Comment by Introvert on Death Is The Only Ending For The Villainess - Chapter 191

He calls her crazy and she agrees she might be. She had been the only Leyla to survive the genocide and finally just as she was about to complete her revenge she was returned to the past. She tells him it would be fun to see his face go crazy as he helplessly watches as she destroys the world he had been trying to save. He warns her she'll regret it with eerie eyes. Its a version of him she never seen in the past. She wonders whether she is really doing this to avenge her people or is it hatred towards the men who no longer love her. She tells him to watch as his beloved Penelope dies by her hands. As she gets ready to leave Vinter mutters Penelope's fire spell and the room explodes.

But despite the explosion the surrounding remains the same as nobody can see or hear the explosion. Yvonne crawls out of the wreckage with her face melted and her exposed flesh is burnt black with exposed bone. She turns her gaze away from her mangled body thinking that it wasn't long ago that she had devoured the two servants to sustain her body. It's not good to kill right away but she needs to eat. Then she notices the wizard the duke had tailing her and calls the Duke a sly fox. As he tries to step away and flee she uses her brainwashing to get him to come closer saying she's his g** now.

It's close to mid night when Yvonne arrives back at the estate. The duke is waiting for her at the door. The knights who were hiding appear as the duke raises his hand. Derek is at his side staring at her with cold eyes. The duke asks her where she's been until now. She tries to lie and say she got back earlier and went for a walk in the forest and fell asleep there. He tells her she's lying as he watched the empty carriage return. She tells him the carriage left her first and she took a wagon to the back door and the duke comments that the horseman was talking gibberish like a crazy person as if he was under some kind of magic. She thinks he's a sly fox who even checked with wizards and clenches her fist behind her back. When the duke asks why she didn't tell him she says she didn't know and she thought he would send her away so she pretended she didn't know and began to cry.

Derick tries to interrupt asking for them to do it in the morning as it's late and she came back safely. The duke continues and ask why she went to the top street. She tries to deny that she knows where that is. He then said there had been a testimony that Becky also went there before Penelope's coming of age ceremony. Derick tries to stop him but the Duke tells him to shut his mouth.

They had interrogated the head maid whilst Yvonne was out.

She had been left out of the original investigation as she had worked loyally in the house for so many years but when confronted today she admitted the maid had went to top street to buy something for Yvonne. The duke thought back to Vinter's words about why would Penelope ignore her loyal maid and would use Yvonne's maid to buy poison. It didn't make sense. Why did the maid suddenly commit suicide and why did Emily disappear after Penelope ran away. He then asks Yvonne did she order the head maid to prepare the poisoned cup as she could participate in the ceremony. Derek asks if this is true. Reynald (who is still drunk fyi) says in wonder that so Penelope wasn't doing a self play and that Yvonne was trying to poison her? But then he remembers he found an antidote and that the cups had been changed. Then realization hits him that it was meant to be Yvonne's self play. He remembers Yvonne crying with a dead face when Penelope fell but to think it was all an act. Derick tells not to jump to any conclusions yet and asks her again is it true. She tries to deny it and says she doesn't know where top street is. The Duke calls the butler who tells them that the wizard who was reporting every 30 mins had seen Yvonne go into top street and the reports were lost after a monster appeared. The duke tells her he has one last question and asks why she has no reflection in water. When you have the status of the Duke you come across ancient secrets in the imperial palace and find ancient documents describing bizarre beings. Reynold and Derick narrow their eyes asking what he's talking about.
