Before the Decisive Battle
Alone, I prepared everything at the villa to settle things.
Using Kim as my ally, I decided to guide those two to this villa.
Originally, I wanted to handle everything alone.
But, I couldn't handle everything by myself.
I had planned to have a discussion here.
"Madam, are you really sure about this?"
"Yes."
Waiting at the villa was one of Kim's subordinates.
She had been supporting me from behind since the day I chose today as the day of execution.
"Though it may be rude to say, insulting Madam and disrespecting Mr. Diaz to this extent..."
I had a communication device installed in the carriage as well.
The conversation those two were having was unacceptable.
"I understand."
"It's hard to believe that we could have a sensible conversation with those idiots."
"I don't mind if the conversation doesn't get through. I never wanted a sensible discussion from the start."
What I want is not negotiation.
It's the complete expulsion of those two.
To cut off all ties with them in the social circle.
To stay away from the Capital, and I have a certain purpose.
"If possible, I want to cut ties without ever getting involved with them again. But if not..."
I hope it doesn't come to the worst-case scenario.
"I'll do the worst... but"
"Yes."
"If it comes to the worst, stop me. Stop me from going beyond what I shouldn't as a person."
"Madam... You're not doing something wrong as a person. And it's a judgment of a mother."
"Thank you..."
For the sake of my beloved son, I tried to steel my heart.
At that moment.
"Marie! Come out!"
"We've come all the way here, so come out quickly!"
Voices were heard from the front door.
I had already heard voices making a commotion outside.
"What's going on? Who are those people?"
"What do they think this place is?"
"Noble district's villa area? Did they come from the countryside?"
"Why did the gatekeeper let them through?"
Even lower-ranking nobles come in and out of this villa district.
Nobles with a reputation in society own villas here, and merchants are allowed in with permission.
Creating a scene here means exposing their own shame to those around.
"Hey! Come out already!"
"Marie, who do you think you are! We've come all this way for you!"
Trying to leave, I had somewhat anticipated the insults from the two.
"Keep the window open... so that the voices inside can be heard."
"Understood."
"Use the communication device to tell Kim to wait in the garden. Contact the lawyer too; make sure he hears the audio."
All preparations were in place.
Facing the mirror, I vowed to become the villain of a lifetime.
