[Part 2] Death Is The Only Ending For The Villain (FOR OFFLINE READING PURPOSE)

102

Someone knocked the door. I only turned my head towards the door while lounging on the bed. It was obvious that they would visit my room anyway.

“Lady, this is Penel.”

The butler, one of the obvious and expected people, announced himself.

“Come in.”

I heard the sound of the last chock, and after a while I heard the door open.

I greeted the butler upside down.

“…lady. Were you enjoying the sewage?”

The butler, who had just entered, opened his eyes wide when he saw me like that.

“I’m sorry. I just heard from Emily that you just got back from the walk but.…”

Suddenly, the butler bowed his head and apologized. I glanced at him and replied.

“No, I just got in. I was just relaxing.”

“You don’t lie in a straight posture.”

“I was about to get up. What’s going on?”

“The Duke…”

The butler hesitated a little and then came clean about his business.

“He said he’d like to have a quick luncheon between all of the family members.”

“……luncheon?”

I frowned at once. I didn’t participate in the invitation to dinner that Leonard delivered recently. It was quite rude, but there was no response from the Duke. That’s why I thought it was over…

“Is there another reason why I have to be involved? I just want to eat roughly and relax in my room today.”

“The Duke has something to tell you, so please participate.”

‘Phew.’

I sighed quietly so that the butler wouldn’t hear it.

I didn’t want to participate because of the words “between all family members.”

Aside from the Duke and Leonard, I had to see the face of the first son too, which I don’t want to.

“Then get me something now. A simple bread or a soup.”

“…yes? With dinner coming up, why…..”

“I don’t want to starve again before the food.”

“Oh, lady.”

The butler called me in contemplation at the murmur of his shoulders.

“Never again, it won’t happen again.”

The butler acted as if I had spewed any taboos and it was a bit funny. I snorted back.

“How can you be so sure?”

“While you were participating in the hunting competition, we replaced the dining room’s employees.”

That was rather a surprising news. Looking back with glimmer in his eyes, the butler continued. For some reason, he looked a little solemn.

“And today’s dinner place is not in the dining room, miss.”

“Then?”

“The Duke specifically ordered us to prepare a meal in the glass greenhouse.”

“Glass… …greenhouse?”

“Yes, the autumn flowers are in full bloom. I hope that the lady will come and see it, too.”
