I Am The Last Villainess He Has To Kill - Chapter 109
Chapter 109 – The Result Of One’s Own Illusions And Delusions
Why did Bella only come at times like this when she didn’t usually come? Kiehl tried to get Juan out, trying hard not to turn his gaze towards the window.
“Stop talking and leave. I won’t contact the Cruelle family.”
“You’re anxious, are you?”
He didn’t listen to a single word Juan said. It was because all he was paying attention to was where the cat was.
While Kiehl casually looked out the window, Bella wasn’t there anymore.
‘Where did she go?’
Bella wasn’t a real cat. Being a human, she could open a window by herself. When she looked at the window, she just thought that Kiehl was looking back at her. However, when she opened the window and went inside, she saw Juan Cruelle.
‘Ah, should I go out again?’
Still, unlike the outside, Kiehl’s room was cool, as if there was an air conditioner in this world.
‘I have to wait here.’
She politely closed the window and hid in the shadows.
Bella came with one purpose. She was going to refer to the report that Kiehl had put together about the magic explosion accident the other day.
‘I’ll have to hide somewhere until they’re done talking.’
The cat thought it would be funny to read the document on the desk, so it walked on all fours to the bed away from the desk.
“I really don’t understand. I heard you grew up like siblings, but how can love come?”
She stopped in her tracks as she unknowingly overheard the conversation between the two.
‘…What? That b*stard.’
Even though she didn’t know what he was talking about, she was sure it was about Kiehl and her.
“Even if you are not blood-related, would she consider the Crown Prince as a man who has been like her younger brother since childhood? What a dirty idea.”
To Bella, it felt as though she had been showered with water while walking down the street.
— “I guess I love you so much…”
What a dirty idea.
‘What does he mean, we were close like siblings? We’re not even siblings.’
Bella was wondering if she should run right now and set her nails on him.
“Are you referring to the Cruelle family’s idea of maintaining silver hair? You do a good job of speaking ill of the characteristics of your family.”
When she heard Kiehl’s bone-crunching words, she took her steps again.
‘I don’t think Rosanne was very wrong…’
Then, she climbed onto the bed and burrowed into the blanket.
‘Why is that guy interfering? Wouldn’t it be better if the Crown Princess came from his family?’
Bella couldn’t understand her at all. Under the blanket, she listened to the conversation with interest as if listening to the radio.
Kiehl thought that Bella knew there was Juan and would come later.
“Sir Juan. Give up, do well as a member of the Cruelle family.”
“I don’t want to.”
“Bella doesn’t see you as a man.”
“That’s something you don’t know.”
“I have already chosen Bella as the Crown Princess.”
“The Miss didn’t want it.”
Kiehl sincerely wanted to kill Juan. He would have drawn his sword right here had it not been for Shuria’s words, ‘Distinguish between public and private affairs.’
“You said I was obsessive.”
“Juan Cruelle…”
“If you really knew, Your Highness would feel guilty about me.”
Everything was all wrong, so he was at a loss as to where to begin.
“I know you’ve been looking for Bella, though haven’t you had countless women in your arms during that time?”
“Yes. They all had black hair.”
At his words, Kiehl looked at him and laughed. What kind of man was this?
“Even though I met so many people, I couldn’t forget her.”
“So, what are you going to do? Bella has already accepted being the Crown Princess.”
A deluded belief was dangerous.
Juan threatened Kiehl as if he thought his hand was great.
“I will reveal everything, that Your Highness forcibly gave a title to a commoner girl, and there is no other world called the Animal Kingdom.”
“Even when you see Pur…”
“I know the Miss’ identity.”
Bella listened to their conversation as she yawned and stretched herself under the covers.
‘That guy seems to like me.’
The fact that Juan didn’t like Rosanne now wasn’t too shocking, so she tried to leave it alone. As she listened, she felt the atmosphere grow strange.
‘Reveal. What is it?’
Bella’s hair stood up, and she pricked up her ears.
“She is a demon. The people next to the Miss were all demons.”
As soon as she heard Juan’s words, she thought this was unbearable. Bella jumped lightly under the covers on the bed and turned into a human.
“Excuse me.”
When the blankets were removed and she appeared, Juan’s eyes widened as if they would fall out. To her dismay, Kiehl was the same.
‘No… why is she coming out there?’
As she walked slowly towards the two of them, running her hand through her long hair, she tried to stay calm, although what Juan said crossed the line too much.
“Now, let’s weigh things one by one.”
She questioned Juan as if she had been investigating for the first time in a while.
“First of all, I don’t understand why you like me.”
Bella stood in front of Juan and crossed her arms.
“What are we… do we have any memories like that? Except for when I saw you at Daisy once?”
Juan was really embarrassed by this situation.
“It was… love at first sight.”
She didn’t expect him to confess like this.
“I don’t understand that either.”
He didn’t expect to be rejected like this.
“And even though you only met black hairs, you couldn’t forget me…. this is the first time I’ve ever heard such nonsense in my life.”
“That means I was trying to forget.”
“Then, you can try harder.”
Honestly, she didn’t know if anyone in the Empire could say ‘I like you’ in this atmosphere. Meanwhile, Juan bowed his head in desperation.
“I… have been looking for you for a long time.”
“Why? Did I ask you to look for me?”
“….”
“Why do you act selfishly and talk as if you should be rewarded?”
“That…”
Juan tried to say, ‘Your Highness does the same,’ but Bella cut him off.
“Anyway, it’s Juan’s heart, so I won’t interfere.”
The next moment, she strode towards Kiehl before putting her arms around his waist and glaring at Juan.
“Do you dare threaten our Kiehl?”
Upon seeing that, Juan only raised his lips. It seemed that Rosanne was wrong, and Myu was right. Bella’s eyes, glaring at Kiehl to protect him, resembled those of Shuria, who defended the maid of the Cruelle family a long time ago.
‘She seems to like Her Highness, too.’
And Kiehl, who was looking down at Bella vaguely.
“How dare you?”
Juan realized anew that there was no gap between the two of them.
“Whether I treat him like a family is up to me, isn’t it? You XXXX.”
The more Bella thought about it, the more ridiculous it seemed, and the more she spoke, the more her anger built up.
“What an #$%^&%!”
She cursed at Juan, her red eyes burning like fire. Bella had been cramped in the Imperial Palace, but once she let go of her reins, she couldn’t stop.
At the same time, Juan just gulped and looked at her.
The Bella in front of him was very different from the Bella he had imagined. During the summer festival, he glanced at her once. She always had that bright smile, even if she made a mistake while dancing with the villagers.
He just thought that she was cute, though the result of one’s own illusions and delusions was very miserable.
“Bella, I think it will be all right to stop now.”
Kiehl covered Bella’s mouth with his palm and breathed out.
“Now that he knows who I am, I must end his life.”
“Hmm… Bella. You can’t kill him.”
“Then, shall we send him to the demon realm?”
“Are you going to frame me?”
Well, he did come to the Crown Prince’s room and became a corpse or disappeared? Besides, Kiehl could tell by looking at Juan’s expression that he would back off on his own.
As soon as Juan confirmed that there were cliffs everywhere around him, he surrendered.
“This secret… I will keep it.”
“How can I believe that?”
At his words, Bella let go of herself from Kiehl’s arms and approached Juan. Her fingernails were getting longer.
“I should cut your tongue.”
At those words, Kiehl carefully took Bella’s wrist.
“I hope nothing bad happens in my room.”
With that, she removed her wrist and pointed it at Juan as a red magic circle shone between Juan and Bella.
“I will put a curse on you. The moment you say it out of your mouth, you will go to the Demon Realm.”
It was a lie.
There was no such magic, but there was no way Juan knew.
After sending Juan out, Rio tried to come in but Kiehl shook his head. He didn’t want his time alone with Bella to be interrupted.
“Anyway, this is stupid. Would being a demon be a threat to me?”
He sat to her left, who was sitting with her arms crossed.
“If it were me, I would have absolutely kept it a secret until you exposed it.”
He carefully slipped one arm behind her right shoulder.
“You are too nice, not to send him or something like that. You should have cut his tongue first.”
Although he had hated Juan so much before, he was grateful for him now. As if to ignite a little anxiety, Juan threatened him, too.
“And if he’s going to threaten you, he should do it to me.”
Bella, as always, stayed by his side.
Kiehl placed his hand cautiously on her shoulder.
“I pretended not to know that he was following me.”
Then, as he took her hand and pulled her towards him, slowly Bella came into his arms.
“He acted so recklessly very easily.”
“Me, too.”
“Huh? You?”
Bella turned her head slightly to look at Kiehl.
‘Huh… when did he come this close?’
Since when did he hold her shoulder? And now, he turned her around a bit and put his other hand on the sofa beside her right thigh.
Bella gazed up at him with a slightly reddened face.
‘Ri, yes… He’s also being reckless.’
With his eyes half-closed, he came closer. While approaching, time passed slowly, and Bella closed her eyes as his lips kissed her upper lip. At her permission, he now put her lower lip between his and sipped it gently.
It was dreamlike.
The time he had been waiting for, he hoped it would last forever in the future.
Their lips parted slightly, but his face was still right in front of Bella’s.
“…Are you avoiding me now?”
Bella answered, looking only at his lips instead of his eyes.
“Yes.”
Then, Kiehl asked in a sweet voice like a song.
“Bella, can you sleep here tonight?”
