The Villainess in the Romance Fantasy Is Strange

3. Leah von Eleves (2)

Homemade sweets.

The surface is uneven and bumpy, giving the impression of being immature.

Why are you giving this to me?

I couldn’t understand Lia von Eleves’ intentions, so I looked up blankly. She blushed slightly and let out a cough.

“Knight, if you stare at her lady’s face like that. Wouldn’t I be a little shy?”

At Leah von Eleves’s words, I lost my mind for a moment.

What, lady?

Lia von Eleves, a promising villainous young girl who will one day become the greatest villain in the empire, or Leah. Does she dare to call herself a lady?

I was going to ask for a correction, saying that the remark would be rude to all the ladies in the world. With great patience, she swallowed her words.

I don’t know why Leah von Eleves is doing this. She may reveal her true color right away if you are not careful that she treats you kindly for a while.

So I decided to cater to her whims first.

“Sorry, the snacks that Lady Eleves gave me. I will be grateful.”

I accepted the handmade cookie that Leah von Eleves had given me, and quickly inspected the surface.

Perhaps, I hope, but it could have been poisoned. Pretending not to be the case, I examined it very carefully, but first of all, there was nothing wrong with the outside.

…… If so, here is the tasting.

– Misread, misread.

“Does it suit your taste, knight?”

I was going to praise him unconditionally even if it didn’t suit my taste, but I didn’t have to. Apart from the immature appearance of the snack, the taste was very good.

When you take a bite, the aroma of brown sugar fills your mouth. The confectionery skills are quite good.

“Yes. Delicious.”

“Yeah, that’s right. Thank god. I made it myself because it suits my taste.”

“…… You made this yourself?”

Wasn’t it made by one of the Eleves family cooks?

This was unexpected again, so I looked up with a surprised face. Leah von Eleves smiles shyly.

“I heard that the person who will be my escort driver will arrive this afternoon. I woke up early in the morning and made it in a hurry.”

“… ….”

It may sound pathetic, but men are inherently weak at the word ‘homemade cooking’ of women.

That’s why I almost thought Leah von Eleves was cute for a moment.

Relax your mind, right before you lose your guard. Recall that after 7 years, she will become the most evil woman in the empire. She barely kept her spirits up.

“Ah…. Okay. Waking up early in the morning for me, the homemade sweets you made for me… It was.”

“Yes, it is!”

Ria von Eleves spoke in an uncharacteristic, rather lively tone. I couldn’t hear it properly because I was thinking about what to serve as a return gift for homemade sweets.

Of course, I ate homemade sweets made by Leah von Eleves, the daughter of the famous Count Eleves.

Originally, if something goes, there must be something coming. Since give and take is common sense in the aristocracy’s world, I have to offer something equivalent to homemade sweets in order to behave properly.

So, that means you have to give Lia von Eleves an item in return right away. The problem is, I didn’t bring anything, did I?

My food, clothing, and shelter are supposed to be taken care of by the Eleves family, who hired me, so my only belongings are the sword I wore around my waist and my wallet with cash in case of an emergency.

It is against etiquette to present a sword to a female aristocrat who has not undergone a coming-of-age ceremony, and giving cash…. My mouth hurts just talking about it.

So, while thinking about what to offer, I put my hand into my bosom.

Then, something hard touched the tip of my finger.

“Wow, that’s a pretty potion. Knight, what effect does that potion have?”

The moment I was about to put it back, though, I thought this was a little off. Leah von Eleves is starting to show interest in my potion.

I stopped hesitantly, and gently covered the potion bottle with the palm of my hand.

“Well, that’s it. This is a potion that enhances the body’s natural healing power….”

“Natural healing power… !”

Leah von Eleves had her eyes shining.

“Mr. If your natural healing power improves, will you be able to grow taller?”

“Uh, well. I also heard that the natural healing power is improved, but I haven’t heard the detailed effect. The part I can’t guarantee is….”

Her slightly flushed face, she took a step closer to her.

“Can you give me that potion?”

“…… Yes? This one?”

“Yes, you said it was a potion that enhances natural healing power, right? I want to drink it Because I want to grow taller.”

Obviously, Lia von Eleves wasn’t very tall.

She said that according to her description in the play, she is about one knuckle shorter than Stella, who is 162cm, so it must be around 160cm if you put enough on it, right?

Her height has not changed even in the year she turns 20, so it is a definite matter that her height is not taller than 160cm. No way, the current Lia von Eleves didn’t know that and asked for the potion.

Perhaps he wants to grow up and become an adult as soon as possible, and he is asking me for a potion with the heart of a child.

“… ….”

Handing over the potion is not difficult. However, this potion was something I swallowed and then spat out, which I brought back using my brother’s magic.

What if I give you this, and then, by chance, you find out that I spit out the potion?

I don’t know, but it’s certain that a catastrophe, or something similar to it, will happen. So I put my hand into my bosom to hide the potion-.

──Gasp.

“…… Knight?”

Lea von Eleves grabbed me by the sleeve.

Ku-wook puts a lot of energy into his dainty grip.

“Have you not heard what I said? I said I wanted to receive the potion… ?”

It seems that they are restraining themselves, but it is the strength of a young girl. It’s very simple for me, who has been training since I was young, to resist.

However, the opponent is not an ordinary girl, but a rare evil woman, Leah von Eleves. If she recklessly brushes it off, she might reveal her hidden true color and start to annoy me.

First of all, I tried to talk without rushing.

“Hey, Leah von Eleves.”

“Can you call me Leah? People close to me call me that.”

“My lady, calm down first. Will you listen to me?”

Didn’t you like the title ‘lady’? Leah von Eleves twitched her eyebrows.

However, as an escort knight serving a noble lady, I couldn’t call out the name of someone who was no different from my lord. She didn’t change her title and continued her speech.

“There is one thing I didn’t tell you about, but this potion actually has a lot of side effects.”

“Yes? It’s not a big side effect, what the hell is that… ?”

“Yes, what are the big side effects? As soon as….”

She slurred her words and quickly shook her head. What could be a good reason to stop Lia von Eleves from drinking this potion?

If you drink it, you will get a serious illness…. The excuse is too obvious, and if you drink, misfortune will come…. It doesn’t even make sense.

Isn’t it absurd for an escort knight who serves an aristocratic lady close to her to carry around such a dangerous potion?

So be a bit more real, but never let Leah von Eleves put this potion on her lips. There must be a plausible excuse.

In my troubled eyes, I saw the flat upper body of Leah von Eleves.

…… Oh yeah. This is it. I hope this is an excuse.

I cleared her voice and met her eyes with Lia von Eleves.

“That is, breast enlargement.”

“…… A heart?”

“Yes, this potion enhances the body’s natural healing power. However, while it is so effective, it has a fatal side effect that if a young woman drinks it, her breasts will become too large in the future.”

Those who don’t know the unspoken rules of this world might think that something like that is a side effect. That’s not it.

Noble ladies who meet a lot of people, of course, should wear clothes that can make the best of their clothes.

However, women with overly voluptuous breasts usually don’t look good no matter what they wear.

Why? This is because if clothes are made according to the chest, the waist is wide and looks flat, and if clothes are made according to the waist, the chest is too tight and looks very embarrassing.

Like this, for a noble lady, big breasts are not an advantage, but a disadvantage. So, of course, she thought, Leah von Eleves, who had been educated in the aristocratic way from birth, would reject her studies.

…… Only.

──Poof!

Hearing my words, Lia von Eleves opened her eyes and began rummaging in my arms with her rough hands. I was taken aback by that, and involuntarily grabbed her by the wrist and restrained her.

“Ah, lady. What are you doing?”

“Kain Reinhardt, who has been my escort driver since today. Don’t move even one step from this moment. This is my first order.”

“Yes? What is that, what are you talking about….”

“…… Eight! Why is the escort knight so talkative? Don’t talk nonsense, the potion that makes your breasts grow. Give it to me right now!”

“Uh huh huh? Lady, lady? You can’t do this, you can’t….”

– Knock!

At that moment, the door to the living room was thrown open. Several servants dressed in neat maid uniforms, including the head chamberlain we saw earlier, looked around with urgent faces.

“——Lia-sama! I heard a loud noise from inside, but I’m sure you’re okay… !”

I found Lia von Eleves wandering around with her hand unilaterally in my arms. The expression hardens.

Now then.

In the next seven years, Lia von Eleves will be the greatest villain in the empire.

‘Please, don’t tell me-!’

…… It seemed that she was earnestly appealing to me only with her eyes.
