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

***

And just that, three days have passed since then.

For three days, Evan took a sword class and left the room before I even woke up, and came in only after I fell asleep. I had to say that I rarely see his face.

On the surface, nothing has changed, but strangely, his expression became dark. So, I am determined to have a proper conversation with him tonight.

Hello.

A young woman with red hair drooping down came to my room and greeted me cheerfully.

I am Serena Morristo. Im going to be the doctor for the Little Ladys daily condition from today.

Were going to have a doctors appointment.

My alias is Serena Morristo. Then, youll be able to tell right after you see my name.

Sven youre a good worker.

Thank you, Serena.

Maybe its because of how things are working out, Lisa didnt catch up either. Evan was out for sword training every day, so only Serena and I were in the room.

Serena clung to me and laughed and said in a low voice.

The guild leader asked me specifically. I heard youre a VIP customer, so I should take care of you.

Of course. How much money did I spend there?

Is Serena a real doctor?

No.

Serena blinked proudly.

I dont know much about medicine. Ive seen a few simple books by cramming.

But how did you get through the interview?

The Duke doesnt know much about medicine and I passed a prestigious medical academy diploma, a license, and a mountain of recommendations.

Oh, my.

Of course, its all counterfeit.

I-is that even okay?

Its unusual for our guild leader to move this farbut I really dont think Miss Larias going to be able to help me.

Its not that he likes me, but he must have liked the answer I gave him last time. If he read the board, hed be curious about the situation of Duke Icard, but hed want to use me well instead.

So, what am I supposed to do, Miss Laria?

At the same time, Serena asked in a cute way with her green eyes.

The duke will keep asking about my condition.

Well, thats right. Serena answered ponderously.

For now, there is a condition that no one could know about Miss Larias condition.

It is a natural condition because I had to be on a deadline that no one knew about.

He said hed open my throat if the rumors spread. Oh, Im scaredit didnt sound like a joke at all.

Im sure hes not joking.

What?

His jokes are scarier.

I see.

Serena sighed and continued.

And he said, Dont bother telling her, but go to her regularly and report to me about her condition.

Everything is just as I had expected.

You cant give Duke Icard your heart easily

In the end, Duke Icard was using a doctors note to watch over me, rather than curing my illness.

Oh, hes still asking me to check on Miss Laria and give him the results.

Maybe thats the final interview.

I smiled arm in arm. Go and tell them that I have a rare disease called Garbic lung disease, and Ill be out of this world in six or seven years because of complications.

What?

Its hard to use any medical terms, but Ill try my best. Though adding that is not going to be easy.

Oh, using such a huge lie?

He wont be surprised. And make sure to tell me what his reaction was.

I think the Dukes expected response was, Dont try to fix it, just report the status.

But isnt Miss Laria already sick? Serena tilted her head and asked.

Hmm?

If youre sick, theres no way you can buy a title under a borrowed name, so

Its complicated, but youll get used to it. Dont be surprised if I cough and vomit sometimes.

Then, I really dont have anything to do here, do I? All I have to do is pretend to try.

Yes.

Oh, my God.

Serena clapped her hands as if she liked it so much.

Its a very comfortable mission.

She then smiled and pulled her hair back.

So, Im sure I could have a relationship here, and I see a lot of people who look pretty good.

If you would like.

I answered in a gentle manner but gave a slight look of nervousness because it wasnt what I had expected.

My hobby is dating.

Oh I see.

I realized that she was a pretty sensual beauty. Her clothes were quite colorful to match the large features of her body.

If you have a man you like, please tell me secretly. Ill help you with the secret meeting.

P-pardon?

Thats what my area of expertise is. Its not medicine, its secret meeting. Leave it to me. Serena blinked her eyes.

No, no matter how sneaky you are, I never thought youd add this character.

I-Im married

Its a lie, isnt it?

Serena spoke calmly.

Study shows that aristocrats that have a relationship will cheat on each other. Thats what ninety-nine percent of the social circle says.

Yeah the original story is, in a way, unfortunate. Evan wasnt a good husband, but Elanie was married anyway.

Its a mess. What kind of person is the writer anyway?

The writers pen name was Devil Cat.

No matter how hard I think about it, it was definitely a bit strange, that is so unlikely for its cute pen name.

Of course, none of the readers criticized Elanie because Evan was like a side character, which was no good for her. And such a phenomenon would likely to occur a lot because divorce is not possible under Imperial law.

It should have been kept in mind that this is an entirely different world, not the modern society that I have lived in my past life. So, affairs are different from my common sense, even though my parents would make me marry as much as I dont want to.

Youre always welcome if you have any questions about men. Im a professional on those kinds of topics.

Serena smiled confidently at me.

Sven you got the right person for the job, right?

In any case, I could not move freely, so I felt comfortable in many ways only when I could control the Vestian Information Guild people.

Hey, Serena.

Yes, go ahead.

I have a message for Sven. I said it like a punch.

The last time I walked around the city, I smelled something burning in the building behind the caf.

What? The scent of burning? Behind the caf?

Serenas expression became serious.

Yes. Tell him hed better take a good look.

Oh, yes!

Since we have a good relationship, Im worried that something bad might happen. I made a gentle expression and said softly.

Its a story about Seymour and Sven.

This is also an anecdote between Seymour and Sven, but it should be all right if I borrowed it for a little.

You could just let it go, but theres nothing wrong with being careful. As you can see, Im not free from fate, so each and every one of you is precious.

Oh my Serena gave me a slightly moved look.

Then, it was time for her to smile shyly and hit a decisive hit.

So, it means Sven and Iare very precious to you.

Excuse me, can you put up some captions? Laria (fourteen), sent from another world, excels in her acting, affirmed by the writer.

As expected, Serena answered seriously, holding my hand.

Oh, my thank you so much for your concern.

Svens mother lived in the building behind the caf. And downstairs, a strange wizard who was crazy about experiments recently moved in. Therefore, Serena deserved to make an unusual expression.

In fact, in the original work, a building really exploded because of that wizard.

Sven, who lost his mother to it, was described as briefly lethargic.

Maybe Seymour is going to Sven by now.

So, Seymour, who was in contact with Sven to buy the Hanua estate, suffers a little. But now Seymour will find it easy to purchase land without any problems.

This is well, I didnt mean it, but its gonna be good for Seymour.

She felt bad because he looked like he shared some of Seymours wealth, but she paid off her debt neatly.

Basically, it was right to give a heads-up because it was to save a person, but it was also to show off a little.

Youll soon think of me as a benefactor.

If so, I will do my best even if I have to do more things than necessary. I needed to be firmly intertwined with Sven anyway.

If I can mobilize a guild of information at my disposal, its like giving wings to a person like me.

I am sent here in a very bad condition, a narrow range of fortune, a weak body, and no ability.

So, Surviving with a sense of conscience and impudence!
