Because She Had A Time Limit, She Became The Villain’s Daughter-in-law

I heard that you had a conversation with the Princess at the masquerade.

Seymour suddenly spoke as I was immersed in other thoughts.

Oh, right. We exchanged a few words.

Did you hear about the divorce law? What do you think?

Good law.

I answered without hesitation. It was because I also thought that my parents, the Count Rostri couple, should have divorced sooner.

Its definitely going to pass.

Anyway, the ending of the original was the passage of the divorce law and the remarriage of the male and female lead. No matter how much I think about it, it was a somewhat bizarre ending by the standards of an ordinary human being.

You are convinced.

Seymour smiled softly. He had a beautiful and radiant smile like a male lead. How excited would Elanie be to see a smile like this, as she was married to the blunt Evan without love? Evan didnt smile like that.

I had never seen him smile really brightly until he revealed his teeth. Even if he smiled, he would smile quietly and tenderly.

So am I.

At that, his eyebrows rose even more, creating a fresh atmosphere.

Im glad that Miss Laria thinks its a good law.

Even so, I thought Id miss Evans smile even more.

Since you came to the southwest, havent you seen me more often than Lord Evan?

It seems so.

You did more with me.

Thats true, too.

Well, Im just saying So, what shall we do next?

As he asked that, Seymour flashed his green eyes and leaned his body towards me before continuing, Actually, there are things that I have been interested in and looked at. There are only three ancient magic items on the continent

Cough, coughcouuughhh.

Although Seymour was all right, he didnt really know how to act in moderation. When he talked too much, I always pretended to be sick and had to cut it off.

Im sorry, Seymour. Im not feeling well, so I guess Ill have to take a breakCough, cough.

AhAre you okay?

No, Im not okay.

After finally kicking Seymour out like that, I sat still and contemplated.

Now everything was ready.

Baron Ravonis mansion was completed, and Marcel, who had been deceived as Baron Ravonis, had also been arranged. I didnt even talk about the new business with Seymour, so I just had to disappear quietly.

The thing I was thinking of was after the imperial banquet two months later. Actually, it wouldnt be a big deal if I disappeared right now though I still wanted to attend the imperial banquet.

If I disappear, Evan and Duke Icard will receive a lot of questions about me at the Imperial Banquet. It may be funny that they stand out, but I did not want to cause such a nuisance. And personally, I wanted to go to the imperial banquet.

Until now, I had never attended an imperial banquet. At the imperial banquet, only adults were allowed to attend.

Since Evan was not an adult, I didnt attend until last year because I couldnt go alone. The imperial banquet hall was so pretty that I wanted to visit it once. Besides, it was because it was very fun to watch the masquerade as well.

Miss Laria.

After sending Seymour away, I was alone in the villa while thinking about various things, when Lisa came in.

Yes, why?

Its nothing, but the dress and ornaments for the imperial banquet two months later.

Lisa, the capable maid, also seemed to have a plan.

I think it would be better to place an order in one of the Capitals dressing rooms, where everyone knows Miss Laria dimensions, and do the final fitting right before the banquet.

Oh, lets do that. Thank you.

If there is a style you prefer this time, can you tell me?

Usually, I used to tell Lisa to take care of all those things. If she asked me in detail, Id normally say, Just something expensive. The most expensive one.

Um, then I think the red color would be better.

However, this was the last one.

Because Evan likes red.

From the moment I possessed until now, it was as if I had actually prepared for the days when I would stand out, but as that day approached, I felt a little nervous. Because of that, I thought of another way that I had thought of a hundred times more It was just telling Duke Icard the truth.

Father, this is actually a world in a book. I possessed the book, so I know the future.

Just thinking about it up to this point made me sigh a bit.

What father has been thinking of is a failure because Princess Elanie and Evan would eventually divorce. The man that Princess Elanie chooses in place of Duke Icard is Baron Litshua, a commoner.

As I continued to brood, I touched my forehead as if there was no answer.

So, will you just give up on saving Lady Matilda and just accept me?

Even if I was Duke Icard, it seemed that I would never accept it.

Ah actually, I secretly cured my disease and I am very healthy now. It goes without saying that I have deceived everyone on a huge scale. It was all my great scam!

There was nothing more to think about.

There was no way I could say such a thing. Wasnt it a relationship that was built up with lies from the beginning? I had never been as nice and docile as they think.

In the end, there was only one way.

Lets push forward as we first thought.

Lets live quietly and change only the death to missing. Lets not go on an adventure that risked lives for nothing

Miss Laria.

Serena also knew that the D-Day was coming. Coming to my room in the name of medical treatment, she carefully spoke her words.

Its about time. I have consistently told Duke Icard that Miss Larias time would be now. Just as Miss Laria told me.

What did father say when you report like that?

He didnt say anything.

That point was quite surprising.

It was because I knew Duke Icard could secretly say to Serena, Dont treat her too aggressively.

Well, I guess he didnt add it because Serena said I was going to die anyway.

In the end, it was true that I was sitting on the sidelines of my death.

If Duke Icard had honestly told me, The truth is, you might die soon though I was hiding it, it could have been a different story. Still, to just stand still like this meant that he was waiting for my death in the end.

I am nothing compared to Miss Matilda.

I hated telling Evan everything the truth and antagonizing him with Duke Icard. I didnt want to separate the father and son, who didnt get along very well. However, I didnt want Duke Icard to declare, Lets give up on Matilda.

It will fail anyway though he should try. He prepared so hard.

There was only one step left, and if he gave up without even trying, Duke Icard might regret it for the rest of his life. I didnt want to live in a state of being conscious of that fact.

If Im really sorry I think it would be good to appear around the time Evan was getting divorced by Princess Elanie and snoop around a bit.

It was a choice I really had no pride in, but I didnt consider such a thing in the first place. Anyway, that was something to think about after escaping. So I answered Serena calmly.

Well done. You can say that again when you go up to the Dukes residence this time.

Then When are you going to escape?

Now that I think about it, I saw an opportunity on the way home from the imperial banquet.

Shortly after the imperial banquet, Elanie made her announcement that she would marry, so it meant that I had to run in between.

Im just going to run with the teleportation scroll. If were together, well move together. Otherwise, Ill contact you before that. Serena can go hide first, and then you can follow me to Ravonis mansion.

Now, there was also a teleportation scroll.

Although I could run at any time, I wanted to pick the most appropriate time anyway lay the foundation, and watch for any unexpected circumstances

Something Something is unsettling. Im nervous.

Serena said, taking deep breaths that were unlike her.

Why? It seemed like you were just waiting for the day that we would run, but are you afraid to think about the real thing?

Rather than being afraid

Serena rolled her eyes for a moment, then she spoke slowly.

Its justits been almost seven years, thats not a small amount of time, isnt it? Although I was a fake doctor, there were many pleasant incidents while living in Duchy Icard with Miss Laria

Her voice gradually became shy.

Its just a bit pity that such a life is ending. Either way, we are entering a new phase.

Glancing out the window, I didnt answer her.

Yes, as Serena said, it was probably a pity. At the very least, even to part with Marcel, who at first hated going back and forth, was regretting. Changing what had been seven years was complicated for anyone.

Even though I continued to have a different heart, I had been living in Duchy Icard for seven years. So, it was only natural that it was so complicated.

You can grow up with peace of mind. No matter what happens, I think you will make a choice for Evan in the end.

What suddenly came to mind was Miss Olivias prophecy.

Even hypocrisy often becomes the truth if repeated.

I clearly had everything perfectly prepared, and even though I was confident I wouldnt get caught yet I continued to feel restless.

Two months passed like that.

With a heartbroken heart, I carried the teleportation scroll and went up to the capital.
