When The Villainess Loves - Chapter 8

“Hop!”

I stopped breathing for a moment.

There was a handsome man who I saw for the first time in my life. He wasn’t a mannequin despite his stunning looks.

It wasn’t long before the handsome man opened his mouth: “……I’m here to see you, Your Grace.”

Ah.

The man looked at me and paused, then he gave me a very soulless greeting.

I was out of my mind, so I couldn’t pay attention to his reaction mixed with wonder and annoyance.

Oh, my God.

Sigh. He was said to have silver hair. The original work, which praised it so much, was too short of expressive power.

The silver was as brilliant as ever. But that wasn’t the only thing.

A man with a noble and clear features, as if painted in oil paints, looked very luxurious.

At first glance, he looked ascetic, but his thin well-shaped lips of a bright red added an inseparable charm to him.

‘Ka, did you say it was Casanova?’

I recalled the word anf humbly understood  meaning of this cringe-worthy wird in this moment.

First of all, I gave him a friendly greeting.

“Hello, Sir Bolton.”

“Yes, but what’s going on?”

I gave him a beautiful smile when he looked at me.

Good to see you. I’m glad to see you. You’re right, Beauty is everytjing!

I approached him as if I had seen something I hadn’t seen before and held his sleeves carefully with both my hands.

My conscience remained me from holding his hands.

Desgust was shown on his crumbling face.

“What’s wrong with you?”

“I’m grateful.”

“……Yes?”

Thank you for being born, handsome.

All right. I’ve decided. For these three months I will bury my bones in virtue.

It became a plan, but it is no longer a plan.  Sincerely, I have become passionate about being a fanatic.

Do you think Eugene knows? That he motivated my life with his beauty.

Beauty was really worth it.

Hehe.

“No, what the hell are you talking about?”, he replied, feeling doubtful and irritable. That even such expressions can be shown on such a human work of art.

I replied while feeling that my eyes were getting dimmed.

“Just because you’re here,

Stand up.”

“What?”

I’m serious, so please don’t look at me like I’m crazy, handsome.

But for the sake of a good impression, I pretended to be joking and turned the subject around.

“No, sir, more than that, are you available today?”

The man’s noble expression became strange with the sudden change in the subject. I continued, letting go of his sleeve naturally.

“There’s a place I like to visit, but I’d prefer it to be escorted by someone.”

That was today’s business.

I was going to talk to him and spend as much time as possible with him. At least to the extent that his impression of me turns favorable.

The palace is large and there will be many good places to see, so if wespend time together in that beautiful environment, I will be included in good memories of his.

Eugene tilted his head a little curiously at my words.

“You don’t have to ask for my time, instead you could just order me to.”

He sounded rather cold. By the way, he is a escort knight, but he always makes it obvious that he doesn’t like to be one.

“But he’s a free knight who had received a title.”

A free knight who received the title of a silver knight.

His skills are known to be that of a sword master, and he was a man of a position who could not die even if he treated the royal family like this.

I know of his skills.

I knew it was more than that. Besides, there was actually a separate reason why he was acting like this. The reason is that he naturally rejects the princess who he dislikes.

“Of course I could order you to do it”, I said while nodding my head gently.

“But Sir, you don’t like me.”

As sweet as possible while remaining as clear as possible.

For a moment, he paused as if he was speechless.

“If I give you orders, you will be offended.”

Oh, it’s pretty.

His mouth, which remaibed seemingly relaxed, was visibly twitching underneath.

“I don’t want to offend you.”

“Sincerely.”

The cold silvery hair shone gracefully in the sunlight. I admired it happily and concluded with a small smile.

“It’s not an order, but a request. Would you mind sparing me a moment of your time, Sir?”

He remained silent. However the boredom  which filled his silver’s gray eyes was gone and there was light confusion instead.

Deepened eyes, a sharp and cold face, and a graceful figure with a straight posture.

Yummy!

I almost drooled. I managed to swallow the stinging saliva and looked up at him with a sad look on my face. Let’s go, let’s go! I know you’re weak to things  like this! Let’s get acquainted while taking a walk, handsome!

“… ha.”

Whioe still looking at me, he smiled in vain with an amazing expression. He laughed awkwardly because he was won over by my pitiful behavior.

He looked at me like that, and after a while he said something in a determined manner: “What will you do if I turn down that request of yours?”

“Then there’s nothing I can do. I have no other choice but to go around alone.”

Do you hate it that much? I got a little sullen. Then Eugene said: “There are other escort knights besides me.”

“It’s because I like you.”

Especially your appearance! That’s the beauty praised in the original.

“It’s no got if it isn’t you, Sir.”

Eugene paused at my slightly sullen words.

His eyes narrowed while looking at me briefly. Then he smiled lightly.

“Your Highness, didn’t I just say that I hate you?”

“You did… .”

He muttered in a cheerful tone as if he were singing: “But your highness just said that it can only be me. Even if your highness will say that you like me, its still…”

When I saw his silver-gray eyes slowly bending, I almost grabbed my beating heart.

“That is a heartbreaking confession.”

To be honest, it seemed like he wants me to feel insulted.

However, seeing his mysteriously secretive face made me feel like I was being tempted.

Is this why you ate called a Casanova? I just laughed.

He widened his eyes slightly when he saw me like that. He didn’t seem to like it.

After thinking about it for a while, he said with a a small voice: “… but I’m a very weak human being to confessions. I can’t help it.”

No subtle sarcasm could be found anywhere in his eyes that blinked.
His eyes just gliw siftly in a cold silver gray.

I looked straight into his eyes so that I couldn’t miss the pretty color even for a moment.

He paused for a moment and whispered with a smile that had crept up while observing me: “Okay, where do you want me to take you, your highness the beautiful princess?”

Yay! As expected, He’s not good with straightforward words!

I was excited, but I answered with a smile as if nothing was wrong.

“Thank you, sir. After a meal I see you here in two hours.”

I asked him to see me a little later because I still had to fibd a beautiful place where I wanted to go to. I’m going to ask Rini and Irene. No, Emma might be the vetter choice if it’s supposed to have a comfortable atmosphere!

He replied after showing signs of embarrassment for a moment: “Thank you…. Huh, no, Your Grace. I’ll be there.”

“I asked for a favor, but I have to come.  See you later.”

After expressing my gratitude to him, I turned around with him, whose expression became more weird.

He glanced at his hands that I had just held, and said goodbye a little late.

I nodded lightly and left.

***

The platinum hair fluttered away.

Eugene, who was staring at it with an unexpected look, lightly clenched and straightened his fist and turned around.

From the first time he saw her, she was an unlucky princess. She was not one of the people who were born with freedom.

‘I wouldn’t have stayed unless I had a chance to face Duke Eirik.’

The numerous benefits of the empire were beyond his interest. He’s only looking for someone who can elevate his level.

In the meantime, jis boss was the cruel and coldhearted princess Leticia, so he felt frustrated inside the walls of the palace.

‘I was hoping she’d get brought down soon… .’

“But something was different today.”

The ice-like atmosphere that surrounded hwr was gone. The long platinum blonde flowed gentle in the wind, and the small, thin face shone softly with unknown goodwill.

I didn’t know that her smiling eyes could be so beautiful. The princess was, for sure, a beautiful woman.

‘And what’s with that straightforward way of speaking?’

The silver gray eyebrows were slightly distorted gracefully. A strange voice leaked from the red lips.

“So she knew that I disliked her?”

His eyes shone with faint interest.

“I don’t know why she’s doing that, but I’ll play along.”

He murmured with a cynical but weak smile.
