The Villainess’ Beloved Plan: The Struggles to Avoid a Doomed End

“Speaking of which, do you have any definite plans for Verhund?”

The next day, Sophia and Randall were having breakfast at a restaurant. Because the painter Raqqa wanted to paint Sophia and Randall. Randall was reluctant, but Johannes pushed him towards it, and they were driven to the restaurant together. They sat facing each other at the window and took their time eating the hearty breakfast on the menu in the morning.

As usual, Randall was not known for broaching the subject on his own, so Sophia thought about it and remembered that she had not asked him what he planned to do in Verhund Country.

“I haven’t decided on anything specific.”

“Oh, really?”

“Yeah.”

She didn’t expect Randall to take the lead in planning a trip, but it was unexpected that he hadn’t decided anything. She was supposed to spend two weeks in Werfund, so she wanted to have at least a list of tourist attractions on his list.

Randall stopped cutting the ham steak.

“Is there somewhere you want to go?”

“Well, ……, since we’re here, I’d like to do some sightseeing.”

“Where do you want to go?”

“Well, let’s see……, for example, Lake Julia or the ruins of Balsano Castle.”

Lake Julia, right? There are ruins at the bottom of the lake, right?”

When Sophia decided to go on her honeymoon in Verhund, she researched various tourist attractions, wondering where Randall would take her. She was sure that Randall would not take her to a market or something like that, but she had done some preliminary research on ruins. She didn’t think Randall had any idea what he was getting himself into.

He said, “Well, all right.”

“What? You’ll take me there?”

“Don’t you want to go?”

“Of course I want to go, but ……”

She didn’t think it would be so easy to get permission. She was worried that he had no intention to go sightseeing since he said he had not decided anything, but it seemed that he was willing to go out with her for a while.

Sophia had been worried about the trip, but she was happy to hear that Randall was willing to go sightseeing with her. Could this be the beginning of a “lovey-dovey” relationship that she had not really expected? By the way, from Sophia’s point of view, who has played many Otome games, the level of “lovey-dovey” is not only zero but also negative at the moment. She wants to bring it to zero at least. She wants to be at least at the starting point.

“Oh, and one more thing! I hear the port of Casals has very good fish and tomato dishes!”

The port of Casals in Verhund, where the Queen Amiliana docks, is famous for its fresh fish dishes and tomatoes.

“We were planning to stay just one night in Casals. The boat will be there in the afternoon, so we’ll have time to look around.”

“Really?”

“We don’t have any specific travel plans, so if you like it, you can stay two or three nights.”

‘I see. I see. So there are advantages to travelling without a plan.’

While eating the dessert custard pudding brought by the waiter, Randall, who showed a surprisingly kind side, couldn’t help but grimace.

“Don’t you like pudding so much? Have my share too.”

Sophia shouted in her mind that she didn’t, but she was sure that the pudding was delicious, so she gratefully accepted it.

‘Ugh ……, I ate too much ……’

Sophia, who was in a good mood and even ate Randall’s pudding, was walking down the corridor to return to her room with a heavy stomach and a feeling of mild regret.

Randall was talking with Johannes in the salon to set up an itinerary, since Sophia has expressed her wish to see the sights in Verhund.

Sophia was also going to go and tell Orion and Isolte that Randall has given her permission to go sightseeing in Verhund. She also wants to ask them what they would like to do and make the trip more fulfilling and fun if possible.

‘So much fun, a fun trip!’

Sophia felt like humming. ‘Hmmm, the trip will be fun!’ She felt too heavy for Skipping right now.

‘Since we’re going to be there, I’m going to ask Raqqa to paint a lot of pictures for us at the tourist spots. I’m not Johannes, but I want to buy nice paintings as a memory of the trip. If I ask Randall for an allowance to buy the paintings, will he give it to me?’

As Sophia’s anticipation for the trip swelled up inside her, and she was walking on the red fluffy carpet in the corridor as if it were a cloud, she saw a young man walking in front of her. He was the actor who played the role of Raffel in yesterday’s opera, with brown skin and reddish brown hair.

‘Wow! I got to see him early ……!’

Sophia felt an itch to talk to him, but she thought it would be rude, so she casually said, “Good morning.”

When Sophia greeted him, he stopped and smiled as fresh as the morning sea breeze.

He stopped when Sophia greeted him and smiled as fresh as the morning sea breeze. “Good morning,are you returning from the restaurant?”

“Yes, I am!”

“I’m on my way there too. How was your meal? Actually, this is my first time going to a restaurant.”

“The thick ham steak was delicious!　And the pudding for dessert was smooth and delicious.”

“Yes, that’s something to look forward to. By the way, if you are here, you must be staying in the Royal Suite, right? Are you on a trip to Verhund? Or are you going back?”

” yes. I am on a trip”

“Well, I hope you have a wonderful trip. I’ll be around.”

As he walked past Sophia, he smelled a cool, refreshing mixture of citrus and mint. She turned with a start and saw Randall walking in from further back from him. When Randall saw Sophia’s pouting face, he raised his eyebrows.

“What the hell are you doing in there?”

He looked extremely annoyed, as if the good mood he had seemed to be in at breakfast was a mirage.
