Because She Had A Time Limit, She Became The Villain’s Daughter-in-law Chapter 77

As expected, you did sothing I liked very much. You deserve to be doted on.

Rosaline smiled happily at the luxurious dress Laria sent her.

Ill have to take good care of her later. How is that kid so good at taking sides?

From the looks of it, it was definitely the best outfit Laria had. Although she even sent her a lot of jewelry, they were all so pretty that it was difficult to decide what to do with them.

Ha, thats really good, and itll be better than this if I beca the Princess.

The Capital city she had co to for the first ti in her life was prosperous wherever she went, and the residence of Duke Icard was splendid enough to make her eyes turn backward.

At the ti when Rosaline was glancing in the mirror with a happy face, the tailor who looked at her clothes suddenly spoke up.

The Duke has sent you a ssage.

Pardon?

The tailor, who looked at her clothes silently, was the one Laria asked her doctor to send to Rosaline in a hurry.

I an, Im the one sent by Duke Orlando as I was urgently dispatched regarding the foundation festival attendance.

Rosaline looked at the tailor in surprise for a mont and then answered quickly.

What is it?

In the past, Duke Icard and Madam Matilda sat next to each other in first-class seats for the founding festival, and they brought so chocolate at that ti.

Saying so, the tailor quickly handed her a box of chocolates from his large bag.

Take this with you, and eat it the mont the Emperors congratulatory speech is given.

All right. I just need to eat it?

Of course, the first chocolate should be given to Duke Icard. The line is, I brought it because I thought it might be boring. Do you want so?

Okay.

And so, Rosaline accepted the box of chocolates.

The tailor looked around and said, Are you observing properly? Is there anything to report about Laria Icard? Thats what hes most curious about.

Ah, shes just a dumb girl whos being loved because she acts cute to gain favor.

She then replied with a smirk before adding.

The child knows the subject well and doesnt try to overstep. It doesnt seem like soone to be wary of, shes quite easy-going.

Yes, Ill deliver your words for now. Just in case, are things going well? If you need additional help

No, its all easy.

At the tailors kind words, Rosaline replied elated.

If I act as Matilda as trained, Duke Icard will allow anything with a blank expression on his face.

Rosaline didnt even know there was a person nad Matilda. It was only after she beca an orphan that she realized that she was a distant relative who looked very much like her. Then, after she beca an orphan, one day a man approached her and asked.

Do you have any intention of becoming the adopted daughter of a notorious noble family?

Instead of making her the adopted daughter, he asked her to keep track of the circumstances of the Duke of Icard and report it to him.

Im laughing at jokes that dont even make sense, so hell give it to real soon

From her point of view, there was no reason to refuse.

It sounds weird saying this though every ti I do that, I look a bit like an idiot.

I see. Any other achievents?

Well

After pondering for a little, she replied, I think he was looking at the docunts from the mines in the Evergreen Fortress area, although I dont know the details. Does it help?

Of course. Even the smallest things can help trendously.

Then, I will observe more carefully until you co back later

Rosalines last words didnt finish. It was because the door suddenly swung open and her cheeks imdiately burst.

This, this xx one, xx, xxx, of a xxxx, xxx x, xxx!

She didnt even have the ti to be dumbfounded.

This xx for a xxxx and xx of a xxx!

Olivias eyes widened like balls and she slapped Rosalines cheeks repeatedly, shouting out all the curses in the world.

Th-thithis

At that mont, the tailor just jumped out of the window.

If you jump from there, you will die!

As Laria cried out in surprise, Evan quickly looked out the window but it seed that he had already disappeared without a trace.

Search the mansion right now and find him.

Evan turned around and ordered the servants imdiately with eerie red eyes.

And

Then, he looked at Kallaudin and said coldly. put this kid in jail.

It was a voice without any emotion. Rosaline couldnt even react properly because nothing that was happening right now felt real. Standing outside the door, Kallaudin closed his eyes and swept his forehead.

If father is having a hard ti, Ill deal with the interrogation myself. That would be better.

Evan suggested in a cool, blunt tone.

Right. Yes. You do it, Evan.

Olivia grabbed Rosalines hair and threw her at the table.

Aahkk!

Oh my, what do I do?

Running to the staggering Rosaline and hugging her, Laria whispered low in her ear so that no one could hear it.

Hm, why did you keep pushing without knowing your place?

At her words, Rosaline gasped and looked at her as if she was out of her mind.

This is not a place where you can survive by acting like a foolish doll.

What, what?

You have to be like , you idiot. How dare you speak ill of soone else?

You

I was eavesdropping earlier, and it was so ridiculous that it was almost laughable.

At Larias whisper, Rosalines eyes glared. She raised her hand to slap her in the face.

This, this, this crazy!

How dare youto our weak-hearted Laria!

Before Rosaline could reach her again, Olivia ran and grabbed her by the collar before throwing her to the floor.

Aaahh!

With a thump, blood began to flow as if confirming that her head had been hit accidentally and Rosaline fainted. After seeing that, Olivia turned her back to Duke Icard, leaving her behind.

Kallaudin, Ive been silent about anything related to Matilda, but

Her red eyes glead eerily.

Youre out of this matter. Youd know better than that youve been fooled all this ti.

Its not

Kallaudin struggled to speak, I

His expression was distorted. After hesitating for a mont, he slowly moved his gaze to Rosaline, who was lying on the floor with her cheeks swollen.

Its a problem that I have to overco.

Then, he gave orders to the servants behind him in a calm voice.

Put her in jail for now. Now, I have to go to the foundation festival. Dont give her food. She seems to have eaten way too much for now.

The servants didnt say anything and imdiately moved Rosalines limp body. There were bloodstains strewn across the floor.

For a mont, there was silence.

Laria, who was standing still outside the door, slowly grabbed Kallaudins arm.

Father.

She spoke in a trembling voice.

I I understand. Really, so dont bla yourself too much.

No. Its true that I was being fooled.

Kallaudins fingertips were trembling softly.

I knew everything even the things that seed strange but I condoned it because I didnt want to see that face sad or distressed.

The next mont, he glanced at Laria and spoke in a regretful voice.

I heard that you often turned around in front of the office because of her.

N-no Its just, um, Miss Rosaline is good at drawing so how dare I

Even though I knew she was just a shell, I still made a family mber turn around

Kallaudins voice subsided endlessly.

We were helpless looking at you as much as you were helpless looking at her, Olivia said coldly.

Its the sa thing because we knew everything and couldnt do anything about it. Still, I didnt think that jerk son of a Orlando would have sent her.

It was quiet for a while again. Kallaudin slowly checked the clock and opened his mouth again.

Lets go.

Yes?

We have to go to the foundation festival. Well be late.

Leaving behind Evan, who was expressionless as always, the sulking Olivia and Laria wearing a worried expression, Duke Icard turned around.
