Given That I've Become a Villainess, I'd Like to Live Freely

The knights were on their way to Lady Rose and us missing, and Clifford asked us to search for them.

The knight was able to take me to the Duke of Winsley's house.

"Allen!!!!

"Sir!... sorry. And while I'm following you, you're putting Rosé in danger."

"No, it's not your fault. Allen, I'm glad you're okay.... is Rose safe?

"Yes, sir..."

I will tell Mr. Clifford what I saw and heard in the mansion where I was caught. [M]

"... is the auction date tomorrow?... Captain."

"Yes, Master Clifford."

"You know who the dark auction mastermind is? Let's get to work. Go to my pretty Rosé to help Elle, and the kids that are being caught.

"Yes! I'm in awe.

"Allen, you must be tired of running all the way here. You should rest a little. Leave the rest to us. Thanks, Allen.

That's all Mr. Clifford said, he left this room with someone called the captain. I couldn't move off the soft couch without listening to my body, thinking I still had to. [M] My eyelids grew heavier and I let go of consciousness at some point.

Kata.

When I felt my gaze and opened my eyes, there was a Yumerian sitting on the couch with his father nearby.

"Huh!! Ma'am... and Father."

I'm surprised you have a wife and father. I try to move my body but it's heavy and I can't move it well.

"Allen, you can stay put. Did you get some rest? You've been running all the way from that mansion over there, haven't you? Are you okay?"

"Yes, no! About me! Ma'am, I'm so sorry.

"It's fine. Besides, Rose's been caught, but she's safe, right? I have you by my side, Elle, and I'm fixing it tomorrow, so I'll be fine.

"... yes."

Until earlier, I was careful not to cause harm to Master Rosé, and next time I was desperate to get out safely and call for help so I wouldn't find out, so I was driving him to the corner of my head, but I know my incompetence when I see my husband and wife in front of me again.

If I hadn't been incompetent, I wouldn't have gotten Rosé into such a dangerous situation.

"Yes, don't blame yourself. Albert, I asked for the rest.

"Yes, ma'am.... thank you.

That's what I said. My wife stroked my head and left the room. My father, who was holding back behind his wife, came to my side.

"Allen, you've come this far well.

That's what he says and strokes my head, but I'm not happy about anything.

"... I'm incompetent. Father... well, I couldn't do anything. I can't believe I'm here right now."

"You're still young. And this is my mistake. We should have escorted him, not just his squire. Allen, I'm sorry... Master Rose will be saved by Master Clifford and the knights, and you won't be convinced. Allen, if you regret today, be strong enough to protect Master Rosé besides the butler's job.

Yes, Father...

"Tomorrow we'll all pick up Master Rose with Master Clifford.
