Since When Were You The Villain?

een going out of the mansion.

After meeting Dr.
Leopeld, Killian spoke a few words with the doctor.
And passed the doctor over to his attendant.

The doctor and the attendant headed to the carriage standing in front of the mansion’s front door.

However, Sophia’s fiance still did not leave the front of the main building.

The butler went out again and spoke with Killian.

“I, young master.
The Duke of Rivelon asked to visit Miss Sophia, but…”

The butler returned and delivered the second purpose of Killian.

Ian bit his lip angrily, and Sophia, who was coughing, looked at the butler.

“Killian came to visit…?”

She asked while sounding like a torn wind.

Sophia blinked her eyes repeatedly, trying to come to her senses.

Her hazy mind gradually became clearer thanks to the bitter and astringent medicine that seemed to paralyze the inside of her tongue.

She now knew that this was not a dream.

That this was Ian’s room, and that Killian came to visit.

‘It’s okay to be a female protagonist, even if it hurts…’

Everything runs into a cliché for the protagonist.

Convinced of the luck of the heroine, which made her overjoyed even in the midst of her cold, Sophia looked at Ian.

He had a bad expression on his face, as if he had taken the bitter medicine instead of her.

“Sophia is not ready to receive guests, so send him back.”

“No…! Cough!”

Sophia, who was desperately trying to grab the butler, coughed out a harsh cough.

“I want to meet him… I’m going to meet Killian.”

After she had calmed down her cough, Sophia continued.

The male protagonist came to visit, but she couldn’t see him.

“Are you going to meet the Duke like that?”

Ian glanced at her.

While her fever was falling, her hair was wet with sweat with eyes half relaxed from the cold, and her voice cracked roughly with a hoarse throat.
She had discolored lips, a pale complexion, and dark circles under her eyes.

“The disgrace of the family is enough for yesterday’s scandal.”

Ian stabbed her with his thorny words.

Sophia looked back.
She knew she wasn’t in a neat shape.

“However… Cough!”

She tried to chime in with a few words like yesterday, but she lost her spirit.

Her swollen tonsils didn’t come out properly, so she couldn’t even argue.

Ian blinked at Sophia’s helpless look.

“Take him back, butler.”

Once again, the butler moved at the falling command.

Ian looked outside again to make sure the butler was sending Killian back.

As the messenger went out to the front door and spoke, Killian’s head rose.

Bright red eyes shining in the darkness looked at Ian standing by the window.

“…It seems that my fiance’s room has been moved to the main building.”

The doctor came out of the main building, and Ian Frauss was outright vigilant.

Killian muttered.

The white face of Ian Frauss can be seen in the lit window and flickering candles.

He knew that the duke came, but he didn’t even come to meet him, he just stood by the window and looked down.

“But, to hear about my fiance’s condition and to be held back by the doorstep…”

Killian fiddled lazily with his wrist.

With the window, the two gazes collided.

The reason why Killian came to the Frauss mansion at such a late hour was to find a doctor.

A few hours ago…

“You didn’t have to come in person.”

“… Because the Crown Prince has asked for it.”

Killian ruffled his messy hair and looked at the building sign with a medical mark on it.

[Dr.
Leopeld’s Hospital.]

Although there is a separate royal physician, it was common to request a visit from an authoritative doctor depending on the field of specialization.

“Your Majesty’s health is getting worse day by day.”

“Shh.”

The emperor’s health information was confidential.

It was known to some extent that the current emperor’s condition was not the same as before, but even so, they must be careful with their mouths.

The current emperor was so ill that he was unable to perform even half of his duties.

Although he took a direct seat in an important statue, most of the work was done by Crown Prince Mikhail and Empress Beatrix.

The reason why Killian came to see another doctor today was because of the emperor’s obscure fever that had continued for several days.

“Chief of the Military Police!”

As he entered the hospital, the trainees met him.

“Where is Dr.
Leopeld?”

“He’s absent from a visit.”

“When will he come back? No, I’ll pick him up myself.”

“Ah, he went to the Frauss mansion about two hours ago.”

His eyes gleamed when he answered.

The trainee also heard about the weekly magazine yesterday, so he remembered the relationship between Killian and the Frauss family.

“Frauss?”

“That’s because Sir Ian called saying that Miss Sophia Frauss was ill.”

“…Sophia Frauss?”
