A Painting of the Villainess as a Young Lady

Chapter 101

“I can’t believe you’re getting angry about something as little as this. You’re quite immature, Sir.”

“W-Why are you talking to me like that! Ah. Hey, no way— Sister, do you also like that punk Aldin more than you like me? Seriously? For real?”

“......”

When Violet didn’t answer, Cairn became so sad that he couldn’t even get mad about it. This was his own karma.

“Violet, why don’t you go to the exhibition tomorrow? Sir Aldin said that he has time, after all.”

“Brother, are you that guy Aldin’s friend? Why do you seem so buddy-buddy with him, huh?”

“What kind of exhibition will it be?”

“It’s an exhibition at the national gallery. In commemoration of the crown prince’s birthday banquet, anyone can attend as long as they pay a small admission fee.”Rread latest chapters at wuxiahere.com

“Hello? Am I not here? Excuuuuse me?”

“That doesn’t sound bad.”

“Right? Then, I’ll let him know and prepare everything.”

“You seem to have gotten close to him.”

“There’s no harm in making friends with the next knight commander of the imperial guard. Of course, it’s for your sake as well.”

Roen smiled casually, but seeing this, Violet narrowed her eyes while trying to gauge just how much sincerity there actually was in his expression.

Meanwhile, as Cairn was still unable to participate in the conversation, he stomped angrily.

“Seriously! Why does it seem like you guys trust that punk more than me!”

“Are you asking because you really don’t know?”

“You’re asking because you don’t know, really?”

Roen and Violet’s voices overlapped. Violet’s expression became distorted as she felt displeased, while Roen slightly pressed his lips together.

Violet marveled at the thick iron plate that her younger brother had placed over his face.

“You’ve become quite busy these days, Milady.”

“It can’t be helped. Under normal circumstances, I’d be busier than I already am right now.”

“Hiing... Of course, since it’s you, Milady...”

Marie was sulking because she had less and less time to chat with Violet. Still, Violet just chuckled quietly as she left her hair in Mary’s care.

Mary was improving by the day and was now skilled enough in this task. Violet had a hunch that this little girl had a gift for being a beautician.

“Why don’t you learn hairstyling in earnest while I’m away?”

“Huh? You don’t like your hair right now, Milady?”

A small conversation ensued.

Violet laughed contentedly, making up her mind that she would indeed send Mary to a famous hair salon so that she could learn.

Finding talent was always fun.

“As expected! Milady always looks so good in everything. I might really have a crush on you!”

“Really? Then Mary, what do you say to getting married, you and me?”

“Goodness me. You’re good at telling jokes.”

Mary acted shy as she laughed at Violet’s words, which she threw in half-jokingly. At the sight of the cute girl who she thought of as a younger sister, Violet laughed.

For this outing, Violet chose to wear pants.

It was still a common notion that pants were for the exclusive use of men. Many people felt awkward seeing women wearing pants outside the sport or hobby of horseback riding.

However, with her silver hair tied up in a ponytail, as Violet was now wearing a coat and white pants, nobody could deny that she looked absolutely wonderful.
