The villainess that got pregnant with the crown prince's child decided to run away - Chapter 65

Translator: Darling | Editor: Coming soon…

“Even though you already have Rachel, you’re going to get yourself involved with this woman?!”

“No! That’s not what I’m trying to do!”

It seems like Yuki mistook his intentions for wanting to fool around with his lover.

Even though I’m only being sent to the royal palace to be placed under watch, considering they think I’m a suspicious character.

“Well then, I guess you’re the heroine of the second season then. You’re probably enticing Lord Edward somehow, right?!”

“What?”

Both Lord Edward and I uttered. We were completely dumbfounded by Yuki’s unexpected words.

On the other hand, Julietta felt some strange tension coming from our interactions and just left along with Alexander saying: “well, I’ll come by later again.”

“I heard it from Makoto! I heard that as soon as Rachel gives birth, she would lose consciousness, and then you’ll fall in love with the first woman that comforts you! That’s just so cruel to Rachel!”

Yuki shrieked.

It seems like she was pretty pissed off.

Personally, I felt both a bit troubled and yet a little bit happy for some reason. I had no idea what I could say in this situation, so I tensed up.

I’m sure it’s because as Rachel, I was glad to see how strongly Yuki reacted towards this. But on the other hand, as Lyra, she was also a hindrance. Honestly, I feel pretty conflicted.

“Yuki, I have no idea what you’re talking about. I have absolutely no clue where you’re getting this idea from, but I don’t have that kind of relationship with her.”

Lord Edward declared with a sigh.

However, that didn’t really persuade her.

“And how am I supposed to believe that?! Words don’t mean anything! Besides, isn’t it possible that that would change if she was by your side anyway?! Anyway, you can’t go with her!”

She quickly blurted out.

“I understand what Yuki is saying. I will not go to the royal palace. I will just disappear and never see Lord Edward again.”

After all, I know that the only reason he wants me to go to the royal palace is so that they can keep a watch over me. If that’s the case, there’s no reason for me to go there.”

It’s just that if I was in the royal palace, I wouldn’t have to worry about having a place to stay or food. But that’s a different story.

“I cannot allow that!”

Lord Edward fiercely opposed.

He is probably thinking that he can’t just let a suspicious figure roam around freely.

“…Then, wouldn’t it be fine if you just assigned someone to keep an eye on me? I am, after all, someone from a different country. You’re curious about my background, right? And I’m sure you’re worried that I might be plotting something against you or against your country, or am I wrong?”

“…That’s.”

It seems like he was shocked to know that I was aware of his plan to keep me under watch.

He wasn’t even able to say a word in response.

His current attitude is a bit unfitting for a crown prince, he was giving a potential enemy a chance.

Or so I wanted to say, but perhaps that’s not something I should say right now as I am.

As a crown prince, Lord Edward is perfect.

If necessary, he would be willing to sacrifice anything or anyone he would consider important. He was that kind of person.

And yet, for some reason, instead of just disposing of a potential threat like me, he would rather just keep me in surveillance. 

Even now, he’s still hesitating.

Even though he shouldn’t give someone like me a chance to live.

I have a bad feeling about this.

A very bad feeling.

It’s almost as if he was interested in Lyra and wanted to keep her at his side; he was giving me the impression that he was just using any reason he could think of to do so.
