A young girl in a village without protection - Chapter 17

Translator: Darling | Editor: Coming soon…

The dress prepared by the Royal Lady was a lovely baby blue and pink dress. Her hair was done up in a half updo and small blue flowers were secured in her hair.

She was dressed beautifully but………Selesina was completely silent.

“If you don’t like it then I can prepare another dress.”

“Ah, no. I’m surprised that it’s so pretty. Thank you for helping me prepare this.”

“Your satisfaction is the most important. Well then please excuse us.”

After the maids bowed and left, Selesina let out a huge sigh.

“It’s impossible ohhhhhhhhh, ahhhhh…………”

What’s impossible? It was the dress prepared for Selesina.

It’s not that it isn’t trendy or pretty it’s not even like the size doesn’t fit. In fact, since Soratek had it prepared, it was a top-quality dress.

Not only does it look good, but it was also very good quality, very nice to the touch. It was high-quality silk. The material seems to wrap around her body snugly without a need for a corset.

“This is the dress that the Heroine changes into !!”

That right.

This is the dress that the heroine changes into once the villainess spills wine on her in the game.

There is no mistake since I’ve played it several times.

‘No way……….’

Why am I, the villainess, wearing this dress?

Besides, what exactly is the heroine changing into?

“I don’t understand………”

Come to think of it, she must go to Soratek since she had finished changing.

Soratek might be bad mouthed if he is completely absent from the evening party.

Re-entering the party after changing will garner her more attention, she really doesn’t like it……….but she had no choice.

“Once I survive, I can visit the village once again…….let’s do our best for a little while more.”

Better yet, Soratek should escort Meria from here on, she was thinking about insane things.

No, that was the actual case in the game.

When she was thinking of various things, there was a knock on the door.

Soratek entered the room. He must’ve heard from the maid that the preparations were complete.

“Are you okay? Sele?”

“I’m sorry for the inconvenience Lord Soratek. I’m ready.”

Since I was the one that intentionally spilled the wine, I was certainly alright.

“In that case let’s return. Let’s show our faces for a bit and leave quickly.”

“Thank you.”

Once Soratek and Selesina returned back to the banquet hall, they found that Meria was already there after changing her clothes.

The surroundings were buzzing but no one said anything about Selesina changing her clothes. In Meria’s case, very few people would have noticed that she had changed her clothes.

“Lord Soratek, Lady Selesina.”

She was smiling and waving towards us. 

“I’m glad that you’re fine.”

 She happily said.

‘No, I was the one that did something……’

“I’m glad that nothing happened to you. It was my carelessness………I’m really sorry.”

“Please don’t apologize, I’m perfectly fine.”

“Thank you Lady Meria.”

Meria was a much better girl than Selesina imagined. Maybe because Soratek was here she was exceptionally nice but she didn’t want to think that the heroine of the game was a bad girl.

The dress that she was wearing was different from the game.

The dress that Meria was actually supposed to change into was currently on Selesina’s body so that much was obvious.

Selesina thought that Meria may be wearing a better quality dress than hers but that wasn’t the case either.

The dress is pink and bright, the lace is also treated but it’s a lower quality dress. Maybe a dress from a previous season.

‘Of course, it’s cute though………’

Perhaps there is a condition to wear this dress. Maybe something like, [The person that Soratek escorts to the guest room] that would make sense.

Meria was taken to the guest room during the game but in this case, it was me.

There was no way to tell if that was the reason but the probability was quite high.

‘If not, this dress wouldn’t come to me.’

Well, there’s no point in thinking about it.

More importantly, she had to now think about a way to bring Meria and Soratek closer in order to avoid the bad end.

Meria mentioned that she wanted to dance with Soratek but since Selesina was with Soratek then, it didn’t really work out.

First Selesina needed to dance with Soratek so that Soratek could then dance with Meria without worrying about social obligations.

Selesina liked Soratek’s manners but she wished that he would not bother with them so much in order to avoid the bad end.

‘It’s alright, I’m prepared to be dumped…….!’

That’s why don’t hold back and pursue the one you like.

“Lord Soratek.”

“Nn? What is it Sele?”

“…………I don’t think that I should say such a thing though…….”

“Hnn?”

“Will you dance with me?”

“—–! Of course, in fact I should be asking you. There is no reason for you to think that you cannot say that. I’m really happy Sele.”

Soratek looked happy as a bowed slightly and held out his hand to Selesina.

“Won’t you dance with me, Sele?”

“I’d be glad to, Lord Soratek.”

I had already requested it but he asked me once again. Upon receiving the escort, Selesina took Soratek’s hand.

She unconsciously looked at Meria and found that her eyes were wide open and her expression was a little distorted.

‘That’s right, she would dislike it since she wanted to dance with Soratek but the villainess is dancing instead………’

Selesina apologized to Meria in her mind and called out to her.

“Lady Meria, please excuse me for a little while.”

“Ah……….yes. Of course Lady Selesina.”

Meria smiled and saw them off. Selesina and Soratek went to the center and started to dance.

While dancing, Selesina looks up at Soratek. He seems really happy. Although he is usually smiling, it seemed sweeter right now…………she thought. 

Soratek was overjoyed to receive an invitation to dance from Selesina so his poker face had collapsed……..but-

‘He must be happy since he can dance with the heroine once this dance is over.’

Selesina thought that he was happy that he would be able to dance with Meria and not really happy about dancing with her.

It was a little sad that Soratek had feelings for Meria but avoiding the bad end was the most important. If the two of them don’t get together, then it not only Soratek and Meria but Selesina would also die.

Listening to the Royal musicians play the melody, Selesina closed her eyes.

Soratek is great at dancing so he would guide her well even if she had her eyes closed. Selesina also remembered the steps perfectly.

Watching Selesina relax and leave her body to him, he smiled kindly.

“Sele, aren’t you tired?”

“………Yes. I’m alright……….It’s just.”

“?”

“I’m really worried since I spilled wine on Lady Meria’s dress. She said she was fine but………”

Maybe she’s really bothered by it and feeling sad.

“That’s why I’d like Lord Soratek to call out to her.”

“Me?”

“Yes. If the prince of the country calls out to her then she should relax. It’s just that I’m really sorry that you have to make it up to her for me…….”

Selesina tells him not to force himself if it’s impossible.

But Soratek immediately replied with, “Leave it to me.”

“I’m Sele’s fiancé so it’s alright. Don’t worry about it. I’ll call out to her once our dance is over.”

“Thank you, Lord Soratek.”

‘With this, Soratek can proudly dance with the heroine!’
