The Crazy Villainess in This Area Is Me

I knew that asking questions like this, even to a child, was a bad thing to do.

What Magorit had done must be returned to her, and I knew very well that there was no need to burn my revenge on Magorit’s daughter. That made me feel even more heartbroken. No, it hurts and bitter.

Although things went wrong, the fact that I ended up feeding Roseni a cake containing sand created a sharp thorn in my heart. It felt like it was stabbing my chest, and my neck trembled.

I quietly stared at Roseni. Luxurious dress, jewel-encrusted pin. My gaze, which was focused on the child, soon turned to the bookshelf.

The age difference between Merilly and Roseni was only one year. But the bookshelf was filled with books that seemed difficult for a six-year-old to read.

Like me, who received classes at Gracie Duchy, Roseni must have also received various classes. However, Merilly didn’t receive the things she was expected to learn as a noble. Kriella and Endimion were out of the mansion every day, and the child’s bookshelves were emptied.

The background surrounding Roseni and the background surrounding Merilly were completely different as if reading a novel of different genres.

The fact that the child in front of me was Magorit’s daughter and that I felt such despair and anger toward a young child all created confusion in my mind.

Without even expecting me to feel this way, Roseni put the fork containing the cake into her mouth. Soon, she felt a foreign thing in her mouth, and an unpleasant sound rang in her ear. That child’s expression crumpled.

“

.”

Roseni chewed for a while, then spat out what she was eating. White sand was crumbled around the slightly melted cream and pieces of bread.

“…What is this? It’s sand.” Roseni’s complexion quickly darkened.

I observed the child’s face and then spoke in bewilderment. “Yes? Sand? No way… It was given to me by the little madam herself…”

“…Who did my mother tell you to bring this to?”

“It’s Lady Merilly.”

“…

” Roseni sighed deeply at my reply.

“I’m sorry, Lady. Today is my first day, so I don’t know anything.”

I was just carrying the food. Even though I had done nothing wrong, I immediately lowered my head. But Roseni pursed her lips in a pouty tone and stood up from her seat with her arms crossed.

“That’s enough. It worked out better.”

“…Pardon?”

“Today is your first day, so you can make a mistake. This is something I should get angry about.”

Does she resemble Magorit’s evilness as I feared?

Even though she was still young, she didn’t seem to be generous to the maid.

One of my eyebrows lifted as I observed the child. But soon, I lowered both my eyebrows in despair, then curled back with tears.

“I’m sorry. I’m sorry, Lady…”

“

I have to go to my mother.”

“Lady…!”

Undaunted by my apologies and pathetic calls, Roseni immediately took the cake plate and left the room.

When the child went out, my expression immediately froze cold. I hoped, even if only slightly that Roseni was an innocent child who knew nothing. Because I didn’t want to harm that child. However, is it inevitable because she is Magorit’s daughter, or is it a matter of education?

I forcibly loosened my cold face and followed after Roseni. That child had already reached Magorit’s room. I hurriedly followed her into Magorit’s room.

“Mother!” The child approached Magorit with a red face, looking very angry.

“Roseni?”

Her eyes turned from Roseni’s angry face to the plate of cake the child had brought. Magorit’s face hardened in an instant.

“Roseni, that’s…”

“How on earth do you work?”

I stood back hesitantly and looked at the two with an innocent face. Soon, Magorit glared at me as if she was going to kill me.

Magorit’s face turned bright red with anger.

Although I felt sorry for Roseni, I pressed my lips against my own, suppressing the possibility of laughing out loud. From the look of Magorit, she must be feeling emotions. Of course, my revenge hadn’t even begun yet.

“That maid brought me this cake.” She seemed very angry and even pointed her finger at me.

As Roseni’s voice gradually becoming more and more higher, the child nervously set down the plater with cake in front of Magorit. A sharp sound sounded in the room as it hit the marble table surface. There was a strange tension between the three of us to match the sound.

Magorit glared at me with red eyes. Her bloodshot eyes seemed to ask, ‘Did you do this on purpose?’ But I just lightly shrugged my shoulders. It meant that it was just a simple mistake.

“A cake with sand on it.”

“…Roseni.”

“How could you do this?”

Strangely, the end of Roseni’s words was watery. The child’s emotions were too intense for it to be simply called an angry snitch to point out the maid’s mistake.

“I told you!”

My head tilted slightly as I looked at the completely angry child. No matter how precious she was raised, she shouldn’t have gotten angry and tearful just because she chewed some sand. Besides, didn’t she spit it out right after taking just one bite?

It was the moment when I felt strange and tried to sigh.

“Are you planning to feed Merilly another strange dessert?”

But my thought that Roseni would resemble Magorit was completely wrong. Instantly my eyes opened wide. She said, ‘Feed Merilly another strange dessert…’ Did Roseni know about it?

At Roseni’s words, Magorit quickly thought. No matter how much Lobelia lost her memory, that crazy woman would react out if she had tried to feed her daughter a strange dessert.

Magorit got up from her seat to cover Roseni’s mouth somehow. “Baby, it’s a misunderstanding. First, calm down…”

But the child’s words were not yet finished.

“Why on earth are you doing this!”

Roseni raised her voice more than ever before. “I told you not to do that!”

“Oh, Baby. I’m just doing it for Merilly’s health. I told you. It’s not sand, it’s breaking sacred stones…” She continued to look at Lobelia’s eyes and spoke as naturally as possible.

However, Magorit’s words didn’t make sense to Roseni because it was an excuse she had already heard several times.

“Stop using her health as an excuse! Where in the world you could find sacred stones? My history teacher said that the only people who could use holy power were the Shinsu clan and the priests of that time! But they didn’t even exist now!”

The child immediately refuted Magorit’s words and continued to speak firmly. “The last time I turned a blind eye to Mother’s evil deeds was because you promised never to do it again.”

Roseni, who had just turned six, was so upset that her mother couldn’t even think of answering. Magorit looked embarrassed and only broke into a cold sweat.

I was equally surprised. That made me look blankly at Roseni with trembling eyes, as I was shocked.

“…Roseni. For a moment…”

“If you do it this way, I’ll tell grandma and father. I can’t take it anymore!”

That little child,

“Roseni. Baby.”

“I can’t take it anymore…”

Roseni,

“I told you for sure.”

She got angry in Merilly’s stead.

The only person in this mansion who cares for Merilly. It wasn’t Merilly’s biological father or biological grandmother…

It was Roseni, who had just turned six.

Tears slowly seeped down my trembling eyes.
