Revenge of Reborn Villainess

Yurie already realized that the situation was turning against them.

Looking at Kallian, whose eyebrows were stiffened, Eshika, who had been observing him with a firm gaze, leaned closer to Sella’s face and asked.

“Sella, who is the person who hit your sister and injured her leg?”

Although her tone was gentle, the aftermath of the answer to that question would be tremendous.

Kallian, standing frozen, looked at Sella.

He regretted calling Eshika to this place.

He had foreseen a victory, but all he got was defeat.

Appealing not to answer, a plea mixed with despair was wrapped around Kallian’s purple eyes.

However, Sella calmly and plainly answered.

“It was the late Duchess”

“…!”

Kallian’s hand trembled.

Yurie asked Sella, almost poking her.

“Why are you here accusing the late Duchess of abuse, when you came here to expose Eshika?!”

“No? I didn’t say who I was beaten by, I just said that my sister and her maids were abused.”

Sella’s confident response raised Yurie’s eyebrows.

“You… you…”

“You speak for yourself, Head Maid . You were really beaten by the late Duchess, are you sure?”

And then, Sella’s counterattack continued.

Yurie was taken aback.

The situation had already turned around. If Sella brings her sister and shows the scars, Yurie will understand… that she lied, and if Kallian loses interest, the dream she had held for so long would crumble.

Yet, if she honestly said it was Leona, handling the aftermath would be difficult.

“Why aren’t you answering? Head Maid?”

With Sella’s words, Yurie couldn’t say anything and was trembling with her fists.

“Well… Well, there are countries where maids who submit fake resignation letters can’t say anything because they are afraid of the late Duchess’s punishment, right? Everything you say is a lie.”

Damn it, things shouldn’t be like this.

But there’s no way out.

“…….”

Kallian still kept his mouth shut, staring at the situation.

Yurie does not answer Sella’s question.

The reason she doesn’t answer is probably because Sella’s words are true.

His violet eyes were filled with dark and deep confusion.

“His Lordship pledged his honor to resolve my sister’s injustice. I believe in Lord Klaus’s honor!”

Sella’s voice was heard.

Kallian tasted bitterness on his lips.

“…”

Certainly, that’s how it was. This was a threat against Eshika.

Kallian’s gaze shifted to Yurie.

Now, he couldn’t escape from Eshika.

“…Tell the truth. Yurie.”

Yurie’s shoulders flinched at Kallian’s angry tone.

Intense thoughts filled Yurie’s mind, as in moments of war.

If she didn’t handle this moment well, her relationship with Kallian might end.

The thought that this moment was the most urgent and desperate among them all rose to the top.

So, there was no other way.

“…I’m sorry, Your Lordship.”

Yurie sank to his knees, kneeling on the floor.

She began to sob uncontrollably.

“I was concerned about the neglect of the relationship between Your Lordship and the late Duchess…”

Yurie was undoubtedly skilled in victim acting.

“I couldn’t tell the truth.”

Kallian’s chest dropped deeply again, making a thudding sound.

Eshika lowered himself, his lips twisted at the sight of Yurie crying with her knees on the ground.

Kallian asked with deeply furrowed brows.

Coldness emanated from his body.

“……So you’re saying you framed your friend?”

“Not that… Uh, I was scared too, Your Lordship…”

Yurie pleaded, lifting her skirt with a pained expression.

There was only one thing Yurie could do now.

“If I confess my mistakes, I might really die next time…”

She was establishing a route by begging for sympathy from Kallian.

However, Kallian’s gaze towards her was cold.
