I will not die a Villainess's death-Chapter 91 91: An Unfriendly Household

They were finally here, right in front of Baron Pheros's mansion. It had only taken a day's travel time and an upset stomach to get this far.

And why would it not when Enma knew what kind of bomb lay in waiting right in the heart of the Baron's mansion? He was still kicking himself for not realizing what kind of danger he had landed himself into.

Not that Baron Person was a problem this time. He was a small-time villain who was just there to further the original plot and introduce a mystery character in the novel who the Female lead met.

That unknown character fell in love with her gentleness at the first sight and later was known as a major villain in the story.

But the only problem was - Enma never played his route. All he knew was that the character was someone important from the Perrusia Empire and he caused a lot of trouble in the future.

He had even offered Elysia a hand in some of her schemes against Eve to drive Eve into his hands.

But now there was no Eve here, but Elysia. This would change the future a lot and Enma did not want to be here when that happened at all.

If it kept on changing like this, then what would happen to Enma? Would he end up dying? He was not supposed to be here in the first place.

'No, stop thinking like this. I will be alright. Is anything else than sticking close to the main cast that will help me? No one important dies in these stories anyway except the villain. But wait, am I not on the path to becoming a villain since I am sticking close to them?'

Enma's forehead broke out into a nervous sweat at the thought. He had not paid attention to his company this far but Elysia was a villainess.

'Stop thinking negative thoughts. I will be alright.'

Enma shook his head as he entered the gothic mansion. He kept his steps slow and steady to not be noticed by anyone.

All this while, be observed Elysia see what she would do next. Just because she had not done anything significant yet did not mean she could not.

He knew how powerful she was beneath her cute and fragile exterior and he refused to be taken in by her gentle looks.

"My lady, you are back? L-Lord Baron asked to meet you–, Oh, do we have guests? What should we do now? The Baron will be angry….."

The servant here looked as rude as the one in Dirac mansion but it was not Enma's place to say anything. He did not mind being talked to like this but he could tell that it bothered Lady Pheros.

The twins ran past the maid with a vicious cry and disappeared inside the mansion. They did get a lot of stinky eyes from the staff but no one said anything to them.

It seemed like Elysia was not the only noble not liked by their staff.

"You do not need to worry about my husband and his mood since I will talk with him. For now, show our guests to their rooms and make sure they lack nothing. They are important guests from the Dirac house." f𝘳𝚎𝑒𝚠𝑒𝚋𝘯o𝘃eƖ.co𝓂

The servant's look changed in an instant at hearing the name 'Dirac' and her face broke out into a natural-looking smile.

Had Enma not seen these people's real faces with one eye, he would have never believed that this smiling lady was the same one from before.

"Lady Pheros, let me accompany you in greeting Baron Pheros. I need to pass my brother's regards toward his excellent contributions and I want to have a chat with Lord Pheros as well." pan(da-n0vel.c)om

For some reason, the maid looked bashful when Elysia praised Lord Pheros. The adoration in her eyes was not one a servant held toward their master but something different.

"Lord Pheros is admirable for sure. He is an excellent person to work for and live with. I am sure my lady will find him to be a good human as well."

Elysia quickly looked back toward Lady Pheros's clenched fists and closed-off expression. That was all she needed to see before deciding to butt out of this mess. It was better to not get caught up in this affair.

And this was an affair. As slow as Elysia was in the matter of hearts, she was no estrangement to the matter of desire.

She did not need to be involved to be able to tell that this maid felt far more strongly toward her master than even Lady Pheros.

'What a mess of a household. But I cannot say that as well since my situation is just as bad when it comes to the servants of the Dirac household.' ｆ𝓇𝘦ℯ𝙬𝑒𝐛n𝐨νe𝙡.c𝑜𝗺

But there was a big difference between Elysia's situation and Lady Pheros's. The servants in the Dirac household might not like Elysia but they would never say it out aloud now.

Or would they act on it since Elysia had her brother's support and her powers to defend herself?

But it did not seem like Lady Pheros had anything of that sort available to her. And that was a huge disadvantage for the Noble Lady. It seemed bad enough that even normal servants were walking all over her.

"I am sure Lord Pheros is a lovely person and I would like to meet him as soon as possible. Can you take us to him?"

The maid looked caught off-guard and her expression closed off to see Elysia's enthusiasm. She was finally looking at Elysia like she was a threat and Elysia found it hilarious.

Enma sounded like he was dying behind her while Sorias's low-voiced mutters asked Elysia to back down.

But what was done was done and Elysia did not mind playing a role she was hinting at.

"Of course, my lady can meet Lord Pheros. I will go out and inform him of your visit right now. But please don't be too disappointed if he refuses to see you right now. Lord Pheros is a busy man and he needs his time."

The servant now talked like Elysia was a kid and did not know what was right and wrong.

It was a good tactic but it would not work on Elysia who had seen far more than she should have at her age. She just looked back at the servant calmly which made the servant finally take action and run away to call Lord Baron.

"You do know that she will try to stall your meeting with the Baron? She might not look like it but she is the head maid."

"I know. But I am counting on the Baron's greed winning over his affection toward his head maid. I am sure we will be called in soon."

And it was just like Elysia predicted. The maid exited the parlor room with a sullen face as she called the group to head inside.

Elysia could tell that she was not happy to be doing this but had no other choice.

She gave both Elysia and Lady Pheros a stinky eye as she opened the door and gestured them to enter the parlor.

"My lord is waiting inside."
