Villainess Wants Happy Life's
CHAPTER 77. Punishment

Larietta who saw Duchess Boulois sitting beside her became very surprised and furrowed her brows then quickly changed her expression to flat.

Larietta who did not want to show her weakness to Duchess Boulois turned around to stand in front of the Duchess.

The Boulois Duchess who was very happy to see Larietta standing in front of her was fine talking to herself which made Larietta sharpen her gaze.

“La-Larietta's chat... Y-You're fine... I-Mommy is so happy to see you hi-life better!” the Duchess of Boulois stammered as she lowered her head and clasped her hands tightly.

“Really? Hmmm, shouldn't I thank Madame Duchess? It's all because of Lady Duchess. If Madame Duchess had not kept quiet when I was expelled then I would have been in Prison like everyone else!” satirize Larietta with a gentle smile.

The Duchess who listened to Larietta's spicy words behind her gentle smile felt sadness, regret and a hint of happiness.

Larietta, who doesn't care about anyone in Duchy Boulois, is becoming less and less resistant to being there any longer.

“Stop! Don't put such a face in front of me and make me like a Villain who has neglected his mother who has given birth to him!” larietta said sarcastically.

“You who have chosen a concubine child as your Lady of the Bladder so accept all of this. The mother who had killed her daughter slowly did not deserve to be a mother! You must accept this punishment for the rest of your life!” larietta said with a cold look.

Larietta who saw the Duchess of Boulois shed her tears signifying a very deep provocation decided to leave immediately.

Larietta, who did not expect that she would shed tears after everything she said, reorganized her feelings and stepped forward.

“I have avenged you and I have made those who have done evil to you regret it. I hope you can calm down there and let live your life for me!” larietta says to the original Larietta while removing any remaining tears.

Although Larietta has managed to make a decision for herself in the future but it is very difficult to forget all that was experienced when she became Larietta.

Theodore who saw Larietta who was in a bad condition decided to shut up and stay beside Larietta waiting for Larietta to tell her everything herself.

‘I will always be waiting for you. I won't force you to tell stories because your happiness is all that matters to me!’ thought Theodore was helping Larietta on the horse-drawn carriage.

Larietta, who didn't want to say anything about what happened inside the prison, chose to stare out the window even though there was nothing she could see.

Theodore who could not see Larietta continued to grieve desperately wanting to remove a little of her burden felt extremely helpless.

“Besok is the Conference. Can I take you to the Trial?” asked Theodore with a friendly smile.

Larietta who was feeling very happy because Theodore was very attentive to herself also nodded slowly with a smile.

Theodore who knew that smile was a smile that was forced to feel better until finally the two did not talk to each other until they reached the Temporary Residence of Larietta.

“We have arrived. I'll pick you up in the morning. Good evening. I love you!” said Theodore who increasingly dare to indulge his feelings while kissing the back of Larietta's hand.

Larietta, unable to answer Theodore's love statement, could only lower her head and walk in with Anna walking behind her.

Larietta, who wanted to do nothing and just lay in her bed, refused Anna's advice.

“Nona, did I bring dinner here?” asked Anna with a worried face.

“I'm not hungry, Anna. I'm so tired. I just want to rest. Can you leave me!” larietta said with a very tired body.

“I understand. Have a good rest, Miss!” said Anna who then walked out while closing the room door slowly.

Larietta who was very tired with everything that happened closed her eyes and relaxed her body was drowning in her dreams.

The next morning, Larietta, feeling better after accepting all these facts, prepared to go to the Trial with Theodore.

“Are you ready?” asked Theodore with an anxious face while extending his hand to guide Larietta.

“Of course!” larietta said with confidence.

Larietta, who thought that the trial of Duke Boulois' Crime would be held behind closed doors, was greatly surprised by the large number of ordinary people who had gathered to see the trial.

“Is the Conference held openly?” larietta asked with a surprised expression and wide-open eyes.

“At first this trial wanted to be done in private but there were so many protests that the Emperor decided to open it openly.” Theodore said with a straight forward look.

“Did you do all this, Theo?” ask the curious Larietta.

Theodore who did not answer Larietta's question only gave a gentle smile that made Larietta think as she pleased.

‘Hmmm, as Anna says. Even though I am an ordinary folk and the Princess of a Criminal, the fact that I am an Element Master closes the eyes and mouths of people who want to say bad!’ think Larietta.

Larietta who was sitting beside Theodore realized that everyone's gaze was on her feeling extremely burdened but Theodore who was beside her made things even better.

“Are you nervous? Don'worry. No one will be able to ensnare you in this trial! I risked my name as the Leader of the largest Information Guild in Chillia Kingdom!” said Theodore confidently.

“I'm fine. I trust you. Thank you!” said Larietta who returned Theodore's hand.

As the atmosphere improved, the door to the Eastern Conference opened, showing the arrival of the Duke of Boulois, Duchess of Boulois and Melisha.

Larietta who saw the three enter simultaneously and put in place the accused felt very satisfied.

‘I've been determined to replace the ending of this novel ever since you showed me Melisha's true face and today is proof of my words!’ larietta said in her heart with sharp eyes.

Melisha who saw Larietta sitting next to Theodore in a beautiful dress and sparkling jewelry became very upset and hated Larietta.

‘I will never accept this treatment. How can I have to suffer again while Larietta lives comfortably like that?’ thought Melisha with tightly clenched hands and strong docked teeth.

Larietta who was very happy to see Melisha falling in her trap fell silent when she heard the Emperor's announcement to enter the Trial Room.

“Life His Majesty the Emperor. The Sun the Kingdom of Chillia. May Your Majesty be healthy always and continue to succeed!” everyone said simultaneously while bowing his body politely.

The emperor who saw Larietta in front of him beside Thedore smiled cunningly and carried out his duties.

“Trial starts!” the Emperor said with a loud voice.

The trial that went very smoothly and quickly made everyone who attended the Trial can easily know the end of the Trial.

The Department of Inquiry which has conducted extensive investigations in fact shows strong Evidence and Witnesses.

“This is all slander! This is not true, Your Majesty! Please Your Majesty seek the truth!” shouted Duke Boulois with an anxious face.

Melisha who does not accept only himself who is made a criminal and lives in the Prison while Larietta can live free and full of luxury.

‘I don't accept. I can't accept all this!’ melisha said in her heart with her eyes straight ahead with her hands clenched tightly.

“I am innocent. I don't know anything. Larietta! She is the Legitimate Princess of the Boulois Duke Residence and the person standing here is Larietta not me!” melisha shouted as she pointed towards Larietta which made all eyes on Larietta.

Larietta who could have guessed that Melisha would do that laughed in front of everyone who made Melisha wrinkle her eyebrows.

“I am indeed the Legitimate Princess of the House of Duke Boulois but I have been expelled from that Residence and currently you are the Princess of the House of Duke Boulois despite being born of Infidelity!” satirize Larietta with a small smile.

Duchess Boulois, who had been silent from the beginning of the trial, reacted after Larietta said the reality she wanted to forget.

“What I say is true isn't it, Mr Marquess Rodenherg?” asked Larietta with a gentle smile.

“Of course, Miss Larietta. Officially, Miss Melisha is the Princess of the Boulois Duke's Residence and Miss Larietta is not part of the Duke's Residence. Therefore, Miss Larietta cannot be prosecuted in this Trial!” firmly Marquess Rodenherg with a sturdy body.

Melisha who did not accept Larietta could be free from punishment very easily wanted to always protest again stopped by the Emperor.

“Everything said by Marquess Rodenherg is very clear and nothing needs to be extended. The judge! Have you made your decision?” asked the Emperor with a sharp look.

“Yes, Your Majesty!” said the Judge of the Trial, Count Arachne, who was a retired Senior Judge but was summoned to be the Chief Judge at Theodore's request for notoriety for being fair and wise.

Count Arachne, who had made his decision in the trial, stood firm and read the results of his decision.

“Duke Boulois who has been proven to commit various crimes eliminated his Royal status and the entire fortune will return to the Kingdom!” count Arachne said in a loud voice.

“Duchess Boulois and Miss Melisha involved in crime will get the same punishment!” count Arachne said as he stared at the three main defendants in front of him in turn.

“All Workers and Knights working in Duchy Boulois must pay compensation of one thousand gold coins or be imprisoned for ten years and forbidden to work anywhere in Chillia Kingdom!” count Arachne said firmly.
