I'll Make It a Bad Ending Like a Villain

Chapter 107

At the words spat out by the escort driver, Filina narrowed her brows.

“…… How dare such rumors spread in the Alvar Empire?”

“As you know, Philina, when one false rumor spreads, it goes bottomless and endlessly. It is a game where a story that was once inflated becomes a huge chapter and unfolds. And now there are rumors about His Highness’s female side.”

He looked at Philina with a worried look on his face and pressed his lips away again.

“Your Highness relies on you a lot, and I would be very grateful if you could give me any words of comfort.”

Philina, who had been silently looking up at the escort who had spoken of it, turned her head to stare at my visit.

No matter what, you can still enter other people’s rooms like this again.

She walked slowly and turned the doorknob. Again, it didn’t take any of them, and the door opened smoothly.

Philina’s expression contorted for a moment, and then she walked slowly.

As we walked deeper into the room, we found Ian standing with his back to the window in front of the bed.

“I see your Highness.”

Filina bowed her head and murmured in a low voice. But Ian didn’t look back.

She raised her gaze to look at Ian, who stood with his back to herself.

As always, his uniform, neatly ironed without a single wrinkle, clearly showed his great stature.

Her gorgeous golden hair shone brilliantly in the sunlight reflecting off the window.

He was silent for a long time, then slowly opened his lips.

“…… I’m going to be angry at you for sneaking in again.”

He still hadn’t looked back.

Filina replied nonchalantly.

“You know that.”

At her words, Ian lowered his head and gave a small smile.

“Yes. I don’t know anything about you.”

He raised his gaze and added in a dry voice:

“I know best what kind of facial expressions you often make, and which ones represent your feelings.”

Ian slowly turned his head to face Filina head-on. His grim, golden eyes stared directly at Philina.

“What kind of hair style do you often have…, what clothes look best……”

He muttered as he slowly approached Filina one step at a time.

Presently Ian’s steps reached her front, and his large palms grasped both of Philina’s delicate shoulders.

“…… I know best, Philina.”

Ian leaned down to be at eye level with her. I could feel his hot breath right in front of my nose.

Filina was looking at Ian with a blank expression.

Even though they were close enough to feel each other’s breathing, she didn’t show the slightest fluctuation of emotion.

Philina spoke in a low voice.

“Then your Highness knows what I’m thinking now?”

At her words, Ian frowned without saying anything.

Then Philina opened her lips with a pale expression.

“How long will it bother me?”

“…….”

“Please, please, I want you to stop paying attention to me now.”

His eyes stared fiercely at Pilina.

But she continued with a casual face.

“There’s a strange rumor going around in the Alvar Empire these days.”

At Philina’s words, his face contorted like a crumpled piece of paper. Looking at Ian, she asked with a sad face.

“Your Highness, what do you think of the rumors circulating in the streets?”

“…… Shut up.”

His chilly voice echoed into Philina’s room.

Ian seemed to be strained by the rumors circulating among the Alvar Empire.

Filina stared inquiringly into his face.

Is Ian really good enough to lead the Alvar Empire?

The answer to that question was not difficult.

Ian will be the greatest emperor of all. There wasn’t much reason.

He’s the male protagonist in this novel.

With just one such title, everything is decided.

Ian, who doesn’t know this, seems to be trembling because he thinks he’s incompetent.

Only now, when he went to get Leone, he could understand Ian’s hardened expression.

Even so, rumors about his qualities are spreading from the outside, and he hasn’t caught a single rebel guild that attacked the imperial palace, so he must be nervous.

I wasn’t sure of myself.

Well…, so I’m going to take Cecilia as my wife and use her to become emperor.

Fearing that he would lose the trust of his people, he built up his image with false rumors.

But even that will eventually be buried by real rumors.

Philina opened her mouth with a gentle face.

“Wouldn’t it be better for me to meet Miss Cecilia at this time and show the public that your relationship is ongoing?”

“I’ll take care of that.”

He stared at Pilina with wide eyes.

“What you need to care about is not the damn rumors that are always circulating.”

Philina asked, looking at him with a sad face.

“So what am I supposed to care about?”

Ian, who had been looking at her quietly, straightened up and looked down at Pilina haughtily.

He opened his mouth in a cold voice.

“What you need to care about was decided from the beginning, Philina.”

She furrowed her eyebrows at the words she didn’t understand.

He looked at Pilina intently, and then opened his mouth once more with a cold expression.

“I’ll let you know. Where should those noble eyes of yours look.”

“…… That’s what it is.”

Philina questioned with a frown contorted, and Ian blurted out, his face expressionless.

“You’ll be alone in this room, Philina.”

At the abrupt words, Philina turned her head. I couldn’t turn around as I was talking to Ian, who was in front of me.

And Philina’s expression hardened.

The neatly arranged bed was missing Bessie’s pillows and blankets. The space with only the basic sheets was very desolate.

She quickly turned her gaze and looked at Bessie’s desk.

Again, there was only one empty desk. All the books that Bessie had accumulated and the notes she had painstakingly taken were gone.

Filina smirked and walked away.

She opened Bessie’s closet, but it was still empty.

By now, Bessie should have been back in her dorm.

But the door leading to the outside was silent from ahead.

Filina approached Ian with a cold face.

“What? Did Your Highness ask Lord Bessie to leave the room? Why don’t you have any of Sir Bessie’s things?”

At the sound of her voice, Ian replied, raising his mouth gently.

“I’m going to spend some time with you here in the future.”

“What?”

“So, just clean up the nuisance. I want to be alone with you.”

Apparently, Ian had moved Bessie to another room.

There were only four rooms upstairs, so it was obvious that they would use the floor where the other cadets were gathered.

Philina shot Ian nervously.

“Why do you keep being so stubborn? Didn’t I tell you clearly? I don’t want your Highness. Why are you acting so selfishly?”

She exclaimed, looking at Ian, her expression crumpled.

If anyone had seen Pilina’s figure, they would have scolded the prince for daring to shout.

But now she couldn’t see anything.

I didn’t know what to do with the fact that Bessie had been harmed by me.

Ian, who had been looking down at Pilina in silence, spoke slowly.

“I don’t care if you want me or not, Philina.”

“…… Your Highness!”

“You were mine from the beginning.”

His virtuous eyes penetrated Philina relentlessly.

“I’m going to force myself to have you.”

Ian’s eyes twitched with obsession.

As soon as the next day came, Filina went straight to Bessie.

She seemed to have decided to convert what had been used as a storage room on the floor below into a room and live alone.

In a space that was too cramped compared to the room she was used to, Filina felt sorry for her.

Seeing her, Bessie patted Filina on the shoulder, saying that she was fine.

“Sir Philina, I don’t really care, do you? Don’t be sorry.”

“Sir Bessie has been harmed by me. How could I not be sorry.”

“It didn’t happen because Sir Philina wanted it to. In fact, I’m very sad about it too. I also ran out of belongings, but I was far away from the room……. But you have to see me often, Sir Philina?”

Bessie smirked and said it, and Filina smiled reluctantly.

“Absolutely. That’s what I’m going to say.”

After talking to Bessie for a while, Filina left the dormitory building and walked to the kennel.

In fact, I was going to go to the hallucinatory forest with Huey, but the dorm room was empty.

So I just wanted to see if he was nearby.

After all, she couldn’t open the kennel door by herself.

Then Filina stumbled upon Masha coming out of the lab.

Next to her sat the chief priest whom she had seen at the ordination ceremony.

Just then, his eyes met Marsha’s as he was about to walk. She spoke to the chief priest beside her for a moment, then turned and walked toward Philina.

“I was just going to see him, but this is how I ran into him.”

The chief priest seemed to have moved elsewhere first.

Filina greeted Masha with a polite face, then asked a belated question.

“You wanted to meet me?”

Marsha nodded at her question.

“I had just asked Sir Lawrence where Sir Debussy’s room was. I was worried about whether I could visit him, but I’m glad I met him like this.”

Filina nodded in amazement and looked at Masha.

Perhaps she had been visiting the swordsmanship academy for something else, and she was going to see Philina.

Nonetheless, Filina was overwhelmed by Masha’s attention.

As she rolled her eyes awkwardly, Masha burst out laughing cutely.

Then he stared at the back of Pilina, and his expression hardened.

“Why is he here?”
