I became a maid who gets killed by a young villainess.

She was supposed to be the one who would kill me, but when I actually met her, she was so small and pretty.

On top of that, she was just a child who had been neglected and abandoned by her family.

“Young lady, shall we try rebelling a little?”

The moment I found out that a huge inheritance would go to the villainess,

I decided to find a guardian for her.

*

Among the guardian candidates, I saved the villainess Lilith from the Duke’s house of Heriot, which was the original heroine’s family.

Thankfully, the Duke’s family liked the villainess.

“Lilith, who do you like the most?”

“Chloe.”

When the little girl replied with her tiny mouth, everyone else felt gloomy for not being chosen.

Lilith grew up well, and I also became an adult. So, I told them I would leave the Duke’s house.

“If Chloe leaves, I’ll leave too.”

That one sentence from Lilith shook the whole mansion.

The Duke’s family tried to stop me from leaving.

“But I don’t have any reason to stay here anymore…”

“Then marry me.”

“…What?”

I looked at Johann, the heroine’s older brother, who had always looked at me coldly.

“What… did you just say?”

I couldn’t believe those words came from his mouth.

“Your reason to stay here…”

“Isn’t marrying me enough?”

“I don’t want you to leave, Chloe.”

Johann grabbed my shoulder tightly. His quiet voice now carried emotions.
