Please Don’t Come To The Villainess’ Stationery Store! - Chapter 39

I had nothing to say because Melissa made me feel guilty.

Instead, Axion spoke coolly.

“He really is total trash. As I thought, I hated Duke Hesman from the beginning.”

“…really?”

“Ung, Mel. I hated him because he looks exactly like a weasel. From the beginning! And from now, I will never come to like him. Whether it’s in society or the academy, I’ll make a rumor!”

“Me too, at the tower…no, I’ll make rumors to the people I know.”

Carat also spit out a piece. The atmosphere was getting hotter and hotter with abusive language towards Lenox.

I glanced at Prince Cassian. Even if Melissa cursed Lenox, he was her brother, but because Prince Cassian was acquainted with Lenox.

In the original story, they weren’t really close, but they were well-known as close friends in society.

‘What do I do with this? Even if they’re not extremely close, he’s still his friend.’

And the friendship between Lenox and Prince Cassian must be known by Melissa and Axion.

“What does Prince Cassian think about this?”

Cassian rubbed his face dry as both their eyes reached him. It’s time for the ideological verification to return.

He spoke quietly.

“He’s an even bigger piece of trash than I thought.”

What? Trash? This man, was his character like this…?

I was shocked when I saw his friendly-looking face calmly utter almost abusive language.

I didn’t mean to shield Lenox, but.

“Aren’t you friends?”

“It’s a distinction between public and private matters.”

His character settings were like that. But I wasn’t that naive.

Cassian whispered softly while strangely meeting my gaze.

“If you can’t believe me, think of it as a return for the dreamcatcher.”

‘Ah, the dreamcatcher.’

“A lot of your nightmares must have disappeared?”

His gaze reached me quietly. I blinked and shrugged my shoulders.

“…I had a nice dream, in a long time.”

I nodded at towards Prince Cassian.

‘I ended up erasing some debts.’

Since he’s such a sharp person, he must have noticed that the magic in the dreamcatcher is different. However, Prince Cassian was different from Lenox. He wasn’t a mysterious man, but he wasn’t the type to speak sweetly and wear a knife to his heart.

I nodded silently.

Melissa, who was looking at us, spoke.

“Prince Cassian, you are on hold for now. Please be more sincere.”

Melissa looked around cheerfully and said, “From now on, Melissa will work hard.”

Why are you so serious and cute when you say you’ll try to obtain a husband for me?

My heart ached at Melissa’s loveliness.

‘She really is completely different from Lenox. How did a child so different come from the same bloodline?’

With her chubby fists clenched, the girl shouted and shook her beautiful head.

“Good! There are many conditions to be Miss Meldenique’s lover. He has to be handsome, strong, polite, and he has to like Miss Meldenique with all his heart.”

The conditions were very perfect.

I joked with Melissa’s cute face.

“I don’t think there’s anyone like that though?”

My words gave Melissa a serious sparkle.

“Do not worry. I will find him!”

“We will help too!”

I laughed inwardly.

This was probably a Twelve Warrior Explosive Eto Rangers kind of game?

I wasn’t such a bad adult to throw cold water on children’s play. So I nodded as if I was playing along.

Kids at that age are fickle.

“Okay, kids. I’ll look forward to it.”

So I didn’t know. At my words, in that spot, all the kids’ eyes were sparkling.

***

On the way back home.

Three little kids gathered together a few steps away from the front yard of the stationery store. Prince Cassian, who came out together with them to say goodbye, waited at a distance.

In fact, they were on a very grim mission, not to say goodbye.

“If you have a good person, tell me right away. I’ll take a closer look at the handsome ones.”

Melissa tended to like rather handsome faces.

Looking at Melissa, who was tapping her notebook and talking, Xion answered seriously.

“My brother is handsome too. I will observe my brother.”

Carat spoke,

“I will also look.”

They were in the same class, but the so-called ‘playing group’ were children who had rarely spoken to each other. But at this moment, they were one with each other.

“You don’t let Duke Hesman get to Mel.”

Melissa nodded her head seriously. Soon, Axion clenched his fist and said,

“Good.”

“It’s starting tomorrow.”

“Search properly!”

The three children gathered in a circle, clenched their fists, and held them out.

The three fists were struck with light at the halfway point and touched. A glaring look with no envy towards the general who had been dominating the continent.

Down with the cheating man!

Let’s find the true love for the nice, good, and cute Mel!

***

Carat returned to the academy’s dormitory with a strong desire.

Usually, aristocratic children commuted to the capital by carriage, but children like Carat, who didn’t have a residence in the capital, stayed in the dormitory.

‘I have find him quickly too, Mel’s husband.’

Melissa took the role as the fair judge. And Axion was already pushing his brother, Prince Cassian, as Mel’s partner. But Carat himself was dog fur with nothing yet.
(T/N: Dog fur means ‘worthless,’ bankrupt,’ etc.)

‘Where do I look? I want to find the perfect person.’

Mel’s figure hovered in his head like a cloud.

It’s definitely not that he wanted to eat slushies. It’s not that it was so fun to play with Mel. It was definitely, definitely not that he liked Mel.

Mel was so pretty, like an angel, that he just, he just wanted to help, so she wouldn’t wear her heart on her sleeves.

Everything he did was just to overthrow an affair, to bring justice to life!

It was none other than a messenger bird from the tower who greeted Carat, who had an ambitious fist clenched.

“Huk, a letter came!”

Carat blinked at the languid yet neat handwriting unique to the Lord of the tower.

As expected, even his handwriting is cool!

[Carat, I think I’m going to stay at the Academy for a long time this time too. I’ve finally found something I’ve been looking for for a long time.]

‘Huuk, you’re coming soon?’

Carat, who was burning with a sense of justice, decided to do something he had never done before. He sat at his desk, unfolded letter paper, and began to write stylishly.

[Tower Lord, is there a handsome, gentle, and modest man in the tower?]

Carat, who was pondering while writing, suddenly had a realization.

Come to think of it… the most handsome man in the tower is…?

‘Wait… the tower lord is the most handsome man, he’s the perfect alpha male.’

For your information, Carat was the second best man.

Carat, who was panting and leaving an unknown mark with his pen on the letter, tore the letter as if he had made up his mind.

Just in case, he cast a flame spell and destroyed the evidence completely. Then he took out a new letter from his bookcase and began to write.

[I understand! I’m waiting, Tower Lord! By the way, does the Tower Lord have a lover? If you don’t, I’d like to introduce you to my friend, Mel!

I assure you, she is definitely not a suspicious person!

-Yours sincerely, Carat]

Carat’s thoughts were simple.

It was because he wanted to see how the Tower Lord was as Mel’s partner.

The Tower Lord and Mel…

No matter how long he thought about it, it wasn’t bad.

If the Tower Lord and Mel got closer, she should be able to make more fun toys, right? Like something to fly in the sky…?

Carat clenched his fists and jumped onto his bed.

‘When will the Tower Lord arrive? Will he come with a dark mask again?’

If he identifies himself, I would have to tell Melissa and Axion tomorrow morning at school!

Carat jumped up while playing with the ball on his bed for a long time.

“I have to send the letter quickly!”

He quickly folded the letter and cast a seal spell.

He tied the letter tightly to the leg of the black feathered bird, which was at his desk.

“Birdy, can you deliver this to the Tower Lord? Ah, and this too.”

Carat wrapped a beer-flavored candy prettily and hung it on the bird’s leg.

If he tastes this, the Tower Lord will definitely like Mel. It’s an amazing product.

After opening the window and releasing the bird, Carat smiled satisfactorily. He was burning with a great sense of duty.

That night, in Carat’s dream, Duke Hesman, whom he had never seen before, appeared as a villain. And it was the Tower Lord who rescued Meldenique from the villain! And for the happy ending, Meldenique threw a big bouncy ball at Carat.

Carat, who was having a pleasant dream, smiled happily and hugged his blanket tightly.
