The Crazy Villainess in This Area Is Me

“Yes, I will.”

Surprisingly, Endimion agreed to her words right away without hesitation. It was a good thing. He wouldn’t have to see Frinel flirting with Lobelia if she became his official concubine.

Looking at him with a ridiculous face, Magorit immediately stepped forward. “What are you saying now? To whom do you give my authority?”

She deliberately let out a loud laugh and continued. “No family gives concubines all of their wife’s rights! Moreover, to a lowly commoner…!”

“Lowly commoner?”

Because she was so mad, she couldn’t filter out the words that came to her mind. And the first to react to her words was Frinel.

“Be careful what you say. I can’t even call you marchioness anymore as your powers have been taken away.”

“Your Royal Highness…!”

I couldn’t skip the words that came to my mind because I was so excited.

“As a noble lady born from a great family… You wouldn’t say you didn’t learn the founding principles established by the first emperor, right?”

The founding principle of the Tiazen Empire was ‘love humanity.’ Although it has been somewhat distorted, in fact, the concept of the nobility system was that the nobles, who received more education than commoners, would teach and educate them.

Magorit, who knew the meaning better than anyone else, couldn’t refute anymore and only twitched her lips.

“Then is it over?”

“One more thing.”

“Hmm?”

“That woman… I’d like her to go to the annex. What if she touches Merilly again when I’m not looking?”

“I see. Let’s do that.” Endimion nodded his head again without a second thought.

“Endimion! Are you really crazy?”

Magorit couldn’t even think of closing her mouth in such a shocking situation.

“How can you make a decision like that right away without even thinking about it for a day? Huh?”

No matter how wrong she was, he shouldn’t be swayed like this by his concubine’s words. It was right for him to at least take the time to investigate whether or not she was really at fault before making a decision.

“Endimion…!” She held him tightly by the arm again in a sad voice. But all she got back was Endimion’s cold expression.

“I’m barely holding back from kicking you out of the Hamilton March right now.”

“Endi, please…”

“How could you abuse my daughter…”

He sighed heavily as he washed his face dry as if he still hadn’t shaken off the shock. Then he spoke again coldly. “If you don’t want to anger me further, I think it would be best to quietly listen to Lobelia.”

“Endimion…!”

“You should be thankful that I didn’t report it to your mother right away.”

At Endimion’s resolute words, Magorit’s eyes shook.

“But…!”

“Pack up your belongings today and move to the annex. I’ll think of a good excuse for the kids. Let’s go now, Lobelia. We need time to think now.”

He said he needed time to think as he bent down.  

Magorit looked bewildered at Endimion, who placed his hand on Lobelia’s shoulder.

Lobelia said innocently, “Then will you move my room to Mari’s original room, Marquis?”

“If it’s your will, My Lobelia.” He looked at her lovingly as if he were alone with Lobelia in this room.

Lobelia smiled even more beautifully, even though she felt disgusted inside. “Great. I really wanted to live in a big room someday.”

As if captivated by that smile, Endimion lowered his eyebrows pitifully and said, “I’m sorry for causing you so much trouble. I will never give you trouble again.”

“Thank you, Marquis. Then let’s go out. I don’t want to be in the same room with someone who abused my daughter. Let’s go too, Frinel.”

“Yes.”

The three left the room in harmony. Before they knew it, Magorit was the only one left in the room. In the room of Lobelia, whom she called lowly commoner.

No, she couldn’t even enjoy this. Endimion might appear fragile on the surface, but in a sense, he was quite cunning. There was no way he could deceive the two women while living in two houses for three years if he wasn’t like that.

“

”

A helpless laugh slipped out between her lips without her even realizing it. Her legs were so shaky that she couldn’t even stand properly. She stumbled and slumped on the sofa.

She could never sleep comfortably in the five years since she pushed Lobelia with her own hand. Even though Magorit is a noble who looks down on commoners, it isn’t that easy for her to kill someone.

There were times when she wished she could go back to that day. She consoled herself, rationalizing that if she could go back then, she wouldn’t have committed murder.

Before she knew it, her dry lips, like dried roses, had drawn a strangely curved line.

“No.”

She laughed as if she had really lost her mind, then exhaled heavily and repeatedly. Then she slowly lifted her blank eyes.

“I have to kill her again.”

The green eyes resembling poison stared bitterly at where Lobelia had left.

“And make sure she never comes back alive again.”

She was only burning her revenge on Lobelia, completely ignoring Endimion, who had created this whole situation.

⚜ ⚜ ⚜

Frinel and Endimion, who came out of the room, glancing at each other with Lobelia between them. She suddenly turned her head as if she sensed the two people’s gaze.

“Ah, come to think of it, what is your business, Frinel?”

“Your luggage still remains. I should take care of what you need to pack and throw away what you need to throw away, but I don’t know much about it.”

“Aha, I guess I should go with you.”

“Then me too,”

“No, Marquis. I’ll be back soon. First of all, I think we need to inform the servants of my official position. Don’t we have some things to clean up after that?”

Lobelia raised the end of her sentence, cutting his words like a knife. Endimion smiled awkwardly and nodded his head.

“Yes. That’s right.”

“Now I’m Marquis’s official concubine, so what is there to be anxious about?”

“…Yes. You’re right, Lia.”

At her words, his smile eased a little.

Looking at those two, a small sigh escaped Frinel’s lips. Even though he clearly knew that it was just an act, he couldn’t hide his distraught feelings. But at this moment, the most difficult thing in this act was Lobelia. He didn’t want to make things difficult for her by adding his feelings.

Frinel suppressed his emotions and opened his mouth with a smile. “Lady Lobelia.”

“Yes, Frinel.”

“I’ll be waiting outside, so come out when you’re done.”

“Yes, I will.”

Then, he kissed Lobelia’s hand slightly as if to show off on purpose.

“…Please take care of Lobelia, Your Royal Highness.”

“Finish your work neatly. What would people in society say if they heard it?” He raised his eyebrows bitterly and kicked his tongue out of the mansion.

That action seemed to have ignited Endimion’s spirit. He immediately announced to all the mansion residents that Lobelia was his official concubine. She had got all the power of marchioness. But Lobelia did not stop there.

“Please confirm it, Marquis.”

“Huh?”

“The servants will know. How did Mari treat Merilly when Marquis was away.” Her fierce eyes turned to the gathered servants. “And how they pretended not to know.”

They shook their shoulders and immediately bowed their heads. Because their lives were at stake, they sat on the sidelines and pretended not to know.

“If there had been just one person to report it, the situation might have been different.”

Even though they knew it was clearly wrong.

Chelsea, the maid at the front, rolled her eyes and looked at Lobelia. Looking at the situation, it seemed like the little madam was being kicked out by the concubine. There were times when she felt sorry for Magorit, but she had no intention of protecting her. It was clear that she was abusing Merilly. So, it was her time to find a way to stay alive.

She immediately fell flat on the cold floor. “I-I was wrong!”

“…

?”

“I had no choice but to keep my mouth shut because I have children. That’s the life of commoners… It’s hard for us to get food in our mouths… If we report it, we will be lucky if we don’t get beaten to death…”

Chelsea bowed her head even more, tears streaming down her face in sorrow. She had no intention of claiming that she was completely innocent. What was wrong was wrong. She had no intention of denying her fault after getting this old.

But that was that, and this was this. It was true that she had family members to feed, and it was true that she couldn’t report it because of them and her own life.

Other servants around her also fell to their knees and cried.

Lobelia’s eyes widened as she looked at them. They were just commoners. They had no choice but to watch it from the sidelines. It couldn’t be said that they were innocent, but it was too much to fire all of them.

After finishing her thoughts, a most kind smile appeared on her lips.

If you give me one chance, I will give you all this body…”

“Yes. I understand.”

“Yes…?”

All eyes, confused by the unexpected answer, immediately focused on Lobelia.

“I have no intention of criticizing you outright. If you felt the slightest bit of guilt while watching that little child suffer alone… Right. That’s enough.”

“That means…”

“Yes. Instead, please take good care of me and my child from now on.” She looked sad, her eyes welling up with tears. “As much as you can. Please.”

Seeing her like that, both servants and Endimion had similarly moved expressions. They felt like a saintess had suddenly appeared before the Hamilton March.

“There’s nothing more I wish for. That’s all. Of course, the marchioness didn’t just try to kill me, she also abused my child, so I can’t forgive her.”

Lobelia even subtly mentioned the fact that Magorit tried to kill her, and she swept her head.

Chelsea glanced at Endimion, then opened her mouth first. “L-long live Lady Lobelia! Long live little Madam!”

“Long live! Long live little Madam!”

The cheers that began with her spread to all the servants.

In any mansion, the concubine was never called as ‘Madam’. However, here, they were cheering and calling the concubine as ‘little Madam’.

Little did they know. The woman they’re cheering for is, in fact, an evil woman who will completely destroy this mansion.
