I Am The Last Villainess He Has To Kill

Chapter 24 – Bella And Kiehl’s Secret

Summer festival in the city of Daisy.

The sound of people talking and musical instruments woke them up in the morning.

Bella got up with bright eyes and pulled out her luggage bag. She thought she would finally enjoy the lady-like life she had always wanted to have when she possessed Bella’s body.

Thinking so, she then pulled out an overall blue dress. Her skirt, which spread wider toward the hem, reached just above her knees and was laced with white lace around the neck and sleeves.

“Lady, isn’t that the dress you bought last year?”

“Right.”

“It looks like you’re not tall at all wearing that.”

“Shut up.”

On the other hand, for Kiehl, the dress she bought last year has become pretty short, and its long sleeves have become third-quarter sleeves now.

It was a marine look with lines in blue and white.

“Zan! We’re a couple.”

Bella clasped Kiehl’s arms and groaned.

“Looking like this, the Young Lady is a bit like the night sea, and the Young Master is like the bright afternoon sea.”

“Because humans really care about useless things.”

“Did Sir Zanbar dress up like that because he didn’t care?”

“Well, you’re the one who’s really dressed up?”

Iwer seemed to have replaced her clothes with lavish dangling decorations, like a dancer in the desert.

“If it’s a festival, I should have done this! And, I warn you in advance, don’t go looking for me at night!”

Bella clapped her hands and drew attention to the family.

“Come on, everyone, beware of pickpockets! Let’s go!”

‘Daisy’ was a city with a large river in the center.

The river wasn’t that big, but temporary tents were lined up around the river. The delicious smells permeated every street, and various trinkets were being sold.

Her heart was pounding even if she did nothing, probably because she had never really enjoyed a festival in her previous life.

“I’ll get chicken. How about Kiehl?”

“Same as Bella.”

At that, they wandered around eating snacks on the path in the warm sun.

The festivals she’s experienced in her previous life have all been frenziedly noisy enough for police to have to be deployed for safety reasons.

However, the place was not as crowded as Bella had expected. Maybe that’s why she thought there was a place that was a little crowded, so there was interesting entertainment.

“Oh, they draw a picture on the face.”

Bella and Kiehl stood in front of the painter, waiting for their turn with bloated hearts.

“I want to draw a cat.”

“Please draw me a star.”

Kiehl drew a cute black cat on his cheek, and Bella drew a yellow star.

Watching as if she wanted to do it too, Iwer flirted with the painter.

“Please draw a heart.”

“I draw only for children.”

“Hing—!”

Kiehl’s figure with a picture on his face was adorable to look at.

‘Haa. If I had a cell phone, I would have taken a selfie.’

It was then that she suddenly had a thought.

‘Taken… Wouldn’t it be okay?’

With that thought, Bella was fiddling with the cell phone she always carried. She’d have to explain this cell phone too, but because she was so excited, she didn’t hesitate to take Kiehl into the alley.

“Where are you going?”

“Wait there!”

Bella made sure no one wasn’t there, and she quickly turned on her cell phone to see if there was a camera function.

“There is!”

“What?”

“Kiehl, what you see from now on must be kept secret. Okay?”

Kiehl nodded his head.

“Come on, look at this. It’s a mirror.”

Fortunately, the phone looked like a square mirror.

“Is that a mirror?”

“Wait a minute. Be still.”

And, after a few clicks, Bella was satisfied and put her phone back in.

“Kiehl.”

“Yes?”

“What you just saw, you must never say this. This is my secret mirror, all right?”

Kiehl nodded his head.

‘Bella and Kiehl’s secret…’

He was quite pleased with this.

As soon as she took a picture of Kiehl and her and came out of the alley, Iwer grabbed Bella’s hand.

“Lady! Let’s go dance!”

“What dance?”

From where Iwer took her hand and led her, they could hear people’s cheers and music playing. In a slightly open space, when folk music was played, everyone shook their shoulders, and then, clapped their hands.

As Iwer slapped Jenkins on the side, Jenkins let out a short sigh and danced with Iwer into the empty space.

Moments later, one or two people in a circle would come out and dance.

It wasn’t a dance performed by two people, but like ganggangsullae*, everyone drew a circle and danced the same dance.

“Shall we dance, too?”

Even though Kiehl was shy at first, he stood next to Bella and followed her. And so, she became his partner, and when the music suddenly changed, they started running in the opposite direction.

Later, the music changed again, and men and women started dancing in pairs.

It was just a dance that commoners danced lightly, so she was able to imitate it after watching it several times.

“It’s easy.”

They walk around with their arms folded and clap their hands. Surprisingly, Kiehl’s memorized it quickly and followed her promptly as well.

“Kiehl, you are going to sweep the social world later.”

“Really?”

However, Bella repeatedly reversed her direction and collided with Kiehl.

“Bella, you’re wrong again.”

Each time, the two smiled at each other and danced again.

Fortunately, the music ended when Jenkins and Bella, who had started turning in the opposite direction, met.

“Phew, that’s a relief.”

“Hey, I wanted to dance with the Lady.”

When the performance was over, people cheered and clapped their hands. Just as they were about to take a breather, people approached Bella and talked to her.

“Are you two siblings? They don’t look alike, but how can they be equally pretty?”

“Your brother is really cute.”

Each time, Bella smiled and expressed her gratitude. But, Kiehl didn’t seem to be in a good mood.

‘Well. Kiehl didn’t like being active like this.’

He was relatively quiet and reserved, so he never played ball with the village children.

‘For that, he’s good at dancing.’

That was then, they were crowded with the villagers who were about to go out after dancing. As Bella reached out to grab Kiehl’s hand, she bumped into someone.

“I’m sorry!”

The curly hair stood out more than the apology of the person she bumped into.

The rare silver hair, facing Bella, contrasted like an angel and a devil.

“It’s okay.”

“Uh… but, on my wrist…”

Bella lowered her head slightly at her words. Chocolate ice cream was smeared on the white lace of her wrist, probably spilled as the villagers passed by.

‘I wore it for the first time today…’

Then, Kiehl, who was a little away from her, came to Bella and looked at her with worried eyes.

“Are you okay?”

Bella smiled slightly.

‘Of all things, it had to be chocolate ice cream.’

The person bumped into her took a handkerchief from their pocket, and Bella didn’t dare refuse. The fabric is soft, and the embroidery is tight, so it seems like a pretty expensive handkerchief.

“I’ll wash the handkerchief and return it. I’ll be here until the last day of the festival. Where is your house?”

“Ah… I’m going to perform tomorrow. Would you like to come see?”

She gazed at the silver-haired person in front of her.

‘…Oh, maybe not.’

Silver hair was not common in this novel. There was only one silver hair she knew. Bella’s second favorite, Princess Shuria.

“Yeah. What time do you do it?”

“12 o’clock. I’ll do it over there.”

The silver-haired person pointed a little away with his finger.

“What kind of show is this?”

“Um. It’s not really a big deal, I hope you’re looking forward to it, so I’ll keep it a secret.”

‘What kind of nonsense, this…’

Bella laughed a little at him, though she held back her laughter. In any case, if he has a relationship with Princess Shuria.

‘Hopefully, I can see Shuria from afar.’

Even if she is possessed in such a role, she wanted to brag that she spent her childhood with her favorite, and even saw her second favorite.

At that time, the person asked awkwardly as if he had just noticed Kiehl.

“Oh.. is that your brother next to you?”

“Huh.”

“No.”

As Bella said ‘yes,’ but Kiehl’s adamantly replied ‘no.’

“Come with your brother. It might be boring for your brother.”

Bella asked Kiehl as the person left meaningful words.

“What kind of show do you think it would be?”

“….”

But Kiehl didn’t answer.

“What’s wrong?”

He grumbled at Bella in a slightly voluptuous voice.

“This isn’t even our village, so I won’t be your little brother.”

“Yeah, then you’re my older brother.”

Kiehl’s mouth was open and he couldn’t shut it, perhaps as a shock to Bella’s words. He was so cute that she grabbed his chin and shook him.

“Brother, would you like some ice cream?”

As if the tightrope performance was over just in time, Zanbar approached her and frowned.

“What are you doing?”

“Come on. Everyone calls Kiehl older brother because he doesn’t want to be a little brother today.”

“Older brother~!”

Iwer was the first to get excited and rushed to Kiehl.

“You were so excited”

Jenkins spoke quietly to himself and shook his head.

After walking around for a while, he only saw half of the city.

“It’s worth two days.”
“Tomorrow, the last day, is said to be a fireworks display.”

Bella’s eyes lit up with a flash of light.

‘Fireworks!’

Every time the city puts on a fireworks display, she smiles as she recalls the memories of managing crowds without seeing the fireworks.

The next day, she participated in the same festival, though with a different mind.

Bella wore a white frilled blouse underneath. Her skirt went straight down from her chest line to her waist in black and spread all the way from her waist.

“Wow, you look best in black as well.”

Kiehl was the same.

He was wearing a white blouse had a striped vest and a black ribbon around the neck, and a gold brooch was embedded in the ribbon.

“You look better than I thought, too.”

White and black always seems to be the truth. They said clothes were wings, and when Kiehl wore them like this, he looked pretty mature.

“Kiehl, do you want to be an older brother today?”

“…No.”

At her words, he glared at Bella, puffing his cheeks slightly.

‘Still cute, though.’

There’s still a lot to see in the festival. There were performances all over the street, and they played various games that they had not seen yesterday.

“Oh my God, if you get first place in this, you’ll be given a hot spring pass!”

Flyers were distributed on the street, Iwer showed as her eyes twinkled.

“Let’s all go together!”

Kiehl first looked at the flyer and then grabbed Bella’s hand.

“Let’s do this. Let’s go to the hot spring next time.”

It was the first time he suggested doing something after coming to the festival, so Bella was also curious, so she took the flyer.

[ Stick of Love. ]
[ The team that achieves the fastest will get a hot spring gift certificate! ]

It was a game of moving a stick the length of a little finger from mouth to mouth.

A very adult game…
