I Will Avoid the Male Lead and Make a Harem
Vol. 8: Madam Devil
Chapter 10
He went out to the veranda, looking perplexed.
After the sound of my footsteps had gone far away, I opened my eyes.
“My Lady, you’ve been awake all this time, haven’t you?”
“Yeah. Was it very obvious?”
“No, only I would have known. I noticed your toes wiggle.”
Penny laughed.
Her bright appearance perplexed me, as if she didn’t care about what she had done.
Penny had brought me warm milk and honeyed chestnuts, which I accepted.
“It was too reckless.”
Camilla is now determined to kill Penny by any means necessary.
To do so, she’d have to admit that she was harassing me in front of Isaac, but she couldn’t let go of the humiliation.
“I couldn’t help it. I wanted to kill her, but I tried not to. I still feel relieved inside.”
Soon after, Cedric returned from the veranda and expressed his delight at seeing me.
“You’ve come to your senses, Selina.”
“Yes, uncle.”
What an uncle. Just freeze to death!
Penny was more like a family member to me.
Cedric didn’t smoke, but he seemed to have made up his mind as he sat on the veranda, breathing in the cool air.
I guessed what he’d say based on his bitter expression.
“Penny, apologize to the Countess.”
“…… Yes?”
Penny, who was giggling, was taken aback, as if she had been unexpectedly attacked.
“Commander, Madam has been bothering and harassing Lady Selina! It’s a form of abuse! You should take advantage of this opportunity to say something!”
“It’s not the right time yet. Provoking the Countess isn’t a good idea right now.”
“Commander!”
“If that woman brings this back to the fraternity, she can not only take your life but also hold Selina accountable for not properly handling you.”
Penny, who was so proud of herself, looked back embarrassed when I mentioned my name.
‘Poor penny.’
Her trembling gaze was fixed on me.
‘Penny, you chose the wrong person to talk to. You should talk to someone who can understand.’
Cedric will never stand up for me.
‘It’s not the time yet?’
I let out an easy snort.
‘The right moment you speak of will never come.’
Everything was a ruse. Cedric was always a bystander, watching from behind Selina’s back.
Cedric always chose to look, whether Selina was beaten, crying, or in whatever situation she was in.
He has never actively helped or stepped up instead.
“She is still a mother. I have nothing to say if the countess says she must discipline Selina again for this.”
To summarize, he must be out of trouble in order to be involved in his niece’s affairs.
‘Oh, I had no expectations at all.’
There are no expectations and no disappointments.
I tried to solve the puzzle, leaving the befuddled Penny behind.
‘Unless Camilla is a pushover, she will never easily accept the negotiations.’
The precipitation must be laid down.
“Uncle, please negotiate with Mother.”
“Negotiation?”
“Yes. I’ll pretend to be dead for two days without breathing, so make more noise, uncle, and call the funeral home.”
“Wh… What?”
Selina, in fact, was a sunfish that collapsed at the slightest touch.
True, her body was weak, but her mind was a hundred times weaker.
“Mother may want to punish Penny now, but if my condition is serious, she has no choice but to consider the other’s perspective.”
She’d be bothered if she found out I was really dying.
Because she did something.
“On the second day, when I come to my senses, you will say that you will punish Penny yourself, so ask her to hold her account no longer. As we would do the same.”
It meant leaving Penny alone because she was harassing me.
In any case, she did something wrong, and as a result, I, the Crawford family’s sole heir, stopped breathing.
‘How would she react?’
Even the vassals won’t be able to prioritize revenge for Camilla if I start preparing my own ancestral table right away.
My life is, indeed, a weapon!
It’s a weak weapon, but…… I understand how to use this weapon.
“No, My Lady! You absolutely have to get an apology from the Madam!”
“What exactly does that mean?”
I don’t want Camilla’s heartfelt apologies.
I just want her to stand in front of the court and receive her painful punishment, all of her sins exposed.
And I just wanted to get my name out of Cedric Crawford’s indecisive family for good.
