Revenge of Reborn Villainess

Marshal Alhemitz, she was one of Leona’s closest friends.

Beside Marshal was Lady Volan Palmarnia, and the same applied to her.

Leona, Marshal, Volan. This trio used to make Eshika, the former, tremble with fear.

The fateful encounter began when Eshika got into trouble for giving significant gifts to the three on Leona’s first birthday after her marriage.

“Giving a blue pearl as a gift, do you know what that means?”

“I… I… In the Prifhartz region, a blue pearl symbolizes beauty and longevity….”

“Now I understand why Duchess Klaus is disappointed. You need a lot of education, my lady.”

In Terres, a blue pearl meant ‘jealousy.’

Leona temporarily employed Marshal and Volan for Eshika’s education.

But it wasn’t education, it was closer to torment.

“It’s too cold. Please let me go inside…!” she begged pleadingly.

“Oh, as the Duchess, you can’t even enter a room properly?”

Marshal, who practiced the correct posture, wore a thick fur coat, while Eshika, in almost sleepwear, was trained for hours to walk outside while it was snowing.

“I’m hungry. If you could give me a bit more…” she begged again. 

She did not eat for the whole day because there was no food. 

“Maintaining a good figure is a basic etiquette for a noble lady. Your mother, who is practically a commoner, probably never received such education.”

Volan, who had a waist twice the size of Eshika’s and survived each day with a bread the size of a thumb, was forced to extend her life.

It was evident who the head tormentors were.

Leona Klaus, the Duchess of Klaus.

In the early days of marriage, Eshika lost the will to rebel against their torment.

If she didn’t do as they said, cruel punishments followed…

To survive, she had to do as ordered.

“Now, it’s somewhat tolerable.”

Marshal and Volan laughed mockingly with these words during the last lesson.

“Still doesn’t suit Klaus. Hohohoho!”

Eshika’s once lively cheeks became rough, and dark shadows appeared under her eyes.

When the lively appearance of the young Duchess disappeared completely, they ended their education.

Even after that, the two women occasionally came to the Duchy to meet Leona. On days when their shadows were visible, Eshika trembled in her room.

“…”

Her face turned pale as she pulled the blanket up. This would be Eshika Klaus’s last face…

But to Marshal, Eshika looked different today.

With a dignified and confident face, she met their eyes without avoiding them.

Volan also raised an eyebrow at Eshika’s unshrinking appearance.

“I came to congratulate Count Alhemitz’s imperial medal on behalf of the Duchess.”

And with a nonchalant, indifferent voice.

‘What is this?’

Marshal frowned slightly, pondering for a moment about this disconcerting feeling.

When she heard that Eshika was coming instead, she had some expectations of how frightened that woman would be.
