TVTLQ - Chapter 121
The Villainess Wants To Live Quietly
Calix reflected on his actions through the conversation he had with Penelope.
He once thought so.
As time goes by and memories become glorified, Rosenia will eventually remember Dominic. So, he needs to hurry up and become Rosenia's new person.
But he didn't know that Rosenia's feelings for Dominic would be this deep.
Even though he left after saying something very hurtful to the other person, such as saying that he had a hidden child.
'I did something outrageous.'
At first, he was just curious about Rosenia and approached her while hiding himself. In the end, it was as if he had created his greatest rival with his own hands.
Would it have been better if he had hidden himself and not approached in the first place?
At that time, Calix refused all offers made to him by Rosenia, so he chose to create a fictional character.
'I should have stopped there.'
Once he was done exploring, he had to call it a day.
He made a contract with her and wasn't allowed to get close to her.
He shouldn't have had deep feelings for someone who wasn't his true self.
As a result, Rosenia became unable to forget Dominic.
Now he wasn't sure whether he could become more meaningful to Rosenia than Dominic.
Perhaps he felt this unconsciously.
It seems like they bombarded her with supplies to somehow shake off that anxiety.
Arbitrarily forcing his feelings is no different from violence against the other person.
Were his feelings violent to Rosenia?
'Don't just force your feelings, think about what the other person really wants.'
Rosenia hated the Alter Company, which interfered with her business, and himself as its head.
So what she wanted was for him to disappear forever.
But Calix couldn't choose that much.
He wanted to remain by Rosenia's side in some way. He wanted her to recognize his existence.
As a positive being rather than being hostile like now.
'Sending gifts doesn't help.'
What Rosenia likes more than that is...
'Do your best and win in the end.'
The Rosenia he saw had a strong will to win and a competitive spirit. That nature allowed Pierre's upper class to grow rapidly in a short period of time.
Still, she didn't do anything mean.
He wanted to compete fairly and achieve anything with pride.
As he thought about it, Calix realized why she despised him so much.
The Alter Company has been fighting in a way she despises the most.
Therefore, there was no way that Rosenia would look upon him kindly.

"When will it come?"
Blanc was standing nervously in front of the store.
About thirty minutes ago, the bell rang twice at the imperial palace. It was a sound declaring that the wedding was over.
Soon the Princess and the Prince will ride in a carriage and hold a parade around the capital.
And to coincide with this, Blanc's store also prepared a ceremony of sorts.
"It's Her Royal Highness's wedding. I deliberately set the opening date for a special day, but you should enjoy everything you can."
"Will the plan work?"
"I have to make it work well. And from what I saw, the people of the empire were secretly weak against superstition. In particular, it seems like they always take care of things like symbols of good luck. We just exploit that psychology."
Rosenia, who had planned the work, had a confident face. Blanc consciously tried to relax.
This is what Rosenia planned, so it will go smoothly. And finally, the people he had been waiting for appeared.
"Wow! Her Royal Highness!"
"Congratulations on your wedding"
People who came out to watch cheered.
Today's wedding was a happy occasion for the Empire for the first time in a long time, so the excitement was enormous.
The gently moving carriage stopped in front of Blanc's store. As if to repay the people's response, the couple stood up and waved.
“Waaah!”
A loud roar echoed through the streets.
There was no greater luck than this to be able to see the Princess and the Prince so close and for such a long time.
And when the people's reaction reached its peak, the Princess threw the small bouquet she was holding.
"What?"
The bouquet made of blue and white flowers, a symbol of the new bride's good luck, drew a perfect parabola and landed in Blanc's hand.
Penelope, who made eye contact, smiled. And then the carriage departed again for the parade.
"Oh my god, it's Her Highness's bouquet."
"That man received a lucky bouquet."
All attention was focused on Blanc. Blanc gulped and lifted the bouquet over his head.
"This bouquet is Her Highness's wish to bless everyone gathered here! With gratitude to Her Highness the Great Princess, I will name my store, which opens today, Rapobelle!"
Rapobelle was an ancient word meaning blessing.
Not only that, Blanc shouted.
"In addition, to commemorate the unexpected blessing I received today, I will give away Dentz handkerchiefs to those who purchase items from my store!"
The waiting employees opened the store doог.
The orchestra that had been prepared inside began to play.
People were buzzing.
They were busy watching the parade, but now that they think about it, there's a new clothing store here, right?
And one of them spoke loudly.
"Didn't the clothes the Prince just wore look a little similar to the clothes hanging in the store over there?"
"Now that I think about it, that dress looks similar to the one the Princess wore."
People's eyes sparkled.
A store blessed by the Princess sells clothes similar to the attire worn by newlyweds getting married today.
"But Dentz is the name of a very expensive men's clothing store used by nobles."
"Isn't that an expensive store too?"
"No, look over there! The price is different!"
A small panel previously installed in the shop window had the amount they could afford written on it.
A man rushed in and shouted.
"Hey, can you show me those clothes? How much is that jacket?!"
And as if that had ignited a spirit of competition, the people who had filled the streets immediately flocked into the store.
Blanc, who put a bouquet of flowers in a vase and placed it on the inside of the counter, shouted loudly.
"The staff will find what you are looking for! Please keep order!"
"What product do you want?"
"That light pink dress over there!"
"Can I really get Dentz's handkerchief as well?"
It was a huge success.
People acted as if they would be cursed if they didn't buy these clothes right away.
While Blanc was working frantically due to the crowd of people, a loud scream was suddenly heard from somewhere.
Blanc turned around in surprise and tilted his head to see the scene outside where nothing had happened.
What does he think he just heard?
***
"Ahh!"
Nathaniel was thrown into the corner of the alley.
