I Become The Wife of The Male Lead

I told Sigren about what had happened recently, but I heard rather unexpected news.

Lady Eunice was attacked?

Why?

Was the culprit caught?

Yeah, they were caught on the spot.

I was nervous.

What is their identity? Who is their owner?

Eunice was definitely not the type to hold a grudge.

Sigren shook his head.

They were not mercenaries commissioned by someone. They are rather ordinary men. But there was something unusual about it.

And that is?

They are the strong believer of Bill Curtis ideas.

What does that have to do with Lady Eunice?

I quickly closed my mouth. I got it. Bill Curtis argued that the darkness was a god and punished wrongdoing. However, Eunice has the power to stand against such darkness. For those who agreed with Bill, Eunice was the enemy.

I sighed. I never thought there would be such a case

I agree.

Did you increase the escort the Lady Eunice? How is her injury?

I increased it. And I heard that her injuries are not serious. But it must give her quite a shock.

Right

There was one more reason in my mind to catch Bill Curtis.

Sigren looked at me in wonder.

Are you going to visit her? I thought you would go right away.

I grinned. I feel like I should prepare a present for my visit first.

The neck of the person who gave her a shock should be an appropriate giftright? Ah, no, I didnt think Eunice would be very happy.

Sigren, I have a favor to ask you.

Tell me anything.

Ugh, he shouldnt say things like that carelessly.

It could be a little bit annoying.

Its fine.

That was an instant answer.

I looked into his eyes, Can you go to your father and spill a little about Bill Curtis? If possible, you could also butter him up.

Of course, Sigrens expression became stranger.

Why?

His Majesty is a man with a great pride.

That was about it, in a good way. But to be more precise, he has a strong desire to show off. In his mind, the Imperial family bloodline always had to stand out.

Im sure he would be very upset to hear about Bill Curtis. Curtis was now talking about being special or chosen one.

Aha.

It would be nice if you could make him think of treason. Well, that sounds like it would be difficult. You just have to make him wanting Bill Curtis out of his sight.

I blinked an eye.

Just to the point that even if I touch the Curtis family, His Majesty would ignore it.

I see what you mean. Ill give it a try.

Sigren smiled and continued.

Anyway, once you make up your mind and move, its scary.

Heyy, come on, really? Thats too much.

***

I have finished gathering information on Bill Curtis. The standard tactics were roughly made, and the preparations were roughly finished.

It turned out Bill also ran a secret club attended by nobles, and he also gave sermons periodically in a dilapidated but spacious building with an attached hall. The nobles of the secret club gathered there in half fear of darkness and half wanting to play. But the people who came to hear his preach were different. They were more desperate.

Lady Fiona, you must have finally made up your mind.

Oh, of course, I did. To get rid of you. Currently, I was employing the regular method.

I visited Bills house in person.

Of course, Ive decided.

I grinned.

What you said is true.

At least the claim that we survived the darkness. Other than that, everything seemed false.

Of course, I didnt lie.

A faint desire bloomed on Bill Curtis face.

As expected, Lady Fiona must have heard it too. That voice.

Voice? I remembered the hallucinations noise. Oh, it wasnt hallucinations.

Yes, Ive heard.

Bill raised the corner of his mouth.

Actually, there is something I want to ask you. I think that voice

How the hell did you get in here? You cant go in there! At that time, there was a commotion outside the drawing room.

Bill opened the door with an annoyed expression on his face.

Its very noisy, whats going on!

Outside, a soldier and a middle-aged woman stood.

I apologized, my lord. This woman sneaks into the mansion.

How the hell do you handle things?!

Despite the harsh situation, the woman looked at Bill with eagerness in her eyes.

Cou, Count The last time you said.

Noisy! Kick her out right now!

I got up and walked towards the door.

Meanwhile, the woman staggered closer to Bill.

Count please I beg you my son.

This woman has been a bother since last time!

Bill, who spoke out of annoyance, raised his hand to the woman.

Stop.

I asked, grasping Bills almost swinging, and threw it quickly.

What are you doing?

Bill responded as if it were natural. To bring this stupid woman to her senses.

Just send a soldier to send her out.

I frowned.

Isnt this because of what the Count said in the first place? You have to keep what you said.

Why should I?

Bill tapped the woman with the tip of his shoe.

These foolish people should be grateful that I bring them to their senses.

He was crazier than I expected. I remembered the information about Bill. The fourth son of the count family. A life that was full of an inferiority complex to his older brothers.

I glared at him.

Do you think youre better than this woman?

Isnt it obvious? Even the comparison itself is nonsense.

It was funny how Bill seemed to really believe that.

I smirked. You treat others like bugs, and you think youre wise.

He was a person who has long been stung by a sense of inadequacy and inferiority. He inflicted violence only on those who seemed weaker than himself. He truly lived under the illusion that he was different from others. And when he felt that his opponent was below him, he felt superior. He was a person who believed that he was special and that it was okay to do anything to anyone weaker than himself.

How stupid.

This was the type of person that really has no redemption quality and has no fun. He thought he was superior to others just because he survived the darkness?

I gave a cold shoulder. It turned out that there are many people in the world who lives in the same illusion as you.

Bill burst out. WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!

People with this kind of personality were bound to jump at words, After all, you are just like everyone else.

I raised the corner of my lips.

Dont be mistaken, Bill Curtis. Youre just a little lucky to survive.

Such mere luck yet he interpreted it to suit his taste.

But that doesnt excuse you from doing anything.

Bill, who was frantic, was about to raise his hand on me but hesitated. It seemed like he had barely realized that I was the heir of the Heilon family. As expected, he became weak to strong.

I went on, Youre nothing. Youre not different from the others youve been ignoring. No, youre much more stupid.

Bill heard the commotion outside and called out to the gathered soldiers. Get this woman out of here!

Ah, I dont think you can.

I raised my chin and smiled languidly.

Ive already occupied this mansion.

What.

Bill looked at the soldiers in front of him, stunned. It was only then that he realized that the soldiers faces were unfamiliar.

Right, sorry, but these guys were on my side.

Ah, this straight-on method was the best.

Oh, right. Your security system sucks. They have no loyalty to you. It was easy, thanks to you.

By the way, the woman was also on my side. Ive guessed this kind of possibility, so I could not pass it even though it was a very small chance that this trick would possible. It turned out, he was more garbage than I expected. Thanks to that, even my slightest hesitation disappeared.

I suppressed my anger, which kept bubbling up, and smiled calmly. The time has finally come to pay off the debt with interest.
