Villainesses in Romance Fantasy Become Obsessed

10. The evil woman comes out of the egg (4)

10. The Villain Cracks Her Egg (4)

An engagement ceremony.

After I agreed to Nadia’s words.

The process proceeded quickly and without hindrance, and it has finally come to this day.

To tell you the truth, things got stuck once in the middle…

‘You’re engaged to a servant! This is an act that will damage the honor of the Vertium family, Headmistress!’

‘What are you?’

‘… Yes?’

‘I won’t kill Darmian because he hates it. Send them to prison instead.’

Nadia’s cool judgment.

After that, all the servants of the mansion did not go against Nadia’s words, and the work progressed quickly.

I’m sure they know.

The fact that disobeying Nadia’s words, no matter how right they are, will kill them.

‘I imprisoned, I did not kill, Darmian. And I just did what I had to do To erase the remnants of Baron Medeus.’

I need fear.

An authority that uses fear to not look up at me carelessly.

I don’t have the authority of the family head right now.

Nadia said that she would rule the mansion with her own power so that the servants of the family would not ignore her young age.

‘This is the most reasonable way.’

A truly tyrannical villainess.

It seemed that a dangerous thought had been lodged in her head by misreading a book in the library.

Due to Nadia’s stubborn personality, I can’t touch her thoughts right now.

I decided to commit to the next one, and I decided to focus on the current situation.

Smart-

“May I come in, Majesty? I have arrived.”

-Come in.

A nonchalant voice from inside the door.

I opened the door and met the eyes of the bride at the engagement ceremony.

‘She’s pretty even though she’s young, though she’ll become prettier later.’

It seemed that the preparations were completed just in time.

She had light makeup on her face and was wearing a pure white dress.

“You are right on time, Darmian.”

“Yes, luckily I was right on time. Today is especially more beautiful, Head of Household.”

I bowed my head and showed my respect.

Seeing that, Nadia smiled and walked toward her door.

“Huh, you won’t be able to see me bowing my head today. You look good in a suit too. As if it was worn often. You look classy.”

Nadia looked at me from bottom to top.

From the look on his face, he seemed satisfied.

If there’s one thing we both regret a little, it’s that we’re wearing mature clothes that don’t fit our young age?

I spilled my words in a slightly regretful tone.

“If we had the engagement ceremony two years later, we would both have gotten along better. That’s a bit unfortunate.”

“You are right, but… “

Hwaak-

Nadia pulled the tie of her suit inside her and dragged it to her own face.

Then, facing me, she smiled with delight.

“I am. I want to do it now Right Now. Want to get okay?”

“… Understand.”

“I’ve been trying to put it off since last time. There is no procrastination. An engagement ceremony is an engagement ceremony, and an oath is an oath. Both are going on at the same time.”

“Okay.”

I nodded her head and held out her hand to Nadia.

To put the position of the bride and groom without further discussion.

Nadia took my outstretched hand and walked toward the ceremony hall with the sound of her shoes.

‘… Can I really do this?’

Something will happen soon.

Nadia and I won’t see each other for a while.

And, I’m going to drive a hard nail into Nadia’s heart.

After that plan was over, Nadia…

‘I won’t be able to kill people because of my oath, and I won’t even be able to access the basement.’

No matter how you think about it, this is right.

That’s the best decision in the current situation.

Kwaak-

I clenched the fist of the other hand, not the hand that was holding Nadia’s.

As I was walking, it happened before I knew it.

In front of my eyes was a silent engagement ceremony with countless people sitting quietly.

***

“The groom and the bride get engaged to prove their love for each other… “

Blah blah blah.

Maleos, a middle-aged man from the Church of Zephyrus, the state religion of the Fritz Empire.

The priest officiated at our betrothal while saying something.

Of course, I couldn’t hear him properly.

‘I’m so nervous… ‘

If this plan fails.

I will be imprisoned by Nadia and will live in her mansion for the rest of my life.

Because betrayal and escape will never be tolerated.

Perhaps they put me in a cage and say something like this.

‘Are you betraying me? And, are you trying to run away? Don’t send no, i can’t send it Even if it means cutting off your leg… You are with me forever Because they are my family.’

Ah.

It is already expected.

Never get caught.

If I get caught, the tyrant’s villain will be quiet, but the other villains will run amok.

The world will eventually come to an end.

Gulp-

I swallowed a dry saliva as I made up my mind.

“Well, then… prior to proceeding with the engagement. I heard that the bride and groom will take an oath of souls, not an oath of engagement. “

“Right. Darmian and I will swear an oath. I won’t divulge what the oath is. Except for the witnesses.”

“Yeah, I know that too. I’ll be your witness. All of you who attended! Applause for this young bride and groom!”

Clap clap clap-

The sound of applause for survival resounds without an inch of error.

Perfect tempo.

I looked at her Nadia and met her eyes with her.

At that moment, her voice rang in her head.

‘First of all, congratulations on your engagement. That priest, Melios, will be the witness of the ‘oath’ between the two.’

In this Romance world, there is a ‘oath’ in which priests act as witnesses and mediate promises.

Once you make an oath, the promise is embedded in your heart and will function until you die.

And, the sign of the oath is engraved like a tattoo near the heart.

Of course, the one who breaks the oath will have their heart stop and die.

It’s not called the Promise of the Soul for nothing, it’s the Oath of the Soul.

‘Then, before starting the oath. I’ll listen to the consent of the two of you. Vertium Nadia. And Darmian. Do you agree to this oath?’

“Yes.”

“Yes.”

A voice that rings at the same time.

“What did you two promise-“

“…”

At that sight, people murmured, then became quiet again.

Because Nadia glared at him.

‘Consent has been obtained. Next. What Vertium Nadia put on as a condition of the oath is ‘My servant Darmian will be betrothed to Vertium Nadia and marry when she becomes an adult.’ Are the contents true?’

“Yeah, that’s right. It is a truth without a single lie.”

My name is a lie.

Anyway, the oath remains in the heart, not in the name, so there is nothing particularly helpful.

‘Verdium Nadia has agreed to the pact. Next. Darmian’s oath is ‘Nadia will never kill anyone. She doesn’t go to the basement.’… Are these the conditions of the real oath?’

Cleric Melios looked at me with eyes that said, ‘Are you serious about this bastard?’

From his point of view, marriage doesn’t seem to fit the conditions at all.

From my point of view, who knows the future, my side is much more profitable.

I don’t know how much I explain to that fool, so I nodded my head and spoke vigorously.

“Yes, that is correct.”

‘… Then, we will proceed with the oath by binding the souls of the two. Please hold hands, both of you.’

I put my hand forward at Melios’s words.

Nadia took my hand with a look of anticipation.

He seemed to be happy with the anticipation of becoming a family with me soon.

“Then let’s begin.”

Melios held the two of us by the shoulders and closed his eyes.

It was the beginning of the oath ceremony.

‘The Oath of the Soul… This feels a bit strange.’

My heart is throbbing, I feel like something is tickling my heart.

Perhaps a promise is written in your heart.

I wonder if a minute passed like that.

Melios removed his hand from his shoulder, sweating profusely.

“With this, the notarization of the oath between the two has ended. Now, the two of them are in an engaged relationship that no one can doubt! I hope you decorate today’s engagement ceremony by putting on the ring, which is the last step!”

Good progress.

There is a reason why churches make good money officiating at weddings.

I held the ring box Melios gave me in his hand.

Then, I opened the box and took out the contents.

‘A gold ring with a large emerald in the middle. It’s a ring suitable for Verdium.’

It matches the color of Nadia’s eyes.

I knelt down and took Nadia’s slender hand.

Then, he slowly pushed the ring in and slipped it into her ring finger.

‘This is the beginning.’

Clap clap clap-

Applause broke out and congratulated us.

However, that was only for a while.

“Wait a minute!! This engagement is invalid!!”

The applause faded in an instant at the voices coming from the audience.

Medeus.

She raised her finger at me and shouted with the script I had prepared.

“This, this engagement is invalid!! Nadia! My nephew! You don’t know the truth about that attendant!!”

Chack-!

Medeus shouted in a theatrical tone and scattered her papers in the air.

That paper is the document on which Medeus and I signed a contract.

It was up to the people to decide what the brief content of the contract was.

“Contract… Chamberlain Darmian takes the money and reports Nadia’s daily life to Medeus… “

“If you refuse to report, you will be dismissed… “

“Well then, the Duke of Vertium is going to marry the servant who was in cahoots with Baron Medeus… ?”

Woong Sung Woong Sung-

The wedding, which should have been blessed, quickly turned into a scene of controversy.

Among them, there were those who were confused, and at the same time, there were those who enjoyed the incident.

Nadia read the contract blown away by the wind and said in a weak voice.

“Darmian. What is all this… ?”

“… It’s a contract. My contract with Baron Medeus.”

“So, you mean this is true… ?”

“… “

“All the lies of the baron… ?”

I was silent.

The answer to that was because I didn’t have to.

The answer was the role of the servants who watched Medeus and I tryst.

“Come to think of it, I saw you in the hallway… Late in the evening, Darmian used to go into Baron Medeus’ room… And after entering… The excited voice of Baron Medeus… “

“I-I heard… “

“Me too… !”

“It’s not just information, it’s a relationship that is mixed with the body…”

Witnesses appear everywhere.

A rumor spread far and wide.

The wedding, ruled by fear, was covered in gossip.

Nadia watched the scene quietly.

“How do you… you can do this to me… !! Darmian… !!”

Kwaaak-

She grabbed me by the collar and glared at me while holding me in the air.

Her eyes were full of regret for trusting me and sadness of betrayal.

‘I am suffocating and my heart hurts. I tried not to think too hard… ‘

It is also a heavy task.

Still, someone has to do it.

And if you know the future, you have to do more.

I spoke to Nadia with all my heart.

“Sorry. All true.”

“Are you threatened? Say yes. Then I’ll see you.”

“It is not a threat… It was my will… “

“Why the hell!”

“I don’t have money… Also, all the words that I always think of the Head of Household… “

That’s a lie.

“It was a lie to gain trust.”

I’m sorry.

“I am so sorry.”

I spat out words mixed with self-reproach and regret.

At that, Nadia burst into tears and was furious.

Her It was only natural for her to be hurt, no matter how weak she was.

“Why, why did you do that? You said you would be my family. You are my attendant! But why… !! If you’re not going to be my family… “

Die.

Kwaaak-

Nadia untied her collar, moved her hand to my neck and strangled me.

From her point of view, it was the right thing to do.

However, the body has already made an oath.

“… !!”

I couldn’t kill people.

Nadia gripped her heart silently, complaining of her pain.

Because of her oath, her body became incapable of killing people.

‘I won’t be able to kill people from now on.’

It’s true that she’s a villain.

I won’t become a slayer.

‘From the moment the plan goes awry, this is bound to be the end. This is the best plan I can come up with… ‘

I’m sorry, Nadia.

Seeing Nadia collapsed on her floor, she murmured.

Then, as I prepared, I put my hand in her pocket and detonated the hemp tool.

“Go, suddenly there is smoke!!”

“Run away-!!”

Everywhere was covered in smoke, and people made a loud noise in confusion.

As if he would never let go of me even at that moment.

Nadia endured her pain, clutching at her heart and desperately holding on to my clothes.

“No… don’t go… Return to my servant, Darmian… I won’t hold you accountable… So please… “

Please stay with me.

However, I cut her hand mercilessly.

“… I’m sorry, my lord.”

I’m sorry, it hurts and I’m sad.

I still have a lot of work to do.

“Ah, ah… “

Tak-

I removed Nadia’s hand and ran out of her.

After that, I heard Nadia’s grievous voice.

I tried to ignore her guilt and accelerated my pace.

I did not create a tyrant who slaughtered tens of millions of people.

But, I am today.

I created a villain who hates only me, not the world.

And the price…

‘I ran out of time this time, but definitely later.’

It will pay off by saving her from her villain.

So I left the promised meeting behind and left the Vertium Manor.

Unfortunately, there were many pursuers.

Running away from the villain was more dangerous and tough than I thought.

***

Verdium Nadia.

A poor family head who lost her fiancé.

The poor family head whose fiancé was a traitor.

“My family Darmian… ”

She was sitting alone in her art studio, looking at her canvas.

Brown hair and blue eyes.

A sharp nose and sharp eyes.

“Why… lied to me… ?”

Nadia raised her hand towards her canvas.

While she resented Darmian, she still wanted him.

“You said you could die for me. That’s a lie… ?”

No.

This is absolutely not a lie.

Those eyes are the truth, not lies.

It was fundamentally different from other people’s eyes.

Nadia could tell because she had great powers of observation.

What are the eyes that tell the truth, and what are the eyes that tell lies.

“You told the truth, Darmian. But… “

You lied at the end.

Nadia remembered.

The one word he spat out while she was caught by the collar and couldn’t breathe properly.

“You said that always thinking of me was a lie… “

Those were the lying eyes.

You lied to me.

So, you always thought of me.

“By the way, why did you try to run away by abandoning me? Even by making a useless oath that made it impossible to kill people and prevented them from going to the basement.”

As expected, are you thinking of me?

If not, just for fun?

“No, Darmian’s actions had a meaning.”

I’m sure Darmian made an oath for me.

By the way, I’m not sure what that means.

“Why can’t I kill people, and why can’t I go to the basement…?”

Nadia was alone in her thoughts, deep in thought.

She had no time to be frustrated and sad.

Nadia was only thinking and trying to bring Darmian back.

That moment.

Smart-

From the door of the art room, a knock was heard along with the voice of an investigator.

-The investigation into the head of the household, Darmian, has been completed.

“Okay, report it.”

-By the way… There is no information about this Darmian man…

“What do you mean by that?”

-It is a being that suddenly appeared in Vertium. There is no single information about him. But didn’t he say he lived here? To do so…

No information.

No one knows.

I have no family.

That was very strange even for Nadia to hear.

“… Go back at once.”

-Yes.

“By the way, what happened to that Medeus woman?”

– I am in prison.

“…You can’t kill it. Don’t think about releasing it for the rest of your life. Let it rot there.”

-Okay.

The art studio was left alone again.

Nadia looked down at the canvas Darmian had painted on.

“Your purpose wasn’t even money. Even if you do your research, you… I bought the gate guard, bought a wagon, and prepared food. Medeus said he was beaten by you too. I spent all the money I saved in the first place to get out of the manor.”

From the moment I came here already.

You were preparing a plan to escape.

“… I have no idea what you’re thinking, Darmian. I hate you and want to kill you But, I still… “

I want you.

“Everything I didn’t have in my life. I felt like you filled me up… “

Push-

Nadia sat down in her chair, staring at her canvas.

I don’t know where he came from, how or why he came here.

But, to know what Nadia doesn’t know.

She naturally picked up a brush and started to paint on the empty canvas.

I always thought about his appearance and had it in my head, so I could easily draw a portrait just by imagining it.

“… As expected, blue eyes and brown hair don’t go well together.”

So Nadia released the people to search for Darmian, and for a long time until the news arrived.

She stopped eating and drinking and devoted herself to painting.

‘We are meant to meet again anyway, Darmian.’

All the family paintings disappeared from the art room, and Darmian’s portrait began to be displayed.

Portraits of Darmian with different angles, backgrounds, and facial expressions filled the entire gallery.

That action was a means to fill a deficiency that had developed in Nadia.

“I regret not being mine more than that you betrayed me.”

Nadia hates Darmian, but at the same time she misses her.
