The Villain’s Daughter Plans To Run Away

Chapter 43

Sian, who had been left in the warehouse, couldn’t move for a while.

He had heard that Vallois was bad, but he hadn’t expected him to be this scary.

‘To live.’

To the extent it was the second time he was afraid after Billishia was angry.

‘As expected from what the Master said, Vallois is scary.’

If he had decided to, Sian would have already died.

However, the fact that Cassis cared for Billishia to that extent wasn’t a good situation for him.

‘I can’t beat Vallois.’

There was still no strength in the legs that were sitting as if they were about to collapse.

Cassis made his legs look like this with just the roughly spilled Magi.

But what if I go against Vallois?

‘I can’t keep my promise to Billishia that I’ll be with her for the rest of my life.’

“…It feels bad.”

He tried to hide his trembling expression and stared at his wide-open palm.

The joints were rough.

In addition, the empty palms showed his poor swordsmanship skills.

Sian suddenly realized why he felt bad.

‘I’m too young.’

He can’t get away from the Master.

That said, he couldn’t even stand by Billishia stubbornly, disobeying the command of Vallois.

“…Ugh, annoying.”

Nothing was going well with this body.

He sat down on his knees with a puzzled look on his face, pondering.

“If I want to stay with Billishia, I have to either get 5,000 gold or burn the slave documents of the Master.”

First, he couldn’t be by Billishia’s side as he was a slave.

Even if she didn’t discriminate against his status, his body was already tied up with 5,000 gold.

If he remains in the duchy, assassins will continue to attack them.

Cassis was right.

“…We’ll have to stay together later.”

Sian, who made a realistic decision, stood up bitterly.

It was right for Billishia as well.

***

At that time, the Empress’ Palace.

“Can you hear me?”

“Yes, Your Imperial Majesty. I’m listening.”

“…Hm?”

Surprised by the sudden reply, the Empress hurriedly hid the communication stone.

When she turned her head, a puzzled maid was pouring tea with her head down.

“Did you call me?”

Hastily hiding the communication tool, Isilis tried to hide her bewildered expression.

“…Nothing. Would you mind stepping aside for a moment?”

“But the tea…”

“I want to rest alone.”

As she cut her off and answered with an elegant yet firm tone, the maid nodded again and disappeared.

Isilis, left alone, nervously bit his lower lip.

She again pulled the communication stone from the hem of her sleeve.

Something was wrong.

If Peter hadn’t received the communication, she should have felt the energy that cut off the mana by force.

‘I can’t feel the energy itself.’

As if the communication stone had been broken.

“…Sian. Can’t you hear me?”

With her last determination, she called out to him, yet she also got no answer.

“Looks like it’s broken.”

Annoyed, the Empress threw the communication stone onto the table like a bug.

Although he was 8 years old, he’s the main character of this world.

Thus she thought he would have something extraordinary, but as expected, he was useless when he was young.

Although she expected that he would be caught because his opponent was Vallois, she was bewildered because the timing came earlier than she thought.

“…Master.”

It was then.

Someone approached from the blind spot on the terrace where sunlight didn’t come in.

It was Kal, an exclusive mercenary who quietly watched the situation in the shadows.

“If Vallois broke the communication stone, they might suspect that Peter isn’t just a slave.”

After hearing what she already knew, the Empress sighed in exhaustion.

“I have to make the next plan.”

“Next plan?”

“Will you bring me the jewelry box in the room?”

The man tilted his head at the sudden order, but he dutifully brought the jewelry box.

The Empress was no fool.

Obviously, she had prepared it in case the Vallois side noticed.

When she opened the gold jewelry box, jewels more beautiful than gold glittered.

She took out a lump of unknown jewel that was stuck between the shiny necklace and earrings.

It was another communication stone.

[I’m greeting Your Imperial Majesty the Empress.]

“It’s been a while since I’ve seen Your Royal Highness the Queen. How have you been?”

[Yes. Thanks to Your Imperial Majesty.]

‘An honorific title?’

The redhead pricked up his ears, pretending not to be interested.

And soon he realized who the opponent was.

‘Queen of the Law Kingdom.’

There were few people whom Isilis, the Empress of the Rolls Empire, had to use an honorific title.

Either the Emperor or the head of other kingdoms and empires.

However, the Law Kingdom was already defeated and lost its function as a royal family.

‘That’s very kind of her.’

The man, who was curious inwardly, guessed that it was the Empress’ last consideration in dealing with the royal lineage.

However, his guess was wrong.

“It’s none other than Peter, whom I bought for 5,000 gold, ran away.”

[…Yes? Really? That child couldn’t have done that. Although he’s not shy, he’s a child who listens well and silently does his job…]

“That’s what Your Royal Highness the Queen told me. That’s why I bought the child for 5,000 gold.”

Holding the communication stone, she was smiling like a thorn.

Lies flowed skillfully from between her torn lips.

“Peter ran away. The last place taken before the communication stone was destroyed was the duchy of Vallois.”

[W-What did you say?]

She imagined the contemplative Queen opening her mouth wide.

Isilis shut her mouth for a moment.

She wanted to give the Queen time to feel shock and resentment towards Peter.

Only then could she bring Peter out of Vallois.

“It was unfortunate. A year hasn’t even passed and it’s already broken. Speaking of which, I would like the Law Kingdom to bring Peter back.”

[But Your Imperial Majesty…]

“Will 5,000 gold be enough?”

[…Pardon?]

“If you can bring Peter back, I will buy him again. Ah, it would be nice to avenge the Law Kingdom, so it would be nice to bring the youngest princess.”

The Law Kingdom had already been defeated by Vallois.

Isilis, who understood that of course she hesitated, responded leisurely.

[…]

After hearing the reward, she was predictably quiet.

The Queen must have been more surprised at the 5,000 gold than Peter had run away, so she couldn’t even speak properly.

[…T-That…]

Soon Isilis, noticing the Queen’s erratic breathing, laughed contentedly.

What happens when your greed and anger mix?

You lose your reason and ability to make good judgments.

In other words, the Queen does.

[I-I will do it. Is 5,000 gold just for bringing the two kids somehow?]

Meaning she becomes impulsive like a 5-year-old.

“Yes. Once you bring them to the Law Kingdom, I will take care of the rest.”

[…You said 5,000 gold.]

“Yes, that’s right.”

[Thank you, thank you. Your Imperial Majesty.]

Popㅡ

The Queen, who emphasized the amount until the end, cut off the communication with excitement.

There was a moment of silence.

The Empress considered the redhead, whom she had hired as a mercenary under her direct command, to be absent.

Because of that, the redhead who could hear every conversation swallowed his dry saliva.

‘She ordered the Law Kingdom to carry out a series of kidnappings?’

He couldn’t understand.

If even the Law Kingdom failed in the abduction, it would only make matters worse.

“…Your Imperial Majesty.”

“Yeah.”

“Wouldn’t it be right for me to do the kidnapping?”

“Why?”

“If the Law Kingdom kidnapped and left an excuse, Vallois would think that the instigator of the incident related to Peter was the Law Kingdom.”

Light green eyes finally stared at him at the crude answer.

“Then it’s even better.”

“…Yes?”

The Empress, refraining from answering for a while, poured herself black tea.

She elegantly took a sip of tea and smiled beautifully as if savoring the taste.

“Then that means I have nothing to do with this case.”

***

“I have to go and congratulate him!”

I, who rarely woke up early in the morning, ran from my bedroom.

Today was a historic day.

It’s Sian’s first job day as a servant!

Instead of hiring Sian as a servant, Dad changed the place he was in charge to his drawing room.

I was disappointed, but not something to be sad about.

‘My friend is making money, you know!’

I raised my cotton fist and shook my head.

And now, even when we meet officially, no one will say anything!

I, who abused the power of Vallois, did it!

“Princess.”

It was then.

As I stepped out to celebrate my friend’s first job.

“Sian!”

I turned my head at the familiar voice behind me.

Sian was walking through the sunlight.

“Hello.”

Brilliant blonde hair shimmered in the light.

The black shirt neatly fastened under a faint smile, perhaps ashamed, was impressive.

‘It’s a real servant outfit!’

He was wearing the dark purple vest and trousers, typical of Vallois.

Is it because he looks like a doll?

Sian, who was fully dressed, looked like a servant, yet at first glance, he also looked like an aristocrat dressed in light clothes.

“Congratulations on your job!”

Toot, toot.

I blew the toy trumpet I had prepared in advance.

“?”

A little taken aback by the surprise, he laughed, pfft.

Hihi. Celebration success!

“Where are you going anyway? If you’re in charge of Dad, you should probably be working on the 7th floor.”

“I was on my way to the second annex by His Grace’s order.”

I, who had been following Sian, widened my eyes.

“Isn’t that the lodging where servants stay?”

“I’m still a rookie, so I was in charge of cleaning.”

“Aha.”

He can’t serve directly under Dad right away.

‘Because Dad is only surrounded by people with high ranks.’

It was I who helped him get the job, but from now on, Xi’an’s future will change at his discretion.

I internally cheered for my friend who started slowly from chores.

“Then, shall we go to the second annex?”

Lisa, who had followed my words, looked at Sian as if to kill him.

He naturally refused.

“If His Grace hears…”

“It’s okay, I beat Dad.”

I screamed out loud thinking that he would refuse again.

“…Then please go with me. I greeted the Princess as I have something to give to you.”

Huuhh?

It’s working.

‘And what is he giving me?’

Is it a gift for offering him a job?

“L-Lisa. Mister knights. Keep your distance for a moment.”

“Yes?”

Tck, Sian is opening his heart, though.

If I keep my distance, it’ll be ruined.

Flutterㅡ

“H-Hurry up!”

Slightly stunned, I shook my hand and drove away Lisa and the knights.

“…You’re giving something to me?”

Give = gift.

I snorted like a dragon and sent my bright eyes to Sian.

He smiled, then politely handed over the gift with both hands.

“You don’t have to give me this, but I’ll take it anyway!”

Our Sian… Finally, you’re all grown up, to think that you gave me a present!

I took off the packaging while trying to kill the desire to boast widely to people.
