I Played the Role of the Adopted Daughter Too Well Chapter 60

Violas gaze turned towards the thin blade.

Even though she was terribly surprised, she didnt show it.

The sll of blood!

Her heart was pounding.

No. Dont go wild, heart.

She had to work hard to keep Viola in the original story from popping out. So, she didnt pay much attention to her own side.

Youre not surprised.

Any reason why I should be surprised?

In fact, Viola didnt know what he was talking about.

As she was holding on to all the strings of reason, she spit out any words that ca to mind. While remaining expressionless, she counted one elephant and two elephants.

Its peaceful now, Viola.

If she suddenly jumped out and cut off the Viscounts neck, she would be in trouble.

For now, just be quiet.

If theres a mont when I need you, Ill call you then, please

As if Violas wish had worked, her pounding heart had subsided.

Whoa.

Then a voice was heard.

.I.

What did you say?

I wanted revenge on my wife.

The Viscount murmured softly as he watched the blade of his sword dripping with blood through his cold eyes. Around that ti, Viola also started to get a little nervous.

What is he saying now?

He wanted revenge?

So, he got revenge? Then, what was with the bloody sword now?

No way

It wouldnt be.

The Viscount killed his cheating wife. He probably didnt do such a terrible thing?

It wont be. According to the novel, it cant be.

Doesnt the authors setting values have a great influence in this world? It couldnt be, though, that blood dripping continuously was stuck in her eyes.

Yes, it wont.

Viola took a deep breath without anyone knowing. If it was not anyone else and its Viscount Seal, there was no way thats the case.

So what kind of revenge did you want?

Viola smiled while hiding her trembling heart. Outwardly, she seed relaxed and calm.

My revenge is

Was your own death a punishnt for the Viscountess?

.

The man didnt say anything for a mont.

The little princess seed to have read everything in his heart. He had a creepy feeling as if those pretty eyes were scouring his own heart.

I knew because you lost your son. How painful it is to lose a loved one. Thats why the Viscount may have chosen your own death.

It would have been complicated.

He loved his wife though hated her, on the one hand, and wanted to forgive her Nevertheless, he couldnt. So he would eventually go to war to defend the honor and be a fierce warrior.

Viola, who was reading the novel, hit the nail correctly.

Whether you really want revenge, seriously think about it.

At that point, the Viscount said nothing.

Think seriously.

Did he really want revenge? He hated his wife so much, so maybe he just wanted to die.

You look very confused.

She could see the tip of his sword trembling. Even the Viscount himself seed unaware of his own feelings.

So, she just told him.

The Viscount didnt want revenge on your wife, you wanted revenge on the Viscount himself.

To ?

It must have been your fault, and thats why you bla yourself for your wife having an affair.

If only I had loved my wife a little more.

If only I had made my wife a little more joyful.

If only I had made my wife a little more happy.

If only I had made my wife a little more fun.

If only I had, my wife wouldnt have had an affair.

Deep in the heart of Viscount Seal, such thoughts were located.

The Viscounts love wasnt wrong. Its not the Viscounts fault.

..

For a mont, the Viscounts heart pounded goong!

Its not the Viscounts fault.

Maybe, Seal didnt know what he wanted to hear the most. So, because of that, Violas words were a great comfort.

It was the Viscountess who made the mistake.

The fault was made by the Viscountess.

She got drunk in the mood, and she committed what she shouldnt have done as a spouse.

Dont forget that it is the Viscountess, not the Viscount, who has neglected the responsibilities and duties of marriage.

But

Nevertheless, you wont be able to punish her.

Seal was such a character.

A character who loves his wife so much that he committed suicide instead.

You wont be able to kick her out.

Because

Because the Viscount loves your wife so much.

.

The Viscount dropped his sword.

Blood dripped from the palm of his hand holding his sword. Judging by the fact that the bleeding had not yet stopped, it looked like a fairly deep wound.

A few hours ago.

The Viscount shouted,

I cant forgive you!

He knew it, but he couldnt stand it when he heard the confession himself. He lost his temper in an instant and cut the palm of his hand with the sword he was wearing around his waist.

The Viscountess scread, and she was lost.

That was his revenge

To hurt his own body.

That was the greatest revenge a husband who still loved his wife could do.

I told you everything as the Viscountess had guessed.

Why? Id rather not hear anything from my wifes mouth.

You have to face the truth to move forward.

Saying so, Viola picked up the dropped sword. She held it with both hands and handed it back to the Viscount.

I know you cant forgive her right now. It will take ti.

He must have felt betrayed as much as he loved her.

She understood his heart too well.

Dont bla yourself. The Viscountess was at fault. The Viscountess, who had done her fault, confessed her fault to the Viscount, and she gathered her courage and begged forgiveness.

.

Now, the choice is yours. Forgive or not.

I am

He accepted the sword that Viola gave him as his eyes t Violas.

Viola, who was only twelve years old, had strong energy in her eyes. She had a strong core that is not shaken by anything or sothing like a firm conviction.

When he saw those eyes, he was relieved for nothing.

I will forgive her.

Viola was right.

To punish or drive away the wife, whom he loved too much

I swear I will not divulge this dishonorable thing to the outside. Your honor will not be tarnished. In the na of Veratoux, I swear.

Did you swear in the na of Veratoux?

You have one weakness of mine.

She deliberately gave her weakness.

It was a promise not to gossip.

Viscount Seal was deeply moved by that promise. He didnt know why Viola did this.

What do you want? Why are you doing this to ?

I hope that the Viscount and the wife will go on a bright path.

So, it should be. That way, the child in the womb would grow up in a peaceful environnt and beco her insurance!

She hid that dark secret.

I dont know if youve heard of it, but I heard the Viscountesss child will excel in magical talents.

Is that so?

Of course, Im not sure. This is the realm of sll and sense.

No. She was sure.

After all, it was ntioned that way in the novel. In fact, it appeared as a formidable enemy that threatened Bellatu.

She also swallowed those words.

Okay. Youre going to investin my wifes child. With uncertainty.

The Viscount hated the child.

But, it was also, on the other hand, the child of his wife. Even though he couldnt love, he seed to love

Complex, subtle, unknown emotions dominated his body.

My na is Viola Veratoux.

Viola stood up from her seat and looked down at the half-kneeling Viscount. She now had to talk to her as a Vertaoux.

I. Viola Veratoux wants to be the guardian of the newborn child.

Viola was lying flat on her bed.

Its done!

Everything she set out to do here has been accomplished.

The war between Veratoux and Viscounty Seal was stopped, and the terrible situation was eliminated. Veratouxs dangerous foe, Bengas, would never be born, and she even got the position of guardian of Bengas.

Even Viscount Seal said this.

I will rember Princess Viola.

Thanks to Violas movent, the Viscountess confessed her guilt.

It will take a bit of ti, but the direction is right. Im sure we can go in the right direction.

You just have to go in the right direction. As long as the direction is right, its okay to go slowly.

If you go in the right direction, even if its a little slow, youll end up on the right path.

I think I will be able to maintain a close relationship with Viscounty Seal.

Starting with Hickson, Jackal of Storm Fortress. And even Viscount Seal. It seed that everything that could be achieved by coming here was accomplished.

Xenon has been making strawberry ade.

Its delicious.

Didnt my skills improve these days?

It has grown.

By replacing the previously used paralyzing poison with a lethal poison, the taste is softer.

Kek!

Viola almost spit out the strawberry ade.

He changed the taste very subtly, and put lethal poison, not paralyzing poison!

Next ti, Ill raise the amount a little higher, Princess.

Xenon grinned. He seed very happy. Monts later, he looked at Viola for a long ti as if observing her.

Its a poison that can kill even an elephant, though the Princess doesnt mind.

A day has passed.

Violas stomach was slightly upset because of the lethal poison.

Pfft! Viola of the world is a stomach ache.

Hickson giggled and laughed as if it was funny.

Its a stomach ache!

.

Oh my, oh my! Even Viola has a stomach ache! Are you like a child at tis like this?

Xenon grinned.

Our princess is also suffering from a stomach ache.

Hickson giggled for a while, then went out and ca back covered in dirt. It was a strange herb that looked like a bellflower.

It is a dicine that neutralizes the poison you ate. It will relieve an upset stomach.

Xenons eyes widened.

Isnt this the root of a thermophilic plant?

Thats right.

Its very hard to find and

Its okay. I just picked it up on my way here.

Viola knew about thermophilic plants.

Not only was it rare, but it was a plant that took heat from the people who collected it and caused death from hypothermia in an instant. Therefore, the thermophilic plant was also famous as a man-eating plant.

There was absolutely no dicine that could treat it.

Co on. I got rid of all the toxicity, so eat it.

Hickson put the root of the thermophilic herb into Violas mouth with a rough hand.

Viola frowned, It tastes awful.

Use things that are good for your body.

At Violas sharp eyes, she could see Hicksons hand trembling lightly. Although he pretended to be okay, he mustve felt a little cold because of the heat he had lost while collecting the thermophilic plants.

Should I pretend I dont know?

She seed embarrassed if she should pretend to know for nothing.

Next ti, bring sothing delicious.

Are you upset about what I brought to you?

Hickson acted bluntly, though only got up after confirming that Viola was getting better.

Uncle. Where are you going?

To apologize to the Viscount.

When he was young, Hickson teased Seal a lot. He said he was about to ask for forgiveness for his immature behavior.

Kill your temper and sincerely ask for forgiveness until the other person accepts it.

I will.

Its not an apology to try to put your mind at ease. Its an apology until the other person forgives . Okay?

Oh, that old kid. I got it!

Hickson wiggled his hand in annoyance and walked away.

That evening, there was an incident that caused a stir in the Viscounty.
