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

103

"......Know them and be careful on your own. Don't get hurt while lying around."

The Duke continued on with what he said, but all the voices were all distant to my ears.

'......I have a month left before becoming an adult?'

The incident came to a still. I seemed to have been attacked by surprise.

The big episode of the hunting competition was in full swing, so I thought there would be quite a few hard-mode deadlines left. At least, there should be time for emotional exchange.

Now I'm just trying to figure out what Eckliss is thinking and turn it into a good feeling..

'Only a month.'

I was suffocating. If I don't get a 100 percent favorability and a love confession within a month, I may never escape from this place forever.

Escape is also an escape, but the bigger problem is that when the "real princess" returns, I'm destined to die as a villain. Because, the story of this fucking game was like that.

The hand on my knees tightly grasped the hem of my skirt. I didn't want to die. I came out of the house because I studied with a certain heart.

"..........Lope"

How could I die, how could I?

"...lope, penelope, dear."

The sound of someone calling me made me came back to my senses.

"......yes, yes?"

I looked up with a sudden startle. Before I knew it, everyone at the table was looking at me. The Duke asked in wonder.

"Is there something you don't like ?"

"What? Oh, no."

I answered with quite a blank look. Became scared only by the word "birthday," I seemed to be thinking too much for a moment. I came to my senses late and muttered some awkward excuses.

"I was just thinking for a second...."

"Hey, you're a little weird today."

Leonard suddenly opened his mouth sarcastically.

"Why are you staring at a place that's so bloody from before? You have been quiet for a while, is your body itching again?"

"Leonard Eckart."

It was enough to ignore his quarrel, but somehow the Duke gave a solemn voice to warn him.

"Ck, what kind of attitude is that for an older brother?"

"She doesn't even treat me like an older brother."

"Sueup."

The man who was retorting, reluctantly shut his mouth when the Duke glared. The bumpy look and the light pink gauge bar on the head really didn't match.

I was somewhat embarrassed by the coldness of the atmosphere that began because of me. I struggled to squeeze out a smile and called the duke.

"I'm sorry. I didn't hear you because I was thinking about something else for a while, Father. Please say it again."

"Kehm. Yes."

Said the Duke before softening his rigid expression.

"You can ask if you have anything you want for your birthday."

"... ...something I want?"

"Yes, say anything you want."

I was told to search the continent right away and find a way back. But I swallowed it with difficulty, looking at the three pairs of blue eyes in my sight.
