Act Gracefully As A Villainous Lady

Chapter 21



21 Villain Warrant Lady, impressed by street food

The next thing Meliá Rose saw was a stall with a fragrant smell.

I wonder what it is over there.

From behind the crowd, Meliá Rose peered softly into the stall.

They’re making you sound delicious with juice, that’s…

“Deep-fried Jaga.”

“Deep-fried Jaga?

Willem answers me like he guessed Merriah Rose’s question.

Sounds like a dish with fried potatoes.

From where a lot of people are gathered, it also looks like a popular dish, apparently.

“Deep-fried Jaga… I’ve never seen it before”

The fried jagged food now sold in front of me was something that Merriah Rose had never seen or eaten before. But the people around me happily buy fried jaga one after the other.

“… would you like to try it?

“Oh yeah……! I’ve been through everything!!

Meliá Rose watched Willem buy two fried jaga as she felt the beating beat.

Then he stares at the fried jaga in Willem’s hand, which is back, and swallows the rice noodles.

“This is the fried jaga…”

Melted butter is caught between two broken hokuhoku potatoes.

“Why don’t you sit down and eat?

“Yeah, I will.”

Meliá Rose sat down on the bench with a fried jaga in an exciting mood.

Surrounded by people who are just as relaxed on the bench.

Parents and children, friends, couples…… do we look like that ourselves?

That’s what I thought, and Melia Rose felt a little strange.

“Aren’t you going to eat?

“What!? I’ll eat…!

brought the thought back to reality all the time, and Merriah Rose stared at the fried jaga in her hand.

And shake your neck.

“How do you eat this?”

“… well. What was Mr. Meliárose like for the first time?”

Willem put on the shoulder of Merriah Rose for a little while and directed the child sitting in the abyss of the fountain.

My mother bought me a fried jaga… and I’m delighted to eat it up.

I see, it was strange because there was no knife or fork, but Merriah Rose finally understood how to eat fried jaga.

I’ll probably drop my gaze on the fried jaga and… eat it all up at once!

“Hot!”

“Are you okay!?

Deep-fried jaga was hotter than I thought.

Still…

“Yummy……”

It doesn’t taste like Meliá Rose usually eats. But I’m sure it’s delicious.

I see, Merriam Rose was reminded with herself why the store was thriving.

Once eaten, it won’t stop, and Meliá Rose goes on to fry jaga when she puffs.

I felt my gaze in the middle of it.

“… you don’t eat?

“What!? I’ll eat!”

For some reason, Willem stared at Merriam-Rose while leaving the fried jaga at hand.

Was it unusual for Meliá Rose, who makes a name for herself as a villain’s warrant, to eat fried jaga?

– So, could it have been weird for me to cheek fried jaga…

Melia Rose got a little embarrassed.

But if they’re Willem, I guess they don’t imitate what they say in school.

Today, Miss Villain Warrant is closed. You have to take your time enjoying your city daughter’s date.

“… can I ask you something”

When Meliá Rose was impressed with the deliciousness of the fried jaga, she heard a shrieking voice from the side.

Turning his gaze, Willem was staring at Meliá Rose with a serious look somewhere.

Shot out by those sincere emerald eyes, my heartbeat jumps by accident.

Willem slowly opens his mouth without waiting for Merriam Rose to respond.

“Why did you suddenly say a date?”

… If they didn’t ask, it wasn’t like I thought.

If the position were the other way around, no doubt Merriam Rose would have heard the same thing.

“And I can’t believe anyone… what would you have done if the weird guy was the other guy”

“It’s…”

To be honest, Melia Rose wasn’t thinking that deep then.

I just want blood on my head, and I want Bertram to say, it was that one heart.

Maybe it was a pretty dangerous situation now that I think about it. Depending on the target, it could have been the source of a scandal in the Duke of Maxwell’s house.

I’m so glad Willem took on the guy on the date, and Melia Rose was even more relieved now.

But Melia Rose was lost.

If I tell you how I decided to date you, naturally I also have to touch on things between Bertram and Julia.

Can I talk briefly about Bertram and Julia the other day?

“… If you’re in any trouble, talk to me. I can help you if you want.”

Huh. Willem’s voice color changed.

When he looked up, he looked worried somewhere, and he was staring at Mary Rose.

I felt like my body was losing its strength.

“Right…”

He is one of the same “team that wants to support the Prince’s love” as Meliá Rose.

In order to work out future policies, none of them would have had to tell him or Lynette the circumstances.

Bertram said that too.

Then… maybe we can talk about it now.

Meliá Rose opened her mouth softly, making sure to wrap the fried jaga with her hands.

◇ ◇ ◇

“… the Bertram guy, you fucked him”

When he finished discussing the obvious circumstances, Willem was holding his forehead as if he were frightened.

From him, who has been desperately trying to get along with the prince and Julia, I’m sure he feels like beating Bertram up.

“I… must be cold-blooded”

“Do you care? What he said.”

“… a little”

Meliárose became Meliárose, wishing him the happiness of the Prince and Julia. I was going to lean on the thoughts of the two of us.

But from Bertram’s point of view, Mary Rose looked like a cold person.

“I don’t think he really thought so, either, just hit Mr. MerriaRose, who was probably on the spot”

“But…”

“Besides, I… don’t think of you as cold-blooded”

Willem clearly said so.

To that word, Melia Rose’s chest gets hot.

“You always worked hard. Even Bertram should know that…. MrMerriaRose”

Mary Rose remains silent and waits for the continuation of Willem’s words.

“Why did you want to ride this plan?”

… Speaking of which, maybe I never talked about it among the Willems execution unit.

I was meant to know them well, but maybe I didn’t really know anything about them.

“Right. I… for various reasons, but I knew it…”

– I want to play the villain warrant lady.

– If you become the fiancée of the prince, you will be freed from the suitor.

For a variety of reasons, but most of all…

“I knew I wanted to support the Prince’s love.”

With that said, Willem unexpectedly rounded his eyes.

“Master Ulysses has always been a stranger. I heard someone like that fell in love with his daughter in the country… and I got jealous.”

“Envious?”

“Oh, not Julia, Master Ulysses. As Bertram told me, I’ve never liked anyone before.”

So I envied the very idea of “falling in love” and purely wanted to support the Prince’s love.

That was the original reason.

“Because it’s not nice. Like in a story, I can’t believe you’re in a different kind of love.”

It would be proud if the presence of Meliá Rose influenced the path to which the two are united at all.

That’s why I bothered to take on the role of Villain Lady.

“But… sometimes I wonder if this is okay. I don’t know if I can support people’s love. So… if it’s a date, I thought you’d know a little…”

I don’t feel like I’m straying somewhere.

Are you sure you’re okay with this? When I realized it, anxiety seemed to push me.

Willem opened his mouth softly to invigorate such a merrier rose.

“… you, your kindness… will surely pass on to the Prince and Julia one day. At least I’ve been thinking about you two a lot more than me or Bertram.”

Turning to unexpected words, Willem looked at the people walking still down the street with some derisive look on his face.

“I didn’t take part in this plan thinking for both of us like you did. I was just going to.”

Thus, for the first time, Mary Rose knew why he would participate in the plan.
