I'll Make It a Bad Ending Like a Villain

Chapter 152

“Now your father has gone to see His Majesty the Emperor. Wait a bit. I’m going to try my hand at it.”

Amy’s face quickly hardened and she shouted angrily.

“What the hell is your Royal Highness doing? Do you intend to turn our Duke Debussy into an enemy?!”

Filina closed her mouth hastily.

“Mother, take care of yourself. There are many ears to hear.”

At Philina’s low whisper, Amy nodded reluctantly.

Then Philina lowered her hand and gently raised her mouth.

“I’m fine. Don’t worry too much.”

She was really fine.

I could have paid for any amount of this embarrassment.

In his first life, he had already been tortured and executed in all kinds of ways, just like in the original.

So the circumstances didn’t cause any pain to Filina.

“…… What the hell is going on?”

However, I guess it wasn’t in the family’s eyes.

No matter how much she said she was fine, Amy’s expression couldn’t relax.

“Miss…, I secretly brought this to you. They said they couldn’t even let food in here…”

Glancing at the guard of the prison, Laura pulled a loaf of bread from the sleeve of her robe.

Philina received it through the cold iron bars.

“Even if you don’t have a good appetite, eat well. That’s not how you’re going to hold out.”

Amy said with a deep sigh.

Filina stared silently at the bread in her hand and then looked up. Laura was still staring at her with tears in her eyes.

Philina said, laughing helplessly.

“Thank you, Laura.”

Thank you so much for standing by my side so far.

Filina swallowed the words she couldn’t get out.

“…… Philina.”

Enoch took a step closer and bowed his head.

“I’m sorry……. Even though I was right next to you, I couldn’t save you……”

He blurted out in a guilty voice and bit his bottom lip hard. His clenched fists were twitching small.

Philina reached out and lifted the tip of Enoch’s chin slightly.

“Keep your head up, Enoch.”

His eyes, which followed her beckoning, looked at Philina pathetically. The corners of his red, bloodshot eyes showed his dejected feelings.

Philina pursed her lips in a pale voice.

“You don’t have to be sorry. It’s all self-inflicted. On the contrary, if you had been in that situation, it would have been irreversible. So you don’t have to feel guilty.”

In spite of her clear voice, Enoch only faced Philina with a heavy face. The shady look on his face hurt his heart.

Philina added with a pretty smile.

“Enoch, you will always be my best escort. If there’s a next life, I won’t hesitate to choose you.”

Enoch stared at her with slightly widened eyes. Looking at him, Filina asked affectionately.

“Will you still be my escort then?”

At her words, Enoch nodded, struggling to hold back his tears.

“Absolutely. Philina.”

“…….”

“I will take up my sword only for you. Not only in this life, but in the next, and in the next, and in the next life, I will protect you for the rest of my life.”

At the sound of his voice, Philina raised her lips gently.

“yes, that’s it.”

It seemed that he could now let Enoch go.

Filina turned her head to look at Bruno.

“…… My sister.”

A worried voice rang in his ears. At the same time, I remembered Ariel, who had been neglected and living alone.

And Bruno’s mother, who took care of her at the Duchess of Debussy.

Philina, who had met Bruno’s gaze straight, opened her mouth.

“Bruno.”

“Yes, sister.”

“Wouldn’t it be nice to show a little more authenticity to your family?”

At her words, Bruno narrowed his brows as if he didn’t understand. Seeing him, Filina spoke again.

“It means you don’t have to try too hard to be a family. Even if you don’t try, you’re already a Duke of Debussy.”

“…… Does that mean you’re going to accept me as part of your family?”

Bruno muttered to himself through his reddened eyes. Filina smiled softly.

“I’ll admit something. It’s already a family.”

Bruno bit his lip as if he was about to cry.

Perhaps, the reason he neglected Ariel was because he couldn’t afford to take care of her.

Like Ariel, he was nervous that he might be kicked out of the Duchess of Debussy.

It occurred to him that if he had a little more time, he might go find Ariel himself.

Philina shifted her gaze to Amy, who was next to her.

“Go back to the mansion. As my mother can see, the environment here is not very good.”

The visit to her family made Philina’s heart ache. So I had to suppress my emotions.

If I burst into tears right now, I would give up everything.

Even his own final purpose…….

Amy still seemed to have a lot to say to Philina, but she had to keep her mouth shut when the second interviewer appeared shortly after.

“Why is the princess here…”

Filina muttered in surprise. The person who came to visit her was none other than Empress Hestia.

“As soon as I heard the news, I came right away. Debussy Young.”

She looked at Philina with a sad face.

Unable to hide their bewilderment at the sudden visit of the princess, the family was forced to leave a greeting for Filina and then turn away.

“I was so surprised to hear that Debussy had gone to prison.”

Hestia just stared at Philina with a worried expression.

“It’s my fault. You dared to insult His Highness the Crown Prince in front of all the people……”

At Philina’s words, she opened her mouth with a firm face.

“I don’t think Debussy would have said anything to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for no reason.”

It was a surprising statement.

Philina looked at her with wide-eyed eyes, and Hestia blurted out with a determined expression.

“There’s a lot of back-and-forth between the people right now. And most of it is wrapped around Debussy.”

Philina looked at Hestia in surprise.

It was totally unexpected.

Suddenly, he remembered the gaze he had seen when he was being led away by the Imperial Knights.

The prince’s prestige had already hit rock bottom, and he sent me to prison in front of the people.

In fact, the whole process was nothing more than Philina’s plan.

I thought this was the only way to make the final ending.

However, the fact that the people of Japan surrounded me was unexpected.

“Debussy, did you ever say this to me?”

Hestia said, raising her mouth.

“If I had stood firm as a princess, Debussy would have been willing to help me…”

Her beautiful gold eyes glistened. It was a lively face I had never seen before.

“I’m going to give it a try. Maybe it’s the perfect time to turn the public’s attention.”

Hestia’s voice went deep.

She had inherited all the Templars who had previously guarded the prison. Therefore, the only people who were here now were Hestia’s maid, her escort, and Philina.

Philina, who had been staring at Hestia intently, untied the necklace around her neck and held it out to her.

“What is this?”

Hestia asked with a puzzled face, and Filina replied with a small smile.

“It’s a dragon crystal stone. It’s a thing that has the power of divine power. This will protect you.”

If Hestia tried to change the story, the world would treat her as a hindrance. However, if there is a dragon crystal stone, it can be protected from benevolent divine powers.

Originally, I was going to give it to Cecilia, but I had a different idea. I didn’t want to turn away from Hestia’s first wishes.

In any case, Cecilia will not be in danger because she will only follow the flow of the original.

So I delivered it to someone who needed it more.

Hestia, who had been staring at the dragon crystal stone, faced Filina with a more solid face.

“When I become princess, I’ll get Debussy out of here. Instead, I have to keep my promise to help her.”

Filina nodded obediently.

“I will.”

Of course, you won’t be able to keep your word.

The moment Cecilia shows up, I’m going to get out of here and go back to my original world.

But he didn’t give a damn to Hestia.

He didn’t want to break her will with just his words.

She just really wanted it.

May she become the Emperor of the Alvar Empire in the future…….

Hestia withdrew, and the third visitor came a little slowly.

It’s also at night when everyone is asleep.

“Philina.”

Using the magic of space travel, Huey’s face faced through the iron grate, and there was a dark shadow.

“Are you okay?”

He asked, looking worried.

Huey’s gaze occasionally landed on the iron bars that stood between him and Philina.

The prison was tightly enclosed in a tremendous bond. So most magic or divine powers didn’t work.

Philina asked Huey, dumbfounded.

“How the hell did you use the space-shifting magic?”

He looked around and replied with a small gesture.

“Have you forgotten? I’m a genius wizard.”

As he did so, he quickly continued, his expression crumpled.

“In fact, after a few failed spatial moves, I finally came. Moreover, it was not here where I was originally going to arrive, but in the prison where you were held.”

“There are several prisons, how do you know where I am?”

“I asked Prince Bruno about your location. But as you can see, it failed, and it was moved here.”

He scanned the hallway where he stood with a disapproving face. Looking at Huey, Philina said playfully.

“If you’re going to do this, what are you going to do with magic? You just have to visit like everyone else.”

Then Huey suddenly furrowed his eyebrows and replied irritably.

“Don’t you know, you ask? Outsiders are not allowed to visit. No one can come in except my family.”

It was something that Filina had never known.

Apparently Ian had made up his mind and was going to lock himself up here.

Huey asked her with a serious look.

“What are you going to do?”

“What is it?”

“I can let you get out of here if you want. No matter how much magic doesn’t work, don’t think you can stop me.”

Filina laughed helplessly.

“You know that. That’s why I came here.”

“…… Do you really have to go back to this?”

“Things blew up anyway. And if I stay here, the only thing left for me is death.”

“What if I offered to protect you for the rest of my life?”

Filina stared at him intently. Huey spoke again in a sophisticated voice, without loosening his stiff expression.

“If I swear to protect you even with my life.”

“…….”

“So, can you stay?”

To his question, Filina replied with a small smile.

“Nope.”

Huey lowered his head, the corners of his mouth raised as if he knew he would. There was a moment of quiet silence between the two of them.

Then Huey stepped back and looked at Philina.

“Can I help you?”

Filina shook her head.

“No.”

“Don’t regret it, because if you catch me later, you’ll never look back.”

At the thought of his heartbroken voice, Filina smiled and nodded. Then Huey also let out a small sigh and said his last goodbye.

“Good-bye, Philina. It was nice to be friends with you.”
