The Villain Is Obsessed With His Fake Wife

A look of embarrassment appeared on Mireyu’s face.

“Oh, mother.”

“Her.”

Queen Isabella did not give in to Mireyu’s embarrassment.

“How can a mere lady keep calling me, the representative of King Royam, privately?”

No emotion was felt on Queen Isabella’s face. She had a completely expressionless face. But because of that, she gave off an air that made people even more scared.

“Mother, please don’t do that.”

Mireyu hurriedly grabbed the hem of Queen Isabella’s dress and cried stubbornly.

‘Queen Isabella, despite her cold exterior, has a soft heart.’

“I feel really unfair. Please trust me. You said I am also part of the Royam family and that you cherish me like your own daughter. You looked forward to this wedding more than I did.”

“Yeah, it was like that once.”

“Even if you feel bad about it right now, you can listen to it at least once.”

“Let’s talk about it sometime.”

Mireyu was filled with hope.

‘Look, you’re listening to me!’

If Queen Isabella’s heart had completely left. She must have completely ignored Mireyu. The fact that she was reacting to Mireyu like this in itself was promising.

Mireyu sadly dropped her tears and begged.

“I didn’t intend to do this at first either. But when the wedding day came, Hessen suddenly ran away…”

Queen Isabella twitched her mouth slightly at those words. Mireyu cried out in joy. Even though everyone witnessed it, it was more important for her to get over this situation for now.

“A letter from Duchess Blanchett was found where Hesse left. And then it just happened like this. Everything else is real.”

“…”

“You said you considered me like your daughter. If what you say is sincere-”

“Yes, I treasured you like my daughter.”

“That’s right, because I disappointed my mother like that-”

It was just as Mireyu was about to shed even more tears when she saw Queen Isabella.

“So she believed it and behaved so recklessly?”

“I-I’m so sorry, yeah…?”

“I guess this is the letter you were talking about.”

Queen Isabella held out the letter with her frost-cold eyes. Mireyu, shedding tears, awkwardly accepted the letter.

“Why did my mother give me this letter…?”

[I became estranged from Mireyu, but I still congratulate you on having a child together.]

“So, this letter is from Duchess Blanchett framing me…”

[I have already forgotten all the unpleasant things that happened at Royam Mansion, so I hope your marriage will be blessed.]

The letter did not contain anything disparaging about Mireyu. Mireyu’s hand was trembling as she held the letter.

‘If it wasn’t Estelle’s doing, why did Hessen suddenly change?’

Reality felt like a lie.

“Mireyu Juti. From the beginning, you were a bride full of shortcomings.”

Mireyu looked up from the letter in a daze and looked up at Queen Isabella.

Queen Isabella stood with an elegant posture, but she glared at Mireyu with eyes that clearly showed her anger.

“There was only one reason I accepted you. You were the woman that the Crown Prince of Royam, my son Hessen, brought to me, saying he loved her.”

Still, Isabella could not forget her son the day he brought Mireyu. Very late that night Hessen came to Isabella and asked her a favor.

‘I’m sorry, mother. I apologize for disappointing you again. But my ex loves you with all her heart. All the fault lies with me forgetting my status as crown prince and being swayed by my emotions, so please do not scold her. Please.’

Isabella was devastated by her son’s confession. It was true that she thought Mireyu was an inadequate bride. However, when she saw Hessen begging for forgiveness from her mother, she began to reflect on herself.

‘Hessen. If she is the girl you love so much, be proud. This mother will help you.’

So Isabella really did everything for Mireyu.

“So far, I have accepted all your shortcomings. I took care of your situation, which was difficult for you to do well in a poor family and social circles where it was difficult to pay a dowry, and even took care of the accident you had with my daughter.”

Among them, there were things that even her biological parents found difficult to do for their daughter. But even at such times, Queen Isabella loved Mireyu.

“Even your scars, which were an eyesore in the social world, were considered painful and even created a place for you in the Kingdom of Royam. I thought it was okay even if you couldn’t properly perform your duties as the crown prince’s fiancée.”

She had to treat Hessen harshly and not take care of him as a mother because she was taking care of the kingdom on behalf of her dead husband, and unlike Diana, she could not properly embrace Hessen in her arms.

“But everything about you was a lie from the beginning.”

“Oh, mother. That’s not it-”

“Your pitiful past, the heartbreaking scar on your neck, and even the pregnancy you mentioned in front of everyone were lies! And yet you hold your head up proudly in front of me?”

Isabella bit her lip.

“You dared to deceive the kingdom of Royam with lies, disparage and humiliate an innocent person, and even lower the last remaining honor of Royam with a false pregnancy.”

Isabella’s eyes turned red. Isabella, who was calmly listing Mireyu’s sins, felt as if her throat was choked.

Mireyu was a woman whom Hessen loved.

She believed that Mireyu could make Hessen.

“More than anything, you…”

Isabella bellowed like a thunderbolt.

“How dare you hurt my son!”

Sigh-

Isabella roughly slapped Mireyu.

“My son, Hessen, was careful not to hurt even me, his mother. How dare you, you, do that to my child!”

The force was so harsh that Mireyu’s cheek swelled and blood flowed from the corner of her mouth. But Isabella’s eyes were still as ferocious as a wild beast. Even a simple animal got angry when its young were hurt.

“Don’t you dare even think about living and breathing.”

Queen Isabella was the acting king of the Kingdom of Royam, the center of the United Kingdom, and the Kingdom of Royam was almost the only kingdom that could exert influence over the empire.

“Even if it means risking everything, I will trample on you.”

Mireyu prayed as if she would do anything. Isabella’s black shadow fell over Mireyu. As if she would chew her up and swallow her up. And the reality that Mireyu would face was not that different.

It was the complete downfall of a fake.

* * *

The wedding was completely ruined.

“I never thought it was all fake. How did she do that? I’m so scared that I wouldn’t even dare to do that.”

“I guess I did it because I thought I had nothing to lose. By the way, today was the first time I saw King Royam so angry. He was someone who always kept his composure like a noble…”

“Who wouldn’t be angry about what happened today? If it were me, I would have done the same.”

The guests who came to the ceremony shook their heads and disappeared at the news of the eventful events that took place at the wedding. Most of the people looked satisfied because they got something more to see than a gift in return.

“I need to tell everyone around me what happened today as soon as possible. How unfair must Duchess Blanchett have been? At the end, I see her face turning white, and I feel so sorry for her.”

“The Kingdom of Royam is also a victim, but the biggest victim is Duchess Blanchett.”

“But the pregnancy was also fake. What did the saintess misunderstand for a moment?”

“Honestly, can’t we say that the saintess is not responsible for this incident?”

* * *

And she waited for the Blanchett family’s carriage, comforted by Diana.

“Because of me, the wedding…”

“No, Estelle. Rather, I should be grateful to Estelle in Royam.”

Diana shook her head.

“The Kingdom of Royam’s position will not be the same for a while. But still, breaking off the engagement like this is better than destroying the kingdom itself by bringing in the wrong person.”

“Really?”

“Sure. My brother probably ran away from the wedding with those same thoughts.”

Hessen immediately ran out of the wedding hall and did not return. Well, even if it were her, she thought she wouldn’t come home on the day she broke up the wedding and ran away.

“Then I’m glad.”

She grinned at Diana, who had played the most important role in the collapse of her wedding.

‘Mireyu probably thought I told Hessen, right?’

But to the Crown Prince of Hessen, she was just a noble lady with whom he had no close relationship. No matter how much evidence she brought, there was a possibility that there would be rejection or, on the contrary, people would feel even more pity for Mireyu. So what she chose was to have Diana move Hessen herself.

‘Diana, there’s nothing I can’t tell you. But… There is something Diana can do too. Just think about it.’

In that way, she induced Diana to go to the intelligence guild she commissioned, and let her know the truth about Mireyu. Diana was brave even when she first pushed Estelle around, and she didn’t hesitate at all. Naturally, she would have moved to reveal the truth to her brother. In fact, Diana had previously taken away Mireyu’s gold ring and consulted with Estelle.

‘Even though at the end Mireyu tried to overcome the situation with her fake pregnancy.’

Unfortunately, she fell into an even bigger trap because it was fake.

‘She should have been suspicious from the beginning when she was suddenly recommended to a wedding venue.’

The silver swan wedding hall that Mireyu happily accepted was prepared by Estelle at Nadia’s special request. Because Temiller Merchant, the owner of the Silver Swan Wedding Hall, was Nadia’s godfather.

In particular, the area near the swan wedding venue was made up of forests, so it was easy to detect people’s presence through the timing of the trees’ arrival, and it was also easy to guide Mireyu, who has lost her senses in trouble, to her convenience.

‘He won’t meet Mireyu for the rest of his life, right?’

In fact, Hessen found out the day before her wedding that Mireyu was an illegitimate child. Given the circumstances of her wedding, it seemed that he intended to marry Mireyu regardless of the fact that Mireyu was an illegitimate child.

‘But finally, my letter delivered through Diana.’

Her kind letter about Miryu’s scar received only slander. The letter touched Hessen’s sense of guilt. And after that, Hessen gave up on marrying Mireyu.

‘Well, I don’t know what the real reason was.’

In the end, Mireyu gained everything through her own sins and lost everything through her own hands. Baron Juti would excommunicate Mireyu in order to somehow survive, and the blade that would be thrown at Mireyu, who has become a commoner without even the protection of her family, would be even more threatening.

‘How famous was it there?’

It was difficult to escape the status of a nobleman and survive as a commoner, and Mireyu had committed too many sins in the first place. Diana held her hand.

“I’m sure my mother will thank you very much Estelle. She will compensate you by setting up her own place.”

“Speaking of compensation, how can I receive something like that from the Kingdom of Royam?”

 “You must get it. It’s like Estelle saved the Kingdom of Royam.”

If she said so.

“All right. Then, looking at Diana’s heart…”

They would work hard to compensate for the damage!

* * *

The Blanchett family’s carriage came to pick her up.

‘The sun hasn’t set yet?’

Even after so much had happened, she couldn’t believe that the day wasn’t over yet. She twisted her long hair and fell into thought without realizing it.

‘Stupid Mireyu.’

Mireyu screamed in despair and struggled against evil.

‘Then why did you lie so poorly?’

She pretended everything was fake, she didn’t know the subject and she wanted to live for real.

Estelle didn’t feel sorry for Mireyu at all. From the beginning, all of her plans could have gone astray if Mireyu had made a different choice. Moreover, Mireyu did everything she did by her own choice. She was nothing like Estelle, who had become a fake against her choice. In a way, she, Mireyu, was also one of the perpetrators who made Estelle an endless fake.

But like Mireyu, she was also a fake.

‘Unlike the real thing, fakes always require more effort. You have to struggle even more desperately.’

It would be a lie if she said it wasn’t strangely bitter to see Mireyu’s fall completely shattered.

‘The truth may be proven someday if you wait-’

Because there was no end to fakeness. If it could just exist in the first place, it might not have been fake.

“Estelle.”

John, who was waiting for her in the carriage, extended his hand to her.

“Did the preparation go well?”

“Yes, it ended well.”

She smiled brightly at John.

‘If you knew my truth, how would you act?’

It might be better to say everything with her mouth before everything falls apart like Mireyu. The truth exposed by someone else’s decision would only make her more miserable.

‘So I-’

At that time, John leaned his head against the window and spoke lazily.

“Estelle, you are so soft-hearted.”

“…huh?”

That was something she didn’t expect at all.

“Are you just saying this to me?”

“Yes. Your way towards Mireyu Juti was so merciful.”

John’s red eyes flashed eerily. Her body stopped without me knowing.

“It’s not good to move like that while giving the other person a chance.”

John said as if he had seen through her plan.

“Will that really bring down the opponent?”

“…Then what should I do?”

“They should have been taken to prison and killed right away. I will tie that woman and all of her instigators together and destroy them, create evidence that does not exist, and even throw those who were close to those who conspired against you into hell.”

“…”

“Wouldn’t that be the most terrible thing?”

Obviously, John was talking about Mireyu.

“But…”

But strangely enough, she didn’t feel like it was about Mireyu.

“Then what do you do when even someone who doesn’t have one gets hit?”

“Why do you care about that?”

John affectionately brushed her hair behind her ear.

“Anyway, the injustice around you will become her pain. It’s a great decoration for your revenge.”
