#120

 

Tendons bulged in his throat as he let out continuous screams of rage. His flushed red face showed just how furious he was.

 

Because of this, no one could easily think of stopping Fillen.

 

That was the same for me as well.

 

Only after throwing more than half of what was on the dining table did Fillen finally seem to calm down.

 

“Si, sly.”

 

Instead, he gritted his teeth and glared at Sisly. At the murderous intent that pierced her skin, Sisly unconsciously stepped back and ended up collapsing.

 

Fillen’s eyes as he looked at such a Sisly were eerie.

 

If looks could kill, they were eyes that seemed like they would have killed Sisly several times over.

 

“How dare you deceive me?”

 

“N-n-no!”

 

To lie until the very end in this situation.

 

Sisly was no ordinary person either.

 

“I, I didn’t deceive you! I really was carrying your child!”

 

Sisly said pitifully while shedding tears profusely.

 

“Fil, think about that night. You held me…! You treated me tenderly, so how can you be swayed by that woman’s lies and suspect me? How…!”

 

The truth had been revealed this far, yet she planned to make excuses until the end.

 

It was terribly ugly. So much so that even her beautiful appearance couldn’t cover it.

 

I thought that since she was the woman he loved, Fillen might be swayed by those ridiculous words, but I was mistaken.

 

“Shut that mouth!”

 

Fillen wasn’t shaken at all. Rather, he became more indignant and threw whatever he could grab toward Sisly.

 

“Kyaah!”

 

Crash!

 

The glass that narrowly missed Sisly hit the wall and shattered into pieces.

 

Shocked by the fact that Fillen had thrown something at her, Sisly couldn’t say anything and just opened and closed her mouth.

 

“I love you? What ridiculous nonsense!”

 

Fillen poured out verbal abuse toward such a Sisly.

 

“The only reason I cherished you was purely because you were carrying my child!”

 

As if she couldn’t believe what Fillen was saying, Sisly’s eyes shook violently.

 

Even in the midst of this, Fillen’s verbal abuse continued.

 

“Know your place, Sisly! Did you think that I, a duke of the great empire, would be sincere toward a mere princess of a fallen kingdom? You don’t know your place.”

 

“Fi, Fil…”

 

“I never promised you anything more than the child’s future.”

 

Those words were probably sincere. Even after bringing Sisly here, he had continued to pursue marriage with me.

 

Fillen, who had been looking at the despairing Sisly with cold eyes, shouted.

 

“Take those bastards to the underground prison immediately! The crime of daring to deceive me, a duke, will be severely punished!”

 

The servants who had been in confusion approached Sisly, Mabel, and Elli to carry out Fillen’s command.

 

Mabel and Elli were dragged away obediently, but Sisly was not.

 

“Let go! How dare you bastards lay hands on my body? Let go immediately!”

 

She struggled uglily as if she still couldn’t give up her lingering attachment.

 

It would have been fine for Sisly to be dragged away like this, but there was still more that needed to be revealed.

 

“Wait a moment. That woman’s crimes are not just this.”

 

I stopped the servants, then picked up a champagne glass and approached Sisly.

 

“Drink it.”

 

And I held out that glass to her.

 

“It’s the champagne you gave me as a gift. Try drinking it.”

 

Sisly’s eyes wavered.

 

I kindly brought the champagne glass to her lips, but Sisly kept her mouth tightly shut and didn’t drink a single drop.

 

“Why are you like this? It’s champagne you gave me, so why won’t you drink it?”

 

“…”

 

“Ah, don’t tell me you did something to this champagne too?”

 

“N-no!”

 

Since staying quiet would mean admitting to the crime, Sisly immediately objected.

 

“I didn’t do anything!”

 

“Then try drinking it.”

 

Sisly tightly shut her mouth again.

 

“You can’t drink it after all, right?”

 

I asked Sisly with a slight laugh.

 

“Because you put poison in this champagne.”

 

“Poison!”

 

Small gasps burst out from around us. I could feel Fillen glaring fiercely from behind.

 

“Another crime has been added.”

 

I put down the champagne glass I was holding.

 

“The crime of attempting to poison me and His Grace the Duke.”

 

Crash, the champagne glass that fell to the floor shattered into pieces with a sharp bursting sound.

 

I raised that hand high, then.

 

Smack-

 

“…!”

 

Just like when I returned to the Williot Duchy, I struck her cheek hard. Sisly’s pale white cheek reddened and her head turned helplessly.

 

“This is payback for what I was hit with before.”

 

“You…!”

 

Sisly was furious, but I didn’t care and struck her cheek again with another smack.

 

“This is payback for toying with me.”

 

The people who had been staying still at first, feeling like there was justification since I had been wronged, all looked at me in surprise.

 

But no one came to stop me. Even Fillen stayed still.

 

“Let go, let go!”

 

Moreover, the servants holding Sisly actively helped me.

 

No matter how much Sisly acted up, they held her firmly, so I could vent my anger as I wanted.

 

Though this would be the last time anyway.

 

“And this.”

 

This time, instead of simply striking her cheek with my palm, I punched Sisly’s cheek with my fist.

 

“Ahhh!”

 

“…This is revenge for Misa.”

 

My fist stung. But something like this was nothing at all.

 

If I thought of dead Misa.

 

Just this much didn’t completely resolve the resentment in my heart, but it was the best I could do right now.

 

After Sisly was dragged away too, a heavy silence flowed through the dining hall.

 

Fillen made a very complicated expression and held his head with his hand. As if he didn’t even have the strength to stand on his two legs, he was supporting himself against the dining table with his other hand.

 

‘Of course he would be like that.’

 

The things he had believed in had crumbled overnight, so there was no way he could be fine.

 

As much as he had desperately wanted a child, he would feel more empty, disappointed, and angry.

 

However, I had no intention of comforting him. Everything was his own doing. He was simply reaping what he had sown.

 

“Leilah.”

 

As I was about to leave the dining hall, Fillen called me.

 

I tried to ignore him and just go, but I couldn’t because Fillen grabbed my arm.

 

I had no choice but to turn back to look at him.

 

Fillen was looking at me with a very complicated face. His eyes, which held a complex mix of anger, resentment, and all sorts of emotions, trembled.

 

Fillen hesitated for a long time before slowly opening his mouth.

 

“I’m… sorry.”

 

“What is it?”

 

Even to my own ears, my voice sounded cold. Fillen flinched and then carefully continued speaking.

 

“Everything. I’m sorry for not trusting you and treating you harshly, and for believing that woman’s words.”

 

“When did you become so certain I was the culprit, and only now you choose to believe me?”

 

Of course it was natural now that such clear evidence had emerged, but it was still ridiculous.

 

They say the human heart is deceitful, and those words were exactly right. The previous Duke Williot wasn’t like this, so why was Fillen, his bloodline, in such a state?

 

“Leilah, as you know, all the circumstances pointed so clearly to you being the culprit. So I had no choice but to believe you were the perpetrator.”

 

“His Majesty the Emperor knows the same story. Yet he believed I wasn’t the culprit. He said I was clearly trapped.”

 

Fillen’s expression completely crumbled. His hand gripping my arm tightened with force.

 

“Are you comparing that man to me right now?”

 

Is that what he’s angry about? And that man?

 

“It’s not ‘that man’ but His Majesty the Emperor. Watch your words.”

 

“You keep taking that man’s side.”

 

“We can’t communicate.”

 

It was a fact I already knew well, but realizing it anew made me sigh involuntarily.

 

“Let me go.”

 

“Leilah.”

 

“I said let me go. And stop calling me Leilah. I’m no longer your fiancée.”

 

When I glared fiercely and spoke through gritted teeth, Fillen looked at me as if deeply shocked.

 

“…You’ve changed a lot. You weren’t like this before…”

 

“You’re the one who made me this way, Your Grace.”

 

I shook off Fillen’s hand, left the dining hall, and commanded Nes.

 

“Nes, bring all the idle servants to my room right now.”

 

“What? All of them?”

 

“Yes.”

 

I was planning to execute my final plan from now on.

 

Shortly after, when Nes brought the servants, I pointed to the room.

 

“Take everything in my room to the backyard.”

 

“What? Everything?”

 

“Yes, everything. Don’t leave out even the furniture, take it all.”

 

The servants moved as I instructed, though bewildered.

 

About an hour later, the room was empty and items were piled like a mountain in the backyard.

 

“Now bring baskets full of water.”

 

Since there was a well right behind, fetching water didn’t take much time.

 

When enough water baskets were stacked as I wanted, I took a deep breath and exhaled, then pulled out the flint I had set aside.

 

‘This is really the end now.’

 

Once I finish this, it will truly be over.

 

I struck sparks with the flint and lit a torch.

 

Nes watched me with wide eyes.

 

“Surely, Miss…”

 

Before Nes could finish speaking, I threw the torch toward the mountain of piled items.

 

Whoosh-

 

“Kyaah!”

 

“Ahhh!”

 

As flames burst up, the servants screamed and stepped back in terror.

 

Meanwhile, I continued standing there, watching the items gradually turn black as they burned.

 

Since most were wood and cloth, the fire spread quickly. Soon everything began burning to a charcoal black.

 

“Miss, what is this…!”

 

Nes screamed in horror.

 

“Miss!”

 

Other servants also called out to me in surprise, but I didn’t respond and just stared at the flames flickering their bright red tongues.

 

“What the hell are you doing!”

 

When the flames had almost consumed all the items, I heard Fillen’s fierce voice from behind.

 

“Put out the fire immediately. Immediately!”

 

At Fillen’s shout, the servants who had been standing dazed began moving frantically.

 

They poured the pre-drawn water on the fire. The flames quickly subsided, revealing partially burned cloth and wood pieces in a blackened state.

 

Ah, just a little more and it would have been done. I felt disappointed.

 

“What are you doing, Leilah?”

 

Fillen strode up behind me, grabbed my shoulders, forcibly turned me around, and asked.

 

“Are you planning to burn down the whole house because you’re angry?!”

 

“Of course not. If that was my intention, I would have set fire directly to the house, not the items.”

 

“Leilah!”

 

“Your Grace seems unable to let go of your attachment to me, so I wanted to help you cut it off decisively this time.”

 

That’s why I burned everything that was in my room.

 

If I told you to throw them away, you’d surely not discard them but stuff them in a warehouse instead.

 

The fact that Fillen was carefully preserving my belongings was disgustingly revolting.

 

I wanted to sever all remaining connections with him at this opportunity.

 

My words must have been quite shocking, as Fillen opened his eyes wide and gaped like a fish.

 

I gently pushed such Fillen away, stepped back several paces to create distance, and asked.

 

“Do you remember the bet you made with me before, Your Grace?”

 

“The… bet?”

 

Judging by his response, fortunately he still had his wits about him.

 

“Yes. You promised to grant my wish if I passed the management exam.”

 

“…”

 

“I want to use that wish here.”

 

Since it was a notarized wish, he had no choice but to grant it even if he didn’t want to.

 

If I had known I’d use it like this, I should have used it long ago.

 

By pointlessly holding back and not using it, only more strange things happened.

 

“Duke Fillen Williot.”

 

I looked straight at Fillen, who was staring at me with a face that looked ready to collapse, and continued speaking.

 

“Please disappear completely from my life.”
