Nevermore Manor.

It was once a mansion where I often visited with friends, but now to me, this place was no different from a den of poisonous snakes.

From Raoul’s idiot’s fiancee to the other adults in this family. They were all like snakes, so I just wanted to grab their heads and drop them from the sky.

Dirty bastards who are always plotting dirty things behind people’s backs and taking advantage of other people’s weaknesses.

Well, I’m not the only one who hates these snake bastards, but if you were to rank them in disgust, I was confident that they would come in first place.

“… Tell this to the head of the family. Camilla of the Duke of Argos has arrived.”

“The head of the family is currently meeting a distinguished guest…”

“Then tell her that her friend is here. As your sister’s friend, I ask you to choose whether to jump out before they hit you a few times or let them in.”

Since when did that scruffy little kid get into a position where he can make people wait?

If it weren’t for Raoul, I felt like a bitch watching this girl who would have died so arrogantly… like shit.

“Or should I pick off the head of that VIP? Then we can meet.”

To be honest, I felt like I would feel better if I got rid of all the arrogant things about nobles. These bastards are just enjoying the peace we have achieved.

Pigs who curse my comrades for not sacrificing anything.

Without paying any price, I could kill those who got on the wagon called peace without feeling guilty.

“Go and tell it right away. If it doesn’t come out, they say they will make grilled skewers for that VIP.”

“I don’t think that’s necessary. Because my business is already over.”

“Ah… really.”

Because I heard the voice I hate most in the world, my expression naturally crumpled.

“Isn’t it rude to look at people with dirty eyes, young lady?”

Latri Bergé. Raul’s mother and one of the two people I hated most in the country.

He had the same facial features as Raoul and hair like the night sky, but he was a fucking bitch.

Although he was said to have been a knight who had traveled the battlefield with my father in the past, he was a fucking bitch.

In terms of presence and appearance, he was the same as when he was young, but he was still a fucking bitch.

“Okay. I also know a woman who looks at her son that way… No, I know a woman who is like an insignificant object.”

“Is that so? I don’t know who that woman is, but it’s pitiful that she’s having an affair with you.”

“It would be troublesome if that woman pretended to be miserable. If I see that woman acting miserable, I’ll be so angry that I’ll kill her.”

“If you can’t kill someone, the thorns on your tongue resemble someone I know. Friends seem to be starting to resemble each other.”

For a moment, I almost released the current I was suppressing.

This is why a motherfucker should only see one person a week. Because meeting more than two motherfuckers a week isn’t good for your mental health.

I had already met my brother yesterday, and this woman was testing my patience, and it was a terrible experience.

“… Didn’t the head of this snake mansion have some business to attend to? ”

“Yes, but I am so stressed right now that I am debating whether to go in or not. I feel like if we continue like this today, there will be a real murder.”

Thinking about how I was feeling right now, I felt like I was going to stab this woman or that woman.

No, after stabbing both of them, I will also go and stab my brother who is looking at the documents at home. It would be easier to handle everything at once, as I already have work to do.

“That wicked girl is preparing a very interesting prank.”

This was unexpected. This woman, who was more callous than Raoul, frowned slightly. That was a pretty sweet expression. I’ll have to tell Asher and Penelope later.

“After all, the enemy of a fucking bitch is a fucking bitch…”

“Yes?”

“Oh, I’m sorry. I’m a bit like my brother, so sometimes I speak bluntly.”

My brother was a very convenient person to use in times like this.

“Young-ae is truly a free-spirited person. It would be great if friends could understand each other.”

For your information, this is like swearing at me and calling me a headless wild boar.

Well, I was always called the damn lady, but I wasn’t even angry anymore.

A corrupt emperor, a crippled prostitute, a monster, and a crazy girl… It was quite a masterpiece. This country calls us that.

“Then let’s take a look. Even if you are concerned about your son’s business, don’t even think about looking for it.”

“I don’t think you interfered. Of course, that won’t happen.”

As she left, she shook off the anger that remained faintly in her eyes.

Of course, the target of that anger was not me, but the scruffy kid who owned this mansion.

“… How great it would be if they bit each other to death.”

I was able to climb the stairs and arrive in front of the matriarch’s room, suppressing the electricity and disgust that were trying to escape.

I suppressed the desire to break down the door and was barely able to knock.

Then, what was heard was not that damned kid’s voice, but the voice of an old servant.

“The head of the family has granted permission for an audience.”

… At this rate, even if they just kill everyone, wouldn’t they forgive not only Raoul but also the girl who went to heaven first?

I immediately kicked the door and smashed it, and only after clearing the rising dust was I able to check out that handsome pair again.

“Rosie Nevermore.”

“… The price of the door will be charged separately to the Duke of Argos.”

Rosie Nevermore.

My best friend’s younger sister, Raoul’s fiancée, or rather, the woman who was to become his fiancée, was a bitch.

Although she was called the most beautiful woman in the empire, she was a bitch worse than my older sister.

She was called the Platinum Lion because she had white and blonde hair, golden eyes, and an alluring appearance, but to me, she was just a bitch.

Where would a lion live with a large lump of fat on its chest? That was just a bitch.

Well, to sum it up easily, she was just a pretty bitch.

“You can charge as much as you want for that. Anyway, it’s my brother who handles things like that.”

“I guess so. The young lady’s brother was brilliant enough to take responsibility for all supplies and administration during the war, but the young lady was weak in that regard.”

I didn’t know that I would already miss Raoul.

No, my brother would be better off these bitches.

“… You’ve already grown a lot by arguing.”

“Could it be that the young lady who has not yet been married is old?”

Seriously, at this level, I felt like even if I stabbed him once with a spear, everyone would defend him and say it was worth it. It can be dangerous to stab with a blade, so use the blunt part of the handle.

No, I’ll have to beat it later. First of all, you have to have two eyes and a healthy mind to read Raoul’s letter.

I suppressed my anger with superhuman patience and took out the letter with trembling hands. This was the first time I realized how patient I was.

“Your fiance sent a letter. This is a letter I wrote all night long, so please think about it and read it several times.”

“Ah, is this a letter from him?”

This foolish little boy worked with his right hand and snatched the letter I handed him with his left hand.

Because my eyes were still focused on the documents and not me, I felt like a bitch to the point where I wanted to gouge out my eyes.

If this bitch and Raoul get married and the child born from them inherits both of their personalities… it was truly terrifying to even imagine. It’s a living disaster.

“It’s definitely a break-up of the engagement.”

And Rosie burned the letter Raoul wrote by holding it to the candle without even reading it.

“Not worth reading.”

I literally smashed the desk that this son of a bitch was working on.

“Hey.”

“…. I liked the desk, but I will charge for this too. Because it is made of ivory, it is quite expensive.”

“Hey.”

I just grabbed her by the collar.

“You know what you did and are you making a fuss about the price of the desk? Ask for condolence money?”

“There is no way condolence money can be used to pay for the items you destroyed, right? Are you so barbaric that you don’t even know that?”

“It looks like you’re just playing with words now?”

“I burned it because I knew what it was about. I thought there would be no problem since I would also accept the break-up of the engagement. Is there something wrong with my behavior?”

This is why noble bastards…! I’m a noble too, but these bastards, especially these bastards…!

They were just really disillusioned bastards.

“If not, did he at least send me a courtship letter? If it wasn’t a request to break off the engagement, I would gladly apologize.”

“You little guy, watch your mouth. You guys, we are the ones who grew up and fought. Even if you can’t show respect, try to show at least some courtesy.”

“It’s the bare minimum of courtesy… Is the person who said that breaking down the door and desk and grabbing you by the collar?”

“… I’m desperately trying to resist destroying your head right now.”

If it weren’t for Raoul and this bitch’s older sister, he would have smashed his head in the pasture and scattered his brains.

“Yes, you are a hero, Raoul.”

Even though I was holding her by the collar, this bitch didn’t change her expression and started shooting.

“At the same time, he is the murderer who killed my sister.”

That… was an undeniable fact.

But it didn’t mean we had anything to say.

Raoul also sent several letters about the day’s events… but judging by the bitch’s attitude, it was clear that he burned them without even reading them.

“Know yourself well. What happened that day can’t be helped…!”

“The world is a result, young lady. No matter what circumstances are added, the result does not change that he killed my sister.”

“… Oh, that’s right. You’re so good.”

I thought it would be more beneficial to have a discussion with my brother than to talk to this bitch.

Of course, retreating like this didn’t suit my temperament, so I decided to shoot him a few words.

“By the way. They say the world is a result. But why are you ignoring the result that you became the head of the family thanks to Raoul?”

“That’s…”

“No matter what circumstances are added, the result does not change.”

“……”

It was exactly as my brother said. Even if that person is annoying, the way they look at people is accurate.

Because my brother evaluated this bitch like this in his notebook. ‘He is capable, but his behavior is poor.’

It was exactly as he said.

“… I will remember today’s rudeness, young lady.”

“As much as you want. But if you can’t bite, don’t bark in the first place.”

“Yes. I think so.”

When I let go and turned away, Rosie said:

“Now that I think about it, it is the anniversary of the death of my predecessor… no, my predecessor, Count Bergé.”

“… Because I’m not a detail-oriented person who even memorizes the anniversary of someone else’s father’s death.”

“I will definitely show you interesting things. To you and to that guy.”

“Do whatever you want. Oh and I said it just now. If you can’t bite, don’t bark. But…”

I sprayed electricity and shattered the window behind her into pieces.

“I bite and then bark.”
