I’m a Villainess but So Popular-Chapter 11

Episode 11

Translator : Missme Editor : Aru

Spade’s special magic is dealing with elements 4.

Among them, however, the magic that Spade devoted the most was the magic of fire.

‘A fire of this size would be better to reduce the size of the fire itself than to generate water right away.’

According to such thoughts, the magic to absorb fire was activated.

There was a warning that excessive use could cause burns, but it was an urgent situation.

As soon as I used magic, the fire, which was dancing with its own red tongue, made a long, thin pillar and began to be sucked into my hands.

When the spark splashed, the people stepped back and shouted, and roared while watching my appearance.

‘How much can I consume………..’

The more fire was absorbed, the more heat felt in both hands.

At first, my warm palms grew hotter and I glanced toward Cassius.

He quickly noticed that so he created water with magic and sprinkled it on himself, looking at me and shouting.

“Yerine! I’ll go in there!”

“You have to be careful!”

I told Cassius to be careful, and I began to absorb the fire around the store’s entrance with particular care.

My palms were already burning. The fire was reduced to a much smaller size than before, but it was still a menace.

“Just a little more…”

When the fire was finally reduced to half the size of the first half, I immediately lifted the spell and came to mind with another magic circle.

The magic of generating large quantities of water.

Recalling the magic as precisely and most distinctly as I could, I concentrated my whole mind on my fingertips, drawing the strength that was there.

Then a huge drop of water, swollen like a large bubble, cooled off the fingertips and poured out its size.

The downside of this magic is that I have to keep my mind focused and think of the magic circle while creating the water. To ignore the sound of people and the sound of fire burning as much as possible, try swelling the drops of water in front of me.

‘As much as possible.’

People couldn’t shut their mouths because they were surprised to see me spouting water droplets.

“How could she use such magic…….. A nobility…..? A wanderer……..?”

“Amazing…….. How could she do such huge magic……… ”

Soon when the droplets became so heavy that I could no longer hold on to my fingertips, I spilt all the water over the burning store.

With the sound of “patters” as if it were raining, I heard the water clapping against the wall and the flames that were gnawing at the interior wall of the store soon disappeared.

At the same time, Cassius opened the door and came out with a faint man.

Then those who appeared to be his family cried and were driven around Cassius, and Cassius carefully held him in the arms of his family.

“It’s not life-threatening. He’ll just need to go see a doctor later.”

Cassius, who ran straight towards me after that, examined my condition.

“Are you all right, Yerine?”

I was a little bit tired using a fairly large scale of magic, but other than that, I was fine.

My palms were cooled down unintentionally.

“Yes, I’m okay–”

At that moment, there was a loud shout of applause and cheers.

“That’s cool!”

“Great job!”

“If it wasn’t for you, the fire would have spread all around the village!”

Looking back, the people who were screaming earlier gathered and clapped for me.

I think it’s deja vu at the appointment ceremony.

As I looked at people without saying anything, some began to whisper at each other, clapping their hands.

“But those red eyes–”

“But she’s still pretty, isn’t it? I was a little surprised when I first saw her, but she’s charming when I see her again–”

“That’s right. She was really cool when she was using magic. -”

At that time, I couldn’t believe someone stopped clapping and clapping.

“That purple hair…….!”

In an instant the bowels were quiet, and everyone’s attention was on me and my hair.

“By any chance, the daughter of the Duke of Spade……?”

There was a loud, breathing sound all over the place. Subsequently, people began to babble in each other’s ears, whispering ‘really?’ and ‘Oh, my God.’

“But she’s sick–”

“So she lost her seat to those damned Postades–”

Apparently, I saw the Postade family and heard clearly what they called “damn” and “the bastards.”

Judging from the response, it was clear that the management of the land had been poor.

“They took a lot of tax money after the death of the former duke–”

“Then we’re gonna be okay now that his daughter’s back–”

Anyway, I couldn’t help but reveal my name because of this situation.

Yeah, well, it doesn’t matter because they’re my people anyway.

‘My plan to avoid the public eye eventually became a piece of tissue.’

“Well, Ehm–”

When I opened my mouth, in an instant people shut up and quieted down. They all looked at me with sparkling eyes. It’s a bit burdensome, but it seems like kindergarteners waiting for the teacher to tell them.

“I’m Yerine Spade.”

Again the people started to talk again, and I raised my hand to continue the story.

“As far as I know, this territory has been managed by the Postade family, but from now on I have officially taken over the seat as a successor to the Spade family. I look forward to your kind cooperation.”

Then I bowed briefly to the people and again came out in a thunderous roar.

“She’s finally back!!”

“Good-bye to those bastards now!”

“How beautiful, Princess!”

“That’s wonderful!

As I scratched my head with embarrassment and made a troubled face, Cassius patted my shoulder and talked playfully.

“You’re popular, Yerine.”

“Oh, well, yes.”

“I don’t like it when other guys see you, but that’s enough because I saw you using magic.”

In the midst of this, he is still consistently obsessed.

“That was cool, Yerine.”

Looking at Cassius’s dazzling face with a big smile on his teeth, and hearing the shouts of the people, I felt confused but warm at the same time.

***

“So this is…… Is that the thing?”

I had a rough idea, but when I arrived at the mansion, the thing Cassius had given me was a bundle of papers full of numbers.

“What exactly is this?”

“Look for yourself.”

said Cassius with a grin.

I immediately turned over the page of the document, wondering how confident he was and how much he wanted to be praised.

And the moment I saw the sender of the document, I was surprised.

“This is…..!”

The originator of the document was ‘Act as The Duke of Spade, Marilyn Postade.’

Surprised, I hurry up and search for the recipient of the document, with sparkling black letters there.

It’s read, “Tigris Imperial Finance Department.”

“In the meantime, the financial reports that the Postade family sent to the Empire……..”

Cacius, who heard me recite low, said confidently with a confident smile.

“After the death of the former Duke of Spade, I brought all the financial reports of the Spade duke that Postade submitted to the Empire before the appointment ceremony.”

And he rose from his seat waving his shiny black hair and gently grasping my hand.

“If this is the case, it can be compared to the butler’s records and reports submitted by the Postade Family to the Imperial Court.”

That’s right.

With this, for sure, it can be ended.

“I’m sure there’s a void somewhere to catch their fault. Apparently, they’re not decent people.”

“That’s right. So I wanted to find some solid evidence.”

I threatened to get the postade, but I actually hesitated a little bit.

I had to proceed with a civil suit to claim family alimony. The process is determined and it won’t be easy. Of course, I knew I would win the lawsuit, but I didn’t want to put my efforts into it.

I hurriedly brought in the books and opened a page with financial records of the same period as the financial report. And rolled up the corners of my mouth and smiled.

“I found it.”

However, embezzlement of public funds is a different story.

Even if I don’t necessarily become a plaintiff and lead the lawsuit, I can report that the Postade family’s self-described public money paid by the Empire to the Spades was used by Countess Postade for her private use.

“Thank you, Cassius. I was wondering if I should go to the Finance Department myself because I’m pretty sure they did, but I didn’t have solid evidence.”

This concludes Yerine’s revenge.

Cut off the Postade’s funding strings and remove any chance for their resurrection, and the countess will have to rot in prison for a considerable period of time.

“Casius……this…..didn’t you have a hard time getting it?”

Cassius answered with shrugging.

“A little? It didn’t take much, but it was a little hard to find almost a decade’s worth of reports.”

I looked into the report in front of my eyes and thought.

‘He’s useful as a royal family.….’

Surely it would have been quite a long delay if I had tried to go to the capital myself and get a report.

Thanks to the title “The Second Prince,” Cassius could have received it in about a day.

“But this is legitimate, right?”

“Don’t worry. It’s all approved. We’ve gone through all the procedures. Just think it happened so fast.”

Feeling deep sympathy and gratitude to the finance ministry officials who would have done their chores in tears thanks to Cassius, I vowed to quickly raise financial reports in the future.

“But, Yerine, you said the break-up procedure itself was almost over, right?”

“Oh, that’s right. That’s true.”

Then Cassius glanced at me, sweeping his chin with his long fingers as if he had become interested.

“So, what are you going to do from now on?”

After briefly turning the simulation into my head, I looked at Cassius and answered in a refreshing voice.

“I’ll have to go to the capital first.”

“And?”

When I saw a sudden appearance in front of the door, I imagined the faces of the Leon and the Postade family, who would turn white, and laughed.

“I’m going to bring up this legitimate evidence and accuse the Postade family of embezzlement of public funds. Then the Empire will take care of itself. I’ll probably just have to be a witness.”

In my words, Cassius listened and nodded.

“and finally–”

I thumped down the report on the table.

“With this as an excuse, I will submit a petition to the court to permanently deprive the Postade Family of their status as the successor to the Spade Family.”

Never, step in, in this house, again.
