If You Put a Leash on Villain - Chapter 4

Not wanting to face this lunatic anymore, Eclette tried to return to Anatolia.

However, Redwood insisted on buying her a cake, so she was taken back to the dessert shop.

Redwood asked, looking at the cakes on display.

“Which one should I buy for you?”

“I don’t need it.”

“Do you still like bread?”

Eclette, who was listening half-heartedly, looked up at Redwood with a surprised look.

‘’Are you really asking me that?’’

Redwood was just waiting for Eclette”s answer without saying a word.

‘I don’t like bread…..’

When she was a child, she ate bread soaked in water to fill her hungry stomach dozens of times.

What do you mean by asking me if I still like bread?

It reminded herof the past.

When she was starving in the slave market, Eclette once surrendered hard bread to a child younger than her.

‘He’s alive, right?’ It’s very meaningful for young children I wonder if he’s alive.

She’s been reminded of the past today, and before she knew it, Redwood put a small piece of bread in Eclette’s mouth.

“How is it?”

Eclette felt strange as she tasted something fluffy inside her mouth.

‘Is this how bread tastes?’

It was soft and sweet. It was like eating a cloud made of sugar.

Redwood, who smiled satisfactorily at the sight of Eclette eating deliciously, picked out some bread and a cake, paid for it, and handed it to her.

“I really wanted to buy it for you someday.”

“Why?”

“Is there something wrong with what I want to buy?”

Redwood tilted his head as he saw Eclette frownfrowned.

It’s wrong. It’s way too wrong. She couldn’t believe he was being kind to someone who was trying to kill him.Eclette couldn’t understand Redwood.

“Aren’t you afraid of me?”

“……..”

“I tried to kill you.” Is a madman fearless? Redwood considered Eclette strange.

“Why am I afraid of the woman who saved my life?”

“I saved you for fear of trouble.”

It meant that she didn’t save him because she wanted to.

But, Redwood only shook his head.

“I wasn’t talking about today.”

“I don’t care. I hope we don’t have any more business with each other.”

She had a strong premonition that she shouldn’t get involved with this man, so. she turned around coldly.

However, Redwood suddenly reached out, snatched the cake box and pushed Eclette to the wall.

“What are you doing!”

Before she got angry, Redwood’s lips seemed to reach out to. Eclette took a breath. The blue eyes she encountered burned violently.

Redwood’s lips slowly approached her ears. He whispered languidly.

“That won’t do.”

“……”

“I have to see you somehow.”

“……”

“So don’t avoid me. ‘Cause I’m gonna go crazy.”’

She felt like she was out of breath. It was only when he stepped back that Eclette could breathe properly.

Redwood, who was watching her, held the cake box in his hand.

“I’ll visit you next time.”

“What?”

“If you get caught, just ignore it.”

“What the hell does that……?”

“Well then, bye.”

Redwood said what he needed to and left first. Now alone, Eclette looked at his back with an absurd look.

“What kind of crazy guy is that?”

He just kept saying things she couldn’t understand and then went away.

“What a troublesome man…”

Hoping that her feeling was mistaken, Eclette looked down at the cake box. She was worried if she could eat it, but didn’t know why she was reluctant..

However, it was not so easy to throw away, so Eclette went back to Anatolia with the cake, which made the way back a little heavy…

‘I hope tonight doesn’t come..’

She sincerely hoped and prayed. She has to kill Marquis Kimberly tonight who she couldn’t kill last night. If she fails to complete her mission again this time, Kiries will not let her go.

“When will I…”

Will she ever get out of his grasp?

It’s been ten years. She’s lived as that man’s dog for ten years.

For a long time, Eclette was raised to be the perfect assassin under Kiries. The main task was, of course, assassination. In addition, she infiltrated and gave information to Kiries so that he could succeed in his business.

But it’s time for her to quit.

The project with Count La Chapelle succeeded this time, so she I will focus on it. You don’t miss the opportunity and just untie the leash and run away.

Walking with a deep sigh, she arrived at Anatolia’s mansion. As soon as Eclette entered her room, she weakly laid on the bed.

“I’m tired…”

She’s more tired than usual. But she woke up because it was chaotic outside. In the hallway, the members of the organization were seen talking seriously.

“What’s the matter?”

Eclette approached Hugh, who was at the center of the conversation, and asked him.

“The Schadenfreude’s movements are alarming.”

“For what?”

“I don’t know the details, but I think it’s going to happen soon.”

The current crime organizations were Anatolia and Schadenfreude.

Unlike Anatolia, which is growing in size by swallowing other criminal organizations, Schadenfreude has been on the decline.

However, as it is an old criminal organization,  there was not much information about them.

“It’s confidential…”

There’s also a saying that Schadenfreude will show up at Count La Chapelle’s party tonight.

Hugh spoke in a small voice to Eclette and left first, saying he was busy.

Eclette, who was left alone, laughed in vain. The whole situation felt like it was going bad for Kiries.

Anatolia’s boss, Kiries, tried to swallow Schadenfreude. So he was eager to find the successor to Schaden.

However, finding the successor was harder than catching a shadow, but so Kiries was determined to do so.

“If Schaden’s crew appears in that situation ….”

She’s sure they’ll kidnap him, threaten him, and torture him. And then swallow Schaden. It was so obvious.

Why does God make the bad guy better off?

Eclette went into her room with a deep sigh.

She took a bite of the cake right away. It was sweet, but the more she ate, the more frustrated and bitter she felt.

Eventually, Eclette threw it into the trash can after eating a few bites.

“I feel like a beggar.”

*******

That night.

Eclette attended the party dressed up as Kiries’ sister.

The party venue was more spectacular than she had thought. It was extravagant and fancy.

There was a long table that had luxurious food and expensive wines. The count seemed to show off that he had succeeded in the business and had a lot of money.

“Would you like some wine?”

The waiter approached and asked the pair. Kiries took a drink, but Eclette shook her head. However, he forced it into her hand.

“Drink.”

“You know I have something to do a little later.”

“I know.”

The red-colored wine looked like a dense feature. He lowered his eyes slightly with an expression of disapproval.

He looked at Eclette with a displeased expression.

“You’re not gonna get drunk just by drinking this.”

“……”

Eclette suppressed her sigh and took a sip just as Kiries had wanted.

Then she saw a woman approaching quickly from far away. She’s the daughter of Count La Chapelle, Haney.

Her rich blond hair, which was well managed with gloss, went down to the end of her waist. The dress was not fancy, but her presence itself gave off a graceful and elegant atmosphere.

“Baron Vastaccio is here!”

Eclette glanced at Haney, who was flirting with Kiries, and drank wine.

Indeed, there was no woman who would not welcome Kiries. Overall, he had a sharp and cold impression, but his appearance captivated the viewer.

Silky black hair and cool eyes. His red eyes that shine as if they’re going to see through a person.

He even has an atmosphere that overwhelms and captivates the opponent. He was an emerging aristocrat who is accumulating wealth in business these days.

‘But why are you staring at me like that?’

Haney’s mouth was curled upward, but her eyes were not smiling.

When Eclette thought it was weird, Haney covered her mouth with a fan,smiled and secretly brushed against Kiries’ arm. Kiries’ red eyes slowly began to sink.

Eclette. who witnessed the scene, slipped between the two.

Haney, who frowned slightly, asked as if she had finally noticed Eclette.

“Lord Vastaccio, who is this beautiful lady?”

“This is my sister.”

“Nice to meet you, Lady La Chapelle. My name is Kiera Vastaccio.”

“Oh my! No wonder you two looked so alike.”

The vigilant gaze quickly disappeared. Haney, who changed her posture instantly, was ridiculous, but she didn’t show it.

Eclette opened her mouth to say something, but Kiries pulled her hand behind her.

“I think my sister is thirsty, so I’m going to leave for a while.”

Until a while ago, she was so cool that she wondered if it was the person who laughed and talked.

Kiries, who went to the balcony, made sure there were no people and immediately said the main point.

“How long do I have to stay in business with La Chapelle?”

He seemed to want to stop the business right now if he could.

‘You’re just starting to raise money, but I can’t believe you’re going to quit already.’

“Is there a reason for that?”

As Eclette watched, Kiries seemed to get along well with Count La Chapelle.

‘Did I misunderstand?’

Kiries said calmly, but threateningly to Eclette, who felt strange.

“I want to kill her.”

“What?”

“I don’t even know the subject.”

Kiries was not an impulsive person. He was calculating, meticulous, and clever anytime, anywhere.

She knew his true feelings well, so sometimes she felt like it wasn’t the Kiries that she used to know. It was like that now.

‘What didn’t you like?’

No matter how much she thought about it, she couldn’t figure out why he was bothered.

As soon as she tried to ruminate on her memory, someone came into Eclette’s view.

‘Why is he coming out here?’

She rubbed her eyes thinking she was dreaming, but it didn’t change.

Eclette looked at Redwood with her shaky eyes. She was sure he wasn’t there in the future. But now he’s in front of her.

‘What the hell is wrong with that man?’

Last night, Redwood was where Marquis Kimberly was supposed to be. Usually, if the future changes, Eclette would know it. But she didn’t notice it at all.

‘”If that man intervenes, does the future change? It’s not enough to change, you don’t even notice it?’ (For those who didnt get this part, She’s talking about how she didnt notice the change.)

‘”Why didn’t I notice this time again?’”‘

He was a troublesome man in many ways. He’s too picky to deal with.

Please don’t come this way, but Redwood came exactly where Eclette was.

“I’m Redwood.”

Redwood, who suddenly approached, introduced himself to Kiries.

He could be embarrassed, but Kiries smiled and reached out to Redwood.

“My name is Kiries Vastaccio.”

The red eyes and the cold eyes were combined.

Redwood glanced down at his hand and smiled and shook hands. And once again, he said his name.

“Redwood.”

“Nice to meet you.”

“Of course it’s nice to see you. I’m the one you’re looking for.”

It was a drowsy and monotonous voice, but it was stuck with thorns. Kiries frowned and asked back.

“What do you mean?”

“It’s Schaden.”

The lips went up smoothly.

However, the slightly folded blue eyes shone sharply.

(T/N: And so~ the two psycho met.)

(E/N: I did NOT just wake up my entire house from me squealing and gasping. And falling off the bed…)
