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

Finally, I sent Eclise back to his quarters because he didn't want to take out the choker.

"Have you come, Miss?"

The butler welcomed me.

"Whats going on, butler?"

I was puzzled, because before I met Eclise, I had a long conversation with him.

"There's an urgent news for you."

"Suddenly? What kind of news? I told you to turn down all invitations."

After passing the umbrella and shawl to Emily, I went to the desk and sat down.

Perhaps because of the queen's hunt at the hunting competition, invitations have been flooding in these days.

The butler recommended me to attend a party held at a prestigious family, about one or two, but I ordered him to use it as a fuel for fire. Because I couldn't afford to deal with a second Kellin.

"That...."

The butler replied with a slight hesitation to my question.

"It was a letter from the royal messenger, so I couldn't handle it in my own way."

"The Imperial..... Palace?"

When I looked to the buter with a puzzled eyes, he exclaimed something with an embarrassed face.

Luxurious letter envelope engraved with a glittering yellow dragon. There was a sudden sense of deja vu.

I'm sure it's gonna be...

"Oh my! My lady has been very active at the hunting competition, so I guess we've been invited from the palace!"

Unaware of all the story from the hunting competition, Emily glistened her eyes and uttered terrible words.

"Ha...."

I breathed a deep sigh.

'It's here, it's here.'

After getting out of the palace like running away, I turned down all the invitations party and locked myself in the house.

It was because I thought it would go into the ears of the prince, even if I said nothing. I thought I'd be able to move on because there wasn't much response.

"Give it to me."

With a deep sigh, I received the letter from the butler.

Then I opened the envelope with a paper-knife, took out the contents, and started reading them.

[Dear Lady Penelope Eckart, No, should I say "Beloved" now?

With all due respect, My Lady.

There's been a lot out of the last conversation we had when I woke up.

The court made a big fuss about it and put me in a very awkward position.

In the meantime, I've been busy trying to sort it up and I send a letter now.

I think you and me need to have a serious conversation again, what do you think?

Please come to the Imperial Palace as soon as possible.

Otherwise, you'll regret it.

"Arghh, crazy!"

I crumbled the paper as if it was my first letter.

"..... Did he want to meet with you again, Miss?"
