The Villainess Does It With Class

Chapter 8 - Knot Again!

"Don't you think it's such a good day for a stroll?" I said as the five of them washed me. I still feel a little embarrassed but I have gotten used to it anyway.

"But aren't you always strolling around the mansion, milady?" Amy pointed out. She has gotten talkative these past few days and wasn't that nervous around me anymore.

Freesia held out a towel for me as I come out of the tub. Mari and Lily dried my body while Amy attended my hair, wringing out the excess water.

"I'm talking about going to the capital."

Slipping the robe on, we went to my bedroom where Freesia and Erin were in, waiting for us. They were both holding two dresses for me to choose from and after hearing what I said, went back inside the closet to find another dress, fit for going out.

I honestly think there's no need for that because all of my dresses look like they're for going out.. Looking at how fussy they were being, I could already predict that they're going to complain, so I shut my mouth.

"Milady's going to the capital?" Mari asked and looked at me in confirmation.

"Mmm. I want to look around..."

Nadia likes going to the capital and she would regularly splurge her money, buying useless and expensive stuff. They might be thinking that I'm going there to buy anything.

"Then let Lily and Erin accompany you, milady," Mari responded while styling my hair. I looked at her in the mirror and saw her wink.

So she's also aware that Lily still doesn't trust me that's why she's giving me a chance to get closer to her.

Marigold! You're making me cry!

I got dressed in time with their help and Freesia went out to notify the coachman about my departure. As we made our way to the entrance, George came out of nowhere, so I stopped.

"Good Afternoon George."

"Is the young miss going somewhere?" He inquired, standing there looking upright.

George has been the Herman family's butler for a very long time. He was already the butler when my father became the Marquis and he still is now. He looks like an ancient being in my eyes.

I noticed from these past few days that he's been watching me. I didn't say anything though and just did my thing, ignoring him. He's probably acting out of order, probably from a person who finds me suspicious.

"I am going to look around the capital. Do you need anything?" I looked at him, smiling expectantly.

"No milady. I wish for your safe journey." He said and gave a bow.

"Thank you~" I beamed and started walking again. Just then, I remembered something and turned back to George who remained standing at the side.

"Ah! Tell my brother I'm only going to stroll around the capital and that he doesn't need to worry." I added and flashed a grin.

He looked surprised for a second but then gave a nod.

"I will, milady."

Still grinning, I resumed moving and made a bee-line to the waiting carriage outside. I was laughing on the inside. Just imagining Nathan's stunned expression, I already feel delighted. Oh, how I would pay riches to see Nathaniel looking ruffled.

I didn't realize I had let out a chuckle, not until I saw Erin looking at me with question marks all over her face.

"We wish for milady's safe journey." The four of them stated in unison after we got inside the carriage.
