My Ex-Fiancée Is the Female Lead in the Romance Novel

chapter 17



17 – Villain?

To be precise, the young ladies around her were already glancing at Seria, but her interest and gaze became even more explicit.

“Oh, Lady Argenta, what’s going on?”

Ceria glared fiercely at her Lady Rosemary, who was staring at her with her face half-covered by her fan, leaving only her eyes open. She was a purple fan that seemed to match her hair.

Seria is short and basic, but she has been practicing swordsmanship for quite some time. There was no way that an ordinary aristocratic lady who had been drinking tea and playing in her mansion all her life could easily endure her Seria’s spirit.

Her young ladies, who were whispering around her Seria, inadvertently backed away from her Seria’s sense of coercion.

Seria saw that and she regained her composure a little. That they behaved like that was evidence that she herself was getting too excited.

Seria took a deep breath and approached Lady Rosemary.

“Lady Rosemary, Cesar just broke up with me. Didn’t you think it would be rude to tell him about him in front of me?”

“Ah! I’m sorry. I was a little short on my thoughts…”

If you listen this far, you could say that Lady Rosemary has taken a step back. However, as if she was not willing to back down, she added another word behind her.

“I knew that Lady Argenta had left her heart for the 2nd prince… I didn’t expect her to be offended by Cesar’s story.”

“Surely I said earlier that I had nothing to do with the prince. I wonder if he has a hearing problem.”

Despite Seria’s sarcastic remarks, Lady Rosemary maintained her expressionless expression. No, to be precise, Seria did not see Lady Rosemary’s expression hidden behind her fan. However, she took it for granted that Lady Rosemary would be expressionless when she had seen the cases so far.

Come to think of it, Seria and Lady Rosemary’s fights always went like this. It’s been the same way since childhood.

After Lady Rosemary beat her enough to beat her, when Seria counterattacked, she didn’t show any reaction. Her attitude angered Seria even more.

Lady Rosemary, who was gently shaking her fan, got up from her seat. Seria felt severely displeased with her move to go somewhere else after provoking Seria. However, since she was Lady Rosemary who apologized, there was no room for her to criticize her, and since it was a tea party where not many ladies from Seria’s faction attended, Seria decided to put up with it a bit.

The next time she met, she was Seria, who promised to fight back with her clique, the young ladies.

But when she returned to her mansion and heard that Lady Rosemary had visited the writer after Lombardi, Seria finally exploded.

After sending Lady Rosemary away, another uninvited guest came to visit me.

“Cesar-sama, Lady Argenta came to visit…”

“Send it back.”

Upon hearing the news delivered by the house owner, I ordered Seria to order her guests without much hesitation. The time was now approaching 12 o’clock. I was just about to go to sleep, but there is no reason to go to bed with Seria and her uncomfortable mood.

The meeting with Lady Rosemary earlier had no cause for refusal, so she had no choice but to accept it, but Seria was different from that.

No one would criticize her for refusing to let her cheating fiancee come to see her. And there are things that went wrong with Argenta, so there was no need to think about the face of Seria and her duke.

“Yes. All right.”

The head butler also answered me in an unsurprising tone, as if it was an expected answer.

“Oh, no. Just listen to the business and come. I’m curious what you’re talking about.”

* * *

“So, Cesar-nim asked me to briefly tell you about the matter.”

Seria inadvertently bit her lip at the butler’s words. Why did he meet Rosemary and be so cold to himself?

Of course, it was only natural that Cesar wouldn’t meet her because it was late, but Seria didn’t have the mind to even think about that fact.

Seria felt a bit miserable. She wanted to go in and see César, even screaming at once to save face.

“Ask César why Rosemary works and I don’t.”

“I said, but it was too late. Please tell me briefly about your business.”

“Then will you meet me when I come back tomorrow?”

As Seria said those words, she felt herself so ugly. She had never imagined that the fact that her only César had met her Lady Rosemary would make herself this way.

The butler in front of her was looking at Seria like a strange person. She closed her eyes as Seria thought she couldn’t help it. Come to think of it, she said it was too late.

Feeling a little sorry for her knight who accompanied her, Seria thought she had no choice but to take a step back.

“Then, tell Cesar not to meet Lady Rosemary.”

Then the head butler replied to Seria with a look that he couldn’t help it.

“For now… I understand, so please go back quickly.”

She wondered if she should be treated like this even by someone who was only the owner of the house, but Seria couldn’t bear to shout at the owner of Lombardi.

The fear that she might be hated by Cesar if she acted like that was the underlying thought of her, but she was still under the floor of her box because Seria noticed it.

The Arit people are a foreign race based in the eastern part of the empire.

However, their base, which has increased their strength and attacked the eastern part of the empire, has long since changed to a city on the border of the empire.

“Wow… But I guess I can control myself well.”

4 The princess let out exclamations as she walked through the streets of Calper, the temporary home of the Arit tribe, which seemed somewhat well-organized.

“Even a foreigner should not be looked down upon. They too have their own wisdom and way of living.”

“Yes, of course.”

At Duke Flair’s nagging, Elysia replied with a puzzled expression.

“Why are you making that face? These are all words for the princess.”

“Ah! All right. Stop it.”

As Duke Flair, who belonged to a young aristocrat, they both expected a pleasant trip, but her expectations and Duke Flair’s appearance did not match at all.

A typical example of a young kkondae, Elysia was about to get fed up with Duke Flare a long time ago.

“Lena… Do something with Duke Flair.”

Duke Flair frowned at Elysia as she clung to Lena, crying.

“As a member of the imperial family, it is not good to rely on others…”

“Oh, shut up.”

Duke Flair’s old-fashioned nagging went away as soon as Lena spoke in a cold voice. And Duke Flair stuck out his mouth a bit in a pout and muttered to himself.

“I’m trying to be of help to the princess…”

At first, Lena thought it wouldn’t be bad if she formed a good relationship with Duke Flair, so she treated her kindly.

Lena, can you really do this? No matter what, the name is duke…”

At Elisia’s whisper, Lena smiled. Her smile was filled with gratitude that the princess thought of her Lena and her own position.

“It’s okay.”

From Lena’s point of view, Duke Flair wasn’t a person with a long back. If he had such a petty personality, he would not have stuck to the emperor’s side and played the role of the last loyalist.

As Duke Flair didn’t open his mouth, their pace quickened. It was not an official envoy, and the 4th princess did not receive proper support, so it was a procession of such a shabby size that it was hard to see it as an escort led by an imperial princess.

Once they entered the center of the city, Elysia could see the Irit people standing to greet them.

“Thank God! I was worried that I would come back because I was a woman, but you did a good job getting this far!”

Elysia focused her gaze on the person who looked like the chieftain of the Irits, smiling broadly and not wearing a top, like a pervert.

But then she had no choice but to turn her gaze elsewhere.

“Uhh… Shouldn’t you shave your hair a bit…”

Of course, the sound was so small that even Lena, who was next to her, couldn’t hear it, so the chieftain of the Rit tribe couldn’t hear it, but if he heard it, it was a dangerous moment that could shake the table of negotiations from the beginning.
