The Villain’s Sister Suffers Today

Chapter 35



Unintentionally, I saved the crown prince from hardship.

In fact, even if he was left alone, the guard, who wondered why the prince was not seen at the party today, would have come out to the garden and rescued him.

“Your Highness, have you fallen into another trance?” would have nicely covered up the fact that he was lost.

‘I should’ve left it as if I didn’t know it.’

Oh, this terrible mouth.

The way out of the garden was strangely secluded.

By the time we were about to exit the garden, the Crown Prince suddenly broke the silence.

“Princess is the first one to know I’m bad with directions.”

Um…

I’d like to say something. I didn’t really say he’s bad with directions myself. Should I say no?

However, such a remark may be a cry of ridicule at a time when I witnessed the Crown Prince’s loss in the palace garden.

I just chose to reassure him again.

“You really don’t have to worry. I am not someone ignorant who doesn’t know about manners and honour to carry your personal story carelessly.”

“I’m not worried about that.”

No?

The prince looked at me with a gentle expression. He certainly doesn’t look anxious.

I didn’t know if that meant he trusted me or saying it didn’t matter.

“But it’s a little embarrassing. I’ve shown the princess my lacking aspect.”

“No, Your Highness. It was an honour for me to be of assistance.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes, and in fact, if a person is too perfect, it is not humane and feels like a wall. You have become more perfect than others because you have a slightly lacking side about the road.”

Did I just say the right thing?

I took it out as soon as it came to me, but I couldn’t check it.

Fortunately, I could hear the prince’s laugh lightly as if the meaning of the goodwill was conveyed properly.

“I see. I’ve become more perfect.”

“Yes, you are.”

Does he like it?

In fact, I’ve read the passage that the prince is not good at directions, but I don’t remember reading anything else about how he thinks of it as a complex.

The Crown Prince was calmer and more determined than I thought. He was a little taken aback a little while ago because I unintentionally caught him, but maybe he’s thinking it’s nothing.

‘No, but at the Imperial Palace garden…’

I don’t know. If not, then it’s okay.

Anyway, I mean it when I say I won’t say anything. What’s the point of saying that?

Moreover, they won’t believe me. I read it in a book and know that the Crown Prince is bad at directions, but for Imperial people, the Crown Prince Igret was just a completely perfect existence.

I don’t have any intention to break that fantasy.

While I was thinking about it, the entrance to the party was just around the corner.

Thanks to meeting the guard on the way, I was able to come straight to the entrance.

The Crown Prince stopped at the door. The light in the party room seemed to leak faintly through the crack in the door.

The crown prince’s distinctive features have a strange shade.

He had a good, handsome face. Even if someone is slapping me on the cheek to find his flaws, I’m not sure if I can find it.

“I was wondering what kind of person you are……you’re quite interesting, princess.”

“What?”

I couldn’t hear it because I was distracted. The guard opened the door just in time.

Bright lights, music and other busy noises flooded in at once, grabbing my attention.

At this time, the Crown Prince leaned toward me.

The gap has narrowed. Even in the midst of loud noise, a small voice can be heard clearly.

“I hope you enjoy the party today. I won’t forget the help I received from you in the garden.”

Soon, the prince was called by the voice of his search for me and moved away inside the party hall.

I saw him away and blinked my eyes near the entrance.

‘Just now…’

Did he really have to say that so close?

I rubbed my ears. It was not a breath-taking thing, but it was worth it.

I seriously thought about the meaning of his excessive behaviour.

“Oh, Princess Lydia.”

Someone was talking to me while I was thinking about that. My attention turns to the voice.

“Oh, Countess.”

It was a blonde woman whose name was hazy, but I attended her wedding last year.

“I see you here. Long time no see. How have you been?”

“Of course. And how about you countess? How is the Count?”

“Well, he’s …”

The Countess opened up her fan and chattered. I don’t know if it was fortunate or unfortunate that she was the first person I talk to.

The countess was talkative. Thanks to her, I could not find time to think about anything else just by getting along with her gossip.

“Hello, Princess.”

“You are still beautiful. You look good in a navy dress. Which salon did you get it from?”

“Have you tried wine? I’ve heard from the mayor that today’s wine is especially from the Imperial Palace…….”

Starting with Countess, several people have been talking to me. There were various people, so the subjects were diverse.

My mouth and face were busy accepting the conversation, but as I had hoped, my head felt more and more simple.

‘I’ve come a long way.’

Hoo, to take a breather in the middle, cut off the conversation for a while and looked around inside of the party hall.

Today’s party was a kind of celebration party to commemorate the new building.

Of course, surprisingly, it was only a nominal name for such trivial reasons, and in fact, it was a simple party held by the country (from tax) for people who had time and status to gather and build acquaintance.

‘If it were any other time, I wouldn’t be here for a party like this.’

I didn’t pay for it myself, but it felt rather strange to watch the waste of taxes in front of my eyes.

“Princess, this is the wine I told you about…..”

“Oh, thank you.”

I accepted a glass of wine from a server. While I was taking a break from speaking, I thought my neck or mouth would be broken.

It was then.

“Excuse me.”

Tuk!

Someone passed by and hit my elbow. It was very unfortunate timing.

The wine I had just taken for a drink was dripping from my glass and dirtied my dress.

“Oh, I’m sorry.”

A lady, who looked about in her late teens with long black hair, gave me an apology in an awkward manner.

“Oh, princess! Your Dress!”

“Are you all right?”

There’s something I’d like to mention briefly.

I was actually very sensitive about distinguishing someone who felt sorry for me, given that I grew up with a diamond spoon.

It could be the effect of my previous life, or it could be because I was an adoptee but no one said anything about it and I know it by myself.

What’s important is I was like that.

When I saw the feeling of the opponent, who said she was sorry but didn’t seem so sorry, I thought of what Sir Davery had said before.

‘Do you have many people who have grudges against you around?’

..it’s strange…..no, it’s not.

..I don’t think so.

Anyway, I can’t stay still as long as I’ve been beaten.

I don’t have a big heart to pass over this unprovoked attack.

“It’s okay. It’s no big deal.”

After calming down the noisy surroundings and shaking my dress and abandoned it, then I saw my opponent.

“Lady, what’s your name?”

“I’m Count of Isaac’s daughter…… Irene. I’m so sorry, Princess.”

“It was a mistake. You don’t have to apologize. It’s a dress. All I need to do is just change it. It’s a good fate that I knew your face, so wouldn’t the lady accept a glass of wine, too?”

“Yes?”

“Don’t reject me, please. Because I told you not to apologize anymore. Someone said that the wine tastes so good today.”

I smiled softly and picked up two new glasses instead of an existing wine glass, which was half empty.

“Come on, let’s have a drink here…..Ahh!”

Then I held out to the opponent and deliberately stepped on the hem of my dress and stumbled, and poured them both.

“Argh!”

Hit the mark perfectly.

The dress, which was filled with wine from the two glasses, was simply worth seeing.

The young lady, who introduced herself as Irene, shouted in contemplation.

“Hey, what are you doing!”

“I’m sorry, Lady. God, I stepped on the hem of a dress like a fool, so…..what can I do? Are you okay?”

I apologized to her actively, wondering what to do. like I’m really embarrassed by an unexpected mistake.

“I apologize. I’ll make up for the dress if you don’t mind.”

“…it’s okay.”

Irene turned her body with her mouth shaking.

Yeah, I said I made a mistake, but what’s the point of mincing it? If she thinks about it, it won’t be more than spitting in her face that she made a mistake first.

No matter how much I give or receive, she is the one who caused the damage.

When Irene left, people around me chattered as if they wanted me to hear.

“The Princess generously turned over the mistakes, she’s so shameless.”

“She can make a mistake, but she doesn’t think anyone else could.”

“How can that be?”

“Don’t do that. We just made a mistake at each other.”

I stopped them with passing words then left the party.

The reason was an excuse to change a dirty dress, but in fact, there was a real purpose.

‘There she is.’

I came out of the entrance to the hallway and saw a black hair just turning the corner.

After looking around the crowd area inside the party hall, luckily this area was quiet, I ran to grab the opponent and pushed her against the wall.

“Akh! Wh, who…..”

“Hey.”

Irene stared at me with her rabbit eyes. I looked down at my opponent, who was about half a span smaller than me, with my arms locked.

“Why did you just do that to me?”
