My Villain Fiancé is Interfering with My Flowery Path

<CHAPTER 05>

 

 

It seems that Sor also did not want this newspaper to be a success.

 

 

 

It’s a bit surprising considering how much Sor behaves like a saint in the original, but I don’t hate it when he says he will take my side.

 

 

 

‘The newspaper company was originally going to fail anyway.’

 

 

 

To be exact, Thisbe was going to be ruined. She could not allow Thisbe, a wicked woman who even took the lives of those who quarreled with her, to run a newspaper where she wrote impure speculations about herself and spread them throughout the country.

 

 

 

However, since this is also an episode similar to the death of an extra, the only explanation in <Monster Flower> is that the newspaper company went bankrupt and that this was Thisbe’s fault.

 

 

 

‘I never thought I’d be sitting in debt.’

 

 

 

After experiencing it myself, the story was more detailed than I thought.

 

 

 

If she was sitting in debt, it wouldn’t have been that difficult to let Thisbe go bankrupt in the original.

 

 

 

However, even if it is not Thisbe, it makes me feel a little more comfortable knowing that it was originally a ruined place.

 

 

 

Thanks to this, Thisbe’s face became as refreshed as Sor’s. Sor, seeing Thisbe’s complexion blooming, smiled kindly and spoke to her.

 

 

 

“It looks like you were quite happy with the news.”

 

 

 

“Sure. Very good. “It would be better if you were completely devastated.”

 

 

 

“It will be as Thisbe wishes.”

 

 

 

It may have been simply a remark, but Sor’s voice somehow seemed sincere. Of course, Thisbe liked Sor’s sincerity.

 

 

 

Again, this world was too harsh for Thisbe. This is because there were very few people who showed Thisbe the truth.

 

 

 

‘Even before it was revealed that I was not a saint, there were many people who clearly hated me on the inside, even if they were smiling in front of me.’

 

 

 

It’s really hard to think that all these people would criticize her like this just for the fact that she is not a saint.

 

 

 

There were more complex interests there.

 

 

 

For example, if one has a personal inferiority complex or is jealous of Callista or Thisbe.

 

 

 

The Marquis Manette, who died without a sound after making a fuss about publicly insulting Thisbe at the opera house, also belonged to that group.

 

 

 

‘Because the Marquis Manette was bullied by his grandfather before.’

 

 

 

There was a confrontation between the Marquis Manette and Thisbe’s grandfather, the Duke of Callista, over tax law revisions. At the time, the emperor sided with the Duke of Callista, and because of this, the Marquis Manette suffered enormous losses.

 

 

 

And the Marquis Manette thought that it was because of Thisbe that the emperor took the side of Duke Callista.

 

 

 

They say it’s to flatter Callista because he has a saint with him.

 

 

 

To that extent, the very existence of the protagonist of the oracle had great political significance.

 

 

 

Thanks to this, Thisbe is now being criticized more than necessary.

 

 

 

‘Anyway, everything will be resolved when I leave for Sage.

 

 

 

It is said that newspapers that they did not like will go out of business on their own.

 

 

 

After taking a sip of tea with satisfaction, Thisbe clattered down the teacup and said,

 

 

 

“Then all we have to do now is catch the culprit.”

 

 

 

And Sor’s expression hardened slightly again. Of course, it was a subtle change that Thisbe could not notice, such as the sun being momentarily obscured by clouds.

 

 

 

Sor, holding the cold teacup tightly with both hands, hesitated before opening his mouth.

 

 

 

“… … “It looks like you really want to find the culprit.”

 

 

 

“When have I ever said something empty?”

 

 

 

Sor shook his head with his eyebrows lowered like before. Thisbe smiled lightly at that obedient appearance.

 

 

 

“I know you’re worried. But the false accusation must be cleared. Above all, we haven’t killed any big players yet, but we might soon.”

 

 

 

Actually, that was the problem.

 

 

 

Killing a big guy.

 

 

 

‘If the order has been going so far, this next hitter will definitely be a problem.’

 

 

 

Since they die in the order in which they quarreled with Thisbe, the next Marquis Manette must be the son of the Margrave Lunette.

 

 

 

Margrave Lunette’s son, Lunette Yeongsik, met Thisbe at Countess Dillua’s salon and chatted excitedly.

 

 

 

-That’s how it turned out, but it’s hard to say that she’s Duke Salvator’s fiancée. Well, street farmers always keep their heads upright, right?

 

 

 

Unlike the Marquis de Manette, the point at which he started a fight was the ‘Duke’s fiancee’ part, and the reason was that Lunette Youngsik had an inferiority complex to Sor.

 

 

 

‘Besides, he got dumped by me once.’

 

 

 

Lunette Yeongsik tried to resolve the inferiority complex he had towards Sor through Thisbe. Since he could not defeat Sor with brains, swordsmanship, fame, or anything else, he tried to seduce Thisbe and make her his.

 

 

 

What kind of outdated and villain-like idea is this? Thisbe gave a fitting repayment to Lunette Yeongsik (who didn’t even want to memorize his name), who was much more of a villain than the villain herself.

 

 

 

At a tea party with Young-ae, who is secretly dating Lunette Young-sik, he said this under the pretense of discussing his concerns.

 

 

 

-Actually, I’m also having concerns these days. As you all know, I have a fiancé. However, there are people who are courting me too much, which causes me a lot of headaches. Even though I rejected him, he kept confessing his feelings… … .

 

 

 

-My goodness, there is probably no one who doesn’t know that the princess has a fiancé. Who would do such a rude thing?

 

 

 

-I’m cautious about whether I can tell you this. I was worried that it might tarnish his reputation.

 

 

 

-But this is something that could tarnish the princess’s reputation, right? Even if you are cautious about telling everyone, we will keep it a secret, so please tell us with confidence. What kind of scoundrel is this?

 

 

 

-Everyone is really friendly. then… … I believe in you… … I’ll just tell you.

 

 

 

How thrilling it was to hesitantly sing Lunette Yeongsik after those words.

 

 

 

It was no secret that from that day on, Lunette Yeongsik not only stopped flirting with Thisbe, but also had a blue bruise on his face.

 

 

 

So, it is not surprising that Lunette Yeongsik hates Thisbe.

 

 

 

The problem is not with Lunette Yeongsik, but with Lunette Yeongsik’s father, Count Lunette.

 

 

 

‘All the problems started when Count Lunette turned his back on me due to the death of Lunette Yeongsik.’

 

 

 

Count Lunette clearly felt sorry for his son, but he was not a father so ardent that he even turned a blind eye to the death of his only child.

 

 

 

When he learns that Lunette Yeongsik’s death was caused by Thisbe, he turns his back on Thisbe, shedding bloody tears.

 

 

 

If he had been an ordinary count, there would not have been much damage, but unfortunately, he was the leader among the margraves who were always fighting against monsters on the border.

 

 

 

The influence he had was truly enormous, and it became the most decisive reason for throwing Thisbe out of Callista and leading to her death.

 

 

 

So, if Lunette Yeongsik dies in this situation.

 

 

 

‘Count Lunet will turn against me before I can determine whether it is true or not.’

 

 

 

If that happens, things will get out of hand and it will become even more difficult to uncover the truth.

 

 

 

Maybe that’s what the criminal in this case is aiming for.

 

 

 

Thisbe continued speaking, tapping the armrest steadily with her index finger.

 

 

 

“If that happens, I will be cornered. “We can’t leave it like that.”

 

 

 

And Sor had a very complicated expression upon hearing those words.

 

 

 

“So, you mean that the deaths so far haven’t made you happy?”

 

 

 

“that’s right. No, to be honest, I’m happy. “I feel quite refreshed.”

 

 

 

“… … “Then, can you hear what the problem was?”

 

 

 

“The problem is that the arrow comes back to me. “Everyone thinks I committed murder.”

 

 

 

“That really baffles me too. “I thought it had nothing to do with you.”

 

 

 

“I think it’s because I die every day.”

 

 

 

“everyday. “Every day was a problem.”

 

 

 

“is it so. Dying every day is too suspicious. “If he’s going to die, I want him to die in a way that makes it seem like he has nothing to do with me.”

 

 

 

Sor nodded for a moment at Thisbe’s words and then asked:

 

 

 

“Then can I understand that their deaths themselves made you happy?”

 

 

 

“Sure.”

 

 

 

“I will take note of it.”

 

 

 

I don’t know what he was referring to, but Sor looked happy.

 

 

 

Thisbe couldn’t bear to pour cold water on Sor, who seemed happy for the first time in a long time, so he ignored the question.

 

 

 

As long as Sor is happy, that’s fine.

 

 

 

After Sor said that, he also said that he would help catch the criminal, so he probably meant that he would consider helping.

 

 

 

Naturally, in those comfortable thoughts, there was not the slightest suspicion that Sor was indeed the culprit of all these incidents.

 

 

 

It is also expected that the comfortable thoughts of that day will be the start of all problems.

 

 

 

Thisbe at that time was not able to do anything.
