TVTLQ - Chapter 89
The Villainess Wants To Live Quietly
At that moment, Calix felt immense joy. Rosenia also had the same feelings as him.
Is it really a destiny given by heaven?
The fact that the other person confessed to him as soon as he realized his feelings was something that could not have easily happened without great luck.
But at the same time, Calix felt embarrassed.
'Dominic Willock could no longer exist.'
Using the development of Dostic as a weapon, Rexed ordered Calix to stop living a double life.
This is because Calix agreed and decided to follow his words.
The reason he decided to meet Rosenia was to terminate the contract.
So, he should have politely rejected her confession and asked for the contract to be terminated...
Pak!
Calix's sword was stuck in the ground.
He covered his eyes with his right hand.
"Ha."
He just said he was sorry and left.
Calix thought that if he opened his mouth, a joyful answer would come out.
Yes. He feel like he wants to hug and kiss her right now.
Even if he confessed first, it wouldn't be enough, so he runs away leaving behind the woman who confessed courageously first.
That was a very unmanly and ungentlemanly act.
"Why am I doing this?"
If it had been Calix before, he would have casually taken advantage of the situation where Rosenia confessed.
He would have cut the other person's heart to pieces with the harshest words possible. Because it is easy for those who are hurt and shocked to be taken over.
But Calix couldn't do that.
Rosenia, who says she likes him, is so lovely. He's so thankful and precious for that affection.
He couldn't bear to destroy the affection she showed him with his own hands.
"But I didn't mean to run away like that."
Calix muttered as he washed his face dry.
This approach doesn't solve anything. He just avoided the problem in the most unsightly way.
It was a time when he was suffering from a sense of self-destruction.
"Duke! You are here!"
The knight guarding Dominic Willock's disguised residence arrived at the training ground in search of Calix.
He was shocked for a moment when he saw his fellow knights lying around from exhaustion, but he headed straight to Calix.
Calix slowly lowered the palm that was covering his face.
"What's going on?"
"Duke, she has arrived!"
For a moment, Calix's eyes wavered.
It's because he heard unexpected news.
"Lady Rosenia came there?"
"Yes! He came to see the Duke. First of all, we said you went out early in the morning, but she's still waiting to see if she plans to go back after seeing the Duke."
A groundbreaking ceremony will be held in Dostic today. Rosenia, the main character of the event, should have been there being celebrated.
However, when Rosenia was enjoying the festive atmosphere, she visited 'Dominic's' residence.
That meant only one thing.
She is trying to see the conclusion of what happened yesterday.
"Haha...."
Calix laughed helplessly.
Although he was just digging a tunnel, she was moving forward without hesitation.
Once she has something she's aiming for, she doesn't hesitate to get it.
As expected, she was like the woman he had fallen in love with.
And Rosenia's actions finally allowed Calix to make a decision.
"If she's waiting, we should go."
Calix decided to do something and took a step forward.
***
When Calix arrived at the inn, it was already getting dark. He had already transformed into Dominic.
It was only natural that it could not be revealed that Calix and Dominic were the same person.
Today will probably be the last time Calix sees her like this.
However, when he arrived at the inn, he was not willing to go inside.
Even though he has made up his mind and made a decision several times, it is not easy to actually take action.
In that sense, what a courageous and strong person Rosenia is.
Calix hesitated.
Then the door of the inn, which had been tightly closed, burst open.
"Mr. Dominic!"
It was Rosenia he wanted to see.
She was wearing a neat formal dress today.
The indigo dress wasn't flashy, but it was classy, and above all, it made her look even more capable. Of course, Rosenia is a great person who can be trusted and followed even if she is wearing a piece of clothing that someone else has discarded.
“hahaha.”
Rosenia, who was smiling brightly as if she was happy to see Dominic, soon rubbed her cheek in embarrassment.
She opened her mouth a little awkwardly.
"Have you been there?"
"Good evening, Vice President."
Calix greeted naturally so as not to embarrass the other person.
The smiling face was a little awkward, but at least it wasn't something he said to avoid the situation like yesterday.
Rosenia must have felt that too, as she seemed relieved.
Rosenia said.
"I'm sorry for coming to you so suddenly. Are you surprised? Today is the day when Dostic construction begins again, but you didn't come to the top again... Yesterday..."
However, she could not easily form words.
Well, the person she confessed to left the situation without saying anything other than sorry and mentioning this easily would have been difficult without being quite shameless.
Feeling sorry, Calix gently suggested.
"It's getting cold. Shall we go inside first?"
Rosenia, startled, opened her eyes wide and immediately nodded.
Calix led her to Dominic's room on the second floor of the inn.
Although it was a fake lodging that was never actually used, there was a smokescreen room built in case Rosenia came to visit.
"Excuse me."
Rosenia carefully followed him into the room.
Dominic's room was neatly organized as if it reflected his neat personality. However, since no one was actually using it, it felt a little desolate.
Rosenia hesitated awkwardly, so Calix took out a chair near the desk for her.
"Please sit over here."
"Thank you."
Rosenia sat on the chair and Calix sat on the bedside.
It was nice to bring her into the room out of curiosity, but when they actually met face to face, there was silence.
Has he ever been this nervous in his life?
In the end, it was Rosenia who broke the silence.
"It looks like you've been far away. You look a little tired."
"Ah yes. It just so happened."
Calix answered shyly.
Since he had been catching useless knights since the morning, it was only natural that he would have an impact.
Calix hurriedly washed up and came out thinking he was going to see Rosenia, but it seemed he couldn't even hide his appearance.
He turned his horse around.
"I knew that Dostic development would start again today... I'm sorry I couldn't visit you."
"The groundbreaking ceremony was held. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally sent manpower and materials. It's something I'm grateful for. Construction was suddenly halted and public sentiment was uneasy, but they paid it back with more than that."
The groundbreaking ceremony that took place today was actually something that Calix requested from Rexed.
When Calix reached an agreement with Rexed, he made various demands even though it was about correcting his own mistakes.
Asking to hold a groundbreaking ceremony or to deploy a guard.
They were saying that he would send his favorite official these days to let them know that the Crown Prince was very interested in this project.
'If the development of Dostic succeeds, it won't be bad for you either. You've already decided to show mercy, so please show me just a little more.'
'This kid is really... Do you have a conscience?'
'I'll hand over the business rights you once coveted.'
'.....Don't say anything else later? And you pay all the costs!"
It was a shame that he couldn't tell Rosenia about his achievements, but it still felt rewarding because the other person liked him.
Calix said calmly.
"It seems that Dostic has only success in the future since His Highness the Crown Prince has paid so much attention to it."
"That's right. Dostic will definitely be bigger than it is now. And it takes a lot of people to do that."
Rosenia lowered her eyes for a moment and then looked at him.
"Mr. Dominic."
"Yes."
"Maybe my confession was burdensome?"
