Death Is The Only Ending For The Villainess
chapter-150

As if there was a lag, the accident stopped. I stared blankly at the tiny figure of a woman who popped out from behind Eclise without even blinking.

There was a gauze (bandage) on one side of the woman's forehead. Like the white lady who was injured by the magic I casted last time in the basement of Soleil Island.

'You're lying, aren't you?'

It was none of my business whether the leader of Leila's remnant was the princess. The only thing that matters is that it wasn't the coming-of-age ceremony yet. They were still five days left

I looked away from Yvonne and looked back at Eclise. He had been staring at me from the start with an expressionless face. It's as if he's waiting to see how I'm going to react.

Until a few days ago, he said he would stay by my side what ever happened and will give it to me. The Duke will make sure I don't slur on people anymore, and I will try to make myself happy.

'But why? Why? Why the hell? Why? Why? Why? Just WHY?'

Only one question occupied my mind. As I managed to catch my increasingly rough breath, a stifling silence fell. When the Duke, who doesn't bring up a word, turns her lovely face into tears. (I guess it's the princess)

"Renald, Penelope."

The Duke broke the stillness, and opened his mouth heavily. "You too should go back to your room"

Renald reacted before me. However, he remained silent on the Duke's "Tsk" warning.

I could hear him groan at me who didn't budge from my place ever after the order. But I couldn't give a response. It seemed like a bomb has dropped this early in the morning as everyone seemed in a state of confusion. Even though I didn't go back, the Duke turned to Yvonne.

"And you are"

I clearly saw that moment. The face of Eckart who is always cool, is now distorted by bitter longing and sorrow.

"Follow me for a moment." said the Duke with all his reason.

"So far countless people have deceived their appearances. You have to go through some tests to prove that you're really my daughter."

"a test?"

The Duke's blue eyes shook. The girl was more pitiful and pure than anyone else. Naturally, in the game, the heroine passed all of the "tests".

She guessed all of the dead Duchess's goods, such as the structure and dot of the mansion. It was a divine feature. It's hard to know all that if you were not involved with the concerned person (the duchess). So far, no one has ever passed the princess position.

"If it is found to be wrong, it could result in the death penalty for the contempt of the nobility." Warned the duke in a stern tone

"What are you going to do now, will you follow me?"

"I didn't recover my memory entirely but I still remember"

Even though it's not the coming-of-age day.

"I'll try" Nodded Yvonne with a determined look. 'Everything goes as in the game.' I felt like I was suffocating.

The Duke, who managed to turn his head, ordered this Dereck of mine. "And Derick."

"Yes."

"Hold him underground. I'll have to question him of what happened." Derick went straight to Eclise.

"Wait."

Strangely enough, I tried to stop the Duke in a hurry. But Yvonne was one step ahead of me. "I'll take the test so don't do that. Eclise is the one who helped me."

Appealed Yvonne to the Duke pitifully. The Duke shook his head firmly.

"That's not under your jurisdiction. He's an apprentice to our family" "Well, but"

"It would be impossible to go out without clear permission. Find out how this child got it." Derick and I were embarrassed by the Duke's orders.

"Don't drag him away."

When Yvonne shut up, I stepped forward. "It's my Escort, so he's my subject." "Penelope."

The Duke and Derick suddenly looked surprised as they turned. They didn't seem to realise I was still here.

"I need to talk to him."

My head was spinning, but right now I had to ask. "Penelope."

I walked towards Eclise in a hast. No one stroke in. The hostess standing next to him watched me with such strange eyes. But Eclise suddenly stretched out his arms, not caring about such a thing. Then he grabbed his jacket as if he were holding back his flesh and blood.

"You"

It was the moment.

<SYSTEM> Would you like to check Eclipse's favourability? [18 million gold / Fame 400]

I hit [18 million gold] straight away. But

<SYSTEM> Insufficient funds! (Reserved funds: 12.000.000 Golds)

The white writing changed right away. I managed to keep my head above water and chose [fame 400] again.

<SYSTEM> Lacking fame! (Loyalty total: 360)

I knew I used all the money I had left to check his favourability without hesitation. I am confident that I will be able to get 100 percent soon. Moreover, I believed it wouldn't matter because I received news from the butler that the sale of the magic-processed emerald had begun.

But had I known that stupid judgment would come back like this......

When I had no choice but to blow the window of the system that was in front of me, violent feelings of throwing something rose up. The hand holding Eclise's collar that was shaking wasn't visible for the naked eye. It was trembling to an extend that would shiver the order of things.

"Penelope! Stop and back down."

Warned me the Duke for a second time. When I came to my senses, I looked down and saw his eyes under the jet light.

He was a bit surprised, and his eyes grew bigger. "Master."

"JustWhy?" I had no choice but to ask like a fool.

'Among everyone, why did YOU have to betray me and bring the real princess. "Why?"

So, I repeated that word only. My face in Eclise's pupils was horribly distorted. He looked down at me senselessly, and soon opened his mouth.

"I am a slave from a defeated country, but I am indebted to the Eckart family. I knew the family was

looking for her, so I couldn't turn away" "HA, HAHA"

In the reply of Eclise who spoke as if he made a brilliant deed, a brave laugh came out. There was a flood of acid going back into my esophagus. I felt keenly what the experience of flipping my eyes was like.

"Don't fuck me, you crazy bitch."

The sound of clenched teeth leaked out.

"The grace you wear must come from me, not from the Eckart family! I WAS THE ONE WHO BOUGHT YOU FROM THAT FUCHING AUCTION!"

I knew it was stupid. But even though he knew it, I couldn't stop the screaming. The hand was lifted above the stroke. Just before I put his cheek up.

"Penelope!" The Duke thunderstruck. "Butler! Take him away"

"No! I still have something to say" "Penelope Eckart"

This time Derick called me as cool as ice. "Don't you understand English"

"I just asked my escort how!"

"You're not a child anymore, how long do I have to watch you do evil"

I was fed up with his eyes. I was fed up with the princess too that was standing still as if she a "real princess" appeared and looked at a "fake princess" who is evil and rotten to the core with jealousy.

It wasn't just them, there was; The Duke, Leonard, The Butler, and the people who came to see the commotion. I looked around at them, one by one with a look of fear.

Dark red, Orange, light pink. Eclise's favourability gauge bar was glistening. "Lady, please leave."

Called the butler at me in a heavy voice. My hand went all the way up down to hit Eclise. In the midst of all this I was worried about the plummeting popularity.

The power of the hand that had held all that weight has loosened. I still clenched my teeth and slowly

turned my back against my mole bread man-ju. (Guess she's cursing at Eclipse). As soon as he was forced to follow the butler's footsteps.

It's a bloody atmosphere, and I don't know what to do.

I made eye contact with someone who was stamping his feet. The woman's face was distorted with apologies and guilt.

A princess in the usual gentle and good in normal mode. And a fake princess in hard mode who's wary of her appearance and behaviour.

Somehow, the same game is going on, and the creepiness suddenly eroded the tip of the jawline.

Coming back to the room under the watch of the butler, I went straight to my desk and sat down. Maybe she heard the news, but Emily, who was waiting, followed me carefully.

"Aah, miss."

"Get out" "But"

Brown eyes full of freckles rolling over my face was like a crab. Maybe the shrewd girl regretted siding with me. And maybe she's willing to tell the real princess who's back somehow that she's quitting being my personal maid.

"Can't you hear me? I have something to think about, so get out" Emilie who skips out, shouted nervously.

"Yes, yes! I'll be waiting outside. Call me if you ever need me, miss." She answered in a fit of surprise and hurried out of the room.

Tic-Tac

Soon enough, the room became so desolate that one could hear the sound of an ant passing by. "HA"

I got a throbbing pain, aching head, deep sighs, and buried my face in my hands.

It's still only morning, the beginning of the day, and I'm as tired and exhausted as I've been through the night for days. But even feeling such feelings was a luxury.

'Think you can't die like this.'

I held on to the spirit of weakness and forced my face out of my hands. Then I stared into the air and held my head high.

For some reasons that I don't know. Eclise betrayed me and came to Yvonne. I didn't want to escape like this and be swept into normal mode, become a villain woman and die miserably.

However, I couldn't remain discouraged forever. Fortunately, the game did not show up at the coming- of-age ceremony.

"I still have five days left."

Which means I still have another chance to escape. '99%! I just need to say I love you after 100%'

Whether or not a woman appears, that's all you have to do. "I need to see the bastard."

I stared nervously into the thin air and waited for the shim gate to end. I also wondered where to get the money to check his good feelings and excuses for his teachers, who secretly gave him to the Duke.

How long has it been since I started to wait?

Hnock-knock "Lady, this is Penel"

At last the news came to the door. "Come in. Butler."

I ordered hastily. The butler soon came in to tell the news.

"Lady, the first emerald necklace you put up at last night's auction has now an owner. The proceeds were just transferred to the mansion through the White Rabbit platform."

"The money has been deposited?" "Yes."

'okay'

Although I didn't know the news about Eclise, but still it was the news of the meeting in the midst of the X situation.

Hi everyone! This is my first time translating, I did it to help Eiffellyanaw. I hope this translation will meet your standards :D
