The Villainess Lives Twice

[.]com

When she shows it to the priest, she has pressed the other decorations first so that the pattern changes safely.

Instead, if anyone just pressed one of the decorations that Artizea had taught, the stinger was supposed to pop out.
It was thin and short like iron hair, and it was like a thorn that was difficult to find even if it was stuck in the hand.

If he is lucky, he will survive.
If he believes that Cedric will deal with this properly and forget about today, the priest can live.

If he puts the seal deep in the drawer and never takes it out, nothing will happen.

However…

‘Maybe, you’ll not survive.’

Artizea thought so.

The priest will surely try to contact her.
It was a matter of faith.

It is difficult to believe even if he swears to keep a secret, but he was the one who had contacted Artizea because he zealously thought that he had to inform her of this fact even in difficult circumstances.

He will surely try to inform the Temple about the Karam crop.
He will eventually die.
What’s the point of leaving a ray of possibility of survival?

‘Because it’ll become an alibi.’

Artizea thought of an excuse.

At the moment the priest dies, she herself will be in the capital.
No one can connect her with that death.

Actually, it didn’t mean much.

This poison barely leaves any trace.
If they performed an autopsy, it will just determine the cause, which is poisoning.

However, there is no one who will do so just because a single priest died suddenly here.

So anyway, this was all Artizea could do for her own emotional comfort.

It was like relieving guilt and pushing responsibility to the victim, saying that it wasn’t her responsibility they died, but their fault.

“Thank you very much for your consideration.
I’ve been thinking for a long time whether or not I should talk to you, but I think I did the right thing.”

The priest said with a somewhat relaxed face.

“Believe in His Grace and wait.
I hope that the priest will keep the faith in people as much as the faith in God.”

Artizea said so.

Then she put a pretty thick letter from the priest in her bag and came out again.

“Go in, Priest.”

“Thank you, Your Grace.”

The priest bent down to his waist and bowed deeply.

Artizea turned around.

She suddenly remembered what Cedric said.

[When we go together, we will be able to find the right way.]

When he said that, what would be the right path he was drawing in his mind?

She guessed it vaguely.

Moreover, Artizea knew that he didn’t seem to be able to go to the capital with her.

‘I have to go back to the capital.’

She thought blankly.

Anything like a person’s life can be used as a chess piece, a pocket of gold coins or a place where a plot is made can be used to take one step closer to the throne.

That is where she will be.

In the capital, she doesn’t have to feel this hesitation anymore.
In a one-eyed world, only the one-eyed is normal.
Her ugliness will also blend in among the countless despicable ones.

Rather, she hoped so.

The first thing Artizea did when she returned was to take the priest’s letter out of her handbag and read it.

There was little to keep in mind.

There was a story about the fact that some of the Evron Grand Duchy’s vassals had attempted to grow Karam crops using the residents and the fact that a Karam mixed blood was living there.

The priest added his usual thoughts to the end.

[There are many people here who are pure and sincere, but far from the Word of God.
The vassals of the Grand Duchy are also loyal and courageous, but they don’t seem to know what’s important.

The Grand Duke has been away many times, so there are many places where his eyes cannot reach.

Not a few of the people here sympathize with the devil’s seed.
Sometimes it is mixed with ugly and dirty blood, and excommunication alone is not a sufficient punishment.

There are not enough temples in Evron Grand Duchy.
That is why people are wandering even more without knowing the right path.

In order to take this situation into account at the Great Temple, please send several priests to discipline the people and teach the doctrine to knights and officials…]

Artizea read through and threw the letter into the fireplace.
The letter burned in the fire in a flash.

She picked up the fire poker and meticulously scattered the ashes.
It was a habit.

Perhaps there is no one in the stronghold who could pick up the remaining pieces of paper from the fireplace and match the letter.
If there was such a person, she wanted to recruit them.

Knock, knock.

There was a knock at the door.

“Come in.”

Artizea replied plainly.
She had called Alice, so naturally she thought Alice had come.

However, the door did not open right away.
Artizea wondered and stood up.

When the maids knock, they will say ‘it’s Alice’, but she can’t hear them say anything.

Is it someone else?

“Ah.
“

The door opened before she opened it.

Artizea was startled and almost jumped.
Cedric was smiling with an awkward expression across the door.

As if he had just come from the outside, his cheeks, struck by the cold wind, turned apple-colored.
