The Crazy Villainess in This Area Is Me

Roseni, who had been crying for a long time in my arms, seemed embarrassed for crying and told me to go out immediately. I bowed my head before returning to my room.

Everyone would say it was strange for a maid to be using the guest room on the first floor, but Magorit and Kriella would take care of it.

“

” As soon as I entered the room, a sigh flowed out without realizing it.

The morning had only passed, but I felt as if I had consumed all my emotions, so my energy drifted out. But there was no time to rest. My butt, which had been glued to the bed for a while as I rubbed my tired eyelids, went up again.

Regardless of the justification, I was able to find that they were feeding my daughter strange food. Even though I was pretending to lose my memory, it would be strange for me to remain still in a situation like this.

The image of Duke Gracie, who turned out to be my biological grandfather, and Bella, my half-sister, flashed through my mind. And at the end of it was Frinel, a man who resembled the sun. In my imagination, he was smiling brightly as always. He looked at me with extremely loving eyes.

I shook my head vigorously. My heart began to beat like crazy when I thought of Frinel.

I tapped my cheek.

Frinel kept talking nonsense, so I was probably momentarily fooled.

The situation I was in was never easy. This means that if I’m really a human being, I couldn’t at least play games while my daughter is being abused.

In a bitter mood for some reason, I sighed deeply and grabbed the door handle. And just in time, the door burst open.

“…Mari.”

It was none other than Magorit who opened the door. She seemed quite agitated. She hurried into the room and closed the door. 

“It’s a misunderstanding.” Magorit smiled awkwardly, unable to keep her hands still. It looked like she was uneasy about whether I would tell Kriella or Endimion about it. Her trembling fingertip showed her anxiety.

“Misunderstanding?”

I stood crookedly and raised the end of my tone. Seeing my attitude as if I was ready to argue at any moment, Magorit blinked her eyes quickly and raised both hands.

“Okay. I’ll admit it. What I believe is heresy. But I really just sought help from a religious organization for the sake of Merilly’s body.”

“

that’s why you sprinkle sand on my daughter’s dessert?”

A smile popped out on my face. You’re calling that an excuse? My eyes were filled with flame.

Magorit made an excuse again in front of the fierce, flashing eyes like a wild beast with its prey in front of it. “I carefully ground the sacred stone, not sand…”

There was no longer any patience left for me to continue to listen to such nonsense. I openly laughed at Magorit and spoke slowly. “Stop fucking with me.”

“W-what…?”

“Don’t be ridiculous, Mari.”

My eyes, which were glaring at her, folded beautifully.

“Now,”

I poked Magorit near her collarbone, pushing her to the edge of the wall.

“Where,”

Magorit’s back, which had been retreating little by little, reached the door.

“is the sacred stone you were talking about?”

Her shoulders trembled at the threatening threat.

Magorit pursed her lips dumbly, unable to reply. She had to come up with an excuse right away, but strangely, she couldn’t open her mouth easily.

On the outside, she pretended to be a noble who knew the extent of things, pretending to be generous. Still, on the inside, she ignored and belittled commoners.

The woman in front of her was just a commoner. But what on earth is this pressure? The pressure and fear she felt wasn’t something she could feel simply because Lobelia was holding onto her weakness.

“Come to your senses. Are you crazy?”

“You…!”

Right, maybe it’s just because of what she did. She tried to kill the woman her husband loved, and she tormented their daughter. It’s just her weak conscience inside of her that’s causing this fear.

Magorit tried to console herself, barely managing to get her voice out. “I told you. That’s—!”

“What you sprinkled wasn’t a sacred stone. It was sand. If even a single particle gets into food by mistake, when you chew it up, it gives an unpleasant feeling.”

“No. It’s a sacred stone. It’s a sacred stone containing sacred power. You don’t even thank me.” She even clicked her tongue as if she had decided to go out even more brazenly.

“What you saw was sand, not sacred stones. Sand that makes even one grain unpleasant by chewing far away if it goes wrong into the food.”

“Really?” I smiled. “If it’s that sacred…”

My eyes, which had lost focus, soon rolled slowly toward Magorit.

“You should try it too.”

At that moment, a rough breath sprang through Magorit’s lips.

Those abyss-like eyes that strangled her with madeleine covered with sand in her mouth. It was because she could see those eyes and Lobelia’s emerald eyes overlapping.

It felt like she was hearing hallucinations in her ears. At the same time, the blue wound hidden by the scarf began to tighten around her neck like a snake.

She wrapped her arms around her neck and quivered her lips. She thought the pain had subsided a bit these days, but she felt a suffocating chill coming from the wound on her neck. Her teeth were chattering, and her body was shaking as if she had gone outside in the middle of winter without even a shawl on.

Magorit’s gaze, swaying as weakly as a reed, turned to her. Even though they looked completely different, she felt like they were the same person, so she was getting goosebumps all over her body.

“…Mari?”

I tilted my head in wonder and extended my hand towards Magorit.

“

!” She slumped down, wrapping her hand around her neck.

“What?” I looked at her pathetically, crumpling my brow.

Magorit was breathing heavily, still wrapping her hand around her neck.

Now that I think about it, Magorit has been wearing a scarf ever since I strangled her. Even though scarves are not popular in society these days.

The most important thing for a noble was fashion; falling out of fashion was shameful behavior. But she’s wearing an unfashionable scarf all the time? It was a very awkward behavior.

Why did I only notice something strange now? It had been three months since I had taken noble classes, but because I had lived my entire life as a commoner, my sense of vision wasn’t yet as sharp as that of a noble.

My eyes widened to the side as I scolded myself.

Moreover, Magorit was strangely anxious. Could it be that what I did before had left Magorit with severe trauma?

That was when I wondered. For a moment, the scarf around Magorit’s neck loosened slightly. When the scarf completely fell to the floor, something caught my eye.

“Uh…?” Unknowingly, a voice of shock popped out between my lips.

What she was desperately hiding was none other than a blue wound imbued with mana. It was sparkling with a dark blue light following the handprint I had made.

At that moment, my mana surged due to my soaring high anger. But I didn’t use magic. If I had used magic, Magorit would have died instantly. 

Although the surrounding objects and windows were broken due to the mana that exploded because it was not released properly, it was adjusted and controlled so as not to kill Magorit. But what on earth is that wound? No, it was too cute to be called a wound.

The blue wound had deep darkness as if it should be called a curse.

“What are you doing now? Get up, Mari.”

I opened my mouth with a fierce look, thinking I should find out more about that strange wound.

“We’re not done talking yet.”

Unlike my easy-going face, Magorit didn’t look relaxed at all.

I continued speaking. “What else did you do after you fed my daughter sand? Huh? I’m telling you to get up right now…!”

It was when I shouted again, raising the corners of my mouth bitterly. At that moment, Magorit’s eyes opened up. She got up from her seat and immediately ran towards me. My body fell to the floor due to the sudden action.

“Die, Lobelia…!”

And Magorit began to strangle me as if she were someone else. Her dark blue wound was shining, and at the same time, her eyes were full of murderous intent, as if she were going crazy with pain.
