The Villain’s Sister Suffers Today

Side Story 10



“What?”

Where is he saying? I saw the knight in baffling.

A naturally absurd voice came out of my mouth.

“I'm sorry, but I don't have anyone to meet today.”

“Well, the guest said she didn't have a prior appointment but….”

The knight hesitated. It was a typical attitude that a guilty person would see.

I narrowed my eyes just in case.

“Did you let her in?”

“That….”

“As the knight, you should have stopped her. Didn't you?”

“I'm sorry! But how can I see a Lady standing in the rain? So…….”

‘Lady?’

I opened my eyes wide while listening to the knight talk like an excuse.

No way.

No, right? I don't think so. No, I hope not.

“I'll ask you later through Ash for your responsibility.”

My words whitened the knight's complexion at once. That was like a death sentence.

Of course, I really didn't mean to do that. I didn't want to reduce the power of the house with this kind of work.

It's just that I told him to be scared.

And as expected, the effect was excellent.

I left behind a knight as white as a sheet.

‘He said she was in the parlour room.'

Soon after, my steps slowed down and stopped at all.

My palms were sweaty.

“‘Is it really Alice?'

In fact, it’s maybe not Alice. Some other person might be in this parlour room.

I can go to the parlour room as I normally do, look at the person there, and ask her to leave, sorry.

It would be better if I added that she should never come again.

It was easy. It's really nothing.

“…….”

But my foot didn't fall off.

I agonized for a long time in my seat like a sitting mat. Eventually, I turned around.

“Alex.”

Alex just caught my eye. I said to Alex who was coming towards me.

“If you're not busy, go to the parlour room now….”

At that moment, the voice of the Countess came to my mind.

‘No matter what the Duchess thinks……the curse of reason.’

“The parlour room?”

“……oh, no. No, it's okay. Just keep at what you're doing.”

“Madam?”

I walked busily past Alex.

Alex couldn’t do it. First of all, no men could do it.

Come to think of it, it seems that the knight who opened the house was not that careless.

I'm not blind to the words of the Countess, but this is just in case.

“May!”

In time, a reliable maid caught my eye.

She was the tallest maid in this mansion. Of course, she was strong.

“I have a favour to ask, can you go to the parlour room and ask someone out of here?”

“What? Me?”

“Yeah. If she doesn't want to go out, you can force her out. And….”

I urged the maid not to enter the parlour room with the servant or knight, although she was fine with her own.

May tilted her head but replied that she would do it.

I sighed as I watched the solid figure disappear into the parlour room.

‘Just in case, I won't let anyone near to the parlour room.'

The same is true of the way leading from the parlour to the entrance of the mansion.

I called the butler and finished thorough traffic control and came back to my old room.

I came here because I needed a place to relax.

If Ash had been there, I would have gone to Ash, but unfortunately, Ash was out of the house now.

The room was managed as neatly as I often looked for. I sat on any chair as soon as I came to the room.

When I opened my hand, my palms were wet with sweat that had not cooled down yet.

When I saw it, I murmured as if I couldn't understand it myself.

“What the hell is Alice..….”

What the hell is she doing, because I couldn't even face her face directly?

I didn't understand, but it's been a long time since I gave up on understanding anyway.

I stretched myself comfortably on the chair. Oh, should I just drink tea here instead of the living room?

“Madam.”

By the time ‘shall I drink' was inclined to ‘let’s drink', someone made a move outside the door.

It was May's voice.

“Eh, I did what you said. In the parlour room….”

Really? It's faster than I thought. Alice must have left without a hitch.

Or maybe it wasn't Alice. Well, either one was good.

‘But why is her voice shaking so much?'

Did something happen in the parlour room?

I twisted the doorknob wondering.

At that moment, I got chills.

‘……….cold?'

Is it cold? No, it's not. No matter how much it's raining now.

When I thought so, the unenergized door slowly and completely opened.

Then I hardened my expression.

“……Alice.”

Alice Danekier was standing in front of it like a doll.

What is this? I was so surprised that people didn't even react surprised.

I found May standing next to Alice belatedly after being hardened as if she had just stopped breathing.

“Sorry, huh, I'm sorry.”

The knight was pointing a sword at May's neck earlier.

“Oh, my God, crazy……!”

As soon as I figured out the situation, I got a curse word. And the next moment, my body rolled back terribly regardless of my will.

Bang!

The door is closed.

I stared at the closed door with incredible eyes. The body that suddenly rolled on the floor was throbbing, but that was not important.

“……Magic?”

She didn't even touch a fingertip, but I rolled on my own as if I were attracted by intangible forces. It was the same that the door was just closed.

Alice came into the room and stared at me silently without answering.

I was horrified by the desolate gaze.

Pale skin. She was wearing a white dress, as she did in the last tea time, and the black-coloured hair, which contrasted with the pure white colour, was just a little wet and settled neatly.

My heartbeat like a log.

Alice was doing that for a long time and then opened her mouth.

“What was the problem?”

“…….what?”

I replied reflexively. Her body crept back and spread the distance between Alice and me.

Alice repeated her words without moving on the spot whether I did it or not.

“What was the problem? Answer me.”

“What do you mean?”

I've been stepping back, and the terrace is in my back.

The curtains touched my back. I stopped then.

Alice was constantly staring at me.

Oh, my God. What the hell is going on? Alice's red lips moved while her dry saliva fell.

“You were fine when you were at tea time. Didn't you feel guilty about misunderstanding me? I had a maid who looked like your favourite maid, so you felt friendly. Isn't that right?”

“What?”

“You know, when I held that little thing in my arms, whether her name was Fren something, it was a face full of emotion, you felt touched. Am I wrong?”

“Now……..”

I was speechless because I was embarrassed. I also saw that Alice penetrated everything inside me at that time, but most of all, what was shocking was the meaning of her words.

All that Alice showed me that day was a plan, and all that was acting?

No, just by looking at her, I know it was acting, but…….

‘Why would she do that?’

I'm curious, but there's something more important than that now. I turned around and pushed hard at the door of the terrace while looking at Alice.

‘……I can't open it.'

“Don't relax. Answer me more than that. What's really wrong with you that you're suddenly avoiding me? What?”

“Now, you're not doing this to me just because I'm avoiding you, are you?”

Are you venting your anger just because you're upset? You're not, is it?

I looked around and said what could break the glass. Alice replied.

“What's wrong with you? Well, there's no great reason. It's just that you came into my eyes.”

Listening to Alice's unrecognizable nonsense, I raised my leg of the chair and threw the chair hard at the terrace door.

Kwang!

“…….!”

When it bumped into some bulletproof glass, there was a sound that seemed to fly. Crazy. What's that?

“Don't lose your strength.”

“Alex! Bessie! Sir Davery!”

I ignored Alice's words and screamed this time.

However, there was no effect. It was quiet outside. Alice shrugged her shoulders.

I screamed a few more times and gasped for breath.

“It's no use. Would I have locked the door stupidly? I won't let the sound of bugs leak out, so stop it.”

Really? I see. Okay.

‘It's okay.'

I pressed down on my despair to soaring. I looked everywhere, catching my breath.

‘Candlestick.’

Suddenly, a gold candlestick on the right side of Alice caught my eye.

My head went round fast.

‘…….Can I do it?'

I don't know, but I had to try.

I couldn't wait for Alice to do anything to me like this.

‘Ash.'

I suddenly missed Ash. The tip of my nose was moving and I was about to cry.

I held back by chewing the tender flesh in my mouth. Contrary to my mind, now was the time to pretend to be calm.

I took a deep breath and walked slowly. To be honest, just looking at Alice gave me goosebumps, but I tried to pretend that I was okay.

I just saw myself getting closer to Alice.

I sighed as if I were looking at Alice and opened my mouth.

“Okay, I'll stop, I don't think I can get out.”

“Are you giving up now? You’re more innocent than I thought.”

“Well, it's wise.”

I took a little step by step by step. As the distance from Alice decreases, my heart beats faster.

I wiped the sweat off my palms with my clothes, pretending to put my hand on my waist.

“What do you think? Can you say it's wise?”

“Huh. Well, good. I'll tell you that you’re wise.”

“Thank you. Then I'll answer your question in return. Did you ask this before right? What was the problem?”

I bit my tongue a few more times because I thought my voice would shake.

I opened my mouth ten times, imagined getting out of there safely and meeting Ash.

“It was all just a problem. Everything.”

“What?”

“You're terrible at acting. I had a hard time pretending to be deceived.”
