The villainess that got pregnant with the crown prince’s child decided to run away

Translator: Darling | Editor: Coming soon…

In the end, we hurried and arrived at the church.

But, for some reason, it feels a bit different than usual.

Usually, Raimu and Kaede would come up to me and greet me.

But I didn’t see them anywhere.

Did something happen to Meryl or the Sister?

Inadvertently, I gripped Makoto’s hand.

Perhaps she noticed that I was feeling a bit nervous, but she glanced at my direction. She held my hand as if she was telling me that everything is going to be all right.

“Let’s go.”

She said, not in her usual gentle expression, but sternly.

We entered the church, but no one came out. I couldn’t even feel the presence of anyone in here when I called them out.

“Were we too late…?”

“Huh?”

Her vague words made me feel anxious. Just what did she mean by that?

“Let’s go to the meeting room.”

She took my hand and hurriedly went to the meeting room. I was basically chasing after Makoto. We reached the room, and we started hearing someone say something.

“…I’m glad. It looks like we made it in time.”

Makoto opens the door to the room without even knocking. She’s usually polite, but this time, there was something off about her actions.

“Who are you?!”

Inside the room were the two Sisters, an elderly man, as well as a young man. The two men inside the room are people I have never seen in my life. The Sisters noticed us looked at us with calm eyes, but yet, their expression seemed glum.

“…What… Are you doing?

“Outsiders shouldn’t come to such a place like this, you know. Go hurry along now.”

The Sister’s expression was a bit different from usual, I could clearly feel that she did not want me here. Feeling that, I couldn’t help but feel a little bit depressed.

“She’s not an outsider, though. Besides, on your own, you can’t protect the children in this church. I think it would be rather difficult for you to cover for Lyra as well.”

The Sisters bit their lips at Makoto’s remark. They’re trying to protect us? Was that the reason why the Sister told me to leave?

“I see! So it was s her, then!”

The young man looked right in my direction.

“Kya!”

The young man moved nimbly. He violently grabbed my shoulder. His strong grip hurt.

“You shouldn’t be violent against women, you know?”

“What?!”

Perhaps he was annoyed by Makoto’s remarks, but he let go of me and struck Makoto.

“Makoto! Please, stop it!”

“Kya!”

Both the Sisters and I shrieked.
