The Villainess Lives Twice

Chapter 53

Proofreader: xoxomonami

The wedding came to an end.

It was a wonderful and splendid wedding, worthy of the reputation of the Grand Duke Evron.

The Empress held the bride’s hand and the Emperor held the groom’s hand. That alone is an incomparably honorable wedding.

About half of the guests would have had different thoughts. However, no one had any unpleasant thoughts about this marriage. Everyone congratulated them with bright faces.

The reception was magnificent. All the guests danced, ate and drank. The knights cheered, and the employees’ feast was held separately.

Ansgar, in the name of Grand Duke Evron and Marchioness Rosan, served the slums with plenty of alcohol and food.

It went smoothly without anything ruined.

The Empress left before the reception began. As she left, she said:

[I’ll watch you.]

Artizea wasn’t very worried. Because she was confident she would keep her promise.

The Emperor left shortly after the Empress rose. At the reception, he danced a song with Artizea after Cedric.

He said after congratulating her.

[Now, I shouldn’t be calling you Tia carelessly.]

[How would the Grand Duchess Evron claim my name in front of His Majesty’s glory? Since the Grand Duke is your Majesty’s nephew, I will be honored if you treat me like your niece.]

Then the Emperor laughed.

[Okay. I’ll keep doing that. That would also be an honor to you.]

[I’m overwhelmed with awe.]

[Tia, I knew you were smart, but I didn’t know you were so bold.]

[I have never tried to deceive Your Majesty. Believe me.]

[No, that doesn’t mean I’m disappointed, I just realized refreshingly that even at this age, my eyes that see people aren’t perfect.]

[I’m overwhelmed with awe.]

[Cedric is straightforward. Such a character is an advantage, but there is a side that does not suit the secular capital. He’s a good man, so take care of him so that he doesn’t get harmed.]

[Yes.]

[And.… Don’t hate her too much. That poor Miraila.]

The Emperor said so and left.

He seemed to already know that Miraila had come to the wedding and she was chased off by Lawrence.

The Emperor was not the only one who noticed.

Marchioness of Camellia and Grand Duke Roygar also approached and spoke about it in a quiet manner.

[Because men are simple. They might think that it was because of Sir Lawrence that Her Majesty the Empress was present at the wedding instead of the Marchioness of Rosan. Not only did Sir Lawrence have a chance to see Her Majesty, they’re going to think there’s a potential for the brother and sister, as Her Majesty has made you her lady-in-waiting.]

[……]

[But Her Majesty the Empress’s cannot accept Sir Lawrence. Men often mistake a woman to love the child’s father for life when a woman has children.]

[What do you want to say?]

[If anyone knows how important the Marquis of Rosan’s role was playing this time, they will know the true meaning of what you have done…]

[I do not know. I’m not that proud of being separated from my mother.]

[By the way, I’m glad that the present I gave you is worth it. Did you receive the statue of the Saintess for your wedding? Please show me when you come back from your honeymoon. I’m very curious, so is Grand Duchess Roygar because she’s never seen it before.]

Grand Duchess Roygar was also sisters with the Marchioness Camellia.

[Today, it was such an event, so she just greeted you for a while, but I will arrange a proper meeting next time. Congratulations on your wedding. Have fun on your honeymoon.]

Marchioness Camelia greeted with a smile.

Since then, she has been greeted and congratulated with countless people.

She had to dance a total of 5 songs with Cedric, and then Lawrence and then Grand Duke Roygar.

By the time she left the reception with fatigue, she was exhausted.

Artizea and Cedric left while the reception was in full swing.

Then she simply changed clothes and got on the boat. It was to go to the port city, which can be called the entrance to the capital.

In the port there was a mansion of the Grand Duke Evron.

It was much more convenient and faster to travel by sea than through land to get to Evron Grand Duchy. That’s why they had middle-of-the-road accommodation.

After sleeping there for one night, they were going to board the boat headed for the Grand Duchy.

By the time they arrived at the mansion, it was already after sunset.

Cedric was kidnapped by a group of knights celebrating the wedding the second time.

Artizea was exhausted and headed to the room where she was led to.

The maids prepared bath water and clothes to change. In the meantime, Artizea tried to rethink her wedding.

There was no problem. All the desired objectives have been achieved.

‘Now I just need to check the result.’

Alice pulled the door open and called.

“Lady.”

“Hmm?”

“Oh no, no. You’re the madame now? Oh, I love it. You’re not the lady anymore, you’re a madame.”

Artizea smiled.

“Is the bath ready?”

“Oh, yes, so is that. Sir Freil is here.”

“Let him in.”

“Yes.”

Because of this, she was waiting without taking off her uncomfortable clothes.

Freil came in. Seeing Artizea, he hesitated.

“Well, how should I greet you now? Grand Duchess? Lady Heiress?”

“Say as you feel comfortable.”

“Then Grand Duchess….”

Freil politely bowed his head and greeted her lightly. And reported.

“Madam Rosan went home right away from the wedding hall. I’ve checked it myself, and you don’t have to worry about being noticed.”

“I see.”

Since Bill was no more, there must have been no one to complain to.

“His Majesty the Emperor also went straight from the wedding hall to the Rosan mansion. I came back after confirming that.”

“What about brother?”

“Sir Lawrence has returned to the house of Baroness Andeman, where he is living now.”

Artizea sighed.

Being rejected by Lawrence is like being denied by life itself. She must have had a tremendous shock.

After the wedding, it would be nice for him to go to look for her.

She was the one who made these calculative moves, but she didn’t feel very good about it.

Apart from that feeling, it was ultimately a good thing.

Lawrence was not allowed to meet the Emperor in front of Miraila crying to strengthen the family’s affection.

The Emperor knows the physiology of power and likes to indulge it.

But at the same time, he must show himself as friendly to his son.

Lawrence is no longer the age of joking around on his parents’ lap. He is both a son and a successor to the emperor.

No matter what, his cute age has already passed by. By simply showing a desire for power, he may become like many other servants.

So the right thing Lawrence had to do here was to flatter the Empress in public, and when it’s over, run straight to Miraila.

In front of the Emperor, he can show that he loves Miraila and comfort her with all his might.

Then the Emperor would consider Lawrence’s behavior right and be happy.

Now the Emperor was seated with the Empress with a calm face, but then he got up early and went to Miraila.

Lawrence’s thoughts don’t get there.

‘Well, you don’t know your mother’s role. You don’t know much about His Majesty, too, brother.’

It was enviable that he had lived while being loved so much to afford not to know. And she thought it was stupid.

“Shall I keep watching?”

“If there is any news from brother Lawrence, please let me know. There is no need to keep an eye on him.”

“Yes. “

“More than that, watch my mother. Did Alice tell you about the informant of the Rosan mansion?”

“Yes.”

“Observe and keep an eye on the flow of the situation and record it. You don’t need to do anything in advance. Leave it until I get back.”

“Okay.”

“Don’t forget to get in touch with Rye.”

“I’ll remember it well.”

Freil scratched his head.

“But, don’t you think you’re overworking me?”

“You have to use the talent you have.”

Artizea smiled. Freil sighed.

“Anyway, please, Your Grace, take good care of my master. I am worried that something will happen because this is the first time I’m not following His Grace.”

“It’s in the north. I’m sure Cedric knows much better than me. I’m a stranger to strategy tactics.”

“Did you know that I didn’t mean it that way?”

“Don’t be too anxious anyway. I’ll be right next to him to assist.”

Freil had an ambiguous face.

“Well, how do I say it…. I’m not saying that you have to serve His Grace.”

“I’m just talking about the real thing. So, is this the end of the story?”

“Yes. “

“I won’t be able to see you for a while. In the meantime, stay healthy and work hard.”

Artizea raised her body. Freil replied to her with a military salute.

And he said in a polite manner.

“Congratulations on your wedding. I was relieved that Your Grace became the Grand Duchess Evron.”

“Because you don’t think I’m going to ruin the Grand Duke Evron?”

“And I think you’re going to ruin someone I don’t like.”

Artizea smiled. Then she greeted Freil in return and headed to the bathroom.

And as Artizea came out of the bathroom, she encountered a terrifying reality.

“It’s the first night.”

Sophie, with her cheeks dyed red, came out with her pajamas shyly.

Those pink pajamas were terribly lovely.

It was shiny, but it didn’t look too glossy or shiny.

The body line and pale-colored underlayer were thin enough to be slightly reflected, but the underlayer was not visible explicitly.

The sleeves were slightly inflated and had frills. The hem of the skirt, which reaches the knee, naturally widens and spreads like a morning glory. One turn, it would be wrapped around the legs.

The chest wasn’t open. However, if only the ribbon tied over the chest was untied, the clothes would fall under her feet.

“Sophie, what the hell is this?”

Sophie replied to Artizea’s absurd question.

“It’s pajamas. This is the latest fashion for bridal pajamas.”

“Did Emily say that?”

“It’s true that it’s the latest fashion. And it’s perfect for a real bride’s pajamas! Come on!”

Artizea felt dizzy.

Sophie didn’t know, because she believed it was a love marriage, so she wouldn’t even think that nothing would happen the first night.

“Bring other clothes.”

“Shall I bring the white one? There is also light blue.”

Sophie said with excitement at Artizea’s words.

“I think pink is good, but I think light blue will suit you too. The master will love whatever you wear. You will be cute and sexy!”
