Chapter 27

In fact, Erica was the most vicious villainess in this novel. She was also the Crown Prince’s fiancée.

In the original story, she kept harassing the heroine.

For example, removing the safety device to make the heroine fall, buying the heroine as a maid and drowning her in a river, or spreading malicious rumors to the society.

Lucas knew about everything but he chose to stay as a bystander. Thanks to the evil woman’s threat, he had a bigger chance to win the heroine’s heart without using his own hands.

He would rescue a depressed heroine, a drowning heroine, and an ostracized heroine. It would make the heroine completely dependent on him.

Thanks to Erica, Lucas had no reason to bother Claudia.

But in the end, when Erica tried to kill Claudia, Lucas made a move to get rid of that villain.

For some reason, I felt a sense of déjà vu here. Yes, Erica’s case was similar to Martina, who fell in love with Benjamin and became a villainess.

Erica was a character who would be used until her death and would be discarded when she was no longer useful.

However, because the hero was a very malicious guy, I felt sorry for the female antagonist who had to dirty her own hands for him.

Of course, I couldn’t justify Erica’s wrongdoing; but in fact, wasn’t it the Crown Prince who betrayed her first?

As if betraying Erica wasn’t enough, Lucas played with her until the end and killed her. What a cold-blooded psychopath…

‘After all, the real villains were those three lunatics…’

However, if all of those crimes were wrapped up as ‘love’, it was the same as disguising a villain as a hero.

Whenever the event in this novel became reality, I became very skeptical about the genre of the novel I once loved. Why did it turn into a crime thriller?

I secretly observed Erica, who was surrounded by numerous nobles.

For more,

“Use? What do you mean, ‘use’…….”

Claudia was puzzled for a moment, then narrowed her eyes as if she understood me.

She looked displeased and muttered in a slightly subdued voice.

“The Crown Prince, that damn son of a dog.”

I reflexively scanned our surroundings, making sure that we were the only ones who heard.

Actually, I often swore at the three heroes with words like ‘bastard’ or ‘brat’. Yet when those words came out from Claudia’s mouth, somehow my heart ached.

Maybe it was because she was too good at learning those words from Hugo.

Then Felix, who was sitting next to her, softly admonished her.

“Chloe, don’t say bad words like that.”

“Why! What’s so bad? Are you on their side now?”

“The poor dog.”

So it turns out he was on the dog’s side. Claudia and I stared at Felix for a moment without saying a word.
