Rehabilitating the Villainess

Chapter 92: Gone Astray (1)

[Clie’s POV]

The medical room at the Imperial Palace. 

A woman was lying on a bed so luxurious that one could admire it just by looking at it.

The woman was Clie.

Beside her, who was grunting, two ladies from the duke’s family were sitting and having a conversation.

One of the ladies was the daughter of the Duke of Prell and the other was the daughter of the Duke of Anyden.

“Clie, how are you feeling? I heard that you kept losing consciousness after you had a fever.”

“I think the heat is still the same. I think you should get some more sleep.”

“Yes, I will get some rest.”

Contrary to her words, Clie didn’t close her eyes. 

Rather, her eyes shined with a slight curiosity as she inquired, “I heard you went to the gathering. Did something happen?”

At Clie’s words, Severa Anyden opened her mouth.

“Hah…I heard that Shael Azbel quarreled with my brother. She even spilled wine on people.”

“Wine?”

Clie quickly turned her head. She had been unconscious for about two days due to a high fever, and her head was beset with constant headache.

The relationship between the Duke of Anyden and the Duke of Azbel was aind to fire and water. So she felt it was important to know the details from Severa Anyden.

“Then, there seemed to be friction between Young Lord Eran and Shael Azbel. The two of them didn’t seem to get along.”

It was part of the rumors that was in circulation. This time, the daughter of the Duke of Prell, who was next to Severa Anyden, opened her mouth.

“That bad-tempered woman doesn’t posses even a shred of elegance.”

“This is interesting. By the way, I have something to ask you about the Imperial Festival.”

Clie quickly changed the subject. 

‘If the rumors didn’t work out, I needed to come up with a plan first before I lose consciousness again.’

“I heard that the family of the Duke of Anyden will manage the rewards of the Imperial Festival. Can I see that first?”

“Reward from the Imperial Festival? The Emperor will give it to us on the same day, so I don’t even know what the reward is.”

“Ah, it’s because I am curious.”

After that, Clie looked at the ring Severa Anyden was wearing and said.

“Apart from the Lucius Ring, I received other rings from the Crown Prince…”

“It is possible to show it. Yes.”

Clie smiled. 

Things went according to plan.

A plan to steal the Love Potion. 

Of course, if she just asked the Mage Tower Lord and the Crown Prince, she could get her hands on it right away. But there was no way she could tell them about the Love Potion. So, she had to make use of noble ladies who were friendly and easy to deal with.

The daughter of the Duke of Anyden was not the only safety device. The daughter of the Duke of Prell next to her would also participate in the festival with the same goal.

Since she had previously won the festival with her show of affection, there was no way Eran Baslett would be able to win.

Clie smiled as she enjoyed the sunlight streaming into the medical room.

[Eran’s POV]

I took Shael to the exit of the banquet hall. It was natural that many eyes would be focused on us. However, we didn’t have to react to their gazes.

The only thing I did was to give Shael a warm look so that they wouldn't create more ridiculous rumors.

Now, the things to be done in the banquet hall was roughly over. So from now on, I had to prepare for the Imperial Festival that was to be held three days later.

“I have to meet with Duke Jespen.”

First of all, it was necessary to entrust Shael to Duke Jespen.

I couldn’t buy some necessary things in front of Shael, and I couldn’t leave her just anywhere. Coming out of the banquet hall, I saw Duke Jespen nodding his head as if he was bored.

“Duke, where did Lady Rayel go?”

“I don’t know. My sister is always like that, so it doesn’t matter.”

It was rather fortunate. It was because I kept thinking about that potion, which she had given me of her own accord. 

A potion that seemed expensive at first glance.

In fact, I lost the potion she gave to help Shael and me, so my conscience pricked whenever I saw Rayel Tarden.

Duke Jespen looked at me, who had gone silent for a moment, and opened his mouth.

“Eran, is there something wrong?”

“Nothing. I have a place to go to for a while, so could you protect Shael?”

Duke Jespen nodded his head eagerly. It was probably his first time spending proper time with his daughter.

So it was bound to be an enticing proposition for him. Now, I just had to convince Shael.

Of course, Shael wouldn’t just believe it if I said that I wanted to go somewhere alone.

“Quickly come home.”

But contrary to my expectations, Shael coolly nodded her head. It was strange that she didn’t even ask any questions.

‘Anyway, it’s to my advantage. I won’t be able to go there with Shael.’

I must never go there with Shael.

The black market that the Crown Prince secretly created to make money.

Conveniently, it was a place not too far from the Imperial Palace.
