Death Is The Only Ending For The Villain

Chapter ss-19: Side Story 19

After exiting the Duke’s office, Penelope walked straight to the hall with the central staircase to climb into her room. It was as soon as she had left the long hallway that she heard something."Miss."A familiar voice called her. It was the butler. Penelope paused at the scene in front of her. From the entrance of the hallway to the central staircase, all employees of the duchy stood in rows on both sides."What are you doing?" Penelope looked around and asked. Everyone was looking at her with strangely tense faces. At that moment, the leading butler suddenly bowed in front of her, shouting loudly."You had a hard time coming. Welcome home, young lady.""Welcome back, Young Miss!" As soon as the butler’s cry came to an end, all the employees bowed down and shouted loudly. It was a hearty welcome, as if they were welcoming the royal family’Did you have any orders from the Duke? You’re all doing things that you haven’t done before.’Embarrassed, Penelope stared at them blankly. She saw a mix of employees, who had not greeted her each time she passed by or face-to-face, bow down. In the past, this change would not have been too bad. It would have been proof that her fame had risen.But maybe it’s because she had a pretty satisfying life at the Imperial Palace. The sudden change of attitude of the Duke’s people was not very touching.’Now it’s really over.’Visit li/ght/novelpub[.]com for a better experienceAt the same time, Penelope felt that all of the lingering feelings from the place were all gone. Rather than regret or anger, she was just relieved."Get up and do your jobs. I just stopped by because I had something to do." Penelope spoke in a cold voice as she walked towards the middle. The butler, who was bending over, hurriedly followed."Young Miss,. I prepared a meal when I heard that you were coming..."Meanwhile, when she arrived at the stairs, Penelope stepped up the stairs and indifferently responded."Don’t worry, I’m going back to the Imperial Palace to eat." As she looked back at the butler, Penelope could see him look at her with a puzzled expression.It was the same with the butler.Like people she hadn’t seen in a long time and didn’t know that she’d be so cold-hearted. ’That’s funny. Why did you think I would eat at this corner of the house?’She had been through some things for dinner. What’s the matter with them? Contrary to what she thought, however, she didn’t actually get a false note. But it wasn’t like a blow that would make her feel better.Penelope just didn’t feel anything.Visit light/no/velp/ub[.]com for a better experienceLike a distant stranger, just like it was originally."...Oh, I see, My Lady." The butler, who had been silent for a long time, answered with a heavy voice. He asked again, trying to hide his sad face."Would you like to go up to your room, then?" "Yes. But where is Emily?""It seems like she is still cleaning your room. I have been informed that you were coming all of a sudden...I will tell them that you are going up and to come down now.""Okay. Well, I’m going up." Penelope didn’t intend to stay long anyway. She turned around without delay and climbed the remaining stairs."Is there anything else I can do?" The butler asked as he annoyingly followed her. Penelope slowed down for a moment, as a thought had struck her."The last time I saw you. Did you get the letter? I need you to bring me the mining ledger in a few minutes.""Okay." When she gave him something to do, the butler, who was in a state of anxiety, finally turn around with a slightly brighter face. Penelope quickened her steps up the stairs. She could feel the gazes watching her in the back of her head, but she was indifferent.As always, it was none of her business.Fortunately, it wasn’t him. "...Young duke."
