red rose gem surrounded by pitch-black leaves.

“It’s a relic that can give orders to the knight families at any time.”

“Do I need to use a magic stone?”

“If Your Majesty awakens the relic with fairy blood, you won’t need a magic stone.”

Rose’s eyes sparkled as she put the relic-like bracelet on her arm.

“Hmm.”

Rose quite liked the bracelet that matched the necklace around her neck.

“I like it.”

She pressed her fingertip hard against the sharp leaf decoration on the bracelet to draw blood, then rubbed the gem.

Then the dark red gem sparkled.

Rose brought the bracelet to her lips and whispered.

“Provoke the Empire. Shake them up for my lover, make them turn their eyes away. So that I can deal with that woman.”

Then two voices were heard from the bracelet.

Looking down at the aide who still maintained his submissive posture, Rose quietly whispered to him.

“Prepare a perfect poison that I can gift to that woman. A perfect poison that can take her down in one breath.”

“As the Queen wishes.”

Rose’s lips stretched into a long smile at the perfectly satisfying answer.

The delegations stayed for several days, negotiating with the Asilaum Empire’s Emperor about the distribution of magic stones, laughing and crying at times.

Among them, the delegation that was most pleased was none other than the Smale Kingdom.

At the request of Erina and Herigel, Enzo reluctantly called for the Crown Prince of Smale and the Crown Princess, Herigel’s daughter.

Enzo told the two that after the Crown Prince ascended to the throne, they would discuss the distribution of magic stones again.

At Enzo’s words, the two who had been anxious, along with the nobles, let out cheers.

It seemed that the dethronement of the King of Smale would be hastened a bit more.

Enzo also sent warnings to the Trumto Kingdom and Tula Kingdom, which still hadn’t stopped their secret exports.

In response, Trumto made a show of leaving the Empire grumbling, but having achieved their goal of meeting the fairy descendant, they returned in good spirits.

Seeing the stark contrast in treatment between Smale and Trumto and Tula, several kingdoms began to turn their backs on the two kingdoms.

The continent was moving, quietly but noticeably.

Several days after the delegations had come and gone, Sandes Dvil Kerenik brought good news.

It was the news that Revil’s adoption had been finalized.

When they entered the palace as part of the delegation, everything had been discussed in advance, so it proceeded without any issues.

Of course, except for when Enzo playfully mentioned the marriage of Sandes and Erina again, making them flustered, everything went smoothly.

Erina invited them to the Medelia mansion to celebrate Revil reclaiming his name Leorbil and taking on the Kerenik surname.

Sandes gladly informed that he would make time to visit the Medelia mansion with Revil.

Erina prepared a luncheon party and waited for the two.

Excited that everyone she wanted to see was coming to the mansion, Erina couldn’t contain herself and went out to the front of the mansion to greet them.

Heila Bentel and Barun smiled along with Erina, who looked excited, as they headed towards the mansion’s main gate.

Not long after, a carriage approached the mansion.

As the carriage arrived and the door opened, Erina’s excited face turned cold.

It wasn’t those she had been waiting for, but those she never wanted to see again.

“Erina!”

“Hey, Erina!”

Those who got out of the carriage were Romdrik, Camille, and Viana.

Erina felt her heart turning to stone, having expected a joyful time.

She kept feeling like Enzo’s words were replaying in her head.

‘The former Count Iolls fanned the flames of Romdrik’s hidden desires, making him covet the Medelia Viscounty and helping him stage the carriage accident.’

How could they have committed such a cruel act and still appear before her, thinking to take everything away?

It felt as if her heart, which had been turning to stone, was catching fire.

“What brings you here, Baron Zilon? Shouldn’t you be returning to your barony?”

“You, you!”

“‘You’? Baron?”

Romdrik flinched in surprise at Erina’s coldly shining eyes.

The emotion in her eyes was clearly different from before.

It wasn’t just anger at having been robbed, but a darker, more intense anger than before.

While Romdrik was surprised, Camille pushed forward and confronted Erina.

“Erina! How could you do this to us? Huh?”

As Camille approached with large strides, Barun intervened to stop them.

“Mind your manners.”

Barun, with his large frame, stood in front of them and looked down as he spoke.

Surprised by Barun’s cold expression, they hesitated and stopped, unable to approach Erina, and just screeched.

“You, you! We left quietly, and you take away even our meager livelihood!”

As Camille shouted angrily, Heila Bentel once again delivered a sharp rebuke.

“Request a meeting properly and with manners. Let’s go.”

As Heila Bentel stood next to Barun and spoke, Romdrik jumped up and down, shouting at Erina who stood behind them.
