Volume 1 Chapter 15 Reunion With My Rival
After the members of Saintwise stopped cheering for me, they tried to make me sit on a throne made of flowers created by magic.
I was about to be carried to the ice throne in the center, surrounded by blooming white lilies, when I cried out, "Sir Ciel, I want to go home! Help me, put me down!" I finally had to ask the pervert for help.
Sir Ciel, who was watching his subordinates with a smile, suddenly noticed me and said, "Shall we let Ms. Lydia go home now?" He finally spoke to the members of Saintwise.
"Ms. Lydia, the miracle fairy...! Thank you so much!"
"Ms. Lydia, you're cute, kind, and a great cook──an ideal wife..."
"I want to study that power of yours..."
The members of Saintwise said one after another.
Mr. Leavis knelt respectfully in front of me and bowed his head.
"Ms. Lydia, we will never forget this favor. We pledge our eternal loyalty to you. If you command us to die, we will die."
"Eek..."
Panicking, I hid behind Sir Ciel.
Mr. Leavis was too intense and scary.
I would never give such an order.
What kind of situation would a cook like me be in to tell Mr. Leavis to die?
"I-I won't ask for that, so please...! Anyway, I'm glad you all are safe and well... I don't think we'll meet again, so take care...!"
I pulled on Sir Ciel's robe and said,
After my clothes were torn and I was tossed around, I was in a terrible state.
I looked like I had been attacked by a thug.
When Sir Ciel finally noticed my disaster, he tried to take off his robe and put it on me, so I ran away.
There was no way I was going to let that happen.
Wearing a big guy's clothes and looking all baggy might create a little romance, but I absolutely refuse.
I know Sir Ciel was desperate to save everyone in Saintwise, but still, a pervert is a pervert.
"I'm not borrowing your robe... If I have to wash it and return it, I'll end up meeting Sir Ciel again..."
"Ms. Lydia... your determination not to trouble your Sir Ciel... what a brave woman you are..."
Mr. Leavis said something I didn't quite understand and seemed moved.
Once again, everyone from Saintwise started saying things like, "So brave!" "So cute!" "Our Ms. Lydia!" and I buried my face in my hands.
Ugh, this is sad. In this place, no matter what I do, everyone from Saintwise praises me.
I'm sure if I went crazy and stripped n*ked here, they would praise me too. It's scary.
I bowed and escaped from the room.
Everyone from Saintwise sent me off with applause and cheers.
Sir Ciel followed me with a relaxed pace.
Even though he was slow, he moved quickly. It's because his legs are long.
As Sir Ciel walks, the jewels on his head sparkle and sway.
"...I've been disliked so much that you hate wearing my jacket, huh?"
"It's not just about Sir Ciel; I actually dislike men...! The truth I've reached in my world has left deep scars."
"I'm really sorry for everything. For lying. And I was a bit pushy. ...To be honest, I don't usually have personal interactions with anyone except Saintwise's subordinates. Of course, I do interact with people for work."
"It doesn't look that way."
Or rather, the castle maids are squealing and it seems like he has them all around him.
"I'm not really liked by the people in the castle. Anyway, I thought I had to get Ms. Lydia to cook, so I tried to imitate Lucian. Saying cute things and touching your body. ...But that wasn't a good thing. I'm sorry."
"Even if you keep saying sorry, it doesn't help...! Even if Sir Ciel isn't a pervert, I won't be tied down... Men betray me. I will live watching over the healthy growth of the children."
I keep moving toward the castle exit.
I understood that he was trying to be cute and say various things like Mr. Lucian.
But still, I think kidnapping is wrong, no matter what.
Anyway, the castle is a bad place for me.
I need to escape quickly. I feel like something bad is going to happen.
"...Lydia, why are you here?"
See, I knew it...!
A beautiful man, looking like a good-for-nothing in clothes, is walking towards me from the front.
I was just about to escape from the castle.
Why am I always so unlucky?
In the Rest priest's family, I had no presence at all.
Why do I stand out so much inside the castle?
"What are you wearing, Lydia? And Ciel...!"
A beautiful man with loosely styled golden hair and emerald eyes came up to me and Sir Ciel, glaring at me.
His well-fitted white clothes had the royal family's emblem, a horned Pegasus, on them.
It's Sir Stefan.
My former fiancé, the cheating good-for-nothing.
I looked down at myself.
My blouse's buttons were torn off, and my skirt was ripped in several places.
Seriously, what is this appearance?
"Your Highness, there are some serious circumstances..."
Sir Ciel tried to explain, but Sir Stefan interrupted him.
"Serious circumstances...! The moment our engagement was broken, you start hunting for men. You were probably playing around with Ciel in the castle. You look just like a pr**titute."
While glaring at me, Sir Stefan said this in a mocking tone.
Um...
How did he come to that conclusion...?
Look at my appearance!
No matter how you think about it, it seems like I was attacked by Sir Ciel and something terrible happened to me...!
Is Sir Stefan stupid?
I thought he was a good-for-nothing, but is he really that dumb...!
