I Am The Last Villainess He Has To Kill - Chapter 91

Even after dancing with Rio, quite a few men asked Bella to dance.

‘Driving me crazy.’

Every time she danced, she was so nervous since she didn’t even know whom she was dancing with. Eventually, Bella quietly went to a corner and made her way to the couch. Even on the way, she was invited to dance, but she had no choice but to politely decline.

‘My feet hurt…’

While her magical power gradually returned, recovery was still not. Her ankles, which she sprained when she jumped out of the window to pick flowers in Cruelle, sometimes tingled. Her feet seemed to swell, probably from the shoes she hadn’t worn in a long time.

She plopped down and wanted to sit down on the sofa and get some rest.

“Lady Bella. What happened?”

“Lady Bella, could it be that His Highness was interested in you?”

Before she knew it, the ladies surrounded Bella. With angry faces, they seemed to ask her to explain why Kiehl asked her Bella to dance in the first place.

‘How would I know?’

After all, it’s because of you who talk nonstop.

At that time, the lady, who was carrying the ball, refuted.

“She is also from another world, so His Highness might be interested.”

“Lady Bella said she didn’t want to be the Crown Princess.”

…Although Bella never said anything like that.

She had put up with it all this time because Shuria sent her a letter saying, ‘Better roast and boil those kids. If it’s really hard for you, just don’t say anything,’ she advised.

“How could Lady Bella refuse the Crown Prince?”

“At this point, Lady Bella has become a more likely candidate.”

“Was she aiming for it?”

Bella just covered her ears. She didn’t even know what they were saying, and no matter what she said, things would get messed up.

‘Ah… I feel tired.’

As she listened to the ladies as if they were background music, she slowly surveyed the atmosphere in the ballroom. Every time she saw Kiehl, he was dancing with other ladies. Obviously, the main character of this ball should be Rosanne… but now, she has become nobody.

Rather, that only bothered Bella more.

Frustrated, she wanted to cut off that tongue every time the young ladies kept calling her ‘Lady Bella’.

“Kiehl…”

Bella muttered quietly, soothing her sensitive self.

“I will get my revenge tonight.”

As she imagined the ultimate revenge, Bella fantasized and that made her a little better.

‘Should I print the soles of the cat’s paws on the document?’

Then, he had to sort it out again, which was so cruel.

‘Should I blow all my fur off his clothes?’

She didn’t think this method would hurt too much.

As she sharpened her vengeance blade, Bella met his eyes. Normally, she would have smiled at him as soon as she saw him. But Kiehl, who was seen among the chattering young ladies, looked annoying for some reason.

‘Hm. I’ll bother him later.’

Sometimes Pur would lift his foot up on Kiehl, and he would grunt. As a cat, she would have to sit heavily on top of Kiehl when he slept, making him have a nightmare.

Soon, she watched as Kiehl gradually headed somewhere.

When she noticed where his toes were headed, there was a cute girl with pale pink hair.

‘Ah… is that Rosanne?’

The power of the novel to flow as the original storyline was great. When the female lead appeared, Bella noticed that the ladies, who were talking noisily in front of her, all stared at Rosanne.

“Who else is that?”

“It’s the first time I see her face. Is His Highness requesting a dance?”

When Kiehl danced with the daughters of other Dukes or Marquises, no one would bet on it.

“If that girl, isn’t she from County Psilia? The lady who left the house.”

“Where is Count Psilia’s family attached to?”

Bella was listening to what Shuria needed to hear in her novel.

“Miss Bella. Will you stay like this?”

Stays like this, what ddid they mean?

‘Anyway, it was all going according to the novel.’

It was fortunate that she was not visible because of the girls’ dresses. Bella just lowered her head and closed her eyes.

‘…I feel tired.’

* * *

The music announcing the end of the ball came, and people left the ballroom one by one.

“When is Lady Bella going?”

Bella opened her eyes at a lady’s words.

‘Wow… Did I sleep here?’

However, she pretended not to be asleep. While it was awkward, she spread out her fan and covered her mouth.

“Go, go ahead.”

“Then… we’ll first.”

Please don’t let her sleep while drooling. As soon as the ladies turned around, Bella wiped her mouth and rubbed her eyes.

‘No, it’s because the music is so boring, like a lullaby…’

Bella eventually stood up, but she staggered a little, probably not yet awake. As she came to her senses and glanced around the ballroom, there were not a few people left.

‘As expected, there is neither Kiehl nor Rosanne.’

In the novel, after dancing, they secretly meet each other and express their longing.

‘I’ll have to take revenge next time.’

She slowly made her way out of the empty ballroom.

Tip, tap.

The sound of shoes echoed all over the loud hallway.

When she took a few steps, through the window, Bella could see that the leads of this novel were in the garden.

‘….’

Like the novel illustration, the two main characters were sitting with their backs to her. That platinum hair that always shone and the lovely light pink were mixed in a color that suited even on the moonlit night.

The moonlight was shining as if it existed only for the two of them. Kiehl bent down, and Rosanne bowed her head beneath him.

‘Ah. That scene.’

Bella smiled and turned her steps. Fortunately, it seemed to be progressing as well as the novel.

‘Yes… I’m satisfied with this.’

Whenever she missed Kiehl in the demon realm, she read the novel. Line by line of the novel that was stuck in her brain enough to get tired of memorizing it.

[ As Kiehl lowered his head, Rosanne kissed him in silence. ]

Every step she took, the words come to mind.

[ Her lips parted, then Kiehl said softly. “I love you.” ]

If she knew she would be watching it from the side like this, she wouldn’t have looked so intently.

* * *

At that time, Rosanne, who was sitting next to Kiehl, kept gazing at him and asked quietly.

“Hey, Kiehl. Then, can we meet here every day at this time?”

“I’ll let you know through Rio or Rinne. You just have to come out at this time.”

“Yes.”

“If you don’t see the two of them, I’ll hang a yellow handkerchief in your room. Think of it as a sign.”

“Yes!”

When Kiehl saw Rosanne reply brightly, he let out a sigh inside. He glanced up at the moon in the night sky and remembered the moon in the Demon World.

With her back to the moon that occupied half the sky, with her black wings outstretched, Bella was strikingly beautiful. At that moment, he was afraid, for some reason, that she might run away without him being able to catch her with her wings.

“Never get caught.”

He tried to warn Rosanne once again.

“Ugh.”

His heart suddenly hurt too much. It was so hard for him to breathe.

As if there had been a hole in his chest, a cold, cold wind pierced his body and roamed around every corner.

“What’s the matter? Are you okay?”

As he lowered his head and barely let out a breath, Rosanne peeped her head to look up at him from below.

“…Haa.”

Kiehl took his breath for a while and stood up with her help.

“Anyway, do your best not to be noticed. Rio will take you there.”

At those words, Rio, who had been leaning against the bushes, stood up.

“Should I… should I take her? Are you okay? What’s wrong with you all of a sudden?”

Kiehl reached out to Rio as he approached and shook his head. While having Bella’s heart, he could feel her feelings together. Bella wanted it to go by that note, and he didn’t do the first dance with Rosanne.

‘It’s because I’m weak.’

So, the pain so cold that his hands trembled couldn’t be Bella’s feelings.

‘It’s because she’s anxious, nervous.’

It must be her unconscious feelings.

He was afraid he’d miss the prey that he had worked hard on.

The demons didn’t know what was going on, but they followed Bella and did not slow down their tension.

In particular, Iwer was more nervous.

The core of the group that made Bella the master of romance was Iwer. As a sign of self-reflection, she told Bella about the dress code in advance. By this point, she’d be reprimanded by Bella, but she was more afraid of not saying anything.

“The Young Master told me to find out. It’s unfair.”

“I don’t think anything special happened at the banquet.”

“Pur is playing the ‘keep quiet’ game!”

Bella’s atmosphere was unusual, to the point that even Pur, who used to intervene without notice, shut up.

She was not just angry… she was furious.

As they were pushing each other, stabbing each other to talk first, Bella stopped at the entrance to her room and was dumbfounded at the unexpected figure.

“Gasp! Lady Bella!”

“…Mary?”

In the swordsmanship classroom she ran while in the mansion before, only Mary took swordsmanship seriously. With the swordsmanship class gone because Zanbar and Jenkins messed up the play, Bella later introduced Mary to the mercenaries.

“Oh my gosh! I never thought I would see Lady Bella here!”

Mary recognized her at once. Dark black hair and bright red eyes, and when she saw Jenkins and Iwer behind her, she couldn’t help but notice it was indeed Bella.

“How are you…”

Mary put her hands together, and her eyes twinkled.

“I was hired as an escort because of the Crown Princess contest.”

The mansion family didn’t hate Mary either, so she was a little glad.

“Wow. It’s been a long time.”

“I know.”

Thinking about it, quite a few years have passed.

“How come those two haven’t changed at all? It feels like the years are just passing by.”

At her words, Jenkins and Ewer looked away. Jenkins was even more nervous because he was always in trouble because of his youthful appearance while in the human world. He didn’t want to meet if possible.

“Still, it’s good that you seem happy, Lady.”

“I know.”

Thanks to Mary, Bella’s mood became much softer.

That was understandable.

“A mercenary leader?”

Even strong mountains would change in ten years. However, who would have thought that Mary, who said she wanted to leave home, would grow up like this and lead a mercenary group.

“Since I live alone, I worked hard, but it became like this before I knew it.”

“Good job, good job.”

Mary smiled shyly and talked about her current situation for a while.

“Lady Bella is the rumored adopted daughter of the Cruelle family. It’s so amazing.”

“What are the rumors about?”

“I just knew that someone from another world had entered the Cruel family as an adopted daughter.”

As the story seemed to be getting longer, Bella wanted to ask Mary’s employer for an excuse.

“Then, who do you come here to escort?”

“Oh. She’s here just in time.”

She was about to ask if she could spend some time with Mary. As soon as Bella turned her head, she ran into Rosanne, who was coming with Rio.

She was the female lead in the novel.

…Kiehl’s lover.

Bella didn’t want to meet her.
