The Villainess Wants to Make Her Husband Slim Down

CHAPTER 82

4 (3) – 9

"Have you seen Lord Alois?"

No matter who Camilla asked, it didn't seem as if anyone could answer that question.

In Blume's main square, the festival preparations were keeping everyone busy that morning.

As Victor's group had their final practice on the stage they were going to perform on, they were having their last-minute debates about this note or another.

In a quieter corner of the square, a tent had been set up as both a changing and storage room. Inside, Mia was making some final adjustments to the band's costumes. Nicole was busy helping out, so she wasn't by Camilla's side.

Klaus was instructing the manpower in the square. With the stands needing erecting by midday, the young men were busy running to and fro carrying wood and other supplies.

Along the main boulevard, Günter was orchestrating the food stalls that were going up one after another.

Amongst all these busy people, she couldn't see sight nor sound of Alois.

Thinking that he was maybe busy organizing preparations somewhere, Camilla asked all sorts of people, but none of them had seen Alois. He had definitely been with them when they set out to begin the preparations for the festival that morning, but once things started to become busy it was like he had just melted away into the crowds.

– I thought it would have been nice to have him make some garlands with me.

Even after using a lot of them as decorations for the festival, there were still a large amount of flowers leftover from the deliveries the florists had made. She had found it boring making them alone in the tent, so she hoped that perhaps he could help her and set off to find him, but that wish had fallen flat.

– Just what is he doing, I wonder?

As Camilla worriedly thought about Alois' whereabouts, she dejectedly walked back to the tent. If he was only running an errand, he had been gone a long time, what's more, no one had seen him at all.

That being said, Alois wasn't exactly the kind of person who should be disappearing like this. If he was going somewhere he should, by all means, have told them, not to mention taking one or two people as escorts.

It was out of character for him to just slip away like this. Did he get into an accident? Or maybe he...

– Something feels wrong.

Should she ask Klaus to help search? No... Instead, should she take another look around the area? Perhaps he had been nearby this entire time and they just hadn't seen each other through pure bad luck? But...

Inside the tent, Mia and Nicole were working hard to iron out any wrinkles in the band's costumes.

Camilla's anxiety that caused her eyebrows to knit together in worry was drowned out by a sudden explosion that rang out from the direction of the main street.

As soon as she heard that booming sound, Camilla ran out of the tent in a hurry. Mia and Nicole too left the tent, utterly bewildered by the sudden noise.

The people who were working in the plaza had a similar reaction. Just as Camilla had jumped out of the tent, Victor and the others had put down their instruments and gotten off the stage to see what was going on at the same time. 'What's going on?' and 'What was that?', those sorts of voices began to buzz through the square.

Looking further, she could see that people were also looking shocked on the main street. Thankfully, it didn't seem as if there had been any injuries or damage to the stalls. But everyone who was milling around had a look of confusion on their faces, wondering just what on earth the source of that noise had been.
