The Villainess Is Shy In Receiving Affection

p>

“Melody is like the daughter of the whole village.
Perhaps anyone would think so.
Don’t worry, I’ll talk to the chief.”

Otherwise, the chief and the doctor talked together, worrying about Melody’s work.

Perhaps the chief would be pleased before anyone else if she were to teach her to be a doctor.

“Will you come back with me?”

When the doctor asked again, Melody looked in front of the house for the last time.

Splash.

Her mother’s face, who was dragged out of the house, was stuck in the mud floor.

The security guard’s gesture toward her was just plain.
The frightened Melody turned its trembling gaze away.

“Let’s go, it’s dangerous here.”

The doctor urged and pulled the girl’s arm.

When she’s one step away from home, Melody felt as if she had heard someone calling her behind her back.

‘Melody!’ it was the way Loretta called her, so she quickly looked back.

But before she knew it, she didn’t see any fancy carriage and the little girl who taught her joy.

Ah…

Melody couldn’t even say goodbye wholeheartedly.

Melody returned to the doctor’s house, healed her wound, and ate a warm stew.

“You must be tired.
Sleep here.”

Ms.
Mullen even put Melody in a patient bed.

She climbed meekly up to bed and tucked herself up to her chin.

The rustling sensation is awkward, but she closed her eyes tightly.

Even if the morning comes, there’s no way anything’s going to change.
She tried to sleep as if she believed there is hope for tomorrow.

Melody opened her eyes at dawn.
Last night there was a lot of rain outside the window, and now it’s all quiet.

Melody rubbed her sleepy eyes.

She forgot to mention the first chapter of “The Duke’s Four Children” after a long time.

The slave merchant asks for mercy on the grounds that her daughter is young, but the Duke did not allow it.

After that, it is reported that she was dragged to the extreme.

At the same time this morning, Loretta wakes up in the middle of a very fancy room and is puzzled.

And there will be a scene where the maids are happy touching her cute cheeks.

And it just so happens that the Duke appears.

He was angry with the maids who were touching her, and when Loretta’s stomach twisted, he got angry again.

That naturally led Loretta to think of her father as a little scary.

Well… eventually they become good father and daughter to each other.

Melody got out of bed, arranged the covers, and wore a dress that was hanging on the wall.

It was a little damp because it rained yesterday.

“I should go home and change my clothes.”

Perhaps there is no one there now, so the doctor would not object if she returned back home.

When she went out to the kitchen, the doctor who bought bread early in the morning was heating the milk.

Melody thought it looked just like “Mom.” Like she’s a wonderful mother in a fairy tale book.

“Are you up, Melody?”

“Good day, doctor.”

“I’m glad you have a nice look on your face.”

Melody hurried to help her with the dish and heated the cup.

“I’ve been thinking about this for a while.”

Ms.
Mullen talked carefully, placing the white bread on Melody’s plate.

“I wonder what it would be like if you stayed in this house all throughout.”

“……What?”

“You know, my son left to become a knight.
There’s only one room left, so if you’re here, I’ll… It would be a lot easier to take care of you.”

Her face was filled with worries about her only son.

Even if she said she didn’t need a bad son who had left her house, she must have always been heartbroken.

“Isaiah…”

Haven’t you heard from him yet? Melody was about to ask, but she stopped.
She thought she knew the answer from the look on her face.
Bad Isaiah.
She can’t believe he had never contacted his good mother.

Melody frowned slightly, recalling Isaiah’s mischievous smile.

“There’s nothing to worry about my son, Melody.
For now, let’s just think about your protection.”

“I don’t mind going back home.”

“That’s hard to agree with.”

The girl’s mother is a slave merchant, and she naturally socialized with bad people.

They are cruel to children too, so they don’t know what kind of acts they’re going to do when they come to Melody, who is all alone.

“You still need protection.
Maybe it’s safer for you to stay here.”

Having said so, she added an important condition.

“Of course, if you don’t mind.”

“… No, I don’t like it.”

Melody put down a small piece of bread, and bowed her head at her.

“You’re saying that because you’re worried about me.
Thank you.”

“I-it’s not really that much.
I’m a very strict doctor.”

The doctor must have been a little embarrassed, but she coughed out of nowhere and turned her head.

“Do you mind if I think about it a little bit?”

“Yes, you can’t just make a sudden decision after all.”

” I think I’ll have to go home when I’m done eating.
I have to change my clothes and…”

“There’s a lot of things that need to be sorted out, but if you see someone in good clothes in front of your house, you should come straight back here instead of walking away.
Do you get it?”

Melody nodded due to her warm worry and quickly finished her meal.
