Looking for the Villainess Who Spent the First Night

Chapter 16

“Wait a minute, Your Highness the Archduke!”

Yes, fate and everything are important, though.

I couldn't wait to see the aide become unemployed right now.

Just because I didn't come in a dress, I couldn't have imagined that sparks would fly like this.

How the hell did the story go like this?

“The dress you sent me. It was actually pretty.”

He even got married last year and has a child.

Wow, just thinking about it makes me sweat cold.

When I thought that the peaceful and happy family would be shattered because of me and that the head of the household would lose his job, I had no choice but to put everything aside.

First of all, I have to protect the aide's job!

"really. It was pretty. By the way."

I said I was pretty, but what excuse do I have now?

It's pretty, but I just didn't wear it.

No, I can't even say that!

The Jerlac I've experienced so far is by no means a meek person.

Just because she said she was pretty but didn't wear it doesn't mean she's not a great person to be taken lightly.

Surely, until I find a reason I can understand, he will pursue me and drive me into a corner, and when I am exhausted to the point where I can't breathe - he will laugh leisurely and reach out his hand.

I hate myself for knowing this pattern so well.

"By the way?"

I was really embarrassed and was sweating profusely, but suddenly the cake and sweet things I ate leisurely came to mind.

Wow, the stress is extreme, so I just think of sweets.

The very things my father and brother recommended to reduce out of concern for my health.

At that moment, a thought flashed through my mind.

This is it.

“Joe, it was a little small.”

Zerlac asked as he raised one eyebrow as if he hadn't expected it at all.

“You said it was small?”

“Yes, so. It was a little small for me.”

After saying that, I glanced up at him, but Zerlac was making an expression he had never shown before.

Yes.

He is very embarrassed now.

I was embarrassed and embarrassed again, and I am blaming myself.

I sent you a dress to give as a gift, but it didn't fit. It even sent a small one.

Wow, when she tried it on and realized the dress was too small, in a fit of embarrassment, she put it aside and came to the prom in any dress!

… … What would you have thought of like this?

Of course, that's not what I said.

'You're right, let's push a little more when we're flustered.'

You can't miss this great opportunity.

“I tried to wear it after losing some weight.”

The reason I was able to say this without knowing anything else was because my old memories came to mind.

Being unable to be free from the war against Sal is so helpful.

"Your Highness, the reason I didn't wear a dress wasn't out of fashion or because I didn't like the dress."

Then he lowered his head slightly.

“The aide's eyesight was accurate, and the dress shop manager's choice was excellent. The problem is me. It is my body.”

“… … What fat?”

“Oh, no. my body.”

When he said that, he quietly lowered his head.

Would it be okay if I talked about this much?

However, a rather unexpected reaction came back.

For a moment, Gerlac seemed lost in thought, but said nothing-

"Sorry."

A short but powerful word fell in front of me.

I never expected him to say sorry.

I just thought it was enough to understand what I was saying and move on.

Actually, Gerlac was not a person with expressive expressions. Because he was the one who looked down on everyone with his unique lofty and dry eyes.

But what I was facing now was a face I had never seen before.

“I didn’t expect the dress you sent me to be small. apologize.”

What was hidden in the big eyes was definitely self-reproach.

“I made it because I thought I knew you well, but I guess I was the one with poor eyesight. Sorry."

No, if you blame yourself that much, I'm really trashy and bad, and I don't know what to do.

So, without realizing it, I opened my mouth.

“No, it's not something the Grand Duke would be sorry for. Even if it's not, the amount of food has increased these days. Hehe, I’ll adjust it properly so you can wear a pretty dress.”

“No, you don’t have to… … .”

"no. Don't dry it!”

“You are still enough… … .”

“No, I fully knew what the Grand Duke thought of me, but I really want to die and feel ashamed because I couldn’t live up to his expectations.”

“But in that dress, I had a special… … .”

If you give him a chance to speak here, he dries up.

You have to push while you can.

“Perhaps you didn’t know how much meat I had on my side because I hid it under this rich dress. Actually, I folded the two and hid them.”

“What are you folding?”

“Anyway, I’ll take it out. Okay, I'll take it off.”

I pretended to close my eyes tightly and block the front with both hands.

I started to defend my excuse, but once my mouth exploded, I couldn't get out of control.

“So I will definitely wear it next time we see each other.”

I clenched my fists and announced my will.

“Don’t go that far… … .”

“Because it is not! I will. I must have a body that fits the most beautiful dress in the world!”

“… … .”

“So please don’t fire the aide. You know?”

When I said that, Zerlac finally looked at me and smiled.

It looks like my acting got through a bit, haha!

“Do that.”

I really didn't know until then.

How hard did I hit my instep?

“Leonie!”

After coming down from the balcony, I hurried to find Leonie.

Adrian, whom she thought would be there, was nowhere to be seen, and she was standing alone holding a cocktail glass with a rather uneasy look on her face.

“Rive, here you are.”

It was a pretty happy face until I looked down from the balcony, but what happened?

As I got closer, Leonie didn't look anxious, but rather depressed.

“Leonie, did you say hello to the person you went to see earlier?”

When I ask-

“Yeah, we just met and said hello.”

He answered briefly and immediately drank a cocktail.

May I ask who you are?

Wouldn't it be better to say that I was just on the balcony and saw you by chance.

I was thinking about this and that, but Leonie spoke first.

“Rive, you know.”

"yes."

“I want to be with you, and I want to talk with you… … Is it the feeling you like?”

what?

I didn't know how to answer the sudden question.

No, so why are you asking that all of a sudden?

“Eh, it’s nice, so I want to be with you… … .”

Are you talking about Adrian?

Couldn't Leonie have feelings for Adrian?

Alas, no. If that's the case, it's really troublesome.

“No, it may not be the feeling you really like.”

I rolled my eyes and turned around.

"okay?"

“Yeah, if you’re bored, don’t you want to grab hold of someone and talk?”

"Is it?"

Leonie looked at me with a confused face.

“Oh, yes everyone. I don't think I want to talk for a long time or be together just because I like you.”

"really?"

“There are many kinds of people in the world.”

Leonie nodded slowly.

“Yeah, right.”

“And if I like you, I don’t want to be with you. I want to see you from a little distance because I’m shy.”

Oh, I shouldn't have said that.

"really?"

“Yeah, that’s right.”

“Yes, it could be.”

"Leonie, what's the matter?"

“Libe, talking to you makes me feel like something is unraveling. Until then, I was just at a loss.”

I felt a little relieved when Leonie put on a relaxed expression.

“Are you worried? Did something bad happen today?”

“No, something like that.”

“I’m worried because you don’t look good.”

Leonie just laughed without saying anything this time. Then he dropped his shoulders and let out a deep sigh.

“Sometimes a flower pot falls over your head and you end up getting your feet in a pit, but that’s okay.”

"What? Not okay at all!”

“No, but I won’t die at this level.”

“Leonie.”

Leonie showed only a faint smile again.

“I had a hard time sleeping last night and I am a little tired. I just have to go back.”

"What? really?"

“Yeah, Love will still be there, right?”

“Is it very bad?”

“No, I think it will be okay if I go home and get some rest. I'll go first.”

Then, before I had time to say anything, I walked through the crowd and disappeared.
