I Am The Last Villainess He Has To Kill

Chapter 97

Chapter 97 – Do You Keep In Touch Every Day?

Bella was lying on the sofa where Kiehl usually sits, looking at the answers he wrote down.

‘It’s a very good answer.’

She sighed heavily as she saw the sheet of paper was filled with font size 8, out of concern that someone might not be the Crown Princess.

‘I shouldn’t have just handed out a blank paper.’

In particular, it was difficult to understand place names or events in one sentence without background knowledge.

“Cooperating with the research on the Fire Kingdom’s magic explosion case?”

She didn’t even know what a magic explosion case was. ‘Let’s all be close,’ maybe she should have written it down like this. Meanwhile, Kiehl then pointed to the table in front of the sofa as if he knew she would ask.

“The papers pertaining to the case are on Bella’s right side.”

She was not really interested, but she couldn’t help but check. However, the more she looked at it, the more interesting the report was.

An explosion accident caused by the instability of the magical powers of the magicians of the country.

The incident took place, ignoring the wizards’ ages, careers, and everything else. It was like spinning a roulette wheel, and the winning person exploded. In addition, it was said that the cause could not be clearly identified except that the magic was unstable.

“There have been accidents consistently for two hundred years since the first incident…?”

Nevertheless, it was about fourteen years ago that it clearly emerged as a problem. It had been frequent since then.

Rio confidently explained that it was the material he had prepared. It seemed that each case of damage was caused by more magic power being released at once than what the magician could contain.

“…So, it can be said that this problem is the most serious in the Fire Kingdom.”

“By the way…”

As she listened to Rio, Bella flipped through her report and placed it on the table next to the sofa.

“Would the Fire Kingdom want to borrow the help of the empire, towards which might be a flaw in the country?”

The people of the Fire Kingdom that she saw were quite proud. Wizards were a valuable military resource. There was no way they would like their country’s wizard to be dug up for the purpose of ‘research.’

Hearing those words, Kiehl looked at her, who was lying down.

‘I thought she was just memorizing it. She’s sharp.’

The Elysia Empire was a magical powerhouse, but it was centered around the Imperial Family with absolute magical power. Would the Fire Kingdom give up its pride and reach out to Kiehl, who had no magical powers?

When Bella looked at him with a bit of concern, he rather smiled.

“We’re okay. We have Rinne, right?”

“She wants to be a genius wizard who appeared for the first time in a thousand years.”

“Isn’t it five hundred years?”

She felt a strange sense of deja vu.

‘…Wait for a moment.’

From the moment Kiehl came to the demon realm, Bella knew that it was slightly different from the novel, the person who should have been.

Kiehl had no escort like Peter and Laura, who knew nothing, but Rohan took their place. In addition, there was no villain like Shuria Cruelle. Of course, it seemed that the other young ladies were taking care of that role.

On the other hand, there were also characters who should not exist.

‘…Rio and Rinne are people who shouldn’t exist.’

In the original story, Rio died in the demon realm, and after that, Rinne left Kiehl’s side.

There were scenes where he struggled a lot with the loss of his best friend and couldn’t see his loved ones. There was also a scene when he missed those who misunderstood him as a commoner and remembered the days when they traveled.

Furthermore…

‘Even if Rio doesn’t have a sense of existence.’

Rinne becoming a great wizard was a story that only came out of side stories. That, too, after quite some time, was the story of her becoming a great wizard and appearing in front of Kiehl and Rosaanne, who were living happily ever after.

‘Wh, what was going to happen? They both can’t be killed now… There should be a big problem.’

To be honest, it was uncomfortable to see the Fire Kingdom, which was very far from the background of the novel, constantly appearing, but Bella tried to clear her head.

‘It’s okay. Anyway, it would be over as long as the two main characters are happy.’

While Bella struggled in Kiehl’s room, Rosanne was struggling with Myu’s nagging.

“No, Miss. Do you really intend to become the Crown Princess?”

“Haha…:

“That guy Kiehl… no—”

Saying that, Myu corrected her words as she slapped her own lips.

“His Highness Kiehl has no feelings for Miss!”

“Haha .”

Mayu felt frustrated at Rosanne, who was just laughing heartily.

In the meanwhile, Juan Cruelle entered the Imperial Palace under the pretext of escorting them, but he, who had not been seen the whole time, was among them for some reason, listening to their conversation.

“By the way, the question must have been quite difficult, but you passed.”

Rosanne saw this as an opportunity to change the subject and clenched her fists.

“I studied every night!”

“Is that so?”

Myu let out a sigh and shook her head.

She didn’t like the fact that Rosanne went out every night.

As she woke up at dawn and secretly went somewhere, she then asked Myu if Bella woke up, be sure to let her know. And every time Rosanne went out after that, it bothered her that she would put a black box or something in her chest and run at full speed, afraid that something might go out.

‘What is she studying…’

A few times, she had followed Rosanne. After she gave the black thing to Kiehl, he would climb up a tree and do something by himself while she was just talking to Rio.

At first, Myu thought Rosanne was doing something important under the direction of the Prince. Though at some point, she saw Kiehl going away and only Rio scratching the back of his head in embarrassment.

— “Sorry, something urgent happened today…”

— “It’s okay. He’s originally the Crown Prince.”

Someone went out for him every night, but the Prince didn’t even come out after calling…

Myu really didn’t like Kiehl more and more.

Rather, she thought that the person who would suit to be Rosanne’s partner was Juan Cruelle, who was right next to her now. She thought it was quite gentlemanly of him to listen to her as she told him what answer she had written down.

“You are very thoughtful, too.”

“That’s the first time I’ve heard such a compliment.”

“Everyone probably doesn’t know Miss’ true value.”

* * *

Bella thought that the grown-up Kiehl was more ferocious and tenacious than she thought.

He really didn’t let her go until she memorized it all.

As she trudged along, Jenkins sprinted as soon as he saw her, he seemed to have been looking for her for so long.

“Miss! Where have you been all day?!”

“What’s wrong?”

What was wrong? Because he was her assistant, of course, he was looking for her, why was she asking him what was wrong?

Jenkins stared blankly at Bella, who shot at him, speechless.

“From the second contest onwards, they moved the rooms, but you don’t even know where it is.”

“…Okay. Guide me.”

“Tomorrow, based on the answers you gave in the first competition, there will be a discussion among the lady. Please practice beforehand.”

Bella crumpled the paper she was holding in her hand.

‘I’ve memorized it so far…’

And the newly assigned room was on a different level from where she had been with Rosanne.

“Ah… This is why everyone wanted to be in the Main Palace.”

The room was filled with expensive furniture and connected to the servants’ rooms separately.

“If you think about it here, it’s also a separate building.”

“Miss! Sleep with me today!”

“Me, too!”

Even though it wasn’t as good as the room she stayed in at Duchy Cruelle, it was enough for distinguished guests to rest.

Still, Bella couldn’t rest.

‘Why am I so anxious? I’ll have to take a look at the notes I organized.’

She couldn’t turn on her cell phone and organize the novel again. It’d been a little over a month since she sent Zanbar to the mansion.

Thinking he had already arrived, she pulled out the summoning circle and tried to radio him.

“Zanbar.”

However, when there was no answer, she glared at Jenkins with an annoyed voice.

“Hey, did you teach him how to radio again before sending him off?”

“Yes. He radioed me yesterday as well.”

Bella frowned and looked Jenkins up and down.

‘What is it? Do they keep in touch every day?’

When she didn’t say anything with suspicious eyes, Jenkins answered first.

“Looks like he got a little lost on his way to the mansion.”

She let out a sigh.

“So that’s why I said I would follow him.”

“Where is he? When will he arrive?”

Noticing Bella’s expression, he pulled out a map from somewhere and spread it out in front of her before pointing at the center of a large imperial map.

“This is the capital.”

Then, he pointed his finger at the end of the empire.

“That’s our mansion.”

“Huh.”

“I don’t know for sure, but maybe Sir Zanbar…”

Bella was looking between the capital and the mansion. Jenkins snapped his fingers, and he pointed to the opposite end of the road from the Capital to the mansion.

“I think he is here.”

“…What?”

“Wouldn’t he be here?”

“…Are you crazy? No, how the hell does he go the opposite way?”

At that, Jenkins cleared his throat.

“I gave him a compass… but I think he went there thinking it was in the south.”

Bella overturned the table upon which the map lay.

“He’s not doing anything right!”

She managed to calm her anxiety by slapping Jenkins on the back.

“Why are you hitting me?”

“Please hit me, too!”

Wherever Iwer got it, she brought a whip and held it out to Bella.
