The Crazy Villainess in This Area Is Me

I comforted him by patting his back. With a melancholic smile, Frinel looked at me intently with a serious expression. I did not avoid his gaze.

Frinel’s hand stealthily moved towards my waist. I chuckled and slapped his hand away with a smack.

“Always looking for an opportunity when you get the chance.”

“Just kidding. The mood got too serious.”

“Serious? It’s a good thing.” I playfully pouted but spoke gently. “Knowing there was someone who loved you enough to give up their life for you… that’s a happy thing.”

“You’re right. I’m really happy now. Lobelia.” Frinel nodded, smiling back at me in agreement.

However, at that moment, a shadow of darkness fell over my face. I slightly pushed him away and spoke hesitantly. “…I’m… not ready yet.”

“

?”

“The trash of the Hamilton family is still wide awake.”

Without realizing it, my teeth clenched. Kriella might soon meet a miserable end, but Magorit and Endimion were still around. Merely taking their wealth and causing them to divorce wasn’t enough to appease me.

“Lobelia…”

The pain in their bodies was one thing, but they also needed to feel the shattering pain in their hearts like I had.

“Only by witnessing their complete ruin can my heart finally find peace.”

My platinum lashes trembled mournfully. I closed my mouth for a moment before looking up again. Frinel’s expression had turned even worse than mine.

I hurriedly spoke again. “After that…” Then, I grasped his cheeks and made eye contact with him. “We can be happy. With you and my children.”

My eyes softly closed. Only then did a smile return to Frinel’s face.

“Yes. Destroy everything as much as you want.”

“Not much longer now. The debutante ball is coming soon.”

“I’m really looking forward to seeing their reactions.”

“

, Frinel, you have a task too.”

As if I remembered something, I rummaged through my clutch. Out came the key to the March Hamilton’s storeroom.

“Give Magorit this key on the day of my debutante ball. And don’t meet her under any excuse of being busy until then.”

Of course, there was nothing left inside. The entirety of the Hamilton family’s wealth consisted only of the large mansion and this one golden key.

“Sure. I’ll be busy with the coronation preparations anyway.

, I’ll meet her once before that. It’s customary to return a favor when receiving a handkerchief at a swordsmanship competition.”

“

, okay. The debutante ball is the day after the coronation, right?”

“Yes. Noble ladies usually have their debutante balls at the imperial palace, but it’s different for the duke’s daughters.”

Typically, nobles gathered at the imperial palace for their debutante balls. Preparing for the debutante ball took a lot of gold due to the cost of jewels and dresses. Therefore, except for houses like the Duke Gracie, it was rare to host a ball in honor of the debutante ball.

“You just need to prepare to welcome the guests here.”

“Understood.

, and one more thing.”

“

?”

“Endimion will soon file for divorce.”

“Divorce?”

At the word ‘divorce,’ his eyes widened.

“Yes. Foolishly, Magorit thinks anything but divorce is acceptable. So, we must ensure they divorce.” I smirked lightly as I spoke.

“Excellent idea. Normally, the emperor mediates divorces of high nobility, but I’ll see to it that it’s processed immediately.” Frinel smiled satisfactorily.

Having this beautiful woman as his lover still felt like a dream. After the debutante ball, he would definitely make a ‘formal proposal.’ Suppressing the urge to embrace her right away, he merely fiddled with the back of her hand.

“Thank you, Frinel.”

Unaware of Frinel’s emotions, she thanked him and lightly kissed his lips. It felt as if his rationale snapped in half.

“

…”

He whined like a puppy, exhaling deeply. Truthfully, he was dying to hold this adorable woman. But having made a big deal out of it, he couldn’t go back on his word as a man.

“Why?”

“Just a little more…” Whispering softly, Frinel scooped up Lobelia’s waist.

“

!”

He placed her on the desk and gently kissed her. Their lips intertwined as if they had been waiting for this moment. After indulging in each other for a while, their moist lips finally parted.

“

? Just a bit more.”

He was still unsatisfied. With a languid look in his eyes, Frinel pleaded like a child. He pressed his lips to me once more. Though I said she didn’t want it today, the kisses with Frinel were too sweet to push away.

Eventually, I wrapped my arms around his neck.

“

…!” With a groan, I grimaced slightly.

Chelsea, who was pressing on my waist, asked curiously. “What did Madam do last night?”

“…I moved some things.” I tried to pretend to be calm and lied.

In the end, I ended up spending a frenzied night with Frinel by my own will. I had planned to sleep at the March Hamilton but couldn’t get up in the morning, so I had to call Chelsea.

“Oh my, if Madam had such tasks, you should have asked us to help…”

“Why bother others for something I can do myself?” I laughed awkwardly, feeling somewhat guilty.

“I’ll ask for some good medicine for your back.”

“Thank you, Chelsea.

, is Jack alright?”

“Yes. Thanks to your support, Madam, he’s currently resting at home. His youngest child is fully recovered now.”

“… That’s good to hear.”

“I’ll bring you the medicine then.”

“Yes.”

Chelsea bowed and left the room.

I got up from the bed and stretched my body. After the massage, fortunately, I felt much better than before.

“Now, shall I go?”

The emperor’s coronation was soon, and after that, my debutante ball would begin. I needed to ensure Endimion and Magorit divorced before then.

I bathed in warm water and changed into a neat dress. As I was combing my hair, Chelsea returned with the medicine.

“Madam, here’s your medicine.”

“Thank you.

, right. Was there any news last night?”

“News? What kind of news?” She looked puzzled, as if she knew nothing.

Well, I wouldn’t want to kill the villainess who murdered my parents in one go either. But just in case, I thought I should check and gulped down the medicine Chelsea brought.

“Shall I braid your hair?”

“

, I can do it myself today. I won’t be wearing any special decorations.”

I gently refused Chelsea’s offer and stood up. “Has Endimion returned?”

“

, yes. He returned early yesterday morning. Probably, still slee—”

“Thank you, Chelsea.”

I cut her off and headed to Endimion’s bedroom. I entered without knocking. Only the sound of his soft breathing filled the quiet room. My gaze turned icy as I looked at him.

My hand moved towards Endimion’s neck without me realizing it.

He always knew nothing. If you speak kindly, his head was filled with flowers; truthfully, it was filled with trash. He only knew what benefited him and ignored the disadvantages. How comfortable his life must be.

When my fingertips finally touched his neck,

“

…”

Endimion’s eyes slowly opened.

“

, Lobelia?”

But my hand quickly withdrew. I spoke sweetly to him. “Did you sleep well?”

“

.. It’s nice to see you as soon as I wake up.”

Endimion stretched his arms as if to embrace me. However, Lobelia slapped his hand away.

“I have something to tell you, Honey.”

“…Honey?”

Endimion tilted his head slightly. Currently, her memory is spotty. Didn’t she tell him not to call her ‘Lia’?

“Divorce Magorit and marry me.”

“

…? What do you mean…?”

“I’ve remembered everything now.”

Looking at his dumbfounded face, I filled my eyes with tears.

“Endrew…!”

With an utterly desperate voice, I called his false name and threw myself into Endimion’s arms.

“This can’t be. Lia…!”

Seemingly moved, he hugged me even tighter. Unaware that behind his back, I had the intent to kill him just moments ago.
