Methods to Save the Villain Who was Abandoned by the Heroine

'That's poisoned wine….'

While listening to the conversation between the two of those, my attention was focused on the real deal.

The servant slowly poured the wine into the Archduke glass, being careful not to spill it.

Contrary to his training in swordsmanship, the Archduke's slender hand held a gold glass. The Archduke looked like he was drinking wine at any moment.

However, fortunately, he was a formal person, so he put down his wine glass and drank a glass of low alcohol champagne to avoid making a mistake.

"I guess you don't like the wine I prepared. It's a wine that I couldn't get because I asked His Majesty.…"

But who is Riena?

When the Archduke was not willing to drink the wine, she expressed her disappointment and suggested that they drink it.

As soon as Riena mentioned the emperor, the Archduke fine eyebrows frowned.

Ferze and Callan were not on good terms.

This was because the emperor had no children and the Archduke was the heir to the throne.

As the emperor, he had no choice but to be wary of the Archduke.

The emperor's aides warned that "Right now, the Archduke is working hard to subdue monsters, but someday he will revolt."

Ferse was aware of such a situation, so his relationship with the emperor worsened.

Ferze smiled and asked Riena.

"His Majesty…..?"

"Oh, yes. His Majesty gave it to me as a present."

Riena looked into Ferze's eyes while answering.

She often mentioned the emperor because she wanted him to be jealous, but today was a day to be more careful.

Ferze, who raised his glass gracefully, said with a subtle smile around his mouth.

"Please say thank you to His Majesty."

I didn't know you'd give me wine, if I gave you poison. Ferze seemed to think that Callan had always been wary of him and sent a gift out of place.

I thought he wouldn't drink it due to the Archduke's nature of not deviating from the rules he set, but that was my illusion. For what reason did he refuse the wine his fiancé had given him?

It was said to be a gift given by the emperor, but the Archduke couldn't help but drink the wine.

I was nervous as I watched him who didn't think the wine prepared by Riena was poisonous.

Ferze sighed and reached out to lift a glass of wine.

'You can't drink that!'

I muttered to myself with a worried face.

If you drink it, you can't even pay me anymore!

Whether he knew my heart or not, the duke seemed thirsty already.

Is it because Riena brought up the story of Callan and scratched Ferse's insides?

He turned the glass of wine lightly and brought it to his lips.

My heart began to burn with the sight of the Archduke who was about to drink.

It's poison. It's poison. Riena is not the kind woman you think she is!

Even before I shouted, Archduke Ferze's mouth opened first.

"Let's make a toast, Saint Riena."

I was stamping my feet and rushed to the Archduke.

The glass in his hand fell to the floor so easily that it was in vain.

The moment the wine stained the red carpet, Riena wrinkled her face.

"What·······!"

Surprised by the sudden movement, Ferze's eyes widened.

Thinking it was an assassination, the Archduke grabbed my hand at once. It was because i suddenly jumped into his arms.

"Protect the saint."

Immediately, the door opened and the knights rushed in.

They surrounded Riena in an instant. Rienna was also surrounded by the knights of the Archduke House.

Ferze, who turned and confirmed that Riena was safe, made eye contact with me again.

The enemy's intent was evident in the thin eyes of the Archduke.

"I didn't know you'd betray your owner."

The voice, which was not originally high, rang even lower.

The archduke's gaze at me at once became cold.

In the past, there was a situation where the assassin disguised as a maid and sought the life of the Archduke as a guard, so it seemed that he regarded me as an assassin sent by the emperor.

The corners of his mouth went up smoothly and held a smile.

"His Majesty, are you showing me something interesting?"

"If you let go of this hand, I'll show you something more fun."

I meant it. I didn't want to meet the wrong owner and die.

What's more, if the owner was a bad guy who took a lot of money, I would have run away without knowing him while clapping like a seal….

I have to live a long time enjoying simple luxury as a head maid of a powerful family, but I couldn't let the Archduke die here.

At the bold remark, the Archduke narrowed his eyes and immediately let go of my hand. And when his throat burned, he ordered the attendant to bring Chardone wine.

'That tough guy!'

Ferze swallowed a sip of wine before I could dry it.

As soon as his red lips were soaked in wine, I looked at Ferze with eyes full of despair.

I shouted with strength in my small voice.

"Give me a sip, please."

I know what the way you look at me is like. Even though I knew that, I had no choice but to shout desperately for a sip.

If you exceed the lethal dose, you will die, he may be deceived, but I wasn't.

As a maid, I wasn't immune to poison, but as an Archduke with strong mana and stamina, he would definitely have some immunity, if he just drank a little.

Why am I trying to drink poison on behalf of the Archduke?

The answer was because that poison was omnipotent poison, Rovette.

If a person with strong magical powers consumes it, the heart stops, but if people like me drink it, they can catch a cold or get sick for a few days before recovering.

Of course, there are other side effects.

As far as I know, the side effects alone make you old or become smaller like a fairy at 0.01%…..

In fact, wouldn't the odds of winning the lottery in another world be higher than this?

Obviously, it was annoying, so the original author must have roughly named the poisonous herb and randomly decided on the side effects.

Anyway, this was my plan.

Instead of lying down for a few days, he saves Ferse and gets noticed by the Archduke and becomes a head maid!

"You're going to die anyway. What are you so desperate for?"

"So let me have a sip."

If you drink two sips, you'll die instantly. Listen to me.

The Archduke thought for a moment, then removed the wine glass from his mouth and called the knight who was waiting in front of the door.

The aching pain disappeared, and the Archduke's hand that had been clasping my wrist was released.

Instead, the knights, who moved in unison, put chains on my wrists and made my knees bend.

The Archduke's gaze looking down at me was as cold as a piece of ice.

Still, there was no doubt.

There was contempt in the purple eyes fixed on me as if looking at a petty creature.

'Hyuk, I'm scared!'

He was about to send me to the afterlife just with his eyes.

Ferze, who stopped walking right in front of my nose, bowed down.

His hard fingers held my chin slowly.

"You may raise your head."

Ferze had the knights raise my head in oppression.

Sulrp. Light green wine spilled into my half-open mouth.

It's like a wealthy man's kindness to a beggar.

"All. See you next time!"

It was the Riena who was more embarrassed.

She tried to leave her seat at will, perhaps because of the strangely dangerous atmosphere or because of the idea that she was caught attempting an assassination.

Looking at the saint with cool eyes, the duke allowed Riena to go out.

Without caring about her fiancee, Riena, disappearing in a hurry, the duke seemed to be thinking that they should interrogate me.

"His Majesty has no fear."

The Archduke bowed his head and looked down at me with his deep eyes.

It was a cold gaze as if there would be ice caps in the hall.

"Swallow it."

I'm going to drink it anyway.

I drank wine like a person looking for an oasis in the desert.

After swallowing it, I felt like I was about to drink it again.

Ferze licked a light green liquid flowing through the tip of his hand.

At that moment, the Archduke frowned a lot on his handsome face.

"No, you can't. If you drink too much….."

My words were cut off by the Archduke's quick judgment.

"As expected, beheading is better."

It was when Ferze ordered the knights to do something and was about to leave the hall.

Da.

A white fog spread with a "POP" sound.

The hands of the knights who held me were stirring in the air.

"Your Highness! Wha… The asassin!"

I wasn't the only one surprised by the sudden sound.

The knights looked at me and were perplexed, not knowing what to do.

I looked away from them and looked down at my hands.

Something was weird.

Although not large, the thin and elongated fingers were short and small like a pencil.

'Hey, what is this?!'

My hands got smaller! No matter how much I looked at it, it was not the hand of a 17-year-old maid.

Even if you look at it a lot, it's about five or six years old…..

'How am I supposed to do my job when I'm this small?'

Crying, I looked at the palm of my hand, which had become chubby.

Fortunately or unfortunately, it wasn't just my hands that got smaller. Both crouched knees were also smaller.

'What situation is this?'

It was an incredible fact even after seeing it clearly with both eyes.

I just looked down at my small hands and knees with my eyes, and wiggled my hands.

I gradually raised my head due to growing anxiety.

Perhaps because he was a famous Archduke who had many tall knights, Ferze and his knights, who had grown taller from the beginning, grew bigger.

Hey, what is this? I was about to say something, but I felt my tongue shortened. The view was also very low.

My bitten lips, which didn't feel like mine, opened slowly.

Soon, an angled voice leaked out of the mouth.

"Have I turned young?"
