Reincarnated Villainess Does Not Want Revenge - Chapter 98.1

The Reincarnated Villainess Doesn’t Want Revenge

Even though I tried to explain that it wasn’t that bad and a bit exaggerated, Prince Risel remained unmoved, and suddenly, I found myself being granted a four-day vacation.

After two days, the pain in my cheek subsides completely. But Risel-sama still refuses to give his approval.

Even the doctor assured him that I was fine, but Risel-sama said, “Emotional wounds don’t heal quickly, do they?” and I reluctantly nodded.

Indeed, just thinking about meeting King Gray now makes me tremble a little.

‘It might seem overly protective, though….’

I was embroidering alone in the room that had been set up for me, feeling a bit uncomfortable.

For the Crown Prince’s personal maid, a separate chamber is provided, separate from the palace maids. This is to ensure that they can respond quickly when summoned by the Crown Prince.

Having transitioned from the quarters of the palace maids, the room I currently occupy has become quite familiar to me.

However, since I had too much free time, I asked another maid to bring me an embroidery set just to pass the time.

I’ve been instructed to maintain absolute rest, and with the assailant who attacked me still unidentified, I understood the importance of not recklessly venturing outside. Thus, I’ve been sewing embroidery in my free time, a habit from my time as Rosemary.

‘Though it was speculated that the culprit in the attack belonged to the Queen….’

This, too, gave me a sense of discomfort.

Risel-sama hasn’t publicly declared his affection for me.

If Queen Tia notices my existence, then that means she’s keeping an eye on Risel-sama.

‘Hmm, but I wonder if that’s really the case…’

And how did King Gray become aware of my existence, too?

The King’s faction likely found me to be an obstacle to the engagement with Prince Risel, and they advised King Gray accordingly.

King Gray, in a blunt manner, remained loyal to the counsel of others. A pure and somewhat foolish king who didn’t doubt the words of others.

‘Yet, he never trusted Rosemary….’

Recalling it made me feel gloomy, so I decided to quickly forget about it.

While lost in thought, my hands never stop embroidering. Both Rosemary and I found solace in embroidery when we wanted a moment to think.

I have several handkerchiefs ready. One piece was already completed yesterday. I don’t know if I will be able to give it to Risel-sama, but I sewed his initials on it to give it to him.

And now, I’m sewing embroidery on another handkerchief.

‘It’s probably for the best if I don’t give it, but…’

Even though I believed that I would never give it to the person,

I resumed embroidering.

“Did you really manage to take a break?”

“Yes. Well, I gave it my best at least.”

Risel-sama, who certainly looked much worse for wear, said so and took my hand.

It was the day of the holiday I had promised before. I thought that the promise we had made to go to a lake near the royal palace was lost due to the recent commotion.

However, it seems that today’s plan is still on.

“I’ll get ready as soon as I can. Would you mind waiting for a moment?”

I asked Risel-sama to wait for me in his room, as I needed to change to something suitable for going out.

I hastily put my hair in a braid and opt for some comfortable clothes. After preparing the essentials, I headed to Risel-sama’s room.

“Thank you for waiting.”

I knock twice before softly calling out.

But there was no answer from the other end of the room.

“Risel-sama?”

I knock on the door again. Still no answer.

Feeling a bit concerned, I decided to enter the room with caution. I opened the door, announcing my entrance to avoid being impolite.

“….”

“….”

Risel-sama was dozing off with his arms crossed, still seated in his chair at the desk.

I felt sorry to think that he had been working even in the little free time he had, but I couldn’t resist closely observing Risel-sama’s sleeping face, a sight I rarely witnessed.

With long eyelashes framing his face, the childlike smile that once graced his features was now absent in his serene slumber, making him look like a different person. The sensation of encountering his entirely different look made my heart race wildly.

I entered the room slowly so as not to wake him up, but Risel-sama noticed even that small noise and slowly opened his eyes.

“Hng… I’m sorry, Marie. I showed you a rather pathetic sight, didn’t I?”

“That’s not true… Are you okay? You look extremely tired.”

“Yeah. That’s right… I’m pretty tired.”

“Then…”

I was about to suggest, “If that’s the case, maybe it’s better to rest instead of going out,” but hesitated to continue.

“I’m pretty tired, so how about Marie heal me up for the day?”

He held out his hand to me, outstretched from his chair.

“….. If you want.”

If you’re okay with me, I’d like to heal you as much as I can.
