The Villainess is Happy Today - Chapter 7

Chapter 7

Nervousness was hovering around us. The followers’ lips that used to chatter were also closed tight.

When he approached me until he was right in front of my nose, we got so nervous that we could already hear our heartbeats.

Because I looked at him closely, I can say that his appearance was no joke. My jaw naturally dropped. It seemed like I was drooling.

My goodness… Is it possible to have a face like that in reality? Those dark eyes are a work of God. Those eyes did his corrupted beauty justice.

He opened his ruby lips.

“Why do you keep looking at me?”

Underneath the words that came out, lies a hidden meaning of ‘What the heck are you looking at?’

Ah, my burning heart cooled off painfully.

My ideal type is a soft and calm man! Why! Why are you this tough!

I turned away and raised my eyebrows as I looked at my followers. What kind of result is this! You told me to send an eye sign! Oh…

The followers were dumbfounded and couldn’t say a word as they stuttered.

Right, judging from Villainess Eonni’s memories, usually a lady’s stare always had a meaning of ‘I have an interest in you. Come here, baby’. It was unusual for a man to ask about it frankly like this.

“I didn’t look at you.”

He formed a displeased expression because of my words.

“I felt your stare, though.”

I’m embarrassed. I’m so ashamed.

Because when you looked at Villainess Eonni’s face, she was a very beautiful woman, I thought the romance of the century would happen. What kind of situation is this, my amorous glance was thrown in vain.

“I told you I didn’t look at you.”

As I slightly looked at him beyond my fan, his dark pupils met mine.

Ah, how can a face have a quality this high? Can’t you just coincidentally go to my home and be the knight to guard me?

Noona will give you lots of food and annual income.

I will take care of your welfare, and is there also insurance here? Even though there isn’t any, I will create one and make you a member. “Are you saying my eyes were wrong?’

“Ah! I told you, I didn’t look at you!”

How come this situation… It was as if a drunk man approached me in a pub and asked me to join the table and go for a second round persistently while clinging onto me, why.

“Do other people have the same thought as this person?”

As I assertively maintained the attitude of ‘I don’t want to join the table. Ah, please go.’ This time, I held my followers and dragged them along.

“Because you are handsome, she looked at you a little bit.”

“…What do you mean?”

“Because you are handsome, I thought maybe you’d want to dance with me, that’s why I looked at you.”

In the end, I had no choice but to tell the truth.

He might not know about the lady’s stare that wanted to request a dance. Thus, my thoughts went crazy.

It was because they said a commoner knight didn’t go to party halls that often. That would make my mood worse, but I should be honest, what can I do anyway.

Lord Cassion showed displeasure because of my words at first, but then it became something like an ‘aha’ expression.

He had a poker face but it was surprisingly easy to read his expression.

“So, I was impolite. I apologize.”

“No. Today is the first time I saw you, so it seems that you are not someone who attends a party often, I might have made a mistake.”

He looked at my eyes for a moment and then let out a low chuckle.

Whoa, to think that I can see that ‘chuckle’ in person… So the popular chuckle that showed up in many novels looks like that. Whoa…

“Excuse me. Then, please have fun.”

After he excused himself, he left just like that. He didn’t even look back

“Oh…?”

This brat. When I read the novel, handsome men would be crying, telling me, ‘I love you!’ as if they’re possessed, but why did you dump me right away just like that!

I did meet a handsome man, but I couldn’t even talk to him properly.

That man seemed uninterested even though he looked at this Villainess Eonni’s pretty face.

He, who walked back to the wall he stood before, twisted his body and looked at me.

Right! There’s no way he didn’t get the slightest bit of interest!

“He just… left, huh.”

Like Sarah’s words, Cassion, who turned his body for a little

while, firmly turned his back again and headed to the wall.

“You are right…”

I got rejected, right…?

If it’s come to this, let’s just have lots of fun using Villainess Eonni’s money! Today is that situation-a vacation where I don’t need to worry about money.

“He’s a rather impolite person, huh.”

“It seems that he’s like that because he doesn’t attend parties often.”

“Well, he’s a commoner so it’s obvious that he doesn’t know the basic party etiquettes.”

As soon as he came back to the wall, the followers opened their mouths.

“Ah, but because he’s too handsome, I couldn’t say a word when he was near me…”

“Me too…”

“Raylene is awesome. You spoke directly to him. I was nervous, though.”

“No. I was nervous as well, but it seems like I got rejected.”

I was nervous too, but because his character doesn’t fit well with me, my heart got colder.

Maybe if he was kinder and asked me to dance with him, he would have rode Villainess Eonni’s carriage and we would have gone home together.

“To think that he rejected Raylene’s offer. As expected, that commoner’s eyes are strange.”

“He can’t help it. He has been used to looking at common women; how can his eyes look at Raylene’s beauty properly?”

“Oh my, it seems like that’s most likely the case.”

As I listened to their words, I scanned the party hall once again. My eyes that got higher standards because of Lord Cassion were looking at other men and…

Let’s just turn my head away.

Right, don’t give up today. I am the reserved crown princess anyway, what’s the use of me hunting menfolk? It’ll be only me who will be at a loss if a lousy gossip were to form about it.

Looking at Villainess Eonni’s memories, in this aristocracy, men can look at other women and get away with it. But it seems that if women do the same thing, they would have to bear with all the fingers pointing at them.

Because of that, the bratty Prince within the novel was able to act like a casanova.

Dear writer, how many settings did you put to make this setup possible?

You put a lot of effort just to justify the female lead who seduced the Prince. Really.

At this time, Lord Cassion kept lingering in my mind. After I got ignored once, I can’t stop looking at him…

Seriously, why don’t you try coming into my home? Who knows? Maybe you can acquire benefits if you are being taken care of, despite the lack of skill you currently have.

…I need to hurry and break my engagement. Let’s find a proper excuse this time.

***

I looked at the sign of the building in front of me.

‘A delicious cake shop.’

A restaurant name that’s made very simple, huh! Because it sounds fake, let’s try to eat the cake to ascertain whether it’s true or not!

No, no, I didn’t come here for this reason. If I didn’t remember, I would definitely end up buying a cake, right?

I stopped looking at the sign and came in after opening the door. Then, as soon as I went into the shop, a couple of cakes were displayed.

It might be because the cakes were truly delicious, but the reason why I wanted to try them is because there were lots of varieties to choose from. Moreover, the figures of the cakes made them look beautiful. But shamefully, I did not come here for the cakes.

“Welcome- How can I help you?”

A woman with orange hair that stood on the counter asked cheerfully.

“A takeout of steak cake.”

“Yes?”

“Steak cake!”

After the orange-haired woman exchanged glances with me, she grinned.

“How would you like it done?”

“Well done. Until it’s cooked well.”

“Yes, dear customer. Please wait for a moment because I need to escort you to the second floor.”

The woman grabbed a paper. After she jingled the bell a couple of times, a slender man came out from the side door connected to the kitchen.

I was escorted to the second floor.

Once I reached the second floor, there were a couple of arranged tables where the customers could eat cakes.

Perhaps it was a normal business after all.

The man reached the second-floor wall, tapped a pattern, then a door deftly opened and guided me inside.

There was a middle aged man sitting there.

“What information do you want to get here? In our information lounge, we collect the deposit separately, listen to the request, and then pay us an extra…”

Clink

I threw the coin bag containing gold coins to the table without a hitch.

And gave him the biggest smile that I could ever create.

“Get the guild master.”
