The Villainess Is Worshipped By The Mafia? - Chapter 23

 

The two days promised to the citizens of Digitalis have passed.

 

As Blanche had promised, the citizens were excited and burned down the Giotto family house. Before playing with the fire, the Giotto family and the Campano family moved safely to the former Scusaa family’s mansion.

 

On the evening of that same day.

 

For the first time in a long time, Illia made an announcement at dinner

 

“I am removing Blanche from the Giotto family right now.”

 

A long wooden dining table that is spacious even for a hundred people.

 

Illia, sitting alone at the top of the table, sipped whiskey leisurely after dropping a nucl**r b*mb in the dining hall out of nowhere.

 

Even the members of the organization, who have been polished off the dirt, were silent as if they were drenched in ice water from the top of their heads.

 

The members of the organization did not dare to react, and quietly looked at Blanche, who was sitting in the first seat to the left of the wooden table, showing no signs of agitation.

 

Did she expect something else? She wasn’t too surprised. She didn’t even feel betrayed.

 

She just raised her right eyebrow and felt upset.

 

Finally, she opened her mouth.

 

“Liar. You said you wouldn’t be angry.”

 

“Blanche. I made this judgment for the sake of the organization.”

 

“You’re going to be bored.”

 

As she smiled, the tension that filled the dining hall grew sharper. Finally, Blanche stood up with the sound of a chair being pulled.

 

Sylvano was able to raise his voice, which had been silent as if he was strangled, until now.

 

“Where are you going, Blanche?!”

 

Blanche answered in a calm tone that was not overshadowed by emotions.

 

“The boss told me to leave. Then I should go.”

 

Everyone but Illia’s eyes widened.

 

Sylvano exclaimed hastily.

 

“No, you don’t have to go! Isn’t that right, Illia?”

 

“Sylvano. Now it seems that even you do not see me as the boss.”

 

“Are you crazy! How can you let her leave!”

 

“I don’t know when we started running our business trusting only one little girl.”

 

“Why is Blanche now a little girl? It’s not little girl, it’s 『Her Majesty』! Say it『Her Majesty』! The first 『Her Majesty』 produced by our Giotto family!”

 

Following the unilateral declaration of expulsion, the boss and the Consilieri were now in an argument.

 

A man rose from his seat, knowing that a crisis is an opportunity, which is usually not a big deal. He sat farthest from Illia. He was a boy in his late teens with orange blond hair and amber eyes.

 

He was quite handsome after washing well and wearing clean clothes. He also looked very attractive with the corners of his beautiful lips raised even when he was still.

 

With six piercings on his left ear alone, he staggered in front of Blanche.

 

“『Your Majesty』! Good thinking! Forget about the Giotto family who don’t know this kind of grace and come to us!”

 

“…….”

 

Why? Blanche looked at him strangely. Like she was meeting him for the first time.

 

The 19-year-old boy tilted his head at the strange look he felt.

 

Even Sylvano and Illia were closely watching the confrontation between the boy and the girl, and Blanche asked.

 

“… Who are you?”

 

“I am Guillermo!”

 

A slender man about an inch taller than Blanche.

 

This handsome man with a playful and pleasant atmosphere was Guillermo… 

 

After washing, he changed his clothes and became a completely different person.

 

Blanche pretended to know belatedly. But she didn’t feel sorry.

 

“Oh, really?”

 

Guillermo felt embarrassed.

 

Guillermo coughed.

 

“Uhumm. Anyway, 『Your Majesty』. Since this happened, let’s stay together and come join our Campano family from now on. With the power of 『Your Majesty』 and our actions, we will be able to become the losers in the southern region at once.”

 

Blanche spoke again with an indifferent expression.

 

“I’m not interested.”

 

Guillermo, unaware that his life was precious, stopped in front of Blanche.

 

“『Your Majesty』!”

 

“Move. I’m leaving Digitalis like this.”

 

Everyone except Illia was startled by her cynical voice. She left the dining hall with everyone behind her.

 

Like someone who had a place to go on this dark and cold winter night.

 

But in truth, it was someone who was not welcomed by anyone.

 

So Blanche calmly left the dining hall, and soon crossed the hallway on the first floor of the mansion. Everyone was shocked and amazed at the sight.

 

But wasn’t Blanche obsessed with the Giotto family? How can she just leave the family like this? This was unlike Blanche, as if she had another plan.

 

For a moment, everyone’s suspicious eyes turned to Illia, but he just filled his throat with alcohol.

 

Sylvano hit his chest with his fist when he saw Illia’s relaxed appearance. He really kicked in the lucky stone that rolled in. But still, Illia did not regret it.

 

He knew.

 

‘Blanche will surely return with Ricardo. Until the two of them return, we need to lay the foundation for the family.’

 

* * *

 

Blanche didn’t even pack her luggage. She doesn’t have to pack her things in the first place because she kept all of them in her inventory.

 

After her Health stat went up, she hardly ever felt tired, so now Blanche can walk through Digitalis in a day or two, and keep going.

 

After Blanche left the dining hall, the boss’s solemn orders followed, so the Giotto family could not go after Blanche.

 

Except for one person.

 

Giulio ran after Blanche when she was at the front door.

 

Blanche pulled a gray hooded robe from her inventory. Giulio exclaimed.

 

“Sister! Wait, wait!”

 

“Yes?”

 

Biting his lip, the ten-year-old boy asked.

 

“Older sister. Are you going to save my brother now?”

[T/N: He calls her “noona” here which is generally used to address a close older female by a younger male, biological or not]

 

She nodded her head with an indifferent look.

 

“Right. But how do you know that?”

 

“Sorry. Yesterday I overheard father and older sister talking in the room. Not in this house but the house we used to live in that wasn’t soundproofed.”

 

“Then you must have heard that I refused.”

 

Giulio nodded his head with a sullen expression.

 

“Yes.”

 

It was.

 

Last night. Blanche refused to obey Illia’s own orders.

 

She couldn’t help it!

 

‘I can’t believe he wants me to save Ricardo alone. To be arrogant when you’re an incompetent boss who only saved the dying organization with my help!’

 

Blanche trembled with anger. Moreover, she had no choice but to go to rescue Ricardo as Illia wanted.

 

‘Anyway, the problem is that Ricardo belongs to the Giotto family.’

 

If Blanche can’t join the Giotto family, she will soon become Ricardo’s enemy. Because Ricardo in the original story eventually became the King of Digitalis.

 

Blanche didn’t want to kill Ricardo or be killed by Ricardo. In either case, it would be difficult to sell Ricardo to the female protagonist, Anastage.

 

‘He said that anyone who gets to rescue Ricardo from Count Juan will be accepted as a member of the family.’

 

She clenched her teeth.

 

‘When I come back, no one will be able to kick me out from here. I will make sure of it.’

 

Blanche will never live under other people’s mercy again. She will live a life of using rather than being used.

 

Blanche bid farewell to the weeping Giulio.

 

“If you don’t have anything else to say, I’ll leave now.”

 

“Older sister! Wait! Here!”

 

Giulio sniffled his nose and hurriedly loosened the necklace he was wearing and held it out to her. It was an elephant pendant the size of her thumb.

 

An elephant made of black wood and with a golden carpet on its back.

 

Eyes of diamonds the size of grains of salt, an ivory-golden elephant swayed in the boy’s hands, threaded on an old leather strap.

[T/N: Probably the one on the cover, although we can’t see the pendant]

 

Giulio held out the necklace to her again.

 

“Take it.”

 

“What is this?”

 

“It’s my mother’s keepsake.”

 

“Why are you giving this to me?”

 

“My brother is suspicious by nature, so unless there is evidence, he won’t believe that you are from the Giotto family. And don’t worry too much about what Father said. No matter what anyone says, older sister is from the Gioto family.”

 

“Okay. I will use it well.”

 

Blanche then placed the pendant in her inventory. Mario’s corpse revealed that she could use some sort of spatial magic, so Giulio was not surprised at all when she used her inventory.

 

“It is precious to me, so please come back and return it to me!”

 

“Okay.”

 

That was then. Someone who wasn’t afraid of Illia called out her name in a loud voice, making the whole mansion ring.

 

“Blanche!”

 

“Guillermo?”

 

Guillermo grabbed a thick coat and rushed to her. He put the coat on the bewildered Blanche.

 

Perhaps because of the difference in physique, Guillermo’s cloak wrapped around Blanche’s body generously.

 

He playfully clicked his tongue.

 

“I knew this would happen. 『Your Majesty』. Even if you leave, you have to dress up warmly.”

 

Blanche blinked slowly.

 

“Is this new?”

 

“You told me that I looked dirty, so I made up my mind and bought a new one.”

 

“Was it really such a big decision to buy a new coat?”

 

“Ackk!”

 

Critical Hit!

 

Blanche, who did not know anything, attacked Guillermo’s weakness.

 

For some reason, Giulio squinted his eyes and ran towards her.

 

“Older sister. How much would be left from picking and selling pine mushrooms? After paying the protection expenses and the salary of his family, the pockets of this chick boss are nothing but dust.”

 

After the cat is the chick?

 

Guillermo struggled with a red face.

 

“Hey! You, you didn’t have to say that in front of 『Her Majesty』?!”

 

It was quite a pleasant talk, but Blanche only calmly conveyed her thanks.

 

“Thank you, Guillermo. I’ll dress well. Then I’ll get going.”

 

“Wait a minute, 『Your Majesty』. My kids will be here soon.”

 

“I am leaving alone.”

 

“It’s not what you think.”

 

Before long, thirteen of the Campano family ran to the front door. They each held a basket of apples, several loaves of bread from the banquet, water and wine, and a bundle of stickers that looked like burn marks.
