The Villain Recognizes the Villainess - Chapter 2

Once again, she made her intentions known.

Then there was a sense of relief that overcame his foolish expression that played upon his face.

“That’s good news. I can figure out your subject right away. Well, regarding the tutor, I know how to set it up. So make sure you never do anything that bothers Mianel anymore, okay?”

Count Nerssian fiddled with his beard and contemplated, and soon revealed a positive meaning.

Based on what she had watched, for a while, he seemed to have to consult with his wife regarding a Vecchinian tutor. However, it seemed that he made this decision because he decided that the priority was to divert attention to Mianel from Beckiana.

‘Based on this and that, the real power of this house is Lady Lainne. This is a very different part of the novel.’

Count Lienne’s wife. She was the mother of the heroine of the novel, Mianel, and the sister of the Duke of Luizita. However, she was not a blood relative of the family, but a foster daughter.

It was you. It was a foster daughter. After the loss of his wife, the Duke of Luizita’s father was lonely and took her as his daughter. All right.

After the loss of his wife, the Duke of Luizita’s father was lonely and took her as his daughter.

After the death of the late Duke’s father, she married Count Nershid from another country.

This was almost all that was written about her in the novel. So Soo-in didn’t really care about her existence.

However, just by talking with Count Nersid for a while, Soo-in could see her position here.

I could tell.

As she learns new facts, she feels anxious.

The fact that she is Beckinia is also shocking, but her discomfort is mainly rooted from how the situation in this place, is now strangely different from the situation she read in the novel.

Fortunately, her talk with Count Nersid did not stretch on, but Soo-in still felt the time they ate at the dinner table was too long.

I wanted to quickly go back to the room and check what parts were different from the novel.

‘You know, there was a diary in there.’

Soo-in hurried back to her room after finishing her meal.

She immediately took out the small notebook she had found before breakfast out from the drawer.

Then, Soo-in compared the dates she had obtained from the maid and the dates written in the diary and read the contents.

‘According to the information I checked, it seems that Mianel and Raysid are in a romantic relationship.’ 

Soo-in calmly read what had happened since, reflecting on the information she had gained before breakfast.

Of course, because Beckinia was not a meticulous journalist, there was little information she could get, and even that wasn’t detailed.

But very little information was enough.

For example, soon there will be a celebration party to commemorate Mianel’s return from another country.

At this point, what Soo-in could do was already decided. Her current goal was not to join the original Beckiana in her misdeeds.

To do that, I had to avoid friction with Mianel as much as possible. Now, what she’s now fighting with Mianel is about Raysid.

Although it is Beckinia’s one-sided argument.

“Yes, but it won’t happen from now on.”

he didn’t like Raysid because she wasn’t Beckinia, and she knew what was going to happen.

In this novel, there were too many people in the novel who wanted to stand next to Beckinia and bully Mianel. If it stays like this, it’ll be consequential.

I felt strongly that I could be accused of touching Mianel by being blamed by them as a result.

She decided to take some steps. Part of that was to openly express interest in Hysis.

She had already pressed the first button.

Just now, Soo-in told the Duke of Nershid, the father of Beckinia, that she needed a tutor, and she stole a glimpse of his emotional state.

So she revealed that the person she likes is someone other than Mianel likes.

Of course, given her behavior so far, they wouldn’t be able to believe it easily.

Beckinia in the novel didn’t want to let go of what she wanted. But at the same time, she’s a capricious woman.

Also, there would have to be a reason that Beckinia decided to move her heart to Hysis.

So far, there was no reason to change her mind. She remembered that after Mianel started dating Raysid, Beckiana’s obsession had grown.

Beckinia followed him more closely, and in the process, she became involved with Hysis.

It happened quite accidentally.

One day, Prince Raysid set an unofficial schedule. It was a simple social gathering for the purpose of hunting.

The place was a hunting ground near the home of Aiden, a childhood friend of both Mianel and Beckinia, and one of the members of their friend group.

She was well aware that Raysid had a close relationship with Aiden, and she steadily circulated around him to get this information in advance.

I got it back. Then, she was attacked by wolves as she tried to approach them as if she had run into them by accident. That’s when. . .

The person who rescued her was none other than Hysis.

In fact, for Beckinia, this incident may not mean much. Because her heart was filled with Raysid without any gaps.

In any case, he was a lifesaver to her. Of course, saving her in danger could have been a natural thing for a gentleman.

However, when I think about his usual public image, his behavior felt quite strange.

Hiss Denise Raven. Although he was the eldest son, he was a prince of misfortune who could not become a prince. His personality was so cold and indifferent that anyone who had ever seen him would admit the same.

Soo-in would not take his favor for granted like how the novel’s Beckiana took it for granted.

Thanks for him saving her, she was able to have an excuse for why she liked him. And hopefully, it makes them believe her feelings for him are genuine.

And what made her believe it would depend on how she behaves in the future. Fortunately, the person who will teach her will make it easier to tell the story of her, the troublemaker of this empire.

It will be easier to believe if the rumors spread around.

The last thing she thought was about Beckinia’s attitude toward those around her. This was simple. It was just a matter of slowly distancing herself from them.

Innette, the maid who led Beckinia directly in her misdeeds of harassing Mianel. Not to mention the aristocrats from other countries who were whispering to her about how to harass Mianel.

“This is enough to prevent the worst.”

Suin mumbled and covered the diary.

The tutor would be charmed by her, and lead that part of the process.

Until then, all I had to do was to think carefully about what I should be doing at the party.

‘What was the problem that Beckinia had at the engagement ceremony?’ 

She quietly closed her eyes to review the contents of the novel.

There seemed to be something quite significant, but she couldn’t remember it.

Soo-in bites her lips without knowing about the frustration and then suddenly opens her eyes.

This is because one thought suddenly flashed through my head.

Apparently in the novel, it was clearly stated that Mianel had eaten a cookie containing poisonous substances that Beckinia gave to her as a gift.

Although no toxins were clearly detected in the cookie, but shortly after she ate the cookies, she collapsed on the spot, and the poisonous component appeared in her body.

I didn’t know why, whether Beckinia couldn’t make good judgments because of jealousy, or whether she was just a simple thinker.But,

‘I can’t do that crazy thing.’ 

However, with a lazy heart, I was planning to minimize contact with Mianel at the party and not give the gift that Beckinia originally intended to give.

Soo-in, who finished her thoughts like that, sighed deeply.

‘When I opened my eyes, I was suddenly in an absurd reality. I quickly weighed the surrounding situation and came to my own conclusions, but it was still realistic enough to think it was a not dream. Moreover, I joined the party before I could even adjust to this situation. That is also at the party where the incident that led Beckinia to be called a villain took place.’

Suin opened the diary that had been covered again. The number was shown as 28 May 1142. It was only three days before the party.

***

The banquet hall was filled with beautiful melodies. It fits very well into the rich and colorful atmosphere of this place. In addition, sculptures large and small were properly arranged throughout. Among them, there were a number of sculptures made of transparent ore, like glass, which were illuminated by the bright lighting of the chandelier to give it a more radiant glow.

They were reflected in the bright lights of the table d’hote, giving them a more beautiful hue.

Soo-in admires the sight, unknowingly. She thought that it was enormous. As she heard, today’s party was as simple as possible. So it was said that the size of the banquet hall was reduced more than usual, so she couldn’t even imagine what it would have been like before.

But in fact, this party was not much different from before, except that the size was reduced. Formally, it was just a social gathering party celebrating Mianel’s return from another country after a long time, but in reality, it was more than that. Her lover, Prince Raysid, was to attend this party informally, and Mianel was due to introduce him formally to others here today.

“Beckinia, Youngae.”

After a while, someone called up Soo-in, who was feeling burdened and uncomfortable because she could not admire the luxurious banquet hall.

At the call, she was a little surprised, but soon turned around and greeted her. A light smile hung on her face.

“Good morning.”

Of course, she had no idea who the woman in front of her was.

Although she was trying to figure out who the other person was based on the appearance of her face or the color of her hair.

‘Anyone here would be Young-ae from a foreign country with whom Beckinia or Mianel are close with. Her hair color is common, so it won’t be narrowed down to one, but she must be either Lena-Ana or Daisy.’

Soo-in seldom discerned who the subject was in front of her, so she took off sweat inside, but she still had a pale smile on her face, so that the woman in front of her wouldn’t have any doubts, in accepting my words. Soo-in played back in moderation and looked back at the scenes in which the characters were depicted in the novel.

Then, Soo-in suddenly saw a woman in her eyes. She was a woman with bright golden hair that seemed to be made by squeezed honey and blue eyes like a clear lake.

I don’t know about here, but it was a rare combination where Soo-in lived. But she was so beautiful that this combination felt very rare. Moreover, her eyes were sober and solemn that she looked like a holy saint.

Su-in happened to look at her a little dazed. Young-ae, from another country, noticed Suin’s changed attitude and looked around. After a while, she nodded and said, as if understanding.

“Oh, I was wondering what happened, and today’s main character, Mianel Young-ae, has arrived.”
