-Chapter 6-
Maribelle watched as the three of them took turns mocking her and acting out this clumsy play and just observed them. As if the play was now coming to an end, Lady Ceraphine who was laughing pretentiously with a fan covering her mouth turned to Maribelle with her thinly torn eyes.
“Then it would just be better to call her by her name.”
“Wouldn’t that be the right class for her?”
Have they played enough now? She was slowly getting tired of it. Maribelle who had been silent placed her fan to her cheek and replied lukewarmly.
“I wonder. Is there a need for me to be called by you, lady?”
If you summarized what the three people had been talking amongst themselves a moment ago, it could be them insulting her telling her she deserved to be insulted for not even having a proper position/title.
You are a person freeloading and not even of a direct line, so there is no title to call you.
It was a great insult to call a non family member by their name in a public setting. No matter how close they were, it was normal to call each other by each other’s titles. So it was obvious that there was no way the three people would do so without knowing this.
‘Well it’s all like this in society.’
She was sorry to say to the three people who wanted Maribelle to be humiliated and hurt by this but, the conversation between them did not mean anything to her. If she had to say something, should she say it was insignificant?
Was she angry? She was angry. There was no way she wouldn’t be. She was angry at the fact that she could not rebut their words logically. If she tried to pick things out logically, then she would have already been standing in the corner over there.
However, Maribelle was a person who knew that society did not go around just with logic.
Then did you expect I would be affected just like that?’
Maribelle slickly lifted the corners of her mouth. As if the long expression on her face a while ago was all fake, she covered it with a bright smile.
“Lady Ceraphine, it seems like you really want to call my name so I will ask you one question. Are we close friends? To the extent that you would call out my name is this very large party to have a conversation?”
“Huh? That’s not true but.”
“If there is no title to call me, then you don’t have to call me out. We don’t have any business in particular nor do we have a close relationship.”
If she could not reason them out logically, then she could only make them shut up. It was this society’s logic that the one with the loud and powerful voice would be the one to win.
As if Maribelle suddenly thought something while looking at Lady Ceraphine’s dark face, she turned her head.
“Ah that’s right, Arinel. I specially will give you permission. You can call me sister right? It shouldn’t be hard since that is what family calls each other.”
Right? Looking at Maribelle’s amicable smile, Arinel seemed like she was flustered. However, she was more tactful than the two idiotic ladies behind her an quickly found a way to respond.
“Sister, what do you mean no special relationship. They are my friends. Why are you being so cold when my friends just want to be close to you?”
In short, she was trying to set her up for nothing big. Okay, then I will also set it out like that. Isn’t it the trick you used the most? Maribelle laughed inwardly.
“I wonder, Arinel. I don’t think the level of your friends match me to get along well. How could I get along with ignorant people who call others’ names recklessly in public?”
“I-ignorant?”
Maribelle smiled at Lady Ephra’s provoking words. It felt like she would see blood on her neck soon. How could you fall for just this provocation? Maribelle, with her heart filled with pity, slightly scrunched the middle of her forehead and gave out a smile.
“Lady Ephra. Did you perhaps not know that it is rude to call out someone’s name? If you did so while knowing, then I shouldn’t call you ignorant but change my words to insolent/rude.”
If you say you did it because you did not know, then I will forgive you, If not, then you are insolent. If you summed it up, this was what Maribelle was saying.
Lady Ephra was of course perhaps speechless. Maribelle was quite sympathetic for her, who was angry but could not say anything and was just standing there with a red face as she could not even control her facial expression.
In the end, Arinel intervened.
“Sister, don’t you think it is ignorant of you to be like this? Is this the courtesy you learned to do such a thing in the middle of a party about something that is not even that big of a deal?”
“Those words, it would be great if you said those exact words to your etiquette teacher. You are so slow in learning etiquette that your teachers seemed to have a lot of headaches.”
“Wha-what?”
“Did I say something wrong? It’s my first time knowing that you were someone who took etiquette this seriously. Ah, are you perhaps embarrassed that you haven’t memorized all the etiquette yet?”
“Sister!”
“If you want to value etiquette, you should at least know you should not scream in a public setting. Arinel. It is because you are like this that the etiquette teacher is having such a hard time.”
Looking at Arinel whose face was so red that she felt sympathetic, Maribelle let out a bored smile.
‘If I did this much then they wouldn’t bother me anymore would they?’
To think they would be agitated by just this much. Maribelle signed inwardly.
This was just a warning. It was just a warning telling them to not bother her anymore. It was not enough to call just this revenge. Maribelle in the end could not be satisfied with just this. Maribelle had been a victim to more than just this and the hatred was too deep.
‘Just how many things you have done to me, there is no way I would be satisfied with just doing this at a party.
Maribelle smiled bitterly as she turned her gaze away. The disturbance of the three people had caused a bit of a crowd to form. Thinking that she had to get through that crowd made her head hurt.
‘Now I really want to rest for a bit.’
Her feet hurt way more than before. The heavy dress also played a role in her fatigue. Although Maribelle was dying to get some rest, it was self-evident that she would not be able to rest today.
The reason was because Lorentz was walking towards them.
“What is this commotion? You are blatantly tarnishing the name of the family.”
Although there were fights in spirit between unmarried youngsters in parties like this, it was common sense that if possible, it should not be out of control.
‘I’m in trouble.’
Even more, Lorentz had warned her the other day for Maribelle to stay quietly; therefore, it was probable that he was angry. Maribelle’s face that was covered with a fan let our a vague smile.
‘I didn’t know he would point us out so quickly like this.’
At the very least, she had planned to deal with the aftermath back at home. In the middle of a party with Arinel and Lorentz, her head hurt.
“Dad…..”
She already started her play. Seeing Arinel with her eyes already filled with tears, Maribelle took a step back. No matter what she thought, there was nothing good about facing him directly in front right now.
I should run.
Without having the power to stand up directly against Uncle Lorentz, there was nothing good about confronting him head to head.
‘There really is nothing going right today.’
While Maribelle sighed inwardly, she slowly took steps backwards without being noticed. If she made a bit of a distance and then blended in with the crowd…
Tap.
She got something stuck on her feet. What is it? There is no way there is a pillar here.
“Silver hair and purple dress. If you want to hide, you should have hidden well.”
Maribelle’s spread out long hair was grabbed and lifted a little. This voice, she felt like she had heard it somewhere. Maribelle carefully turned her head to confirm who was behind her back.
“You, I think we have something to talk about.”
Blonde hair and red eyes. Even without much adornments, his beautiful features made a splendid impression. A sharp looking man was smiling softly with his eyes. It was an appearance that was not strange if someone fell for him at just once glance. Maribelle realized.
‘I’m doomed.’
There was a beast lurking in that smile.
Blonde hair that signified the imperial family. There was only one man in the kingdom known for his red eyes. Feophil’s tyrant. Ehterland Reghina Feopil. The person Maribelle ran away from.
So the reason why the emperor, Etherland, had chased her could only be explained by one reason.
‘He’s going to catch and kill me.’
She had overheard the secret and even got caught. The chances that the emperor who was known to not even show mercy to those around him letting her go was slim, close to 0. Instead, it was more hopeful to find a rock that would not cause ripples in the water when thrown in.
In front was an angry uncle and Arinel. In the back was an emperor known to be a notorious tyrant. Only after living two lives did Maribelle fully realize what it meant for the blood in her back to go cold.
What should I do?
1 second felt like 1 minute. It was said that if you were too much in a hurry, time would pass by slower, but now she felt like it was the truth.
‘The situation is too bad.’
The story might have been different if she had met the emperor at another time. Then she would have appealed for him to listen to her words even if it meant holding onto his pants and bedding. But what she could do now was….
“Your Majesty?”
Maribelle woke up from her imagination with Lorentz’s voice.
Maribelle moved her still blank eyes to look at Lorentz.
Although it was his birthday party, it would be weird not to be surprised seeing the emperor who had disappeared from his own party and was not seen for most of it. You could see the surprised in his eyes.
‘Then.’
Maribelle swallowed her dry saliva. Maribelle’s thoughts that were dark bow suddenly came up with a perfect plan to deal with the current situation.
No matter, she would still be losing out. Maribelle totally just turned around and stood facing Etherland. Because he was standing directly behind her, they were now only separated by a distance that was barely a fingers worth.
Stance, position is good and the situation is good. Whew. Let’s take a deep breath.
Maribelle placed her hands on his shoulders. At once, irritation was evident on Etherland’s face.
“What are you doing?”
“You are looking for the person who interrupted your private conversation with Peregrine, right?
This could be Maribelle’s way of ending her breath or it could become the key to her revenge.
Maribelle calmly wrapped her hands around the red necktie that was the same color as his eyes. Right now, the irritation on Etherland’s face increased, but to Maribelle, that was less important than flies flying around.
The only one who can overcome this situation is me. Maribelle lifted her tense face and lightly smiled.
“Your Majesty. Please don’t look back for a moment.”
“You’re begging me to kill you aren’t you”
“I’m going to kiss you right now so please bear with me for 3 seconds.”
“What?”
“Shh.”
Maribelle leaned towards him. In the midst of the attention from the crowd, Maribelle lowly whispered.
“If you want to know about the clue to the crown prince’s location, please stay still.”
With the words Maribelle whispered that were the sweetest words Etherland would want to hear, she just as sweetly met his lips.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
