Act Gracefully As A Villainous Lady

Dropping off Augustus, who left the office with momentum like a night escape, Melia Rose exhales, Phew.

"I'm ready to make him follow me until he leaves the country. In the unlikely event that you behave strangely, try to end it on the spot."

"…… yes"

Mary Rose glanced lightly at Bertram, who explained so.

"It's always ready."

"... don't be so angry. He thinks it's a bad idea to keep your mouth shut."

"Then you can tell me sooner! I can't believe you were trying to move on without me!

Bertram and Willem had realized earlier than Mary Rose that Sir Augustus was behind a series of events.

That's what Willem told me on the way here, and Melia Rose is quite a surprise.

Besides, if Melia Rose hadn't realized that truth herself, wouldn't she have tried to finish him off without letting Melia Rose know?

"And you tried to assassinate Edith and rub that sin on me. What!? I was surprised to hear that earlier!!

"Oh, you didn't realize that much"

"I never thought of that!

"I was hunting him down with a real act for it... It's like a villain's warrant."

"I just did it with Nori somehow!" Since when, have you noticed? "I never noticed! Too bad!!

Sir Augustus seemed to think that Mary Rose had come here to impose sanctions after knowing everything, but in fact, she didn't.

Merriah Rose only had the vague suspicion that "Somehow Sir Augustus is suspicious".

- Besides, that's why I wouldn't have noticed if it weren't for the Minister's words...

Regrettably, we did not reach the truth entirely on our own.

Speaking to Willem about the suspicion that Augustus was just behind the Ediths, Willem told Bertram the story.

So when Bertram intensively washed the perimeter of Augustus, a samurai ordered to replace Edith's perfume cried to Bertram, apparently able to pinpoint his plan.

Bertram seemed to want to secretly finish Augustus to Meliá Rose, but Willem decided that Meliá Rose should also be present on this occasion.

Otherwise, Melia Rose may have stayed beaten by Augustus and had long-overdue thoughts.

"... it's sloppy. I can't believe you brought your own delicious place without letting me know."

"This time, it was really dangerous. If you make a mistake, it's possible that he killed me and Willem. I don't know anything about it. I can't bring you here."

"That kind of thing, you seem to have been moving back a long time.... long ago."

staring at Djotori and Bertram, he grinned bitterly

"He said it for His Royal Highness Ulysses' reign or something... that's hilarious. Who do you think I'm working for?"

"I knew... it's like Ulysses behind you"

"The prince asked me directly. He'll definitely show up with Lynette and the one who's trying to fall for you, so he wants you to protect him from the shadows.... and you said whatever you wanted about being a flunky, silly, non-working in-court Nettie."

"Ugh..."

Apparently it made proper sense for Bertram to have been fluttering all over the place since daylight.

He was speaking to a woman in the royal palace, perhaps to gather information.

I didn't even think I was doing that, Mary Rose, which is what I told him novels every time I saw him.

Now that I know the truth, I may have been a little sorry.

"... sooner, you could have told me"

When that happens, Willem caresses and touches Merriam-Rose's shoulder.

"Neither me nor Bertram wanted to put you in danger if they could. But even then, because of that rumor, you were so upset."

"I know that. But... I wanted to know"

Telling him that straight away, Willem and Bertram stared at Merriah Rose as surprised.

"I... may indeed be weak. It could be your legs. But I also decided to be strong enough to support Master Ulysses and Lynette. So the next time something like this happens, I want you to tell me, too."

Merriah Rose stepped into this royal palace to support Ulysses and Lynette.

Any court raccoon like Sir Augustus or Minister Milford must be able to cross.

Bertram laughed when she heard Meliá Rose's determination.

"... the queen is full of me."

"Hey! I'm seriously talking!?

"I know.... Hear that, Willem? Meliá Rose is harder than you think."

When Merriam Rose turned her gaze toward Willem, he had a look somewhere to get lost.

"Mr. Meliárose, I... if I can, I want to keep you out of danger. Just like your father."

"…… yes"

Melia Rose didn't mean to blame him for his thoughts.

But there are things that Merriam Rose can't give away, either.

"Still, I can't run away. Because I've decided to take this path."

"But if you run into danger..."

"Oh, you'll protect me then, won't you?

Even when I played Villain Warrant Lady, and when I stopped playing Villain Warrant Lady, I still... Willem was always there to protect Meliá Rose.

So, I'm sure if he were here... I'd feel like I could face any difficulty.

Willem laughs as he perceived when he hears Merriah Rose say.

"... you're no match for me"

"Huh, I'm gonna have you hanging out everywhere."

-... okay. I won't lose.

Because beside Meliá Rose, there are two shields that you can count on so much.
