I Awoke as an Imprisoned Villainess-Chapter 63 - Abduction

Abduction

I might be in a big pinch.

If I could make an excuse, even I had a feeling that I might be in danger more or less.

Therefore, taking into consideration the advice that Claude sama gave me yesterday, I had made all the necessary preparations in advance to save my life in times of emergency.

But somehow, the crisis was different from what I’d expected.

I was being carried into a large but old, shabby house at the end of the alleyway.

In the corner of this room, there was the injured boy.

He was staring over here with a tranquil face that couldn’t be read.

Surrounded by five or six men who did not seem to have a warm heart, I was listening to an extremely disturbing conversation with a pale face.

“Since it’s like this, let’s go with fingers?”

“No, we were told to not hurt her hands. How about teeth?”

“It’s quite pitiful for her to lose her teeth while she’s young, isn’t it?”

Such conversations are taking place.

I thought I’d end up getting told, “If you value your life, take out your money”, but I never thought they were aiming for the body.

As my face became paler, thinking about how messy it had become, a man with dull blond hair who seemed to be the leader of the group glanced at me.

“——No, hair should be fine. Since it’s an unusual color for natural hair, it’s obvious it’s the real one”

“You’re not wrong”

——-The real one?

It’s as if he’s targeting me because of who I am.

One of the men looked at my confused face and gave a look of pity. “Quite young, aren’t you?”

“Sorry you got roped into this. Treating the wound of Liam, you’re a lot nicer than I’ve heard”

“Roped into this...…?”

I tilted my head, not understanding what he meant, and the blonde man from earlier sounded appalled, “She’s that villainess’s friend, you know?”

“I’m sure she’s not as bad as that one, but rumors are everywhere, claiming she’s a greedy evil lady who’s well versed in the art of poison. She has a harmless and meek face.... But no doubt she’s doing terrible things alongside that woman. She probably treated Liam because she wanted to get her hands on a beautiful boy. That or she wanted to sell him. And now she’s going to be sold out as a bait herself”

“……..!!”

At the outrageous misunderstanding and disturbing words, I let out an inaudible sound.

“W-wrong, that misunderstanding.....!”

“Don’t play dumb with me. I’ve heard about you”

The blonde man chuckled at my words.

This chapter is updat𝙚d by freeweɓnovel.cøm.

“I heard that you spent your birth family’s money like water to bring down the family, imprisoned your stepmother after treating her like a servant, and sold your stepsister to the villainess. Good grief.... It’s completely inhumane”

“…….!”

I’m very familiar with what he’s saying.

It was absolutely not me, and although exaggerated, it was generally true.

I was unable to defend myself, and the blonde man frowned at me, saying, “A good person would never hang out with Violet Elford in the first place”.

“A family got ruined just because someone stepped on the hem of her dress at a soiree”

“R-ruined just because someone stepped on the hem of her dress.....!?”

I widened my eyes in surprise.

I heard about the downfall but I never heard of the cause being something as trivial as that.

“Yeah. —–What’s more, she made up a nonexistent crime to imprison the head of the family and his wife. And their daughter was sent to a monastery”

“Just for stepping on the hem of her dress.....!?”

“That’s right. Horrible, isn’t it? ......Well, that said, I don’t have any sympathy for that fallen house either. Strange enough, aristocrats and commoners alike, they can’t live without doing something underhanded. Like this”

Saying this, the blonde man grabbed a tuft of my hair and pulled it tightly.

The impact caused the hair clip that Claude sama gave me to come off and fall to the ground.

“Ah!”

I unintentionally let out a voice and looked at the hair clip. The man then said irritably, “How carefree you are, thinking about your accessory even at a time like this” , and before I knew it, he pointed a knife at me.

I subconsciously became tense, and the next moment— I felt dizzy.

As I involuntarily frowned at the unbearable dizziness, the blonde man said with a little sympathy in his voice.

“Yeah, it’’s scary, isn’t it? But don’t worry. We’re just going to cut your hair and send it to the Elfords”

He paused a moment as he said this, then he ran his knife through my hair. “It’s a wonder what will happen to you after that”

“But at least, you’ll live long enough to see the flower festival”

My eyes whirl around. I felt a strong floating sensation as if my consciousness was forcibly pulled, and I almost let out a weird voice, barely making it through.

As I closed my eyes, unable to stand the unpleasant feeling I’ve experienced before, my body suddenly became heavy.

Then, I could sense that the circumstances had changed.

The moment I opened my eyes, I made eye contact with the priest who had a strange expression on his face.

The moment Sophia and Maurice locked eyes.

“——How long are you planning to touch me?”

Translator’s Notes:

I wonder if the author will discontinue this novel. The Chapters have stopped at the epilogue of arc two for a long time now…
