The Villain Is Obsessed With His Fake Wife

Isidor narrowed his eyes at her intense reaction. The look in his eyes as he looked at her was quite fierce.

She quickly changed the subject.

“Why are you asking whether I kissed you or not?”

“It’s a very important issue for fairies.”

“If fairies kiss, do you think something will happen?”

“Similar.”

It was a casual remark, but Isidor’s expression was surprisingly serious.

“Fairies lose themselves the more they give their hearts to humans.”

“Lose themselves? Does their lifespan decrease?”

Fairies had such a huge secret!

‘If I do something wrong, I’ll die?’

She had all sorts of negative thoughts, but fortunately, it didn’t seem to be that bad.

“You don’t have to be so scared. It has nothing to do with lifespan. To be exact, it means that the fairy power is weakened.”

“Why, why is it weakening?”

How important was the fairy power to her right now?

‘It’s my only weapon.’

That’s why she tried so hard to increase the fairy power.

“I don’t know. I don’t know why either. It’s more like something I found out because I often see it around me. That’s why I suddenly asked you if you kissed me.”

Isidore’s blue eyes turned fierce for a moment.

“Your power is very weak.”

“Well, but my power might be weakened because I’m under a curse.”

“…A curse?”

“Yes. The trees told me that my fairy power keeps being taken away by someone.”

Isidore placed his hand on her head. It felt like he was being cared for, so she felt embarrassed.

‘What, what are you doing?’

Isidore shook his head.

“Well, that could have an effect, but it’s still a little different. The power of a fairy who falls in love with a human changes a little differently.”

“Then what should I do now?”

“We just have to avoid contact.”

“Can’t you maintain the power of a fairy as much as possible even after contact?”

Isidor’s eyes met hers. His gaze was delicate.

“Do you love that human that much?”

Maybe because they were both fairies. Somehow, Isidor’s gaze at her felt like he was looking at his immature younger sibling. She was very embarrassed, suddenly revealing her love life in front of her family.

“I don’t know how much it is, if you say so.”

“First of all, it seems like you love him.”

She asked, unable to cover her two cheeks.

“Is it that obvious?”

She thought she was pretty good at controlling my expressions. Then Isidor answered casually.

“Based on your reaction, it seems like you have no intention of changing your feelings for that human.”

Maybe, just a few days ago, she wouldn’t have been able to answer this question. Because back then, she wanted to deny her feelings.

‘But it’s different.’

“Yes, I love him very much. So I don’t think I can change my mind.”

If she had the will to change so easily, she wouldn’t have made up her mind in the first place. She didn’t waver even when she saw John’s scary appearance.

“That guy really doesn’t suit you.”

“You haven’t even met John yet.”

“Is that human’s name John? I really don’t like his name. But if you, the last fairy, love him so much…”

Isidor, who had been frowning, sighed lightly.

“I’ll help you maintain your fairy powers as much as possible. That’s why I stayed in the first place.”

She knew there would be a way!

“Thank you. But do you think I can learn everything this time?”

“Don’t worry too much. I still have a few more times of my power left, so you can come see me in the same way.”

The tree behind Isidore shook its straight branches. Green leaves fell like flower petals.

“It’s using the power of the fairies.”

She didn’t know exactly what the power of the fairies was, but she could clearly feel that the intangible power that made the leaves fall was the power of the fairies.

Wherever the green leaves fell, sky-blue flowers quickly grew.

“Wow…”

“You can use the power of the fairies like that.”

She was amazed because she had never used the power of the fairies before. Isidore said with a blunt face.

“Don’t be surprised. Each fairy has a different power. The power of the fairy I have was to give plants the power to destroy their enemies.”

The tree behind her came between them without a care.

-That’s why he was the guardian of the fairies.

She was surprised to hear the answer from someone she had never expected.

“Did you know that tree could speak?”

– Huh? Trees can actually speak.

“That’s true, but…”

The tree burst into laughter at her reaction.

– The fairies were having a very touching meeting, so I should interrupt them.

“It wasn’t to that extent.”

– No, it wasn’t. I could feel that you were very happy and excited.

“It’s noisy. I have a lot to teach you, so don’t interrupt me.”

– How shy.

She looked at Isidor with curious eyes at the tree’s words.

‘You were happy to see me?’

Of course, she thought she would be happy to see the last fairy.

‘But his expression is so cold and expressionless.’

If Isidor’s eyes weren’t warm, he had such a scary expression that she wouldn’t have felt happy.

– Don’t worry too much about Isidor being grumpy. He’s more happy to see you than anyone else. Since you don’t have much time left, he’ll act up every now and then.

“As you know, trees often say useless things. Tessebia has been in this space with me for a long time, so she makes strange sounds.”

“Tessebia?”

– That’s my name. Thanks to Isidor, I became a tree with a name.

The more she stayed here, the more she felt like she was learning about amazing facts.

‘This is a great opportunity for me.’

There were almost no records left about fairies. Even the trees only knew about the power of fairies, and they didn’t really know how to use it.

‘I think it would be good to learn about the power of fairies on this occasion.’

Isidor looked back at her as he pounded his fist on the wooden pillar.

“Come back, the most important thing about the power of fairies is what kind of power you have. Did you hear from the tree what your power is?”

“Oh, yes. I heard it. It’s called the eye that sees truth.”

“…the eye that sees truth?”

Isidor’s reaction was a bit unusual for some reason.

“Why is that?”

“No. I just felt a different power than when I explored your power. Now that I think about it, it’s a bit strange. Have you ever used multiple powers at the same time?”

She thought about it carefully, but she didn’t.

“No. I haven’t.”

“Really? Then why do I feel multiple powers from you? I feel the power of other fairies too…”

“Is that a problem?”

She asked because his reaction was so serious, but Isidor quickly denied it.

“Don’t make such a serious face. It’s not a bad thing. Having various powers means that you have a lot of potential power.”

She looked closely at Isidor’s face.

‘Why do you seem to be struggling with me?’

That’s why she felt playful for no reason. She lowered my head with a sullen face and said.

“No. I’m fine, so you can be honest with me. What’s wrong with me?”

“T-That’s not it. This is just…”

Isidor, who had been making a complicated expression, swallowed hard.

“I’m not good at talking to young fairies. So if I said something strange and you were offended, then.”

Isidor, who was rolling his blue eyes, asked seriously.

“Should I give you some candy?”

“…?”

How old did this fairy think she was?

The imperial court was most influenced by the imperial family.

The nobles came to the emperor before the trial even began to express their opinions.

“Your Majesty, the Duke of Blanchet’s actions are too reckless. We need to suppress him with the authority of the imperial family…”

“No matter what the saintess did, this time her power is real. If we side with the Holy Nation once…”

There were nobles who supported the saintess in this way.

“This is a trial that is being held in the name of the imperial family. His Highness the Crown Prince’s name is also on the line. All procedures must be fair and clean.”

“That’s right. If we side with the Holy Nation according to the opinions of other nobles, the honor of the imperial family could be damaged. The imperial family is only a mediator…”

The emperor grabbed his head, which was getting more complicated than he had thought.

‘The situation has become complicated.’

In particular, since John sued Luigi in the middle, he ended up getting involved in another trial. The emperor called his closest aide, Prime Minister Orteca.

“What does the Prime Minister think?”

“I think it would be right to check the situation first and then make a decision.”

Prime Minister Orteca calmly answered.

“Because hasty decisions always lead to foolish choices.”

* * *

The next day, the emperor called all the nobles involved together. Of course, most of the nobles were involved just across the bridge, so there were a lot of them.

‘This is a much bigger deal than I thought.’

Somehow she was concerned about John’s quiet behavior.

‘It seems like he’s doing something…’

It was even more strange because he didn’t say anything to me and arrived at the court late.

‘He’s not the type to be late.’

He must have prepared something unusual!

‘What on earth has John prepared?’

She also prepared a few things for this imperial trial in her own way. First, she had collected all the testimonies of Luigi maliciously insulting her, which could be said to be the most certain evidence.

‘Don’t worry, Madam! I think I lived for today!’

‘That’s right. I’ll use all my social connections to completely bring down that empty-headed young lady.’

‘I’ll completely destroy that count who dared to fight Duchess Blanchett!’

Of course, Patricia, Betty, and Erich worked so hard that she didn’t have much to do.

‘Honestly, just pouring out these testimonies will ruin Luigi’s reputation.’

Luigi could talk nonsense until now because there were no records left. However, since the royal trial was a trial, all the proceedings were recorded.

‘A lady who spreads bad rumors.’

It would be difficult for her to be active in the social world in the future.

“…At that time, Miss Luigi deliberately mentioned Duchess Blanchett’s name to Princess Diana and put her down.”

“What did she say?”

“She subtly referred to Duchess Blanchett as a ‘low-class commoner’.”

She heard exaggerated gasps of surprise from those around her. It was an insult that would be difficult for an ordinary noble to just ignore.

Some nobles looked at her face and worried.

‘That’s not wrong.’

She was the adopted son of the Libertan Dukes, but didn’t she become meaningless when the Libertan Dukes disappeared due to treason?

‘Maybe Luigi will claim legitimacy in that way?’

The lady who was testifying glanced at her and said.

“It’s true that Princess Diana’s behavior was rough, but it was Young Lady Luigi who acted wrongly first. I think it would be good if you take that into consideration.”

Just before Princess Diana came out, Luigi stood before the people with a pale and tired face. Unlike before when he always wore flashy makeup, she looked shabby.

The emperor looked at Luigi and asked.

“Do you admit to insulting Duchess Blanchett?”

“…I.”

Luigi bit her lip. When she arrived, she saw Saint Stella standing with sad eyes, surrounded by knights.

The saint was wiping her moist eyes with a handkerchief.

‘Fortunately, it seems she has no intention of saving Luigi.’

Luigi, who had his eyes tightly shut, looked up at the emperor and said.

“I admit it. I maliciously insulted Duchess Blanchet.”

“Did you know how bad that was?”

“Yes. I knew it too. But I had my own circumstances.”

Luigi turned around and shouted at the saint.

“All those bad rumors were what the saint told me!”

The saint staggered with a pale face.

“Lu, Luigi!”

“So I think it’s not just my fault.”

Everyone’s eyes were focused on the saint and Luigi. However, she turned her head to find someone near the entrance of the banquet hall. As expected, John was standing there. John winked at her and said silently with his lips.

‘Isn’t it fun?’
