Chapter 121 - Your uncle is part of your ambition?

The tea table was swept over.

The finely set teacups, plates, trays, and all kinds of refreshments were mixed together, falling onto the bushes.

The same was true of us, who hung out holding each other’s hair like lions fighting in the jungle.

“What does the fact that you are dissatisfied with having your mother’s eyes have to do with me?”

“What… What are you saying? Don’t blabber about my mother!”

“You cursed my mother who hasn’t even seen me!”

There was a loud knock.

The sound of several people shouting was also heard at once.

“Madam, madam!”

“Ruby, what the hell is going on? Ruby!”

Even if the door did not open, this was a glass greenhouse, so the inside was clearly visible from the outside.

It was obscured by all the colorful southern fountains and trees. Anyone could see there was a disturbance.

But neither I nor Freya had the time to care about that fact at the moment.

“You don’t deserve it! Everything you were talking and bragging about now was mine! Iz, Ellen, and everyone else has been mine since a long time ago! If only you hadn’t shown up……!”

“It’s not because I showed up, but because you’re like this!”

“Who are you to preach to me? I’m not a servant like you, my mother is different from your mother.….”

“So did your perfect mother teach you to shamelessly tell lies to your friends?”

“Don’t insult my mother with that rotten mouth!”

“You keep talking about my mother, so why wouldn’t I?! And you’re insulting your own mother! Aren’t you sorry? Don’t you feel sorry for your friends? Don’t you feel sorry for Ellen who’s been trusting you for all these years? If you’re not sorry for Ellen, for Iz, for all those people, then you’re a human being who didn’t deserve them in the first place!”

A hand that was pulling at my hair fell off.

At the same time, my hands also went weak.

My thick blonde hair and Freya’s pale, slick blonde hair flew down.

“Ruby! Open this door! Ruby! Frey! Freya Van Furiana! Open this door right now!”

Ellenia’s voice rang loudly.

It was a frightening state.

I was not sure whom she was angry at.

Freya also gasped and stared at my eyes, panting.

Unexpected tears were tearing up in those bitterly distorted purple eyes.

“What are you crying about?”

“I’m not crying.”

“Then stop! What disgusting acting are you going to do again?”

“Shut up! You, what the hell do you know? What do you know about me, how I’ve lived, what do you know with those kinds of eyes!”

“You preached without knowing anything about me first, you have no conscience! What do you know about something horrible that you’ve never experienced, when you’re whining and crying about this little thing?”

“……I, ah, I……!”

“If I were you, I wouldn’t live like that! I don’t know who got me in here, but at least I didn’t do anything horrible to deserve a bad fate! I’ve been trying my best to survive every day, but I haven’t bothered bullied people to get anything like you!”

“Do you think I liked it? I, too, was in a bit of pain when I saw you in the mirror room… Why the heck do you make me this way every time? Why do you think you’re the only one who’s involved in this ridiculous, out of common sense world…… Why does everyone change when you’re involved? Who the hell are you to make me change?….”

Her voice, which had been blazing with excitement, sank low, and tears poured down her face ruined by cream.

It was a scene that I’d never even imagined.

“You planned it with your uncle when you fainted after drinking that magic stone potion in the temple, right?”

Freya, who was sniffing and wiping her face with her sleeve, stared at me again in shock.

I said it half-impulsively, but that was quite a reaction.

“What nonsense is that?”

“You’re going to pretend you don’t know? Do whatever you want. If I look into the Furiana family properly, I’ll see–“

“N-No! You don’t know anything! My uncle, for my own good….”

“You’re amazing. It’s an honour to endure the pain of vomiting to kick me out. Did you want to be a queen so bad?”

“…….”

“It seems that your uncle is part of your ambition, but your parents don’t know anything.”

“…… One accomplishment is more important than a hundred-word plan.”

“So did you think you could achieve it? Does the marquis know that you are plotting treason like this?”

“Don’t exaggerate, are you threatening me?”

“What if I do it?”

“…….”

“Do you want to be a queen or do you have such a lingering affection for my husband? Or is it both?”

“…….”

“Well, you’d better give up anyway. I don’t want you to feel sorry for me, but at least you should feel sorry for your friend.”

“……I, I just want you to…….”

“Don’t you feel really sorry for the fuss you made that day? I feel sorry for your rude younger brother who was beaten by the Marquis without knowing anything.”

Of course, I didn’t have an ounce of pity for the stupid Lorenzo, but I added this anyway.

Freya said nothing more.

She sniffled, looking down.

It was at that time that a loud roar rang out in the ruined garden.

It seemed that someone had just broken the door.

The northerners were tough anyway.

“What the…”

In an instant, people poured in.

It was only for a short time that the noise all around me and my precious garden, once again became a territory of silence.

It wasn’t too much.

Our hair was all messy and it was almost as if we were sitting on the floor, eating food off there.

Torches were held in the hands of the audience.

Fear flashed across the faces of loyal servants.

The elderly butler mumbled something and made a sign, and Andymion, who didn’t know why he was here, was surprised by the mass of flying hair as someone brushed by his shoulder.

Our ice princess looked much more calm.

It was a fierce look that was closer to anger than fear.

“What the hell is going on?”

The spooky tone gave me goosebumps on my forearm.

Freya, whom I thought would pretend to cry, was surprisingly quiet. She might be scared.

I was also a little scared, but I opened my mouth cautiously.

“I fought a little bit….”

“I know.”

“Don’t be mad…….”

“Do I look like I’m not going to get angry right now? Look at your face! Frey, why don’t you answer me?”

Freya, who shrank her shoulders, glared at me through her ugly dishevelled hair.

I also looked at her with blazing eyes.

Our childish behavior, which had not a hint of reflection, naturally made Ellenia more angry, but she spoke gracefully.

“To the house, right now.”

* * *

“Milady!”

Andymion suddenly shouted when I left the house after carefully organizing my appearance under my sister-in-law’s terrifying and stern gaze.

His clear amber eyes filled me with a wonder that I would never understand.

The more I knew this guy, the more extraordinary he was.

I was worried that he might have been scared by the scene earlier because he was quiet, but I was worried about nothing.

“I’m sorry to show you my dirty appearance.”

“What do you mean dirty? It was a little scary, but the more I think about it, the more amazing it is. I didn’t know you had such a spicy side….”

What was he saying?

My face was burning to death.

I didn’t know it’d end like this…….

“F-From my husband and others…….”

“Don’t worry, I’ll be glad to keep it a secret between the two of us.”

“……what exactly is the situation now?”

* * *

The Frost forest, which I was visiting for the second time, was colored with white snow, similar to the last time I saw it.

From the entrance of the forest, not a single common monster was seen as we headed to Rom’s cave, escorted by Andymion and several other paladins.

Were they all hiding?

Entering the boundary, the scene of the black armor-clad paladins closely monitoring the area unfolded.

I was a little embarrassed by the stares from here and there, but I decided not to care because they were natural reactions.

More than that, as I got closer to Rom’s cave, the bizarre noise I was hearing got louder and louder.

[Aooouuuu]

“Aoouw, Aoouw!”

Finally, as soon as I climbed the hillside leading up to the entrance of Rom’s cave, something rolled down in front of my feet with a magnificent roar, and I almost screamed.

Andymion yelled instead of me.

“…Camu, Sir Camu?”
