I’ll Make It a Bad Ending Like a Villain

Henry had called a carriage to the front of the academy beforehand, and a coachman led them.

As I rode into the downtown area in a black carriage with a stylish design, I saw buildings that I had not seen in a long time.

When the carriage reached a certain point, it stopped, and Henry, who had disembarked before her, held out his hand.
Filina naturally stopped trying to grab his hand.

It was a little awkward to be escorted by Henry.
Then, as soon as I pretended to be unconcerned, I grabbed his hand and got out of the carriage.

Of course, as soon as both feet touched the floor, he let go of Henry’s hand.
Then his gaze caught up and he followed Philina’s hand, which he had missed.

She hid her hand behind her back, looking embarrassed.

“So…, where are you going?”

It was then that Henry realized that his eyes had been staring intently at Philina’s hand, and he sneered with a slightly flushed face.

“First of all, the rice first……”

Before he could finish speaking, he heard someone calling to Henry in the distance.

“Oh, aren’t you Argeny?”

Philina was the first to recognize the owner of the voice, and quickly covered her face with her hands.

It was none other than Sharon Young-ae.
She was not alone.
Behind Sharon was walking along with a few other family members.

“Prince Henry.”

And Cecilia was there, too.
Philina sighed inwardly and put her foot back.

“What’s going on here? I heard that you have returned to the swordsmanship academy.”

Sharon asked, her eyes sparkling.
For a moment, a circle surrounded Henry.

He looked at Philina with a puzzled expression on his face.
But she was on the run, far away from Henry.

He gave a small gasp as he alternated between looking at Philina and the young boys who stood in my way.

Sharon, who is famous for her yard feet, narrowed her eyes and asked Henry.

“Do you remember me? I greeted His Highness the Crown Prince at his coming-of-age party.”

Henry sighed softly and opened his mouth.

“Well, I don’t know.
I don’t remember people very well…”

Then, this time, Fabien Young-ae suddenly popped out in front of Henry.

“Then you know me? I introduced myself as Fabien.”

She asked, covering her face slightly with the fan she was holding in her hand.
Then, when he makes eye contact with Henry, he winks softly.

He said, his brow furrowed.

“I’m sorry.
I don’t remember.”

Henry’s gaze shifted again to look at Philina.

She took a long step back, avoiding the gaze of the young children, and saw someone approaching her.

It was Cecilia, with her waist-length golden hair stretched in a straight line.

Her green eyes were looking at Philina with puzzlement.

“…… You’re a princess, aren’t you?”

Philina, whose shoulders shook at Cecilia’s question, spread her palms more firmly, covering her face.

Cecilia asked, tilting her head to one side.

“Why do you keep pretending you don’t know? Princess Philina.”

She drove a wedge and calmly recited Philina’s name.
Then Philina, looking at Cecilia through her fingers, whispered in a small voice:

“I’m sorry, Miss Cecilia, for if I were to tell the other girls that I was out with Lord Argeny, I would be strangely misunderstood.”

In fact, on the surface, there wasn’t much to be misunderstood.
This was typical of Philina’s outfit.

If she had been as careful about her clothes as Henry was, she might have been mistaken, but Philina’s outfit was not what the average woman would wear on a date with a nice gentleman.

So if you say that you had a short job at the military academy and you went out, it was over.

Nevertheless, the reason why Philina couldn’t stand tall was that she didn’t know that if this outing was Henry’s intention, it was really a “date.”

In a word, it was because his conscience pricked him.

Of course, he didn’t come out with that intention at all, he just lost the bet and was forced out.

Sure enough, Cecilia’s eyes widened, as if she had just realized that she had been with Henry.

“I see…, why is the princess with Confucius Argeni……”

Cecilia muttered softly, looking shocked.
The outfit that Philina was wearing right now didn’t even look like it was eye-catching.

Filina let out a small sigh.

“Look, it’s so easy to misunderstand.
But as I said before, it’s just a misunderstanding…”

Philina paused in the middle of her speech.

He had spotted Henry strode behind Cecilia.

The young boys behind him were only staring at his back with puzzled faces.

“Are you going to run away alone this time?”

Henry pulled his lips up to look at Philina.
He blurted out, remembering her the other day when she had left me in the forest of the winds and was trying to escape alone.

As Henry stood facing Philina, all the young boys behind him were busy.
It was to check on Philina’s face.

Sharon was heard muttering with a puzzled face.

“Aren’t you very familiar with that silhouette? If you have that red hair .
.
.”

Sharon murmured low, and her eyes widened as she met Fabien next to her.

Meanwhile, Filina bit her bottom lip with a look of dismay and glared at Henry, who was in front of her.

Soon afterwards, Sharon, who had exchanged glances with Fabien, tried to approach Pilana’s place.

Filina hurried to escape.
But it was straight into Henry’s hands.

It wasn’t even a cuff, it was the palm of the hand.
Their hands touched each other perfectly, without the slightest gap.

He could feel Cecilia’s gaze on him from the side.

Filina hurriedly tried to pull her hand away, but she was reluctant.

Eventually, Philina gave up trying to let go of his hand and fled the other way, clutching Henry’s large palm.

What if Henry didn’t follow him, but luckily he obediently followed her lead.

Cecilia, who was left alone, was concerned, but at least it was better than Henry and the spread of strange rumors.

Among the nobility, gossip between men and women was like a ray of light that broke through the tedious routine.

In particular, the blow of rumors was all for the woman to bear.

If she even marries a rumored man, most aristocrats will say “I thought so” and the gossip would end quickly, but if the marriage partner is different, the image of the woman will be destroyed in an instant.

So, if the women weren’t the ones to marry, they would have secret meetings quietly, away from prying eyes.

Of course, she hadn’t lived here long enough to get married, but she didn’t want to add a male relationship to the bad rumors about Duchess Debussy.

Even so, I’m anxious about Ian, and if he gets involved with Henry in a way that hurts him, it’s only his own loss.

Even in his first life, the reason why no one acknowledged his chagrin was because of the damn rumors about Philina or Debussy.

So I wanted to avoid any more unpleasant rumors.

Philina hurried Henry into one of the buildings, catching his breath.
He stared down at Pilina without saying a word.

She said, looking at Henry with wide eyes.

“What if you come to me in that situation?”

Henry replied with a grim face.

“That’s why Sir Debussy didn’t try to escape alone again.”

His eyes folded softly in half, smiling gracefully.

“I thought it would be better to have two people in trouble than one.”

“You can’t die alone, what’s the matter?”

“It’s similar.”

At Henry’s relaxed answer, Filina snorted and walked out.

As she walked to the other side of the road from which she had fled from the Youngs, she felt Henry’s popularity slowly following behind her.

I don’t know where to go, but once I did, I walked.
It was enough to just waste time on such useless things and then go back to the military academy.

Filina casually scanned the building to the side and frowned at the sight of me and Henry through the glass window.

The sight of him strolling through the wide downtown area brought back memories that I didn’t want to recall.

Before, he had no idea that he would hate Henry so much.
I had many memories of laughing and talking with him.

At that time, I wasn’t so hopeless, and I was looking for a little more hope than I do now.

It may have been the beginning of all his misfortunes at the moment of his death.

Then the sound of a loud horse’s hooves came to Philina’s ears.

At the same time someone wrapped his arms tightly around her waist, and a large carriage passed swiftly beside them.

Philina looked at Henry in surprise.

“Are you okay?”

Philina, who had been staring blankly at him as he asked affectionately, smiled with delight.

“I’ve had enough dodging, but you don’t give me a chance.”

“Lady won’t give you any gaps, so you can only make it yourself.”

She pursed her lips at Henry’s smirk and snapped her chin around his waist.

“Honestly, I don’t think we’re the kind of people who can stick together like this.”

“…… I don’t want to rush to get close.”

He gave a vague answer and let Filina go.
Then he checked the time and let out a small sigh.

“…… I didn’t mean to waste my time like this, but things got messed up from the start.”

Unlike Henry, Filina, who tried to waste as much time as she could, rolled her eyes awkwardly, pricked in her heart.

“So how were you going to spend your time? Didn’t you ask me to go out for a meal earlier?”

“…… That said, the restaurant I was originally going to has long since passed.”

Apparently, the place Henry was going to was one of the restaurants on the street where he ran into the young children.

The neighborhood was lined with some of the most delicious and expensive restaurants in the Alvar Empire.

He looked quite disappointed when his plans were disrupted.

Seeing her face so beautiful and even letting out a small sigh, she looked a little pitiful.

Philina looked around with a puzzled look at the restaurant not too far away.

“It’s more exciting to find a lesser-known place than a famous restaurant that everyone knows.”

She said, pointing with her hand to the small dining room.

“Let’s go over there, shall we?”

Philina walked ahead of him as if to take the lead.
Henry, who had been staring at her backside, gave a small smile and followed behind Philina.
