Raised the Villainous Daughter and Ran Away

6. Something strange about her life.

I walked along with Frances. The time is still midnight. She seemed relaxed, as if she had no worries.

“Aren’t you curious what I will ask you for?”

Suddenly, Frances asked me. What she wants from me, knowing the original, I don’t know.

Come to think of it, the relationship between Jin and France is full of questions and contradictions. The relationship between the master and the slave, but why did Jean become angry after Frances died? Rather, she became free, so shouldn’t she like it… ?

Jin is the prince of the ruined Warenberg. If she’s an ordinary prince, isn’t she aiming at this time to rebuild the kingdom…….

“Questioning your master is not something you should do as a slave.”

Ah, I have become a slave to the core……. However, since I don’t know the future properly, I have no choice but to adapt.

“Are you trying to teach me?”

“That is not true.”

“Yes, I like that attitude.”

France continued to ask me questions as she headed towards the Duke’s residence.

“Are you dreaming of rebuilding the Kingdom of Warenberg?”

“What would be the point of regaining a kingdom without people?”

“You speak well.”

“Thank you.”

“It’s not really a compliment….”

Frances continued her question with another question.

“What can you do for me?”

What can you do? What were Jin’s strengths? I checked all properties. I said, recalling as much as I could.

“Anything is possible when it comes to combat. They are also good at protecting. Good use of the sword. I use other weapons well, too.”

Whoops, Frances finally couldn’t hold back her laughter and burst into laughter.

“You are full of confidence.”

“If a man lacks confidence, he is no different from a corpse.”

“Yes, I like it.”

It seems that Frances liked you from the beginning. He’s off to a good start. As it is, she will use her favor to escape from her slavery. And I will get my free life back.

Think about how to get back.

It was then.

“France Descartes. What are you doing here?”

Flinch. Frances cowered momentarily, stepping back from her.

“Oh, brother.”

That face is familiar. It was Eden Descartes, the next duke of the Descartes family.

He didn’t have much of a role in the original work. Even when Frances Descartes became a villain, she did not appear, and even when she died, she did not appear.

‘Is there something I don’t know about?’

I don’t know.

Eden Descartes said.

“There was a big commotion at the duke’s house to find you who disappeared! Where the hell have you been?”

“I went to the auction house.”

“Auction house?”

Eden Descartes narrowed his eyebrows and glanced. Looked at me

“Did you buy slaves?”

“That’s right… ….”

“You must be crazy. I will forgive you for extravagant purchases of jewels and dresses, but buying slaves is not permitted.”

Explained by Frances Descartes.

“I will tell my father the details! So… ….”

“I don’t even have to listen anymore. Let’s go back to the duke’s mansion for now.”

What is it? For some reason, it seems that France Descartes is in trouble because of me.

‘It’s not my fault.’

Thank you for saving that fat lady from her aunt, but the reason she got into trouble is just her responsibility based on her choice.

It’s not that I don’t understand why Eden Descartes is out there. A duke’s daughter purchasing a male slave. No matter how she uses her male slaves, she is right to discredit the Duke of Descartes.

We walked along Eden Descartes. Deep silence. Even I notice the heavy atmosphere.

I looked straight ahead. There was power in Eden Descartes’ steps. And Frances Descartes, who had only looked haughty and noble until recently, is completely withdrawn.

‘There seems to be something in the duke’s residence that I don’t know about.’

Well, you’ll find out soon anyway.

Because I’m going to be an escort knight for France Descartes.

* * *

I arrived at the duke’s residence. Chunk! The large arched gate opened. On the left and right, a long wave of knights was maintaining a procession.

“Are you here?”

The person who spoke was a gray-haired middle-aged man. Stylish suit. He seemed to be the butler. But it’s kind of cool Is that middle-aged?

“I need to see the duke right away.”

“The Duke is still on duty.”

“Go ahead and tell me in advance.”

“Myeong, I will serve you.”

The butler bowed slightly and entered the mansion with quick steps.

“You guys should step back too. I worked hard until late.”

―Chung!

At the words of Eden Descartes, the knights moved as sharp as knives.

‘Oh, that’s kind of cool.’

Will I be one of them? Well, I guess that’s not going to happen. It is also a slave status, and since it is a slave that Frances bought without permission, he will be attached to her directly.

“France Descartes. Follow me.”

“Yes… ….”

France’s feeble voice. She should have been allowed to do so and bought her slave.

‘Solve it well on your own.’

There won’t be any major problems. I asked Frances.

“Master, can I be good?”

“Wait outside for a moment. The business will be over soon.”

“No.”

Eden Descartes cut off the conversation.

“Follow you too. This is a problem because of you.”

Yes?

“France Descartes. You will have to stand in front of the Duke and explain properly.”

“Yes… ….”

What is it? Why did this happen…….

So we entered the duke’s mansion and stood in front of the duke’s office.

Smart. Eden Descartes knocked on the door of the office.

“Duke. Eden Descartes. May I come in? This is an urgent matter.”

-Come in.

The door is open. Stepped inside. The inside of the office was infinitely quiet. Square square. The fountain pen moved and made white noise.

“What is it?”

The fountain pen stopped. The Duke looked up at his head and our eyes met. Seeing my face, he frowned.

“Who is that man?”

“A slave bought by Frances Descartes.”

“Slaves… ?”

The brow of the already frowned duke wrinkled even more.

“A duke’s daughter bought a slave? A male slave too?”

A thrill. Duke Descartes narrowed his eyebrows and glared at Frances.

“You will have to properly explain what happened. If I don’t give an acceptable answer, I won’t be able to avoid punishment.”

France’s fists clenched. I could hear my heart pounding as if I was very nervous.

“That is… ….”

“Tell me.”

France was speechless. Silence ensues for a while. She suddenly fell to her knees.

“I’m sorry, father. Please forgive me.”

“I asked what happened, I didn’t ask for forgiveness.”

“I needed an article of my own… ….”

The Duke’s eyebrows twisted subtly.

“A knight? It is a knight that is scattered around the duchy. But why did you buy that slave?”

Frances opened her mouth softly.

“… The knights of the Duke of Descartes have no respect for me. I needed a knight just for me and only following my orders.”

The duke’s knights don’t respect Frances? What happened in her past?

“Where is the proof that the duke’s knights don’t respect you? Isn’t that just your heartache?”

At the Duke’s words, Frances bit her lower lip. Then she muttered quietly.

“As expected, my father wasn’t interested in me.”

Frances couldn’t even get down on her knees and banged her head on the floor.

“Forgive me. I bought slaves for the reasons I mentioned earlier. That’s all…….”

The duke stiffly raised her head. She tapped her desk with her index finger.

“Stop banging your head, how much did it cost to buy that slave?”

Um. I think this is a really big deal.

“… 500 Million.”

“What… !?”

The Duke’s eyes widened.

“What is that… !”

I knew it would be like that.

“The only thing my father allowed me to do was money. I just used it…….”

The Duke rubbed his forehead and was unable to follow her words. Well, it was too much money to spend 500 million on a slave. That fat aristocratic lady also called for 100 million won.

“… I can’t help but ask for this. Frances Descartes. I will be sentenced to probation for one week.”

Francesse hit her head on the floor again.

“Thank you for your generosity.”

“Stop banging your face on the floor from now on. Aren’t you an example as an aristocrat?”

Frances rose from her seat, raising her knees. Eden Descartes as she stares at me alternately with her. What you looking at?

“Go back now.”

“Yes.”

The Duke has made a decision. Eden Descartes didn’t seem to like the results, but he wasn’t particularly dissatisfied.

“… Let’s go back.”

So we left the duke’s office, and I headed for her room. But is it okay for a slave to come in like this?

“Jean Warenberg.”

“Yes.”

“I want one thing from you.”

“What is it?”

Her eyes met with Frances.

“Only be on my side. No matter what comes, I will stop anything that poses a threat to me. That is my only order to you.”

A surprisingly simple command. Burn 500 million just to do that? What a crazy woman. Well, that’s why he appeared as a villain in the original story.

I asked her.

“… Is it just going to be like that?”

“What?”

Frances opened her eyes shallowly.

“It is said that I have disappeared now, but I was a prince of a country. He was the bane of the empire because of his strong arms, and he was the best swordsman in the kingdom. I thought there would be a special mission for me like that. Because he spent a huge sum of 500 million won.”

She was speechless. She just stared at me quietly.

“Sorry if I went off topic.”

At my belated words, she laughed.

“Yes. You are not wrong. Burning 500 million just to be on my side is crazy. That’s why her father got down on her knees and put her head on her floor.”

Frances said, “But,” Followed her words.

“I think it was worth more than 500 million to me. Because right now, what I need more than anything else is on my side.”

Why? Her eyes looked a little sad. Her face looks like she’s about to cry.

In fact, perhaps Frances was out of her family’s eyes. I don’t know why, I know the original. Because France’s story wasn’t the main story.

Uh, but maybe…….

‘Isn’t this a hidden route?’

Did I have to force shut down the computer somehow? I never agreed to go down the hidden route.

But I didn’t even select it, but it’s running…….

‘Did someone forcefully bring me into this world?’

I’m not sure, but maybe there’s a secret hidden here too.

Whatever it is, I’ll catch that bastard. Then then

Knock! Suddenly the door opened violently.

“You must have done something crazy again!”

A man with red hair and sharp eyes unique to the Descartes family entered.

But who is he?

Looking at Frances, her face was contemplative.
