Raised the Villainous Daughter and Ran Away

17. There’s nothing I can’t do.

France looked at me with a mysterious face. It was a completely unexpected answer, with a puzzled expression.

“… Promise? What a promise.”

“I promise to achieve anything. I promise that I will always be on your side.”

France burst into laughter as if it were absurd.

“That’s why you kick the golden opportunity? You are really… It’s funny when you think about it again. No matter how enslaved you may be, you’re not hostile to the princess of the empire who destroyed the kingdom, and you’re loyal to it, right?”

I met France’s gaze.

“So, is there anything else you want from me? Anything can be achieved.”

“Yes. If I want something, if that want is outrageous, would you listen to it?”

Yes. I can listen to anything.

I know nothing in this world. Hidden secrets, information, future. There was even the body of a sword master named Jean Warenberg.

It would be easier to find something I can’t do, except for unlocking the transcendence magician’s slave imprint, which can only be solved by gaining a lot of time and freedom of movement.

“Didn’t I tell you? Nothing is impossible.”

“Huh, yes. Guess what you can do If there’s something I want, I’ll pick it out.”

Frances rested her chin on her bored face. It was an unexpected face.

“Do you want to be the emperor of an empire? Or do you want to become the head of the duchy of Descartes? If not this, do you want to become the most powerful person in the empire? Just say it. We will do anything.”

At the nonsense, she lost her words.

“… Are you serious?”

“Yes.”

“Why do you go that far?”

“Because I am in a position to take orders.”

“Is that really why?”

Actually pray for me. Slaves are also good for noble families, so if the status of the owner rises to the sky, the slaves go up together.

And above all, Frances. Some of your lives are so pitiful, but you’re a victim of the story of this stupid game. I don’t like this.

But I can’t answer as I thought.

“There is no other reason.”

“…… So.”

“So, is there anything you want?”

“Not in that option. But just in case, I’ll save it for later.”

Frances looked up at the night sky again with her bored face. I think it’s a bit late.

“How about going back to the duke’s house now?”

“… Okay. I will have to go back to Descartes.”

Whoa, she let out a deep sigh. It seems she doesn’t want to go back at all.

“You know. Will she die if she falls off this terrace now?”

“I will not die.”

“It’s a pretty high position, isn’t it? Are you trying to save me?”

“Yes.”

“Why? If I die, will you be free from slavery?”

That’s too simplistic.

“If my master dies, I will be taken as a slave again. Even if you are a sword master, it is impossible to live inside an empire surrounded by enemies on all sides. It would be foolish to stand by and watch the death of the owner while trying to regain our immediate freedom.”

Whoa, Frances let out a faint exclamation.

“I have an idea.”

Then he laughs. It’s something anyone can think of, of course. Don’t you know that I’m such an idiot?

“Yes. Continuing the conversation with you, I feel relieved.”

“Are you in a bad mood?”

“Yes. That woman named Somire insulted me properly.”

“Do you mind if I ask what you said?”

“… I’ll tell you later, later.”

It sucks. To make people curious and tell them later, the thing that makes people most angry is to stop talking.

France rose from the railing of the terrace where she was sitting.

“… I’ll have to go back soon I wish time would have stopped like this.”

“Do you have any concerns?”

“As we saw earlier, you were unilaterally broken off by the Duke of Persia, right? I get tired just thinking about what my family will say about this.”

Well, it is. What are those crazy Descartes brothers trying to scold?

‘Looks like he’s going to throw a double swear word.’

I said.

“Originally, the bigger the worry, the less important it is. Don’t be too afraid to bump into it. Aren’t I there now?”

Whoa, Frances sighed once again.

“Yes, it should be. After all, it’s something you’ll have to bump into someday.”

“If you bump into each other and can’t stand it, feel free to tell me. Either run away or destroy everything. We will do what you want.”

Fishik. She laughed.

“It is bloody to say. You look fearless. I wish I could be like you.”

You can be like me.

In this world, in that family, living under such persecution, I can’t do anything.

Suddenly, when she thought of her future, her heart throbbed. It was very sad that there was no hope at the end of a life that had endured and endured like that.

The future I know.

You killed France many times while playing the game. Other users did the same.

Hated by the world, with the destiny of being a villain, a future where only death awaits. Like mathematics with clear answers, destiny that cannot be changed.

…… Feeling like your throat is blocked by something.

I tried my best to keep my composure.

“Anyway. Now go back The party is over.”

“Yes. Let’s go.”

So we left the party. On the way to the carriage, he could feel the nobles he encountered whispering and looking at each other.

“… ….”

“… ….”

Pretending to be nothing, I tried to ignore them and arrived at the carriage.

“Go back.”

The knights who do not even say hello to Francee, nor do they answer. Apparently she doesn’t respect her.

‘You bastard bastards.’

They just followed the duke’s orders. Bastards who have no interest in France. Out of embarrassment, I unknowingly kicked her tongue out.

“What’s up?”

“No.”

I went to the side of the carriage steps and held her hand. I also boarded the wagon.

“Let’s go!”

The coachman’s words echoed and there was a slight rattle. The carriage departs.

I asked on the way back to the duke’s residence.

“Do you mind if I listen now?”

“What?”

“That’s what the saintess said.”

“… ….”

Frances looked out of her window in silence. The windows that had been pierced by arrows were quickly repaired.

“Should I listen?”

“I am so curious. Can’t we?”

“It’s not impossible… ….”

Her expression crumpled for a moment, then she opened her mouth.

“You are being denied my existence in the family, so please do not refuse my favor. You have nowhere else to go anyway.”

My eyes widened when I heard France’s words.

“… Yes?”

“I just said what I heard.”

I was so dumbfounded that I couldn’t speak. Somire said that? It was a crazy year.

The scene that appears right after the game starts is the scene where Frances approaches Somire and slaps her on the face. Until then, I just assumed that Frances was a crazy b*tch.

However, the reality was the opposite. Somire was such a crazy b*tch…….

I asked again.

“… Is that true?”

“Why, do you think I would lie?”

“It’s not like that, but I wonder if there really is a person who can really say that openly.”

“For a moment, I thought I had heard it wrong. Maybe that’s why, without even realizing it, her hand moved first.”

Yes. Good job. I said that, but if you don’t give me a cool slap on the cheek, it’s a truckload of sweet potatoes.

“But how did the saintess know the master’s secret?”

“That is my question as well. No matter how much she is called a saint, she is a commoner. You probably don’t have enough strength to investigate the background of the Duke of Descartes.”

“Isn’t this the crown prince’s doing?”

“If he knew, it would have come out exactly the same as we were talking at the party. At least His Highness, the Crown Prince, didn’t notice.”

Is Somiredo a player by any chance? No, you can’t be so conclusive. Because France’s story doesn’t appear at all in the game.

‘How did you know?’

There is still too little information to speculate. Let’s revisit this over time. It’s not too late to do it then.

‘By the way, did the player raise Somire as the main character?’

Is it the result of knowing France’s past and facing the truth? In an instant, nausea soared. Couldn’t Somire be the true villain of this game? To think that she was approaching France who was still and talking about something like that.

The level of the dog chew. I want to go to the production company right away and smash everything.

“… ….”

I made up my mind once again.

Let’s make France a stronger person who has more influence than anyone else.

I will never let anyone touch her again.

For me, for France.

* * *

The coachman’s words rang out.

“We have arrived!”

I arrived at the duke’s residence. I opened the carriage door, got out first, and held France’s hand.

The butler approached and said.

“The Duke is waiting for you.”

France stares at the butler with her eyes shallowly open. She entered the duke’s mansion without a word. She looked around. None of the attendants greet Francee.

“… ….”

This is a bit unpleasant. She used to know that she was treated this way by everyone in the ducal family, but when she faced this sight of being ignored even by the servants and knights, it became difficult to manage her expression.

As if seeing through my thoughts, Frances said calmly.

“Don’t mind it, it’s something you’re used to.”

What she always says whenever she gets ignored.

How could I not care?

No one follows her in this duchy. She doesn’t respect I don’t admit it.

It’s not because Frances had an accident in the house, and it’s not because she’s a crazy b*tch who harasses the attendants.

The bullying of Eden and Line only continued to the servants. Is it because of that? Unbeknownst to me, my eyes closed tight.

Said Frances.

“I will see the Duke. Keep your mind straight.”

“Am I going in too?”

“Then you should go in or not?”

I nodded. At the same time, Frances knocked on the door of the office.

“Duke. This is France Descartes.”

-Come in.

Knocked up. The door is open. On the left and right sofas, Line and Eden were sitting and waiting. All of them fierce eyes. Did you gather to criticize France?

Ttogak. Again. Frances enters the office. I walked her after her.

The line said.

“Bring a son of a slave into the office? What are you thinking?”

“… ….”

“Don’t you answer me? This… !”

“Stop.”

Duke stopped the line.

“Yes, Frances. Shortly after you went to the party, a letter of dissolution came from the Persian duchy. You will have to explain this properly.”

France’s eyebrows twitched. Don’t you know what to answer? I put my head in and whispered quietly.

“There are rumors spread by us. Use it.”

France’s eyes widened at my words. Fortunately, the members of this damn Descartes family didn’t notice that I had whispered something. Even if these people are sword masters like me, their senses need to reach a much higher level. Jin’s body is special.

France hesitated. Maybe it’s because I’m afraid that this will really work. She must be thinking in her head right now just to get on her knees and bang her head on her floor.

And after a while. After her long hesitation, she barely opened her mouth.

“That is… ….”

“Is that it?”

“Duke So of Persia has a secret that he cannot tell others… ….”

Duke Descartes frowned at him.

“… A secret you can’t tell?”

Francese nodded her head and her line cut in, clicking her tongue.

“What is a secret? They must have just found out that you burned 500 million to a slave. Am I wrong?”

Duke Descartes glared at such a line. Then he turned his head and the line became quiet.

“When you say secret, what do you mean?”

Knock. France’s neck was heavy.

“The Duke of Persia is gay.”
