The Villain Recognizes the Villainess - Chapter 3

With that said, Soo-in once again looked closely at the woman in front of her. Blonde hair, blue eyes, a serene face. It was exactly as described in the novel. It was clearly Mianel’s appearance.

Soo-in hurriedly grabbed her gaze unconsciously. Only then did I find the young-lady n front of me from the foreign country, laughing and smiling.

I just saw her smile, but I feel like my head is already hurting. Those are Beckinia’s feelings through the connection.

“Mianel Young-ae.”

She suddenly stopped laughing and called Mianel. Mianel heard the sound even though the streets were quite far away.

“Good morning. Daisy Young-ae. How have you been?”

Mianel’s voice was calm, but friendly. However, Daisy responded with a bright smile, without any signs of embarrassment.

“Of course. No, I didn’t feel very well. The two weeks that Mianel Young-ae left her seat empty felt so long.”

“Thank you for saying so, Daisy Young-ae.”

Despite Daisy’s words, which seemed to ridicule the other person strangely, Mianel replied calmly without changing her expression. Then, naturally, she looked back and opened his mouth. It was a pretty, cheerful voice, not like her.

“Oh, it’s been a while since Beckinia too. I wish you went together. I keep remembering when you said you wanted to go to the kingdom of Ehiriden.”

Not only in her words, but also in her attitude, a kindness came out. Because of this, Soo-in almost seemed confused without her knowledge. However, she hurriedly concealed and responded skillfully. It wasn’t much different from Beckinia’s answer to Mianel in the novel. Since Beckinia is also good at acting, if she is not excited, she has the ability to wrap up a story quite plausibly.

“. . . I left for a study related to divine power, so if I try to follow along with your conversation, I’ll only interfere. Though I’m glad you went well.”

“Today is a long-awaited gathering, so I hope you stay for a long time. There are many stories to tell, including things about the Ehiriden Kingdom. Daisy Young-ae is also very happy, so please enjoy this party for a long time with a comfortable mind. Besides, today… I have someone, in particular, I would like to introduce to you.”

Mianel, smiling lightly at her words, said, staring at Daisy and Soo-in evenly. On her face, unlike before, she was clearly shy. The person she will introduce ‘in particular’ was Raysid, the crown prince.

Soo-in came to think that her appearance or attitude was artificial. It felt like something along those lines. It seemed as if in this situation, Mianel had decided that this kind of appearance or this attitude should be shown.

After a while, Soo-in realized that she was thinking that way, and secretly laughed at her self. Not long ago, she had lived in a situation where she was unfairly criticized and shamed by others, and this time she was suspicious of Mianel, who was in a situation similar to her past-self.

‘I guess I really am going insane. Oh, I’m crazy.’

Besides, everything was already set up, and it was clear without having to cover it up. It is a story that has already been decided. From how the story unfolds in the novel, to the character of the protagonist.

“Oh, Beckinia Young-ae, and Daisy Young-ae were also here. How much of a coincidence is this?”

The voices of others who greet her without such anxiety were cheerful.

Thanks to that, Soo-in was able to escape from the situation she was seriously blaming herself. Looking at the surrounding situation, it wasn’t much different from the previous one. As Soo-in and Daisy were traveling along with Mianel to a wide area, they met other young nobles from other countries who had a close relationship with Beckinia, and they also clearly ignored Mianel, just as Daisy did.

“Ah, there was Mianel Young-ae. She was so quiet, so I didn’t even realize you were here, you just seemed so invisible. This is not intended, so please forgive the rudeness, Mianel Young-ae.”

After a while, a woman in the group talked to Mianel with a compelling smile. Contrary to her words, there was no sign of apology on her face.

“No, how can you not know that, Neriya Young-ae. Mianel Young-ae is always following Beckinia Young-ae around. Honestly, if you look at Mianel Young-ae closely, you can easily see things like this. Oh my, I didn’t mean to say this…”

Another, who tried to admonish the rudeness of the previous lady, acted even more rude to Mianel. Of course, this was intended.

I didn’t know that they had met in advance, and planned to have a conversation similar to this.

There was no need to look for evidence for this. Their attitude toward her was clear. After saying their lines, they had a strange smile on their faces.

“No, even now you greeted me, so that’s enough. So how about going over there to continue our talk, in detail?”

Mianel responded insignificantly to their words. It wasn’t as clever and thought through as I was in Beckiana’s body, but it was still a calm voice without any agitation.

Then, as if they were a little embarrassed, they glanced at Soo-in.

It seemed like they were hoping I would take action against Mianel.

Also, in a way, it seemed that someone else was watching Soo-in, or Beckinia.

“This is Raysid Denal Raven. Nice to meet you.”

Then, suddenly, a soft voice came behind them. The protagonist of that voice was Raysid, the prince.

“Beckinia Young-ae is still here.”

Raysid’s vowels were still softly said, has he was saying hello to Soo-in. However, his eyes, which she saw inadvertently, were cold enough to make her never want to meet him again.

“I came a little late because Mianel Young-ae wanted to share her experiences with you, after not seeing you for such a long time. Still, there seems to be a lot of unfinished stories left, so I hesitated quite a bit to get into this conversation. But it’s been a while since I’ve talked with Mianel Young-ae . . . I hope you understand.”

Raysid said, hugging her tenderly from behind. Suddenly, his face was very kind. However, the facial expressions of the young ladies from other countries went dark.

To them, her face must have seemed to laugh. Moreover, Soo-in had no choice but to feel that way.

Because she was Beckinia, which Raysid hates. As he finished speaking, he once again glanced at her for a moment, but, as expected, the face was not at all favorable.

With his appearance, the atmosphere between Mianel and them changed in an instant. Those who were hostile to Mianel no longer showed their claws to her, and even showed her a sloppy attitude.

“Oh, I couldn’t tell you the most important thing. Mianel Young-ae, thank you for inviting me to this party today.”

“I’m also honored to be attending this party today, Mianel Young-ae.”

As soon as one Young-ae said her thanks, the other young-ae also quarreled and thanked her for inviting her to the party.

These were the actions that were highly conscious of the Raysid that just appeared. Mianel, who must have been most embarrassed by their extreme attitude, began to introduce her lover, Raysid to them.

“I am more grateful because you seem to be enjoying the party happily. Oh, and this is the person I just want to introduce to you in particular. My lover, His Majesty, Prince Raysid.”

At this time, Mianel’s face changed significantly for the first time.

Both of her cheeks were flushed lightly.

Of course, those who are here today already knew about her relationship with Raysid. Unlike her attitude, that is like letting them know her lover for the first time.

It was the same with Soo-in. She already knew what their relationship was like from reading the novel.

It was when I accidentally looked into Mianel’s eyes that she formed some doubts. The expression in her eyes, as if only flashing by, were embarrassed.

‘Why?’ 

A question arose for a while, but Soo-in soon came up with an answer in her own way.

It’s probably because Beckinia’s attitude, who liked Raysid, became so suddenly cold.

Even so, I had no intention of pretending to like Raysid on purpose.

The sooner I ended the evil act, the better.

“Oh, it was unhappy that I couldn’t give you your birthday present while I was in another country, so I prepared a small gift although it was late.”

While delivering her congratulations, Neriya suddenly received a small gift from her maid and handed it over to Mianel.

Then, starting with her example, other young-ae also handed small gifts to Mianel one by one.

“. . . Thank you.”

Mianel blinked and thanked them, as if this was unexpected.

“It’s not a problem.”

Soo-in also sneaked a gift to her, caught in the gap between them.

Then, she, who was checking out the gifts of others, suddenly turned her attention to Soo-in’s gifts. She hurriedly unpacked the gift she was unpacking, and immediately unwrapped Soo-in’s gift.

The gift Suin prepared was a perfume in a small bottle. Seeing this, she laughed happily. Then, with a curious expression, she opened the cap and brought his face closer to it.

“Mianel!”

But after a while, Raysid shouted, holding Mianel, who fell without a missing beat. She had fainted, but fortunately, after confirming that she was breathing, he stared at Soo-in fiercely.

When she saw his expression, she stepped back without knowing it.

Soo-in couldn’t believe even when she saw the situation in person.

Even though she did something completely different from what she did in the novel, she was in the same situation as the villainess.

Here, she was still the ‘evil woman’ who put Mianel’s life in danger because of her jealousy.

☾*✲⋆.

I just. . . might have to stab someone. It’s sooo clear to me that they set her up—I feel bad for the original Beckiana. I’m fuming rn. The Villain and the Villainess need to meet up ASAP.
