The Crazy Villainess in This Area Is Me

“Killing commoners, what’s so wrong about that?”

 

“Please, at least spare the mansion…!”

 

“

Huhu, huhuhu

…”

 

Thanks to Lobelia’s use of their wealth for good deeds, the Marquis Hamilton family now had not even a single bean left. Stripped of their titles and wealth, Endimion, Kriella, and Magorit were expelled from the mansion, left with nothing.

 

“

Hu

, what do we do? Mari?”

 

He turned towards Magorit. However, she could only giggle by herself, not in any state to give a proper response.

 

“

Hmm

. Oh dear…”

 

Even though his mother was a murderer, at times like this, she would have been of some help. Just as Endimion was about to turn towards Kriella,

 

“We’ve heard the big madam of the Marquis Hamilton family has become a commoner and came to see.”

 

Men of large stature approached them with grim expressions.

 

“W-who are you?”

 

“Who?”

 

“We’ve come for revenge. Your actions caused my pregnant wife to die from stress.”

 

“What? How is your wife’s death any concern of mine! She just had a short life!”

 

“Throw it.”

 

Men began to hurl stones at Kriella, showing no signs of repentance.

 

“

Uargh

!”

 

“

Ack

!”

 

Stones, large and small, poured down like rain. As they raised their hands to block the stones, someone’s figure flashed through their field of vision.

 

“Du-Duke Gracie…”

 

Duke Gracie was watching them, oozing arrogance. He had deliberately not proposed the death sentence, intending not to give them a graceful end. Even the guillotine would have been a luxury for them. Rightfully, they should meet their end miserably in the streets, amongst the commoners they had looked down upon. He watched the three trashes being pelted with stones for a while, then sneered and left the scene.

 

Meanwhile, a gap appeared among those hurling stones. Endimion grabbed Magorit’s hand, and they started to flee.

 

“Leaving your mother behind…!”

 

“Mother, I’m sorry! It’s your karma!”

 

He still didn’t think what he had done was wrong. Yet, he seemed to want to blame others for his own wrongdoings. Thus, Endimion fled the march with Magorit without knowing whether his mother was alive or dead.

 

However, penniless, they had nowhere to go. After much deliberation, Endimion used all his money to cross through a mana tunnel. Eventually, they arrived at the shack where he once lived with Lobelia.

 

“

Um

, it’s dirty, but it’ll do.”

 

He entered the cabin. Despite his words, Endimion’s brow was furrowed. When he lived there with Lobelia, although it was shabby, it was always clean. Such filth was unbearable now.

 

He glanced at Magorit. Losing Lobelia was regrettable, but he still had her, whom he loved.

 

“Mari, will you clean the house?” Endimion asked warmly with a bright smile. He didn’t seem to realize that he had called Magorit as ‘Mari’ again.

 

“…Why should I?”

 

“

Hmm

? You’re my wife, aren’t you, Mari? It’s natural for a wife to clean the house for her husband.”

 

“I’m, your wife…?”

 

She had thought he was the perfect man. Not only did he have a handsome face, but he also had a high status. Only now did she realize. That Endimion wasn’t a perfect man, but a perfect fool.

 

“If I had known what a pathetic man you were… I wouldn’t have married you from the start.”

 

“What are you talking about, Mari? That’s not a nice thing to say.”

 

“You filed the divorce papers.”

 

“

Hmm

?

Ah

… that was because of Lobelia,”

 

“Shut up.”

 

“Mari. Where did you learn such rude language?”

 

“Shut up…!”

 

You ruined my life.

 

Suddenly, Magorit’s eyes caught a rusty knife. She grabbed it and plunged it into Endimion’s chest.

 

“

Aargh…

!”

 

“If you hadn’t made such a mess… I wouldn’t have…”

 

Had to do such a thing.

 

The expression of Merilly forgiving her and Roseni deciding to leave her flashed before her eyes.

 

“How could you… Mari, you…” In pain from the stab wound, he reached out to Magorit. “I just… loved you, that’s all…”

 

Spewing blood, Endimion collapsed.

 

“What did I do… wrong…”

 

His eyes were completely closed.

 

A single tear of unrepentance trickled down his face until his death. A pathetic end for someone who cried out for love.

 

Magorit coldly looked at him, then walked away, shedding tears.

 

“I’ll forgive you.”

 

“I don’t want to live as your daughter anymore. I won’t.”

 

If only she hadn’t heard those words, she might have continued to live shamelessly.

 

She wandered aimlessly, not knowing where she was going. After a long walk, Magorit found herself at the edge of a cliff. It was the very river into which she had pushed Lobelia.

 

The wind on the cliff was fierce. The scarf tied around her neck, as if marking a curse, was blown away by the wind. The blue scar, still on her neck like a curse mark, remained.

 

“Indeed…”

 

Touching the scar, her gaze hollowly turned towards the river below.

 

“I knew from the start… you did nothing wrong…”

 

A sigh mixed with regret echoed emptily over the river.

 

“From the moment I pushed you into this river… I wasn’t human anymore…”

 

Tears flowed endlessly down her pale cheeks.

 

“

Hu, huhu… Huhuhu

…”

 

She burst into insane laughter. Then, suddenly, she clasped her hands towards the sky in prayer.

 

“Sorry. Please forgive me. Sorry. Please forgive…”

 

At that moment,

 

“

Aah

…!”

 

Magorit, stepping backward, fell into the river. With a splash, her body sank quietly into the water. Oddly, no ripples formed on the water’s surface. Magorit died quietly in the river where she had killed someone.

 

The blue scar, which seemed indelible no matter what, slowly disappeared. But she would never know as she had already died.

 

⚜ ⚜ ⚜

In the imperial palace, preparations for the new emperor and empress’s wedding were in full swing.

 

After settling all matters, Frinel proposed to Lobelia with an incredibly grand gesture. A fist-sized diamond, a thousand roses with dizzying fragrance, a pile of letters yet to be read bound into a book, and a hot air balloon adorned with giant banners hung in the sky. He brought every romantic proposal from novels and plays, sparing no effort in preparing them himself from start to finish.

 

In the end, Lobelia accepted his proposal with laughter. Duke Gracie showed a slight displeasure at his granddaughter’s sudden wedding, but they reached an amicable agreement to visit once a week.

 

Today was their wedding day. Frinel, dressed in his uniform, entered the room holding a stack of documents.

 

“…This is unbelievable.”

 

As soon as he entered, his eyes widened.

 

“How do I look?”

 

“Like an angel descended from heaven.”

 

In front of Frinel stood Lobelia, wearing a snow-white wedding dress. The dress, adorned with diamonds as big as fingernails at the hem, suited her so perfectly it was as if it was made for her.

 

“Strictly speaking, an angel is indeed an angel. The Shinsu clan is known as the messengers of the gods, right?”

 

“Is that so? You’re so smart.”

 

“It’s a joke.”

 

“A husband must agree with his wife’s jokes.” Frinel chuckled warmly, his smile brightening. “

Ah

, but even on such a wonderful day, there’s something we need to discuss.”

 

“What is it?”

 

“Kriella was killed by the hands of commoners, and Magorit drowned in the lake after stabbing Endimion.”

 

“

Hmm

.”

 

Having said that, he cautiously observed my reaction. “Should I have them thrown far away?”

 

“It’s fine now. I don’t need to bother anymore.”

 

“Really? Are you sure?”

 

“Of course. The series of events at the Marquis Hamilton family were all my revenge.” I brushed it off lightly. “Now, it doesn’t bother me anymore.”

 

“…That’s a relief. I was worried for nothing.”

 

“There was no need to worry.”

 

“Also, these are the documents finalizing the adoption of Merilly and Roseni as princesses. Now…” Frinel handed over the documents with a grin. “They’ve officially become our daughters.”

 

“…Thank you. For accepting them.”

 

Holding the documents close, I expressed my gratitude shyly.

 

“If you love someone, they naturally become someone I should love too.”

 

“Really, you…”

 

The two shared a moment, locking eyes full of love. Sensing the mood, the servants helping with the wedding dress quietly left the room. And just as he was about to kiss me,

 

“Mom, Dad!”

 

“We’re ready for the wedding procession!”

 

Two children, dressed just like their parents, burst into the room.

 

“

Cough

!”

 

“

Cough

.”

 

The couple quickly separated.

 

“

Gasp

!”

 

“What were you doing?”

 

“Merilly, maybe we should step out again.”

 

“

Huh

?”

 

“They were about to kiss!”

 

The children whispered loudly, bursting into laughter.

 

I blushed but smiled contentedly.

 

Behind the laughing children, Duke Gracie and Bella entered.

 

“Congratulations, Lobelia. I always knew you two would end up together.”

 

Unlike the laughing Bella, Duke Gracie looked somewhat displeased. He cleared his throat and subtly addressed Frinel. “

Hmph

, even if you are the emperor, if you ever make my granddaughter cry…”

 

“

Oh

, with such a powerful family behind her, I swear, if Lobelia sheds a tear, I’ll be crying tears of blood.”

 

“Crying tears of blood is not that easy, you know?”

 

“Easy. I’m sure Bella would come running to gouge out my eyes.”

 

“How could you think of me that way, Your Majesty!”

 

Amused by Frinel’s banter, everyone in the room burst into laughter.

 

“

Ugh

, being single is tough. Maybe I should go on a trip.”

 

“Suddenly a trip?”

 

“Yes. They say you can find new love on trips. Ever since the second prince went on a journey, it’s become trendy.”

 

“No trips for you, Bella.”

 

“

Ah

, Grandpa!”

 

Duke Gracie’s firm refusal made me cover my mouth to laugh, and then I turned slightly towards Merilly and Roseni.

 

“Merilly, Roseni, can you help pick a bouquet?”

 

“Yes, we’d love to!”

 

The children moved towards a cabinet filled with several bouquets. Merilly and Roseni, free from any shadows, happily chose a bouquet. They looked much more comfortable than when they were at the March Hamilton.

 

“…

Ha

.”

 

Watching the children, Lobelia let out a small chuckle.

 

“

Huh

? Why?”

 

“Now… I guess I won’t be called a madman anymore.”

 

“

Haha

, who would dare call the empress that?”

 

“Yes. Now, really…” Leaning slightly on Frinel’s shoulder, I continued, “I just want to live happily, in a normal way.” My tone was light, but it was filled with hope for a new life.

 

He gazed at me affectionately, then playfully winked. “I love you, Lobelia.”

 

“Me too, Frinel.”

 

Their voices, filled with love, made the children, who were choosing bouquets, come over to them, chattering.

 

“Why is it only Mom and Dad who get to love each other?”

 

“I love you too! I love everyone!”

 

Merilly and Roseni hugged them tightly.

 

“What about Great-grandfather?”

 

“What about Auntie?”

 

They looked innocently at Duke Gracie and Bella. Both hesitated for a moment before shyly speaking up.

 

“

Cough

, me too.”

 

“I love you too, Lobelia. And Your Majesty, and Grandfather, and our cute nieces!”

 

“Yay!”

 

“Alright, we’ll go to the hall now.”

 

“Good luck, Lobelia!”

 

Sending their last encouragement, they left the room warmly.

 

It was almost time for the wedding to start.

 

“Shall we head to the wedding hall now?”

 

“Yes. We…” Holding the children’s hands, I quietly mumbled as we headed to the hall, “will be happy now.”

 

The laughter of Merilly and Roseni echoed like fanfare in my ears. At the same time, the vast Great Hall appeared before her eyes. A pure white light, free from any darkness, brightly illuminated our path.

 

Walking down the aisle, I looked straight ahead. The high priest who had conducted the wedding in March Hamilton before, stood at the altar.

 

“I approve the marriage of Marquis Endimion de Hamilton and Marchioness Magorit El Deiji.”

 

That day, I was deeply shocked. It felt like the end of the world, filled with pain and agony. But I changed that ending with my own strength.

 

“I approve,”

 

Though time had passed, in the end, I regained everything.

 

“the marriage of His Majesty Frinel von Diamas Tiazen and Princess Lobelia Elland Gracie.”

 

A normal and happy life.

 

“Congratulations, Lobelia!”

 

“Congratulations, my granddaughter…!”

 

With thunderous applause, I firmly held the hands of my children and Frinel.

 

The crazy villainess no longer existed. Only a happy woman, who had regained everything, was present.

 

I smiled serenely, my heart filled with unparalleled peace.
