I Am The Last Villainess He Has To Kill

Chapter 112 – Who Will Win

Meanwhile, in the past few weeks, a new topic of conversation had arisen in the garden of the imperial palace. Until everyone passing by the garden of the imperial palace was worried, ‘Isn't she crazy?’ Rinne sat there like a statue for weeks.

After seeing that, Jenkins quietly approached her side.

“Miss Rinne, are you doing this again here?”

Over the past few weeks, she has been struggling to overcome the occasional sense of self-doubt. She thought she could control and defend everything after the magic explosion accident of the Fire Kingdom, but she couldn't.

“Grandpa Jen…”

“What are you doing being so miserable?”

Rinne only snorted at Jenkins’ words.

As her greed and expectations were excessive, how could she know this emptiness that came over her when it was not met.

“I guess I have to give up on being the Archwizard.”

This time Jenkins laughed at her words, raising his lips.

“For two hundred years, no one has been able to summon the Demon King. You should feel proud.”

“That was done by gathering all the magic amplification tools.”

“You know what? A human vessel can grow at any time.”

Saying so, Jenkins sat down next to Rinne.

“Human beings change the most depending on their will. You don’t have to strategically try to win the title, and you will naturally get it when you become that vessel.”

Meanwhile, he patted her on the back and comforted her.

“Actually, it's not easy to become a wizard escorting the crown prince at that age, isn't it?”

“…That was luck because Rio is close to Kiehl.”

“Even if it were, it wouldn’t have been possible without the ability.”

“….”

“Among the people I've seen so far, the person who works hard next to the Young Master must be Miss Rinne.”

“…The second.”

Jenkins shook his head.

“No one can beat the Young Master. It’s not effort. It’s obsession, an obsession.”

She had nothing to say there, either. Although she didn’t understand Kiehl’s goal, Rinne knew that he had pushed him countless times to achieve it.

“…Thank you.”

Jenkins put his hand on the back of her head and lightly stroked her hair.

“So, don't be in a hurry because you have a lot of potential.”

Rinne, who had never failed, found this comfort a little strange. She turned her head to the side and looked at Jenkins, a little puzzled.

“Grandpa Jen, do you really like me?”

“Are you crazy, human?”

Jenkins frowned.

Just in time, Bella, who was going to the knights after changing her clothes to spar, overheard Rinne’s words by chance.

“Did Zen like Rinne?”

“Say something that makes sense, Miss.”

Hearing that, she glanced at Jenkins curtly and patted Rinne on the shoulder.

“No, or no. What are you talking about?”

“Even half of me is a demon. How can I like a human without going crazy?”

Bella fiddled with her neck awkwardly.

‘…Is he criticizing me right now?'

Even though she tried to say that she herself liked Kiehl, she thought she would be embarrassed by saying that in front of them, so Bella refrained from it.

“Wait, you are half human. After being discriminated against like that, are you discriminating against other people too?”

“No, how is this discrimination? Think with common sense. We have different lifespans, will you like it?”

Bella gave Jenkins a hard slap on the back of the head.

“Did you fantasize about wanting to die faster than humans?”

“Wow, you hit me really hard.”

“Say something nice, how embarrassing would Rinne be if you said that?”

Rinne gently hugged Bella as if she was really sad.

“Lady Bella. Hng, hng.”

“You're three hundred years old, there's things you can’t say to a child.”

“How Grandpa Jen has been harassing me…”

At those worsd, Jenkins’ chest thumped at the words, saying it was unfair.

“I was the one who said nice things a while ago, Miss Rinne!”

Line stuck her tongue out at Jenkins in Bella’s arms.

“Can’t you see that Miss Rinne is sticking her tongue out?”

“Huhu. Rinne, who is not even a great wizard, is so sad that I will go out for a drink.”

The next moment, Bella patted her on the back twice.

“Rinne, I'm going to bet with Kiehl right now, and if I win, the wine Lady Merken gave me will be mine. Would you like to drink together?”

“…I love you, Demon King. How do you know what Duchy Merken’s wine is my favorite?”

“What bet?”

Answering Jenkins' question, Bella drew a ‘V' with her finger.

“I’m going to fight him for the first time in a while.”

Then Jenkins and Rinne responded with the same words at the same time.

“Miss, are you sparring with the Young Master?”

“You're fighting against Kiehl?”

Both lowered their eyebrows and dissuaded Bella.

“He is the Crown Princess… do you really have to teach the young master a lesson at the Imperial Palace?”

“Our Highness is still good at swordsmanship… can you bring me the wine?”

There was one concern, but each had a different cause.

“Miss Rinne.”

“Grandpa Jen.”

“It's our Miss who raised the young master.”

“You don’t have much practical experience. Kiehl is really good.”

“Even if the Miss looks like that, she's the head of the Demon Realm, right?”

What were they squabbling about?

Bella walked past them while they quarreled.

“Would you like to bet?”

“Great…!”

Then, seeing the two following her, she let out a sigh.

* * *

The hyperactive Bella quickly became irritable whenever she wore a slightly uncomfortable dress. Rosanne said that she had been traveling for many years and she was used to mending her dresses because she fully understood Bella’s feelings.

Having traveled extensively for many years, Rosanne was well-versed in the art of mending dresses, as she understood Bella's sentiments perfectly. However, she normally delegated this task to Myu, who would usually bring the clothes.

Although she usually ordered Myu to bring it.

“Now! Take the lead! Cotton candy!”

She came out of the Imperial Palace for the first time in a long time because of Pur, who wanted to play the boss. All she had to do was pick up the dress, which had already been talked about.

“The Miss needs to wear a red one!”

Pur said that she was the captain, and she always says things one after another

“…She already has too many red dresses, so wouldn’t she like other colors as well?”

“Okay”

Fortunately, Pur was just having fun messing around, and she didn't think much of anything. With Myu carrying the blue dress neatly wrapped in the wrapping cloth, they entered the Imperial Palace.

“Get out of the way! Miss’ clothes are passing by!”

People glanced at the noisy party.

A cute teddy bear and an angelic good-looking Rosanne.

The picture of the two of them went very well together. Those who did not know Bella's face would naturally thought that they were ‘the Princess and the mascot of the Animal Kingdom,’ especially when Rosanne looked at Pur, her eyes were full of affection.

“Pur looks really cute.”

“Is that the talking teddy bear?”

“Yes.”

At that time, she was just shocked and scared, but she never thought Pur would be this cute.

‘Come to think of it, it's thanks to this teddy bear. It's thanks to Pur.'

Expressing her gratitude, Rosanne mentioned how she had been able to join Kiehl's tour without any worries, knowing that there was a talking teddy bear accompanying them. It provided her with the opportunity to explore the vast world outside the confines of the mansion, which, in reality, wasn’t actually narrow despite her initial perception.

Thanks to Pur, she was able to travel across the entire empire.

“Yes, Pur. I was able to travel thanks to you… Thank you.”

Pur's round eyes grew wider at Rosanne's words.

“It's the first time I've heard the word of thanks.”

No, Bella and Kiehl also talked about it several times, so of course, neither of them were serious.

“Cotton candy is a good friend?”

“Thank you for being my friend.”

“…Again!”

Pur's eyes began to twinkle.

Within the Demon Realm, Iwer was Pur's sole companion. Being by Bella's side allowed her to continue existing, but among the demon populace, the ancient bear tribe, to which Pur belonged, was mostly scorned and overlooked for over two centuries.

“Then, cotton candy will be my third favorite now!”

“Oh, thank you. It's an honor!”

Pur's mouth opened once and did not know how to close.

“What an honor!”

Then, Pur waved her arms and hips from side to side to express the feeling of flying.

“What kind of dance is that?”

“Hmm… I do not know either.”

Even the mild-mannered Rosanne was taken aback by her dance, but Pur didn't care and danced around in a circle.

As they passed the main gate of the Imperial Palace…

“Rosanne. Did you go outside the palace?"

..Rio burst out near the front door as if he had been waiting.

“Yes. What brings you here? Aren't you supposed to be by His Highness' side?"

As usual, when Bella went to Kiehl's room as a cat, he would also be taking a break. In the first place, there was no need for an escort just because Bella was there.

“I switched with another escort. Rosanne, you should also take an escort with you when you go out.”

“Hmm. I heard Lady Bella say it’s okay if it’s Pur.”

Rio glanced at Purr, who was dancing alone.

‘It’s really… reliable.'

Since she became the Crown Princess’ lady-in-waiting, perhaps Rohan's group could approach Rosanne to find out her weakness.

“Because Lady Bella has shared a lot of the work lately, I have a lot of time as well… call me if necessary.”

“Yes, thank you.”

“Then, are you on your way back to Bella now?”

“Yes. I’m just bringing her clothes to the room.”

“Is the work worth doing?”

Rosanne clenched her fists and said.

“Yes. It's not difficult, and on the contrary, other ladies-in-waiting treat me well.”

“That’s good. Actually, I was a little worried at first.”

The spouse of the person Rosanne had a crush on was someone she had to attend to… whatever fate awaited her, it was just too harsh.

“Right now, I think I’m in the process of finding out what I want to do.”

“…To be a lady-in-waiting?”

“Aren’t there a lot of powerful people around Lady Bella?”

She was really overflowing with power.

“I think I have to change first in order for the cactus’ empty wish to come true.”

Rio, not knowing exactly what Rosanne's wish was, just looked at her sadly.

Meanwhile, Kiehl was also excited about the thought of having a fight with Bella after a long time, changing into more comfortable clothes.

“Oh! It's the Young Master!”

Suddenly, he heard a familiar voice calling him.

As soon as he turned around, Pur ran towards him on all fours from afar as Kiehl spread his arms toward the running Pur.

“Pur, how are you?”

“I have a subordinate now, too! Not just the Young Master has subordinates.”

“…Subordinate?”

Kiehl only thought to himself, ‘How lesser a person is to serve as Pur’s subordinate.’

“I will show you my subordinate! Cotton candy! Come here!”

As he slightly raised his head, Rosanne slowly approached from a distance.

“Ah…”
