The Crazy Villainess in This Area Is Me Chapter 54

It was ridiculous. My eyes slowly blinked as I looked at Magorit, who was rushing at me as if she was going to kill me. She might be thinking of squeezing my neck with all her might, but it didn’t hurt me at all. It was thanks to the protective shield I was wearing.

 

What should I do about this? For a moment, I wondered if I should just laugh at her or add more pain to the wound at her neck.

 

Maybe it’s because it’s my second time experiencing this, so I’m not particularly impressed. Mari.

 

Rather, she looked pitiful, trying to kill me with her bloody eyes.

 

It’s still embarrassing though.

 

While Lobelia was thinking like that, embarrassment was spreading across Magorit’s face. Lobelia was too calm to be said to be a person being strangled, and it felt like she was pressing strangling rock rather than a person. She was so embarrassed that her hands began to lose strength.

 

It was then.

 

“Honey… No, Lobelia.”

 

Endimion’s voice was heard from outside the door.

 

“…His Royal Highness has arrived.”

 

Startled, Magorit turned her head. Only then did light return to her eyes as if she had come to her senses. She blinked her eyes rapidly as she found her reason.

 

At that time, the images of the mad and Lobelia overlapped, so she lost her reasoning for a moment. How could she have thought of killing her with her own hands in this mansion where Endimion is present? She thought that she was stressed out due to the various things that had happened recently.

 

“Lobelia?”

 

Magorit gasped wildly, completely loosening the strength of her hand around Lobelia’s neck. But then, her hand was snatched.

 

“You…?”

 

Those were Lobelia’s words, with a sneer on her face, as if she was laughing at her. Why? Isn’t that what you wanted to do and were doing? She suppressed her urge to giggle and continued to squeeze her hand.

 

Frustrated, Magorit tried in a hurry to free Lobelia’s hand. But she was so strong that she couldn’t overcome her strength.

 

“Lobelia. Are you inside?” A voice mixed with wonder continued.

 

Magorit broke into a cold sweat and struggled to get away. But Lobelia didn’t move. She held both of Magorit’s hands together with one hand and struck the table next to her with the other. As a result, the vase on top of it fell.

 

Startled by the strong and sharp clanging sound, Endimion and Frinel opened the door and came inside.

 

“Lobelia!”

 

“Lady Lobelia!”

 

As soon as the door opened, what they saw was Magorit strangling Lobelia with her eyes wide open.

 

“Heuk, he…!”

 

“Lady Lobelia!”

 

Two men approached her at once. Magorit’s hand, which had been bound by Lobelia’s hand, was finally released.

 

Lobelia gasped and walked away from her as if she were afraid. Soon, Frinel was approaching her faster than Endimion. Even though he knew that Lobelia wouldn’t be quietly beaten by Magorit, his eyes were filled with concern as he looked at her.

 

“Are you okay? Huh?

 

“Heuk… Frinel…!”

 

Sobbing desperately, she hugged him tightly. Frinel was slightly surprised by Lobelia’s behavior, but he didn’t show it, just gently brushed her hair away.

 

“That woman suddenly…” Lobelia sobbed in Frinel’s arms, pointing her finger precisely at Magorit.

 

Magorit’s mouth opened as if she were dumbfounded. It was right that she had rushed to her at first. But how could she say that with a nonchalant expression on her face? Moreover, it was Lobelia who held her hand when she tried to release it as she regained her sanity.

 

“N-No…! I…!”

 

The situation took a turn for the worse. But still, if she talked, they would listen. She took one deep breath and then opened her mouth again.

 

“How could you do this to her, Mari?”

 

But before she could say anything, Endimion’s yell came.

 

“Endi…?”

 

Although he was a pathetic husband who always talked like an idiot, he never once shouted at her. Because of his incredibly sweet and kind side, she couldn’t let go of his love even though she knew he was a fool. But now, Endimion was yelling at her. 

 

“How could you raise your voice to me…”

 

“How could I not? No matter how much I…!”

 

His eyes turned to Lobelia, who was crying quietly in Frinel’s arms.

 

Why was he so angry? It didn’t seem like it was just because Magorit was strangling her.

 

“You touched my wife!”

 

“…I’m your wife, Endimion!”

 

“Anyway, this isn’t it. How can you strangle someone!” Endimion shouted at Magorit and then turned around to face Lobelia.

 

“Hiks, huhu…” Her shoulders were still shaking pitifully, and her tears were falling.

 

Seeing her appearance was so different from before, Magorit trembled as if it were absurd.

 

“What on earth happened, huh?”

 

Frinel took a handkerchief from his pocket and gently wiped Lobelia’s tears away. Only then did he stand up as if he had calmed her down little by little. Then he picked up Lobelia in one go and sat her down. Even as she sat there, Lobelia sobbed for a long time as if to pour out what was on her heart.  

 

Looking at her with pitiful eyes, Endimion turned her head toward Magorit. He then spoke in a cold voice she had never heard before. “You, get out.”

 

Her eyes shook violently as if shocked. It was as if he was cutting her heart with a knife, just like when she first found out that she was living with that woman. However, Magorit expertly hid her expression.

 

This was no time to be shocked and panicked. She didn’t know what other lies that whore would tell. If she didn’t leave her seat immediately, it would come back as a bigger storm.

 

She tried to swallow her tears and answered as calmly as possible. “…No, I don’t want to. I need to know what that whore is going to say.”

 

“That whore?”

 

Endimion’s brows crumpled badly. It was the first time she had seen him speak like that and the first time she saw him make an expression like that. Magorit’s shoulders trembled.

 

“I didn’t expect you would use such vulgar language. How can you talk like that when you are a woman too?”

 

“…It’s not like that,”

 

“Enough. I don’t need to hear your story.”

 

“Endi!”

 

It was the moment she tried to refute further.

 

“Huhu, I was just trying to ask…”

 

Just in time, Lobelia’s mouth slowly opened.

 

“Huh?”

 

“I don’t want to think, I don’t want to imagine, but…”

 

Even though she was sobbing, her pronunciation wasn’t messed up at all.

 

Magorit’s facial muscles twitched at the thought. Don’t tell me she’s going to expose it already? If she really wants to bother me, shouldn’t she leave it behind and use it for later? Even as she thought like that, her heart was pounding like crazy.

 

“Yes, tell me. Lobelia.”

 

“That woman…”

 

“Yes, Lobelia.”

 

Endimion nodded, not paying attention to Lobelia calling Magorit as ‘that woman.’

 

“That woman…”

 

“Yes.”

 

Her expression, which had been crying for a long time, soon froze cold. Lobelia slowly rolled her eyes, which were completely dry. The light was lost as if covered by dark clouds, and the blurred gaze was clearly directed at Magorit.

 

Magorit moved to cover her mouth at any moment, raising the corners of her mouth awkwardly. But what was faster than her body was Lobelia’s mouth.

 

“She was abusing my daughter.”

 

“…Now, what?”

 

“That woman is crazy!” Magorit screamed.

 

Endimion couldn’t close his mouth as if he couldn’t believe it.

 

“If you don’t believe it… please call that grandma right now.”

 

“Why did my mother…”

 

“Call her and tell her to at least take a bath with the child.”

 

As she spat out her words fiercely, the corners of her eyes unconsciously got wet. Now wasn’t the moment to cry. The pain her child suffered must have been doubled, and it wracked her heart in pain. Her sorrow filled her throat, but Lobelia mustered up her strength to finish her sentence.

 

“How is… my child’s physical condition?”

 

Gritting her teeth, she glared fiercely at Magorit.

 

“How she was, and what scars she had…!”

 

Before she knew it, the sorrow that had covered her face had disappeared, and all that remained on Lobelia’s face was a murderous look that seemed as if she was going to attack her at any moment.
