I Am Troubled That My Fiance Is a Villain

Craig nodded like a famous detective with his fingers on his chin.

"That's all I can tell you."

If you ask with your gaze if you know anything, you can shrug your shoulders upwards.It's annoying that the workmanship is only a cliché.

For now, you're sure there was poison in the cake, right?

"But there's something I don't understand."At that time, Thea unnaturally replaced her cake with Luche's.If she knew there was poison in the strawberry cake, why did she take such a way to get our attention?Don't you think we should poison Luchet's eating cake? "

"Even if you didn't know it was poisoned, it's unnatural."

I tried desperately to figure out why, but there was too little information.

"Anyway, it's information gathering."

Where are you going? Thea seems to be in a no-go state.

“You can't tell Thea the truth.First, I'll consolidate my feet. "

What do you mean?

"At that time, I talked to the maid who was there."If you have a chance to mix poison in the kitchen, that's it. "

When I walked out, there were signs that Craig would follow me.

Currently, Thea is the most likely culprit.At least she went out of her way to exchange the poisoned cake for Rouche's.

But the way it is done gets caught up in everything.

It's easy to put Thea on hold as the killer.But I don't think that's all.

We must find the truth and make Rouchet pay for it.

Absolutely.

The search for the maid who thought she would be found soon became difficult.

It seems that the position has become messy because of the incident, and even if I ask the maid, he only replied that it is very annoying.I think it would be a royal mansion, but it might be impossible to ask the servants gathered just for this matchmaking party for unrestrained cohesion.

"I wonder where she went..."

Your heart is throbbing in response to frustration, and you're having a little trouble breathing.My body is abominably weak.

“A horse is a must, even if you're going from here to the nearest city.There are no horses that disappeared from the stables, and they must still be in this mansion. "

"Maybe he's hiding somewhere."

"Hide..."

"I have one idea."

Craig said with a thoughtful face as he clapped his index finger on the tip of his chin, which depicts a beautiful line.

Where?

"There is a shed that manages boat oars and ropes."The second floor over there is a good place for people to hide. "

"It's settled. Let's do it."

As he leads the service aisle, questions suddenly arise.

“I appreciate the information, but how do you know that?”

As a friend of your Highness, I wonder if you know all about the boathouse because you have to.

Craig blinked one by one and returned in a manner that made sense.

I was looking for a place that seemed good for bringing in a girl, and I found it.

It seemed futile to imagine a serious reason.

Is it okay to rely on such a man?

I became anxious suddenly, but even when I was helping your Highness and Rouchet stick together, they were somehow helping me properly, so I decided to trust them for the time being.

Craig's cabin was halfway between the boathouse and the forest.

Because of its simple construction, hidden by trees that are invisible from the lakefront, Craig probably wouldn't even have noticed its existence if he hadn't told him.

The two-story building seemed to be swallowed up by the forest behind it.

Is the cabin door locked? It doesn't scare me if I push it or pull it.

Looks like it was out of place.

Ignoring Craig, who was sadly breathing, I began to walk carefully around the cabin.

Then I noticed that the windows on the back of the building were half open.The windows are about the height of the chest, which is large enough for a small woman to pass through.

"Maybe he came in from here."

I peeked through the gap, but it was dim and I couldn't see well.

If this happens, we'll have to go inside.

Craig stopped me in a hurry as he tried to lift his body by putting his hand on the window sill.

Are you sure you want to get in?

Saying he doubted his sanity, he lifted one eyebrow.

If you're scared, you can wait here.

"That's not true."

"It's a bit expensive... I'm sorry, but can you help me?"

"Yes, yes, as you say."

Craig lifts his body and manages to climb the window sill.At that time, I felt like I had kicked him in the stomach, but since he was Craig, I decided not to care.

The inside is dim and dusty as seen from the outside.

The wall on the first floor is filled with oars, and it seems that there is no space for people to hide.

"I'll take a look upstairs.You wait there. "

"Hey, hey, are you okay by yourself?"

"You know the power of my punch."

Craig laughs bitterly when he remembers being beaten by a pimp the first time he met him.

Still a little uneasy, I hugged the smallest oar and decided to go upstairs.

Carefully climb the stairs so as not to make as much noise as possible.

I was about halfway up, and I heard something like the voice of a suppressed person.

Tension makes you moist and sweaty.

With the oars back in my hand, I lowered my stance and went up the stairs.

"That's why I did exactly as I was told...!"

The voice of the woman who heard the leak had a clear and impatient color.

I stared out of the gap between the handrails just above my eyes.

Due to the bad weather, there is only a small amount of light coming through the skylight for lighting.The interior is more messy than the first floor, so the outlook is bad.

The voices were coming from behind the stacked boxes.

There seemed to be another person besides the voice of the Lord, and the woman seemed to be desperately explaining herself to the other person.

From what it sounds like, I've followed your instructions, and you're asking for money and help with your escape, as promised.But the other person didn't seem convinced, and the woman's voice grew louder and louder.

“You're the one who told Thea to poison the strawberry cake she always eats!”

The words poison and cake make your body jump on its own.

After all, the maid poisoned the cake.

But what the hell is that supposed to mean?

I wonder why Thea's name comes up instead of Rouchet's.Now it is as if the poison was intended for Thea.

"At that time, Thea was listening to our conversation...!" That's why I need a cake. "

So the woman's words were cut off unnaturally.

The sounds of suffering and kicking on the floor continued.A woman's hand appeared behind the box and scratched the sky to ask for help.

Damn, we're being attacked!

Holding the oar back, I stepped forward to help her.

But the attempt failed.

Because I myself was struck on the head and fainted by someone who was approaching without sound from behind.

I woke up from a dull pain in the back of my head.

Did you hurt your muscles when you were beaten or even hurt the back of your neck?

I lifted my aching head and blinked several times as I roared.As he did so, his blurred vision gradually became clearer, and he realized that he was tied to a chair.

After being beaten or still moving his head desperately, he found that his legs were free, but his hands were tied to his elbows.The deep pink elbow was decorated with elaborate decorations, and I had the impression that it was slightly different from the rope for restraint.

A red carpet is laid at the foot, and the interior is dimly lit by fire.

It looks like the sun went down while I was fainting.

I didn't go to the VIP room, but it was well furnished, and at least it didn't look like a room that I could bring in just to kill.

Looks like I was stunned and taken to a different place than that cabin.

The rope that restrains my hand is firmly tied, and I can't seem to untie it.

Pounding and pain pulsating, my body feels like I have a fever.Even so, from the nervousness of being in a critical situation, my head was surprisingly refreshed.

Someone sneaked up behind me and beat me up and brought me here.

There was no space to hide on the first floor, so the person entered through the window or unlocked the shed in the same way as I did.Craig would have been in the way if he hadn't waited outside, so he would have fainted just like I did.Because he didn't kill me, he wouldn't have.Maybe he's being held in the same way in another room.

From what I heard about the theft in that shed, the maid should have poisoned the raspberry cake Thea always ate instead of getting the money.

The poison was intended for Thea.

But somehow Thea switched the cake with Rouche's.

The words of the maid come to life in my head.

"At that time, Thea was listening to our conversation...!" That's why I need a cake. "

That's why I switched the cake.

I don't know when that was, but there was probably a scene that could have been overheard.

In other words, Thea knew that her cake would be poisoned.

Speaking of which, wasn't René so enthusiastic about inviting me to tea that day?

What if Thea told me to bring Luchet, too?What if she found out that we were hiding Lucie and His Highness?

You tried to wipe out those in your way by using poison that was planted against you.

That's why Thea switched the cake at that time.

If you're caught in the middle of a question, at least she didn't tell you to poison the cake, and you can say that it was a tragedy of a whim.

Then who instructed the maid to infiltrate the poison?

The door opened as if to answer the question.

Unexpectedly, the door was opened by two well-dressed men.Following that, the hem of the bright blue dress peeps.

The figure that came in was familiar to me.

"Adelina..."

Greetings, Emilia-sama.

"Good morning."

Adelina's elegantly unfolded skirt makes this an elegant figure tied to a chair.

If you look down at the gaze, perhaps you've come to help, you won't even get the foolish idea.

"Why should I ask you this?"

Adelina leaned her melancholy thin neck and sat down on the sumptuous chair that the pair had prepared.Her face, edged by her straight brown hair, was white, and her jade eyes were shaking anxiously.To calm my feelings, my gripped handkerchief is wrinkled.

"I really didn't want to do this."

"Oh, yes. I'd like to try something."Instead of listening to me, would you please let me go? "

The response was a vague smile. So it's no.

It became clear that Adelina was the human side that attacked me.

That's the point, but I don't have to think about it.

"You poisoned the cake."

I saw Adelina's mouth twitching.

She exhales deeply and long, without denying or affirming it.

Why isn't life going well, I wonder?

It was a low, sticky voice.

“I had a fiancé who was close to marriage.I didn't like it, but I wasn't a bad person.Above all, it is the opponent decided by the house."But I fell from a certain Hima, and it was just like that..."I was sad, I was scared, I cried every day. "

Adelina switched her expression as she wiped her eyes in a playful motion.

The big eyes of the jade glowed like the girl they dreamed of.

"To tell the truth, Your Highness is my first love."So when His Highness heard that his fiancé had died, he thought this was fate.I've thought a lot about it.How can I be His Highness's wife? "

"Is that the poisoned cake?"

"After all, you've heard it.""What shall I do..." I really want to be His Highness's wife. "

I didn't know that.

Adelina lowered her eyebrows as she stared at me without saying anything.

"Hey, Emilia-sama." We're relatives, aren't we?I'm sure I won't make you feel bad.That's why you won't shut up. "

“Does that mean you admit that you're the one who instructed me to put the poison in?”

"... yes, that's right."

“But Thea switched the cake, and instead Lucie ate the poisoned cake.”

"I've done something really pathetic."But you saved my life, didn't you? "

"That's not the problem."

"You were a dear friend."Thea didn't die from eating cake quietly.She must have overheard it and fed it to poor Lucia Venner. It's really a terrible woman. "

"You can put yourself on the shelf and say goodbye to this murderer."

Pittari and Adelina's body hardened.

She shook her shoulders and stood up. She walked up to me and quickly waved her right hand.

He twitched his eyes and gnashed his teeth.

There is a fluttering sound and a bouncing pain spreads on your cheeks.

You slapped me, you bitch.

Staring at her, Adelina twisted her beautiful face ugly.Are you trying to laugh? The edges of my mouth are twitching and twitching.

Emilia-sama is your adopted daughter, isn't she?

So what?

"Grandpa said that."You really should be dead. "

“How's it going?

"I wonder if I need to keep you alive if you don't sniff around and help me?"Hey, Emilia-sama. "
