The Villainess’ Beloved Plan: The Struggles to Avoid a Doomed End - Chapter 41

“Why are you making such a big commotion?”

The next morning, Orion came to the room and glanced at Sophia’s face.

Sophia replied, “It’s nothing,” and decided to have breakfast with Orion, which she ordered from room service. She also invited Isolte, but she declined.

Incidentally, Randall left the room in a foul mood as soon as he woke up in the morning.

“……..” He didn’t have to be so angry.

Sophia, who was about to be taken to the bedroom by Randall after an argument, escaped to the bathroom. The bathroom has an internal lock. Randall banged on the door and yelled at her, but when she continued to ignore him, he gave up and left–and Sophia ended up spending the night in the cat’s paw bathtub with the water drained. Thanks to that, her neck and back ached, and she couldn’t sleep at all, so she was sleepy.

Because of this, Randall didn’t even say “good morning” to her when she saw him in the morning.

‘At least I managed yesterday, but the bathroom all the time is indeed a bit ……. What shall we do starting today?’

The ship is a five-day, four-night trip. The ship will be traveling for five days and four nights, and there will be three more nights. This was a serious situation.

No servant’s room, no couch, no floor. Not even with Kyle. Of course, Sophia, when she got cold feet, she understood that this would be a no-no. They could ask for a cot, but she was sure Randall would object to that, too. She didn’t know what Randall’s “disgrace the Dukes of Voltio” standard is, but this probably applies.

“So, how was last night?”

Orion asked with a sly grin, which made Sophia feel annoyed, partly because she hadn’t had enough sleep or slept well, but she couldn’t come up with a good excuse. However She should get Orion’s help. When Sophia reluctantly explained what had happened last night, Orion started laughing hysterically.

“Seriously! You holed yourself up in the bathroom?”

“I had no choice! We only have one bed.”

“Why don’t you just sleep with him? From the looks of it, I don’t think Randall is going to mess with you. I didn’t get it in the game, but he’s not just a bad guy, he’s a very hard and obtuse guy.”

“I can understand a hard-ass, but what’s so obtuse about him?”

“Oh, you’re insensitive, too,” she said.

Orion smiled a sly grin and scooped up a spoonful of the fluffy omelet.

Sophia did not understand what Orion meant, but she agreed with her that Randall was not interested in her. Randall is not only not interested in Sophia, but dislikes her to the extent that he calls her a “watchdog”. He would never have illicit feelings for her.

(……) I’m getting a little sad.

‘Where the heck is the loving relationship? I wish someone would get me a game console and a TV. I miss the games where the story progresses on its own. I miss the days when I was thrilled by the choices that appeared from time to time. I’m glad the game can be saved…….’

Sophia wants to escape from reality.

The lack of sleep has made her lose her appetite, and even though there is a delicious-looking breakfast lined up in front of her, she could hardly eat it.

“What do you think I should do starting tonight?”

“Randall’s condition is such that you will have no choice but to sleep together. You have a big bed, why don’t you make a dike with cushions in the middle?”

“It’s going to break any minute!”

“Well, it’s just a cushion.”

It was stupid of me to try to rely on Orion.

Sophia dropped her shoulders and put the orange juice in her mouth. It was a little sour.

Sophia felt depressed in the morning, thinking about what she would have to do tonight.

As it turned out, Sophia’s worries were to be resolved by mid-afternoon.

Sophia’s hard-line approach of sleeping in the bathroom caused Randall to snap. Randall negotiated with Kyle to sleep in his room starting tonight, and Sophia was told to use the bed in the bedroom alone. It was worth the pain in the neck and back.

However, Randall’s mood had not improved at all, and Sophia, feeling uncomfortable, went to the salon with Orion.

Cedric, a service staff member, prepared tea and cake.

“I can’t enter the pool at this time of year, so I don’t have much entertainment”

“I heard the captain is talking in the hall at this time.”

“Is it fun to listen to the captain’s story?”

“I don’t know. I think people like it.

I’ll pass. I’ll pass. Well, if he’s got something interesting to say that makes one laugh, I’ll go.

Orion said, and Cedric, who was standing by her side, bursted out laughing.

“The captain is not good at jokes, so you may not hear anything funny.”

“Then what kind of stories are you talking about?”

Well …, usually, the story of the voyage so far, the story of the sea around here, and the old tales, He was once attacked by pirates when he was young.”

Pirates!

These days, Verhund’s righteous pirates are policing the seas, not the ones who go around openly trolling.”

They have permission from Verhund to attack other pirates’ ships, which has reduced the number of pirates who attack ships indiscriminately. Although they are pirates, they are like Verhund’s navy.

Speaking of pirates, there is one among the targets of the “Snow of Glastona ” capture targets. It is D’Artagno, a righteous pirate. However, since he became a righteous pirate supposedly a year from now, it is unlikely that they will meet during their honeymoon.

Orion seems to be interested in pirates, but she came to the conclusion that the story of “the captain who can’t tell a joke” would be boring, and said she would just hang out at the salon.

By the way, is it an opera tonight? I wonder if I’m going too. Is there a servant quota?”

“I don’t know.Cedric, do you think it will be alright?”

“I’m sure it will be fine. Some of you will be accompanied by a maid of honor, so if you would let me know in advance, I can arrange a seat for you.”

Then, please give me the portion for Orion and Isolte. I will also check with Johannes, so I may ask you to increase by up to three.”

“Understood,” Cedric smiled and nodded.

“An opera. I wonder what the story it’s about. I’ll take a nap later so I don’t fall asleep during the opera.”

Sophia was now excited and decided to take a nap on a deck chair by the pool after enjoying her tea.
