Comment by Introvert on Death Is The Only Ending For The Villainess - Chapter 200

As she teleported she didn't hear the last words Vinter murmured. In the space left behind, purple rose petals fell. Penelope arrives back at the shop and feels out of order. She thinks Yvonne is too terrifying to be a final boss and that she's the only one who wants to fight her. She wonders what it was like for Vinter who had to blow up a place he loved with his own hands. Even though she was furious for Vinter who had been helplessly defeated by Yvonne, Penelope calmed herself. It didn't make any difference that she no longer had both pieces. As Yvonne said, there are more hostages than she thought.

If she had taken both pieces without a crack they still wouldn't have a solution. She sighs heavily. Vinter bound by the magic circle was self inflicted.In the past he loved Yvonne and helped her. In repent for his sin he turned back time. Now that he has recovered his memories he has committed the taboo again, ready to turn back time if she fails to defeat Yvonne and save the world. His voice telling her she will turn back time forever lingers in her ears. She decides to go back to Callisto as it's imperative that they know what she just heard. She walks out onto the street and looks for a wagon. She thinks that she'll need to wait awhile.
