[Part 2] Death Is The Only Ending For The Villain (FOR OFFLINE READING PURPOSE)

I came up to my room and saw the two knights standing tall in front of the door. 'They look like prison guards, not knights.'

I went coldly past the frowning, silent ones and entered my room. Emily, who had just finished fixing the bed, welcomed me.

"You've come back, Miss?"

I feel sorry for Emily's hard work, but I immediately laid down on my neat bed. Noticing that I wasn't feeling well, she cautiously asked.

"Is there anything you want for lunch? I'll tell the chef." "Emily."

"Yes, yes?"

"What does she do all day?"

The good news is that the heroine can't get out of the mansion either. Just a moment ago, the Duke himself told me that he has no intention of announcing her return not until her coming-of-age ceremony.

"Shall I ask Becky?"

Emily lowered her voice when she understood me. I nodded.

"Not too much detail. Just simply ask her what she's doing at the moment, how she's spending the day at the duchy."

"Yes, my lady. I'll be right back!" Emily quickly left the room.

After a few minutes... "My lady..."

Emily, as she said, came back quickly and told me the news.

"In order to regain her memories, during the day, she'll follow her maid around the mansion and after dinner, she'll go out for walk alone."

"Without a maid?" "Yes."

"She's headed for the woods, right?" "How did you know?"

Emily opened her eyes wide and bit back.

'Isn't it too obvious that she's going to see Eclise?' "What is she doing now?"

"Uhm.."

Emily hesitated a little in answering my question. Then, she opened her mouth and looked at me urging her to answer.

"She's having tea with the Young Duke."

I understand why she hesitated to answer.

She was worried that I would be hurt because I looked unhappy right after I came back from a meeting with the Duke.

But to my surprise, I really didn't even care. "Of course you'll have your lunch separately."

"It's alright. I have one more favor to ask of you Emily."

I quickly stopped Emily, who was trying to give me comfort. "Oh, what is it?"

"Give me your clothes."

Emily, who heard my whisper, asked me with her eyes wide open. "Well, why's that?"

"Why? Because I have something to care about." "But what if you get caught right away?"

"Don't worry. Just do as I told."

"Okay, miss. It's a secret escape, isn't it?"

Emily still seems confused but she nodded her head gently "I'll get it immediately!"

Contrary to her concerns, she was strangely filled with determination as she left the room again quickly.

'Now all I have to do is sneak out of here...'

There's no other choice but to climb the wall again. This is the second time I'm escaping because of him.

'Damn, how troublesome just for that son of a bitch.' I looked at the canister with gloomy eyes.
