It’s getting harder and harder to be a villain these days

For some reason, the conflict between the two of them is destined to be inevitable, so instead of being backstabbed at the critical moment, it is better to contact them in advance and prepare a corresponding strategy.

After making up his mind, Vickery sat on the chair and looked at Yula.

Youla also looked at him, but her eyes revealed a hint of embarrassment, as if she had a guilty conscience.

'Does she feel sorry for herself in any way? ' Vickery was a little puzzled.

Yamos, who entered later, asked with a smile.

"Weikeli, how do you look at Yola today?"

Vickrey didn't speak, just stared at Yula blankly.

The elegant hair style with one side tied sideways highlights the graceful and charming neck line. The snow-white silk satin shoulderless evening dress just highlights her charming figure. The exquisite black string high-heeled shoes on her feet show a mature woman. She is charming and has the youthfulness of a girl.

Youla, who usually can't hide her temperament even in plain clothes, looks even more gorgeous today.

This is the most beautiful woman he has ever seen...

After a long moment, Vickery nodded.

"beautiful..."

"Haha, that is, it doesn't matter whose sister it is!"

Yamos laughed.

But after the joke, his conversation suddenly changed and went straight to the topic of tonight.

"Our two families have been engaged for some years. When do you plan to get married this year, Vickrey?"

"..."

You're too impatient, the food hasn't even been served yet.

Vickrey couldn't help but curse in his heart.

"Brother, I..."

The frightened Yora wanted to say something, but Amos raised her hand to stop her.

"This is a conversation between adults now, Yora, please stay quiet."

"..."

Just when Yula silently shut up and lowered her head in silence.

A faint red mist in the sky attracted Vickrey's attention.

Warning from the system.

At first he thought it was coming from Yura, but that was not the case. The source of the red mist came from the woman next to him who kept smiling at him, Eleanor.

"Don't blame Youla. After all, it's her wedding. It's normal to be anxious. But the specific date will be determined.

It doesn't matter, we can prepare in advance, what do you think, Professor Wakely? "

Typical of duplicity, Nipai had so much murderous intent in his heart that he overflowed, but his face was still full of smiles, and there was no trace of anything strange in his gentle expression.

At the same time, the red mist, which represented murderous intent, slowly began to fade. If you didn't look carefully, you might even think it was just dust.

No, the red mist has completely disappeared...

A disguise that can fool even the system... What a scary woman.

dong dong~

"Your dish."

After a knock on the door, the chef came in with a plate and started serving food.

Immediately, Yamos picked up the knife and fork and ate a piece of steak in a few bites. Although the action was rough, it gave people a sense of dissoluteness.

"I plan to leave this matter to Youla to decide." Vickrey said slowly.

"What, what did you say!" Yamos tried his best to swallow the steak in his mouth.

Vickery carefully chose his words in his mind, and at the same time turned his attention to Elinor.

He knew the nature of this woman.

Beneath this beautiful skin lurks a monster that would put even the devil to shame.

She is cold-blooded and ruthless, and will do whatever it takes to achieve her goals. It can be said that she is very similar to the original character of Vickrey, but her scheming is far better than his.

Unlike Vickrey, who is domineering, Elinor is better at disguising and covering up her ambitions.

A venomous snake wearing a human skin mask may be the most appropriate metaphor.

In just 10 years, Elinor became the underground queen of the empire, and the forces under her spread like a spider web across the black market across the continent.

And she hid it very well. Almost no one knew her true identity behind the scenes of this socialite who came from a knight family and was active in various banquets.

Vickery may be the only person in the world who knows her true identity.

The conflict between the two lies in Yora. Eleanor truly loves her sister, and this stubborn love even reaches the point of being pathological. Strictly speaking, with her strength, she could have sent people to secretly eradicate Vickrey, but she has always been Just didn't take action...

If possible, Weekley really didn't want to offend this family.

"Wickley, do you know what you're talking about?"

"Of course I know."

Elinor, who is so good at disguising, couldn't help but reveal his murderous intention at that moment. I'm afraid he really planned to take action. If he wanted to get through this difficulty, he needed to show Elinor no more harm. Yula's sincerity.

"Since Youla doesn't want to get married, why should I force her to make things difficult for her?"

"Do you mean to break off the engagement?"

Yamos frowned.

"Don't worry, even if Youla really wants to break off the engagement, the cooperation between the Pod family and the Claire family will not be terminated."

“…”

Yola lowered her head, and Vickery thought she was moved by his profound righteousness...

But why do those trembling hands look like they are desperately suppressing anger?

Could it be?

Vickrey looked at Eleanor, and sure enough, red mist appeared around her again, but it quickly disappeared.

Is it the wrong answer to simply break off the engagement?…

Vickery licked his dry lips.

"No, no, no, for such a big matter, how can you just break off the engagement?" Yamos shook his head nervously.

"Ah, such a considerate thought, Professor Weekly, you are really gentle."

Although Eleanor was smiling, she obviously did not accept this statement.

"It's just that if you break off the engagement for this reason, the elders of the family will not allow it. Moreover, your behavior will cause a lot of dissatisfaction and hidden dangers for both families."

"..."

Vickery sighed inwardly.

Sure enough, this political marriage involves the interests of too many people. It is simply unrealistic to break off the engagement with just one sentence. If the engagement is forcibly broken off, not only the other party, but also Tia's retainers will probably be dissatisfied.

What should I say, Vickery thought aimlessly.

"Can we just stay together for a while?" Yura said in a serious tone.

Yamos realized the seriousness of the matter.

"If you allow it, Vickery..."

"It's ok."

"Okay, let's go out first, let's go Eleanor."

"I know~ You guys should have a good chat."

The two stood up from their seats and left.

Chapter 38 Successfully avoid the death branch

But within a moment, Eleanor sneaked back again, her ear pressed against the door.

Although Vickery didn't know the specific situation outside the door, he could basically guess that someone would be eavesdropping. He never expected this woman to leave obediently.

Be careful what you say next...

"You are really becoming more and more despicable." Youla said through gritted teeth.

"Have it?"

Vickery shook his head. To be honest, he was much better than before.

According to the intelligence he collected during this period, before the official engagement, Vickery sent many gifts to the retainers and elders of the Claire family, and even promised a series of good things to pressure them to put pressure on Yula. , promote their marriage

thing.

Later, he used his privileges to exclude Yura from frontline combat on the grounds that "combat is too dangerous," which aroused dissatisfaction and jealousy among his fellow knights, causing her to be isolated in the Royal Knights.

In the end, it was Yola who took the initiative to resign from the Royal Knights. After Weekly learned the news, he was so shameless that he invited her to join the knights under his family. Needless to say, she was naturally rejected.

Just when Ura wanted to rely on her own strength to join other knights and start over, Vickery came to cause trouble again and tried every means to prevent her from joining other knights. During that time, she was even called a disaster star because Vickery followed her wherever she went.

Later, Eleanor couldn't stand it any longer and secretly helped her clean up the people in Vikley, so that Eura could breathe.

The predecessor's perverted possessiveness, wanting Yula to rely on herself, eventually pushed the two of them further and further apart...

Therefore, Vickrey now quite understands Youla's mood, and doesn't blame her for this attitude.

He said in a calm tone while cutting the steak.

"As you can see, when things have reached this point, I can't just cancel the engagement if I want to."

"....You had this in mind from the beginning!?"

Yula was shaking with anger, and then looked at Vickery angrily.

"Are you going to do those things to me again?"

There was a tremor in Yula's voice. That period was really difficult. Even now, everything is still vivid in my mind, as if it happened yesterday.

"What do you mean? Oh, are you afraid that I will oppress your newly created knighthood? I heard that it is quite famous recently." Vickery said playfully.

It was the 'Frost Star' Knights that Youla gathered together to form a group of like-minded knights. Although it was only a year old, it had already grown in size under her painstaking efforts.

"You! Don't force me..."

Yula turned the fork in her hand into a ball of scrap metal, grabbed the steak on the plate and ate it.

In an instant, her pretty face and white dress were splashed with sauce, and her temperament changed from an extraordinary noble lady to a savage country girl.

She grabbed a lot of dishes on the table and stuffed them into her mouth. After eating, she rubbed her hands on her body. Within a while, her body was covered with greasy and dirty fingerprints.

"You don't have to be like this..."

Vickery was stunned.

He didn't expect that Youla could disgust him by doing this to him because of his mysophobia.

This childish revenge made Vickery want to laugh. He was not a real 'Vickley', so what use would it be to him...

But he couldn't laugh anymore because the sauce splashing everywhere gradually made him feel irritable and nauseated in his stomach.

No, this body's mysophobia is about to be awakened!

"Stop! Stop!"

"No, this is how I eat!"

“…”

"Wow, it's delicious." Youla said as she ate the seaweed.

Vickery forced himself to close his eyes, not to look at that terrible scene. After trying to stabilize his mind, he suddenly opened his eyes.

"Yora, stop. I swear I will never suppress your knights, and I will never do anything like this again."

"Do you think I still believe it?"

"Yes, I was at fault, but doesn't your family have any responsibility?"
