Monster Princess

Episode 19

Splash!

Suddenly, Chloe, who lifted the glass brought by the maid, spilled the contents of it onto Judith’s skirt.

“Oh, I thought it was a vacant seat, but who was sitting there?”

She said it as if it was a mistake, but there was no regret at all on Chloe’s face.

Without a doubt, it was a deliberate intent disguised as an accident. As expected, it seems that she went to the seat next to Judith to bother her.

I laughed internally.

‘Oh god. Should I say that she still has a conscience in her own way?’

If she had poured something hot, she would have burned Judith’s skin, but she prepared a cold drink intentionally.

I can’t believe she even cared about the concentration of the drink.…..

Perhaps because she is still young right now, I don’t think she’s evolved into a wicked sub villainess like what I read in the book yet.

I let out a shallow sigh and lowered the teacup I was holding.

In fact, no matter how evil Chloe was, she could be said to be cute at her level.

At Chloe’s level of viciousness, she can be considered as cute.

I was the villainess in「The Shining World of Princess Judith」, and the intensity of Chloe’s harassment of Judith is incomparable to mine.

‘I guess considering my current personality, I wouldn’t do such a petty thing if I wanted to trouble someone.’

I also remembered playing on a fairly large scale in the future.

For example, I gave Judith on her birthday an object with inherent fire magic to burn her palace or make the chandelier above Judith’s head explode at a ball to devastate her surroundings……

Then I suddenly flinched.

‘Hmm… Come to think of it, everything is attempted murder.’

This made me a little upset, thinking that even if I hadn’t used forbidden magic, I would have had no choice but to face a doomed ending with the ‘good-triumphs’-over-evil’ plot.

“Don’t tell me you’re going to attend the hunting festival in such a dirty appearance?”

Chloe hatefully said to Judith.

Her purpose seemed not to simply ruin Judith’s clothes, but to prevent her from attending the hunting festival at all.

“Why are you here in the first place?”

Upon hearing Chloe’s words, Judith’s hand on her lap squeezed tightly.

However, her subsequent voice was calm.

“His Majesty said that all members of the royal family must attend this hunting festival..….”

“So why are you in that ‘all of the royal family’?”

Come to think of it, what was Chloe’s end in [The Shining World of Princess Judith]?

Since Arbella died, did the wicked sub villain also fail?

While tapping the table with the fan I was holding, I opened my mouth.

“Chloe.”

When I called her name, Chloe paused.

She stopped hot-seating Judith and looked back at me.

“This is not your palace.”

I spoke coldly to Chloe, who was raising her voice to the point where the nobles around her looked back.

“If you don’t want to undermine the dignity of the royal family in front of others, be careful.”

Even though I looked down on the other princes and princesses on the inside, I am someone who shows her kindness on the outside.

The only times I acted cold towards them was mainly when I acted outside the palace to match the dignity of the royal family. 

Even if I felt uncomfortable with the works of my siblings inside the palace, I often let it go because I was not interested enough to interfere with them, but it’s a different story outside the palace. 

Until now, I have not allowed anything that would damage the image of the royal family in front of other nobles or other people.

“I’ll be careful.”

Knowing this, Chloe calmly responded with a sharp break in her energy.

After being warned by me, Chloe glanced at Judith once and got up.

In the place where Chloe had left, Vivian, the fifth princess, hesitated and sat down. My other siblings who had been talking about Judith also became quiet.

First Prince Ramiel, who had been observing the situation before, was looking at me with a strange smile.

“Judith.”

I spoke to Judith like that.

“Your clothes got very dirty because of Chloe. It would be hard to attend the hunting festival in that state.”

Then Judith flinched. The other princes and princesses had fishy smiles on their faces. It was clear that they thought I was trying to get rid of Judit here.

“Do you want to go back to the Imperial Castle, or do you still want to attend the hunting festival?”

“I’m…”

Judit hesitated.

I watched her still without urging her.

In a moment, Judit’s eyes changed a little. She seemed to realize that I wasn’t trying to force her, I was really purely asking for her opinion.

“I want to attend the hunting festival.”

Judith answered soon.

“Is there any extra dresses you prepared?”

“No.”

It was a little unexpected. How can you say you want to attend the hunting festival even in a dirty dress?

“Yeah. I want to lend you my clothes, but I don’t think it’ll fit.”

I continued to talk, tapping my other hand with the fan I was holding.

“Chloe will have extra dresses. If you want, borrow it. Chloe also says she’s willing to help you because it happened because of her mistake.”

“Hey!”

Chloe, who had returned to her original seat and had been seated, was surprised and called me.

‘It’s no use looking at me like that.’

As much as I know, Chloe follows me well. I didn’t hate her even though she might be bothering me sometimes. But Chloe was constantly harassing Judith and constantly calling for her own ruin.

Of course, I don’t like Judith either, but it was good to keep the right line for Chloe at this official meeting.

“Judith, of course, you can refuse if you don’t want to.”

Judith was looking at me like she was surprised again.

Her eyes, which had been shaking for a while, soon fell down. Soon, Judith replied calmly.

“Thank you for your consideration, first princess, second princess.”

I turned to Chloe.

Chloe looked at me with sad eyes. But in the end, Chloe, who listened to me all the time, finally ordered the maid.

“Give a dress to Judith.”

Although Judith is shorter than Chloe, the dresses worn at the hunting ground did not cover ankles but were cut near the knees or calves, so it wouldn’t matter much.

When I saw Judith moving with the maid, I also nodded to the maid standing behind me.

“Go and help Judith.”

Then I said to my siblings.

“I want everyone to imitate Chloe. How nice would it be if you’d take the initiative and the responsibility for your own mistakes?”

As if Chloe did well, I patted her arm with my fan.

Chloe had an upset face at first, but having a simple personality, she let go of that expression after receiving my gesture.

After that, it was quite a peaceful time. There was no more noise that I didn’t want to hear, and nothing unpleasant happened in front of my eyes.

“Oh, look over there.”

Then all of a sudden, a raucous reaction erupted from among the princesses. Because they are still young, my younger sisters lacked dignity.

“Wow, it’s Bernhardt’s Little Duke. When did he get here?”

However, as soon as the familiar name came in, I began to understand their reactions.

I inadvertently turned to the place where the princesses’ eyes were directed.

After a while, a boy with a beautiful appearance caught my eye.

The dazzling silver hair blended into the blinding sunlight which penetrates vision. Likewise, the jewel-like purple eyes under white shiny eyelashes were mysterious.

He was a boy who stood out to the extent that it was understandable why the princesses were making a fuss. So……

‘The male protagonist is here.’

I narrowed my eyes as I saw the terribly handsome boy I had seen in the public library not too long ago.

It’s strange, but he’s really handsome. Of course, compared to other princesses and noble young girls, I was insensitive to his appearance.

In the [Shining World of Princess Judith], the heroine and the villainess, me, became enemies but not an antagonistic relationship. I also didn’t like intertwining myself with someone of the opposite sex. To be exact, I was too narcissistic to be interested in men at all.

The fact that I was conscious of the male protagonist, Kylian, was also because he was an obstacle that stood in my way of trampling on Judith. Isn’t that a coherent villain?

In reality, I had no intention of getting involved in any romance between Judith and Kylian in the future.

‘It’s a play of love between a half-sister and a man.’

A common material that appears in all kinds of stories to the point of getting tired of it. It was also the content that was consistently popular with the public, but it was far from my taste no matter where I looked.

At that time, as if feeling the gaze of the princesses, Kylian turned his head. Purple eyes that tickle people for no reason slipped into the seat of the royal family.

I spread out the fan I was holding in my hand. As if I wasn’t looking at him in the first place.
