Wicked Woman!!
Episode 9
Mela... what?”
Belleck, who had been silent for a while with a pensive face, then laughed as if he had concluded that my words were a joke.
“You're getting more and more tricks that make me angry. Not funny if you're joking.”
“I'm not kidding.”
“Deborah, you're not just saying shit out of your mouth. Declare to abandon the duty of aristocratic immortality by itself. Are you crazy, or are you really going to the convent?”
“…….”
When the one to avoid came out of his mouth, that is, the word monastery was at the end of the sentence, his heart pounding.
“Be careful what you say. That means stop embarrassing the family.”
The followers came behind Belleck, who was exuding life and roaring loudly, and he stepped back, kicking his tongue.
“I'll talk to you later.”
“Nothing I want to say.”
I gave an answer by wringing my trembling hand.
“Even if you don't want to, you will. And seriously, as a big brother, I advise you to let go of Pilaf Montes.”
“…….”
“Louis Gazelle, you need to be ready. It's a rich family, and you'll thank me later.”
Belleck patted me lightly on the shoulder with a smile during the day.
“Hasn't it been past your age to only be able to have what you want?”
After he said what he wanted to say, he walked away with quick steps.
‘Biara ....’.
I stood there for a while, massaging the temples that were starting to throb.
***
After the war of words with Belleck, I panicked for some time.
Impossible, Belleck Seymour will intervene and bring a fiancee.
It was a very serious situation in the family because the power of speaking and the influence of Belleck could not be compared to me, a princess.
‘I'll turn around.’
Deborah is 19 this year.
This fall, if I make my debut, I'll get married officially, so if I continue like this, I have no choice but to marry Thompson gazelle…….
“You.”
I can't believe there's a terrible setting hidden inside the novel.
That's why Deborah is torturing the heroine even more.
There was no way to stand out as he continued to point towards Deborah, whose arrogance swept through the sky, with the Gazelle family.
The prime minister, who had long observed the Montes family, was hanged on fallen family girls, whom he had never heard of before.
Every time I see Miya, I get very angry.
“Ahhhh!”
I'm angry too.
I don't even want to date because I'm angered by a fool like Kim Han-joon, but I can't believe I'm going to marry a perverted bully.
It's bullshit.
‘Why can you say that so subtly?’
Feeling frustrated and annoyed, I hit the soft pillow like a sandbag.
I think I can avoid going to the convent because I won't do anything bad to the heroine, and then I'll be able to move on with my life like this.
“Wait, you there.”
I lay face down with the bonfire, jumped to my feet and called for the waiter who was carrying the tea.
“Yes. Princess.”
The waiter, who had put down the tray, quickly kowtowed with a tired face like a white crab.
“What happens when a noble family, young lady, refuses to marry? I went crazy because suddenly I was curious.”
The servant's skin grew pale as I pulled my hair. Crazy people are usually more scary than bad people.
“Ma, forgive me, but never any such problem..”.
“Try imagination.”
“If not married.....”.
What I asked the waiter was hopeless.
If I am not married, I will naturally be stripped of the title for not having a surname to inherit, and I will have to be expelled from the nobility and go to the monastery.
What is the difference from the original ending? ‘
Was my fate originally set for a monastery?
Now I understand why Belleck was so taken aback by my statement not to marry.
‘It wasn't even in a word.’
Mixed up, I pressed the waiter again with the feeling of catching a straw.
“Any. Why don't you refuse to marry? You can encourage someone you don't want to marry in your family.”
It was a place where people lived, but there were no exceptions.
“Isn't there an amazing case? I'm just curious. I can't sleep when I'm curious. If you can't sleep, will you take responsibility?”
I constantly question that crazy logic.
I think something will come out if I let it go.
I know how well the servants are familiar with social gossip thanks to the original novel. The nobles are no less than a hive of rumors.
It was one of their fun hobbies to gather around social gossip during breaks.
“Think until you find the answer.”
As he stared intently into my eyes, which he would never let go of until he replied, the maid quickly opened her mouth while sweating and running her brain.
“Ah! There was a noble, Miss who fell in love with an ordinary soldier and ran away from him.”
“Then?”
“The problem was solved because the lady was crowned. She is a sixth-grade witch. I heard her husband, the leader of the mercenary corps, made a big contribution and occupied the territory of another country.”
“You will get the title by establishing the military?”
“Iya.”
Oh~.
If I want to live my own way, I can go to war and take territory to rule.
Shit, it's easy to say.
I can't handle Mana, let alone level six….
A sliver of memory related to that nickname flashed through my mind, floundering from the deeper heights of despair.
‘There are cases where I do not have to go to war, but have earned the title with money!’
What if I buy the title myself and have a family?
I don't have to marry Thompson or anything like that.
I'm a housekeeper, who would dare say marry.
“If I buy a title, I will be free from that habit, right?”
The servant hesitated to answer my words.
“Yes, but even the lowest baron titles are very expensive.”
No matter how expensive it was, it was a much more likely story than going to war.
“How much is it?”
“I don't know that. Forgive me.”
It's not common to buy a title, and I can't even know the specifics.
“Out. I'm sleepy.”
I let the frightened maid out of the room.
Then I jumped into bed.
“Let's investigate my property situation first.”
***
“Wow...
There's a lot of it. What dragon is that?
Looking at the many jewelry boxes of Deborah and the amount of jewelry in them, I had no choice but to dodge.
Deborah has as much jewelry as the dowry of most families.
How fancy are you? Mercifully.
Thanks to the stack of gems in my hands, I was able to restore stability.
The jewel in the dress was huge.
If the government creates illicit funds while pressuring Seymour's infrastructure as much as possible, the government may be able to buy the title.
The problem is time.
‘Considering the age of marriage, is it not possible to postpone marriage for two to three years?’
On average, nobles here marry between the ages of 19 and 22.
The fortunate age of marriage has been delayed two years from the foundation's early days as more and more young people complete advanced courses at the Academy.
‘Fortunately, I am currently attending the academy.’
There is no problem in theory if I postpone the marriage, and save up temporarily and to buy the title…….
“He won't turn the housekeeper into Belleck before I buy that title, right?”
I immediately shook my head.
Duke Seymour exerted a great influence on the lawn mower because he was the only seventh-grade mage in the empire.
Moreover, the youngest, Enrique Seymour, was much younger, so he would not hand over the post that quickly.
However, there may be one variable. The wisest way is to save money as quickly as possible and buy his title.
‘Money is everywhere.’
There was a surara knock, when I was trying to figure out how to collect gold coins.
Duke's outside the workspace door.
“Are you inside?”
I immediately put my note into the drawer and got up from my chair.
“Do I disturb you learn....”.
Duke looked at me with very strange eyes and said so.
Deborah rarely used the library, so her reaction became a little confused.
“It's okay. I'll have them prepare tea and drinks.”
“Iya.”
He sat opposite Duke in the living room next to the study.
He was silent and I couldn't say anything, so there was a heavy silence in the room.
‘Strangling.’
I moved my hand, then put the sugar in the tea and opened my mouth.
“I'll give you a letter when you go.”
Hearing my words, Duke let out a short sigh.
“I'm not here to receive mail today.”
So, ti, there's no way she's gonna tell me to get married? I was nervous and waiting for the next word.
“Deborah. That's the poem you read. Can you read it again?”
The Duke's words were completely unexpected.
“I'll read it to you whenever the white flowers are in full bloom and snow falls heavily.”
I made my intention to stay in the corner of Seymour's house for a long time.
But the Duke simply sipped the tea with an indifferent look.
“As expected, it is not easy.”
I took a snack with my tongue in my mouth.
“By the way, he was a prolific poet, so it must have been hard to find a poem in the letter, but you managed to find it. The title of the poem was not even written on the letter, so it should have taken a long time. “
Maybe it didn't take as long as Duke thought.
In Korea, people practice the art of understanding poetry as well as for college entrance exams.
There's no way to explain this.
“I'm lucky.”
“Lucky. You seem to be careful with what you say and do these days, but excessive politeness is not good, Deborah. It is the same as refusing. “
“…….”
“I mean what you want. I felt the truth too late when you said you wanted to be the liaison between me and Marien. I'm not trying to test you, so please say anything.”
I was told to say what I wanted very seriously, but I felt stupid for continuing to refuse.
I was nervous because I never asked for anything in my life.
I wet my dry lips.
“Then..”.
Don't forget the likes and comments yaa~~^o^
