(2) Living as the Villainess Queen

Chapter 244

At first, she really was flustered when Kid appeared all of sudden. But due to Kid, she had found out that Sang-je was excessively forgiving towards Jin and she had also managed to slip out earlier than she expected.

Elated by the praise, Kid did a twirl on the back of her hand. While she was laughing at the sight of Kid, something odd crossed her mind.

‘How come Sang-je didn’t notice that Kid was actually a Hwansu?’

Hwansu is in fact a special lark. If Sang-je truly was God’s vicegerent, shouldn’t he be more agile in identifying lark’s presence, which practically were the intruder of this world? However, he failed to even take notice of a lark which was right under his nose.

‘What if Sang-je was actually related to the tribe of the ancient times? It’s said that it is the tribe who can foresee the future that hogged all the knowledge regarding the spells. Is it possible that they are using the spells to act as the leader of a cult? If so, the high priest wouldn’t differ from much. Or maybe they are actually conspiring to fool everyone… Have I gone too far?’

Momentarily, the carriage gradually slowed down to a halt. After a while, it started moving again, Eugene saw that they had just passed the magnificent iron gate which was widely opened, when she pulled the curtain.

‘Ah… I’ve finally made it back.’

In the Holy City, there are mansions which are owned respectively by the royals from all the six kingdoms. But unlike how the mansions are usually built around a neighborhood, the exclusive residential areas of the royal kingdoms were located sparsely around the Holy Palace.

‘I’m home.’

Just by thinking that there’s someone waiting for her return in there, has made all her worries disappear and put her mind at ease at once. Eugene realized yet again about how much she was relying on him.

She had heard that Jin never stayed in this mansion before—she had left right after the wedding ceremony with Sang-je as officiant and spent a fake bridal night in an annex which Sang-je provided for them. Eugene was eagerly looking forward to it even before she arrived as it was a new place which Jin had no memory of.

Soon, the carriage came to a stop. Eugene quickly hid Kid back under her sleeve before the door could open. She had expected Pides to be standing outside when her door opened in a moment.

All of sudden, someone shoved his upper body through the opened door. Eugene was startled as she was just about to rise from the seat. But when she found a set of blue eyes staring right into hers, her set expression softened almost immediately.

Suppressing a surge of emotions, Eugene gave her hand to Kasser when he offered. She was overwhelmed when she felt the strong squeeze of his hand as he took on hers.

She stared into the massive mansion which came right into her sight as she stepped onto the ground. It was structured with a stair leading into its interior and there were servants lined up on each floor in their standardized uniforms.

Although it was incomparable when it comes to size, it definitely was more practical than a castle. Somehow, it made her feel as if she really has become someone of high social standing.

“Let’s go inside, my queen.”

“Alright.” Eugene turned her head after taking a few steps. When she spotted Pides, who was standing in the distance, she said, “Sir Pides, thank your escort.”
