The Villain’s Sister Suffers Today
Chapter 10

Chapter 10

I grabbed Alex, who was nearby and got him to check the chandelier that fell .

Although he seemed confused he did as he was told, then widened his eyes in surprise .

“Huk . Why did this become so loose?”

Alex called for about two more servants and replaced the connecting part with a new one .

The servants decided to check the other chandeliers as well, and as I was watching the butler came up to talk to me .

“It would’ve been dangerous if we just left it . There could’ve been an accident at the banquet . How did you know?”

“Just…… . ”

I just made up a random reason to the butler, who was looking at me as if I had godly powers .

“Had a bad dream about it . ”

The chandelier was fixed easily but I couldn’t be relaxed .

There were quite a lot of things that caught my attention now that I was looking over the banquet hall like this .

‘That statue . ’

What if it suddenly falls? It looks dangerous because it’s heavy .

‘That decoration . ’

It wouldn’t be good if that fell on your head .

‘Vase . ’

Why did they put such a big case there? What if someone got crushed under it?

I was nervous . If Agrita dying wasn’t a coincidence and was her fate, I couldn’t leave anything that could be dangerous .

I had to get rid of everything .

I looked at the butler, who I had given my dream excuse to .

“I had a bad feeling about this . My dream was ominous . So could we change the banquet hall location or the placing of things? I really hope we can do it even if it means we have to delay the banquet a bit . ”

“What? Ah, yes . I understand . Please tell me how you want it done . ”

Perhaps it was because he had seen the chandelier, the butler did not question my words despite my sudden request .

From then I actively began removing the things that bothered me .

If someone asked me if it was okay to change the banquet hall like this, even though I wasn’t the reason we were having a banquet, I could say it’s okay because Ash isn’t interested in stuff like this .

He has no interest to the point that he wouldn’t even know what changed .

It took about thirty minutes to fix everything . Right then Bessie hurriedly ran down the stairs .

“Miss!”

“Hmm? Ah . ”

“I heard from the butler . You’re changing everything because of your dream . Sigh, but still . Why now?!”

I noticed that Bessie was holding heavy makeup boxes filled with makeup in each hand .

I was shocked by her enthusiasm . Huk, I couldn’t believe she carried it all the way here .

“Wasn’t it heavy?”

“Is being heavy the issue here? I thought you would come if I waited…… . ”

“Sorry . But I still have some stuff to rearrange…… . ”

“You can order them while getting your makeup done . ”

So I ended up sitting at a chair and getting my makeup done for me while I ordered for things to be removed or replaced .

Bessie’s hands flew around madly as she finished makeup that would normally take an hour in thirty minutes .

The butler who was watching later told me it looked like Bessie had godly powers .

Anyway time passed and I was about done getting ready and almost done getting dangerous objects out of the banquet hall .

I looked around the hall one last time next to Bessie, who was panting in pride .

‘Done . ’

For now, there was nothing dangerous left that I could see . I did all that I could .

There seemed to be nothing in the hall that could target Agrita’s life .

In a little bit, the invited guests will begin entering .

I will be outside for a while when that happens and enter with Ash after the entire hall is full of people .

“The Duke should be finished getting ready as well . Let’s go upstairs . ”

I paused in the middle of turning at those words .

Wait .

Now that I look at it, that…… .

“That carpet . ”

“Yes?”

“The material looks slippery . Someone wearing high heels may slip and fall . ”

“…… . . ”

“Let’s change it . ”

The butler hadn’t been saying anything about my orders till now, but he now he looked at me with eyes that looked like he had something to say .

I ignored his look and pushed my order .

“Hurry . ”

* * *

In other people’s eyes, it must have looked like I was making a fuss .

It wasn’t like I didn’t know .

I saw that the servants who followed my orders after seeing how I had identified the carpet began giving me flustered looks as time went by .

‘Think about what you want . ’

I wondered if I should elaborate on how terrible my dream was, but dropped the idea .

What they thought of my actions wasn’t all that important .

There was only one important matter . Preventing Agrita’s death .

‘And…… . . ’

I clenched my fist .

‘I need to figure out what the issue is . ’

I thought about it until late last night and even though till I broke the marble this morning .

It was a continuation of accidents that didn’t go far from a certain point, so I couldn’t think of an answer, but I did come up with one solution .

‘Something is wrong with Agrita . ’

There were only two options . If it was true that the world was trying to kill the heroine .

There’s something wrong with the world, or there’s something wrong with the heroine .

Or it could be both but that’s too depressing so I decided not to think about it now .

It would be difficult to look for the problem that occurred in the world if I were to try and do it by myself .

So I decided to think that there was a problem with Agrita, which gave me a little hope .

‘I’ll observe thoroughly throughout the banquet . ’

“Phew . ”

I breathed loudly without even realizing when Ash suddenly spoke to me .

“Nervous?”

“Of course…… . ”

I nearly replied naturally before shutting my mouth . That’s not right .

I took into consideration the place and situation . Right now I was standing in front of the banquet hall entrance with Ash .

I was simply attending as a family member and guest of the banquet that was for Ash .

‘There’s no reason for me to be nervous . ’

There was no reason for me to be outside and Ash seemed a little confused .

Ah, I can’t even tell him that it’s because of Agrita .

I rolled my eyes and made up a reason .

“…… . Of course, I’m nervous . It’s the day you’re becoming an adult . ”

I actually had no idea what it meant for Ash to become an adult today .

In my eyes, he had been an adult long before today .

But I acted the part of the older sister who was proud of her younger brother who had grown to be an adult and was even more thrilled than he was .

“It’s a really important day, don’t you think?”

Ash didn’t really respond . Hmm, well, I guess he understood .

Right then the banquet hall door opened at the butler’s signal .

I walked into the hall with my hand on Ash’s arm .

“……Hello, Your Grace . ”

“Congratulations on becoming an adult . ”

“I also congratulate you with all my heart . ”

The same scene as before unfolded . The people who had frozen at Ash’s appearance soon surrounded him to offer their greetings .

I also somewhat responded to the greetings made towards me and wiped my cheek with my right hand . There’s isn’t a piece of thread on my face today right?

‘Agrita . ’

I turned my eyes .

Agrita was standing near the entrance with the exact look she had before we came back in time .

I looked above her unconsciously .

Despite having checked up on the chandelier earlier my heart still pounded .

Ash did not see Agrita this time either .

Not only did she not catch his sight, but he was also responding to the crowd’s greetings without even realizing that she existed .

Not caring about him, I continued to look at Agrita .

This was also a bit flustering, but it wasn’t important compared to Agrita’s death .

Everything came after Agrita’s survival .

After a while of watching her, Agrita began to move .

Taking into consideration the direction she was moving in, it seemed like she was approaching this way .

‘Is she going to come to greet Ash?’

Ash spoke first to Agrita in the book but I supposed it was going to flow a different way because Ash did not act the way he was supposed to .

I glanced at the ceiling again . The chandelier did not move .

I maintained my focus and didn’t take my eyes off of her .

But in the middle of walking this way, Agrita suddenly grabbed a servant .

‘Hmm?’

She seemed to ask something, and the servant pointed at a direction . It was the door that led to the back garden .

Agrita bowed her head slightly in gratitude and turned in that direction .

‘Huh?’

I came back to my senses soon after being flustered .

Ah, yes . I remembered that Agrita actually spent her time in the back garden instead of the crowded hall while the banquet was open .

Ash was supposed to ask for her name and cause a scene before she left for the garden, but that step seemed to be omitted .

‘Back garden…… there’s nothing in the back garden right?’

The back garden was a simple garden . There were only small trees and grass .

Ah, rocks…… are those dangerous too?

I watched her move towards the door and took a step as well .

I was worried too but I had to observe and watch her anyway .

I had to follow her .

It should’ve been Ash instead of me, but Ash was already doing things unlike the plot, so I doubted he would do this either .

To not give her the stalker vibes, I moved quickly after she went out the door .

I carefully opened the door and pushed my body out .

‘She’s there . ’

Agrita did not move far . She was sitting on a flat rock that was a small distance away from the hall, where the light from the hall still shined softly .

I thought about how I should observe her .

Should I just watch and observe?

Or should I approach her and have a conversation?

I was beginning to ask myself what’s the point of simply watching her from a distance .

Unless I had amazing insight on what was going on, even if there was something wrong with Agrita I wouldn’t be able to identify it by just watching from a distance like this .

‘There’s no other way . ’

Let’s go talk to her . Even if we don’t have a full-on conversation I might be able to feel something if I look at her close up .

I walked towards her as I thought this .

“Ugh . ”

Someone whined and It wasn’t from me .

“All the shoes here are in bad quality . Why do the expensive ones hurt my feet so much?”

I stopped in my tracks .

“Is it because my feet are weak or something?”

Perhaps she couldn’t see me because she was facing the other way, but Agrita took her shoes off and complained .

The shoes she had taken off rolled on the grass .

I was flustered .

‘Has…… has she always been like this?’

Of course, the Agrita I knew was only based on the information told in the novel .

But still, how should I put it, hmm, it was quite unexpected?

The book only had lines of her talking and descriptions of her movements but I was pretty sure it wasn’t this .

‘Her voice is quite similar to how I imagined it though . ’

Agrita’s voice was clear and pure .

I knew her voice had nothing to do with her looks but it was just like her looks .

I shook my head to shake off the thoughts of her having an unexpected personality or whatever .

It was unreasonable to be shocked about someone I saw for the first time after reading about in a novel .

‘Yes . Celebrities are quite different on television and in actuality . ’

I didn’t know if it was a correct comparison but I just accepted it and started walking again . It was right then .

“When can I go back?”

“……”

“I can’t even search how to go back on my phone or something . Phew . ”

What?

I stopped moving completely .

What did she just say?

“Lady…… Grace . ”

“Hmm?Huk!Who are you?”

I called out to her while standing there, dazed . Agrita widened her eyes after finally noticing me when I called her name .

Agrita seemed surprised, then covered her mouth hurriedly as if she remembered something .

“Ah, could you hear what I was saying? Did you hear?”

“Right now…… . ”

I repeated what I had heard .

“You said phone . ”

“Uwah . ”

She heard .

Agrita looked at me with an expression that had ‘she heard’ written all over it .
