The Villain’s Sister Suffers Today

Chapter 67



Worried, Irene seemed to have left the hunting ground and returned to her family without being identified.

‘That’s a relief.’

I was really relieved.

Because, if that’s the case, I wouldn’t have had any kind of trouble.

If that’s not the case, I would have honestly covered my mouth with my fist in the corner of the room and cried. Or I might not have left my pillowcase and kept crying.

Irene arrived at her family, Count Isaac mansion, she sent me a long letter.

The letter, starting with “Dear Princess Lydia Widgreen,” and ended with “Sent Irene Isaac.” consisted of 3 chapters.

‘Such a long letter.’

To look at the content, it was mainly to say that she came home well thanks to me, being grateful of me, and asked me how I am doing.

By the time I read the letter, my condition was fine. My condition was very good.

After spending about a day suffering from a mild body-ache, I got up and received Irene’s letter the next day, feeling awkward as if something had happened.

I sent a short reply. Said that I’m fine and the palm of Sir Davery’s hand, which she asked at the end of her letter, was fine.

I was worried to see the blood, but Sir Davery’s wound was not as deep as I thought.

According to the doctor’s statement, he will get better soon, and if he doesn’t do anything crazy that could burn his wounds during the healing process, there will be no scar left.

‘Phew.’

It was a relief.

Ash’s unspeakable departure from the hunting ground during the hunting competition seemed to have been roughly matched by my sudden illness.

I was in the back of a rare cheering seat, and I collapsed complaining of sudden aches, and the servant rushed to the hunting ground and told Ash.

Upon hearing the news, Ash immediately left behind everything in the contest and left the hunting ground to take care of her sister. Like that.

‘Thanks to it, it’s been said again that I and Ash are close.’

Now that I’m here, I don’t think it’s new.

Zigman Raom, who came across me at the hunting ground, seemed to have a heavier mouth than he looked.

The fact that I was in the hunting ground didn’t leak out at all.

Was he a man with a dual attractiveness who acted hastily but very cautious?

Thanks to that, it was not me or Irene who made the name unsavoury in connection with the hunting competition, but others.

‘Mag Jaang.’

According to reports, Mag Jaang secretly participated in the age-restrictions hunting competition by borrowing someone else’s name.

It was what the rumour said that so far.

‘The rumour said he got caught because he failed to catch the rabbit?’

He shot a bow to catch the rabbit, but the rabbit avoided it, and the embarrassed Mag Jaang was flustered and kicked the horse by mistake.

Surprised, the horse ran away after dropping Mag Jaang, who fainted from the shock and was discovered by the end of the hunting competition.….

I’ve heard he’s such a total mess.

‘Such a …..’

Mag Jaang denied it at first, but his claim seemed to be ignored by a report that came out from an anonymous witness.

First of all, it was true that Mag Jaang was found unconscious alone near the haunted rabbit.

‘Is he the culprit who shot the arrow?’

I was in doubt when I heard that he was in the hunting ground.

If the arrow that tore Sir Davery’s palm wasn’t a mistake, would he be the only one who has had enough grudges against me to do it on purpose?

‘The location where we attacked and the haunted rabbit area was perfectly fit.’

Unfortunately, there was no other evidence.

Well, it’s not like we’re going to see Mag Jaang in the capital for a while, anyway.

This is because Viscount Jaang decided to send Mag Jaang, who caused a stir in many ways and disgraced the family’s face, down to the local territory in order to punish him and for self-reflection.

Honestly, if it was me, I would have wanted to send him anywhere right away.

Some say that he was already called ‘Rabbit Jaang’ instead of his real name of Mag Jaang.

Rumour has it that he went missing on his way down to the territory at dawn to avoid the attention.

There was no way to verify the authenticity of this rumour.

Anyway, for me who knew Mag Jaang’s personality, I could only say that it was good.

‘Oh, and.’

The winning of the hunting competition went naturally to the Crown Prince since Ash was disqualified.

‘It’s different from the original book that said they titled ‘Joint Winning.’ for both of them.’

Contrary to their concerns, the knights did not feel much regret or despair over the results of the hunting competition.

Apparently, everyone was mentally believed that Ash would have won the championship if he hadn’t left the tournament.

‘I’m relieved.’

Good things were good, anyway, I was glad they weren’t disappointed and depressed.

The reason for disqualification was because of me anyway.

While I was known to be ill, I decided not to attend all the Imperial Ball that will be held from the day after the hunting competition, to strengthen the misunderstanding.

Attending the ball was not mandatory, so I was able to make that decision.

‘Cause it’s not like I wanted to go anyway.’

During the six days of the Imperial Ball, my choice was not to take a step outside the mansion, pretending to be a patient with a bad cold because of the severe change between seasons.

And it was the same today, the last day of the ball.

“Bessie, what are you doing?”

Maybe it was because the air was a little chilly after waking up.

Suddenly, I thought of Bessie’s special honey water and came down to the living room looking for her.

But Bessie was burning something in the stove on one side of the living room.

“What am I doing? I’m burning what the Duke told me to burn… Oh, my God!”

“Why are you surprised?”

I was more surprised when Bessie found me and startled.

I hesitated in bewilderment and soon gave Bessie a look at the things she was burning.

“What are you burning?”

I thought it would be plain paper or firewood, but it wasn’t.

A bouquet, some tea leaves, and … a fruit basket?

‘Why is she burning some kind of three sets of hospital visits?’

“Oh, it’s… Hmm, nothing.”

“You said it’s nothing but the composition is a bit unique–”

“More than that, my lady, you’re just in time. I was just about to go to you.”

Bessie raised herself, clapping her hands.

Then I saw her push the rest that couldn’t be burned with her foot into the stove all at once, but I just pretended not to know.

‘There must be a reason.’

“Why?”

“I think you should start dressing up.”

“Dressing up?”

I didn’t have a plan to go out. So why dress up? While I thought so, Bessie’s words went on like that.

“There’s going to be a party in sponsorship tonight.”

“Huh?”

What was that mean?

“I’ve never heard of this before.”

“I’m sure you’ve never heard it. Since I was secretly preparing for it. It’s a party for my lady.”

“A party for me……But my birthday has passed.”

“Oh, my lady really. Today’s the last day of the harvest festival.”

Bessie, who shook her head, raised her voice and added.

“My lady, when you didn’t even attend the Imperial Ball, what makes you think you could spend a day like this doing nothing in the mansion?”

‘I think it’s possible, but…….’

There’s no point in saying that.

Looking at the nuance, it looks like she’s already got all the preparations ready.

“Well, by the way, Bessie, even if we’re throwing a party… Wouldn’t everyone be busy and will be on the last night at the Imperial Ball?”

I was wondering if there would be any guests at the party.

Bessie smiled and shook her hand at the remark.

“You don’t have to worry about that. It’s a party we’re holding without inviting guests.”

“Really?”

“It’s a small but enjoyable, simple but luxurious, simple, but grand outdoor party.”

‘What’s that?’

From the second phrase, her words already didn’t make any sense.

‘Didn’t she say it’s simple but luxurious?’ How could it be possible?’

Anyway, Bessie, who speaks away from it, seemed happy…

Well, yeah, it’s just a party between us, and that Bessie belongs to “us” so we just need to have fun.

“I sent the invitation to only one person in particular.”

“Yes, yes… Yes? You sent an invitation? To whom?”

Instead of telling me, Bessie looked one eye at me.

“It’s a special and lovely guest for you.”

><><><><><><><><

Eonni!”

It wasn’t until the evening that I could identify the ‘one and only guest’ that Bessie said.

Though I had expected it, I secretly whispered while looking at Ari, who had visited the mansion with Dylan with a bright face.

“Are you okay with it? It’s dinner time and it’s an outdoor party here.”

“It’s all right.”

In other words, breakfast, lunch, and dinner were dangerous times for Ari.

Unlike me, who was worried that Ari might die while being outside in the evening, she looked quite resolute.

Soon Ari lowered her voice and said,

“Well, I stole the beads.”

“Huh?”

Unknowingly, my voice rose and soon recovered with a quick cough.

“When did you succeed?”

“It’s been a while. Actually, that’s why I came here to tell you this quickly.”

“But it could have been delivered by letter….”

If she was worried about anyone seeing the letter, she could write it in Korean and sent it.

If she had written “ᄉᄀ” without a long explanation, I would have understood it.

(T/N : from 성공 mean success)

“Ay, no. I need to report this news myself.”

“But.”

“And I don’t care if I die once or twice. I brought some beads. In case of emergency, please return the day with this.”

‘Why is she so bold?’

Ari, who said so, paused for a moment.

Her voice trembled out suddenly.

“Maybe I’m already dead. Maybe you’ve used the bead and bring me back alive, did you?”

“…….”

“Maybe, in fact, I’ve been saying this for a second time or…?”

“Relaxed—it’s not like that.”
