When the Villainess Died, the Male Lead Went Crazy

rial palace?

I don’t know which of these stories were true and which were false.

The only thing that didn’t change was me, who stood still for 5 years.

“You can go in here.”

“Yes.”

 

Perhaps, luckily, or not, I’m imprisoned across from my father, Duke Percival.
There was a glass wall, and the inside was clearly visible.
It looked quite luxurious, but it was so clean that I wondered if it was really a prison.

 

“Reducing prison quality doesn’t mean lowering the crime rate.”

“What are you talking about, Wife?”

“Literally.
After being released from prison, the recidivism rate does not go down.
On the contrary, the higher the quality of the prison, the higher the chance of being rehabilitated when released again.”

 

Kylian didn’t seem to believe me, but when I showed him the results, he agreed.
I had only read a few books about prisons in European countries in my previous life.
But I didn’t know it would work so well.

There was also a bookshelf inside the prison, and the bookshelf was full of books.
If it wasn’t for Duke Percival, who was staring at me from the other side, I might have been reading a book quite comfortably.

Suddenly, the feeling that was pulling my arm became clearer, and I spoke to the knight who was taking me.

“You said a week?”

“Yes.”

“I see.”

“The food is served only at set times.
And at 11 o’clock, the lights go out all at once.”

“All right.”

As I went inside with a dry answer, the glass door closed with a click.

Then everything went quiet.
On this floor, it was only me and Duke Percival.
Kylian must have imprisoned me here on purpose.
Because if he thinks I’m Lilith, it’s hard to see Duke Percival

“You look good.”

He said as he lowered the book he was reading with his legs crossed.
Not weird.
It’s obviously a sarcastic remark, and it was all on his face that he hated me.

Perhaps it was because it reminded me of the wrinkled face, gray hair, and the face that always gave me a gentle smile.

 

“Don’t be harsh on Kylian.
He is my husband now.”

“He is just an excuse.
Don’t give him too much thought, I can not trust the people of the imperial family.”

“Kylian is different.”

“This Father of yours used to believe so, just like you.
But the reward for my faith was my sister’s demise.
I can’t lose you like that.”

 

Duke Percival’s love for his daughter was fierce.
Maybe it’s because I’m the only one left who he really thinks of as a family.
I’m sorry for the Duke, but I was shot for Kylian.
But thanks to that, Duke Percival is still alive.

According to the original story, Father should have died sooner or later.

“Dad.”

“You’re still out of your mind even when you’re locked up.”

“You still do it.”

“…….”

“You like to wrinkle one eyebrow when you smile.”

It didn’t matter if he looked incredulous.
Because that’s what I really wanted to say.
Seeing that I can say what I want to say without feeling regretful, the current situation may not be so bad.

“Do you know why Kylian locked you up here, Dad?”

“…….”

“It’s a deal to save my body.
He also found my diary.”

“…….”

He was approaching the window.
We were one hallway away, but still quite close.
He came closer and was staring at me through the glass, somehow sad and happy.

“I’m sorry, really.”

“…Seeing that you’re still talking lots of nonsense, it seems you really have gone insane.”

He lost interest and turned his back and went back to the sofa where he had been sitting.
So I smiled and found a book on the bookshelf behind my back.

Originally, it was something I didn’t want to see when I was the young duke, but it looked interesting when I had time to read it.
Also, people should be able to relax.
When I’m reborn as a human in the next life, I want to live doing something a little unusual.

I went back and forth a few times, gently touching what was stuck in my fingertips.
Then I felt something strange in the palm of my hand.
Lilith’s body is full of divine power.
Then I could find enchanted items.

It seemed that something enchanted was inside.
I stretched out my hand again to find it, trying to find it.
But I didn’t feel it.
Thinking that it was no mistake, I closed my eyes and ran my hand over the books again.

Then, I felt a strong magical energy from the one in the center of the uppermost part.

When I opened my eyes and stretched out my hand, I couldn’t get it out with only my fingertips, probably because Lilith’s body was smaller than mine.
So I jumped up and tapped with my fingertips to get it to come out little by little.

“Uh!”

It was pushed out a little bit every time I touched my fingertips like that a few times.

In the last tap, it fell down.

“Ack!”

It wasn’t just one book that was spilling over my head.
After about three books hit my body, I frowned and got up from the floor.
As I woke up, I saw a familiar cover and picked it up in my hand.

“Huh? This?”

“Don’t touch it!”

It was Kylian who spoke to me with a surprised face.

“Don’t touch that diary.”

Why is this here? My diary.

Perhaps it was clear that there was a spell that alerted him when someone touched the diary.
Seeing that he ran here straight away.
