Time passed, and the appointed time arrived.

「Will you give me an answer?」

Viscountess Bolellan, with a smile plastered on her face, was accompanied by a group of men who, unlike in the daytime, had no physiognomy behind them. This includes the man who was so insubordinate to Rio. Perhaps this is to put pressure on me.

To not disobey her. To do what she say.

「Yes, Miss Bauer and I have had a lot of conversations and I have come to a decision.」

But I’m not one to be intimidated by such things. But it must be a little too much for Countess Bauer. She looked a little stiff as she clutched the water bag that contained the Lanka water tightly in both hands.

「But first, I’d like to talk to you. I have a lot of questions I’d like to ask you.」

「Well, I’m glad to hear it. But it’s a good time. Let’s talk and enjoy the meal just as we did at lunch.」

No, no, thank you. I smiled, holding back the urge to say so.

「I am sorry, although that is a lovely offer. I’m a little tired and physically challenged, and I can’t bring myself to say anything. I hope you understand.」

“Keep your eyes down and be quiet. I’m worn out. I’m not going to resist,” she appealed.

「…Well, that’s true. It’s a situation like this. It’s no wonder your body screams. I’m sorry I didn’t give it more thought.」

Who created this situation? No, she is as thick-skinned as Brace.

「No, I’m glad you understand.」

「Ohhh. It’s not a matter of course. Because Miss Gracis will be my precious partner.」

“Ufufu,” Viscountess Bollelan, who makes a laughing sound, continues to imitate the Royal Princess as usual. I thought it was hilarious, but now I’m somewhat fearless. And it’s a line that shows that she doesn’t have the slightest idea that I would turn her down.

「Then let’s talk over there. Can we at least have some tea?」

「…I appreciate your concern.」

「Oh, I see. That’s unfortunate.」

With that said, we sat down on the couch and only one man stood behind Viscountess Bolellan. The other men scattered around the room, which seemed to encircle us.

At that point, the defiant man whose eyes met mine grinned at me for a moment with a sickening grin, and a freezing chill came over me. What a creepy guy.

「So what is it that you would like to ask me? Please feel free to ask. It is important to deepen mutual understanding. I will answer anything.」

「Then I’ll take your word for it.」

I wonder how much longer she will be able to afford it. What I am about to tell her is something she didn’t expect.

「Have you ever seen two rainbows, Viscountess Bolellan? It’s called a Double Rainbow.」

I told her this story when I was forced to go out with Ryniel-sama.

「I don’t know. What in the world is that?」

Such a reaction is to be expected. Or rather, it is rather natural. You don’t know what I mean by what you asked, do you? But it makes proper sense.

「The double rainbow, when witnessed, is a sign of good luck,『wishes come true,』『blessings,』『new start,』『life turns around,』don’t you think it’s perfect for us?」

“You want it, don’t you?” When I asked this question, Viscountess Bolellan’s disinterest turned around and she broke into a happy smile.

「Weeeelll!! How lovely. Miss Gracis is right, it’s perfect for us.」

「That’s right. By exposing the infidelity of the Princess and my fiancée, your『wish will come true』and you will be able to『start a new life』and『turn your life around』and have a『blessed』future.」

「How appropriate for me. What a wonderful story, Marsha-san.」

I’m sure you’re right. But you know what?

「However, it is said to be very difficult to see. It’s a very rare phenomenon, and only occurs under special conditions. Unfortunately, I think the chances of us witnessing it are very small.」

Originally, as noblewomen, we spend most of our time indoors. And there are two rainbows, which are sometimes seen after a lot of rain. The chances of seeing them are even lower.

「…Am I wrong? I sense an undertone.」

「You’re not mistaken.」

I planted plenty of inclusions. I wondered if she would notice it, but I’m glad she did.

「What does that mean?」

Viscountess Bolellan asks, fan open and mouth covered.

「Stay tuned. Miss Bolellan…, your wish will only succeed under special conditions. But I tell you that those conditions will never be met and that you will never get what you want.」

「…!」

The expression on Viscountess Bolellan’s face instantly becomes cloudy.

「That’s your way of saying you refuse to come with me.」

「Yes. I will not nod my head, especially if you have me under your own special conditions. I decline.」

With that, Viscountess Bolellan swung her fan and threw it at Countess Bauer.

「Kyaah!」

The fan hit Countess Bauer’s shoulder as she hurriedly tried to avoid it, and she let out a small moan.

「Riffy! I ordered you to persuade her. Why haven’t you been able to!!!!」

Countess Bauer glared at Viscountess Bollelan, who screamed with a screeching voice. 𝑏𝘦𝘥𝑛𝘰𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝑐𝘰𝑚

「Huh, what’s that look? Are you trying to turn the tables on me? Do you know what will happen…」

She probably didn’t like her attitude. With anger seeping through her body, Viscountess Bolellan signaled to the man behind her with just her eyes. The man smirks and steps forward.

「I can let this man attack you. You know. You know what happened to the maid in the Royal Princess’s Palace? I told you so, didn’t I? If you don’t want the same thing to happen to you, you must obey my orders.」

「…Hiie!」

I sheltered Countess Bauer, who let out a small scream, on my back to hide her from the man.

「Why are you so unreasonable… You are so useless.」

“Don’t screw with me!” To Viscountess Bolellan, who spat this out. She managed to swallow the angry shout that went up to her throat.

「It was you… Viscountess Bolellan who had that woman attacked in the half-basement, isn’t it?」

A seething anger fills my body.

「Fufu, correct. Because she was so bothered that she was doing it for Priscilla-sama. She even hit me when she found out I was just using her…. She deserved it.」

「What do you think is the dignity of a woman…?! If you were a woman, you would understand!」

Don’t tell me you don’t know how hard that is.

「Yes. I felt so sorry for her. She was crying and desperately trying to escape. Fufufu, that was so ugly. How nice of a feeling that was… Ah.」

The expression on Viscountess Bolellan’s face when she said this can be summed up in one word: ecstasy. That’s exactly what she looked like. A chill runs down my back.

「Ufufu, and I heard. She’s dead, isn’t she? I wonder if you guys are going the same way. But it can’t be helped, can it? It was you who wanted it.」

I snickered at Viscountess Bolellan, who was proud of her victory and happily said so.

「She’s dead? Who told you that?」

「This guy confirmed it. It seems she died in her sleep. I heard that Miss Gracis was taking care of her. It’s a pity, though. All your kindness was in vain.」

A cackling sneer. Did she think I would be disheartened to hear that? But unfortunately, it is Viscountess Bolellan who’s going to be disappointed.

「That girl would’ve been protected by the Knights and resuscitated. She’s not dead. I just made it look like she was dead.」

「Well, tell me a lie. How is that possible?」

「I can do it. All I have to do is give her a drug that puts her in a temporary state of suspended animation.」

My confident attitude stopped Viscountess Bolellan’s sneers.

「By now, she may have regained consciousness and be being interviewed by the Knights. I am sorry for your loss.」

It’s a shame. Now you’ve lost everything you had planned.
