The Villainess is Happy Today - Chapter 6
Chapter 6
A man who had brown hair and black eyes. I knew how that brown hair made him so handsome.
That, of course, would be seen as dark blond if it was illuminated by the sun, and if it was dark, it would be seen as black. Brown was a common hair color, but it was uncommon for a brown hair to be that pretty.
And look at that face! It is such an excellent face that even Hollywood actors cannot compare to it.
It was no doubt that he would receive hundreds of casting proposals if he walked in the street right now. If that man showed up in a club, lots of women would stand in line for him.
The thing that stands out the most is his expression. If I were to take a picture, title it ‘Corrupted beauty,’ and upload it to the community blog, thousands of people will be crying ‘take me’ in the comment section.
“He isn’t a person worthy of your attention, Raylene.”
“…Why?”
He is that handsome! How can you say he’s not worth my attention! If he had a fan club I’d want to be the president.
“He’s a worthless, ordinary knight. His skill isn’t that outstanding either. Count Aswen is the leader of 12 knights, but instead, it seems like he received an invitation from the other knights.”
So what if he’s an ordinary person or a noble. To be honest, as a Korean citizen, I lived in a world where everyone was equal and had the right to learn. Although not everyone can be equals.
But if an ordinary person became a knight, doesn’t that mean his skills are good? If he’s a knight, it means he’s a very strong person.
A wave of information started to flow within my head.
A knight who had the lowest rank between the 1st and 12th rank in knighthood. A knight who helped the soldiers with patrols or gate inspections in the outskirts of the capital.
Usually, there were knights who stayed uninvolved and usually had no connection, skill, or status.
“He’s handsome.”
You’re that handsome, what does having no ability and low status have anything to do with it.
If you were born in South Korea, you would have been first in rank already. Why do you have to be abused here…
“Yes?”
Miele was looking at me with a startled expression.
Of course, I was always looking at the Prince, no, she must be confused, because Raylene, who acted like the Prince’s stalker, was complimenting a man’s face that she saw for the first time.
“Hahaha.”
Laughter was heard somewhere. It was a laugh that came from Raylene’s followers.
“I’m sorry, Raylene.”
Anastacia-Acia, hurriedly waved her hand and apologized.
As she swung her hand in the air, she let me know that she was really embarrassed.
“No. It’s okay. But did I say something funny?”
“No, it’s just… I was surprised that Raylene would speak to us…”
…What kind of person was the Villainess Eonni? She must have treated people with low status like how she would treat bugs… It must have been like that.
Did she think of ordinary people as livestock? If someone said a line like, ‘If there’s no bread, you can just eat snacks’? it must be this Eonni who said that.
“So Acia understands my words!”
So what. Now, I am inside Villainess Eonni’s body.
If people on the internet were looking at the golden spoon Eonni who dated the top class looking actor, they would think that they should live their only lives like that!
They’d think that, ‘Whoa, that Eonni is very cool.’
“Yes? Yes…”
As Acia’s embarrassed face stiffened, she looked at her hand that I held with a puzzled look.
“To be honest, other ladies had their attention fixated on him as well. It’s because he’s ordinary, but very beautiful.”
Sarah, who had the most cheerful personality among the followers, approached my side and babbled.
Just like that. Beauty standards were different wherever you go, but everyone would pay attention in front of an absolute beauty.
It had been a fact that since the early times, beautiful looks would attract both women and men.
“Ah… of course, he can’t be compared to the Prince.”
Sarah added weight at the end of her words while looking into my eyes.
“It seems that they have different types of beauty. The Prince is quite radiant and beautiful, while Lord Cassion is…umm.”
“Right! It seems like he would loosen his shirt’s buttons, approach us, then mess with my…Oh my, oh my!”
So they were humans too. To think that noblewomen would enjoy this kind of conversation as well.
It was nothing different to the conversations I shared with my friends in high school in my past.
Ah, their ages were similar as well.
Sarah giggled. Round face, round eyes. This face, that was covered with a couple of freckles, made her seem like a pretty tomboy.
“I didn’t know that Raylene would use words such as corrupted beauty.”
“I am someone who’s able to find a characteristic well.”
“There’s nothing Raylene can’t do.”
It seemed like I felt more familiar with their reactions. The other followers had smiles on their faces rather than the unpleasant expression that they showed not so long ago. It seemed like I felt more familiar with their reactions. The other followers who had a rather unpleasant expression not long ago, now had smiles on their faces.
Despite being noblewomen who were forced to be ladylike, they were still teenagers.
“You are right. Raylene, you might get criticism as well.” Ah, so a Princess can’t dance with a commoner?
“It’s okay.”
When can I ever hold the hand of someone that handsome again?
But how do you ask for a dance? Can I just approach him and hold his hand then say, “Let’s dance! With me! Dance!’ forcefully like that?
“Just let Raylene do what she wants. The Prince isn’t here right now anyway. Since it’s also my dream to dance with him just once, please make that dream come true instead!”
Sarah’s words made me shocked, and I looked at her.
How come there’s someone this kind.
What was so wistful for you to stand by Villainess Eonni’s side while hearing harsh words from her?
“I will do that.”
At that time, a memory flashed in my head. The way for a lady to request a dance to the partner she wanted to be with.
It seems like women in this place are really locked up inside a mold called ‘lady’, huh? In order to request for a dance, I need to send him a signal with my eyes? Why? Why can’t I just go to him and ask him to dance with me?
“…I’m asking this just in case, how can a lady ask for a dance?”
For a moment, there was a pause among Raylene’s followers.
“… It seems that Raylene has forgotten how to do it because you have only been dancing with the Prince ever since you were a child! You can just send an eye sign to the person you want to dance with.”
At the end of the short silence, Miele offset the awkwardness and spoke in a loud voice.
It seemed like they were trying hard to cover up my behavior that wasn’t ladylike according to their standards.
No, you don’t have to do that.
I won’t be able to live like you anyway. I just want to have fun, how come there are lots of suffocating things to consider!
…They did say, ‘When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Well, I need to do it. Is there any other choice?
“If Raylene just looks at him, he will surely come to Raylene. You are the flower of the high society.”
At this moment as well, they were praising me a lot.
No, even if that wasn’t it, Villainess Eonni’s looks are overwhelming.
Even though I come from a country with a developed medical technology, this face is a miracle.
“Good! I will try it once.”
Sarah was looking at me with a happy face, Miele was at a loss, and Acia was just dumbfounded.
The other two followers, Rosé and Feira, showed an excited face.
Why do I feel like I’m the subject of an experiment? Are you guys currently having some vicarious satisfaction in my stead?
As I waved my fan and took a leisure pose, I started looking at him.
How do you send him a signal using your eyes? Can you just look directly at his eyes? It’s really hard to dance with a handsome man.
After a while, it seemed like Lord Cassion felt my stare and was looking at me.
“Oh my, he turned his head this way.”
“It’s because he’s quite far, I can’t see him clearly.
“Ah! He turned his head.”
“He looked again! He is looking here again!”
I’m honestly curious, you guys are enjoying this, aren’t you? These women who covered their mouths with a fan, became commentators for his actions. I can feel their excitement in their conversations.
“Oh? He moved!”
“It seems like he changed his position.”
“He’s looking here again.”
Yes. Enjoy it. I’ll sacrifice my body.
According to them, if he felt my stare and turned to me, that’s the first step. The second step was to check if there was someone else standing beside me, and the third step was to attempt to walk from his spot.
Did he feel my stare that was following his movements? As I was thinking of this, he frowned.
Whoa… Corrupted beauty overload…
“He’s approaching us!”
“Oh my, really!”
He approached us while frowning.
