A Sequel for the Villainess? Chapter 4

After meeting with me, because Zack could not go inside the women refuge, I went to the store to listen to this idiot who started making a marriage proposal.

I just heard about the meeting with my father. Hey, that is dangerous!!

This muscle idiot and my father met yesterday…

"Julia! This is serious! The Duke is here! Let the Director go back to the institution!"

He came-. My rosy commoner life was over-. That muscle idiot, I'll tighten his neck! Put a collar on it, and whip him…

Though I was sluggishly holding out, I was dragged by the little ones… Come on-, because you were doing such a cute face to take me to gallows---.

"Julitan! Oh- my angel"

Yes, I was meeting again with my mother in heaven.

She was rubbing her tears from her cheeks. The middle-aged generous beauty was making a regretful face. Thus, my father and the muscle idiot for some reason were shedding tears together…

Only the Director was cool, standing there with cold eyes.

"Lediz. Release Julia"

The Director was my hero.

"Ye, yes… But Julitan, take papa's hands. Julitan surely didn't eat enough, Julitan surely has vitamins deficiency~"

"…Yes. I also wanted to see papa…"

"Julitan!"

This time, I was surely hugged tightly by my dead mother…

"Julia. Do not pamper Lediz. Lediz too, you are prohibited from interviewing Julia"

"Ye, yes, Director"

"Ye, yes, Empress Dowager Debra"

No----

I turned pale at my father's words.

"I talked impolitely, not knowing you were the Empress Dowager, please dispose of this body however you want!"

I brushed off the hands of my father, and paid my respect to the royal family, kneeling on the floor. Even though it was one year ago, my lady's manners were stuck to every corners of my body.

"Julia, sit next to Lediz. I am the Director and your guardian"

"Ye, yes. Director"

My overflowing tears were about to come out.

"Julia. You are a Duke's daughter. You have the obligation to attend the coming of age ceremony as a member of aristocracy"

"Bu, but, my engagement with the second Prince was cancelled, my sin was the injury of the future Crown Princess. I will be executed if I go to the coming of age ceremony"

Just now the anger of my father who was sitting next to me was transmitted acutely… I'm, I'm sorry… to be such a disappointing daughter…

"Julia will never get executed! Let's exile to the Sith country together with this father!"

"Eh?"

"Wait a minute! Lediz! Julia is innocent. His Majesty the King knows it too. Let the matter between Julia and the Prince to his Majesty and me. You should make arrangements regarding your wife and your son"

"Eh, of course. I will make them regret their whole life their sin of hurting my cute Julitan"

Wow—. Although I didn't understand their talk, my father was scattering an aura of terror, different than before.

"Until the coming of age ceremony, Julia will live here like before"

"Ha? Why? Does it mean that I have to live apart from my cute Julitan!?"

"Lediz. This place is good for Julia's safety. Besides, shouldn't you gradually let go of her? Because Julia will become an adult and of marriable age. I think the opportunity is just right"

Marriage? There was no one who would have such strange taste as to want to accept a girl whose engagement was broken off with the Prince.

"No. She just had this annoying engagement with the Prince cancelled. Julitan should live her whole life with papa!"

Err-. Wasn't father angry about the cancellation?

"Father! Please allow me to make Julisama happy!"

Ha? The muscle idiot was here too.

"When did I become your father! I don't allow it! You are the successor of a Count. My Julitan won't be your bride for your self-interest"

"The inheritance will be transferred to my younger brother!"

"… Is that so… you have quite the spirit. Hmm.

This sly girl has succeeded seducing you, did you recognize the beauty of my cute Julitan? You pulled away the stick on your road to success being off Prince's associates, also threw away your social status as a Count, because you want Julitan.

For me, you are ideal but… Julitan should be the one to choose her marriage partner.

But as things are, I allow you to be by her side so you can protect Julitan!"

"Yes! I will gladly oblige!"

…

"…This sultry discussion, don't do it like I am not here"

I am sorry, Director…
