The Villain’s Sister Suffers Today

Chapter 78



Episode 78.

Damn it. I must be really cursed. No, at this point, I didn’t think this was cursed. This was a really screwed-up situation.

‘How on earth?’

Since it was pointless, I didn’t resist the man taking off my wig with a very polite touch. As the brown wig fell to the floor, my red hair fluttered down the shoulders.

“What? It’s really the Princess, did we really find the Princess?”

“That red hair! She’s really the Princess!”

“We found her!”

The place became noisy in an instant. I looked down at the wig on the floor, with some sort of cheering coming from behind me in one ear.

I was confused.

‘How could they catch me this fast?’

It was not so hard to guess who they were.

‘The Dark Knight’s….’

I glanced back. Everywhere my gaze turned, they were always there, uniformly dressed in black, whether they intended to increase the solidarity of the group or not. There were them everywhere.

“As soon as I ran away, I got caught like this?’

At the same time, it was absurd and amazing. I’ve never even thought of such a futile idea.

Still holding my arm, the opponent opened his mouth.

“Please go back. We’ll take you safely to the mansion.”

“Let me ask you one thing.”

“…….”

“When did you know I had sneaked out of the mansion?”

The man did not answer. All right, that’s the way it is anyway.

“There’s no answer, so let me ask you one more question. I heard earlier that you’re checking all the carriages out of town, but are you doing such an inefficient thing other than this town?”

The man remained silent again this time. I pushed him.

“Hey, look at me, I got caught. We’re going back to the mansion, no matter what. Now that you’re done with your duty, I’m trying to solve some minor questions, but can’t you just help me by answering this?”

“I’m sorry.”

One word that finally came out but that was not the answer I wanted at all.

I breathed an exaggerated sigh as if I couldn’t help it.

“Well……”

“……..”

“You called me a rat just a little while ago……and held my arm so hard that it felt hurt a little……… I didn’t want to tell Ash, but I’ll just tell him if this happens.”

It’s a lethal move, a threat. I said this and glanced at my opponent. I’m sure all the hands that were just holding my arm were flinching.

Surprisingly, however, there was no consistent desired answer.

“……I’m so sorry.”

‘He’s a strong enemy.’

This doesn’t work? I was a little embarrassed and forgot to make a face and looked at my opponent.

‘I can’t help it.’

I gave up and stopped talking. I stopped acting with facial expressions and gestures.

‘It’s a shame that I didn’t get anything, but….’

I put my hand in my arms.

In any case, it’s impossible to run away. This was my last shot. A last-ditch struggle, desperate not to face the worst case. So even if my end was to be caught, it won’t happen now. At least until I’ve tried everything I can.

“Get in the carriage, Princess. We’re gonna have to…….”

The man hesitated to speak. The gaze rested on my hand, which was about to take something out of the arms.

“Even if you take out a weapon, it would be useless.”

Instead of correcting my opponent’s misunderstanding that I didn’t know how he could think like that, I took out the bead without saying anything and broke it.

When I turned back the day, the place I opened my eyes was an inn in the Capital.

As soon as I checked the place, I flung myself into the bed. My legs gave me the strength to stand on.

‘I can’t believe I’m wearing a time bead like this.’

I looked down and looked at my empty hand.

At the same time, my outfit caught my eye. I was still in a maid uniform before changing my clothes and wearing a wig.

It’s not important right now. I wrapped my head with my empty hand.

“Think, let’s think.’

Before turning back the time with bead, the Dark Knights group who I had encountered in a village outside the capital were already moving to catch me, knowing that I had disappeared.

They were Ash’s people. Of course, they only listen to Ash’s orders.

Which meant that Ash had learned about my disappearance before the Dark Knights had found me.

‘How?’

How come so soon? It was too soon to say that the news came from the mansion.

As soon as I got out of the mansion today, I got caught because of my bad luck.

It took only a day or so to make my disappearance known.

The second question was how fast the precursors can fly.

‘How could such precursors go to Ash place, in the first place?’

The precursors were just trained pigeons.

It was absurd to send the precursors which couldn’t be able to detect Ash’s position like GPS in real-time to inform Ash while Ash moving to the south

In common sense, Ash should have known my disappearance only after arriving in the South if they sent a precursor.

‘…….but now that common sense is broken.’

I raised my gaze. The door of the inn room, which had been tightly closed, came into view.

What should I do now? I stared blankly at the door and soon got up.

My mouth closed tightly.

‘What could I do?’

I quickly searched my luggage bag, covered myself with a wig, took off the maid’s uniform and wore a man’s uniform. Still, after trying it once, I changed faster than before.

‘For now, let’s move.’

When exactly did Ash hear of my disappearance?

Maybe early tonight….. I think it will be at dawn or tomorrow early morning.

I easily got out of the capital without any interruption.

The same situation happened when I arrived at the next village after sunset. At that time, there were no people blocking the carriage at the entrance.

I meant that it was after at least that the Dark Knights had orders to catch me.

‘So it seems I’m safe for at least a few hours from now on.’

It’s not important for now, how Ash knew I had disappeared so quickly. The only thing that matters was, whatever the situation, I just ran away as best I could.

I picked up a bag with a crumpled maid’s uniform. It was also a waste of time to call in employees, give him money and ask him to take care of it.

‘Let’s go anywhere. If it doesn’t work, I can hire two horsemen to run the carriage all night, and move anyway.’

Urging myself to move my feet hurriedly, I tried to turn the doorknob around to leave the room, but I hesitated.

‘Ash is……’

How did he feel?

When he heard the news that I’m gone and ran away.

Did he feel betrayed? Did he angry? Just a few days ago, he told me it was just us two, did he think that it was ridiculous that I’m leaving as if taking a chance like this?

Did he worry about me?

“……”

It was a useless sentiment. Really useless, I bit my lip and opened the door.

Yrmi rolled for decades in an obscure alley.

However, he still has doubts about this assessment ~~ collected in some for the organization and did errands for 5 years.

Then the territory suddenly flipped over. The head of the organization died overnight, and a teenager, younger than him, took the place.

‘At first, I thought it was only a ridiculous rumour.’

He wondered if the seniors were making fun of him in unison. He even snorted and said how could a person, who was 5 years younger than him, take the organization down.

‘But it was real.’

The master of the territory has actually changed.

Originally, the former leader of the organization, who had been leading the territory for more than ten years, said that he was not able to resist the boy who looked like a doll that appeared out of nowhere and was stabbed by a sword.

‘I guess he was behind in 2 seconds in the fight.’

After killing the leader, the boy cut all the meat out of the influential figure who followed the former leader.

The organization fell flat at the boy’s feet.

Of course, it was the same with Yrmi.

‘It’s been about three years already.’

Time was such a useless thing. It’s been three years since he saw a senior who was rebelling against a younger man saying that he couldn’t bow his head down in front of someone younger than him.

‘Ah……’

Yrmi thought with his dim eyes.

‘Is it my turn now to be trimmed like that?’

After the organization took on a new leader, Yrmi took on a pretty heavy-duty thanks to the sensible wits he showed in the process…

It was to watch the leader’s sister, Princess Lydia Widgreen, from afar.

His duty smells like a crime, but, in a good word, his duty is to protect her personal life.

Yrmi’s duty was limited, he only kept an eye on her when she went out of the mansion. For some danger around her, or whether there was a presumptuous bastard approaching her, or when she faced any difficulty.

He used to pay close attention to these things, and sometimes he would appear in private when he had to take action.

“Well…”

Yrmi belatedly looked back on his work.

Is that a crime?

This and that were the things that happened without the knowledge of the person concerned. In a way, is it a crime if it’s wrapped up only for good purposes?

‘Anyway.’

Anyway, even if it’s a crime, he still did his best.

Relatively recently, he even caught a suicide seeker person who shot an arrow at a princess and ran away from the hunting ground.

He did my best. He could be confident about that. Yrmi remembered that his colleague, who was taking turns, was saying, “What are you so passionate about?”

He did.

He did, but something happened.

The princess disappeared.
