The Villain’s Daughter Plans to Run Away

 

“What’s going on?”

 

“…Ho, true. Is there any problem in the castle?”

 

“No. It seems that confusion was created in the process of preparing for the regular meeting. It’s nothing, let’s proceed.”

 

Agasa’s expression was flawless.

 

However, people weren’t stupid.

 

The sudden appearance of a knight was enough to cause controversy.

 

There were even some who were whispering with their aides with their faces hardened, as if his explanation wasn’t clear.

 

‘If this happens, it will be difficult to resolve both the meeting and the assassin.’

 

If there was Cassis, it would be resolved with one command.

 

But Agasa was just an aide.

 

‘What should I do?’

 

I was examining the situation with my bewildered eyes turning again.

 

Grabㅡ 

 

It was then.

 

“Miss Baby. Can you help me?”

 

He hugged me and handed me over to Lisa who was already waiting next to me.

 

It was a pleasant sound to hear.

 

“With what.”

 

“The opinion of Miss Baby that I was going to convey instead. Miss Baby, please tell them yourself.”

 

Agasa let the meeting room, which was buzzing as if there was no other way.

 

“If Miss Baby speaks, they will show interest.”

 

Nod, nodㅡ

 

What can’t I do in this situation?

 

“…Of course.”

 

I nodded vigorously, and a smile of relief spread across my lips.

 

Responding to the news of an assassin was something I was used to as the daughter of a villain.

 

Rather, I felt my mind clearer and cleared my throat.

 

“I-I have an opinion!”

 

Let’s raise my little hands in the air and shout.

 

In an instant, the noisy meeting room became quiet.

 

The vassals were surprised by the Princess’ sudden remark.

 

“…Come to think of it, you have a piece of paper in your hand. Did you write down your opinion?”

 

The first to start was Viscount Candice.

 

Resting his chin on his hand, he showed interest as if he was curious about the young me.

 

Let’s focus my attention on the Viscount’s words.

 

“We didn’t know about that and didn’t ask the Princess’ opinion.”

 

“We’re proceeding through the Law Kingdom’s fund. What do you think, Princess?”

 

Soon, a friendly laugh sounded from another spot.

 

I felt that everyone was in favor of expressing their opinions at the educational level.

 

Phew.

 

Thank you, Uncle Viscount Candice.

 

I continued, giving infinite thanks to the Viscount for inducing a friendly atmosphere.

 

“First of all, I oppose the suspension of the Law Kingdom’s fund!”

 

“Oh my!”

 

“Your voice sounds like that of a general.”

 

As I summoned up all the strength I had been suckling in and shouted at the top of my voice, amazing exclamations erupted from all over the place.

 

‘Agasa, am I doing well?’

 

It seems to have turned to quite a bit of aggravation.

 

(actually it’s ‘aggro’, from aggravation or aggression. a meaningless behavior or talk to just take others’ attention)

 

Glanceㅡ

 

Fortunately, Agasa quietly moved away from his seat and was talking to the knight.

 

“Princess, you can do it.”

 

In addition, when Lisa hugged me and cheered me on, I gained courage as if I gained a back up.

 

Alright.

 

Now that this happened, let me tell you my opinion!

 

“First of all, I’m against it. I watched the current situation of Vallois and the Law Kingdom.”

 

“You mean from Rolls newspaper?”

 

When a family head jokingly said, everyone laughed happily.

 

The serious situation was a little erased.

 

‘Is there really someone among them who sent an assassin?’

 

Of course, there was a high probability that it wasn’t them.

 

Those who hold a grudge against Vallois due to Cassis’ tyranny are most likely outsiders.

 

Then who the hell are they?

 

“Here! Let me ask you a questiooooon!”

 

Anyway, it was time to come to my senses and scream.

 

“Thank you, Miss Lisa. Now leave the princess to me.”

 

Agasa’s voice, who had returned to its original position, was scattered in the air.

 

“What about the situation?”

 

“The assassin was found dead.”

 

“!”

 

My eyes opened wide as I alternately scanned the paper and the people.

 

The assassin is dead.

 

That means that the killer or evidence can’t be identified through interrogation of the assassin.

 

‘The situation isn’t good.’

 

“In a situation where the culprit isn’t identified, it’s better to gather in one space. We won’t let people know. Outside, the level of security has been raised to the highest level.”

 

Agasa, still peaceful, continued his ventriloquism.

 

“First of all, the protection of the Princess is our top priority.”

 

‘Yeah. Let’s do my job for now.’

 

Being held in Agasa’s arms, I mustered courage in my heart.

 

“Who will eat the plains of the Law Kingdom, absorbed by the Rolls Empire?”

 

Please be lured, be lured.

 

My eyes widen with a bit of regret at the nonsensical question…

 

“Of course it’s Vallois. The victory in the war was due to Vallois, so we will rule all the lands along with the lands of the Law Kingdom.”

 

I want to give you some candy later.

 

“Ding dong dang! That means that the current people of the Law Kingdom are the people of Vallois in the future.”

 

I smiled briskly at Viscount Candice, who was a good match for me, and continued.

 

“So, if Vallois cuts off the Law Kingdom’s funds, in the future, the people from the Law Kingdom may rebel against us.”

 

The people who smiled warmly at my words nodded as if they were surprised.

 

“That makes sense.”

 

“But if we cut off the fund, they will run out of food, so the Law Kingdom will try to talk to us again.”

 

“And even if the commoners rebel, Vallois will be able to defend ourselves. To discuss the benefit of Vallois, it’s correct to cut off the fund.”

 

Marquis Twiling, whose eyes lit up at my aggression, raised a teacup and retorted.

 

That was a good sign.

 

To refute my words means that a discussion has begun.

 

I smiled and agreed.

 

“My thoughts are the same. The Vallois side has to cut off the fund.”

 

“However, the Princess just now…”

 

“But we don’t have to be the first to announce the statement about the fund, right?”

 

“?”

 

The gazes of the vassals, who were talking to each other, all turned to me.

 

In a meeting, nothing changed the game more than curiosity about the opinions of the other side.

 

I spoke over and over again.

 

“We will spread rumors to the Bluebell family. That the Vallois family is trying to end the fund as soon as possible.”

 

“Pardon?”

 

“Even though the Bluebell family is a collateral family, they copy everything from Vallois. I’m not trying to follow you.”

 

I cast a warning glance.

 

“If I were the head of the household, I wouldn’t let it go.”

 

“But the Bluebell family is still a collateral…”

 

“So, is Bluebell currently an ally of Vallois?”

 

My rebuttal made the meeting room quiet.

 

They knew better than anyone that Vallois despised Bluebell.

 

The collateral side would also have shown their hatred like Vallois had the Bluebell not been one of the four largest families.

 

Even Bluebell didn’t attend the regular meeting in the name of being the four largest families.

 

They were very selfish.

 

“Bluebell is also the four largest families, so if they take the lead to cut off the fund from that side, the rest of the families will follow suit and oppose it. Everyone wants to imitate what looks good.”

 

I spoke.

 

“After that, we just have to quietly join them. Then the retaliation of the Law Kingdom won’t come on our side.”

 

“…”

 

“Hmm.”

 

I put my chin on my hand and took back the opposing chip I threw on the table.

 

“If the announcement of the fund is delayed like this, I’m in favor of abolishing the fund. therefore…”

 

Bounce, rollㅡ

 

I exchanged the blue chip for a red chip and bounced it.

 

“I will also agree with all of you.”

 

I nailed it as unanimous.

 

However, I kept my mouth shut with the intention of listening to anyone who might object.

 

“…”

 

No objections were raised at the meeting.

 

“…Did you say you were five years old?”

 

One of them just asked my age again as if he felt clogged and stuffy.

 

“Yes.”

 

Then silence again.

 

It was then.

 

“Anyway, if it’s abolished… It’s better to be safe.”

 

Viscount Candice, struggling to break the silence, nodded.

 

He couldn’t believe he agreed with the opinion of a five-year-old, yet he couldn’t think of anything to refute again.

 

“Well, if we just want to cut off the fund…”

 

“… Rather than just quitting, I think it would be better to wait like the Princess said.”

 

Fortunately, Viscount Candice and others who were bewildered began to agree.

 

However, they didn’t seem to be interested in the fund of the Law Kingdom anymore.

 

“Did you say your name was Billishia? I must remember it.”

 

“Then, when is the official introduction of the Princess? There are some families who aren’t currently attending regular meetings, right?”

 

“First of all, we need to get rid of the misunderstandings that are circulating in society. If, apart from His Grace’s absence, such a fierce princess would come in…”

 

Those who witnessed the rare sight chattered among themselves.

 

The appearance of a young princess at a regular meeting that could have been boring was shocking because it was fresh.

 

‘I haven’t done much.’

 

I only rolled my tricks.

 

‘As long as it’s not me!’

 

This clever set of values, the core of my opinion, was my motto when I was the daughter of a villain.

 

Is that why?

 

In many lifetimes, whenever I felt cornered, I blamed it on the person next to me.

 

It was only applied to the Vallois fund case.

 

‘It doesn’t matter if I’m being a little worse to protect my family, right?’

 

I was worried. just in case.

 

Because of one opinion, I’m afraid that the good me I’ve built up so far will be seen again as the daughter of a villain.

 

However.

 

“For the time being, eat your cake as much as you like.”

 

Agasa, who seemed satisfied with the atmosphere in the meeting room, whispered.

 

“Really?!”

 

“… Only for the time being.”

 

Yeaaah! It’s a cake party.

 

My shoulders immediately went up like a castle, feeling better at the sweet news.

 

‘Bluebell family, you bastard. You shouldn’t have copied Vallois!’

 

A friendly atmosphere and lively conversations among the vassals.

 

Everything ended successfully.

 

I became elated and took a pose in front of people with a cotton fist on my waist.

 

“!”

 

“What is this!”

 

“What’s going on!”

 

At the end of the scream, the figures of the people disappeared all at once.

 

Even the lights in the meeting room were turned off, and panicked voices rumbled in the darkness.

 

Crassshh!

 

“Kyaaak!”

Even the arched windows of the meeting room were shattered all at once.

 

Through the flashing light, I caught a glimpse of people protecting their heads with their hands.

 

“W-Who is it!”

 

“For now, protect the Princess!”

 

“…Damn it, do assassins use Magi? Lisa, is this yours?”

 

“N-No. Even if it’s me, this level of magic is…”

 

Agasa covered my head with a suit jacket and raised his sword with Lisa.

 

“Where is the slave?”

 

Clackㅡ　

 

The door opened as if it were going to break, and a bright light poured in as a huge shadow went in.

 

“…Your,”

 

“Your Grace?!”

 

The eyes of the surprised people and servants widened at once.

 

Messy black hair.

 

Purple eyes resembling the glint of light at the tip of a sharp blade.

 

“… Agasa. I asked where the damn yellow-headed beast was.”

 

Cassis was back.
