The Villainess Will Leave Without Any Regrets

at a tragic love.”

Cade laughed.

“This time, you will have to succeed, unlike before.
It’s better not to rely too much on magical powers.”

“……I will keep that in mind.”

Lyla shook her head.
It was a complete declaration of defeat.

It had been a week since Arsene’s proposal to the temple arrived in Amerigo.
Abella had recovered her health quite a bit in the meantime.
She had come to the point where she no longer made people worry.

“Miss Abella.”

Louisa called Abella with an awkward face.
As she went down to the first floor, she had received a letter from the butler sent for Abella.
But everywhere she looked, it had an ominous aura.
Gold leaf in a white envelope.

Plus, it was from the temple.

Abella raised her eyebrows and received the letter.

“Thank you, Louisa.”

In the marriage proposal that came in Arsene’s name, the brand of the temple was stamped on it.

Abella’s heart tumbled to the edge of hell.
The letter discussed their engagement and ordered the marriage of Abella and Arsene.

Judging from the fact that the name of the high priest was written on it, these were shackles.

Abella could not refuse the temple’s orders.

Arsene had pinpointed her weakness.
She was born on the day of Skellus, and it was thanks to the protection of the temple that she lived until now.

If the temple didn’t protect Abella, she might have been devoured by the curse and gone crazy.

So Abella couldn’t go against the temple.

Her throat was parched.

Abella set down the proposal letter with a pale face.
Louisa, who was looking at her, opened her mouth that had been shut.

“I haven’t been here in a while, Miss Abella.”

“That’s right.” Abella answered in a hoarse voice.

“But you had been in Timur for a long time.
Timur is a conservative group, but they were particularly harsh on Miss Abella.”

“……Is that so?”

“Yes.
I agree with Enoch.
Miss Abella, if you wish, please go to Clemington.
This is a place where only monsters who won’t stop killing people live.
It is full of beasts whose eyes twinkle in the fog.”

In fact, from Louisa’s point of view, she should be displeased with Abella, whom Enoch liked.
However, after watching her for several days, Abella was a very pitiful person.
Rather, she wanted to protect Abella.

As Enoch said, if Abella went to Clemington, she would have a slightly better life than she had now.
Louisa thought it was better for Abella to go to Clemington, regardless of Enoch.

“But, my roots are in Timur.”

“What…”

“I mean, I can’t break my promise to Carlo, Louisa.”

“If it’s a promise…”

“I have decided to protect Simon until he takes over the mansion and becomes a great head.”

“But……!”

“I don’t know if I can find someone to replace me…”

Abella shook her head.

“I cannot betray Carlo.
He is my only younger brother.”

Besides, he was a child who always stood by Abella’s side, as no one approached her.

Noble children of the same age were talking about the curse passing on Carlo, but Carlo didn’t budge.
Like the current Simon did, he spoke with his fern-like hands outstretched.

‘I will protect Abella.
Don’t worry!’

Oftentimes, Carlo also struggled with the coercion of the adults, but he did his best to protect Abella.
Even at that young age.

The smile on his face as he looked back at Abella still remained in her heart.

If it wasn’t for Carlo, she couldn’t leave.
Abella’s lips drew a curve.
“Thank you for the suggestion though, Louisa.”

Louisa touched her forehead.
“Are you going to get married?”

“I don’t know yet.”

“I wish you won’t.
This is my personal wish.
And this.” Louisa put the file folder down on her desk.

“This is a request for reimbursement to Count Gilmus.
Please check and tell us what you need to correct.”

“Thank you for your effort.”

Abella went through the papers.
Her job was her job, and Amerigo was  Amerigo.

Abella continued to drive the rats out for Amerigo.

After driving out the big rat named Count Gilmus, the next one was Chloe.
Just having Chloe change her last name would suffice.
Even with that, she wouldn’t be able to exercise her right to Amerigo.

After confirming the contents, Abella stamped the seal of the head at the end.

She was still the temporary head of Amerigo.
