I Am The Last Villainess He Has To Kill

Chapter 75 – The Easiest Thing in the World

“Are you saying that these days, you continue to receive education in His Highness’ room?”

After finishing the fight, Shuria asked as she wiped her sweat with a towel.

“The beasts under me don’t listen at all. I was going to cut off their limbs, and I thought it would make other people uncomfortable.”

In fact, it had already been cut once, and the servants who were cleaning Kiehl's room were terrified.

"Haha. Did you say no to brother after that?”

At her words, Bella thoughtfully remembered her encounters with Juan one by one.

‘…No matter how you think about it, it’s ambiguous.’

The day after Juan had declared war, he appeared when Bella entered the room.

— "You didn't come yesterday."

She was going to tell him not to come anymore because he had lost his chance.

— “Don’t tell me you waited?”

Bella was speechless.

‘What kind of guy is that…’

— “No matter how late it is, you didn’t go?”

Although it seemed to be polite.

— "Well, I'm fine."

It may not seem like fine… He was like this a while ago.

— “I wonder what color would be if silver and black hair were mixed.”

— “Silver gray?”

— “The Princess of the Animal Kingdom seems to have a talent for art. I need to learn a bit, too.”

The nobles turned around when they heard that they had not been learning art, but looking back, they thought, ‘black hair.’

‘Wow, you're really skilled?'

Besides, this wasn't the first time this had happened.

‘…Isn't the setting wrong?'

In the novel, Juan was a sub-male lead though he was so gloomy and dark that he had no fans. Still, he looked slicker and brighter than he looked. Besides, it was a flirt setting, but a person who hangs out for one person.

‘Honestly, I don’t even know why Rosanne.’

She didn't want to be a passerby before he knew Rosanne. Even if she politely refused and tried to draw a line, only Bella seemed to be the strange person here.

“Well, so-so. I don’t know."

“Miss Bella. Do you know what the easiest thing in the world is?”

“Yes?”

Shuria raised a corner of her lips before continuing her words, “It is the heart of a person who has compassion.”

It seemed that she had also been observing Juan's actions.

Perhaps, his actions would lead to shame for the family. In the first place, he was the one who never stopped women from coming and never stopped women from going. Because of his good looks, no one was ever forced to say no.

And, as Shuria watched, she caught the fact that Juan was sincere to some extent.

“You don’t have to accept his heart, but you don’t have to reject him.”

At that, Bella whispered under her breath and said, ‘I see…’ while thinking it over.

“It’s also a skill to have someone by your side who likes you and can do anything for you and make good use of it.”

"Well… I guess so.”

“If you go to the Imperial Palace… No, in the future, you will meet many people.”

Bella slowly opened her ears.

After all, she had lived face to face with the demons so far, so there had been no normal human relationship.

“No one is going to spend a lot of time asking Bella to give a lot of love. They would demand the love they deserve in moderation.”

“The love they deserve…”

“Imagine, for example, that a servant really admires Miss Bella.”

Nothing came to her mind.

“Can that person dream of marrying Miss Bella or even having a romantic relationship? There is a difference in status.”

‘…If the two of us like each other, does identity matter?’

“So, the servant can be satisfied just being by your side. They know their limits.”

"Aha…”

“Then, they received all the love they could receive just by being by your side. That way, Miss Bella can also get what you need from them.”

“For example?”

Shuria's eyes changed slightly.

“You want to kill someone… You can ask for that, right?”

“Can’t I just kill that someone?”

When Bella asked that, Shuria stared at her for a moment and eventually opened her mouth, “You can’t, Miss Bella. Murder is a crime. It’s even worse if you use the name of the Cruell family.”

For a moment, her mouth opened.

The demons were not even people, so it was normal in the demon realm.

‘Wow… I'm really trash. I was a police officer in my previous life?'

Bella blushed when confronted with her conscience that was exposed to the bottom.

"That’s…right."

Taking out the sword, which she was holding in her hand, Shuria swung it.

“Miss Bella. You taught me how to use this sword…”

“….”

“Would you like to learn the invisible battle from me?”

* * *

Invisible battle.

She thought it was very grandiose though what came out of Shuria's mouth was cuter than it looked.

— “Shall we have a simple tea party?”

Although it was a light refreshment, Bella agreed with her foresight.

— “This is going to happen more often in the future, so how about Miss Bella prepare it for practice?”

As she prepared the tea and refreshments as she had learned, Bella had the attendants decorate the table as well.

“How about the seating?”

"Ah… That is what I decide.”

At the question, Bella carefully wrote down the names of the guests and placed them on the table.

“Bella, how should I place the flowers?”

“…Should I take care of the flowers, too?”

“What kind of teacup would you like?”

"Well…”

It was definitely a militant preparation. This was the first time this had happened. In her previous life, she simply went to a cafe and had a cup of coffee. Even if she invited someone to her house, she would just order delivery food.

‘There are a lot of things to worry about, but it’s fun.’

Come to think of it, she was able to live this golden spoon life of a noble lady as she wanted when she first possessed the novel. When the opportunities she thought would never come before her eyes actually came, Bella felt gratitude for Kiehl all over again.

He was the one who prepared all this.

“Do you prepare gifts?”

"Gift…?"

“Oh. It’s not necessary to prepare, just in case.”

Now that she thought of it, ever since she came to the human world, she had always received from Kiehl.

‘…I want to give him something.’

There was nothing she could give. Currently, Bella doesn’t possess anything in her hand.

‘If I give something like jewelry as a gift, he has a lot of money anyway…’

Firstly, no jewels.

Bella glanced around her room and poked her head out of the window. As it was the transition from spring to summer, the garden was in full bloom.

“Prepare the teacup set in the middle, and make the flowers red if possible. Also, prepare a piece of paper to make a bouquet.”

"Yes. Understand, Miss… Bel…la?"

Bella opened the window and jumped.

“I’ll be back soon, so get everything ready!”

Since they were on the second floor, it was not that high so Bella went down lightly. As soon as she hit the floor with a thump, the shock was transmitted to her ankle.

‘Ah… right. I haven’t recovered yet.’

Bella didn't mind and walked into the garden, although it was painful, as if she had sprained her ankle after taking a few steps.

‘Can I pick a bit? If they say no, I can say I didn't know.’

She picked up the yellow flower that caught her eye as she looked to and fro. There were familiar flowers like forsythia, along with a bunch of flowers like yellow mistletoe.

"Huh… This is a rapeseed flower?”

While there were many flowers in the garden, they seemed to be decorated by color. It would be pretty if these flowers covered this garden altogether instead of just a little bit. There were only a few, and if the flower garden became bare, her conscience was pricked a little.

‘Well, I don’t know.’

She couldn’t give anything. What did she have? As Bella thought, there was nothing like it to express this feeling.

‘Come to think of it, Kiehl often picked flowers for me.’

At the time, she just thought it was pretty. Was he looking for something to give her when he had nothing?

Now, she understood a little bit what it was like.

‘Is there anything else…’

* * *

While Bella was busy, Kiehl was on his way to her room, talking to Shuria.

“What tea party is it all of a sudden?”

“In the future, things like this will happen more and more often, so it can be seen as a rehearsal.”

“…Right. Seeing the Lady puts my heart at ease.”

"Oh, right. A letter came from the Imperial Palace. I want to talk about it together today.”

At those words, Kiehl took a deep breath and exhaled. It was a letter for the Crown Princess competition. Those words meant that he had to return to the Imperial Palace.

“…It was later than expected.”

“Have you been notified, too?”

“I was absent. Still, Rohan does everything he wants.”

"Your Highness, can you deal with it? There are a lot more people that Rohan has planted than I thought.”

The Emperor, who could not use his magic, was just a puppet. In addition, they wanted Kiehl to be the same.

“Why don’t you just do what I said before?”

"Before?"

“Going to the Demon Realm and bringing the Demon King’s heart.”

"Well…”

Even in the novel that Bella wrote, he took the heart, but the Crown Princess competition was still held.

‘…Because that was the way to meet Rosanne again.’

The major events of the novel never change. Even though he collected all of the relics in a short time, for one reason or another, it was also true that he returned to the Imperial Palace. He wanted to send Rosanne and Myu back, but even that didn't work out strangely for him.

“According to the rumors, the Demon King hibernated and a new Demon King was born. I heard that it was still a weak time.”

"Ah… Is that so?”

“If you want, I can help. We are already in the same boat.”

“Isn’t that still a little too much?”

In front of Bella's door, Shuria knocked twice and said confidently.

“It will be difficult to deal with my own skills, but please ask Miss Bella as well. I think she will listen.”

The Demon King was beyond this door…

“Welcome.”

…With such a beautiful appearance.

Bella was standing there in a dress she would wear to a party.

"Ta-da. Does it suit me?"

White dress with gold ornaments and ornate lace.

“Perfect from head to toe.”

“I’m glad. It was awkward.”

Bella blushed at Shuria's praise and handed the bouquet of flowers she was holding to Kiehl.

“Well, this is a present for Your Highness Kiehl.”

Kiehl gazed at her without saying a word. He had seen many ladies before, but could there be anyone who blinded him so much?

“…Pretty."

Although they said clothes were wings, it wasn't. The clothes only stimulated the imagination — making him imagine putting the crown on Bella's head and being with him in the imperial palace. He imagined her being his bride and holding a flower like that.

“I wanted to show you first. Fortunately, you arrived first.”

Kiehl said in a haze as he received the flowers.

“…I just want to see you.”
