Chapter 52.2




Chapter 52 – I Like It Right Now
Knock, knock
At that moment, someone entered Aileen’s room. The door was immediately opened and closed without her permission.
Surprised, Aileen rose and looked towards the door.
“…That’s rude.”
“I’m sorry, Your Royal Highness, but I have something I must tell you…”
It was Lisa.
Lisa checked Aileen’s face and asked with her eyes wide open, “I heard you went out… did something happen? Why are you crying?”
“It’s none of Lisa’s business.”
“….”
Even though it was clear how much she was hated, Lisa had to cling to her (Aileen), or all her plans would go awry if it turned out to be like this.
“Your Royal Highness…”
Aileen interrupted her when she cautiously called her and uttered.
“I will return to my country.”
“Yes…?!”
The words she was afraid of came out of Aileen’s mouth. Becoming impatient, Lisa took one step closer.
“Y, Your Royal Highness.”
“Right… it is right to go back. This is a strange place. I don’t want to be here anymore.”
Choked up with emotion, Aileen held back her anger by biting her lower lip.
She was so confused. Her resolve had been shaken a dozen times during the day, and she felt the ups and downs of her emotions going back and forth from heaven and hell. She asserted she had never been like this before.
As she pointed at her throbbing head, asking Lisa to quit it, Lisa suddenly screamed.
“You must get married! You’re here to marry the Grand Duke Etous!”
Lisa approached her with threatening steps. Aileen replied as she looked at her.
“…Didn’t you hear me? I’m going to give up and go back.”
“Your Royal Highness!”
“That Grand Duke has a woman.”
Ha, Lisa let out a sigh as if it was ridiculous.
What’s the big deal as if you didn’t know the rumors going around about Kaligo Etous?
“You knew the rumors beforehand, didn’t you?!”
“It wasn’t like that.”
Holding her handkerchief tightly, Aileen continued as she gathered her breath, “Who is playing whom? It wasn’t a light joke, do you understand?! I don’t think…there’s even a slight chance for me.”
Whether she was in the carriage or in the bedroom, what lingered in her mind over and over again was the look in Kaligo’s eyes as he looked at Ashia… how could that gaze be playing with a woman? Meanwhile, Lisa’s face was strangely distorted as Aileen continued.
“Who was it?”
“What?”
“I am asking what kind of family that Lady came from.”
“What does it matter?”
“Tell me, please.”
“….”
Lisa’s eyes urging her to answer seemed to have gotten even darker than their original color. It was almost as though it was seething in madness. Aileen thought that her aura was terrifying, and without realizing it, she spat out a name.
“A, Ashia Bliss.”
“….”
Ashia Bliss… Lisa’s eyebrows were subtly distorted by her answer.
‘Again, again… it’s you again, Ashia.’
It just never ends. How long and how far are you planning to linger with this sickening ill-fated relationship?
‘As expected…’
Looks like I’ll just have to kill her. This ill-fated relationship will only end if I kill her. Haha
While the vicious expression still remained on her face, Lisa laughed in a lower voice than usual. At that, fear on Aileen’s face grew even more apparent.
“…Lisa?”
“…You will do that marriage.”
I need you to move as planned in the first place. That way, I can get what I want.
“…What?”
“With the Grand Duke Kaligo Etous… you will go ahead with the wedding.”
So. tell me that you’re going to marry him right now, and that you’ll marry that man by any means you can.
“…Lisa.”
“Please, answer me that you will get married… that you will marry that Grand Duke.”
Aileen looked perplexed. Her purpose was, of course, the same though in this situation, a marriage was…
“Lisa, as I said before, he already has a woman in his heart—”
“That extraordinary playboy!”
“….”
When she screamed again, Aileen’s shoulders shrank.
“…He can’t be serious, right?! What is wrong with you all of a sudden? You already knew everything! She is probably also a passing affair of his!!”
“Lisa…”
Glancing down at the floor and giggling, Lisa started to laugh as she shrugged her shoulders as if she had seen something funny in front of her.
“How dare that low-born bitch be the Grand Duke’s companion? Grand Duchess…? She is not even worthy of that. He only fell in love with her just because of her pretty appearance.”
She tilted her head, widening her eyes in a shrill voice.
“…That can happen before marriage, right? Your Royal Highness thinks the same too, right?”
“….”
“So, ask His Majesty the Emperor of the Perthenian Empire for help! Make them send a firm demand on the Karhan Empire!!”
Lisa’s voice, which had changed again, resounded through her bedroom.
[ T/N: The being is fictional, but my anger is real. I can never like this character. Author-nim should definitely give Lisa a torturous death, or I will rally seething anger ]
