Act Gracefully As A Villainous Lady

78 Former Villain Warrant Lady, Become Victory Maiden

Mary Rose’s brother, Ernest – and hence the Duke Maxwell family – must win this year’s Kingdom Festival swordsmanship tournament in order for him to recognize his friendship with Willem.

At the same time, there was a role to be played by Merriam Rose.

“The victorious maiden role…… is it?

“Oh, you know Melia Rose, too, don’t you?

“Absolutely.”

The swordsmanship tournament at the Kingdom Festival is nominally dedicated to the Goddess of Victory.

The proxy for that goddess of victory…… sounds great, but it is simply for the young daughter chosen each year to assume the role of watching the battle and honoring the winner on behalf of the goddess.

Apparently, this year, Merriam Rose was chosen for that “victorious maiden role”.

Rather than… I’m sure it’s the result of my brother turning his hand in front of me.

“It seems that the victorious maiden was caged in a temple until the day of the battle. That’s not exactly what I’m asking for right now… but please don’t go hanging out at nightclubs or anything like that.”

For a while, Melia Rose got pompous without knowing what her brother meant by her words.

But soon I perceive what he’s trying to say, and the laughter spills unexpectedly.

– Brother, you cared…

Pascal was captured by the Knights and remains in detention.

He comes to avenge Meliá Rose… it will be almost nil probable, but still Meliá Rose gets scared.

Pascal, nightclub places like that day.

The incident that night is only known for a very limited number of things.

But the fact that Pascal originally had something dark behind him was so well known to people that it could be said that it was a public secret.

Even if Pascal disappears from the social arena, people whisper to each other with a translation of “Did you see that?”

Melia Rose gets really weird when she thinks about their speculative rumors.

So even now that Pascal is gone, I couldn’t help but be depressed when I think about nightclubs like that.

Perhaps my brother is trying to give Meliá Rose the great nickname “victorious maiden role” to give me a break from social places for a while.

“Well… I was going to refrain from conspicuous behavior in order to become a victorious maiden too”

“I like that. Meliá Rose is good at acting, so I’m not worried.”

I realized I was talking about when I played Villain Warrant Lady for a year, and Melia Rose felt her cheeks get hot with shame.

◇ ◇ ◇

No matter how many places I say I’m off to socialize, I just can’t take my studies off.

Slowly calmed down for a few days, Mary Rose made her way back to school.

But during those few days, there were terrible rumors spreading in the school.

“Master Merriah Rose. Ah! Is the story true that the opponent who won the next Kingdom Festival swordsmanship competition will be Master MerriaRose’s son-in-law!!?

Julia asked me that in one breath as soon as I crawled through the school gate, and Merriah Rose froze for a moment.

“… hold on, Julia. Calm down.”

“You can’t stay calm!! What would you do if you were one hell of a golimacho!? Dear Meliá Rose, do you unexpectedly like Golimaccio?!?

“Oh, already! I told you to calm down!!

Clearly a curious gaze is piercing from the surroundings.

…… I guess that meant that such a twisted rumor actually spread, not just Julia’s early days.

– Damn, why would it…!

It has already been made public that Merriah Rose will be the “victorious maiden” of the year.

From there, I got a tail on a recent proposal rush or something and stuck with rumors… did I end up in this state?

As I managed to forgive Julia, who panicked out loud, I saw a familiar figure coming here on a small run.

“Dear Merriam-Rose, Mr. Julia. Why don’t we talk a little over there?”

So cut out was Lynette not accompanied by a prince next door today.

María Rose, who wanted to escape the scene as soon as possible, nods without a word or two.

“Look, I’m coming, Julia.”

“Wow, Master Merriah Rose is feeding on gorillas…”

Pulling on a tearful Julia to see what the hell she was imagining, Merriah Rose left the spot behind, led by Lynette but still.

Exactly when you have Lynette, the prince’s fiancée, no student comes after you like a paparazzi.

I guess you don’t want to offend Lynette’s later queen.

“Damn, every mess comes down to the next one…”

“Oh, hey, Lady Meliá Rose…”

If I thought I’d have to look at Pascal’s face no more, it would be this noise.

The days of peace still seem far away…… and Meliá Rose sighed.
