Get Ahead of the Fallen Heroine and Make the Bull-Headed Man the Victim

57. The Princess is at a Delicate Age Prone to Daydreaming

As a princess, Valentina didn’t need to work, but her personality often led her into trouble.

Thus, even without the interference of the evil god, she lived a very fulfilling life every day.

And because her life was so fulfilling, Valentina actually had very little time to think about her own matters.

Goals, ideals, and the like were completely absent.

Previously, she thought that since she wasn’t popular in the palace, she might as well go out and have an adventure.

But the sudden appearance of the evil god completely changed her life.

It also made her start to consider more about her own affairs.

After finishing a day of ‘adventure’ in the capital, bidding farewell to her childhood friend Clyde and greeting her private tutor Allen, Valentina returned to her room to prepare for rest.

Valentina took off her battle outfit, which didn’t serve much purpose other than to leave a majestic impression, and removed her ornate high-heeled boots, sitting lightly on the edge of her bed in just her thin undergarments.

However, just as she was about to relax, she found herself unconsciously looking towards the spot in her room where the evil god had once appeared.

Upon careful reflection, it seemed that in the past, it was always the evil god who pulled her into his temple, but this time, it felt like the evil god was appearing in her room for the first time to converse with her.

As a result, during this first encounter in her room, she inadvertently let her emotions get the better of her and spoke some very arrogant words to him.

“Ah! What was I thinking? Why did I say such things back then…”

Just the thought of having spoken so recklessly in front of a deity made Valentina want to bury herself in the ground out of shame.

But since that was impossible, she could only hug her pillow tightly and bury her head deep into it.

She truly regretted the harsh words she had thrown at Noah.

After calming down and reflecting, it seemed she hadn’t suffered any actual loss from this incident; it appeared she had wasted her energy without achieving her initial goal of preventing the evil god from targeting other women.

However, it was likely that the haughty Dilia would now be forced to coexist with her amicably.

Moreover, the nobles would probably temper their bullying of the common people out of fear of secrets being leaked.

Mr. Allen and Clyde had also not suffered any harm.

From an outsider’s perspective, she had practically won.

All of this could be attributed to the results brought about by the evil god; ultimately, it was because she had been compelled to accept inhuman power to defeat Prince Mori, allowing her to turn the tables in this incident using the intelligence from Martina and Marlow.

Yet, due to a moment of inner irritation, she had spoken excessively to the evil god.

The more she thought about it, the more ashamed she felt.

She didn’t believe the evil god was helping her without ulterior motives, but that was beside the point.

Disrespecting a deity was inherently an act of great rebellion, especially against one who had shown her kindness… even if that deity was one who constantly irritated her.

She didn’t know what had come over her at that moment; she had clearly acted in a way she wouldn’t normally have.

In the past, no matter how angry or frustrated she was, she would never have expressed her dissatisfaction so openly.

“…I must really be sick.”

Burying her head and face deep into the soft pillow, the girl let out a voice that was slightly weaker, contrasting with the dignified impression she presented to others.

This kind of worry was certainly not something she could share with anyone.

In fact, she began to think that either the evil god should quickly do something heinous to make her completely regard him as a target to be vanquished, or their relationship could become a bit more amicable.

This contradictory feeling of wanting to utterly despise him while also wanting to get along with him was truly troubling for Valentina.

She had never experienced such complex emotions before.

Unlike the simple sense of security she felt with Mr. Allen and Clyde, she didn’t know whether this feeling was good or bad.

But one thing she was certain of was that she intended to apologize to the evil god, especially for the words ‘Oh, great deity who has already failed once.’

Yet she didn’t know how to begin.

Because she always felt that no matter what she said, the evil god would respond with a flippant, carefree attitude, completely oblivious to what he was truly thinking.

It was so unfair that only she bore this sense of guilt!

The evil god actually feels guilty about toying with her!

The divine being is truly impressive!

Not a hint of embarrassment at all!

“Ah… no, why am I getting angry again? I clearly wanted to apologize…”

Noticing that she seemed to have accidentally gotten angry again, the princess hurriedly buried her face in the pillow and shook her head vigorously, feeling frustrated by her unexpected helplessness.

She tossed the pillow aside, leaned back, and spread her arms wide, falling back in a ‘big’ shape.

At this moment, Valentina’s face was filled with sorrow and confusion; she felt she must be ill to be so agitated over such trivial matters.

If only she could be like that evil god and not feel guilty at all!

She actually wanted to not care, but she just couldn’t do it.

Though the chances were slim, the thought that the evil god might be hurt by her words made her feel uneasy.

“Damn that evil god, making me so troubled! I might as well just stub my little toe on the bedpost!”

“What a pity, Your Highness. For someone of my remarkable caliber, not only is that kind of thing unlikely to happen, but even if it did, I certainly wouldn’t be in so much pain that I’d be cursing while squatting down to hold my little toe.”

“!?”

Hearing Noah’s infuriatingly arrogant voice, the princess, who had planned to close her eyes and empty her mind, quickly sat up in a panic.

When she looked in the direction of the voice in surprise, she found the source of her troubles brazenly invading her absolute private space once again.

And even grinning mischievously!

“However, I didn’t expect that the esteemed princess would utter such venomous words. It seems that you and I are of the same kind? Or perhaps you’re even worse than I am? I wouldn’t curse others like that~”

Noah feigned surprise, spreading his hands while shaking his head in a way that suggested admiration for her lack of decency.

“N-No! That’s not it!”

At that moment, her feelings were akin to having her diary discovered by the last person she wanted to see it; the princess’s face turned bright red with intense shame, and her delicate, graceful hands flailed in front of her chest, trying to explain that she wasn’t that kind of malicious person.

“Hmm, hmm, that’s not it. I know, usually, criminals say that.”

Facing Valentina’s flustered state, Noah nodded to himself as if to say, “Ah, you don’t need to say more; I understand.”

Don’t just assume others are criminals! By the way, you’re the criminal here, okay!

Just as the princess was about to shout out in embarrassment, Noah’s mocking skills were off cooldown.

“Ah, by the way, Your Highness, didn’t anyone tell you not to lie down like that while wearing a skirt? I can see everything, you know. How unexpectedly mature of you! Oh dear, I didn’t expect it to be that kind of style.”

“???!”

Noah, who had already seen Valentina worrying through the monitor, naturally chose to continue being annoying to prevent her from worrying further.

As expected, the princess definitely wouldn’t want to apologize to Noah now.

It’s more like I’ve slightly overdone it.

Right now, the blushing princess is tightly pressing the center of her dress while glaring at him with a look of rage that seems to want to beat him into amnesia.

Haha, what a pity, but it’s just a thought after all!

No matter how much she kicks him with those beautiful legs in black stockings, she can’t kick him into forgetting!

PS. Huh? Why does it feel like the updates are increasing more and more? I wanted the monthly tickets, but I didn’t expect it to escalate to this extent…

I completely didn’t anticipate this situation; had I known, I would have freed up a bit more time over the weekend…

Adding one more update for ten monthly tickets really feels a bit hasty, doesn’t it…

But since I’ve already said I’d add one more for ten monthly tickets, I definitely won’t change it!

Although I currently owe about 16 updates, which is a staggering number, I will definitely strive to repay the extra updates!

However, it’s still impossible to catch up in a short time, so I hope all the readers can forgive me for choosing to repay over the long term.

Of course, I’m also very grateful to the readers who have given me fire tickets. Once I’ve caught up on the monthly ticket updates, I’ll add updates based on the standard of 1000 fire tickets for one update.

So today’s update ends here; I’ll continue tomorrow!

(Please don’t say it’s already tomorrow! As long as I haven’t slept, it doesn’t count as the next day!)
