Chapter 40's

And, according to her words, Olivia came to my room that night.

"You don't have your family's support, and even you're sick."

After sitting on a chair in my room, she raised her chin and spoke proudly. Her smooth legs were sensually twisted, visible through her open skirt.

'A very pretty aunt .. Can I wear heels at that age too? How does he take care of his health? He looks amazing…'

Seeing him, I thought sadly.

“This creates an opportunity for others to come and try to bite you.”

Just then, Lisa and I, who were standing in front of her, froze after hearing her words.

“Make your makeup a little darker. Lift your eyes higher. ”

“M-Miss L-Laria.. I-makeup it does not look good...”.

Lisa stuttered nervously while taking her eyes off Olivia's gaze.

“Who do you think will apply makeup to look good? He is married!” He instantly cut out Lisa's stammering words.

"Do you want her to look like Matilda?"

'What do you mean, Matilda...?'

…Eventually, I became a mini Olivia, imitating her looks.

“Ck..”.

He grinned, even though it seemed like he didn't really like the look.

"You can't do anything right because you look like a pathetic little thing."

'Well, I'm actually ... The heroine's late ex-wife husband was a pitiful side character among all the side characters.'

"What are you doing now?"

Olivia screamed in anger.

“Follow me soon!”

"…Yes?"

“What do you mean sad thing? Are you done talking? How pretty does she think she is?' Comeing! Say"

Both were embarrassed, Lisa and I looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

“Think of all the evil things they did to Matilda! I still can't sleep well because of them!”

After her words, Olivia threw away her embroidery fan because she could not calm her anger.

“Everyone's eyes were wide-eyed when they heard the rumor that he was sick. She wants to be Duchess of Icard! Even contains Evan with that body..”.

His red eyes seemed to be shedding tears.

"As the doctor warned, there are many evil women who wish she died in childbirth ..."

I know I was wrong. He didn't come running to the Duchy because he didn't like me. It was because he heard Evan's wife was ill, so he came because Olivia recalled the situation with Matilda.

“When I think of how he laughs at them without being able to curse them just once, my stomach churns even now!”

I glanced at Olivia calmly.

"Bad son."

He could not forget the hatred he felt inside, he could only murmur angrily.

“Sitting with her nice and gentle face, she just gave him affection and ended up getting stabbed from behind.”

'So so…'

He was also one of the Icard people who lived under the shadow of Matilda. For some reason, my mind became a little jumbled.

“All because of that naive child, the Duchy of Icard was destroyed!”

I guess that's why he said that he had been hit in the back of his head before and that nothing good had happened to Duke Icard …

"I never thought she would leave the world before this old woman ..."

"Auntie…"

“It was because she was weak, so she died early,” Olivia concluded her point with her magnificent red eyes.

“If you chew on all the evil things like me, you live a useless long life. Of course, it is not true, it is useless.”

In the end, Lisa silently turned her head and wiped her tears. He must have thought of Matilda as well. At that moment, I thought how lucky Evan was to still be in the academy's sword contest.

“So, don't be like Matilda and long life. You have to be grumpy like me, chew on their words, and live long. ”

Logic's fucked.

"Well…"

I know she was looking at Matilda while looking at me.

“Now, copy me. Come on!"

Lisa finally pulled out her handkerchief and blew her nose. Instead of following her reckless words, I approached Olivia calmly and held her hand.

"Auntie." I smiled at him a little.

“Mother never regrets not condemning the evil things that treated her carelessly.”

"What?"

"I'm sure aunt has said everything in her name."

"…That's right."

"If you had someone like your aunt next to you, would you remember those evil words?"

“Mm..”

A wrinkle was seen between his eyebrows after hearing me.

“Even say beautiful words, like Matilda..”.

"So, auntie needs to live longer and take my side."

“Are you saying you’re going to use me?”

'Ah.. I got caught.'

"So, that's why Kallaudin fell in love with you completely."

'As expected of someone with common sense ...'

"But auntie's so cool."

Nevertheless, I sincerely mean what I just said because I have long admired this rich evil woman. Even if my compliments to Father and son are not so sincere, there is no reason not to sincerely appreciate Auntie.

"There's nothing to be afraid of if someone like my aunt is on my side."

"Sweet words for ears are bad for the body, son."

[T/N: I think it's pretty obvious, but meaningless flattering is not good for the person who hears it. ]

'Oh, he caught me flattering him and lying openly?!'

Seeing me freeze, Olivia continued to speak softly.

“But at my age, I am tired of just looking for good things for my body. So, try a little harder.”

Over the course of a few days, Olivia tried various styles on me, though all failed miserably.Lisa even sighed and muttered softly, 'Miss Laria doesn't look good in this.'

“There is nothing I can do for it.”

Olivia said with determination.

"Be someone who just laughs up front, and plays tricks behind them."

…It's me!

“In every aspect, you act like Matilda. You won't be able to raise yourself this way.”

Agreeing with her words, Lisa also slightly nodded.

"You two are so similar."

“So, that means I’ll need to give you some lessons. All right, listen up. Let’s start with language interpretation first.”

“Translations?”

He looked at me and spoke sharply.

“Say you've been told, 'I think Lady married very well. I still apologize to Duke for his dowry.'”

Her red eyes flashed, and I swallowed a dry saliva. No, I don't want to feel the pressure around him...

“If you hear this means, 'I heard your family is broke, so you got married without dowry?' Do you understand?"

"Good mistress."

“Well, interpret this. 'You must be having a hard time socializing in the Capital because you can't leave the mansion that much because of your health. The news may be slow enough for you, right?'”

I then immediately replied with my hands together.

“It means 'I know you don't know anything about the world, so don't ever think of doing something useless and just lie down.'”

“You are very smart.”

Olivia asked a similar question afterwards, and I answered exactly every time.

“You're talented.” Finally, he smiled proudly and nodded.

“I should have given Matilda a custom class like this.”

I feel very sorry for Matilda. Since he was a very good and kind person, there was no way he would learn these negative phrases as quickly as I did.

"You won't be in the Capital at all, will you?"

"He will only leave if there is an important event," Lisa replied politely.

“Once he felt much better, of course, he had to do outdoor activities. Of course, he has grown a lot.”

Olivia nodded.

“Then, every time, I have to go to the Capital and teach you myself. Now, let's have dinner.”

So, I stayed by his side until our last dinner together. After dinner, I glanced over and offered my shortcake dish to her.

"Do you like mine, auntie?"

With the obvious level at which the dessert plate became empty, anyone could tell just how much Olivia liked the shortcake. Perhaps because Duke and Evan liked sweets, his taste was also growing. That's why candy broke the first barrier between us.

"At this age, are you trying to say I'm crazy about candy?"

Moreover, it seemed, for some reason, they were all unwilling to acknowledge their sweet tooth.

"No. I apologize for my manners.It's just because I don't really like sweet foods.”.

“No need for manners. However, we should not waste food, so I will eat it.” He then arrogantly pulled my dessert plate to his side.

"You."

He spoke while pointing his big fork at me.

“I like you enough. But you know what?”

"Yes…?"

“It is difficult for me to trust you due to the fact that you enjoy Kallaudin's disgusting jokes. It's very uncomfortable.”

Those who siphon their bosses excessively will perish because of it ...

As expected, I am not the only one who knows that the response to his humor is a very good indication to know whether I am sincere or not. Laughing at his jokes is definitely a winning part for people like me.

Olivia then spoke in a low tone, as if she was getting ready to show her fins.

"You said you think about Evan a lot."

Looks like he remembered me mentioning Evan when we found Mr's books. Rollades.

"I know it was a political marriage you didn't expect, but was Evan a good husband?"

I nodded immediately.

"of course. I sincerely want to get along with him very well. ”

"You want to hang out ... Alright."

He nodded slowly after hearing my sudden reply. After thinking for a moment, Olivia opened her mouth again.

“It's still hard to really like a thirteen-year-old.”

“Yah, the..”.

“Typically, young noble women your age will love a man who looks more mature. So am I."

I would say it wasn't like that out of courtesy, but the next question surprised me.

“However, some corners of Evan do look good. Which aspect of him do you like the most? ”

'Like it the most...?'

I was lost in thought. Evan has many traits. He graduated with the highest honor from the academy, the winner of the sword competition, and he was rather ancient. He had a good appearance and was the heir to the Duchy of Icard.

However, a very unexpected comment came out of my mouth.

"…Imut-blanket."

It was something that others would not be able to relate to at all.

For others, the word cute is the opposite of Evan. His expression hardened almost every day, and he did not laugh much. Objectively, she looked like Duke Icard, but for a child of that age, she might look a bit creepy.

Realizing what I said, I felt a bit sorry. Having such a deep affection for the family of Icard, Olivia would not have liked such a light answer about the sole heir of the great Duchy, would she?

"Thank you?"

As expected, Olivia's tone was slightly surprised by my answer. He did not say a word until he emptied the dessert plate.

'As expected, I told the truth for no reason. I should have praised Duke Icard only.'

However, just as I was about to correct my words, an unexpected comment fell.

“You'll love Evan.”

"…sorry?"

“Objectively, when someone who is not cute at all, looks cute to you, then it is over for you.”

He grinned as if he was enjoying this and continued.

“I can rest my mind calmly. No matter what happens, I think you will eventually choose Evan no matter what.

“.…”

I was silent at his unexpected words.

'No I won't. At the end of the day, I'm just going to make a choice for myself.'

Evan is not sick, has a lot of money, and is well established. If I were to finally make a choice for Evan at a critical moment, it would really be like a mouse thinking for a cat.

“This is just an old woman's insight. The only thing I have improved with age is my senses. People say that even hypocrisy often becomes sincere when repeated.”

It was a prophecy that was completely beyond the reach of my true feelings. Although, strangely enough, it felt like digging inside me.
