The Legendary Villainess Who Vanished on the Guillotine, in Her Second Life She Wishes for Peace as

Chapter 45: Outburst — Part 2

Everyone present was left speechless. I couldn’t say anything because Yserra-sama’s words were beyond comprehension.

Read Surviving in Woman's world...

Camilo killed Yserra-sama and Prince Agustin? In his first life?

What is that? What does it mean? Killed, as in…

That can’t be right.

——That can’t be right!

“S-Stop lying…”

My strained voice was shaking. Blinded by anger, I stood up despite Alondra’s attempts to restrain me.

“Stop telling such terrible lies! Camilo would never do something like that!”

I didn’t even care that acknowledging this anger meant acknowledging memories from my first life.

I couldn’t bear to see Camilo being vilified. I wanted to protect him.

“Who would believe such a thing? Camilo is a kind person. He would never insult anyone!”

I shouted without realizing that every word I said was tearing him apart.

“If you say any more strange things, I won’t forgive you…!”

By the time I finished speaking, I was completely out of breath. I think it was the first time in my entire life that I had been so angry with someone.

Only my rough breathing filled the quiet courtyard. Alondra quickly stood up and pulled my uninjured arm. She told me to stop because it was hurting my wound, but I didn’t pay attention to her and continued to glare at Yserra-sama.

I wonder what she thought of my behavior. Yserra-sama, who didn’t seem particularly moved, smiled and even chuckled a little.

Perhaps she recognized her defeat and that’s she was relentless.

“Haha, a masterpiece. You’ve made some good friends in this life, haven’t you?”

“Enough already——”

“Oh, never mind, it’s too bothersome to argue with you. Hey, it’s up to you to believe in your lover, but…look at his face.”

Finally, I realized that even Camilo wasn’t in my line of sight.

What do you mean, look at your face? Without understanding the meaning behind those words, I looked up at Camilo, who had somehow stood up right next to me.

There, his face had turned pale as if he had just met a demon.

He wouldn’t even meet my eyes. Looking down slightly, his young grass-colored eyes, now shaded, were muddy like dirt.

“…Camilo?”

Why. Why are you making that face?

“What’s wrong…? Did you maybe get hurt somewhere?”

My voice, finally squeezed out, was embarrassingly hoarse.

Despite trying to talk to him, he didn’t respond at all. Something was wrong. Camilo always used to listen to me with a smile on his face.

“Hahaha, it’s really a masterpiece! You believe in people so easily, like a fool! You can’t trust anything about humans——.”

“Will you shut up for a minute?”

Elias-sama made a quick move and struck Yserra-sama’s neck with a knifehand strike. I couldn’t feel anything looking at the fallen and motionless witch, and I just stared at Camilo.

I wonder if I was just being foolishly mistaken.

Come to think of it, it was that time. After Luna’s memory didn’t return, we had our first meeting with the four of us.

As we piled up speculations about our first memories, Elias-sama said something like this:

“Hey Camilo, if time has gone back thanks to you, there’s a possibility that you’re the axis concerning the memories, right?”

In response to that, Alondra nodded and said,

“That’s quite possible. Camilo-dono, do you have any idea about it?”

“It would be nice if you could tell us more about your first life.”

With keen interest, the two of them asked Camilo, who made an awkward face for just a moment.

At that time, I thought, “Maybe it’s because he had a lover.” That’s why he made such an apologetic face at me.

“…Well, let’s see. Nothing really unusual happened. I lived as a dragon knight and died as one. That’s all.”

“Oh, really? Did you die on the battlefield?”

“Well, something like that.”

Probably everyone noticed the bitter smile that faded away as he talked about the past.

That’s why we couldn’t delve into it any further. I didn’t think it would bring up memories of death on the battlefield, and even after finding out that Camilo had no lover in his first life, I had forgotten about it.

Above all, Camilo’s behavior earlier. His eyes, which had attacked Yserra-sama, clearly held the killing intent of an enemy.

“Camilo…it’s a lie, right…?”

I don’t remember what words I screamed out just now.

That Camilo could never do something like that. I poured out my innermost feelings, preserving the sense that his behavior was the lowest and most despicable.

It must be a lie.

Please say it’s not true.

No, maybe it was all a dream.

I selfishly wished to go back in time at that moment, staring desperately into his pale green eyes.

“I’m sorry, Letty.”

The answer that came back was cruel.

I felt like I was falling to the ground as if my foothold had crumbled, and my mind went blank.

“What Miss Yserra said is true. I killed the two of them for revenge, and was soon killed by the Royal Guards.”

Alondra let out a small gasp, and Elias-sama narrowed his eyes at the edge of his vision.

Camilo smiled faintly, as if he had given up on everything.

“I’m glad Letty is safe.”

Hey, Camilo.

Please don’t smile so sadly like that.

Although I wanted to scream out my feelings, I couldn’t say anything because of the pain that felt like my chest was being squeezed.

I didn’t want to hurt Camilo anymore by saying anything else.

I couldn’t say anything at all.

With a sigh that sounded like a whisper, Camilo turned his back gently.

No one stopped him as he walked away, and I could only do my best to keep from collapsing.

——I wanted to know more about Camilo.

That was my motive for accepting this engagement.

Until now, I thought I had come to know him a little in these past few months.

What a foolish, presumptuous thought.

I didn’t understand anything. I didn’t even understand how much Camilo loved me.

“Hey, what are you guys doing?!”

The owner of the panicked voice was Lena-sensei, who was running fiercely from the other side of the covered walkway.

We still couldn’t move. In the midst of the heavy impact that had taken over the courtyard, we just stood there until Lena-sensei arrived.
