The Villainess’ Beloved Plan: The Struggles to Avoid a Doomed End - Chapter 31

Kyle Levord couldn’t believe his eyes.

Rumors were circulating that a man claiming to be Sophia’s real father had appeared recently and his mother, Rose, was terribly distressed when she heard about it, and Kyle himself was so outraged by these disgraceful rumors that he decided to launch his own investigation.

Randall, with his big head on his shoulders, seems to be sitting at his desk and collecting documents that could serve as evidence, but there was no way he could find out what had happened more than 16 years ago so easily. It was more efficient to directly search Gassour’s neighborhood than to do such a trivial thing.

It had always been in his nature to do his own research rather than using other people, and one of the Levords’ family precepts was to “do your own research.”

It was to “actually see and judge with your own eyes,” and Kyle had been practicing this since he was a child.

He wore common people’s clothes so that he would not stand out in the store, dyed his platinum blond hair black with a dye that would come off if he washed it, and sat in a corner seat at Mikadukitei for the rest of the stakeout.

It was the third day of the stakeout.

Suddenly, a young girl appeared in the restaurant, which had been run by the owner and his son.

Kyle’s mouth dropped open when he saw them in their knee-length dresses.

‘Isn’t that …….Lady Sophia?’

She was disguised in a wig and glasses, but Kyle could still recognize her. The emerald eyes behind the glasses were not hidden, and above all, there was a different kind of elegance coming from her body. Kyle almost sat up to catch Sophia, but thought to himself, “No, I should wait.”

Sophia had been living in this area for more than a year and a half. Sophia’s atmosphere must have changed a lot in the past year and a half, as she has become more sophisticated. Above all, it would be a bad idea for Kyle to make a bad move here and stand out from the crowd.

Kyle decided to watch for a while and observe Sophia walking around with a plate of food.

‘…… how cute is that?’

Sophia smiles at him as she brings him the food he ordered. Cute. Too cute. Most of the aristocratic ladies are usually catty, and a person won’t know what they are thinking behind the scenes. The best example is Keira, whom Randall says is “kind and pure”. Randall may have a strange filter in his eyes because he adores his cousin Keira, but that is one hell of a vixen. I would not want to get involved with her if I could.

On the other hand, Sophia is surprisingly unbiased, although I don’t know if it’s because of her past as a commoner. There were no strange tactics in our conversation, and when I met her for the first time, I was impressed by the way she held the hem of her dress and tried to greet me with a faltering gesture. She is an angel. Too cute. To put it simply, it was love at first sight for Kyle.

The first thing that comes to mind is the fact that the girl is only fourteen years old and has just been brought to the castle. The girl was seven years younger than Kyle, and if he suddenly asked her to marry him, it might surprise her. And if a twenty-one-year-old man asked a fourteen-year-old girl to marry him, he would probably draw a lot of attention. It would be better to wait a few years. Kyle thought so and sent a letter to his parents, who were living in the territory, stating that he wanted to marry Sophia someday. His parents, especially his mother Rose, were so happy that they decided to wait until Sophia was at least sixteen years old to ask him to marry her, but Randall snatched her away from them.

‘I can’t tell you how frustrated I was at the time.’

He didn’t see that coming from Randall. In fact, he had thought that Randall loved Keira so much that he was going to take her as his wife.

But Kyle was willing to accept it if it would make Sophia happy. The Dukes of Voltio were one of the most prestigious families, and Randall was the nephew of the current king. Sophia would be happier than if she married him.

But Randall had neglected Sophia by staying at the castle instead of returning to the duke’s house after their marriage. That alone was enough to make him angry, but what made it worse was the dance party hosted by the royal family at the end of last month.

Randall denounced Sophia in front of everyone.

The reason was that Sophia had poured red wine on Keira’s dress.

Even if that were true, where was the need to denounce Sofia at that moment?

Besides, it was hard to believe that Sofia would do such a thing. It would have been more appropriate to say that Keira had poured red wine on Sophia’s dress.

Countess Arena Legato, who was by Sofia’s side at the time, proved Sofia’s innocence, but if it had been a little later, Kyle might have grabbed Randall.

Randall is my friend, and I don’t want to do anything to break our friendship – but Randall is not a suitable husband for Sophia.

If Randall had believed the rumor that claimed someone else as Sophia’s father and blamed her for this incident, he would have taken her by any means necessary. But Randall was suspicious about the matter and did not seem to have any intention to blame Sophia or to divorce her, so it was all right.

“Oh, it does spill if it’s held like that. ……”

Kyle followed Sophia with his eyes, flustered.

If Kyle had been able to identify the man claiming to be Sophia’s father as a fake, would she smile at him?

Kyle clenched his fists tightly as he imagined Sophia’s smile.

‘Wonderful……!’

But first.

‘Excuse me. One barleywine.”

‘For some reason, I would like Sophia to smile as she serves in a cute dress.’

Kyle raised his hand a little and placed an order while smiling at Sophia.
