As the Villainess’ Final Crony, I’ll Follow Her to the End!

Yesterday, I was in the best physical condition for the past few days, so I was unusually happy to be able to sit at my desk all day to do some paperwork: ...... Today, the next day, I'm going to be working in bed again as usual, and I want to curse myself for being so fragile.

The other day, the Hereford family's reluctant head of the house and the foolish son who betrayed Sophia were present, and I was also present at a meeting between the two heads of the family, and although the other head of the house resisted unseemly, the other side somehow managed to admit that they had broken off the engagement.

I was informed that a letter from the Hereford family, a family of high rank, sent a letter to the Liturgical Office requesting the annulment of the engagement, and a document with the royal seal of approval was issued today.

There was no more link between Sophia and the Hereford family. The Redmayne and Hereford families are not as close as they could be, but since it was already something of a tradition, it would be better to cut ties with them once and for all.

All that is left is for Sophia and Hereford's idiot son to attend each other's graduation ball with a new partner. You will be able to find out that the engagement between the two families has been dissolved, and you will be able to think about which one you want to follow in the future.

However, it is easy to imagine that there would be more families that would join the Hereford family, which is of high rank. The Redmayne family will be in a difficult position, but that can't be helped.

I'm not going to put any more weight on my sister's shoulders, as she has been making me feel insecure because of my condition for so long. I'm sure you'll be able to get your own life away from your unreliable brother. The rest of the happiness will be given by Barkhorn and my sister will be the one to compensate for it.

After thinking that far, unexpectedly.

I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to get to the point where I feel as if I have a gaping hole in my heart.

I'm fed up with my inability to look for Chloe beside me, almost unconsciously, when I'm weak like that. How dependent are you on someone five years younger than you?

She gave me so much relief and I had so little to give her. The same goes for that day when I asked her to marry me. I should have noticed her discomfort before imposing my favor on her.

...... How self-centered am I?

The swearing that came out of my mouth unintentionally, but now that I'm aware of it, it's just irritating. It's more of a vicious circle, as I can't think straight about the task at hand. Just as I was pondering whether I should give up today's work and move on to tomorrow to get back on track, there is a knock at the door of my room.

Without thinking about who it was, I said, "Come in," and the door was slowly opened to reveal a familiar carrot-colored braid. I laughed to myself that I couldn't help but feel a little better about my physical discomfort with that alone.

Then I said to the person whose braids were still only visible, "Chloe, right. I was just hoping to see you. Come in," I called out to her, and I gasped when she walked in the room.

'It's been a long time. You will be able to find out the best way to make your life easier. How are you feeling?

I'm sure that's what you're looking for right now - ...... standing at the entrance of the room is Chloe, not a familiar figure from memory. But the physical characteristics and the atmosphere they wear are all there, so don't get defensive.

I've been thinking about the fact that Sofia has a couple of maids who specialize in beauty treatments lately. ...... I'm sure she was definitely working in the dark for this.

The closest sentiment would be to describe it as embarrassing, but at any rate, the first thing that came out of my mouth was a terribly rude remark: "Chloe--...... your eyes are open?

It's not just a matter of time before you'll be able to get your hands on a new pair of shoes.　It's not even a newborn baby, so it's only natural that your eyes should be open," she replied in frustration.

Although I responded with a quick "Oh", I felt bad for her, but I think the reactions of the people around her were understandable. Even I, who had been with her for ten years, would be surprised, even if it was only for a moment. I'm not sure if she's trying to hear my excuses for not being able to hide her upset, but her golden-brown eyes look at me with interest.

I think it's because I've lost weight. Her low nose is now slightly elevated, and although her face is still plump, I can now see the shape of her skeleton, which I couldn't before. Her lips, which always seemed to be narrowed, have been transformed into a thick but shiny and healthy one.

Her droopy eyes were not a clear double layer, but rather a slightly deeper double layer, which gave her an impression of softness. Her hair also keeps its carrot-colored shine more intensely, and the reduced volume is not noticeable.

There was a friendly charm and warmth in the bright eyes that peered out at you, which suited the person called Chloe very well. Come to think of it, I mentioned that I felt this way when I first met her a long time ago.

When I remembered that time, I was again impressed by the strength of her mind, which never changed.

I'm sorry.

I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make the most of your time with us. I'm not sure if it's the right thing to do, but I'm sure it's the right thing to do. It's not just a matter of how much you want to spend, it's a matter of how much you want to spend.

I meant to say "round, droopy eyes are cute," but Chloe didn't seem to take it that way.

I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make the most out of your time in the world," he said. And let out a sigh. But how can he be depressed when he never looks like a pessimistic element?

While wondering that, I somehow fixed my gaze swimming to find the words that would convince Chloe. Although she has lost a little more weight than before, I think she's just as cute as I thought she would be when I saw her after she calmed down from the first time I saw her. The round, droopy eyes also have a badger-like charm, as he says, but there's not a little bit of Chloe mourning in them.

So, this time I tried to find the right words to compliment him again, but the words seemed to be stuck in my throat, and I couldn't get them out.

Instead, he said, "You've lost a lot of weight, what's going on?　It's not that you've lost weight, or that you're tired because of poor health ......, but if your body is still in pain, you shouldn't push yourself too hard," he said in a terribly boring statement. It's a good thing that you're not a little relieved that Sophia and Barkhorn are not here right now.

It's not a good idea to be the first one to praise this figure, because you don't want them to realize your shallow thoughts, such as wanting to be the first to praise this figure.

I'm sorry for the concern. I'm sorry for causing you to worry. From today onwards, I'll be at your side as usual.

The expression on her face as she lifts her plump cheeks and smiles makes my heart flutter. But unlike me, who is out of my usual element, Chloe is exactly the same as usual. It's as if what happened between us just before I passed out last time never happened.

It's a good thing that you're not going to have to worry about that. But ...... then, would you like to hear my response to the other day? I continued to say, "I don't know what to do.

As expected, this kind of premonition often comes true, and I'm not sure if I'm right or not.　What are you talking about? I had a bad feeling when I saw the way she looked at me with a heartfelt wonderment, and zipped her face closer to mine without showing any embarrassment.

But what if this is the reason she wanted to refuse, but wanted to pretend that the courtship didn't happen so that she wouldn't hurt herself as Sophia's brother?

In the worst case scenario, if we say something strongly enough, he might agree to it under the guise of remembering. If you are absolutely loyal to your sister, it's not impossible to say it's impossible. But it's just a bad move.

There is no point in doing that to get her. It's not like I want to see Chloe's smile disappear by forcing her to get engaged by pretending to be a family name.

I wanted to breathe a sigh of relief that I had to start over from the beginning after all, but then Chloe reached out to measure my fever with her palm and said, "Come to think of it, I had a very good dream that day, just for a second before I collapsed. I'm sure it was all thanks to Master Austin.

If it wasn't our hubris, for the first time in our ten years together, I smiled slightly embarrassed.

--I'm not sure if that's what Chloe really meant to say, or if it's just a little bit more.

For the sake of the thoughts you've noticed, you might want to scratch your feet.
