The Baddest Villainess Is Back - Chapter 67
“Kyah! How can there be not one, but two men exactly to my taste?!”
Naryan exclaimed with a sunny smile.
There might have originally been just one man for her.
Arma was shocked to easily recall a misunderstanding Roxelyn could have made.
And he was again shocked that he had easily allowed that misunderstanding.
“I get that I’m handsome, but put me down already! You little brat!”
“Oh my oh my, how cute! Are you threatening me now, brother?”
“Who’s your brother?!”
(T/N: she’s calling him ‘Oppa’)
“Why, I heard that people from the Empire like it when a cute and small girl talks to them like this… You’re so picky, my sweetie.”
Yuldian’s face, already pale from the series of events, now turned utterly ashen.
The little girl, holding Yuldian in her arms, shrieked with delight.
“Haa… What a pity. That pretty brother and sister were good at running away… How about it? Marry me?”
“I’ll pass, thanks.”
Roxelyn shrugged her shoulders and answered nonchalantly.
“Tsk, such a cool sister. Well, that’s fine! I have not one but two handsome men anyway!”
Naryan winked at Arma.
Then Arma quietly let down the bangs he had styled up until now.
“Here we are!”
The place they were guided to was like a round tent.
The frame was made of wood, and it was wrapped in a thicker fabric than regular cloth, suggesting good insulation.
Given the high altitude, the wind blowing was cold like early winter, so this was welcome news.
Unlike a tent, it had a proper wooden door.
It wasn’t divided into a living room, kitchen, or multiple rooms, but the large space seemed to include everything from a kitchen to a bathroom and a bedroom.
Of course, the tent was far from shabby.
It wasn’t lacking compared to other houses, appearing quite spacious and sturdy.
Given Kaluta’s nomadic nature, hardly settling in a specific place, it was understandable that there were hardly any solid buildings, which made sense.
Indeed, Kaluta, with its tribes living separately, resembled a village.
“These guys here will explain the details.”
The waiting people approached.
Approaching the armed soldiers and knights with bare hands, they showed no sign of tension.
“Originally, we planned to hold a banquet this evening, but given the circumstances, it might be postponed.”
Naryan said with a smile.
“There might even be an execution tonight.”
Naryan spoke cheerfully about something rather frightening, which made it all the more chilling.
“…”
Yuldian, still in her arms, looked as if he might vomit at any moment.
“If you don’t want to see something harsh, it’s best if everyone stays inside their tents today.”
She said this and put Yuldian down.
“See you tomorrow, cutie.”
Chu—
She kissed the back of Yuldian’s hand and disappeared from sight.
Roxelyn also sighed tiredly and entered the tent assigned to her.

“…Haah.”
As soon as Arma entered the tent assigned to him, he roughly tousled his hair and threw off his black clothes.
“Always making things difficult for people.”
Realizing that all his efforts to act naturally were in vain, he was at a loss for words.
Roxelyn seemed to have no particular feelings towards him.
‘Why am I even doing this?’
In truth, breaking off the engagement was not a significant issue in his life.
She had been an interesting person to observe, but that didn’t mean he needed to go to such lengths.
Arma had learned to conceal himself as he grew older.
He hid because it was bothersome otherwise.
Not wanting to become like his father, the Emperor, he acted dumb, weak, and pitiful in front of others.
Thus, acting out his true nature this time was somewhat risky.
“But all that was…”
For someone else?
Arma felt dizzy as he collapsed onto the cheap bed.
‘…How did Roxelyn even know the ideal type of a Kaluta princess she’s never met?’
He slowly closed and then opened his eyes, pondering.
“…No.”
Arma murmured softly.
“What am I lacking?”
