The Villainess, Cecilia Silvy, Doesn’t Want to Die, so She Decided to Crossdress
13. Why did you invite Oscar?
"In other words, you two are trying to find niisama." I was trespassing in niisama's room to get information for that purpose..... "
In Laurent's words, Cecilia nodded vaguely, “Um, yes...”
According to Oscar's explanation, 'we had known Janice for a long time and happened to break into his empty room to look for him who had disappeared'.
Cecil was wearing a disguise because, to be honest, I didn't think he'd be able to help.
After hearing the story, Laurent said, "If you're looking for niisama, I'll cooperate with you as much as I can!” she said, shouting.
Looks like Laurent trusted Oscar's story. I don't know if he trusts people easily or if Oscar's trust makes him do it, but he's gotten it.
By the way, Laurent didn't think the servant in the closet with Oscar was Cecil at first, "Oscar, what are you doing with the servant here...?" No way! That kind of hobby was about to cause a strange misunderstanding. Cecilia couldn't help but think, "It's me!" When I confessed while raising one hand, I was surprised to see my eyes peel off again after a moment of convincing expression.
At that time, Laurent's face was exactly that of a pigeon with a bean cannon.
After explaining the whole situation, the two of them sat down and listened to Laurent's explanation.
"The key to this room was available because I often come here. While you're embarrassed, you can't leave your brother."
He looked around the large room and scratched his cheek shyly.
"Niisama has disposed of most of what he has and disappeared, so there is nothing left here." That's why I don't usually have the habit of locking myself out... "
Was Lord Roland close to Lord Janice?
After thinking for a moment about Cecilia's question, Laurent frowned in embarrassment.
“I don't know if we were close. However, I trusted it and it was my goal. Because niisama was the best of our brothers."
For the last two days, Cecil's figure, which he had avoided, was not there.
After getting a little lost, Laurent raised her face and stuck herself up to Oscar.
"You two... maybe I called Oscar because I actually wanted to ask you a favor about niisama."
About Lord Janice?
"Yes, I want you to stop niisama."
To these words, Oscar and Cecilia look at each other. "If you want me to find out," I still know, but what do you mean by "I want you to stop"? Laurent doesn't know what Janice did in the Prosperous Kingdom. You're supposed to be in a state where you only hear that he has disappeared. Or do you have any idea?
Roland hesitated a few times before opening his mouth.
Niisama might die himself
Oscar and Cecilia blinded themselves as they listened to the words.
"Can you keep this conversation confidential?" After the preface, he speaks up.
Did you know that Niisama had two older brothers on top of him?
"Yeah. They're both good people, but they passed away..."
With that nod, Cecilia remembered what she had heard from Isabel.
”Prince Janice had two very good brothers, but they passed away......”
"With the death of the last two princes, Prince Janice became the number one heir to the throne, there were many people who rumored." The royal family has never been as rough as it was then. It seems that the king is also suspicious of Prince Janice, and has not officially nominated him as the next king...... "
His mother died just like that, and he was not able to get out of the room for a while due to a lot of shock.
Laurent nods "Yes," to Cecilia's words, and then speaks the truth of the shock.
”In fact, it was Janice-sama's mother, Chloe, who killed her two brothers.”
Is that true?
"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes, not rumors."
Roland laid his hand on his chest as he lowered his gaze.
"Master Chloe was very kind." That's why he was a soothing woman who resembled niisama. It was very good for me without my mother.... just niisama's seventeenth birthday. Somehow, from that day on, I became a madly violent person. "
At first, he was suspected of being mentally ill, but when the doctor saw him, his symptoms never got better, and he seemed to have been under claustrophobia for a while.
"Master Chloe was completely out of her mind." Cut off the arms of the princess of a neighbouring country who came to dowry to niisama, and ordered the head of the minister who embezzled the nation's money to be sacrificed on the spot.... but the king managed to shelter him there. Until I poisoned the two niisamas above..... "
The top brother died from the poison, and the second brother managed to take his life, but Chloe, who heard the story, broke into the room and stabbed the prince in the chest with a knife.
"I was here to pay my respects, and I happened to be there. Chloe didn't even look at me. She came straight to the side of the bed and stabbed Michelle's chest without any hesitation. And I said," [Say hello to Janice.] "" She's the next king. ""
Immediately, an order was laid, and Chloe was captured.
Chloe was brought to justice immediately because of the presence of witnesses, including Laurent.....
"I passed away in a dungeon without waiting for a trial." Chloe hid the same poison that she had on her niisama. "
"Oh no..."
"And it seemed that Niisama thought it was all his fault about those incidents." Sometimes that strong niisama complained to me that it was all his fault. And from around there. Niisama got out of the Royal Palace a little bit... "
As for Chloe, she's a nomad. No matter how good Janice is, she can't be named Prince. However, it would be strange to nominate Laurent in addition to Janice's presence.
"I don't feel like niisama is looking for a place to die." Even if I am a wanderer, my luggage has remained the same until now, and you have sent me letters often. And this time, at some point, the luggage was gone, even the letter..... "
Laurent makes a fist on her lap with regret.
"Actually, I was going to tell you the day I met you. However, I've hesitated many times because I wanted to talk...."
What about the King?
“I know. I also made a statement. However, it seems that your father also thinks of you as a troublemaker." Leave me alone. "" If he's gone, you'll be the next king. "It's not a bad story, is it?" I'm not interested in anything like that.... "
Perhaps the King's response was because of the Prosperous Kingdom. Now that he's back, the king will have nothing to rejoice about. If what he did was accepted as true, Nortlach and the king would bear a heavy responsibility and could develop into an international issue.
"I want niisama to come home early." So, please help us both! I want to stop niisama! "
Roland bowed his head deeply as he said so.
Oscar and Cecilia stared at each other for a moment.
I don't mind cooperating with him. Rather, we should cooperate. We're both looking for Janice, just like Laurent.
The problem here, however, is that the purpose of finding Janice is the opposite of Laurent. In Laurent, who wants Janice to return to the country, and in Cecilia, who thinks that Janice is dangerous and cannot be left alone, the meaning of the word "find Janice" becomes different.
Laurent looked down sadly at the two of them who did not utter a word and said, "I'm sorry. All of a sudden I'm saying this..." she murmured.
If you ever see Laurent crying, Oscar makes a difficult sound as he rubbing his eyebrows.
"Well, let me think for a moment." We have a desire to find Lord Janice, but we also have a situation here..... "
“Okay, I'd love to hear back from you by the time you leave the country, if possible.”
Whether he knew the minute or not, Laurent just smiled and ended the conversation.
