The Villainess Hides Her Wealth - Chapter 99.1
Chapter 99.1
“…”
“Aha, your face is red.”
Yuria couldn’t say a single word. Her expression was that of someone so cautious they didn’t dare say anything.
“Alright. It must be something difficult to say since I’m his younger sister. I understand everything.”
Princess Vivian asked first as she pleased and accepted it as she pleased.
But even after seeing that, Yuria couldn’t say anything.
***
After parting ways with Princess Vivian, I quietly muttered her question to myself.
What do I think of Crown Prince Enoch?
What did she mean by asking that?
‘… How could I dislike someone like His Highness?’
That’s right. I don’t dislike him.
But I knew it wasn’t a question where I could just give that simple answer.
“Ugh…”
In fact, I had felt before that my feelings towards the crown prince were unusual.
Then, Sir Vieira, my former fiancé, appeared.
“Answer me. Why would I not accept Lady Primrose’s handkerchief?”
Why did I think I liked someone like him? I must have given up my pride to get engaged to him.
It was only once, but the memory of that failure was so disastrous that I cringed even more.
“Will the Lady give me a handkerchief as a blessing so I can hunt for you?”
Liking someone was too scary and dangerous, so I pretended not to know and made up my mind.
But in the end, I decided to admit it.
No, it would be right to say that I realized that my emotions had grown to the point where I had no choice but to admit them.
‘But even so, what can I do about it?’
But as I listened to the princess’ words, I changed her mind. Maybe I was actually hoping that she would give me a little push.
At the same time as I am afraid of being hurt, Crown Prince Enoch makes me stronger.
‘I don’t want to sit and do nothing anymore.’
Lilika and I had something in common in that we helped his sister, Princess Vivian.
And in the novel “Please Love the Poor Princess!“ I read, Lilika and the crown prince had a good atmosphere around them. Of course… the novel was still unfinished, so it’s not like anything happened.
It was described that Lilika seemed to care about him, and at this rate, he would become the main male character.
‘I can’t give up just because Lilika is the heroine.’
If it was according to the novel in the first place, I was a villainess who had died while tormenting my younger sister.
I wanted to change that fate. I didn’t have the slightest intention of conforming to the predetermined story.
‘In the end, if I don’t do anything, nothing will change.’
I was quick to make up my mind, overshadowing my hesitation until now. And so, I immediately contacted the crown prince.
I was scared of my resolve being shaken up halfway through, so I asked to meet only a few hours later in the evening. Fortunately, he seemed to have some free time and agreed to meet.
And he was the first to appear at the meeting place.
‘I did tell him it was okay to refuse if it was too much to ask…’
I gazed at him. I realized he had a cold impression when he was expressionless. He always had a gentle smile when he looked at me, so I had no idea.
His sharp jawline, graceful nose bridge, and gaze overlooking the lake in the autumn breeze. Although he had the status of a crown prince, he seemed like a difficult person to reach in the first place.
‘He looks great.’
That was why I wanted to show him this scenery.
A quiet and peaceful atmosphere that makes you forget the anxiety of the world. No sounds could be heard other than some unknown bugs crying.
There was just a calm ripple on the surface of the water reflecting the moon when the wind blew.
‘What is he thinking now?’
But until now, I had never considered him to be a cold person. And that thought was all made by Crown Prince Enoch.
I wanted to know why he made such an impression on me.
I wanted him to tell me…
“Ah, Lady.”
Feeling a presence, he turned his head. A refreshing smile. I was glad to see his smiling eyes.
The cold and arrogant appearance I saw when he was dealing with Sir Vieira was still vivid in my mind, but it suited him surprisingly well.
‘That’s not how he treats me.’
I smiled as naturally as I could, trying to pull the tension away from my body.
“I met Her Highness earlier; she seems to be well… That’s a relief.”
“Thanks to the Lady’s concern.”
