Chapter 28: The villainess plans (1)
Shael and Clie faced each other. It was Shael who spoke first.
“What are you doing?”
“Yes?”
Clie tilted her head as if she didn’t understand. At Clie’s reaction, Shael turned to glare at me.
‘What should I say?’ It was clear that the opportunity to interrogate Clie had passed by.
So getting out of this situation was the priority now.
“It’s not what you are suspecting.”
It was true. Even though I deliberately followed Clie, it wasn’t because of what Shael was thinking.
Shael let out a sigh and glared at Clie. Then she took my hand and turned around to leave.
Shael started dragging me away. It happened when I was about to follow her as Shael wished. I heard Claire’s voice.
“Ah. You dropped this bracelet!”
Clie was holding a pure white bracelet in her hand. However, I didn’t wear a bracelet.
I couldn’t help but be surprised when I checked the bracelet properly. The bracelet Clie was holding was a bracelet that looked quite familiar.
It was the unique snake-shaped bracelet that was on the cover of the romantic fantasy novel. I was able to remember the details because it played a pretty important role in the story.
It was a bracelet of holy power that would appear in the mid-to-late half of that romanic fantasy novel.
This bracelet would give the wearer enormous holy power and become its source. What’s more, it was a tremendous artifact that even contained various mysterious functions.
It served as a surveillance item, and could store various magic. Even if the bracelet was far away, Clie, the owner, would be able to call it back.
Anyway, it seemed that my assumption was not wrong. Clie must have regressed.
Otherwise, there was no way this bracelet would appear at this point.
I looked at Clie. She had a shy smile on her face.
I must not make a mistake. I had to manage my expression properly.
The reason was simple.
This bracelet was a big topic because of the owner’s decision. It’s a bracelet that allowed its owner to gain enormous holy power, so it’s natural.
Clie, who was loved by the Crown Prince and the Mage Tower Lord, would eventually take possession of the bracelet. And the owner of the bracelet was decided before Eran Baslett was killed by Shael in the novel.
Therefore, the Eran Baslett in the novel should have known about the existence of this bracelet.FOlloow newest stories at no(v)el/bi/n(.)com
“...”
“Looking at your reaction, it seems that I am right.”
Shael remained silent. As if she was reflecting.
‘Why is this shameless villainess reflecting on things like this?’ Well, it might be because if I get mad, she won’t be able to eat those desserts anymore.
It was a very eccentric reason.
Even then, the proud villainess glared at me out of the corner of her eye, as if the situation was not to her liking. Then she said, “What are you going to do about that?”
As expected, she was a villainess with a trashy personality. Stealing my desserts and spitting out such words? She had an absolutely trash mindset.
So I immediately punished her.
“I won’t give it to you for a week.”
“Ah.”
At those words, Shael took her glaring eyes away from me. She just moaned and put on a sad face.
Okay. In order to somehow get Shael and Clie to meet, there was a setting in the novel called a “Dessert Shop” that Shael would have loved to death.
However, perhaps her love for it was so great that it was beyond what I thought. Because, the next moment, Shael opened her mouth to speak in a low voice, “Sor... y.”
Perhaps she meant to say that she was sorry. But the words did not carry on to the end.
It was only one word, sorry.
But it was a huge surprise. No matter how much she liked sweet things, she tried to utter words that meant that she was reflecting!
Even if she stopped half way, it was a big deal!
I guess this could be useful!
I arrived at the arena and took out another box.
